Detailed explanation-1: -Truth: wireless networks are less secure than wired. Communication signals being transmitted through the air/ radio waves are far more likely to get intercepted if the proper encryption (security) technologies are not in place. However, many security options are available so wireless internet can be very safe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Endpoint devices are not attached to wires, so they can move freely. Because of this, wireless networks are often able to handle much larger numbers of connections than their wired counterparts. The greater capacity and freedom can make aspects of wireless network design much easier.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wireless security prevents unauthorized access or damage to computers using wireless networks. The most common type of wireless security is Wi-Fi security, which protects information sent through a Wi-Fi network. Several different types of security measures can be used to protect Wi-Fi networks.
Detailed explanation-4: -Conduct auditing and mapping. Keep the network up to date. Make the network physically secure. Think about MAC address filtering. Use VLANs to separate traffic. Authenticate with 802.1X. Use VPNs to encrypt certain computers or servers. Ensure that the entire network is encrypted.
