CBT Nuggets | Hack-Proof Your Wi-Fi: How to Design a Strong Wireless Network with Authentication & Encryption @cbtnuggets | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated June 07 2023
Are you curious about how enterprise-level wireless networks differ from the Wi-Fi networks we have at home?
In this video, CBT Nuggets trainer Jeff Kish examines the distinctive security requirements of enterprise-level wireless networks and how authentication plays a critical role in securing these networks.
There are two primary authentication methods: using usernames and passwords, and providing certificates. While usernames and passwords are commonly used for authentication, they are not the most secure due to the prevalence of password breaches and weak passwords. Certificates, on the other hand, are more secure because they are digitally signed by an encryption key and unique to each device or user.
Once users are authenticated against a wireless network, we can use that authentication to dictate what they are allowed or not allowed to access. For example, only specific employees may be granted access to the file server, while guests cannot access any internal resources.
However, authentication alone does not ensure data privacy. Anyone can listen to wireless signals, so data needs to be encrypted. The video explores the three primary protocols for encrypting WiFi traffic, with a particular emphasis on the upcoming WPA3 standard that will soon replace WPA2 as the most common encryption protocol.
