Wireless networks are introduced largely these days in the business environments. This makes the it easier for the attackers to carry exploitation process which was difficult in case of standard wired networks. Wireless communication increases flexibility but also brings along various potential threats for the organization ranging from weak encryption to man in the middle attacks. Hence, Wireless Security Assessment is essential for determining weak access points in the organization wireless environment. Although organizations have already implemented security controls for protecting their wireless network, it is also important to check whether they have implemented security controls accurately.
Wireless security assessments include analysis of the network structure and configuration, detecting weak security passwords and algorithms, and exploration of the risks related to the so called “evil twin” attack.
