Tighten Up Your Wireless Network Security

Apart from changing the default password; updating firmware, software
and drivers; and running anti-malware, spyware and virus software,
businesses can fight hackers and intruders by performing the actions
below.
  • Disable SSID* broadcasting to hide network devices from nearby users
  • Rename the SSID to prevent hackers from locating your wireless devices
  • Encrypt data transmission and storage (including email) preferably with WPA
  • Restrict remote network management
  • Set IP ranges to non-default values to evade CSRF** attacks
  • Log out after configuring network devices; neglecting to do so may leave the route as authenticated for other users
