5.4 Understand Wireless Network Security
5.4.7 Describe wireless security policy
• It is a subset of network security that adds protection for a wireless computer network.
• Wireless network security is also known as wireless security.
• Wireless network security is the process of designing, implementing and ensuring security on a wireless computer network.
5.4.8 Implement security policy on wireless network
• To secure a network is to implement different layers of security so that an attacker must compromise two or more systems to gain access to critical assets.
• Security measures often restrict personnel in their operating practices and make some activities less convenient which results in a temptation to boost security regulations.
5.4 Understand wireless network security
5.4.1 Explain wireless network
Wireless networks are computer networks that are not connected by cables of any kind.
The use of a wireless network enables enterprises to avoid the costly process of introducing cables into buildings or as a connection between different equipment location
