TESTS AND EVALUATES THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NETWORK SECURITY (WIFI) AGAINST EXTERNAL THREATS

Abstract

The protection of the network (IEEE 802.11) means protection from possible external threats and attacks, which occur as a result of a weakness in network security protocols and lead to the penetration of users, so our study aims to search for potential threats to the Wi-Fi network based on the standard (IEEE 802.11) and evaluate these threats that are being violated By using programs and devices and revealing them to government institutions, companies and users in order to maintain the security of their information, personal data and digital transactions, Where solutions were given for each potential penetration, gaps were identified, and the level of risk was determined., as well as rationalizing the user for the optimal correct use of Wi-Fi networks and how to use the most secure networks, where the protection of users’ data and their information is one of the important priorities for users to trust networks in all transactions.
