Wireless Network Security: Preventive Techniques and Countermeasures

This research delves into the critical aspects of wireless network security, exploring the vulnerabilities and threats that pose risks to data integrity and user privacy. It examines various security breaches, including data modification, impersonation attacks, eavesdropping, and denial of service, highlighting the importance of robust security measures. The paper analyzes different levels of security countermeasures, encompassing administrative, physical, and technical approaches. It emphasizes the significance of data encryption, integrity, authentication, and active protection mechanisms in safeguarding wireless networks. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of wireless network security challenges and effective preventive techniques, contributing to the development of secure and reliable wireless communication systems.

Wireless Network security and preventive techniques
Abstract
Wireless technology is in demand in the present market as it enables the advancement of
technology and makes the consumer feel the better experience. In the present time, various
cryptographic techniques were used to provide security such as encryption and authentication. It
will help in providing security restrictions to many of the infiltrations. There were various
protocols that have been established for the wireless technology such as IEEE 802.11, cellular,
blue tooth and so on.There are several security measures that have been added to the current
scenario of wireless technology such as policies, access control, and application security and so
on (Gopalakrishnan, 2014).
There are various security breaches that affect the protective measures of the wireless security. It
includes data modification, impersonation attacks, eavesdropping, replaying, and denial of
service and so on. Instead, of this, there are more categories of threats that belong to internal and
external agents. Countermeasures are elaborated in the form of three levels and they are
administrative level, physical level and technical level security. The security mechanism
provided in information security includes data encryption, integrity, authentication and active
protection (Al Ameen, Liu & Kwak, 2010). This topic has been selected for the research as it
enables the users to research in the field of advanced technology. Wireless technology is also
widely used in many of the organizations and its security must be studied accurately.
