Abstract

In today's interconnected world, wireless data transmission technologies have seamlessly integrated into the fabric of modern business operations. As reliance on these technologies grows, so does the imperative to ensure robust cyber security measures. Particularly in the age of wireless innovations, exemplified by the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), the discourse surrounding the security of wireless technologies underscores the necessity of comprehending both established threats and the continuous emergence of new vulnerabilities. This underscores the urgent need for timely detection and mitigation strategies. While the convenience afforded by wireless data transmission technologies grants society unprecedented access to information and facilitates the management of diverse devices, processes, and systems, it also exposes users and modern information and communication systems (ICS) to significant cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Consequently, there arises a pressing need to address these challenges comprehensively. This research dissects contemporary methodologies aimed at restricting access to wireless networks, identifying potential vulnerabilities, and crafting effective responses to cyberattacks. It delves into various facets of cyber security, including data encryption, user authentication mechanisms, traffic monitoring protocols, and anomaly detection algorithms. Furthermore, it delves into the crucial aspect of educating personnel on wireless security practices, equipping them with threat awareness and incident response capabilities. Given the dynamic landscape of cybersecurity technologies and threats, this work seeks to establish a foundational understanding of the security landscape within wireless networks. By doing so, it aims to outline pragmatic strategies for effectively managing security risks, thereby fortifying the resilience of modern organizations and safeguarding critical information assets.
