Wireless Network Penetration Testing

What is a wireless network penetration test?

Wireless networks are everywhere, for example in your office, the hotel that you are meeting in and your local coffee shop. Employing a wireless solution in your office can offer greater flexibility, but as wireless was never designed with security in mind, it comes with a great potential for attack. From rogue access points to weak encryption algorithms, threats to wireless networks are unique and the risks can be significant.

Wi-Fi can provide opportunities for attackers to infiltrate an organisation’s secured environment – irrespective of security access controls. Penetration testing can help identify weaknesses in the wireless infrastructure.

Wireless network testing generally includes:

  • Identifying Wi-Fi networks, including wireless fingerprinting, information leakage and signal leakage
  • Determining encryption weaknesses, such as encryption cracking, wireless sniffing and session hijacking
  • Identifying opportunities to penetrate a network by using wireless or evading network access control measures
  • Identifying legitimate users’ identities and credentials to access otherwise private networks and services

The vulnerabilities are presented in a report that allows you to assess the relative business risk that they represent along with the required remedial action. These can then be resolved in line with your budget and risk appetite.

Trevor hosts all my important information on a cloud storage system for me. If there’s a problem, which there was at my end a couple of months ago, the system flags this up and then I get a call from Trevor. He sorted it out very quickly which was a relief for me! His knowledge of cybersecurity is amazing too, if a little scary………..
Trevor is an expert when it comes to cybersecurity. Over the years, Trevor has given sound advice to help me protect my website from spam-bots and other security threats. If you’re looking to protect your IT systems and your website, I highly recommend speaking to Trevor.
Trevor is concise, professional and extremely knowledgeable in all of his subjects. He recently gave a very interesting and thought provoking talk to the Federation of Small Business Virtual Networking group that I host here in Leicester, on the subject of Cyber crime. It stimulated many questions and much discussion, all of which made for a very positive meeting.
I had the pleasure of attending a workshop, Cybercrime- what can go wrong? as part of the #LBF (Leicester Business Festival) . I found the course to be relaxed yet informative, with Trevor’s warm and friendly style, I was able to participate without any inhibition. His knowledge has proved valuable, allowing a proactive and productive implementation of new processes in the work place.

I’ve been to 2 of Trevor’s seminars/lectures recently and both were brilliant; engaging, informative and highly worthwhile, I would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting to learn more about Cybersecurity.
