Wi-Fi Security Solutions: Protecting Your Network

Introduction

Wireless is your most visible attack surface. Wi-Fi security solutions reduce risk by authenticating users and devices, segmenting traffic, and watching for anomalies. With SpecOp Secure, these controls are standardized, enforced, and reported.

Core Controls

WPA3-Enterprise / 802.1X: Per-user/device credentials with EAP-TLS where possible. Avoid shared PSKs for corporate SSIDs.
SSO/MFA Integration: Tie Wi-Fi onboarding to identity; require MFA for admin changes.
Segmentation: Separate guest, employee, contractor, and IoT networks with VLANs and policy.
DNS Filtering & Web Controls: Block malicious destinations and risky categories.
Rogue AP and WIPS: Detect evil twins and unauthorized hotspots; alert and auto-mitigate.
Certificate-Based Onboarding: Use MDM to push certificates and profiles to corporate devices.

Operational Hygiene

Rotate admin credentials, restrict config access by role, and log changes. Apply firmware updates on cadence and review configuration drift monthly.

Monitoring and Response

Feed wireless auth and controller logs to SIEM/XDR. Detect unusual logins, mass deauth attempts, or sudden client surges. Playbooks guide response—block MACs, quarantine VLANs, or isolate APs as needed.

Educate Users

Teach staff to avoid random SSIDs, report captive portal anomalies, and use corporate VPN when required. Small habits reduce big risks.

Outcomes

  • Stronger identity assurance and fewer credential leaks 
  • Reduced lateral movement via segmentation 
  • Faster detection of rogue devices and attacks 
  • Evidence for auditors and customers
