Question

Shawn's supervisor has tasked him with determining how the company can increase the security of its Wi-Fi. Shawn plans to present several options to his supervisor and ask her to check his work

Answer 1

Shawn can consider the ff. task to determine and show how he can increase the security of their Wi-Fi in the office by doing the following:

1. MAC Address Filtering - Wireless connection security passwords can be easily given to everybody even those who are working outside the company. Therefore, to prevent unauthorized access, Shawn can perform MAC Address Filtering to the company's router. MAC Address are unique addresses (in a form of number and letters) representing the network card of a device (Eg. Laptops, desktops, mobile phones and tablets). Any device that has internet connection, needs a network card with MAC Address. Shawn must get all the MAC address of the devices of their employees and he must put it in the router's page (He can consult the ISP or internet provider of their company to log in to the router's page). Once he has registered all the MAC Address in the router, devices which their address are listed in the router's page can only connect.

2. Change the password of the WiFi regularly. Another security procedure that Shawn can do to increase their Wi-Fi's security and prevent unauthorized access is to change the Wi-Fi's password regularly. He can perform the change every once in a month.
