Authentication mechanism absence or evasion - WiFi

Authentication mechanism absence or evasion - WiFi

Description

Te system has one old authentication mechanism that can be bypassed and be vulnerable to an intrusion. An attacker can gain access to the network and see communication traffic, whether encrypted or not.

Impact

Set a fragil encryption technique in authentication become a target for exploitation.

Recommendation

- Select the most secure authentication method that is supported by your wireless network clients.
- Set up strong encryption algorithms in order to enforce authentication protocol.

Threat

Unauthenticated internal attacker.

Expected Remediation Time

⌚ 120 minutes.
