Disabling the broadcast SSID is sufficient to prevent clients from accidentally connecting to
your network, but it will not prevent even the simplest of attempts by a hacker to connect or
monitor unencrypted traffic.
Suppressing the SSID broadcast offers a very minimal level of protection on an otherwise
exposed network (such as a guest network) where the priority is making it easy for clients to
get a connection and where no sensitive information is available.
