2-6. Notes on Security
Because a wireless LAN uses electromagnetic signals instead of a network cable to
establish communication with network devices, it has the advantage of allowing devices
to connect to the network easily. However, a disadvantage of this is that within a certain
range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, and if security
countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the following may
occur.
- Communication is intercepted by a third party
- Unauthorized access to the network
- Leakage of personal information (ID and Card information)
- Spoofing and the falsification of intercepted data
- System crashes and data corruption
Nowadays, wireless LAN cards or access points are equipped with security measures
that address such security problems, so that you can enable security-related settings for
wireless LAN products in order to reduce the likelihood of problems occurring.
We recommend that you make yourself fully acquainted with the possible implications
of what might happen if you use a wireless product without enabling security features,
and that you configure security-related settings and use wireless products at your own
responsibility.
