Wireless Network Security Assessment
Wireless networks are an absolute necessity of the contemporary business environment. Connectivity and flexibility for equipment and staff represent a boon but security risks involved with it result in a high price to pay. Wireless networks provide one of the necessary doorways to vital information or internal systems. Accorian realizes exactly the urgency of the need to secure your wireless communication channels.

Why Do You Need Wireless Network Security Assessment?
01
Identifying Weaknesses
As part of our assessment, we conduct a detailed analysis to identify weak points across your wireless network. We test parameters such as encryption protocols, authentication mechanisms, access controls, and network segmentation in detail. This helps organizations understand potential security gaps in their systems and take proactive measures to mitigate associated risks.
02
Protection of Sensitive Data
Transfer and storage protocols, along with encryption protocols are also tested to ensure that data flows smoothly and is not accessed or intercepted by unauthorized users. This will tighten security controls and reduce the chances of data being compromised.
03
Compliance Fulfilment
Many industries are subject to strict regulatory requirements for wireless network security. Our assessments will ensure your organization is compliant with the relevant wireless regulations, such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. We make our assessments tailored to your regulatory framework to avoid fines, legal penalties, and reputational damage from non-compliance.

Wireless Network Security Assessment Services
Key Aspects Of Our Wireless Network Security Assessment Services
Thorough assessment
Our assessments provide a comprehensive evaluation of your wireless network’s security posture, from all aspects of your network infrastructure, including hardware, software, configurations, and policies. We use a combination of automated tools, manual techniques, and industry best practices to identify vulnerabilities, and effectively evaluate security controls.
Vulnerability Detection
We can identify the weaknesses in your wireless security defenses through comprehensive testing and in-depth analysis, from common easy-to-fix configuration errors to the most complex and sophisticated exploits. As we rate them according to the exploitability of their severity and possible impact on your organization, you would then prioritize focusing on the most critical security risks.
Comprehensive Assessment Report
We will present you with an easy-to-understand report of our findings at the end of each assessment, plus recommendations on how to increase the security of your wireless network. That will include an executive summary, technical analysis, strategies for remediation based on risk assessment, and solution options customized to your organization’s needs. We want to be able to give you the tools and information necessary to greatly improve your security.

Do not let your wireless networks become the new vector of cyber vulnerabilities. Our wireless network security assessment services provide corporate networks with enhanced safety and security. Feel free to contact us to get more information about how we can help in protecting your valuable assets. One potent attack that attackers can exploit on a wireless network is the Evil Twin Attack. In an Evil Twin Attack:
Rogue Access Point Creation
In most cases, the attacker creates a rogue AP whose SSID is typically very similar to the available networks in the surrounding area.
Deceptive SSID
The rogue AP advertises the same service set identifier as does the legitimate network, hence making the devices around it believe that this is a trusted network.
User Connection
Users unknowingly connect to the rogue AP, assuming it's the legitimate network they intended to join.
Traffic Interception
Once connected, this allows the attacker to capture, monitor, or manipulate the traffic flowing through the Rogue AP. In this way, malicious activities can be carried out by attackers, including capturing sensitive information such as login credentials, injecting malicious content into web traffic, or launching man-in-the-middle attacks.
Data Theft or Compromise
An attacker could view network traffic from one's contacts, enabling him to mount further attacks on connected devices or even against the underlying network, or to steal sensitive information and compromise user accounts.
Performing a wireless penetration test (pen-test) can help identify and mitigate the risks associated with an Evil Twin Attack.
Here’s how:
Identification of Vulnerable Networks
Security experts conducting a wireless penetration test search for those wireless networks that are vulnerable to evil twin attacks during testing. They also use tools like Airodump-ng or Kismet to further discover networks that have weak security configurations or ones with no systems of authentication applied in them.
Rogue Access Point Detection
Pen testers simulate evil twin attacks by creating rogue access points with deceptive SSIDs and further making them appear to be identical to the target environment. They check how easily users connect to them without verifying their legitimacy.
Traffic Analysis and Interception
After setting up rogue access points, pen testers capture the network traffic to analyse whether sensitive data is flowing through these compromised connects—for instance, login credentials and other highly confidential data. This identifies vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the security defences of the network.
Evaluation of User Awareness
Wireless pen testing provides insight into what users are aware of in terms of Wi-Fi security. Pen testers check whether users line up quickly to connect to rogue APs without verifying their authenticity, which would indicate a possible deficiency in security awareness training or policies.
Recommendations for Mitigation
Recommendations include mitigating Evil Twin Attacks by enhancing authentication methods and implementing WIDS/WIPS (Wireless Intrusion Detection/Prevention Systems), as well as conducting regular security awareness training for employees.
Network Hardening
This will give you better insights for further hardening of an organization’s network infrastructure against Evil Twin Attacks, such as: configuring systems that can identify rogue APs; using stronger encryption protocols such as WPA3 and frequently updating firmware versions to rectify known vulnerabilities.
By proactively identifying and addressing vulnerabilities through wireless pen testing, organizations can significantly reduce the risk of falling victim to an Evil Twin Attack and other wireless network threats.
