\ud83d\udd0eIn the modern world, a secure WiFi network is no longer a luxury \u2014 it\u2019s a critical necessity for every business. However, many companies in Albania underestimate the risk that lies behind a poor configuration of their network. Here are 7 mistakes we often encounter in the field and ways you can avoid them. <\/p>\n\n

1. Using the same network for staff and customers<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

This creates an open path for unauthorized access. Networks should be built separately, with clear priorities. <\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

2. Default or very simple passwords<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Is \u201cadmin123\u201d still used? This makes devices more vulnerable to automated attacks. <\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

3. Lack of control over new entries<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Every new device that connects to the network must be authorized. This isn’t paranoia \u2014 it’s good security practice.<\/p>\n\n

4. No VLANs or segmentation are used to separate traffic<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

When all devices share the same “traffic path,” it’s like leaving the key under the rug for the thief.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

5. Lack of configuration backup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

In the event of an attack or defect, not having a copy of the router or server configuration can paralyze the network for hours.<\/p>\n\n

6. Failure to audit the network at regular intervals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Changes happen: people leave, equipment changes. A periodic audit reveals precisely these new vulnerabilities that may arise. <\/p>\n\n

7. Lack of real-time logging and monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Without detailed logs, you won’t even know when an attack attempt occurs. Monitoring systems should be part of any serious infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n
