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<p><strong><strong>1. Using the same network for staff and customers<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>This creates an open path for unauthorized access. Networks should be built separately, with clear priorities. <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>2. Default or very simple passwords<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Is \u201cadmin123\u201d still used? This makes devices more vulnerable to automated attacks. <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>3. Lack of control over new entries<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Every new device that connects to the network must be authorized. This isn&#8217;t paranoia \u2014 it&#8217;s good security practice.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><strong>4. No VLANs or segmentation are used to separate traffic<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>When all devices share the same &#8220;traffic path,&#8221; it&#8217;s like leaving the key under the rug for the thief.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>5. Lack of configuration backup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>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<p><strong>6. Failure to audit the network at regular intervals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Changes happen: people leave, equipment changes. A periodic audit reveals precisely these new vulnerabilities that may arise. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>7. Lack of real-time logging and monitoring<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Without detailed logs, you won&#8217;t even know when an attack attempt occurs. Monitoring systems should be part of any serious infrastructure. <\/p>\n\n<p><strong>What does AlbaScan recommend?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>We offer:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Complete audit of your existing network<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Secure segmentation and configuration<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time monitoring and reporting platform<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customized solutions according to your industry<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcdeCall to action:<\/p>\n\n<p>If you are unsure whether your network is protected, contact AlbaScan for a free initial check. <\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udd0eIn the modern world, a secure WiFi network is no longer a luxury \u2014 it\u2019s a critical necessity for every business.
