Summary  
This chapter covers implementing multi-layered security measures for wireless communications, including encryption protocols (WPA2), access control via SSID/password and MAC filtering, secure tunneling with VPNs, firmware updates, and monitoring through firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

General domain of usage  
Network security

**Wireless networks** offer flexibility and convenience, but they also introduce additional security vulnerabilities compared to wired networks. Securing wireless networks involves using a combination of **encryption**, **access control**, and **monitoring** to mitigate these risks and ensure data remains protected.

Why is it important to change the default SSID and password of a wireless router?
