Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to secure business networks against Wi-Fi vulnerabilities?
The best way to protect your business from Wi-Fi vulnerabilities is to switch to cellular connectivity for products like thermostats. Unlike traditional Wi-Fi, cellular networks have built-in encryption, don’t rely on shared passwords, and eliminate the risks of rogue networks. This ensures a more secure and hassle-free solution for your operations.
How can businesses ensure third-party vendors don’t compromise their security?
To minimize risks from third-party vendors, businesses should use strict access controls, such as limiting vendor connections to specific systems. Network segmentation is also critical; this separates sensitive systems from external access points. Regularly auditing vendor credentials and implementing multi-factor authentication can provide an extra layer of security.
