It's become common for businesses to create wireless networks via a router so multiple team members can conveniently access the Internet. The downside is that sensitive information can be leaked to external sources, which can create a host of problem when placed in the wrong hands. To tighten network security, it's best to select a router with an encryption feature and always leave it on. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) encryption is considered to be superior to Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) because it offers stronger encryption through temporal key integrity protocol. You may also want to turn off your wireless network after hours or during the weekend when it won't be used for a prolonged period of time. This should reduce the likelihood of any security threats occurring on your company's network.
Finally, there is the issue of keeping your Internet browser functioning at a high level and maximizing the security settings. For starters, you should take advantage of automatic updates if you're using Microsoft Windows. This will ensure that your browser is continually kept up-to-date through periodic updates. Increasing password security is smart if there is the potential for outside parties accessing the Internet on the computers or mobile devices of employees. This can be done by only using strong passwords that are at least eight characters in length with a combination of numbers. If your business uses a browser like Mozilla Firefox that automatically remembers passwords, you should also uncheck "Remember Passwords for Sites."
