Wireless Security Assessments

Wireless networks often extend far beyond physical walls, creating invisible pathways that adversaries exploit to breach your environment. MWGroup's Wireless Security Assessments help organizations understand and secure the full footprint of their wireless infrastructure to ensure signals, devices, and user connections don't become weak links in your security posture.

Our Wireless Testing Services

Whether remote or on-site, our assessments emulate the tactics of sophisticated threat actors to uncover vulnerabilities in wireless technologies, authentication protocols, and client behaviors.

Remote Wireless Security Assessment

Our Remote Wireless Security Assessment provides an efficient option for assessing wireless security posture without requiring an on-site presence. MWGroup conducts targeted analysis of your wireless infrastructure from a remote vantage point, identifying weaknesses that may be exposed to external attackers.

Key testing phases include:

SSID Encryption Analysis - Evaluating wireless network encryption standards to identify weak configurations or legacy protocols.
Limited Client Discovery - Assessing which client devices are discoverable remotely, and analyzing beacon and probe traffic for potential information leakage.
Targeted Attacks - Performing controlled attacks based on SSID or client configuration, such as handshake captures for offline password cracking.

This remote option offers rapid visibility into high-level risks for organizations looking for low-disruption testing.

On-Site Wireless Security Assessment

For organizations requiring deeper insight, our On-Site Wireless Security Assessment delivers a comprehensive, ground-level analysis of your wireless landscape. MWGroup deploys experienced operators and specialized tools on-site to identify vulnerabilities that might remain hidden from remote-only testing.

Key testing activities include:

Passive Access Point (AP) Discovery - Locating all broadcast and hidden SSIDs within your environment.
Network and Client Discovery - Mapping devices and client behaviors to identify potential targets or misconfigurations.
SSID Encryption Analysis - Testing encryption protocols and authentication methods for weaknesses.
Threat Profiling - Assessing how adversaries might leverage discovered wireless infrastructure for lateral attacks or data exfiltration.
Network and Client Exploitation - Attempting real-world attacks such as rogue AP deployments, Evil Twin attacks, and credential harvesting.
Rogue AP Detection - Identifying unauthorized devices impersonating legitimate networks.
Heat Mapping - Creating visual maps to assess signal bleed and unintended coverage areas extending beyond secure perimeters.
War Driving / War Walking - Physically surveying the premises to detect signals outside expected coverage zones.
