Desenvolvimento de um guia com configurações e fatores infraestruturais em redes wireless para ambientes SOHO

Abstract

Understanding cybersecurity in wireless networks for a category of people who work with Wi-Fi for online sales in the network technology area is relevant for improvements in communication and efficiency of these computer networks, improving processes and services for this audience. The objective was to create a scientific guide with configurations and infrastructure factors in computer networks, specifically WLAN technology. The justification lies in improvements for self-employed workers in terms of cybersecurity, reduced operational costs and business opportunities. The guide's construction contains technical information on essential configurations that business owners should implement on their networks, such as strong passwords, updated security protocols, firewall configurations, proper router login/password management, and other factors. The methodology used in this research is applied in nature, providing practical solutions to improve security in your WLAN networks. To achieve this objective, we present a quantitative approach, using a questionnaire as the main data collection instrument from SOHO entrepreneurs. A field survey made it possible to obtain numerical information about the needs and knowledge of these entrepreneurs in relation to information security in wireless networks. A guide was developed based on this published research for a website, configured using Google Sites software to facilitate access and navigation. The content of the guide was structured in an explanatory manner. The main results obtained highlight the identification of best practices for Wi-Fi configuration.
