The Best Wi-Fi for Smart Desk(s) Security: Why Choose Fortinet APs

Smart Office Wi-Fi is not only about speed but safety and security, performance, and more. Organizations are adopting IoT devices, cloud applications, and remote working, which has exposed more risks to their networks. This is exactly why AI-Driven Security is necessary, and Fortinet APs deliver the highest level of protection for contemporary smart offices.

This post will detail how Fortinet secures the Smart Office as well as why PJ Networks advises Fortinet to those looking to bolster their business Wi-Fi security.

What is a Smart Office?

A smart office streamlines processes and enhances productivity through smart technology-driven systems such as IoT devices, automation, and cloud-based collaboration tools. These offices often include:

• Automated lighting and environmental control
• Wireless printers, sensors, and surveillance cameras
• IoT conference rooms and digital assistants
• Solutions for cloud storage and remote access

This means there are plenty of wireless connections and devices communicating every hour of every day, which is why keeping a secure Smart Office Wi-Fi network is very critical. But that’s where the difficulties start.

Challenges of Wi-Fi Security in Smart Workspaces

Smart offices make life easier and increase productivity. But every Wi-Fi-connected device can become an attack vector. There are multiple major risks to businesses when it comes to securing the Smart Office Wi-Fi:

1. Unauthorized Access

Weak passwords or open networks can be exploited by hackers to get access to sensitive business data. Once inside, they can steal sensitive files or impede operations.

2. IoT Vulnerabilities

IoT devices — such as smart thermostats and wireless security cameras — tend to come with few built-in security protections. They can be hijacked by attackers to spy on operations or conduct cyberattacks.

3. Rogue Access Points

Weaknesses in Wi-Fi security that allow unauthorized access to access points, which can then intercept Wi-Fi traffic and steal credentials. Employees who connect to these rogue APs have no way to know they are compromised.

4. MitM (Man-in-the-Middle) Attacks

Hackers can intercept data between employees and business applications, such as emails, passwords, and even financial transactions.

5. Device Faking and MAC Address Attacks

An attacker may impersonate a trusted device, tricking the network into allowing access that should be blocked. This is a targeted attack on many poorly secured Wi-Fi networks.

Then how do smart offices fight against these threats? That’s where Fortinet’s AI-driven security enters the stage.
