Security Risks in Wireless Networks             Wireless networks are more common due to their ability to provide easy access to services to their users. As a result, this provides an opportunity for intruders to attack and gain access to such networks and connected systems remotely. On the contrary, wired networks require intruders to have physical access to the network to launch an attack (Kadhim & Sadkhan, 2021). A common security threat to wireless networks involves piggybacking, where intruders can freely access the network through its wireless access point.             Piggybacking involves the intrusion of unsecured wireless networks using wireless-enabled computers that gain access to the network and freely use the internet. As a result, the intruder can take up bandwidth during usage, thus interrupting user speeds and further leading to service violations when the number of allowed connections is exceeded (Kadhim & Sadkhan, 2021). This type of vulnerability is...
