How Can Nurses Ensure They Are Using a Secure Wi-Fi Network?
Nurses should follow several best practices to ensure they are using a secure Wi-Fi network:
1. Use Encrypted Connections: Ensure the Wi-Fi network uses WPA3 or WPA2 encryption. This helps protect data transmitted over the network. 2. Verify Network Authenticity: Only connect to verified networks. Avoid connecting to public or unrecognized Wi-Fi networks. 3. Use VPNs: A Virtual Private Network (VPN) adds an additional layer of security by encrypting data and masking the user's IP address. 4. Update Devices Regularly: Keep all devices updated with the latest security patches and software updates. 5. Employ Strong Passwords: Use complex and unique passwords for accessing Wi-Fi networks and related applications.
