Episode 40: Network-Based Attack Surfaces (Domain 2)


Listen Later

Your network is the digital highway that connects everything in your organization—and if not properly secured, it becomes the perfect path for attackers. In this episode, we explore the many ways that insecure networks create broad attack surfaces, with a focus on both wired and wireless vulnerabilities. We cover threats such as rogue access points, Wi-Fi spoofing, Bluetooth exploitation, and physical network tapping—all of which can provide unauthorized access or enable man-in-the-middle attacks. Poor segmentation, flat architectures, and weak encryption protocols further increase risk, giving attackers room to move laterally once they’re inside. We also explain how modern defenses like WPA3, VLANs, and 802.1X can reduce attack opportunities and strengthen access control. In securing the network, every connection matters—from the office laptop to the wireless printer.
