What you'll learn

In a nearest neighbor attack, a threat actor hijacks an access point across the street from its target and abuses a trusted relationship to log in to the victim’s WiFi network, paving the way for them to exfiltrate data or move deeper into the target network. With this course, you’ll understand what this threat means to you, and the steps you need to take to mitigate your organization’s exposure.
