Abstract

Wireless networks began to be used in the 1990s, using radio frequency signals, a technology that was created in the military sphere and over time has become a major technological innovation. With the advancement of technologies, society began to notice the vulnerability of WI-FI networks and any other technology that makes use of wireless connectivity and the Internet, due to the fact that these technologies travel various types of sensitive information in the daily lives of each user. This study aimed to analyze the importance of information security in Wi-Fi networks and describe the role of Information Technology (IT) in the face of the network security process. It is a qualitative bibliographic research in which a bibliographic survey was carried out with the main authors that demonstrate the importance of Information Security in WI-FI networks. It was possible to observe through this study the security flaws in Wi-FI networks, as well as the importance of Information Technology in network security.
