Wireless LANs: The Hidden Ransomware Risk Businesses Can’t Ignore
DSI Tech Highlights Emerging Threats and Strategic Defenses in Enterprise Wireless Networks
[City, State] — Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) have become fundamental to how modern organizations operate, providing the mobility and connectivity essential for business, education, and public services. However, this same convenience introduces significant security risks. Increasingly, cybercriminals are exploiting WLANs as a launchpad for credential theft, lateral movement, and ransomware deployment.
DSI Tech, a national leader in managed IT services and network security, warns that wireless networks represent one of the most under protected layers in many organizations’ cybersecurity posture—especially as devices proliferate and remote access becomes standard.
The Emerging Threat: WLAN as a Ransomware Vector
Unlike wired networks, WLANs transmit data over the air, making them more accessible to malicious actors within physical range. Attackers are leveraging this openness to intercept traffic, impersonate legitimate access points, and deploy malicious payloads undetected.
These attacks are not theoretical. Increasingly, WLAN vulnerabilities are exploited as the first step in ransomware campaigns, allowing attackers to infiltrate systems, harvest credentials, and lock down data
