If you’d rather not worry about credential theft at all, SecureW2’s Cloud Security Suite has you covered. In this article, we will outline examples of the tools you can use to better understand and test for MITM attacks. To defend your network against MITM attacks, it’s important to understand the methods you have at your disposal. MITM attacks can happen anywhere, as many devices automatically connect to the network with the strongest signal, or will connect to a SSID name they remember. The attacker sets up hardware pretending to be a trusted wireless network in order to trick unsuspecting victims into connecting to it and sending over their credentials. A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack is a highly effective type of cyber attack that involves a hacker infiltrating a private network by impersonating a rogue access point and acquiring login credentials.
