Data, Device and System Threats

Wrtually every threat that exists on wired networks also exists on wireless and mobile
networks. In addition to these threats, some threats are specific to wireless and mobile
networks.

In a wireless or mobile environment, attackers can deny service by creating radio
interference that prevents clients from communicating with access points. Another
method is to physically take out a mobile backhaul connection to deny network access
to smartphone subscribers. Managing mobile and Wi-Fi-enabled devices requires a
broader approach than managing the security of wired networks.

For this assignment:

Research data theft threats, device control threats, and system access threats to both
wireless and mobile networks.

List and briefly describe at least two examples of each threat for both types of
environments.
