Shared or Weak WiFi Passwords

Allowing employees or guests to share a single WiFi password prevents you from controlling who is accessing your company network. Once a person has your WiFi password, they can access your network at any time, even from outside your building's locked doors, or potentially after you have terminated them, leaving you with no control. Users should always connect to WiFi using a unique username and strong password that company staff can enable and disable as needed. Company policy should always enforce users to use strong passwords so your WiFi password cannot be guessed or compromised.
