Abstract
Systems, data, users, and networks are essential in terms of information security. Systems, data, users and networks are essential in terms of information security. Wi-Fi wireless networks play a crucial role in increasing connectivity, as well as preventing and monitoring unauthorized access. Nonetheless, Wi-Fi wireless networks’ security is conditioned by different variables incorporated in standards, norms, good practices, and various investigations concerning this topic.
In this way, the present research exposes an information survey of certain variables based on a narrative review, which allows their identification and possibly the incorporation of others. The results obtained from the survey will be shown through a conceptual model, which allows visualizing the different aspects required in the security that is applied to this technology.
