Abstract

Wireless LANs have been widely deployed in places such as business organizations, government agencies, hospitals, schools, and even the home environment. Mobility, flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and rapid deployment are some of the factors driving the spread of this technology. However, due to their nature wireless LANs are vulnerable to several types of attacks. Therefore, this study aims to discuss common threats related to the wireless LAN system, and a comprehensive review of existing studies regarding cybersecurity threats in Wireless LAN. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted to identify potential threats and identify appropriate countermeasures for each wireless WLA.
