Eavesdropping attack

What is eavesdropping attack?

An eavesdropping attack involves an unauthorized party listening to and monitoring private communication. This threatens the confidentiality of the data being exchanged.

How can you resist an eavesdropping attack?

Use of VPN: A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts your internet connection, making it harder for attackers to eavesdrop on your communication.
Strong encryption: Ensure that all sensitive data sent over the network is encrypted. This includes using HTTPS on websites.
Secure Wi-Fi networks: Use strong passwords and modern encryption methods like WPA3 to protect wireless networks.
Avoid public Wi-Fi networks: Public networks are often insecure and can be targets for eavesdropping attacks. If you must use a public network, use a VPN.
Network segmentation: Divide the network into smaller segments to limit access and reduce the impact of a potential attack.
Continuous monitoring: Monitor network traffic to detect suspicious activity early.
Software updates: Keep all software updated to protect against known vulnerabilities that can be exploited in eavesdropping attacks.
