Análisis de un sistema de seguridad basado en la norma ieee 802.11 del bloque de la Carrera de Agroindustria de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida y Tecnologías de la Uleam.

Abstract

In a world where wireless connectivity is essential for managing and transmitting in-formation, ensuring the security of these systems has become a priority. This study analyzes the implementation of a security system based on the IEEE 802.11 standard in the Agroin-dustry program at the Faculty of Life Sciences and Technology of Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí (ULEAM). The objective is to evaluate its effectiveness, identify vulnera-bilities, and propose improvements aimed at protecting information and optimizing system performance. The research employed an exploratory and descriptive approach, using an intentional non-probabilistic sampling method. Data was collected from a total of 260 participants, in-cluding faculty, administrative staff, and students, as well as from 7 additional surveys ad-ministered to specialized personnel. This focus group provided a comprehensive perspective on the current state of the network and the challenges related to its security systems. The findings revealed deficiencies in updating security protocols, inadequate training of technical staff, and a lack of user awareness regarding secure practices. These vulnerabili-ties, combined with intensive network usage, pose significant risks to the integrity, confiden-tiality, and availability of information. In summary, practical strategies are proposed to strengthen both system security and network management. These include implementing advanced protocols, continuous staff training, and user awareness campaigns. These measures aim to optimize the technological infrastructure and ensure a secure and efficient digital environment for the entire academic community.
