Here's what that means for you: new Wi-Fi routers will come with stronger protections for the data that flows between your computers, phones or smart home devices and your internet connection. It will also boost security in workplace Wi-Fi networks with changes to the way wireless works on enterprise networks. The Wi-Fi Alliance, a partnership of tech companies that hashes out the protocol for Wi-Fi, announced some of these features earlier in 2018. On Monday, the organization announced the protocol has been finalized.

Wi-Fi is easy to take for granted -- it's literally in the air all around us, provided we're near a wireless router. But there's tons of sensitive information floating over the ether on Wi-Fi connections, so making wireless connections secure is no joke.
