After over a decade of using the same security protocols, Wi-Fi is finally getting a security upgrade that it desperately needed. The Wi-Fi Alliance that manages Wi-Fi technologies has announced the official release of WPA3, which is the latest version of the Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA), a user authentication technology for Wi-Fi connections.

“Wi-Fi Alliance introduces Wi-Fi CERTIFIED WPA3, the next generation of Wi-Fi security, bringing new capabilities to enhance Wi-Fi protections in personal and enterprise networks,” the alliance wrote in a press release. “Building on the widespread adoption of WPA2 over more than a decade, WPA3 adds new features to simplify Wi-Fi security, enable more robust authentication, and deliver increased cryptographic strength for highly sensitive data markets. As the Wi-Fi industry transitions to WPA3 security, WPA2 devices will continue to interoperate and provide recognized security.”
