How Does this Affect Me?. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a wireless network security standard that
provides the same level of security as the security in a wired network. WEP encrypts data as it is sent
from one endpoint to another. Whenever you use a wireless technology, you should make sure that it is
secure so that others cannot access your network.
