Wireless is the new normal for the world now. With the current advancements in wifi technology, the majority of us have left wires and cables in the past, and we solely rely on waves and signals to remain connected. However, can the same improvement be shown for Wifi security? Most of our wireless connections are protected by security protocols that were introduced in 2004 or earlier, which is 15-year-old technology. And unfortunately, many wireless routers being manufactured today are still backwards compatible with WEP, a security protocol introduced in 1999 and seriously susceptible to cyber hacks. So it seems in an era of rapid advancement and releases of newer technology, wifi security is lagging behind.

Customer churn rate, also simply known as churn, refers to the percentage of your customers that leave your service over a given period. The churn rate is also linked to another rate known as the retention rate: the percentage of customers who continue to purchase a given product from any given brand in a specific time frame. The two values are inversely proportional: the higher the retention rate, the lower the churn rate and vice versa. If customer loyalty rises, the number of customers who switch to other brands' competitors is bound to decrease.
