What risks and safeguards are associated with wireless communication? 

Risks associated with wireless communications are:

Sniffing - the network can be monitored and data packets passing through it can be captured and read.

Piggybacking - this is when malicious data is added to your data while in transit.

Safeguards include:

Restrict access to your network. Only allow authorized users.

Avoid connecting to unsecured public wireless networks

Encrypt the data you are sending through the network

Protect you network name/Identifier (SSID). 

Connect using a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
