Certified Wireless Security Professional Class

This course targets experienced networking professionals who wish to gain critical skills in wireless networking security, including how hackers attack networks and the means for preventing them from doing so. With the burgeoning growth of wireless LAN installations, all IT professionals must become knowledgeable about security, and wireless security in particular. LAN Security, the preparation course for the CWSPª certification, teaches students the necessary skills for implementing and managing wireless security in the enterprise by creating layer2 and layer3 hardware and software solutions with tools from industry leading manufacturers.


Class Duration: The class consists of 40 hours of hands on learning using the latest enterprise wireless LAN security and auditing equipment. This class addresses in detail Wireless LAN Intrusion, Security Policy, and Security Solutions.
