Securing Wireless Networks: Hands-On

 
Course: 420   Type: Hands-On Training   Duration: 4 Days
 
 

You Will Learn How To

  • Secure wireless networks against threats and attacks
  • Implement the WPA2 and 802.11i security standards to protect your Wi-Fi network
  • Encrypt wireless traffic using Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
  • Leverage 802.1X and EAP authentication within an enterprise WLAN
  • Build Wi-Fi auditing and accounting infrastructures
  • Deploy wireless intrusion detection systems (WIDS)

Course Benefits

As organizations provide greater mobility to their users, the risk of threats to security grows and the need for secure wireless networks becomes of paramount concern. In this course, you gain the skills to defend against attacks and maintain security within your wireless network. You learn to detect weakness in your existing network and design and configure a cost-effective security solution.

Who Should Attend

Anyone who manages, operates, audits or implements secure networks. Knowledge of wireless technology is helpful.

Hands-On Training

You gain extensive hands-on experience securing a wireless network. Exercises include:
  • Discovering and sniffing WLANs
  • Decoding and analyzing 802.11 frames
  • Cracking WEP and WPA2 PSK keys
  • Configuring WPA2 on APs and clients
  • Setting up 802.1X authentication
  • Installing and presenting digital certificates to RADIUS server
  • Comparing and contrasting EAP-TLS and PEAP
  • Roaming in a secure environment
  • Configuring a wireless IDS
