Wireless technology has become a major enabler for an increasingly mobile workforce and dynamic work environments. This technology creates opportunities for a variety of exploits including unauthorized access and message interception.

Its low cost and widespread availability also present the opportunity for employees and intruders to set up rogue access points that can undermine existing security safeguards in wired networks.

In this state-of-the-art CyberSecurity/CyberAudit workshop, you will sort out the often-confusing array of current and emerging wireless technology protocols and examine their operational and security implications.

You will get practical tips on how to best secure wireless applications and learn how to “wardrive” and audit wireless technology throughout your organization.
