A hands-on training course concentrating solely on WiFi security with an emphasis on the delegates learning the necessary knowledge and skills to pass the CWSP exam. The course progresses from simple authentication, encryption and key management onto in depth coverage of 802.X and EAP along with many other security solutions such as access control, intrusion prevention and secure roaming.
There are no formal prerequisite courses, just a good knowledge of how Wi-Fi works.
A good suggested course would be Certified Wireless Network Administrator
By the end of the course delegates will be able to: Demonstrate the threats to WiFi networks. Secure WiFi networks. Configure: WPA2 RADIUS 802.1x EAP Pass the CWSP exam.
