CWSP - Certified Wireless Security Professional
Wireless security training is critical for today's wireless LANs. As wireless LANs explode in popularity and implementation, so does the need for securing these networks. Wireless security, and the lack thereof, is a daily headline in IT news. Security for wireless solutions cannot come from a single software protocol or hardware solution, but from educated wireless networking professionals implementing multiple safeguards.
The Certified Wireless Security Professional™ (CWSP™) certification builds on the foundation of wireless LAN knowledge from the CWNA certification by educating the candidate about the security threats to and weaknesses of wireless LANs. The main topics of this course and the certification exam are hardware, software, protocols, procedures, and design techniques used in reducing wireless LAN security risks. Wireless Security Certification & Training is an essential step in developing your expertise in wireless technologies.
