WLAN Security Fundamentals

What Will You Learn?

• In this course, you will learn about one of the most often discussed topics relating to 802.11 wireless networks; Security. We will go through the legacy 802.11 security solutions as well as more robust solutions that are now defined by the 802.11-2007 standard. WLAN security had a bad reputation for many years - and deservedly so. The legacy security mechanisms originally defined by the IEEE did not provide the adequate user authentication and user authentication and data privacy that are needed in the mobility environment. Although there is no such thing as 100 percent security, properly installed and managed solutions do exist that can help fortify and protect your wireless network.
