  • WLAN mobile endpoint security solutions
  • WPA/WPA2 Personal and Enterprise configurations
  • WLAN management and monitoring
  • IEEE 802.11 Authentication and Key Management (AKM)

 

Lab 1: WLAN Controller Security

  • Secure access to the WLAN controller using secure management protocols
  • Configure multiple WLAN profiles, each with its own authentication and cipher suites including WPA/WPA2 Personal and Enterprise
  • Configure the WLAN controller for RADIUS connectivity and authentication
  • Client station connectivity to the controller, including DHCP and browsing
  • Integrated rogue device discovery

Lab 2: Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS)

  • WIPS installation, licensing, add/configure sensors, and secure console connectivity
  • Configuration according to organizational policy
  • Properly classify authorized, unauthorized, and external/interfering access points
  • Identify and mitigate rogue devices
  • Identify specific attacks against the authorized WLAN infrastructure or client stations

Lab 3: Using Laptop Analyzers

  • Install and configure a WLAN discovery tool
  • Install, license, and configure a laptop protocol analyzer
  • Install, license, and configure a laptop spectrum analyzer
  • Locate and analyze 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLANs with a WLAN discovery tool
  • Locate and analyze 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz WLANs with a WLAN protocol analyzer
  • Capture and analyze a WPA2 Personal authentication in a WLAN protocol analyzer
  • Capture and analyze a WPA2 Enterprise authentication in a WLAN protocol analyzer
  • Capture and analyze Hotspot authentication and data traffic in a WLAN protocol analyzer
  • Capture and analyze beacons, probe requests, probe responses, and association requests with a WLAN protocol analyzer
  • View a normal RF environment, a busy RF environment, and an RF attack on the WLAN in a spectrum analyzer

Lab 4: Fast Secure Roaming

  • Configure a WLAN infrastructure with two controllers and two APs per controller
  • Configure APs for specific power and channel settings
  • Install and configure a RADIUS server for PEAP
  • Configure both controllers and an authorized client device for PEAP authentication using the CCMP cipher suite
  • Configure an 802.11 protocol analyzer to capture the BSS transition
  • Perform a slow BSS transition within a controller as a baseline
  • Enable FSR mechanisms within controllers and the client station
  • Perform a fast BSS transition within a controller as a comparison
  • Perform a slow BSS transition between controllers as a baseline
  • Perform a fast BSS transition (if vendor FSR mechanisms permit) between controllers as a comparison

Wireless professionals looking to gain cutting-edge wireless security expertise and earn the CWSP credential should attend.
