CERTIFIED WIRELESS SECURITY PROFESSIONAL
CWSP Course Outline
Overview
Wireless LAN Security, the preparation course for the CWSP(tm) certification, teaches students the necessary skills for implementing and managing wireless security in the enterprise by creating layer2 and layer3 hardware and software solutions with tools from industry leading manufacturers.
The course addresses in detail Wireless LAN Intrusion, Security Policy, and Security Solutions. All attendees receive hands-on experience configuring, testing, and implementing a broad variety of layer2 and layer3 wireless security solutions using hardware and software from the following vendors:
Audience
This course targets experienced networking professionals who wish to gain critical skills in wireless networking security, including how hackers attack networks and the means for preventing them from doing so. With the burgeoning growth of wireless LAN installations, all IT professionals must become knowledgeable about security, and wireless security in particular.
Duration
The Wireless LAN Security course with up to 45 hours of instructor-led study, incorporating both lecture and hands-on labs. The lab exercises consume more than 80% of the class time, providing thorough hands-on training for all attendees. The class is taught in a 5-day period.
Certification
This course may be used - and is the ideal track - for preparing students for the Certified Wireless Security Professional(tm) exam (exam # PW0-200), which is delivered at all Prometric Testing Centers worldwide. The CWSP certification is the first vendor neutral security certification that focuses solely on testing the IT professional's knowledge of securing enterprise wireless LAN solutions.
Prerequisites
The CWNA certification is recommended prior to attending the CWSP class. It is recommended that all students earn either the CWNA or CompTIA Security+ certification or have at least 12 months experience in a network security related field prior to enrolling in the course.
