Securing Wireless Networks and WANs

This workshop is intended for individuals who perform a security role. It validates participants’ ability to effectively demonstrate knowledge about securing the wireless networks and WANs. Participants will typically have understanding of specialized data classifications and data protection mechanisms; of data-encryption methods and mechanisms to implement them; understanding of security operations and risks. They’ll also gain a working knowledge of secure Internet protocols and mechanisms to implement them; security services and features of services to provide a secure production environment. Finally, participants will learn the ability to make tradeoff decisions with regard to cost, security, and deployment complexity given a set of application requirements.
