Wireless Security XPert

Convenience and mobility are two key factors driving the growth for wireless technologies. The adoption of wireless network is on the rise, but the fact that it is wireless means that it's vulnerable to attacks. As more companies go through digital transformation, we will see an increased need for the security of wireless networks and devices. Wireless security focuses on the protection of wireless networks/devices from unauthorised access attempts and attacks.

Star Wireless Security Xpert (SWSX) is the most advanced certification course for professionals in the field of wireless network security. This certificate helps the learners acquire a fundamental understanding of how hackers target wireless networks, how to identify risks, design a pre-emptive plan of action to prevent malicious wireless attacks, and develop a more secure infrastructure around critical data and applications.

The SWSX certification focuses on securing the wireless networks, detailing all aspects of wireless security, encryption ciphers and methods, to 802.11 authentication methods, dynamic encryption and key generation, to SOHO 802.11 security, fast secure roaming, VPNS, further to wireless LAN security monitoring and auditing. This certification provides all the necessary practical knowledge of configuration of an entire wireless network’s security design and architecture and prepare candidates for a career as a successful wireless security expert.
