Secure WiFi Configuration

Have a general knowledge in IT operations and basic networking knowledge

The objectives of this course are to provide participants with the best practices in designing and implementing a secure WiFi network and equip them with the necessary skills and tools for evaluating the security of a WiFi network.

This course will introduce the participants to:

• Identify, analyse and assess technical and organisational cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
• Identify attack vectors, uncover, and demonstrate exploitation of technical cybersecurity vulnerabilities.
• Test systems and operations compliance with regulatory standards.

Students will learn how to:

• How wireless networks work.
• Best practices regarding WiFi configuration and usage.
• Important security settings for wireless access points and router.
• How to test the security of wireless networks.
• Understand different types and techniques used in attacking wireless networks and how to prevent these types of attacks.

Wireless Hotspots or access points are ubiquitous in our lives and professional activities. As our devices and systems are often automatically connected to these networks, it is crucial to ensure that they are securely configured.

The "Secure WiFi Configuration" course would provide participants with general security requirements regarding wireless network design and configuration. During this course, participants would be introduced to potential wireless network testing and monitoring tools.
