Wireless and Mobility Threats, Detection and Protection

Assurance Pty Ltd
Date: Tuesday 12 July 2011
Time: 9.00am - 5.00pm

A major challenge of securing wireless technology is understanding how these technologies work. Other challenges include detecting and physically locating the radio frequency emission sources of rogue wireless technology and applying effective controls for wireless and other mobility solutions to prevent unauthorised access or other abuse.

This course will address those challenges.

The training session shares the experience Assurance has gained over many years of conducting wireless service and mobility solution security audit, design and training in critical infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics and education enterprises. This training provides both the knowledge and basic equipment for attendees to understand and undertake threat reduction for wireless services. 

Focus: Training security professionals in technology, threats, effective architecture and auditing.

This one day training session will equip attendees with an understanding of conventional wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth™ and enterprise mobility solutions, threats to the operation of these services and how to defend and provision secure services. The training focuses on:

  • Understanding wireless and mobility solution theory
  • Understand wireless and mobility technology, best practice and the unfortunate reality
  • Understanding “real world” threats and controls

The tutorial will be conducted as a “hands on” tutorial. Consumer-grade and Enterprise-grade wireless and mobility solutions will be utilised in a lab-based training environment to permit attendees to gain “real world” experience in learning about wireless and mobility threats and mitigation using controls and technology architecture.

Assurance hands-on training has attendees use their own Intel-based (or compatible) notebook or netbook PC. Past experience has shown that this ensures that post-training the attendee can replicate the activities conducted during the training course using their own equipment.
