Course Name: Wireless LAN Security Training
   
Deployment Options: Onsite - Instructor-Led Training
   
Course Duration: 3-4 days depending on audience background and options.

Introduction:
 
The purpose of the course is to give you a full understanding of what wireless (802.11) networks are, how they work, how people find them and exploit them, and how they can be secured. This course is based on real world examples, solutions, and deployments. All material is developed and taught by individuals with extensive experience in wireless security research.
 
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 - wireless security in particular

System, network and security administrators. Individuals or organizations interested in new prevention, detection, or incident response technologies. University, government, or military
 
Customize it:
 
This 3-4-day course will be customized to your needs and specifications. Eno.com will assist you in identifying those needs and specifications. A word to the wise, there are many vendors of wireless training. They will typically have a broad and general course, one size fits all, already developed and just put your organization’s ame on the title slide. This minimizes their effort and time investment. At Eno.com, every course is made to your exact and exacting specifications. We help you ensure what you are getting is what you really need even if at the beginning you weren’t too sure of what that was. We fit the class to your needs. We never fit you into our “standard”, one size fits all, class.
