Training CWNP

Training goals

code: CWNP-CWSP | version: CWSP-207

The Certified Wireless Security Professional (CWSP) is a WLAN subject matter expert (SME) who can assist in the creation and implementation of an organization’s enforceable security policy by following applicable regulations, standards, and accepted best practices. This SME can identify and mitigate threats to a wireless network. A CWSP can effectively use appropriate tools and procedures to ensure the ongoing security of the network.

Main areas covered by CWSP:

  • WLAN Discovery Techniques
  • Intrusion and Attack Techniques
  • 802.11 Protocol Analysis
  • Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS) Implementation
  • Layer 2 and 3 VPNs used over 802.11 networks
  • Enterprise/SMB/SOHO/Public-Network Security design models
  • Managed Endpoint Security Systems802.11 Authentication and Key

When you pass the CWSP exam and hold a valid CWNA certification, you earn the CWSP certification and credits towards the CWNE certification should you choose to pursue it.

Each participant in an authorized CWNP CWSP training held in Compendium CE will receive a free CWSP-207 Certified Wireless Security Professional Exam voucher.
