Certified Wireless Security Professional - CWSP

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.

Do you know how to assess the vulnerability of a network and help prevent attacks before they happen? Do you know how to perform WLAN security audits and implement compliance monitoring solutions? Do you have experience setting up Wireless Intrusion Prevention Systems (WIPS)?

Today’s wireless network security professionals need to have a deep understanding of the latest software, tools, trends and technologies available. Security professionals are often counted on to advise on security policies (i.e. password and acceptable use). Plus, these experts are responsible for configuring an entire network’s Security Design and Architecture.
