Managing WiFi Security Risks - A two-day hands-on training course

WiFi has become a mainstream technology offering great benefits and efficiencies but carrying with it unique security challenges. Unsecured WiFi provides an easy target for hit-and-run style attacks allowing hackers to cause severe damage while remaining invisible and undetected. In fact, recent incidents show a growing trend that unsecured WiFi is becoming a safe haven for cybercriminals. The crimes range from sending terror emails, downloading illegal content, to theft of credit card numbers and other private information. For corporate, this could lead to leakage of sensitive data, fines and other penalties, and brand erosion.

WiFi cyber-attacks can be used to hack into your network to steal confidential data, steal usernames and passwords, steal user identities or to plan terror attacks. Your WiFi network can become a huge liability if not secured properly.

To help you better secure your networks against these threats, AirTight Networks, the global leader in wireless security, is conducting a two-day detailed hands-on wireless security course titled “Managing WiFi Security Risks”.
