As the demand for wireless access has increased by the growth of mobile computing devices, a new generation of hackers who specialize in inventing and deploying new methods of hijacking wireless communications is visible. With this new era of enhanced mobility and greater network access, there is an increased need of security for business-critical wireless networks. During the Webcast, participants will learn about the various layers of security needed for successful and secure wireless deployments, including authentication, encryption and wireless monitoring. In addition, several customer case studies will be highlighted, emphasizing common mistakes and successful WLAN deployments.

In addition, AirDefense and Textron executives will discuss the latest tools used by hackers who attack these mobile devices and networks and why VPNs, encryption and authentication are not enough to secure a network because of the link between organized crime and wireless.
