Wireless networks have emerged as an integral part of the network infrastructure of businesses, allowing higher efficiency and great mobility among employees. As the deployment costs of such networks fall, the proliferation of wireless networks will continue at an even faster pace. With this new era of enhanced mobility and greater network access, there is also an increasing need to secure these wireless LAN deployments, which are usually the weakest link in a corporation’s network. Hackers are armed with tools such as hunter_killer, LeapCrack, the Evil Twin phishing attack, and others that can compromise sensitive information on the organization’s network.

This complimentary webcast will explore the measures that businesses can take to secure their wireless LAN networks, and show how a layered approach to security is essential in ensuring risk-free deployments. Hear from WLAN security experts and practitioners to learn what real companies are doing to ensure the highest level of security on their networks. This webcast will draw upon actual case studies that will examine what works and what doesn’t when it comes to securing wireless LAN deployments.
