What Hackers Know That You Don't:  Wireless Edition
The Advent of Organized Crime & How to Fight it
Date: May 13, 2008 2:00 PM Eastern

Join executives from Textron and AirDefense for this 90-minute educational webcast to discuss the real-world approaches for ensuring bullet-proof security for business-critical wireless networks and compliance with regulatory and enterprise policies.

As new wireless standards are being adopted, the next generation of wireless security tools are being developed to combat ever-changing threats. Wireless deployments are moving from pilot, to production, to mission critical. However, the bad news is that more wireless devices means more hackers exploiting the vulnerabilities of wireless LANs. Wireless has become the new attack frontier. Tools that are currently being used to attack wireless networks include WEP cracking, exploitation of authenticated clients in 802.1x environments, interception of authentication credentials etc. New stealth tools are being designed to bypass many security measures making the attackers invisible to the network and its defenses. This makes most firewalls obsolete and leaves devices exposed, allowing attackers to send and manipulate data and exploit devices at will. These efforts are well organized, well financed and intensely motivated leading to a dangerous onset of organized crime. This is the “War of the Airwaves”.

Attend this complimentary webcast to understand the layers of security needed for a successful and secure wireless deployment, including authentication, encryption and wireless monitoring. Hear from WLAN security experts and practitioners who will discuss the technical and functional requirements of a true Intrusion Prevention System and how to protect the mobile workforce, irrespective of location. This webcast will draw upon actual enterprise case studies and new security methodologies that highlight common mistakes and successful WLAN deployments.
