802.11 Security: Defending the New Network Edge Live Online Meeting

Join Blue Socket and Colubris Networks on Thursday, August 26, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. ET for this live online meeting.

There’s no question that wireless LAN is getting more secure. The newly ratified 802.11i specification is going a long way towards answering the security concerns that have held back the adoption of 802.11 in the enterprise.

But the implemention of new standards doesn’t mean IT managers can rest easy: As wireless LAN networks spread throughout the corporate world, new threats and security challenges are arising, including viruses that can use a WLAN network as a backdoor into the wider corporate infrastructure. IT managers need to develop standards-based security policies that are flexible enough to meet ever-evolving threats on networks that can often be accessed by both known corporate users and public “guests.”

This special live online meeting will offer a comprehensive overview of the new security issues and solutions in a post-802.11i world.

You will learn:

1. Defending against wireless viruses and worms
2. Securing new network applications such as voice-over-WLAN
3. Securely incorporating smaller, less intelligent devices on a network
4. Defending mixed-use networks
5. Securing multiple service types across 802.11 networks
6. How 802.11i can protect users
7. How to predict new attacks and how to stop them
