However, many organizations have yet to adopt WPA or WPA2, continuing to use WEP or other less-secure mechanisms to protect wireless LANs, despite the serious security flaws in these protocols. This webcast will examine techniques and tips for planning and completing an upgrade of your wireless network from WEP to WPA/WPA2. We'll examine some of the weaknesses known to plague WEP networks, examine the benefits of migrating to WPA/WPA2 and outline a planning strategy you can use to protect your organization from wireless attacks. Joshua Wright is the author of several papers on wireless security and intrusion analysis, and the co-author of Securing Cisco Routers: Step-by-Step, a book published by the SANS Institute. In a consulting role, he has worked with Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies, and educational institutions addressing issues related to wireless security, vulnerability assessment, and secure network design. He currently serves as the senior security researcher for Aruba Wireless Networks and is a senior instructor for the SANS Institute. ******************************************************************** In order to access the webcasts, you will need a SANS portal account and either Real Audio Player or Windows Media Player (free downloads are available at our website).
