First Wednesday Webcast: "Migrating from WEP to WPA2"
Wednesday, January 04 at 1:00 PM EST (1800 UTC/GMT)
Featuring: Joshua Wright & Bryan Wargo
https://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90559
Sponsored by Airwave

The WPA and WPA2 specifications provide a mechanism for organizations
to protect the confidentiality and integrity of wireless networks.
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.
