About the CWSP
The CWSP® certification (Certified Wireless Security Professional®) indicates advanced knowledge of securing wireless LANs. CWSP builds on the foundation of wireless LAN knowledge from the CWNA certification by educating the candidate about the security threats to and weaknesses of wireless LANs. The main topics of this course and the certification exam are hardware, software, protocols, procedures, and design techniques used in reducing wireless LAN security risks. Wireless security certification and training is an essential step in developing your expertise in wireless technologies.

Wireless security training is critical for today's wireless LANs. As wireless LANs explode in popularity and implementation, so does the need for securing these networks.
