Episode 63: Wireless Network Security (WEP, WPA2/3, 802.1X)

Wireless networks present a unique set of vulnerabilities due to their reliance on open air transmission. In this episode, we examine wireless security protocols and controls, including WEP, WPA2, WPA3, and 802.1X. We explain how authentication frameworks, encryption standards, and access controls protect against threats like rogue access points, packet sniffing, and brute-force attacks. You’ll also learn about secure SSID broadcasting, segmentation, and signal isolation. Securing wireless environments is a critical task for CISSPs, especially as more enterprise traffic shifts to mobile and remote connections.
