This comprehensive wireless network book addresses the operational and day-to-day security management requirements of 21st century companies. Wireless networks can easily be reconfigured, are very mobile, allow for potentially nonstop exposure, and require the level of security be scrutinized even more than for wired networks. This includes inherent security flaws in various wireless architectures that result in additional risks to otherwise secure converged wired networks. An even worse scenario is one where an insecure wireless network is connected to a weakly secured or insecure wired network and the wireless subnet is not separated from the wired subnet. There are approximately a dozen popular books that cover components of the architecture, design, theory, issues, challenges, and recommended policies for wireless security, none of which address them in a practical, operationally-oriented and comprehensive way. Wireless Operational Security bridges this gap.*Presents a new "WISDOM" model for Wireless Security Infrastructures*Acts as a critical guide to implementing "Converged Networks" wired/wireless with all necessary security considerations*Rittinghouse's Cybersecurity Operations Handbook is the only security book recommended by the FCC

Protecting People, Facilities and InformationA Six Step Resource Guide for Counterintelligence and Operational Security PlanningEconomic, political and technological transformations of the past decade have significantly expanded the scope of intelligence threats faced by the U.S. government, business and industry. The expansion of multinational operations, digital information systems, wireless communication and web-based business practices all present new opportunities for exploitation by adaptive antagonists who need not step foot on U.S. soil to exploit security vulnerabilities and gather information. In short, our enemies have become savvier, hard to detect and even harder to deter. Consider the facts: Over 100 countries, led by China, Russia and India, are known to be actively involved in intelligence collection efforts against the United States. Intellectual property theft costs American corporations $250 billion a year. Theft of intellectual property and trade secrets costs 750,000 U.S. jobs a year. The estimated financial impact of individual cases of economic espionage range from less than $10,000 to more than $5.5 million per incident, totaling billions in losses to the U.S. economy each year. As the threat increases so does the need for all government, business and industry leaders to possess a basic knowledge of counterintelligence practice and operational security - and that is what this handbook is all about. Its goal is to assist managers at all levels in government and the corporate world in understanding the nature of the threat, increasing organizational awareness, and implementing effective protective strategies and countermeasures. This is a comprehensive, up-to-date reference which provides a logical introduction to the field of counterintelligence and operational security. It introduces a simple to follow six-step process for developing an organizational counterintelligence and operational security strategy. The intelligence community warns that the threat continues to increase and that no one is safe. Government agencies are attacked on a daily basis and businesses large and small are being targeted. This handbook is a must read for all managers to learn how to protect their organizations and safeguard their staff, products, services-and the nation.

A major, comprehensive professional text/reference for designing and maintaining security and reliability. From basic concepts to designing principles to deployment, all critical concepts and phases are clearly explained and presented. Includes coverage of wireless security testing techniques and prevention techniques for intrusion (attacks). An essential resource for wireless network administrators and developers.

Focusing on wireless LANs in general and 802.11-based networks in particular, Potter (VeriSign) and Fleck (Secure Software) outline strategies and implementations for deploying a secure wireless network. They explain how the 802.11 protocols work and how an attacker will attempt to exploit weak spots within a network, and suggest methods for locking down a wireless client machine and securely configuring a wireless access point.

Receive comprehensive instruction on the fundamentals of wireless security from three leading international voices in the field Security in Wireless Communication Networksdelivers a thorough grounding in wireless communication security. The distinguished authors pay particular attention to wireless specific issues, like authentication protocols for various wireless communication networks,encryption algorithms and integrity schemes on radio channels, lessons learned from designing secure wireless systems and standardization for security in wireless systems. The book addresses how engineers, administrators, and others involved in the design and maintenance of wireless networks can achieve security while retaining the broadcast nature of the system, with all of its inherent harshness and interference. Readers will learn: A comprehensive introduction to the background of wireless communication network security, including a broad overview of wireless communication networks, security services, the mathematics crucial to the subject, and cryptographic techniques An exploration of wireless local area network security, including Bluetooth security, Wi-Fi security, and body area network security An examination of wide area wireless network security, including treatments of 2G, 3G, and 4G Discussions of future development in wireless security, including 5G, and vehicular ad-hoc network security Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students in programs related to wireless communication, Security in Wireless Communication Networks will also earn a place in the libraries of professors, researchers, scientists, engineers, industry managers, consultants, and members of government security agencies who seek to improve their understanding of wireless security protocols and practices.

Nichols and Lekkas uncover the threats and vunerablilities unique to the wireless communication, telecom, broadband, and satellite markets. They provide an overview of current commercial security solutions available on the open market.

Secure a wireless Local Area Network with guidance from Cisco Systems experts. Showing how to use tools such as security checklists, design templates, and other resources to ensure WLAN security, this book illustrates security basics, standards, and vulnerabilities, and provides examples of architecture, design, and best practices.

The practice of WarDriving is a unique combination of hobby, sociological research, and security assessment. The act of driving or walking through urban areas with a wireless-equipped laptop to map both protected and un-protected wireless networks has sparked intense debate amongst lawmakers, security professionals, and the telecommunications industry. This first ever book on WarDriving is written from the inside perspective of those who have created the tools that make WarDriving possible and those who gather, analyze, and maintain data on all secured and open wireless access points in very major, metropolitan area worldwide. These insiders also provide the information to secure your wireless network before it is exploited by criminal hackers.* Provides the essential information needed to protect and secure wireless networks* Written from the inside perspective of those who have created the tools for WarDriving and those who gather, maintain and analyse data on wireless networks* This is the first book to deal with the hot topic of WarDriving

"This book examines the current scope of theoretical and practical applications on the security of mobile and wireless communications, covering fundamental concepts of current issues, challenges, and solutions in wireless and mobile networks"--Provided by publisher.

This book discusses fundamental security issues in wireless sensor networks, techniques for the protection of such networks, as well as results from recent studies in wireless sensor network security. It contains example applications for target tracking, scientific exploration and data acquisition in hazardous environments, and includes a fairly new study on capabilities of mu-TESLA, a broadcast authentication technique for wireless sensor networks. The book assists both professionals and students to understand background knowledge in wireless sensor network security and prepare them for producing research in this domain.
