CR4200 - Wireless & Mobile Security

Mobile devices have jumped to the forefront of the corporate business world. With the current trends of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) and telecommuting, smart phones, tablets, and other mobile computing devices have become irreplaceable tools in the business environment. Students will investigate the evolution of wired and wireless networking and explore the mobile revolution that took users from clunky analog phones to smart devices that people, and organizations depend upon. Although most view the resulting changes as a net positive, both wireless and mobile networking have introduced significant security vulnerabilities to networking in general.
 
Students will analyze network security threats, considerations, and the implications of the always on, ever-present aspect of these devices, with a particular emphasis on wireless and mobile security. Using case studies and real-world applications and examples, the course will explore risk assessments, threats, and vulnerabilities of wireless networks, as well as the security procedures that should be put in place to mitigate breaches. Students will examine the strategies and procedures currently in place and look ahead at the future of wireless and mobile device security. Content will include basic security measures that satisfy the needs of small office/home office (SOHO) networks, as well as more advanced concepts in wireless security unique to the needs of larger organizations.
