IT Industry's first wireless LAN security certification now available from Planet3 Wireless

CWSP study guide now available

ATLANTA, April 15, 2003 - Planet3 Wireless, Inc., the creators of the CWNP® Program, have announced the official launch of the CWSP certification, the IT industry's first vendor neutral wireless LAN security certification, and the CWSP Official Study Guide

Planet3 Wireless, Inc. co-founder and CEO, Kevin Sandlin, says, "CWNA was the first vendor neutral wireless LAN certification, and now CWSP is the first wireless LAN security certification. We've been offering CWSP training since January. Everyone who has taken this class has been blown away by what they did not know about how wireless LANs can be compromised as well as how wireless LANs can be secured. These same people, and the rest of the CWNAs around the world, will not be disappointed when they take a CWSP class, study the CWSP Study Guide, and take the CWSP exam. They will be thoroughly challenged, and this certification will mean something to those who earn it and those who require it." The CWSP exam (PW0-200) will be available at all Prometric Authorized Testing Centers worldwide for $175 on April 24.

The CWSP certification is the second level of certification within the CWNP program, created by Planet3 in 2001. Earning the CWSP certification will prove that an IT professional truly understands the methods that are used to compromise today's wireless LANs, and how to defend against these attacks using the very latest layer 2 and layer 3 hardware and software solutions available.

The CWSP Official Study Guide, ISBN 0-07-223012-6 distributed by McGraw-Hill/Osborne Media, is now available at cwnp.com and will be in retail stores in May. The CWSP Official Study Guide covers wireless LAN intrusion, policy, and solutions including Kerberos, RADIUS, 802.1x/EAP, Wireless VPNs, Enterprise Wireless Gateways, PPTP, IPSec, 802.11i and WPA. The CWSP Official Study Guide, along with significant hands-on networking experience will help prepare IT professionals for the CWSP certification exam.
