Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to mitigate security threats to a wireless local area network (WLAN) by implementing security standards and policies.It applies to individuals with advanced information and communications technology (ICT) skills who are working as wireless help desk support technicians, wireless network support specialists and wireless network engineers.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan to implement wireless network security
  • 1.1 Research and evaluate organisational and regulatory security policies that have been used to benchmark acceptable network security standards
  • 1.2 Assess customer requirements and needs against regulatory security compliance and work health and safety (WHS) considerations
  • 1.3 Produce a plan with security solution documentation for future growth and security needs
2. Design, implement and test guest access services
  • 2.1 Analyse and select the appropriate architecture for guest access services
  • 2.2 Produce a map and set up guest access accounts
  • 2.3 Configure WLAN controller authorisation
  • 2.4 Configure the anchor and internal controllers
  • 2.5 Troubleshoot guest access issues
3. Design, implement and test the security of wireless client devices
  • 3.1 Design and configure authentication of clients and management frame protection on clients and controllers
  • 3.2 Configure access control servers for integration with wireless network
  • 3.3 Configure client- and server-side digital certificate services
  • 3.4 Troubleshoot secure wireless connectivity services
4. Design, implement and test the integration of wireless network with organisational network admission control systems
  • 4.1 Analyse network admission control architectures to assess the feasibility of network integration
  • 4.2 Analyse the high-level authentication process flow to ensure compatible integration
  • 4.3 Configure and test the wireless controller for admission control
  • 4.4 Troubleshoot integration issues of network with access control
5. Evaluate and plan secure wireless connectivity services
  • 5.1 Configure the intrusion detection system (IDS) to monitor the network activities for malicious activities or policy violations
  • 5.2 Analyse the report produced by the IDS to review threat-mitigation strategies
  • 5.3 Update security solution plan to mitigate wireless vulnerabilities to ensure network integrity
6. Manage the requirements to integrate the WLAN with advanced security platforms
  • 6.1 Evaluate end-to-end security solutions and assess how they integrate with the planned wireless solutions
  • 6.2 Analyse the firewall configuration requirements of WLANs to ensure compliance with organisational policies
  • 6.3 Configure and test the WLAN controllers for wired and wireless intrusion prevention and detection system (IPDS) security protection
