Wireless and Mobile Security

Wi-Fi attacks and defences, mobile app risks and MDM basics.

Taught by Kiran Basnet · Security Engineer

What you'll learn

  • Describe the wireless and mobile attack surface every organisation now exposes
  • Compare WEP, WPA2, and WPA3 and choose the right mode for a network
  • Recognise evil twin, rogue access point, and deauthentication attacks
  • Harden enterprise Wi-Fi with 802.1X, RADIUS, and certificate authentication
  • Apply the OWASP Mobile Top 10 to assess a mobile application's risks
  • Set a practical MDM and BYOD policy that balances security and usability

About this course

Every organisation now runs on Wi-Fi and phones, which makes wireless and mobile security everyone's problem. This intermediate course is for security analysts, network engineers, and IT administrators who want to secure the airwaves and the devices that connect to them. You will learn how Wi-Fi encryption evolved from WEP to WPA3, how evil twin and rogue access point attacks actually work, and how to harden enterprise networks with 802.1X and RADIUS. On the mobile side you will apply the OWASP Mobile Top 10, examine insecure data storage and weak transport, and set a workable MDM and BYOD policy. Basic networking and command-line comfort help. All techniques are taught for defence and authorised testing only, on networks and devices you own or have written permission to assess.

  1. 1The Wireless and Mobile Attack SurfaceWhy the airwaves and the phones in every pocket widened the perimeter you must defend.Preview
  2. 2Wi-Fi Security: From WEP to WPA3How Wi-Fi encryption evolved, why old modes fail, and which to deploy today.
  3. 3Wireless Attacks: Evil Twins and Rogue APsHow impersonation and denial attacks on Wi-Fi work, so you can detect and defend against them.
  4. 4Hardening Enterprise Wi-Fi with 802.1XPer-user authentication with 802.1X, RADIUS, and certificates instead of a shared passphrase.
  5. 5The Mobile Threat Model and OWASP Mobile Top 10How mobile apps get attacked and a structured checklist for assessing their risks.
  6. 6Mobile App Security in PracticeInsecure storage, weak transport, and reverse engineering, plus the defences that hold up.
  7. 7MDM, MAM, and BYOD PolicyManaging devices and apps and writing a BYOD policy that people will actually follow.
