NIST SP 800-48 Guide to Securing Legacy IEEE 802. 11 Wireless Networks by National Institute National Institute of Standards and Technology Pdf

NIST SP 800-48 Revision 1 July 2008 Printed in COLOR Wireless local area networks (WLAN) are groups of wireless networking nodes within a limited geographic area, such as an office building or building campus, that are capable of radio communication. WLANs are usually implemented as extensions to existing wired local area networks (LAN) to provide enhanced user mobility and network access. The most widely implemented WLAN technologies are based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and its amendments. This document discusses the security of legacy IEEE 802.11 technologies-those that are not capable of using the IEEE 802.11i security standard. Why buy a book you can download for free? First you gotta find it and make sure it''s the latest version (not always easy). Then you gotta print it using a network printer you share with 100 other people - and its outta paper - and the toner is low (take out the toner cartridge, shake it, then put it back). If it''s just 10 pages, no problem, but if it''s a 250-page book, you will need to punch 3 holes in all those pages and put it in a 3-ring binder. Takes at least an hour. An engineer that''s paid $75 an hour has to do this himself (who has assistant''s anymore?). If you are paid more than $10 an hour and use an ink jet printer, buying this book will save you money. It''s much more cost-effective to just order the latest version from Amazon.com This book is published by 4th Watch Books and includes copyright material.

Information Security: Federal Agencies Have Taken Steps to Secure Wireless Networks, but Further Actions Can Mitigate Risk by Gregory C. Wilshusen Pdf

Over the past several years, federal agencies have rapidly adopted the use of wireless networks (WN) for their info. systems. This report: (1) identifies leading practices and state-of-the-art technologies for deploying and monitoring secure WN; and (2) assesses agency efforts to secure WN, incl. their vulnerability to attack. To do so, the auditor reviewed publications and interviewed experts in wireless security. He also interviewed agency officials on wireless security at 24 major federal agencies and conducted additional testing at 5 agencies. This report identifies a range of leading security practices for deploying and monitoring secure WN and technologies that can help secure these networks. Illus. This is a print on demand report.

Information Security by Matthew Scholl Pdf

Some fed. agencies, in addition to being subject to the Fed. Information Security Mgmt. Act of 2002, are also subject to similar requirements of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) Security Rule. The HIPAA Security Rule specifically focuses on the safeguarding of electronic protected health information (EPHI). The EPHI that a covered entity creates, receives, maintains, or transmits must be protected against reasonably anticipated threats, hazards, and impermissible uses and/or disclosures. This publication discusses security considerations and resources that may provide value when implementing the requirements of the HIPAA Security Rule. Illustrations.

Technical Guide to Information Security Testing and Assessment by Karen Scarfone Pdf

An info. security assessment (ISA) is the process of determining how effectively an entity being assessed (e.g., host, system, network, procedure, person) meets specific security objectives. This is a guide to the basic tech. aspects of conducting ISA. It presents tech. testing and examination methods and techniques that an org. might use as part of an ISA, and offers insights to assessors on their execution and the potential impact they may have on systems and networks. For an ISA to be successful, elements beyond the execution of testing and examination must support the tech. process. Suggestions for these activities ¿ including a robust planning process, root cause analysis, and tailored reporting ¿ are also presented in this guide. Illus.
