Bluetooth Wireless Featuring: Joshua Wright Wednesday, May 5, 2004 1:00pm EDT (1700 UTC) http://www.sans.org/webcasts/show.php?webcastid=90473 It seems there is no shortage of security concerns for wireless technology these days. While many of us have become keenly aware of the risks associated with 802.11 wireless networking, few organizations have considered the risks of Bluetooth wireless technology. Many reports cite that the number of Bluetooth-enabled devices has surpassed the number of 802.11 wireless devices! In this webcast, wireless security expert Joshua Wright will introduce the main components of the Bluetooth protocol while covering the top 7 security challenges of this growing technology, along with strategies on protecting organizations from Bluetooth attacks. Joshua Wright has consulted with Fortune 500 companies, federal agencies and educational institutions on issues relating to wireless security, vulnerability assessment, penetration tests, router security and secure network design. He regularly presents at conferences on issues relating to wireless security, and is currently working with several wireless LAN vendors on how attackers exploit weaknesses in wireless networks and associated protocols. Joshua currently serves as the deputy directory of training for the SANS Institute and is the author of several papers on wireless security and intrusion analysis. He is also the co-author of "Securing Cisco Routers: Step-by-Step".
