This checklist from AvaLAN Networks can be used to assist an Engineer when conducting a wireless site survey. This article provides an overview of how to test wireless security for an enterprise, providing an understanding of wireless and the risks and vulnerabilities involved with its use. Follow these 10 steps today to make your network and business information safer. This Handbook provides a step-by-step guide to assessing a small manufacturer’s information systems against the security requirements in NIST SP 800-171 rev 1. The purpose of this publication is to provide procedures for assessing the CUI requirements in NIST Special Publication 800-171. Compliance with the security requirements is addressed in CUI guidance and the CUI Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or as supplemented by federal agencies (e.g., Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation). Organizations can use the assessment procedures to generate evidence to support the assertion that the security requirements have been satisfied. This SANS course is designed for professionals seeking a comprehensive technical ability to understand, analyze, and defend the various wireless technologies.
