Assessment Description
In this assignment, students will create a presentation on how the wireless network OSI model differs from a wired network, as well as address the various security risks associated with wireless Networks.
Directions: Based on the topic readings, create a slideshow presentation (using PowerPoint or a similar software) comparing how the wireless network OSI model differs from a wired network. Include:
- The differences between wired and wireless networks. How doses the OSI model differ at the physical and data link layers?
- Comparison of the security risk on a wireless network vs. a wired network.
- Description of the unique security and operational attributes in the wireless environment and their effects on network communications.
- Examination of the mitigation strategies and tools that can be implemented to lessen the security risks associated with wireless networks.
