Wireless Security Audit and Hardening for a Telco's Public Wi-Fi
Overview
What this challenge is about.
Receive a sampled audit set: AP configurations for 80 sites (vendor mix, current encryption, EAP — Extensible Authentication Protocol — method, captive-portal config). Run analysis on RADIUS logs from the last 30 days for the sampled APs. Score each AP against a CIS-aligned wireless hardening rubric. Identify the top 5 systemic issues (likely: WPA2 still on 30 percent of APs, weak captive-portal TLS, EAP-PEAP with MS-CHAPv2 still allowed, no PMF — Protected Management Frames). Design a 12-month hardening rollout with a per-region sequence, customer-facing comms, and rollback criteria. Deliver: 14-page audit report, scoring sheet, 10-page hardening rollout plan, customer-comms templates.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Audit 80 public Wi-Fi access points and design a 12-month hardening rollout that closes systemic wireless-security issues without breaking customer onboarding.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Audit Wi-Fi configurations against a CIS-aligned wireless rubric
- Identify EAP-method weaknesses and PMF gaps systematically
- Sequence a rollout that respects vendor and region constraints
- Communicate a security migration to consumer customers without panic
