One of our clients has recently approached me with concerns about their new WiFi network that we were planning to put in. They were coming from a wired-only environment and were not sure if introducing EAP-TLS based corporate wireless was a good and safe idea. Additionally, while preparing for my CWAP exam I heard in …
