C)WSE: Wireless Security Engineer

A Wireless Security Engineer designs, implements, and maintains secure wireless networks. They assess security risks and vulnerabilities, configure security solutions, and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data transmitted over wireless networks.

This includes implementing security protocols such as WPA2,802.1X, and others, monitoring network activity for security threats, and responding to security incidents. They also stay up to date with emerging security trends and technologies to continuously improve the security posture of their organization's wireless network.
