2028 Future State: Long Live the Firewall?”
Tuesday, Mar 05 | 01:00 p.m. – 01:50 p.m. | Moscone West 3001
The threat landscape has changed since the invention of the firewall 30 years ago, but not because threat actors or their motivations have changed; our networks and how we need to protect them have changed. Not only do we need to start developing tools that adapt to the threats of today, but we need to threat model in a more sophisticated way and ask more questions about what can go wrong.
Learning Objectives:
1: Understand what the firewall of 2028 will look like, and if it will even exist as we know it today.
2: Examine the commercial tools market to see what best adapts to shifts in attack tactics and surface.
3: Learn how to adapt threat modeling to accommodate the actual threat landscape.

Presentation on: Top 5 Security Concepts for WLAN Pros
by: Jennifer Minella, Carolina Advanced Digital
A dive into the key areas every Wi-Fi Pro and CWSP should know, plus a look at today’s emerging security advancements such as elliptic curve crypto (ECC) and how it impacts wireless. Topics cover both conceptual knowledge and real-world tips and tricks learned from scores of deployments in various environments, including deploying 802.1X, configuring RADIUS and EAP methods, PKI and certificates overview, security monitoring in Wi-Fi, and an obligatory but brief touchpoint on Wi-Fi 6’s security enhancements.
In our third shorter episode, we’ll take a vendor-neutral look at the Wi-Fi technology and trends shaping today and tomorrow. Join Shital and Jen for the latest trends in WiFi 6 (802.11ax), WiFi 6e, cloud-managed solutions, security integrations, CBRS, and more. We’ll talk about what’s real, what’s hype, and how to start planning for what’s on the horizon. Since it’s a shorter session we’ll try to manage Q&A throughout. Hosted by Jennifer Minella.
