Presenting “Why Your NAC Projects Keep Failing: Addressing Products, People, Processes”
Wednesday, Apr 18 | 03:00 p.m. – 03:45 p.m. | Moscone South 207
A vendor-neutral look at resolving the three main pitfalls of NAC projects: products, people and processes. This session will look at architectures that dictate product success or failure in an environment and mapping to today’s products, followed by a look at the processes and people topics that can’t be ignored for successful NAC projects. Presented by a NAC SME based on 10+ years and hundreds of client projects.

Join us for the first of our Thursday Tech Talk series with the Carolina Advanced Digital crew. In this episode, we have a friend from Mist joining us to talk about returning safely to work with contact and proximity tracing inside the organization, how it’s different than the public-private app partnerships, and then we’ll hop over to a demo of Mist’s AI-based Wi-Fi, show you what’s going on in our office, and offer a sneak peek at some upcoming news.
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.
- 802.11ax/Wi-Fi 6, features and how/when to upgrade
- Update on wired needs for Wi-Fi
- New security standards, WPA3, Open Enhanced, and SAE

When it comes to securing an organization’s network infrastructure, there are so many questions to answer.
How secure is your Wi-Fi? How up to date is your security knowledge? Is my organization at risk?
Join Juniper Networks’ technical experts and Jennifer Minella, VP of Engineering & Security, at Carolina Advanced Digital, Inc. as they discuss security essentials every Wi-Fi engineer should know and unravel:
- What are the network security essentials every Wi-Fi pro should know?
- How can you prevent Wi-Fi network breaches?
- What are the Top 5 Wi-Fi attacks from pen testers?
We’ll also host a 15-minute panel between Jen and Juniper experts to discuss WPA3, the latest in Wi-Fi security.
- What is WPA3 and where is it today?
- When should I adopt WPA3 and what are the caveats?
You’re invited to join Carolina Advanced Digital and Zscaler for our “It Starts with Zero” webinar on Thursday. May 19 at 10:00am ET
Zero trust is based on the principle that no entity—user, device, or application—should be inherently trusted. Instead, access is granted using identity and business policy, and it changes based on context. By removing access and security from the constructs of the network, zero trust reduces complexity and increases security.
Join us for a discussion on the topics below:
- Modernizing your network to reduce technical debt and cut networking costs for internet-bound traffic
- Strengthening security posture by implementing a zero trust approach
- Empowering work from anywhere with a better user experience and more visibility
- Securely providing corporate access to any user on any device from any location
- Promoting alignment between IT objectives and business initiatives
