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.
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.
