802.11 Security: Defending the New Network Edge Live Online Meeting

Join Blue Socket and Colubris Networks on Thursday, August 26, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. ET for this live online meeting.

There’s no question that wireless LAN is getting more secure. The newly ratified 802.11i specification is going a long way towards answering the security concerns that have held back the adoption of 802.11 in the enterprise.

But the implemention of new standards doesn’t mean IT managers can rest easy: As wireless LAN networks spread throughout the corporate world, new threats and security challenges are arising, including viruses that can use a WLAN network as a backdoor into the wider corporate infrastructure. IT managers need to develop standards-based security policies that are flexible enough to meet ever-evolving threats on networks that can often be accessed by both known corporate users and public “guests.”

This special live online meeting will offer a comprehensive overview of the new security issues and solutions in a post-802.11i world.

You will learn:

1. Defending against wireless viruses and worms
2. Securing new network applications such as voice-over-WLAN
3. Securely incorporating smaller, less intelligent devices on a network
4. Defending mixed-use networks
5. Securing multiple service types across 802.11 networks
6. How 802.11i can protect users
7. How to predict new attacks and how to stop them

Fiber to the Premises: Closing the Capacity Loop Live Online Meeting

Join Heavy Reading, Alcatel, Cisco, Entrisphere, and World Wide Packets on Wednesday, August 25, 2004 at 2:00 p.m. ET for this live online meeting.

The access network has never been more critical to the future of telcos worldwide, and many are choosing to transform their last mile with fiber, building a "future proof" access infrastructure capable of supporting any service imaginable. Fiber to the premises (FTTP) has generated tremendous press over the past year, but has yet to generate tremendous fortunes.

This is a market that has long been set to explode, but has been held back by uncertain regulations, immature technology, competition from DSL, and uneven market demand. Times have changed, and in 2004 FTTP solutions have matured to the point that the largest telcos are making long-term commitments that total in the billions of dollars.

This live online meeting will look at the forces that have come together in 2004 to create a vibrant market for FTTP, including international standards, low-cost equipment, intense competition in the local loop and demand from customers for a complete Triple Play offering of voice, data and video.
