Security beyond the fi

Office Building at Night

Security is much more than protecting the wireless frames over the air. We must also protect the infrastructure side, have proper segmentation, and ensure the right role based access. In this episode we speak with Chris Hinsz about security beyond Wi-Fi.

Securing wireless is much more than encryption. We have WPA2, upcoming WPA3 and OWE. But that’s done over the air and with 802.1X.

It goes beyond and into worrying over insecure IoT devices, stolen credentials, compromised employee devices, and more. These are all real security threats which have nothing to do with over-the-air encryption.

In this episode we talk about these security concerns and the pieces needed to secure wireless further:

  • Zero Trust Model
  • Strong segmentation
  • Multi-factor authentication
  • Indication of compromise
  • IoT Visibility
