Recent data thefts highlight the risk of insecurely deploying enterprise wireless networks. Up to now, the focus of corporate network teams has been to provide wireless connectivity and availability.
Today, however, the Wireless LAN has become a primary attack vector for cybercrimals. The TJX breach, and its estimated cost of more than $250 million to the retailer, attests to the certainty and extent of risk. As a result, wireless networks are becoming a significant point of exposure, and it is imperative that enterprises must focus attention on the security aspect of wireless networking.
Tactical steps include firewalling the wireless network, segmenting guest access from that of employees, monitoring the wireless network for attacks, eliminating rogue access points, and adopting strong wireless encryption. More strategically, organizations should treat wireless networks as "the new Internet," in that it is the preferred access point for hackers and data thieves. Risk assessments and network policy considerations should include specific considerations for wireless networking, and wireless security strategy should be coordinated with broader IT compliance initiatives.

Forrester's The Future Of Cloud report describes how cloud will become abstracted, intelligent, and composable. But that's not in the far-off future — it's right now. AI is changing the value proposition of cloud. Cloud-native technologies such as Kubernetes already provide a common abstraction layer that spans on-premises and edge computing as well as public cloud providers. Intelligence — the AI embedded within cloud services — provides higher levels of functionality for operators, incorporating infrastructure as code and other automation. All this is enabling cloud customers to begin composing their own clouds in various ways. In this webinar, we discuss why and how cloud customers can shape their own future.Key takeaways: Hear about the various ways in which cloud-native infrastructure is bringing new scale and capacity for innovation to enterprise-class IT.Learn how AI is rapidly reshaping cloud operations.Explore how organizations are composing their own clouds based on public cloud infrastructure through various means, including multicloud container platforms, cloud-based platforms for data, and enterprise apps as well as software as a service (SaaS).Target audience level: all levels
