(0:49) Defining Wireless First for Speed and Accessibility “When I hear "wireless first," I immediately think of speed and accessibility. If someone prioritizes a wireless-first approach, it means they must deliver a fast and efficient solution.”
(1:24) Securing and Protecting High- Stakes Wireless Connections “The biggest question for me is what data you plan to transmit, as different types of data require varying levels of security. In our case, we must invest in ensuring that security measures are properly implemented for wireless connections.”
(0:49) Protocols for Wireless Security for Wireless First World “My real concern isn't the method someone uses to access my data, but whether they can access it at all. With a secure network, whether they attempt entry through wired or wireless means is simply a potential access point. Therefore, we need the right tools to secure those entry points effectively.”
