As security architects consider how to provide comprehensive threat protection for their enterprises, including intrusion prevention, web filtering, anti-malware and application control, they face a major complexity hurdle managing these point products with no integration and lack of visibility. Gartner estimates that by the end of 2019, 80% of enterprise traffic will be encrypted and 50% of attacks targeting enterprise will be hidden in encrypted traffic. Come explore real-world scenarios and learn how Next Generation Firewalls can leverage threat intelligence security services to protect and defend many of the most vulnerable threat vectors, including those that encrypt traffic. This session will focus on how to reduce complexity by integrating various vector specific point products into a NGFW with the capability to automate action and enhance visibility into applications, users and the network. Attend this technical training workshop and gain hands-on experience fortifying th

This highly interactive workshop, hosted by the NSF CC* funded Engineering and Performance Outreach Center (EPOC) [https://epoc.global] will present a process that can be adopted by Cyberinfrastructure (CI) facilitators to advance the mission of science engagement. Establishing a process to regularly review network requirements (http://www.es.net/science-engagement/science-requirements-reviews/) helps to determine the current and future science communication and collaboration needs for numerous communities. The purpose of these reviews is to accurately characterize the near-term, medium-term and long-term network requirements of the science being performed. This approach brings about a network-centric understanding of the science process used by the researchers and scientists, without asking technical questions directly, and derives network requirements from that understanding.
