A Day in the Life of a WLAN Pro - Challenges of Deploying HUGE! K-12 Networks

In the past, cybersecurity and network operations teams typically functioned in isolated silos within organizations, often leading to limited communication and interaction between them. This organizational structure often resulted in a lack of understanding between the two teams, as they focused on their specific domains without fully grasping the challenges faced by the other. As a consequence, cybersecurity initiatives might have been viewed as restrictive and obstructive by network operations, while network changes or configurations might have unknowingly introduced security vulnerabilities. In this webinar we will discuss why there is the need for convergence of Cybersecurity and Network Operations Teams and how it can be made possible.
 
1. Understanding the Need for Convergence
• Exploring the challenges faced by traditional cybersecurity and network operations silos.
• Highlighting the evolving threat landscape and its impact on network security.
• Discussing the benefits of integrating both teams for enhanced security and operational efficiency.

2. Building a Collaborative Culture
• Overcoming cultural barriers between cybersecurity and network operations teams.
• Promoting communication and fostering a collaborative mindset.
• Encouraging shared knowledge and skillsets for mutual growth.

3. Real-time Threat Intelligence and Incident Response
• Leveraging network operations data for real-time threat detection.
• Integrating cybersecurity insights into network monitoring and incident response.
• Case studies illustrating the effectiveness of collaborative incident handling.

4. Streamlining Operations and Resource Utilization
• Identifying areas of overlap and resource duplication.
• Streamlining tools and technologies for both teams.
• Maximizing cost savings and operational efficiency.

The Convergence of Cybersecurity and Network Operations Teams

Vulnerability Assessments are an important task to be performed periodically. In this webinar we will look at how the NetAlly CyberScope assists in collecting data for analysis.  We will dive into leveraging the CyberScope to perform scans against devices using the Nmap Scripting Engine, NSE, as well as performing advanced Discovery Scans, a new feature unique to the CyberScope device.
 
AGENDA:
 
* Quick intro to Nmap Scripting Engine, NSE
* Difference between vulnerability scripts and Discovery scripts
* Loading new scripts to the CyberScope
* Executing scripts as a “one off” test
* Executing scripts as part of AutoTest

In-Depth Vulnerability Assessment with CyberScope™

Interested in knowing why field analyzers are crucial for conducting cyber security assessments?
Visibility of interior threats in your site networks requires regular, proactive assessments. But what is the best methodology for ensuring success?

Attend this webinar and hear Dr. Avril Salter, wireless and security technologies industry expert discuss the key aspects of an effective cyber security assessment. The importance of organizations remaining vigilant to stay ahead of potential interior threats by regularly assessing their security readiness will also be an integral part of the conversation.

Cyber security assessments involve four important aspects:
• Evaluating an organization's preparedness against cyber-attacks
• Assessing how an organization is securing access to its network assets and protecting against cyber-attacks
• Inspecting a site’s clients, endpoints, network topology, segmentation, and services
• Allowing an organization to identify vulnerabilities that cybercriminals or other malicious actors could exploit

Dr. Salter will be highlighting how to identify potential security risks and the problem that most tools have in addressing the risk exposure and reducing the attack plane. 

Dr. Salter will be joined by James Kahkoska, NetAlly CTO, who will show live examples of how NetAlly’s CyberScopeTM accomplishes the objectives with short demonstrations.

Whether you are a cybersecurity professional, network engineer/technician, IT administrator, or just interested in learning more about network security, this webinar is for you. Join us to gain a deeper understanding of why field analyzers can be an essential part of your cyber security assessments and how this can strengthen your organization’s cybersecurity threat mitigation strategy.

The new CyberScope harnesses Nmap technology in a simplified user interface for complete site assessments – including endpoint discovery, segmentation testing, and vulnerability scanning.

Learn how to find answers to questions such as:
• What ports are open on which devices on my network? 
• What operating systems and versions are presently installed? 
• What vulnerabilities are currently exposing my network to future possible attacks? 
• How can I conduct these types of scans on my network? 
• What tools can help make Nmap easier to use? 
 
During this webinar, Chris Greer will give practical examples of how to use Nmap to scan networks, find open ports, and check for system vulnerabilities – AND how to use the NetAlly CyberScopeTM  for site security assessments. These capabilities are critical for network engineers, SOC Analysts, Threat Hunters, and other IT professionals alike. Chris will also provide practical tips and best practices for using Nmap in a variety of security scenarios and show how to make these tests portable and easy to run.

Network Analyst Panel: Becoming an expert network problem solver

With NetAlly tools, we can effectively capture the packets that matter when troubleshooting complex network problems. But how can we interpret them and find the root cause?  In this two-part series, we will explore how to capture packets with a NetAlly EtherScope nXG, then transfer the packet capture to Wireshark and start digging. 

Part 1 – Essentials of Packet Analysis with Wireshark and NetAlly Tools

The first session will cover capturing packets from an EtherScope® nXG or LinkRunner®, then transferring the file to Link-Live where it can be quickly accessed by engineers and opened in Wireshark. We will discuss how to get started with Wireshark and cover the first steps to take in any packet-level analysis workflow.

Wireshark + NetAlly “Essentials of Packet Analysis” Classes - Part 1

You just upgraded your network and installed the latest 8x8 Wi-Fi 6 access points. Still, for an unknown reason in some areas of the building, your brand-new Wi-Fi network is not performing as expected. Well, the root cause of the issue may not be related to your Wi-Fi network performance. The problem may be caused by underpowered access points.

Learn how Power over Ethernet (PoE) can affect your Wi-Fi network performance.

Common Wi-Fi Issues Caused by Wired Problems – Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Bluetooth is one of the most popular wireless technologies in the world and commonly used for indoor location services or IoT device connectivity. Still, there were no handheld solutions on the market that would allow you to perform Bluetooth location-based testing and analysis, until now!
