This session focuses on design requirements and deployment considerations for a wireless Guest access solution. It discusses the main components of an end-to-end guest access solution including how to provide network access to visitors and route guest traffic across the network that is safe and secure. Attendees will be introduced to a detailed discussion on various guest access services available directly on the Wireless LAN controllers (WLC), management of Guest services using Cisco Prime, and integration with the Identity Services Engine (ISE) for various external web authentication services such as sponsored and self-service options. We will also discuss posture assessment and remediation policies for enhanced guest security with WLC and ISE. This session is especially useful for those attendees responsible for the Design Deployment Operations and Management of Enterprise Campus Wireless Networks.

This session will explore the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) megatrend and how it impacts wireless design both in terms of performance and also security. We will work through the best practices for capacity planning and efficient spectrum usage in these ever-increasing high density wireless scenarios; taking full-use of Radio Resource Management and flexible deployment options. The session will also look into the options available to securely allow BYOD access to the network and work through the most common device and user policy scenarios.

This session will focus on the advanced services that can be enabled through the Mobility Services Engine (MSE). It will detail the context-aware service, including it's tie in with CleanAir and analytics. It will also explore Wireless Intrusion Provention Services as well as emerging services offered by the MSE.

This session will help demystify the technology behind the Cisco TrustSec Network Access Control System. We will build use cases that will introduce, compare, and contrast different access control features and solutions. The technologies that will be covered include user and device authorisation, 802.1X, NAC, Identity Services Engine (ISE), Profiling Technology, Supplicants, certificates/PKI, Posture Assessment, CoA, RADIUS, EAP, Guest Access, Security Group Access (SGA), and 802.1AE (MacSec), and BYOD. This session is intended for Network, Security and Systems Administrators, Engineers, and Management, hat need to implement the next Generation Unified Access Network.

IT organisations are facing a challenge caused by the exponential growth of consumer devices that are brought inside the corporate networks. The spectrum of BYOD adoption varies greatly across businesses, from restricting consumer devices all the way to embracing the productivity gains by supporting enterprise applications across mobile devices. All spectrums of BYOD adoption require a comprehensive solution that ensures the security and reliability of the network while addressing the multiple challenges that the BYOD trend has created.

This session will provide you with expert advice about the technologies and architectures that are needed in order to allow the end users the freedom to bring their choice of device to work while still affording IT the controls to ensure security, network reliability and data loss prevention. Topics to be covered include secure unified access (wired, wireless and remote), policy, mobile device on boarding and management. A combination of lectures and live demos will provide you with the information needed in order to build an effective Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) solution.

This session focuses on the network security issues surrounding Layer 2, the data link layer. Because many network attacks originate inside the corporate firewall, exploring this soft underbelly of data networking is critical for any secure network design. Issues covered include Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) spoofing, MAC flooding, VLAN hopping, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) attacks, and Spanning Tree Protocol concerns. Common myths about Ethernet switch security are addressed and specific security lockdown recommendations are provided. Attack mitigation options presented include the new DHCP snooping and Dynamic ARP Inspection (DAI) functionality. Attendees can expect to learn Layer 2 design considerations from a security perspective and mitigation techniques for Layer 2 attacks. This session is for network designers, administrators, and engineers in all areas of data networking.

2011 and 2012 have been very busy years with the adoption of Cisco's TrustSec System, a comprehensive systems-approach to Network Access Control and Policy enforcement. This session will discuss the recommended deployment of TrustSec and Identity Services Engine (ISE) based on best-practices and lessons learned in the Field. At the end of this session, the attendee should have a strong understanding of how to deploy ISE with 802.1X for wired and wireless networks. We will examine the correct use of profiling probes to meet the needs of the policy, tips and tricks for successful staged roll-outs, Guest Services, and even Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy logic. Note: this session will not cover all possible options for deployment, only best-practices, tips and tricks with the current state of the solution. This is an advanced session that assumes prior knowledge of 802.1X and ISE design basics. This session is intended for a technical audience of Network or Security Administrators and Engineers.

This advanced session will cover the performance aspects of all Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) products as well as the Firewall Services Module (FWSM). A large portion of the presentation will be dedicated to a detailed architectural review of the hardware and software platform operation in order to identity the performance implications at each stage of the traffic path. Interoperability of the advanced firewall features and the network protocols will be discussed as well. Commonly seen performance bottlenecks will be identified and analysed. Various performance optimisation techniques and designs will be presented through theoretical analysis and practical examples. Familiarity with ASA and FWSM features and operation is required.

This technical seminar will cover all aspects of the Cisco Jabber Collaboration Solution from the Desktop Clients on Windows and Mac and Web browsers to the Mobile Clients on iPhone, Android smartphones and tablets.

The session will start with an overview of the clients and capabilities and then move into a detailed look at the overall architecture and how it applies to the different Jabber clients, through detailed infrastructure review, to all aspects of the collaboration back-end including functions like secure remote access.
