7:00 am - 5:00 pmRegistration Open
8:00 am - 8:45 amIPSec Security at the Wireless Edge
 

A recent Tolly Group study reveals that 60% of enterprises surveyed view WEP, the current WiFi security technology, to be incapable of securing their planned wireless LAN deployments. Further, a whopping 64% of respondents plan to use IPSec tunnels to secure wireless data. Why? Simply put, IPSec works. It authenticates and secures wireless traffic and seamlessly integrates into ubiquitous network security and management strategies, mitigating threats of intruders and war-drivers. Beardmore will briefly review this and other WLAN security approaches, and explain how IPSec-enabled access points (security at the edge) offer the best Security, Management, Performance, and Value options.

10:00 am - 10:50 amKeynote
Wireless: The Next E-Business Evolution
 

While most people associate wireless with the innovative gadgets on the market today, Norm Korey believes the greater wireless story is being written by companies that are "untethering" their organizations for dramatically strengthened customer service, streamlined operations and improved employee productivity. Where the Internet connected computers, wireless e-business is the connecting of computers as well as nontraditional computing devices, such as mobile phones, PDAs, Internet appliances and even products -- through wireless ID tags -- providing information where and when it's needed. This melding of computing and communication brings companies much closer to their customers, gives employees better input to manage schedules, and helps management easily make decisions and take action, anywhere, anytime. And in his work with organizations that are deploying wide-scale wireless networks for high-speed, high-volume wireless data transfer, IBM sees tremendous business value for entire organizations, their customers, suppliers, and shareholders.
