Wi-Fi networks are seeing increased utilization and load across organizations in most
industries. High-density wireless networks are typically considered to be environments
where the number of client devices and required application throughput exceed the
available capacity of a traditional “coverage-oriented” Wi-Fi network design. In
these situations, even a well-designed wireless network that provides coverage at
good signal strength and SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) throughout the desired coverage
area is insufficient to ensure high performance due to inadequate capacity. The
limiting factor is available airtime. Since Wi-Fi relies on a shared and unbounded
medium (that is, the air), clients and access points must contend for available airtime
to transmit data.
This presentation outlines a set of simple principles that you can use as a basic guide
when designing your high-density network. This list of principles is not meant to be
comprehensive but rather a quick overview of the most important items to take into
account.

Information security has evolved from a tactical IT concern to a boardroom-level dilemma. This transition has challenged many executives who are now obligated to protect their organization’s critical assets. McAfee recently released Security Battleground: an Executive Field Manual to provide guidance to executives who find themselves shouldering oversight responsibility for information security.
Come join Charles Ross, McAfee's VP of North America Technical Operations, who helped write and design this book to provide practical advice for security-obligated executives with or without formal backgrounds in security processes or technologies.
Charles will give an overview on how Security Battleground provides ways in which executives can evaluate information security with a mix of examples, exercises, and lessons learned. The case studies and exercises are based on the authors’ extensive hands-on experience with security-obligated executives, chief information security officers (CISOs), and members of security teams.
We hope to see you there. Please be sure to RSVP. All attendees will receive a signed copy of the Security Battleground book.
Agenda
9:45am Arrival
10:00am Security Battleground overview
12:00pm Lunch & Book Signing
RSVP
Given the strategic vs. tactical focus of the presentation the intended audience is CIO’s and senior IT leaders. Please RSVP no later than Tuesday, January 22, 2013.
