If I knew then what I know now:
"Use secure applications, and leave networks to transfer packets freely. Standards, standards, standards."
Most bizarre breach of the wireless LAN:
"A person was spoofing MAC addresses on a permanent basis with one-digit increments. Our monitoring scripts detected it and spotted the access point. A longtime colleague and friend found the culprit, who was hiding in the campus library. The expression on his face when he was found was worth every moment of that chase. Turns out he was a computer science major testing a few of his inventions. No harm done."
Biggest myth about university WLAN security:
"It's an oxymoron."
To realize the benefits of cloud-native software, an application must actually be cloud-native—designed to run in the cloud, interacting with disaggregated cloud services, fully manageable as code—to deliver the expected benefits.

IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
