I firmly believe mobile devices are currently the biggest risk in enterprise security. Today I'm hosting a Q&A webinar with Ashely at Defendify on the BYOD Playbook. You can join the live conversation! Thurs, July 31st, 2pm Eastern defendify.wistia.com/live/events/...

I just recorded a special Packet Protector episode with guest co-hosts @subnetwork.bsky.social and @allybrown.bsky.social here at #MFD13. Analysis of what we saw from 7 vendors this week and talk all things mobility and network security, zero trust, secure by default, and (of course) AI.

I love this idea! Wi-Fi presets in #Ubiquiti - with popup explanations to guide a user to make smart decisions and start with a reasonable config. #MFD13 E.g., channel widths, DFS settings, etc.

That moment many customers have been waiting for - #Fortinet just announced several services as-a-service under the banner of FortiAI-Ops as-a-service which currently entails FortiGates including Wi-Fi control, FortiManager, FortiAnalyzer. #MFD13 Est. Sep timeframe for centralized experience.

Demo time- the impact of real-time video on Wi-Fi 7 devices *with* and *without* MLO. The MLO (multi-link operation) feature of Wi-Fi 7 allows devices to simultaneously send and receive data across multiple bands and channels. Demo introduces interference to test. #MFD13 #aristanetworks #wifi7

Bad cell coverage in your building? Check out Neutral Host- with private cellular you can use your (private) infrastructure and deliver carrier networks (e.g., T-Mobile, AT&T). Much better than Wi-Fi calling, DAS, picocell and the other flawed options to solve poor cell coverage. #MFD13 Celona.io

Here's a screenshot of configuring the SSID level for tunneling client traffic to a Campus Gateway on @cisco.com Meraki. #MFD13 #meraki #wifisecurity #networksecuity

Jennifer (JJ) Minella @jjx.therealjj.com · 07/05/2025

[2 of ?] With the MX firewalls doing Wi-Fi tunnel termination, it has high encryption overhead and a 1500 tunnel limitation. With 1 tunnel per SSID, per AP, that gets eaten up quickly. So this will help mucho. Uses VXLAN for encapsulation (optional crypto maybe coming). #MFD13 @cisco.com

110

Jennifer (JJ) Minella @jjx.therealjj.com · 07/05/2025

[1 of ? ] Ok this is cool. If you want to use Meraki @cisco.com solutions, and be able to tunnel client data (as I prefer to do), they're launching a new Campus Gateway option that scales far better than the original Meraki MR + MX architecture.

Jennifer (JJ) Minella @jjx.therealjj.com · 07/05/2025

Also for Wi-Fi 7 a common question is backwards compatibility for security. TL:DR WPA3 is required in 6GHz and to get Wi-Fi 7 features. @cisco.com #MFD13 Requires WPA3 security: ▶️ Use of 6GHz band ▶️ Use of 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) rates ▶️ Use of MLO

Jennifer (JJ) Minella @jjx.therealjj.com · 07/05/2025

One of the hot features of Wi-Fi 7 is multi-link operation (MLO), which allows devices to connect to multiple bands, simultaneously. It's designed to help with performance and reliability. There are several modes of operations and implementations. Here's a view from @cisco.com at #MFD13.

(4 of ?) GREAT info from Wes on tuning cipher suites for smooth roaming between Wi-Fi 6/6E and Wi-Fi 7 TL:DR go ahead and enable GCMP-256 (required for Wi-Fi 7) on your Wi-Fi 6/6E networks now. #MFD13 #JuniperNetworks

(3 of ?) - Great info on channel widths they're seeing - Wes has fantastic analysis of client roaming behaviour, from 5GHz->6GHz and 6GHz-6GHz... - This is just one of his many slides with juicy bits

(post 2 of ?) - About 50% of 6GHz capable APs have 6Ghz radio enabled - 6GHz client adoption 20-50% (BYOD other numbers) - Wi-Fi 7, 5-10% client adoption #MFD13 #junipernetworks #wifi #wifi6e #wifi7
