Donald ‘Mac’ McCarthy:
Firewall Fundamentals and Network Segmentation with pfSense
Description:
This presentation will cover two fundamental steps in properly
securing networks.
Firewalls are one of the most basic and universal network and
security controls in a security engineer’s tool bag. We will cover
