*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 some basic
setup and rule creation with pfSense.
Network segmentation is critical for maximizing the effectiveness of
security controls. We will discuss some strategies for segmenting
networks, practical segmentation, segmentation challenges, and how to
best deploy network controls within network segments.
