*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.
