For decades, network and security professionals have adapted to technology change in a piecemeal fashion: a new rule here, an upgrade there, a new product deployment over yonder. On today's Packet Protector, co-host Jennifer 'JJ' Jabbusch makes the case for why several emerging technologies require IT pros to think about security at an architectural level.
She talks about substantial changes in Wi-Fi 7, such as WPA3 being required and support for new cipher suites; the rise of certificate-based identities; the complexities of zero trust; and the growing need to become quantum-ready.
This episode was recorded on premises at RSA Conference 2026, and was prompted by a presentation that JJ and her partner JD Davis gave at the conference.
