At the WLPC Conference in Phoenix a few weeks ago, I gave a short 30-minute talk on how and why to upgrade to WPA3 Security for business networks.

Click the image in the blog header to watch the video. 

In this (accidentally) slide-free session, I cover:

  • WPA3 security and when/why it’s required moving forward
  • Security benefits of Protected Management Frames (PMF) for identity integrity and, at times encryption
  • Impact of encrypted management frames on external 3rd party testing tools
  • Huge advances in security for passphrase-protected networks (WPA3-Personal with SAE)
  • How SAE (in WPA3-Personal) is superior to PSK (in WPA2-Personal)
  • Best practices for migrating to WPA3, and the challenges of Transition Mode for WPA3-Personal/Passphrase networks
  • Specifically, why you should add a WPA3-Personal Only network and migrate from WPA2-Personal (versus using Transition Mode)
  • Enhanced Open (with OWE) for encrypted unauthenticated (guest) networks
  • Impact of Zero Trust architectures on the future of Enhanced Open networks
  • The difference in increasing security and reducing risk, and why they’re different
