Wireless Security Architecture

CHAPTER 8Emergent Trends and Non-Wi-Fi Wireless

This chapter wraps up our content with a focus on some of the more fluid and transient aspects of wireless security.

Up until this point, the guidance and information in the book should persist for several years, with a few slight adjustments and evolutions here and there. Moving forward through this chapter, however, the content is less evergreen by design.

Instead of omitting emerging technologies that prove significant in wireless security, those topics that are more volatile are aggregated here, and presented with the caveat in large, flashing letters that everything you read moving forward is subject to change throughout the life of this book. Consider it a launching point for further investigation to update your knowledge.

This chapter's content is distilled down to two broad topic areas:

• Emergent Trends Impacting Wireless
• Enterprise IoT Technologies and Non-802.11 Wireless

This chapter concludes with final thoughts and key takeaways from throughout the book.

Emergent Trends Impacting Wireless

With so many connected devices, the explosive growth of IoT, and a cadre of digital transformation initiatives across all industries, just about every trend these days impacts wireless, and therefore security.

We're going to tackle a handful of the most pressing issues and the topics that address the most-asked questions by networking, wireless, and security professionals, including:

• Cloud-Managed Edge Architectures
• Remote Workforce ...
