By now, we should all know the importance of locking down our AV systems. What is IEEE 802.1X and why is it important to think about on an enterprise network? Bill O’Donnell, AV Network Design Engineer at William Paterson University, and James King, Audio Visual Specialist at Stockton University, return to the show to discuss this important topic. Authentication and network access is not just about changing passwords, it’s about not being the vulnerable link that compromises the campus network and protected information. Also, I set aside the “rapid round” for the first ever “AV soapbox.” You’re not going to want to miss that.
