Network Security and next Generation of Firewalls
Date: Thursday Jan 12, 2012
Time: 11:00am - 12:10pm
Location: Building 21, Room # 133
Company: Palo Alto Networks
Presenter: Brett Eldridge - VP of Global Customer Services
Abstract
The speaker will give a short history of the evolution of the network firewall. Network firewalls started as "projects" in the labs of Bell Networks and other companies in the late 1980s and then became mainstream technology over the next decade. In the process, it spawned a multi-billion dollar market. Recently, network firewalls have had to evolve as many applications move to the web and the types of threats have changed. We will examine how the technology has changed since the "dawn" of network security and what has caused those changes.
Short Bio:
Brett Eldridge is currently the VP of Global Customer Services at Palo Alto Networks which is the leading network security company producing next-generation network security solutions which safely enable applications. Brett has held positions at multiple different network security startup companies and was a co-founder at OneSecure which produced the world's first Intrusion Prevention System (IPS). Brett has been involved in Internet Security for more than 15 years and has a BSEE (1989) and MBA (1995) from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.
