I do have some slides on securing MPLS type connections as well as folks assume that MPLS connections through a service provider are safe but simply put they are not 'safe' and the cost of encrypting is usually not very high if anything at all (unless we're talking about over a few gbps of traffic. Enabling encryption through the provider cloud should be standard operating procedure in my opinion but there are implications to doing so and that is something I will cover in my presentation.
Essentially it is about these bullets;
1) The unexpected
2) The landscape of encryption technologies for Securing WAN connectivity, what's changed, etc
3) The next generation branch office architecture
4) Network Security best practices
The majority of the topic is vendor agnostic though the branch architecture stuff does outline some capabilities that Cisco has brought to market that nobody has enabling some things that I think are pretty unique. My objective is to get guys who are responsible for this technology in their companies to adopt better practices around deploying security technologies. Secure WAN is merely an example to frame it around. My hope is that they will walk out with questions about what they are doing and more confident in what they can do.
Hopefully it'll go well. Its my first time speaking at Cisco Live and they only really give you one chance and if you screw up...well, you don't usually get another. I'm not new to presenting or anything - but this is the biggest deal kind of gig I have gotten. I hope I enjoy it!
Like I said - my initial reviews of condensed versions are very good but I've also had a bit of feedback that the parts about encryption are a little...um...too engineering deep but at the same time I firmly believe that is why folks come. That is why I go myself - for the deep dive. This will not be super deep overall but we will look for pearls occasionally.
