Davin Baker, product manager, SafeNet Incorporated, served as the featured speaker at the September meeting. He provided an overview of SafeNet's network encryption business line and discussed an alternative approach to network encryption that ensures increased security and maximum performance at minimal cost. Baker also talked about enterprise data protection (EDP), which secures data across the connected enterprise and protects data at rest, in transit and in use. He outlined the challenges of increased threats, performance demands and budget constraints that come with implementing EDP. Baker concluded his presentation by emphasizing the advantages of hybrid architectures and the Security Management Center, which reduces the cost of network security management by providing a single management element to administer security across heterogeneous networks. The chapter awarded 1st Lt. Melanie Alvarez, USAF, network systems flight operations officer, 34th Combat Communications Squadron, with the chapter's Young AFCEAN award.
