Last week I hosted family for Thanksgiving.
My 12-year-old nephew asked for the WiFi password.
He wanted to play Roblox on his iPad.
I looked at the device.
Unmanaged. No antivirus. No encryption.
I’m an IT Professional. I don't run an open network.
So I didn’t give him the password.
Instead, I spent 45 minutes provisioning a Guest VLAN.
I set up a captive portal.
I throttled the bandwidth down to 56kbps.
Then I blocked all traffic on ports 80 and 443.
He came back crying. He said it wouldn't load.
My sister screamed at me to "just let him play."
I told her that Zero Trust architecture doesn't care about bloodlines.
We didn't have a "fun" Thanksgiving.
But we had a secure perimeter.
You’re welcome for the compliance.
@BrianKillian @midnightphilos1 I try and give her some grace. She has good intentions but she seemed to go from one extreme to the next. with no humbling in the middle.
Heavenly Father, I choose You.
Not for hope of reward, not for fear of hell, but because You are worth any and all things.
Any sacrifice I have or will make pale comically in comparison to what You’ve sacrificed for me.
I choose You over me and over all that I love.
You are worth it
Amen
