Bird Rock Systems, Aruba Networks, and Palo Alto Networks hosted a technology mixer in the Alfred Mitchell room at the Torrey Pines Lodge.  ![Torrey Pines Lodge Cocktail Mixer](https://www.birdrockusa.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/fdefefefefefefefefef.png) ![Torrey Pines Cocktail Mixer](https://www.birdrockusa.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/sssssssssssssssss.png) The Lodge is always a great place to host a mixer. We enjoyed refreshing drinks and tasty appetizers along with our customers and learned about up coming technologies from Aruba Networks and Palo Alto Networks in relation to BYOD and mobile security. Great way to end a Tuesday night!   **Topics Covered by Palo Alto Networks and Aruba Networks: ** - Research detailing a new breed of sophisticated threats that incorporate applications, exploits, and malware - A firm understanding mobile security and BYOD today - How to detect known and unknown threats using Next-Generation Firewalls - Where legacy firewalls or add-on security technologies fall short in protecting networks - Next steps on how to protect and secure your network and mobile devices from security threats     ![Michael Gonzales](https://app.hubspot.com/settings/avatar/cbb14145f5778464747039f95cfa8677) #### Written by Michael Gonzales ## Subscribe to email updates -
