Block access to consumer / Personal Gmail accounts

  Block access to consumer / Personal Gmail accounts Short answer: To block access to some Google accounts and services while allowing access to your managed Google accounts (such as G Suite or Cloud Identity), you need a web proxy server that can perform SSL interception and insert HTTP headers. As an administrator, you may want to prevent users from signing in to Google services using any accounts other than the accounts you provided them with. For example, you may not want them to use their personal Gmail accounts or a managed Google account from another domain. A common means of blocking access to web services is using a web proxy server to filter traffic directed at particular URLs. This approach won’t work in this case, because legitimate traffic from a user’s managed Google account goes to the same URL as the traffic you want to block. To only allow users to access Google services using specific Google accounts from your domain, you need the web proxy server to

WPA3- Coming in 2018

WPA3- Coming in 2018 WPA3 is not an immediate replacement for WPA2, which will continue to be maintained and enhanced. In particular, the Alliance will introduce new testing enhancements for WPA2 to reduce the potential for vulnerabilities caused by network misconfigurations; and will further safeguard managed networks with centralized authentication services. New Wi-Fi Alliance WPA3 certified devices will take some time to filter into widespread use. Use of the new specification will require WPA3 devices and WPA3 routers -- and since the vast majority of home wi-fi users never buy a router but use the one supplied by their ISP, many users won't become WPA3 compatible before they change ISPs. That could take several years. Nevertheless, there are some welcome enhancements over the WP2 specification that has kept users largely, but not entirely, protected for around two decades. Four new capabilities for both personal and enterprise networks have been announced. Th
