Oracle does-in Dyn, resets DNS services to cloud

Some may call it a normal, even boring course of vendor business operations but others find it a pain the rump or worse.That about sums up the reaction to news this week that Oracle will end its Dyn Domain Name System enterprise services by 2020 and try to get customers to move to DNS services provided through Oracle Cloud. More about DNS: DNS in the cloud: Why and why not DNS over HTTPS seeks to make internet use more private How to protect your infrastructure from DNS cache poisoning ICANN housecleaning revokes old DNS security key Oracle said that since its acquisition of Dyn in 2016 and the ensuing acquisition of Zenedge, its engineering teams have been working to integrate Dyn’s products and services into the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure platform. “Enterprises can now leverage the best-in-class DNS, web application security, and email delivery services within Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and enhance their applications with a comprehensive platform to build, scale, and operate their cloud infrastructure," according to Oracle's FAQ on the move. "As a result, Dyn legacy Enterprise services are targeted to be retired on May 31, 2020 with the exception of Internet Intelligence.”To read this article Continue reading

Where are all the IoT experts going to come from?

If the internet of things (IoT) is going to fulfill its enormous promise, it’s going to need legions of smart, skilled, trained workers to make everything happen. And right now, it’s not entirely clear where those people are going to come from.That’s why I was interested in trading emails with Keith Flynn, senior director of product management, R&D at asset-optimization software company AspenTech, who says that when dealing with the slew of new technologies that fall under the IoT umbrella, you need people who can understand how to configure the technology and interpret the data. Flynn sees a growing need for existing educational institutions to house IoT-specific programs, as well as an opportunity for new IoT-focused private colleges, offering a well -ounded curriculumTo read this article in full, please click here

Tracking down library injections on Linux

While not nearly commonly seen on Linux systems, library (shared object files on Linux) injections are still a serious threat. On interviewing Jaime Blasco from AT&T's Alien Labs, I've become more aware of how easily some of these attacks are conducted.In this post, I'll cover one method of attack and some ways that it can be detected. I'll also provide some links that will provide more details on both attack methods and detection tools. First, a little background. [ Two-Minute Linux Tips: Learn how to master a host of Linux commands in these 2-minute video tutorials ] Shared library vulnerability Both DLL and .so files are shared library files that allow code (and sometimes data) to be shared by various processes. Commonly used code might be put into one of these files so that it can be reused rather than rewritten many times over for each process that requires it. This also facilitates management of commonly used code.To read this article in full, please click here

MPLS is dead, Long live MPLS

The initial hype of SD-WAN claimed that MPLS was dead as SD-WAN was going to remove all need for SLA based circuits. Now that we’re several years in and have some experience under our collective belts, we take a look at whether or not the original hype was correct and what real world customers are doing when it comes to selecting circuits for their SD-WAN networks.

Extreme targets cloud services, SD-WAN, WiFi 6 with $210M Aerohive grab

Extreme Networks opened the checkbook again this week to the tune of $210 million for wireless-networking vendor Aerohive.The move will bring to Extreme Aerohive’s wireless-networking technology – including its new WiFi 6 gear, SD-WAN software and cloud-management services.  See reviews of free, open-source network monitoring tools Icinga: Enterprise-grade, open-source network-monitoring that scales Nagios Core: Network-monitoring software with lots of plugins, steep learning curve Observium open-source network monitoring tool: Won’t run on Windows but has a great user interface Zabbix delivers effective no-frills network monitoring Gartner wrote, "Aerohive's wireless-focused access-network portfolio comprises stand-alone and stackable campus switches, access points and branch-office routers, with a cloud-managed distributed control architecture. Organizations typically employ Aerohive’s HiveManager network management platform [which manages Wi-Fi, Switching, SD-WAN, and NAC] as a public or private cloud, although it also may be deployed on-premises. To manage a multivendor unified access network, the enterprise can use HiveManager to configure, provision and monitor Aerohive APs in conjunction with switches from Aerohive or with N-Series switches from OEM partner Dell EMC." The company also has a relationship with Juniper to managed wired devices.To read this article in full, please click here

Response: Certifications Are Not A Big Deal. Stop Being a Princess About It.

Announcing news.internetsociety.org – a way to follow what is published across all Internet Society sites

Screenshot of news.internetsociety.org

Today I’m pleased to announce a new site we have built that brings into one location links to all the content published across Internet Society websites:

news.internetsociety.org

This news site aggregates posts from our main website, from sites of our 130+ Chapters and Special Interest Groups (SIGs), and from certain other affiliated sites. On the site, you can:

  • Search using keywords
  • Filter the view based on the region
  • Filter the view based on language
  • Filter the view to see posts only from a specific source

For instance, you can see all the posts published by Chapters in Africa. Or you can see all the posts published in French, or Spanish, or Chinese… or Georgian.

Note that the filters can work together. By choosing “Africa” and “French” you will see only French posts from African Chapters. There’s a “Reset” link on the right side that will clear all the filters.

All the views also have unique URLs that you can share with people, or link to from other sites, email newsletters, etc. And of course the site has a master RSS feed that you can read in a RSS reader or other tool.

I find it quite Continue reading

Can 5G replace high-speed Wi-Fi in the enterprise?
