In this episode Russ White talks about how security absolutism is actually detrimental to securing important data and systems, and how shifting our view of security to a balance of tradeoffs would be a much better approach.

There's been a lot of hype about what 5G will bring, but we're years away from highly immersive experiences. Here's what to expect.
Steve Krause created a full-blown network services deployment solution, including post-deployment validation of OSPF and BGP routing, while attending Building Network Automation Solutions online course (I prefer course attendees working on real-life problems instead of artificial ones).
Hope you’ll enjoy exploring it ;)

Despite what some people say, automation is not for the lazy. This opinion probably comes from the fact that the whole point of automation is to reduce repetitive tasks and make your life easier. Indeed automation can do just that, as well as giving you back hours each week for other tasks.
But getting your automation off the ground to begin with can be a challenge.

In this post, I’ll give you five network automation tips and tricks to get clarity around your automation decisions and reduce any friction that may be inhibiting (further) adoption of network automation.

The event was the start of a critical conversation about how indigenous communities can connect themselves to the Internet on their own terms. He detailed the time, diligence, and effort required to build a regulatory framework, and hoped that other Summit participants could “see how things are possible, celebrate success stories, share those success stories so that they can be built upon, and gain exposure to the political circumstances, social circumstances, geographic Continue reading
