Traditional security solutions are designed to protect the perimeter. As applications and data are becoming increasingly distributed, they are often spanning not only multiple sites, but also multiple clouds. This is making it harder to identify where the perimeter actually is in order to secure it. But even if the perimeter can be reliably identified, securing it alone is not enough. The east-west traffic inside of the environment must be secured as well. VMware NSX makes security an intrinsic part of the infrastructure that applications and data live on, rather than a bolted-on afterthought; security is built in Day 0.
VMware created a Micro-segmentation Starter Kit to help you get started with securing your network from Planning to Enforcement to Troubleshooting. Each kit includes 6 CPUs of both NSX ADV and vRealize Network Insight ADV at 25% off the global list price.

The DNSSEC Deployment Initiative and the Internet Society Deploy360 Programme, in cooperation with the ICANN Security and Stability Advisory Committee (SSAC), are planning a DNSSEC Workshop during the ICANN62 meeting held from 25-28 June 2018 in Panama City, Panama.
If you are interested in participating, please send a brief (1-2 sentence) description of your proposed presentation to [email protected] by Friday, 4 May 2018
The DNSSEC Workshop has been a part of ICANN meetings for several years and has provided a forum for both experienced and new people to meet, present and discuss current and future DNSSEC deployments. For reference, the most recent session was held at the ICANN Community Forum in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 14 March 2018. The presentations and transcripts are available at:
As this is the shorter “Policy Forum” format for ICANN meetings, the DNSSEC Workshop Program Committee is developing a 3-hour program. Proposals will be considered for the following topic areas and included if space permits. In addition, we welcome suggestions for additional topics either for inclusion in the ICANN62 workshop, or for consideration for Continue reading
If you were a black hat hacker considering targets of opportunity, a service provider network might seem very interesting. The infrastructure is critical for commerce and governmental operations. The data carried is potentially interesting and valuable. And indeed, we know that carrier networks are highly targeted.
In this sponsored show with Cisco, we discuss how to think deeply about security on mission critical networks and protecting routers and other devices not behind a firewall.
That means making certain that the network operating system is running exactly the code we think it is. That the devices on the network are devices we know and can trust. And then once we ve secured the network, how we can use it as a platform to deliver additional security services.
Our guests are Dan Backman and Kaarthik Sivakumar of Cisco. Dan is a Technical Marketing Engineer on the Service Provider team, and Kaarthik is a Security Architect for IOS XR Engineering.
We discuss the general risks service providers face and why trusted network devices are essential. Then we dive into technical details on how Cisco protects IOS XR, including the Trust Anchor Module, how to audit trusted networks, and how to build Continue reading
Many of the big benefits of 5G, such as low latency and higher speed broadband, may not be that noticeable to consumers, analysts say.
Thanks to all who joined us for the Big Switch Networks 2018 Next-Gen Data Center Networking Report Webinar: Next-Gen Networking for Hybrid and Multi-Cloud.

Breaking into an industry isn’t easy. When you look at the amount of material that is necessary to learn IT skills it can be daunting and overwhelming. Don’t let the for-profit trade school ads fool you. You can’t go from ditch digger to computer engineer in just a few months. It takes time and knowledge to get there.
However, there is one concept in non-technical job roles that feels very appropriate to how we do IT training, specifically for security. And that’s the apprenticeship.
Apprenticeship is a standard for electricians and carpenters. It’s the way that we train new people to do the work of the existing workforce. It requires time and effort and a lot of training. But, it also fixes several problems with the current trend of IT certification:

Cloudflare’s team of security analysts monitor for upcoming threats and vulnerabilities and where possible put protection in place for upcoming threats before they compromise our customers. This post examines how we protected people against a new major vulnerability in the Drupal CMS, nicknamed Drupalgeddon 2.
Two weeks after adding protection with WAF rule ID D0003 which mitigates the critical remote code execution Drupal exploit (SA-CORE-2018-002/CVE-2018-7600), we have seen significant spikes of attack attempts. Since the 13th of April the Drupal security team has been aware of automated attack attempts and it significantly increased the security risk score of the vulnerability. It makes sense to go back and analyse what happened in the last seven days in Cloudflare’s WAF environment.
The vulnerability potentially allows attackers to exploit multiple attack vectors on a Drupal site, which could make a site completely compromised.
Drupal introduced renderable arrays, which are a key-value structure, with keys starting with a ‘#’ symbol, that allows you to alter data during form rendering. These arrays however, did not have enough input validation. This means that an attacker could inject a custom renderable array on one of these keys in the form structure.
Security researchers have been warning about an ongoing malware campaign hijacking Internet routers to distribute Android banking malware that steals users’ sensitive information, login credentials and the secret code for two-factor authentication. In order to trick Continue reading
