The companies completed live tests of 5G in a Toronto stadium and plan to continue testing in other Canadian cities over the next year.
The company is looking to support unmodified big data software in containers so data scientists can spend their time analyzing data rather than fighting hardware and drivers.
A U.K. government agency is also recommending that telcos not purchase equipment from ZTE.
Recently, Bert Hubert wrote of a growing problem in the networking world: the complexity of DNS. We have two systems we all use in the Internet, DNS and BGP. Both of these systems appear to be able to handle anything we can throw at them and “keep on ticking.”
But how far can we drive the complexity of these systems before they ultimately fail? Bert posted this chart to the APNIC blog to illustrate the problem—
I am old enough to remember when the entire Cisco IOS Software (classic) code base was under 150,000 lines; today, I suspect most BGP and DNS implementations are well over this size. Consider this for a moment—a single protocol implementation that is larger than an entire Network Operating System ten to fifteen years back.
What really grabbed my attention, though, was one of the reasons Bert believes we have these complexity problems—
DNS developers frequently see immense complexity not as a problem but as a welcome challenge to be overcome. We say ‘yes’ to things we should say ‘no’ to. Less gifted developer communities would have to say no automatically since they simply would not be able to implement all that new stuff. Continue reading
An IBM security report found a 424-percent jump in breaches related to misconfigured cloud infrastructure in 2017, largely due to human error.
Just signed up last week for the Micronic’s “Security Zero-to-Hero” class. I am beyond stoked and excited! I have been searching for awhile now for a class to take to help me really “go to the next level” in Security. But I just wasn’t finding the kind of class I was looking for. Every class I saw offered was either focused on one narrow aspect of the security landscape OR focused on helping people pass the CCIE Security. Neither or which matched what I was searching for.
The class I was hoping to find would be structured more like a semester long college class with real world production discussions and also hands on labs. A class where … over weeks of learning and labbing in my personal time… the learning would just continue to seep deeper and deeper and the “aha” moments would just keep coming. There were lots of one week classes to choose from. But, for me, I just don’t see a one week class as a great “immersive” experience into the complex landscape of the world of Security. There is a “learning limit”, for me, as to how much my brain can retain Continue reading

The APAN 45 meeting was held on 25-29 March 2018 in Singapore, where Kevin Meynell presented the MANRS routing security initiative during the Network Engineering Workshop.
We’ve previously discussed the underlying trust-based issues of BGP that MANRS attempts to address in a number of blogs, but we’re particularly interested in partnering with R&E networking communities for the reasons that National Research and Education Networks (NRENs) are often early adopters of new technologies and initiatives, they’re interested in distinguishing themselves from commercial operators, and the R&E community is a collaborative one.
This engagement resulted in significant interest from a number of NRENs in becoming MANRS participants, with AARNet (Australian Academic and Research Network) signing-up shortly afterwards (AS 7575). The presentation is available on the APAN 45 website, and may be freely used by those interested in promoting MANRS to raise awareness of routing security issues and promote the initiative.
APAN (Asia Pacific Advanced Network) supports the R&E networks in the region to help them to connect to each other and to other R&E networks around the world, allows knowledge to be exchanged, and coordinates the activities, services and applications of its members for their common good. APAN and the preceding APNG Continue reading

Do you trust this documentary? Do You Trust This Computer? is a new documentary from filmmaker Chris Paine that’s dedicated to the dangers of artificial intelligence. Elon Musk, who’s been vocal about the potential downsides of the technology, appears in the film and has promoted it. But The Verge finds the film a bit overly dramatic, saying “feels more like a trailer for a bad sci-fi movie than a documentary on AI.”
Or you could just get a dog: Speaking of AI, researchers at the University of Washington in Seattle are using canine behavior to train an AI system to make dog-like decisions, reports MIT Technology Review. The researchers are using dog behavior as a way to help AI better learn how to plan, with hopes of helping AI better understand visual intelligence, among other things.
News apps meet the Great Firewall: The Chinese government has temporarily blocked four news apps from being downloaded from Android app stores, ZDNet reports. The apps, with a combined user base of more than 400 million, have been suspended for up to three weeks in an apparent government media crackdown. Meanwhile, Chinese regulators have permanently banned a joke app for supposed vulgar content.
Are you attending the RSA USA 2018 Conference this week in San Francisco? If so, please plan to join this panel session happening Tuesday, April 17, 2018, from 3:30 – 4:14pm (PDT):
IoT Trust by Design: Lessons Learned in Wearables and Smart Home Products
Moderated by my colleague Jeff Wilbur, Director of the Online Trust Alliance (OTA), the panel abstract is:
The world has awakened to the need for tighter security and privacy in consumer-grade IoT offerings. This panel will present a trust framework for IoT, and wearable and smart home experts will discuss top attack vectors, typical vulnerabilities in devices, apps and systems, common reasons for design compromise, the evolution of security and privacy in IoT and where it needs to go.
They will be discussing the OTA’s IoT Trust Framework, as well as some new mechanisms available to help enterprises understand the risks associated with IoT devices.
If you believe securing the Internet of Things is a critical step to having a secure Internet, please join Jeff and his panelists to learn more.
Unfortunately there appears to be no live stream available but they do seem to be recording many of the sessions. If Jeff’s Continue reading
