IDG Contributor Network: Scalable groups tags with SD-Access

Perimeter-based firewalls When I stepped into the field of networking, everything was static and security was based on perimeter-level firewalling. It was common to have two perimeter-based firewalls; internal and external to the wide area network (WAN). Such layout was good enough in those days.I remember the time when connected devices were corporate-owned. Everything was hard-wired and I used to define the access control policies on a port-by-port and VLAN-by-VLAN basis. There were numerous manual end-to-end policy configurations, which were not only time consuming but also error-prone.There was a complete lack of visibility and global policy throughout the network and every morning, I relied on the multi router traffic grapher (MRTG) to manual inspect the traffic spikes indicating variations from baselines. Once something was plugged in, it was “there for life”. Have you ever heard of the 20-year-old PC that no one knows where it is but it still replies to ping? In contrast, we now live in an entirely different world. The perimeter has dissolved, resulting in perimeter-level firewalling alone to be insufficient.To read this article in full, please click here

Research: Covert Cache Channels in the Public Cloud

One of the great fears of server virtualization is the concern around copying information from one virtual machine, or one container, to another, through some cover channel across the single processor. This kind of channel would allow an attacker who roots, or otherwise is able to install software, on one of the two virtual machines, to exfiltrate data to another virtual machine running on the same processor. There have been some successful attacks in this area in recent years, most notably meltdown and spectre. These defects have been patched by cloud providers, at some cost to performance, but new vulnerabilities are bound to be found over time. The paper I’m looking at this week explains a new attack of this form. In this case, the researchers use the processor’s cache to transmit data between two virtual machines running on the same physical core.

The processor cache is always very small for several reasons. First, the processor cache is connected to a special bus, which normally has limits in the amount of memory it can address. This special bus avoids reading data through the normal system bus, and this is (from a networking perspective) at least one hop, and often several Continue reading

LACIGF Workshop for Chapter Leaders: The Internet Should Reach Everyone

Inside the framework of the 11th meeting of LACIGF, the Internet Society’s Regional Bureau in Latin America & Caribbean successfully carried out the 2018 edition of the Workshop for Chapter Leaders. In addition to addressing the key issues of the organization, the event included a session focused on personal development. The 34 participants, from 22 Chapters, also had the opportunity to talk with Andrew Sullivan, future Executive Director of the Internet Society.

Volunteering: A Shared Challenge

The Internet Society Chapters are a fundamental component of the Internet Society. Made up of people with diverse backgrounds and interests, the Chapters pursue a common and ambitious goal: the Internet should reach everyone. To achieve this, each member spends a significant part of their time working with their peers on diverse projects.

This is why, the first part of the Chapter Workshop focused on human development components related to leadership. Although the content was shared with the representatives of each Chapter that attended the workshop, the idea was to reinforce the message within the boards of the chapters of the given region, in order to facilitate the promotion of these ideas locally.

The Week in Internet News: IoT Security Spending Predicted to Skyrocket

Securing the IoT: Internet of Things security spending is predicted to rise by about 30 percent a year through 2023 as the industry looks for some regulations, reports Cyber Security Hub. Possible regulatory standards are driving part of the growth.

Pornification of the IoT: This is bad news or maybe good news, depending on your perspective. Hackers recently took control of an IoT-connected parking kiosk and connected it to online porn content, Business Insider reports. The kiosk didn’t display the porn content, however, leaving researchers confused about the hackers’ motivation. Maybe, it was just because they could.

AI joins the army: The Indian military is considering the use of Artificial Intelligence for national security and military strategic purposes, says The News Minute. The Indian government is also studying AI uses in aviation, and for cyber, nuclear, and biological warfare.
