BrandPost: From Autonomous to Adaptive: The Next Evolution in Networking

There have been many discussions about how to eliminate manual, labor-intensive network operations and the industry is using a wide set of terminology to describe the future lean and automated network operations, such as ‘intelligent’, ‘cognitive’ or ‘self-driving.’ Network providers are now able to rethink their operations with artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced analytics to achieve their long-desired goal of end-to-end automation, but most of them don’t want to cede control to networks that decide their own direction and remove humans from the equation altogether. They want their networks and operations to become more ‘adaptive’ to thrive in an ever-changing competitive landscape and to meet consumer demands, which requires a coherent combination of human-controlled-and-supervised, analytics-driven intelligence, software controlled and automated operational processes and an underlying programmable infrastructure (see Figure 1).To read this article in full, please click here

IBM Cloud, Now Powered by Cloudflare

A Tale of Two New Relationships

Late last spring, we were seeking to expand our connections inside of IBM. IBM had first become a direct Cloudflare customer in 2016, when its X-force Exchange business selected Cloudflare, instead of traditional scrubbing center solutions, for DDoS protection, WAF, and Load Balancing. We had friendly relationships with several people inside of IBM’s Softlayer business. We learned that the IBM “Networking Tribe” was evaluating various solutions to fill product gaps that their cloud customers were experiencing for DDoS, DNS, WAF, and load balancing.

In trying to engage with the people leading the effort, I made a casual phone call late on a Friday afternoon to one of the IBMers based in Raleigh, NC. When he understood that I was from Cloudflare, he replied, “Oh, I know Cloudflare. You guys do DDoS protection, right?” I replied, “Well, yes, we do offer DDoS protection, but we also offer a number of other security and performance services.” He indicated that he would be in the Bay Area two weeks later, and that he would bring his team to our office if we could make the time.

Also late last spring, my wife delivered our baby Continue reading

The internet of useful things

The industrial internet of things is growingImage by Peter Sayer/IDGWhen we talk about the internet of things, consumer applications too often get the lion’s share of the attention. But there are also a growing number of industrial applications for IoT technologies, from building better mousetraps to preventing theft of manhole covers.To read this article in full, please click here

I Can’t Choose the Gear for You

One of my readers sent me a question along these lines after reading the anti-automation blog post:

Your blog post has me worried as we're currently reviewing offers for NGFW solution... I understand the need to keep the lid on the details rather than name and shame, but is it possible to get the details off the record?

I always believed in giving my readers enough information to solve their challenges on their own (you know, the Teach a man to fish idea).

Yubikey for SSH on Windows

Short post this time.

If you on Linux set up your Yubikey in smartcard mode then you can use that Yubikey without any setup at all on Windows.

Just open PuttyWincrypt, put in the host to log in to, and under Connection > SSH > Auth set Private key file for authentication to cert://*, then click Open.

It’ll ask for the PIN, you’ll have to touch the Yubikey when it’s blinking, and you’re in.

Check Out Our Newest Addition to The INE Library: OSCP Security Technology Course

The OSCP Security Technology course is for those interested in learning advanced ethical hacking and penetration testing. This course is designed to prepare students to for the Penetration Testing with Kali (PWK) course offered by Offensive Security. The PWK course is a prerequisite to the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) exam. Students should be familiar with Linux command line, Bash and Python scripting, and basic networking concepts before attempting the course.

This Course is 9 hours and 22 minutes long and taught by Heath Adams. You can view the full OSCP course on our streaming site.

About The Instructor:

Heath Adams is a cybersecurity professional. He currently holds the OSCP, OSWP, CEH, CCNA, Security+, Linux+, Network+, and A+ certifications. When he is not developing courses with INE, he spends his work life as a senior network engineer with a national lab in the United States. He is also currently an Army Officer in the Reserves.

In his free time, Heath enjoys spending time with his fiance and their 4 animal children. He enjoys playing video games, running, playing the guitar, watching sports, and binge-watching more TV shows than he should admit.

IDG Contributor Network: Disposable IoT ready to open new opportunities

The Internet of Things (IoT) has transformed how industries operate and how people interact with one another. We have seen an impressive array of new IoT deployments from an explosion of smart city applications across the U.S., to sensors implanted in the horns of critically-endangered rhinos in Africa. The evolution of IoT has connected devices at record speed and provided useful business intelligence to solve complex, real-world problems.IoT devices outnumbered the world’s population for the first time this year. In a recent report, worldwide spending for IoT in 2017 is estimated to have grown 16.7% reaching $800 billion with an expected total of $1.4 trillion per year by 2021. The proliferation of IoT devices can be attributed to the fact that it is now much cheaper and easier to gather information from sensors.To read this article in full, please click here

Worth Reading: The IPv4 market

The IPv4 market has grown significantly in the last four years. It finished particularly strong in 2017, both in terms of the total volume of addresses traded and overall number of intra- and inter-RIR transactions in the ARIN region. —Janine Goodman @CircleID

Big trouble down on the IoT farm

You would think that modern farms would be fertile ground for the Internet of Things (IoT). And in many ways, you’d be right: Smart tractors and other farm equipment, coupled with GPS-equipped smart sensors tracking everything temperature to moisture to soil acidity, mean the IoT can help today’s high-tech farmers plant and harvest more efficiently than ever before.Who benefits from IoT on the farm? But if you believe a recent expose in Motherboard, all is not well down on the IoT farm. It turns out that many of the benefits of IoT — and the big data it generates — in agriculture fall not to the farmers, but to the so-called BigAg equipment makers and seed and fertilizer companies.To read this article in full, please click here
