Riverbed enhances its SD-WAN performance-monitoring platform

Digital transformation is on every IT and business leader’s radar today. The path to it, though, may not be simple. While many industry pundits like to call out the likes of Uber and AirBnb, those digital natives didn’t have to worry about disrupting an existing business.To help mainstream businesses make that jump to a digital organization, Riverbed launched two new solutions at its Disrupt customer event last week in New York City.Enhanced network performance management The first is a new version of its network and application performance management platform, SteelCentral, enabling IT staff to better understand digital experiences. This aligns with a new movement among the NPM/APM vendors to shift to digital experience management (DEM), providing visibility into customer or worker experience regardless of whether the infrastructure is on premises, in the public cloud or in a hybrid environment.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Amazon and Google make it easier to connect to the cloud

As more organizations look to enable hybrid cloud computing, a big question remains: How do I connect my network to the cloud? This week Google Cloud Platform and Amazon Web Services each released new products that make that process easier.Google’s Dedicated Interconnect is now generally available Dedicated Interconnect is an important way for customers to connect to the public cloud. It allows organizations to connect their on-premises resources to a colocation facility and then that co-lo facility has a direct network connection to the public cloud. Public IaaS cloud providers like Google want to give their customers access to fast connections to their cloud, but they don’t want to connect to each individual customer’s site, so they’ve created this co-lo based Interconnect. Google runs the Interconnect and offers either a 99.9 or 99.99% service level agreement. Google is working with a handful of colocation vendors as the middle-man, including Equinix, Digital Realty and Infomart.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

What is a Tunnel

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a… tunnel? In this video, I take on the age old question: what is a tunnel? Is it a protocol, or is it something else?

IDG Contributor Network: How to solve the IoT data distribution dilemma

While the Internet of Things has enjoyed dizzying success when it comes to generating capital and public awareness for its furthered proliferation, several hurdles remain in its way. IoT-enthusiast familiar with its staggeringly quick development already know that the data distribution dilemma currently facing the IoT is perhaps its greatest obstacle towards future growth, yet few of them have solutions on how to go about solving this crisis.So, what exactly is the data distribution dilemma facing the IoT today, and what should governments, businesses, and private actors be doing to overcome this challenge? Solving the IoT’s data distribution nightmare will take serious investments and require new and better standards, but the cost of ignoring this growing predicament are too high to ignore.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Worth Reading: New Exploits, Old Techniques

The use of tunnelling to subvert traffic is in no way new and the article itself covers many of the tunnelling approaches that have been used to set up covert channels for well over a decade. However, what this research has highlighted is the need to draw attention and validation to logging and intrusion detection tools that can correlate between IPv4 and IPv6 traffic and find commonalities to detect any potential abusive and/or criminal behaviour. These solutions should encompass all of the varying IPv6 transition/coexistence mechanisms that are widely being deployed. –Merike Kaeo @ APNIC

Announcing Four NDSS 2018 Workshops on Binary Analysis, IoT, DNS Privacy, and Security

The Internet Society is excited to announce that four workshops will be held in conjunction with the upcoming Network and Distributed System Security (NDSS) Symposium on 18 February 2018 in San Diego, CA. The workshop topics this year are:

A quick overview of each of the workshops is provided below. Submissions are currently being accepted for emerging research in each of these areas. Watch for the final program details in early January!

The first workshop is a new one this year on Binary Analysis Research (BAR). It is exploring the reinvigorated field of binary code analysis in light of the proliferation of interconnected embedded devices. In recent years there has been a rush to develop binary analysis frameworks. This has occurred in a mostly uncoordinated manner with researchers meeting on an ad-hoc basis or working in obscurity and isolation. As a result, there is little sharing or results and solution reuse among tools. The importance of formalized and properly vetted methods and tools for binary code analysis in order to deal with the scale of growth in these interconnected embedded devices cannot be overstated.

Rough Guide to IETF 100: Internet Infrastructure Resilience

As we approach IETF 100 in Singapore next week, this post in the Rough Guide to IETF 100 has much progress to report in the world of Internet Infrastructure Resilience. After several years of hard work, the last major deliverable of the Secure Inter-Domain Routing (SIDR) WG is done – RFC 8205, the BGPSec Protocol Specification, was published in September 2017 as standard. BGPsec is an extension to the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) that provides security for the path of autonomous systems (ASes) through which a BGP update message propagates.

There are seven RFCs in the suite of BGPsec specifications:

  • RFC 8205 (was draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-protocol) – BGPsec Protocol Specification
  • RFC 8206 (was draft-ietf-sidr-as-migration) – BGPsec Considerations for Autonomous System (AS) Migration
  • RFC 8207 (was draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-ops) – BGPsec Operational Considerations
  • RFC 8208 (was draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-algs) – BGPsec Algorithms, Key Formats, and Signature Formats
  • RFC 8209 (was draft-ietf-sidr-bgpsec-pki-profiles) – A Profile for BGPsec Router Certificates, Certificate Revocation Lists, and Certification Requests
  • RFC 8210 (was draft-ietf-sidr-rpki-rtr-rfc6810-bis) – The Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) to Router Protocol, Version 1
  • RFC 8211 (was draft-ietf-sidr-adverse-actions) – Adverse Actions by a Certification Authority (CA) or Repository Manager in the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI)
