Security with Fish: My First Couple Months

In late June I wrote Security Here I Come!  The transition wasn’t quite as fast as I thought it would be.  🙂   But for the past couple months I’ve been able to really start digging in.

My initial response after watching just 2 CiscoLive VoDs?  FEAR!

I really enjoyed these sessions a great deal!!  They were the absolute perfect eye-opener to me!

Neil Lovering had the “Verizon Data Breach Report” in his slides (below).

Its funny because I have seen it before.  To be completely honest I have seen it quite a number of times.  But it was just something about how he presented it.  He got past my not wanting to really “hear” about the risk and the danger and the reality of the security landscape in the world around us.  I paused the VoD on this slide…. paused it and just really took the time to take it all in.

My reaction to this slide?  Lol. This is when the fear began.  Two simple facts on the Continue reading

Worth Reading: Anonymous Speech Takes a Hit

First Amendment protections for anonymous speech online were dealt a serious blow earlier today when the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued its opinion in United States v. Glassdoor. In its opinion, the Court ruled in favor of the US government’s efforts to compel Glassdoor to unmask anonymous reviews of employers by employees posted on the site. The ripple effects of this case for online speakers could be severe, and with the case having been placed under seal from day one, it’s not surprising that the decision reflects a clear lack of understanding of its potential impact from the Court. — Lisa A Hayes @ Center for Democracy and Technology

IDG Contributor Network: 5 reasons why IT can’t tame the user experience for the network manager

Worth Reading: Continuous Infrastructure

Continuous delivery (CD) and continuous integration (CI) are two well-known aspects of DevOps. But the CI in vogue today is missing a critical “I:” infrastructure. There was a time when “infrastructure” meant headless black boxes, enormous server rooms, and towering racks—not to mention procurement processes that stretched for months and load estimates that erred on the side of surplus. Then came the virtual machine revolution, which made the infrastructure, well, virtual—and the world has never been the same. We no longer need to manage brick-and-mortar boxes. We can create and destroy, start and stop, upgrade and downgrade machines with just a few clicks. — Girish Managoli @ opensource.com

IDG Contributor Network: How manufacturers are benefitting from the IoT revolution

Few industries have benefited as much from the Internet of Things revolution than manufacturers. Whether it’s harnessing the power of data and metadata to make wiser decisions, or developing new and more efficient technologies capable of saving energy cost, the IoT is fundamentally reshaping how manufacturers produce the goods we use in our everyday lives.So how exactly is the IoT making business leaders rethink the way they manufacture, and how likely is it that these changes endure in the long-term? A quick review of how manufacturers can exploit the IoT phenomenon that’s quickly coming to shape our lives shows that it’s anything but temporary, and should serve as a warning to those manufacturers who have yet to adopt a 21st century outlook.To read this article in full, please click here

Deploy360 at IETF 100, Day 4: Woohoo for DOH!

This week is IETF 100 in Singapore, and we’re bringing you daily blog posts highlighting some of the topics that Deploy360 is interested in. Thursday is another busy day, with the second sessions of the V6OPS and DNSOPS Working Groups, along with the first meeting of the DOH Working Group and other encryption-related activities.

V6OPS continues at 09.30 SGT/UTC+8 from where it left off. On the agenda are drafts relating to 464XLAT Deployment Guidelines for Operator Networks, transition requirements for IPv6 customer edge routers, and IPv6 prefix delegation for hosts. There’s other drafts on DHCPv6 Prefix Delegation and Neighbour Discovery on a cellular connected IoT router, and on using a /64 from a customer prefix for numbering an IPv6 point-to-point link. Finally, there’s an initiative to clarify about what functionalities should determine whether a network is ‘IPv6-only’.

Running at the same time is TLS, which will be primarily focusing on the two big issues of TLS 1.3 and DTLS 1.3. However, it will also be discussing drafts on connection ID, exported authenticators, protecting against denial of service attacks, and application layer TLS.

NOTE: If you are unable to attend IETF 100 Continue reading
