Celebrating Australia’s Privacy Awareness Week 2023

When a country throws a privacy party, Cloudflare is there! We are proud to be an official sponsor of the Australian Privacy Awareness Week 2023, and we think this year’s theme of “Privacy 101: Back to Basics” is more important now than ever. In recent months, Australians have been hit with the news of massive personal data privacy breaches where millions of Australian citizens' private and sensitive data was compromised, seemingly easily. Meanwhile, the Australian Attorney General released its Privacy Act Review Report 2022 earlier this year, calling for a number of changes to Australia’s privacy regulations.

You’re probably familiar with the old-school privacy basics of giving users notice and consent. But we think it’s time for some new “privacy basics”. Thanks to rapid developments in new technologies and new security threat vectors, notice and consent can only go so far to protect the privacy of your personal data. New challenges call for new solutions: security solutions and privacy enhancing technologies to keep personal data protected. Cloudflare is excited to play a role in building and using these technologies to help our customers keep their sensitive information private and enable individual consumers to protect themselves. Investing in and offering these Continue reading

Interesting: BGP Zombie Outbreak on Juniper Routers

BGP zombies are routes in the BGP table that refuse to disappear even though they should have been long gone. Recent measurements estimate between 0.5% and 1.5% of all routes in the global BGP table are zombies, which sounds crazy – after all, BGP is supposed to be pretty reliable.

Daryll Swer identified one potential source – Juniper routers do not revoke suppressed aggregated prefixes – and documented it in Navigating a BGP zombie outbreak on Juniper routers.

Heavy Networking 676: Implementing ZTNA And SASE With Fortinet (Sponsored)

Fortinet is a security vendor most of you have heard of. But if all you think of when you hear the name “Fortinet” is firewalls, well yeah, but you should think more broadly.

Aruba banks on integrated security, AI, NaaS for enterprise growth

Security, AI, and network-as-a-service (NaaS) were top of mind for Aruba Networks execs at their Atmosphere customer conference this week.“Ten years ago for most network operators their main job was making sure connectivity was reliable and security was someone else’s problem.
