Today on the Tech Bytes podcast we talk about managing cloud risk with sponsor Fortinet. Fortinet recently announced its new FortiCNP product, which collects and correlates security findings, alerts and other data from cloud-native services, analyzes vulnerabilities, looks for misconfigurations, and more.
The post Tech Bytes: Manage Cloud Risks With Fortinet’s New FortiCNP Offering (Sponsored) appeared first on Packet Pushers.
I recorded the beginnings of a BGP training series over at Packet Pushers a short while back; they’ve released these onto youtube (so you can find the entire series there). I’m highlighting one of these every couple of weeks ’til I’ve gone through the entire set of recordings. In this recording, I’m talking through some more interesting aspects of BGP peering, including challenges with IPv6 link local nexthops, promiscuous peering, and capabilities.
We are excited to share that as of July 2022, VMware NSX-T version 3.1 has passed Common Criteria certification for Network Devices under Collaborative Protection Profile 2.2e, also known as NDcPP 2.2e. This is one of many testaments to our commitment to providing industry-leading certified solutions for customers from federal departments and agencies, international governments and agencies, and other highly regulated industries and sectors. Along with FIPS, DISA-STIG, ICSA Labs firewall certification, and several other independent evaluations, the NDcPP 2.2e certification validates NSX as a reliable network virtualization platform that satisfies rigorous government security standards.
VMware NSX 3.1 is now listed:
From the NIAP Security Evaluation Summary:
The evaluation was carried out in accordance with the Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS) process and scheme.

At IP Architechs we perform a lot of network migrations and it is no secret network migrations/ maintenance windows can be one of the most nerve-racking things for engineers, managers, and business leaders for a variety of reasons.
For the engineers the uncertainty might be caused by fear of failure, not being able to predict the outcome due to complexity, rushed on preparation to meet a deadline, or a litany of other reasons.
For managers and business leaders it might be more along the lines of; what happens if this goes wrong, how will this effect my bottom line, are there going to be 1000s of trouble tickets come 8/9am when everyone hits the office, and so on.
We’re going to look at this at the perspective of the engineer throughout. The prep work is probably one of the most important pieces of success. This is where you do many things including but not limited to:
Lets explore understanding the situation Continue reading
