NetBeez helps narrow down root causes of issues in virtual environments

Ryan Riffle is the network manager for an insurance firm with just under 2,000 employees. The company operates a primary data center, plus another for disaster recovery, to serve two major offices in the south-central US and smaller branches around the country. Three years ago, the company installed a software-defined network based on VMware NSX technology, and now more than 99% of the network operates in a virtual environment.The flexibility of the software-defined network provides a lot of benefits. Riffle says the company was able to improve its security posture with micro-segmentation for business applications at the virtual layer. (The company does not allow use of its name for the appearance of endorsing any product or vendor.) What’s more, there is no longer a need to have physical third-party appliances that had to be managed differently from the virtual server environment. They were able to remove physical devices, including a hardware firewall, routers and load balancers.To read this article in full, please click here

Learn, Contribute, and Engage! Introducing the Chapter Training Program!

Our members plays a vital role in working for a open, globally-connected, and secure Internet for all – through their experience, knowledge, and passion. For this reason, we’re excited to announce the Internet Society’s 2020 Chapters Training Program.

The Chapters Training Program will be the first engagement and learning program for members that focuses on developing new community leaders.  These community leaders can work together with their respective Chapters and create local awareness of our 2020 Action Plan work and explore options for members to become involved.

Growing and developing our communities is one of our main priorities. By launching this program we aim to strengthen three important development components for Chapters: Chapter alignment to Organizations Strategy, Capacity Building, and Community engagement.

Enrollment for Chapters interested in being part of the program will be open until February 9th . Chapters can subscribe here.

For Chapters interested on getting more details about the program, a video session is available.

We hope to get as many Chapters as possible for this first year pilot!

We can only grow if we innovate and work together. New ideas will always bring new opportunities. Join us and be part of this global initiative!

Cisco patches a security glitch affecting routers, switches and phones

Cisco has issued fixes for five security glitches that can be found in a wealth of its networked enterprise products – from switches and routers to web cameras and desktop VoIP phones.  The problems center around vulnerabilities in the implementation of the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) that could let remote attackers take over the products without any user interaction. While no public exploit has been found, an attacker simply needs to send a maliciously crafted CDP packet to a target device located inside the network to take advantage of the weakness, Cisco stated.Cisco’s CDP is a Layer 2 protocol that runs on Cisco devices and enables networking applications to learn about directly connected devices nearby, according to Cisco. It enables management of Cisco devices by discovering networked devices, determining how they are configured, and letting systems using different network-layer protocols learn about each other, according to Cisco.To read this article in full, please click here

The EVPN/BGP Saga Continues

Aldrin wrote a well-thought-out comment to my EVPN Dilemma blog post explaining why he thinks it makes sense to use Juniper’s IBGP (EVPN) over EBGP (underlay) design. The only problem I have is that I forcefully disagree with many of his assumptions.

He started with an in-depth explanation of why EBGP over directly-connected interfaces makes little sense:
