Six years ago, VMware pioneered the concept of micro-segmentation to stop the internal, lateral spread of malware. We then launched the NSX Service-defined Firewall, an internal firewall that’s built into the hypervisor, distributed, and application aware. Shortly thereafter we introduced NSX Intelligence to automate security rule recommendations, streamlining the deployment of micro-segmentation.
Now we are announcing that we will be taking internal security to the next level by introducing optional Intrusion Detection and Prevention (IDS/IPS) for our Service-defined Firewall. Built on the same philosophy, the new NSX Distributed IDS/IPS will allow enterprises to fortify applications across private and public clouds.
Intrinsic Security is security that’s built in, not bolted on. And that makes it better.
When security is bolted on, it’s never as good as built-in security. Imagine an apartment building where you add the alarm system, the security cameras, and the fire escape after the fact. It looks awkward and doesn’t work that well, either.
But when you design those things in upfront, the effect is completely different. Everything just works better, as parts of a whole system. The same thing is true for security.
More importantly, when you build in Continue reading

Walking away: A Russian law that allows the country to disconnect from the outside Internet in the case of a cyberwar has gone into effect, PC Mag reports. The law allows the government there to serve up its own approved version of the Internet to residents. Some critics say the law could make the entire Internet more open to attacks.
Gone missing: The Internet has lost its soul by pushing commercial interests ahead of the public good, argues Janet Abbate, a professor of science, technology, and society at Virginia Tech in a column at the Washington Post. “Expanding access to the Internet, combined with looser government regulations, ultimately produced a situation no one foresaw or intended,” she writes. “On today’s Internet, conspiracy theories run rampant, identities can be faked and our real-life elections are vulnerable to manipulation. A network designed for spreading truth became a profit-driven industry, a public sphere that threatens to undermine the public good.”
Into middle age: There were a lot of recent articles about an important Internet milestone in late October. Ars Technica notes that the original ARPANET had just four nodes when it launched in 1969. “The first letters transmitted, sent from UCLA to Stanford Continue reading

Remember 2016? Pokemon Go was all the rage, we lost Prince, and there were surprising election results in both the UK and US. Back in 2016, Blackbird Technologies was notorious in the world of patent litigation. It was a boutique law firm that was one of the top ten most active patent trolls, filing lawsuits against more than 50 different defendants in a single year.
In October 2016, Blackbird was looking to acquire additional patents for their portfolio when they found an incredibly broad software patent with the ambiguous title, “PROVIDING AN INTERNET THIRD PARTY DATA CHANNEL.” They acquired this patent from its owner for $1 plus “other good and valuable consideration.” A little later, in March 2017, Blackbird decided to assert that patent against Cloudflare.
As we have explained previously, patent trolls benefit from a problematic incentive structure that allows them to take vague or abstract patents that they have no intention of developing and assert them as broadly as possible. Instead, these trolls collect licensing fees or settlements from companies who are otherwise trying to start a business, produce useful products, and create good jobs. Companies facing such claims usually convince themselves that settlements Continue reading

A friend of mine sent me a short message including…
There is a number of products that recently arrived or are coming to market using group encryption systems for IP networks, but are (understandably) not using IPsec.
… which triggered an old itch of mine caused by the “We don’t need no IETF standards, code is king” stupidity.
