Check Point’s mid-year report on cyber attack trends found that in 2018 new (and old) strains of malware are attacking cloud environments, mobile devices, and other burgeoning technologies.
EMA Senior Analyst Shamus McGillicuddy says this deal has less to do with Broadcom's technology strategy and everything to do with money.
Sift’s product, Cloud Hunter, uses machine learning, analytics, and graph visualization capabilities to detect and respond to threats across infrastructure-as-a-service platforms.
A former Huawei employee says he was fired for refusing to use a fake company name to gain access to the private TIP gathering. Huawei says this is just a labor dispute, and the claims are groundless.
According to the 2018 CIO Survey many organizations are having trouble finding and retaining talent with the necessary skillset to fill positions related to some of today’s most popular and cutting edge technologies. Organizations point to education program’s inability to keep up with rapid changes in modern technology, as well as a general high demand for certain positions as the culprit (Florentine).
Luckily, at INE we add new courses every week on a variety of topics, including those that are considered among the newest and most cutting-edge. Continue Reading to see which IT jobs the CIO report has dubbed the highest in-demand.

Over at the CIMI blog, Tom Nolle has a mixed bag of sayings and thoughts about the computer networking world, in particular how it relates to the media. Some of these were interesting enough that they seemed worth highlighting and writing a bit more on.
“News” means “novelty”, not “truth”. In much of the computer networking world, news is what sells products, rather than business need. In turn, Novelty is what drives the news. The “straight line” connection, then is from novelty to news to product, and product manufacturers know this. This is not just a vendor driven problem, however; this is also driven by recruitment, and padding resumes, and many other facets of the networking nerd culture.
On the other hand, novelty is never a good starting place for network design. Rather, network design needs to start with problems that need to be solved, proceeds by considering how those problems can be solved with technologies, then builds requirements based on the problems and technologies, and finally considers which products can be used to implement all of this at the lowest long term cost. This is not to say novelty is not useful, or is not justified, but rather that Continue reading
Site Reliability Engineering is a concept that the networking world is coming to terms with. At Interop ITX 2018, Network Collective took the opportunity to sit down with Michael Kehoe to get his take on how SRE concepts can improve network operations.

VMware Continues as a Visionary in 2018 Gartner Data Center Networking Magic Quadrant
We are excited to announce that for the fifth year in a row, VMware has achieved the position of visionary in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Center Networking, which is defined as…understanding where the data center market is going and having a vision for changing market rules.
Five Years! That’s a long time in technology! During that time, we’ve all seen the rise of public cloud providers and massive shifts in cloud constructs and cloud management platforms. Application development trends have gone from monolith to virtual machines to containers and micro-services to serverless functions and events. Application components are getting smaller, datacenter edges are disappearing, management platforms are becoming more flexible and the basic requirements of networking and security have remained the same…connect and protect applications and data. Only applications and data are now constantly changing with agile development practices and multi-cloud strategies…and the VMware networking portfolio is evolving to make sure they stay connected and protected!
For evidence, look at our recently announced vision for the Virtual Cloud Network.
The foundation of that vision for a networking industry transition to software was started by VMware with virtual switching, expanded into the data center with the groundbreaking VMware NSX network virtualization platform, and is now powering software-based networks from data center to cloud to branch to edge for our enterprise and service provider customers. We’ve led this transition by defining network virtualization; by creating an entire industry movement around micro-segmentation; and by continually evolving NSX capabilities to provide advanced Continue reading
In June, we launched the Internet Intelligence microsite (home of this blog), featuring the new Internet Intelligence Map. As the associated blog post noted, “This free site will help to democratize Internet analysis by exposing some of our internal capabilities to the general public in a single tool. …. And since major Internet outages (whether intentional or accidental) will be with us for the foreseeable future, we believe offering a self-serve capability for some of the insights we produce is a great way to move towards a healthier and more accountable Internet.”
While we will continue to share information about Internet disruptions and events as they occur via @InternetIntel, we also plan to provide a monthly roundup in a blog post, allowing readers to learn about Internet disruptions and events that they may have missed, while enabling us to provide additional context and insight beyond what fits within Twitter’s character limit.
In the past, countries including Iraq, Syria, and Ethiopia have implemented partial or complete national Internet shutdowns in an effort to prevent student cheating on exams. This past month saw Iraq implement yet another round of Internet shutdowns, and Algeria began Continue reading
