The GDPR deadline is fast approaching; how enterprises are preparing

The deadline for compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is May 25, 2018. Many organizations have spent countless hours already in their preparation for the deadline, while other organizations are just getting around to reading up on it.GDPR, like Y2K of a couple decades ago, has international implications that for some organizations HAS to be addressed as GDPR will impact the lifeblood of their operations, whereas for most organizations, some due diligence needs to be done to ensure they are within the compliance of the regulation.GDPR is today’s Y2K I reference Y2K because I was one of the advisors to the United States White House on Y2K and spent the latter part of the decade before the millennium switchover traveling around the globe helping organizations prepare for 1/1/2000. Today with GDPR, as I did then with Y2K, believe there are fundamental things every organization needs to do to be prepared for the deadline, but to NOT get caught up in the hype and over speculation to the Nth degree detail that’ll drive you crazy. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Worth Reading: The observer effect

What is needed in any monitoring system is the ability to increase or reduce the level of polling and data collection as system needs dictate. If you are actively debugging a system, then you probably want to turn the volume of data up to 11, but if the system is running well, you can dial the volume back down to 4 or 5. The volume can be thought of as the polling frequency times the amount of data being captured. —George V. Neville-Neil @ Communications of the ACM

Feds consider tougher requirements for IoT security

A bill submitted this week to the U.S. Senate could be the first step toward fixing IoT security, requiring that device makers who want to do business with the federal government meet basic security standards.The bill mandates that any Internet-connected device provided by government contractors be free from known security vulnerabilities, be able to receive regular software updates, and use up-to-date communications and encryption industry standards.+ALSO ON NETWORK WORLD: IDC: SD-WAN growth is exploding for at least the next 5 years + The 10 most powerful companies in enterprise networkingTo read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

IoT security for healthcare is in critical condition

IoT security is a headache, a mess and several other flavors of annoying for any enterprise, but in healthcare, it can be literally life and death.Compromising any connected device has two main consequences – one is to enlist devices into a botnet, like the security camera-capturing Mirai, and the other is to offer a passage deeper into any infrastructure the device is connected to.+ALSO ON NETWORK WORLD: What is IoT? + Bluetooth Mesh takes aim at enterprise IoT, but hasn’t taken flightTo read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Data center construction increases thanks to the cloud

A new report from a real estate firm that specializes in data center construction and leasing says data center construction in North America is up 43 percent over the same period in 2016, and industry consolidation has driven $10 billion in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) so far. Jones Lang LaSalle just published its report on the North America data center market, highlighting trends such as consolidation, enterprise hybrid cloud, security, and high-performance computing.+ Also on Network World: Ireland the best place to set up a data center in the EU + While construction continues at a record clip, the report also found that absorption of data center space available for lease has returned to normal levels after record leasing in 2016. So many of the cloud providers are still digesting the capacity they picked up last year.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Docker 101: Introduction to Docker webinar recap

Introduction to Docker

Docker is standardizing the way to package applications, making it easier for developers to code and build apps on their laptop or workstation and for IT to manage, secure and deploy into a variety of infrastructure platforms

In last week’s webinar, Docker 101: An Introduction to Docker, we went from describing what a container is, all the way to what a production deployment of Docker looks like, including how large enterprise organizations and world-class universities are leveraging Docker Enterprise Edition (EE)  to modernize their legacy applications and accelerate public cloud adoption.

If you missed the webinar, you can watch the recording here:

We ran out of time to go through everyone’s questions, so here are some of the top questions from the webinar:

­Q: How does Docker get access to platform resources, such as I/O, networking, etc.­ Is it a type of hypervisor?

A: Docker EE is not a type of hypervisor. Hypervisors create virtual hardware: they make one server appear to be many servers but generally know little or nothing about the applications running inside them. Containers are the opposite: they make one OS or one application server appear to be many isolated instances. Containers explicitly must know the Continue reading

History of Networking: Quality of Service with Fred Baker

Some folks over at the Network Collective thought it would be cool to sit around with folks who invented various networking technologies and just talk about the where, why, and how of those technologies were invented. Donald Sharp and I, while not officially a part of the collective, are hosting this new video cast, and the first edition just published.

For this videocast, we’re sitting down with Fred Baker to talk about the origins of Quality of Service. Hopefully we will have Fred on again in the future to talk about Raven and some of the history around network surveillance. You can watch it here, or you can jump over to the main Network Collective site and watch it there.
