An Easy Route To AI-Enhanced Productivity was written by Timothy Prickett Morgan at The Next Platform.
Cloudflare One, our secure access service edge (SASE) platform, is introducing a new integration with Okta, the identity and access management (IAM) vendor, to share risk indicators in real-time and simplify how organizations can dynamically manage their security posture in response to changes across their environments.
For many organizations, it is becoming increasingly challenging and inefficient to adapt to risks across their growing attack surface. In particular, security teams struggle with multiple siloed tools that fail to share risk data effectively with each other, leading to excessive manual effort to extract signals from the noise. To address this complexity, Cloudflare launched risk posture management capabilities earlier this year to make it easier for organizations to accomplish three key jobs on one platform:
Evaluating risk posed by people by using first-party user entity and behavior analytics (UEBA) models
Exchanging risk telemetry with best-in-class security tools, and
Enforcing risk controls based on those dynamic first- and third-party risk scores.
Today’s announcement builds on these capabilities (particularly job #2) and our partnership with Okta by enabling organizations to share Cloudflare’s real-time user risk scores with Okta, which can then automatically enforce policies based on that user’s risk. In this way, organizations can adapt Continue reading
In the previous post, Setting up Active Directory for ISE Lab, we enabled Active Directory Domain Services. The DNS role was also added automatically as part of this process. In this post, we’ll add DHCP to the server.
Go to Server Manager, click Add roles and features. Click Next until you get to Server Roles. Select DHCP Server. This will display a window asking if required services should be installed:
Click Add Features. Click Next until getting to the Confirmation screen. Select Restart the destination server automatically if required. Since this is a lab, it’s OK to restart.
Select Yes. Then Click Install. The installation starts:
After the installation finishes, click Close.
The DHCP role has been added:
Let’s configure two DHCP scopes, one for employees and one for guests. Open the DHCP app, then expand the server and then IPv4. Right click on IPv4 and select New Scope…
This launches the New Scope Wizard:
Give the scope a name and a description:
Click Next. Then configure starting IP, ending IP, and the subnet mask:
Click Next. I’m not adding any exclusions so clicking Next again. Then configure the lease duration, I’m setting it to 1 day instead of Continue reading
The talk will share the results and best practices of a TAM (Telemetry and Monitoring) solution being prepared for deployment at eBay. It leverages OCP’s SAI and open sFlow drop notification technologies as part of eBay’s ongoing initiatives to adopt open networking hardware and community SONiC for its data centers.
This chapter introduces the training model of a neural network based on the Backpropagation algorithm. The goal is to provide a clear and solid understanding of the process without delving deeply into the mathematical formulas, while still explaining the fundamental operations of the involved functions. The chapter also briefly explains why, and in which phases the training job generates traffic to the network, and why lossless packet transport is required. The Backpropagation algorithm is composed of two phases: the Forward pass (computation phase) and the Backward pass (adjustment and communication phase).
In the Forward pass, neurons in the first hidden layer calculate the weighted sum of input parameters received from the input layer, which is then passed to the neuron's activation function. Note that neurons in the input layer are not computational units; they simply pass the input variables to the connected neurons in the first hidden layer. The output from the activation function of a neuron is then used as input for the connected neurons in the next layer. The result of the activation function in the output layer represents the model's prediction, which is compared to the expected value (ground truth) using the error function. The output Continue reading
A question I often get is, how do you get experience in IT? For people trying to break into this industry, what can they do to gain experience? How can they showcase that experience to a potential employer even if they are applying for their first job? Breaking into a new industry can be the most difficult thing, you lack experience and most of all you probably lack a network. Here are my thoughts on how you can gain that experience.
The ROI on university studies will vary depending on if you live in a country like me where studies are financed by tax and there is no tuition, or in a country where it can be very costly. That’s not the argument here, university studies can give some things that is difficult to achieve in any other way. I did three years at a university and here’s why I think it’s really valuable.
Time – Having two or three years of dedicated studies is a luxury you won’t have at any other point in your career. You have a full-time job and trying to learn a new discipline on top of that is going to be much Continue reading
In previous BGP policy lab exercises, we covered several mechanisms you can use to ensure your autonomous system is not leaking transit routes (because bad things happen when you do, particularly when your upstream ISP is clueless).
As you probably know by now, there’s always more than one way to get something done with BGP. Today, we’ll explore how you can use the NO_EXPORT community to filter transit routes.
Click here to start the lab in your browser using GitHub Codespaces (or set up your own lab infrastructure). After starting the lab environment, change the directory to policy/d-no-export and execute netlab up.
As soon as you configure GlobalProtect and go to the monitor tab, you will see hundreds or even thousands of attempts on your firewall's public IP on port 443. While protecting your portal with MFA generally mitigates major concerns, it’s still wise to implement as many security measures as possible. In this blog post, we will look at some simple ways to protect your GlobalProtect deployment.
We will look at the following methods.
Before we proceed, just a quick note on how Intrazone policy works. By default, the firewall comes with two predefined security rules at the very bottom. The Interzone rule denies traffic between two zones that are not matched by a specific policy above.
However, the default intrazone action is to allow, so traffic within the same zone is allowed by default. If someone initiates traffic from the WAN zone to Palo Alto’s public interface in Continue reading
In this roundtable episode of the Hedge, Tom, Eyvonne, and Russ discuss complexity and deployment. Why do some protocols fail to deploy, or require decades, while others deploy quickly?
A while ago, Eric Chou invited me to a friendly chat in his Network Automation Nerds podcast.
The episode was published a few days ago; I hope you’ll enjoy listening to it.
I've tried many note-taking apps like Evernote, OneNote, and Apple Notes, but none really satisfied me, if I'm being honest. I've always wanted something simple, without any over-complication, and either free or cost-effective. Although, I have to admit, at the moment, I'm using an app called 'Bear Notes,' which costs around £2 per month, and I love the app. It's so minimalist and very user-friendly, but it doesn't have a web GUI or an app for Windows. I'm an Apple user, so it's not a big issue.
That being said, I recently stumbled upon another great self-hosted note-taking app called 'Memos' I just couldn't believe that I didn't know about this until very recently. It's so minimalist and has a Twitter-like feed where you can just chuck on any note, links, or even attachments.
If you already have Docker installed, the installation will take just a few seconds. You can use either docker run or docker-compose.
