How to wrangle meaning from Internet of Things data

This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach.

The Internet of Things (IoT) promises to produce troves of valuable, fast moving, real-time data, offering insights that can change the way we engage with everyday objects and technologies, amplify our business acumen, and improve the efficiencies of the machines, large and small, wearable and walkable, that run our world.

But without careful, holistic forethought about how to manage a variety of data sources and types, businesses will not only miss out on critical insights, but fall behind the status quo. Here’s how to get prepared to wrangle and extract meaning from all of the data that’s headed your way:

We don’t need more InfoSec analysts: We need analysts to train AI infrastructures to detect attacks

This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach.Everyone says there is an information security talent gap. In fact, some sources say the demand for security professionals exceeds the supply by a million jobs. Their argument is basically this: attacks are not being detected quickly or often enough, and the tools are generating more alerts than can be investigated, so we need more people to investigate those alarms.Makes sense, right?Wrong.We believe that, even if companies aroaund the world miraculously hired a million qualified InfoSec professionals tomorrow there would be no change in detection effectiveness and we would still have a “talent gap.” The problem isn’t a people issue so much as it is an InfoSec infrastructure issue.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

By 2020, your Wi-Fi-connected car will pay for parking, gas

Wi-Fi communications in vehicles, whether from the factory or in aftermarket devices, will increase from 6.9 million per year in 2015 to 61 million per year in 2020 -- and this will usher in a new era of consumer services and applications, according to a new report from Gartner.Over the next four years, the total number of connected cars and trucks will reach 220 million, a number that will drive a huge uptick in the delivery of digital content, such as streaming music and video, navigation and location-based services.Connected vehicles increasingly will be able to direct drivers to, and pay for, parking spaces, fuel and other services, and the technology will eventually enable increased levels of automated driving, Gartner's report stated.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Traffic Control: Live Demo

CC BY 2.0 image by Brian Hefele

Cloudflare helps customers control their own traffic at the edge. One of two products that we introduced to empower customers to do so is Cloudflare Traffic Control.

Traffic Control allows a customer to rate limit, shape or block traffic based on the rate of requests per client IP address, cookie, authentication token, or other attributes of the request. Traffic can be controlled on a per-URI (with wildcards for greater flexibility) basis giving pinpoint control over a website, application, or API.

Cloudflare has been dogfooding Traffic Control to add more granular controls against Layer 7 DOS and brute-force attacks. For example, we've experienced attacks on cloudflare.com from more than 4,000 IP addresses sending 600,000+ requests in 5 minutes to the same URL but with random parameters. These types of attacks send large volumes of HTTP requests intended to bring down our site or to crack login passwords.

Traffic Control protects websites and APIs from similar types of bad traffic. By leveraging our massive network, we are able to process and enforce rate limiting near the client, shielding the customer's application from unnecessary load.

To make this more concrete, let's look at a Continue reading

Worth Reading: What is segment routing?

Do you remember source routing, used in token ring bridging networks? If you’re relatively new to networking, you may not know about it. In source routing, the hosts determine the path to take through the network and build a frame header that specifies the forwarding nodes that the frame should pass through as it goes from source to destination. The token ring implementation typically used special frames called explorer packets to discover the set of paths from source to destination. Too many explorer packets could cause overloading problems with the network nodes (source route bridges) and with the hosts that had to process them, much like a broadcast storm in Ethernet networks. —Netcraftsmen

Android malware that can infiltrate corporate networks is spreading

An Android malware is spreading across app stores, including Google Play, and has the capability of stealing sensitive files from corporate networks.DressCode, a family of Android malware, has been found circulating in at least 3,000 Trojanized apps, security firm Trend Micro said on Friday.DressCode hides itself inside games, user interface themes, and phone optimization boosters. It can also be difficult to detect because the malicious coding only makes up a small portion of the overall app.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Softbank chief explains why Steve Jobs inspired the ARM purchase

By any measure, Softbank is one massive conglomerate. It owns all or a chunk of Sprint, Vodaphone, ARM Holdings and Alibaba Group, among its many investments. The ARM deal was perhaps the oddest, and most expensive at $32 billion. The claim at the time of the purchase was it would give Softbank a window into the Internet of Things (IoT). But according to Softbank’s CEO, the reasoning goes back much further.Founder and CEO Masayoshi Son told Nikkei Asian Review that he'd had his eye on ARM for more than a decade, and it was due to a meeting with the late Steve Jobs.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Unix tips: Saving time by repeating history

Getting work done faster on the command line is one of the never changing goals of Unix sysadmins. And one way to do this is to find easy ways to reuse commands that you have entered previously – particularly if those commands are complex or tricky to remember. Some of the ways we do this include putting the commands in scripts and turning them into aliases. Another way is to reissue commands that you have entered recently by pulling them from your command history and reusing them with or without changes. The easiest and most intuitive way to reissue commands is by using the up and down arrows on your keyboard to scroll through previously entered commands. How far back you can scroll will depend on the size of your history buffer. Most people set their history buffers to hold something between 100 and 1,000 commands but some go way beyond that. Hitting the up arrow 732 times might try your patience, but there are are fortunately easy ways to get what you need without wearing out your finger tip! To make this post a little easier to follow, I'm using a modest HISTSIZE setting. You can view your Continue reading

Amazon Gets Serious About GPU Compute On Clouds

In the public cloud business, scale is everything – hyper, in fact – and having too many different kinds of compute, storage, or networking makes support more complex and investment in infrastructure more costly. So when a big public cloud like Amazon Web Services invests in a non-standard technology, that means something. In the case of Nvidia’s Tesla accelerators, it means that GPU compute has gone mainstream.

It may not be obvious, but AWS tends to hang back on some of the Intel Xeon compute on its cloud infrastructure, at least compared to the largest supercomputer centers and hyperscalers like …

You will be using mobile VR and AR in two years—even if you don’t believe it

Casual mobile virtual reality (VR) will eat the world when Google announces its Daydream VR platform with its six hardware partners in October. Within two years, millions of consumers will become accustomed to using augmented reality (AR) and VR, casually, like they use GPS and voice to text now because there will be a VR app for that—whatever that is. Extending VR into the mobile app ecosystem will produce VR use cases that haven’t dawned on the average consumer.+ Also on Network World: Google Daydream is a contrarian platform bet on mobile virtual reality +To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
