No agreement as deadline to replace Safe Harbor nears

Two days from their deadline, U.S. and European Union negotiators still have no replacement for the transatlantic data-transfer agreement overturned last year by the EU's top court.The original Safe Harbor agreement enabled companies to store and process EU citizens' personal information in the U.S. in compliance with strict European data protection laws, and its invalidation by the Court of Justice of the European Union last October in a case relating to Facebook's activities has called into question the operations of companies large and small.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Cisco patches authentication, denial-of-service, NTP flaws in many products

Cisco Systems has released a new batch of security patches this week for flaws affecting a wide range of products, including for a critical vulnerability in its RV220W wireless network security firewalls.The RV220W vulnerability stems from insufficient input validation of HTTP requests sent to the firewall's Web-based management interface. This could allow remote unauthenticated attackers to send HTTP requests with SQL code in their headers that would bypass the authentication on the targeted devices and give attackers administrative privileges.Cisco has patched this vulnerability in the 1.0.7.2 firmware version for RV220W devices. Manual workarounds include disabling the remote management functionality or restricting it to specific IP addresses.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Bug Bounties for Network Software

Its a fact that bugs and faults in networking products is not a key issue for customers. Indeed vendors rely on customer testing and deployment to find bugs before declaring their products as fully tested or generally available. I believe this created a process of moral hazard and false incentives. IETF RFC1925  2. The Fundamental Truths – […]

Inside Verizon’s Super Bowl Control Center

With banks of big-screens high along three walls and a huge TV on the fourth, it could be a great spot to watch The Super Bowl. But when the Denver Broncos take on the Carolina Panthers on Feb. 7, the people in this room won't be concerned with touchdowns, running yards and time outs. They'll be analyzing gigabits, latency and capacity to make sure Verizon's cellular network holds up for fans.This is Verizon's Super Bowl command room -- a temporary, purpose-built nerve center in the shadow of Levi's Stadium that pulls in data from permanent and temporary base stations near the site of Super Bowl 50 and the fan area in downtown San Francisco.Organizers predict up to a million people will visit the Bay Area for The Super Bowl, so Verizon has added 46 small cells and 10 macro cells to augment its network.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Free Webinar: Introduction to SDN

Almost exactly two years ago I ran an Introduction to SDN webinar trying to explain what SDN might be. The landscape has changed significantly in the meantime (for example, software/hardware disaggregation is becoming a reality), but SDN remains as meaningless as Cloud and wrapped in many layers of marketing nonsense.

It was clearly time to do a second version of the webinar, and it’s still free thanks to my sponsor NIL Data Communications. All you have to do to attend it is to fill in the registration form.
