How VMware Protects Organizations with Simply Stronger Security [INFOGRAPHIC]
Every 11 seconds, a new organization falls victim to ransomware. That means by the time you’re done reading these two sentences, your organization could very well become another statistic. In the war against ransomware, there are two cohorts: those who are armed for war and those who will suffer digital casualties. With threats becoming increasingly more agile, it’s up to you to protect your organization’s past, present, and future.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Cybercrime has become a bigger entity than any of us could’ve ever imagined. With over 4,000 attacks every day and $20 billion in damages in 2021 alone, ransomware has become the big business we’ve all feared. Imposing numbers like these make it seem nearly impossible to protect against ransomware – but there is a solution that will strengthen your armor.
Protection Served with Simplicity
We know that shopping for new digital armor can be daunting. But the threat is real, and VMware is not in the business of smoke and mirror solutions. We are, however, in the business of helping enterprises scale out – simply, securely, swiftly. To that end, the VMware Distributed Firewall is a foundational step for many customers strengthening their multi-cloud environments. Enforcing east-west advanced threat protection at each workload, our distributed firewall solution can scale to 20TB+ while coming in at one-third of the cost of other solutions in the industry. Providing support to over 30,000 customers, VMware Security Solutions have consistently been able to stop attackers in Continue reading
Cloudflare Innovation Weeks 2021
One of the things that makes Cloudflare unique is our Innovation Weeks. Rather than having one large conference annually, we have multiple Innovation Weeks throughout the year to highlight new product announcements, beta products opening up to general availability, and share how our customers are using Cloudflare to help build a better Internet.
Internally, these weeks generate a lot of energy and excitement as well, as they provide an opportunity for teams from across Cloudflare to work together on product delivery and celebrate company-wide successes. In 2021, we had seven Cloudflare Innovation Weeks. As we start planning our 2022 Innovation Weeks, we are reflecting back on the highlights from each of these weeks.
Security Week March 21-26, 2021
Patrick Donahue
Security Week kicked off Cloudflare’s 2021 Innovation Weeks with a series of foundational security announcements. The Internet wasn’t built with security in mind, but the products and partnerships announced this week continued Cloudflare’s core mission of helping build a better Internet—one that companies of all sizes can plug into and be protected by default from the types of attacks that have historically resulted in loss of data, computing resources, and customer confidence.
At the start of the week, we took Continue reading

Miniflare 2.0: fully-local development and testing for Workers
In July 2021, I launched Miniflare 1.0, a fun, full-featured, fully-local simulator for Workers, on the Cloudflare Workers Discord server. What began as a pull request to the cloudflare-worker-local project has now become an official Cloudflare project and a core part of the Workers ecosystem, being integrated into wrangler 2.0. Today, I'm thrilled to announce the release of the next major version: a more modular, lightweight, and accurate Miniflare 2.0. 🔥
Background: Why Miniflare was created
At the end of 2020, I started to build my first Workers app. Initially I used the then recently released wrangler dev, but found it was taking a few seconds before changes were reflected. While this was still impressive considering it was running on the Workers runtime, I was using Vite to develop the frontend, so I knew a significantly faster developer experience was possible.
I then found cloudflare-worker-local and cloudworker, which were local Workers simulators, but didn’t have support for newer features like Workers Sites. I wanted a magical simulator that would just work ✨ in existing projects, focusing on the developer experience, and — by the reception of Miniflare 1.0 — I wasn't the only one.
How To Deal With Social Anxiety When Networking?
We all have social anxiety to a certain extent. However, it is entirely normal, and you shouldn’t feel alone. That is because the fear of adverse reactions from people is evolutionary.
In most cases, anxiety can prevent you from enjoying an event. Not only that, but it can prevent you from attending altogether. As a business owner or an artist, networking is essential.
Hence, if you are looking for ways to control your anxiety, you no longer have to. Here is everything you need to know on how to deal with social anxiety when networking.
Tips For Dealing With Social Anxiety When Networking
Here are the top tips that will help you overcome social anxiety while networking:
- Change In Mindset
It is no secret that mindset can have a significant impact on your life. Your perception of anxiety can help you deal with it. One way to have a positive attitude is by being mindful.
Your nerves will calm once you start to accept your social anxiety. By avoiding the things that caused it will not help you. Instead, the fear will grow gradually and have greater power over your decisions.
However, by being mindful and having self-compassion, you can Continue reading

Feedback: Cisco ACI Deep Dive
In 2021, we completed one of the longest ipSpace.net webinars: Cisco ACI Deep Dive (almost 13 hours of content1). One of the participants found it extremely useful:
I really like the technical detail of the webinar and the way it is composed. Mario also does a good job in explaining all the complexity in a clear way without oversimplifying. All the sessions help to build up an understanding on the inner workings of the ACI solution, because they deliver technical details in depth piece by piece.
I also liked his take on the value of this webinar:
I’m always amazed on how much other (offical) training vendors under deliver in their courses that cost thousands of dollars, compared to the real expert level stuff you’ve got here.
Hope you’ll like the webinar as much as he did – you can get it with Standard or Expert ipSpace.net Subscription.
