BrandPost: The five core components that will drive the next wave of banking innovation

The growth in online banking has been – and will continue to be – rapid. From a valuation of $11.43 billion in 2019, the projections are that it will reach $31.81 billion by 2027, at a CAGR of 13.6%.For the incumbent banking system, this rapid growth poses a real and ongoing challenge, as it has opened the door to unconventional disruption and new competition. Non-banking companies are now able to bring different business models and expertise in customer experience to the financial services sector. New products and services are being adopted enthusiastically by consumers, and indeed, there is the rise of entirely new forms of currency and payments that are changing how we think about money.To read this article in full, please click here

Dennis Jennings and the History of NSFNET

The NSFNET followed the CSNET, connecting the campuses of several colleges and supercomputing systems with a 56K core in 1986. The NSFNET was the first large-scale implementation of Internet technologies in a complex environment of many independently operated networks, and forced the Internet community to iron out technical issues arising from the rapidly increasing number of computers and address many practical details of operations, management and conformance. The NSF eventually became the “seed” of the commercialized core of the Internet, playing an outsized role in the current design of routing, transport, and other Internet technologies.

In this episode of the History of Networking, Dennis Jennings joins Donald Sharp and Russ White to discuss the origins and operation of the NSFNET.

The Evolution of Labbing

A trip down memory lane on how things have changed in labbing from using prehistoric switches bought on eBay through emulators that took longer to configure than the labs to the present day solutions that can programmatically build a multi-vendor lab in minutes. Kids today don’t know they are born…..

What’s the Best Service Mesh Proxy?

The perfect service mesh implementation wouldn’t use a general-purpose proxy, but would instead use a service mesh specific proxy—one that does no more than the mesh needs and that is written in a performant language with strong security guarantees like Rust.

Center for Internet Security: 18 security controls you need

The Center for Internet Security has updated its set of safeguards for warding off the five most common types of attacks facing enterprise networks—web-application hacking, insider and privilege misuse, malware, ransomware, and targeted intrusions.In issuing its CIS Controls V8 this month, the organization sought to present practical and specific actions businesses can take to protect their networks and data. These range from making an inventory of enterprise assets to account management to auditing logs.In part the new version was needed to address changes to how businesses operate since V7 was issued three years ago, and those changes guided the work. “Movement to cloud-based computing, virtualization, mobility, outsourcing, work-from-home, and changing attacker tactics have been central in every discussion,” the new controls document says.To read this article in full, please click here
