IPv4 to IPv6 transition best practices provides a framework for organizations navigating the shift from IPv4 to IPv6. Challenged faced over the urgency of the transition due to IPv4 address exhaustion and recommends a phased approach using Dual Stack configurations for simultaneous support of both protocols. The page covers essential steps such as assessing existing infrastructure, updating network components, and training IT staff, all aimed at ensuring a smooth and efficient migration while maintaining network stability.
The recent Falcon Sensor update issue from CrowdStrike highlights the urgent need for improved operational oversight and mitigation strategies in cybersecurity. Key lessons include the importance of rigorous controls and monitoring of update processes, comprehensive audits to identify and address vulnerabilities, simplification of update procedures to reduce failure points, and the development of rapid response protocols for swift recovery from disruptions. Implementing these strategies can enhance system reliability and minimize the impact of similar incidents in the future.
Incidents of network outages due to DNS cloud misconfigurations represent a recently growing proportion of DNS-related incidents due to the expanding use of cloud services. The issue consists of known variables and can be mitigated with proactive network audits, vigilant monitoring, proactive security measures, and ongoing education to mitigate risks effectively.
To incorporate the Zero Trust framework into DNS networking, organizations must implement robust security controls and principles that verify and authorize every access attempt, regardless of its source, before granting access. Below are some steps that organizations must take to incorporate the Zero Trust approach into DNS networking:
Cybercriminals now adopt a strategic approach to steal data by infiltrating systems and collecting sensitive information without triggering alarms, waiting until quantum computing becomes accessible to use this data. This poses a significant challenge for traditional cybersecurity measures, requiring a proactive and adaptive approach to safeguard digital assets.
Massive investment has been pouring to startups and bell weather companies in a span of a few months prompted the Biden's executive order on AI guidelines which emphasizes a national strategy that would promote American innovation via the initiatives that train and prepare the American workforce for jobs in AI and related fields, with strong focus on ethical considerations. Infrastructure elements such as DNS should also benefit.
The growing adoption of the IETF standardized DNS encryption with DNS over HTTPS (DoH) and DNS over TLS (DoT) is helping to stop onlookers and third-party eavesdropping on the end users.
With more mixed cloud service environments being offered, network experts and system administrators are dealings with ever more complex networking and system demands. End-to-end service delivery is the key. Effective DevOps/service management will assure that both application development and deployment can work together to meet the end user demand.
Applied Expert Systems, Inc. (AES) is pleased to announce the availability of BlockChainView, DockerView, and IDSView to offer realtime details in blockchain transactions details, performance monitoring of Docker/Container deployment, plus enhancing mainframe security with IDS monitoring and diagnosis help.
LinuxONE and Linux on z Systems appear to be the best platforms for applications powered by Hyperledger Fabrics because of their reliability, security and performance. With the recent announcement of Docker EE support, LinuxONE and Linux on z Systems are even better positioned to be the platforms for the blockchain infrastructure.
Containers share the operating system and you can think them as "mini operating systems" in your Linux host OS. Container can pre-package any applications with portability. With more containers being deployed in production, monitoring tools also need to provide container level of details.
Digital transformation will continue to drive changes in IT during 2017. AI and advanced machine learning will lead the way with a continued emphasis on more intelligent applications and IOT. Open Cloud based on virtualization will be a significant base upon which technologies like Blockchain, Distributed Ledgers, and conversational systems will grow. IT service based architecture will allow mesh apps based on Docker technology to bring forth a new digital technology platform. Security will continue to solidify around an adaptive architecture.
When evaluating applications to move to a LinuxONE virtualized environment there are several characteristics that lead to a successful deployment. Be sure and analyze historical data over extensive over extensive periods of time. Look at a wide variety of dates and times in order to expose any time related inconsistencies that may impact a decision to move an application. Use this historical information to set up your core baselines which will be critical to set appropriate alerting thresholds for real time metrics. Once the applications are deployed on the LinuxONE server CleverView for TCP/IP on Linux can continue to monitor these same applications in real time to alert appropriate staff members of exceptions.
