Working from home is here to stay, increased focus on SD-WAN and zero trust -- network predictions for 2021
After 2020 managed to turn most of the world on its head, making predictions for 2021 might seem to be a bit risky. Plenty of industry experts have been doing so, however, which means that it's time for our usual seasonal round ups of what you can expect to see from the technology world next year.
One of the biggest impacts of 2020's pandemic has been on networks as more people than ever have switched to remote work. Let's have a look at how the industry thinks this will play out in 2021.
How secure SD-WAN can improve security and cut costs [Q&A]
Securing enterprise networks has always been a challenge, but 2020 and the shift to remote working has made it even more so.
Fortunately secure SD-WAN technology can help businesses to deal with the new landscape as well as reducing costs and making strong security accessible to more organizations. We spoke to Mike Wood CMO of Versa Networks to find out more.

Zero trust access, VPN, both? The changing face of remote network access [Q&A]
Virtual private network (VPN), software defined perimeter (SDP), zero trust network access (ZTNA), there are plenty of technologies around for protecting remote access to enterprise networks.
This is an area that's been thrown into sharper focus this year, but what's the best option for keeping remote access secure? We spoke to Scott Gordon, CISSP for Pulse Secure to discuss the value of the different options available.

Synology launches DiskStation DS1520+
How to handle storage is a very tricky business. Some people prefer storing files locally, while others like the convenience of the cloud. Thankfully, you don't necessarily have to choose between the two -- you can sort of get both simultaneously. In other words, you can set up a network attached storage (NAS) device to store your files locally but also access them on the go -- a self-hosted cloud, if you will.
Synology is one of the most trusted names in network storage, and for good reason. Its storage/server devices are very robust -- high-quality and chock full of features. I have personally been testing one recently, and find it a great way to backup files and access media files (Plex server FTW). Today, Synology launches its latest such product. Called "DiskStation DS1520+," it has an impressive five bays. It also has two NVMe PCIe SSD slots for cache.
Attackers can get into a network in 30 minutes
Penetration of a local network takes between 30 minutes to 10 days and in most cases, attack complexity is low, meaning that an attack is within the capabilities of a hacker with basic skills.
Moreover there is at least one easy penetration vector in 71 percent of companies according to the research from Positive Technologies which analyzed the security of corporate information systems and prepared an overview of the most common security flaws and attack methods.
