Versa delivers zero trust access across the enterprise
Hybrid cloud and hybrid work have changed where and how we access systems, challenging organizations to find ways to secure the enterprise while delivering the best user experience.
While cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions are now widely adopted to secure remote work, they don't deliver the application performance and inline policy enforcement needed for workers at the office.
Smart communities and how they're changing the world [Q&A]
Smart communities and smart cities are set to deliver a number of benefits, including environmental sustainability, reducing the digital divide, and improving people's lives with smarter, personalized and more intuitive services and experiences.
But making them work involves a good deal of technology such as 5G, small cells and distributed antenna systems (DAS), as well as needing partnerships between governments and businesses. We spoke to Brendan O'Reilly, group chief technology officer at BAI Communications to find out more about smart communities and what makes them work.
Why have cloud when you can have supercloud? [Q&A]
There's been a lot of talk about 'supercloud' recently, but what exactly does it mean? And is it the next big thing that's set to disrupt the technology landscape?
We talked to Amir Khan, CEO and co-founder of Alkira, to find out more about supercloud and what it means for the industry.
Advanced search, analytics and AI deliver a smarter infrastructure platform
The use of infrastructure as code to define and deploy network and data center architecture has become increasingly common. Whilst it undoubtedly offers many advantages, it can create challenges too.
Pulumi is launching a new tool that unlocks analytics and search across cloud infrastructure, generates infrastructure as code from natural language prompts, and even enables novel AI-driven infrastructure automation.
Disruptions to eCommerce cost businesses up to $1 million a month
A new survey of retail and consumer brands shows that nearly 40 percent of all respondents suffer customer-impacting disruptions, which cost up to $1 million per month.
The survey, conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Catchpoint, finds 61 percent of respondents say internet disruptions have resulted in lost revenue, while 64 percent report damage to their brand's reputation that led to lack of consumer confidence.
The future of networking: Innovation, transparency and connectivity
As technology continues to evolve, the networking industry is experiencing significant changes that will have a profound impact on businesses worldwide. The key areas where we expect to see developments include innovation driven by the major cloud providers, accelerated connectivity, and the need for transparency into the network.
These trends represent key factors that can enable businesses to drive innovation and competitiveness, even in the face of an increasingly challenging economic environment.
NETGEAR unveils Nighthawk RS700 Wi-Fi 7 router
Most consumers aren't yet on Wi-Fi 6, let alone the newer Wi-Fi 6E, but that isn't stopping manufacturers from pushing things forward even further with Wi-Fi 7. Following TP-Link's lead from late last year, today, NETGEAR unveils its upcoming Wi-Fi 7 router.
Called "Nighthawk RS700," this tri-band Wi-Fi 7 router is powered by a Broadcom BCM6726/3 SoC. There are eight internal antennas, a 10G WAN port, and a 10G LAN port. You also get four Gigabit LAN ports and a USB-A port. And yes, such a cutting-edge router carries a very hefty price tag.
Tackling cloud costs and multicloud networking in a bad economy [Q&A]
It's become common for businesses to use more than one cloud, however, service providers have no incentive to offer unified management tools as they want to keep customers for themselves.
This means enterprises end up relying on multiple tools as their cloud footprint expands which is not only inefficient but can be costly. We spoke to Rod Stuhlmuller, VP of solutions marketing at Aviatrix, to find out how organizations can monitor and control their cloud usage and costs at a time when budgets are coming under increased pressure.
Addressing the challenge of cybersecurity infrastructure fragmentation [Q&A]
When threat actors evaluate a company's attack surface, they're not thinking in terms of organizational silos. They're probing for the right combination of vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and identity privileges.
It follows that security organizations shouldn't be operating in silos either. Defenders risk playing into the hands of attackers as organizations struggle with reactive and siloed security programs. Having a sprawl of point tools generates heaps of fragmented data but offers few insights.
Why air-gapping may not be enough to protect your critical systems
The classic way of preventing critical systems, such as industrial controls, from attack is to air-gap them. That is to say ensure they don't have a connection to the internet.
But while they may not have a web connection they still often require DNS services in order to resolve a company's internal DNS records. New research from Pentera shows that this can provide a weak point to be exploited by attackers.
All you need to know about SASE and SSE but never dared ask [Q&A]
The cybersecurity industry loves a good acronym and in recent times SASE and SSE have been among the ones to grab popular attention.
But in many cases a number of disparate technologies have been patched together to fulfill the promise of a unified solution for securing and accessing the service edge. Often this has occurred through company acquisitions.

Western Europe dominates broadband speed tables
Western European countries take seven of the top ten fastest spots in the world for broadband, with Macau, Taiwan and Japan the only locations elsewhere to make it into the top ten fastest in the world.
The five places with the fastest internet in the world are: Macau (262.74Mbps), the Channel Island of Jersey (256.59Mbps), Iceland (216.56Mbps), Liechtenstein (166.22Mbps) and Gibraltar (159.90Mbps).
Automating networks for whatever comes next [Q&A]
Digital transformation and modernization of IT is sweeping across many organizations at the moment. But one aspect that's sometimes neglected is their impact on networks.
How can enterprises scale their networks to cope with change and what part can automation play in the mix? We spoke to Ernest Lefner, chief product officer at Gluware, and co-founder and former co-chairman of ONUG (Open Network User Group), to find out.
The role of encrypted traffic analysis for threat detection [Q&A]
Everyone is striving to make their systems more secure and in many cases that means adopting encryption in order to protect data.
But the use of encrypted traffic over networks presents a headache for security teams as malicious content can be harder to detect. We spoke to Thomas Pore, director of security products at Live Action, to find out more about the problem and how it can be addressed.
