Auvik and Cherwell Present: Processes for Managing Your Network

In this webinar, Auvik’s Technology Advocate Steve Petryschuk and Cherwell’s Principal Solution Consultant Ryan Counts walk you through a few critical steps you can take to make network operations more manageable. You’ll learn which two process factors will help you go from reactive to proactive, how to assess your current network management methods using a simple framework, and when to incorporate tools to automate processes.

VPN and Firewall Log Management

The hybrid workforce is here to stay. With that in mind, you should start putting more robust cybersecurity controls in place to mitigate risk. Virtual private networks (VPNs) help secure data, but they are also challenging to bring into your log monitoring and management strategy. VPN and firewall log management gives real-time visibility into security risks. Many VPN and firewall log monitoring problems are similar to log management in general.

How to Reduce Bandwidth Consumption for Your Network?

Do you know who interacts with whom, when, and for how long and how frequently in your network? Network administrators must have clear visibility of bandwidth utilization using a robust bandwidth monitoring tool, to find out slow loading yet crucial connections, to plan out the capacity of network properly or to control the Quality of Service.

Securing Your DNS

When the Domain Name System (DNS) was created in 1983 I imagine its creator Paul Mockapetris and his team had no idea that nearly 40 years later our interconnected world would be so reliant on the very simple, but critical, DNS network service. I have a love-hate relationship with DNS. I love all of the memes I see about how “It’s always DNS”, but I hate that it’s also true—I always forget to check that DNS is working correctly when troubleshooting network issues!

Everything You Need To Know About Data Centre Interconnection

Getting data centre interconnection right is essential for scalable growth and agility. Whether you’re a global enterprise with operations in multiple markets around the world or a SaaS provider looking to roll out in new geographies, data centre interconnection is a key building block for connecting to customers and ecosystem partners. Read on to find out more about.

How to Draw Network Diagrams

Drawing a good network diagram isn’t hard to make, but it can be distressingly rare. Even network engineers with years of experience often draw network diagrams that are jumbled and hard to understand. As a network administrator responsible for the network, it’s vitally important you have a detailed understanding of your network topology. Without this information, even basic troubleshooting can be unnecessarily difficult.

The HAProxy Enterprise WAF

The HAProxy Enterprise WAF with support for ModSecurity rulesets protects your web applications from sophisticated, Layer 7 threats left unhandled by network firewalls. Data breaches. Loss of consumer confidence. An endless cycle of companies being compromised. Not just fly-by-night, sketchy websites either. Large companies—companies that you’d think would do better—are being caught without reliable security measures in place.
