Mind Your MANRS: A Safer Internet Through Secure Global Routing

We access most of the applications we use today over the internet, which means securing global routing matters to all of us. Surprisingly, the most common method is through trust relationships. MANRS, or the Mutually Agreed Norms for Routing Security, is an initiative to secure internet routing through a community of network practitioners to facilitate open communication, accountability, and the sharing of information.

Network Operator Confidential: Diving Into Our Latest Webinars on DDoS Trends, RPKI Adoption, and Market Intel for Service Providers

Didn’t have time to watch our two recent webinars on the top trends network operators need to know about to be successful in 2023? We’ve got you covered. Let’s look at the biggest takeaways and break down some key concepts.

Modernizing Network Data Analytics With a Unified Data Repository

Analyzing multiple databases using multiple tools on multiple screens is error-prone, slow, and tedious at best. Yet, that’s exactly how many network operators perform analytics on the telemetry they collect from switches, routers, firewalls, and so on. A unified data repository unifies all of that data in a single database that can be organized, secured, queried, and analyzed better than when working with disparate tools.

Why Your Data-Driven Strategies for Network Reliability Aren't Working

What do network operators want most from all their hard work? The answer is a stable, reliable, performant network that delivers great application experiences to people. In daily network operations, that means deep, extensive, and reliable network observability. In other words, the answer is a data-driven approach to gathering and analyzing a large volume and variety of network telemetry so that engineers have the insight they need to keep things running smoothly.

Unlocking the Power of Embedded CDNs: A Comprehensive Guide to Deployment Scenarios and Optimal Use Cases

This guide explores the benefits of embedded caching for ISPs and discusses deployment optimization strategies and future trends in CDN technology. Embedded CDNs help reduce network congestion, save costs, and improve user experiences. ISPs must carefully plan their deployment strategies by considering how each of the CDNs distributes content and directs end-users to the caches. They need to know both the CDNs and their network architecture in detail to build a successful solution.

Data-Driven Defense: Exploring Global Cybersecurity and the Human Factor

A data-driven approach to cybersecurity provides the situational awareness to see what’s happening with our infrastructure, but this approach also requires people to interact with the data. That’s how we bring meaning to the data and make those decisions that, as yet, computers can’t make for us. In this post, Phil Gervasi unpacks what it means to have a data-driven approach to cybersecurity.

NetOps for Application Developers: Understanding the Importance of Network Operations in Modern Development

True observability requires visibility into both the application and network layers. For companies reliant on multi-zonal cloud networks, the days of NetOps existing as a team siloed away from application developers are over.

DataOps Uncovered: A Bold New Approach to Telemetry and Network Visibility

Network telemetry and DataOps play a critical role in enhancing network visibility. By combining both, organizations can improve network visibility and gain insight to help them optimize their network performance, improve security, and enhance the overall user experience.
