The Fat Pipe - All Packet Pushers Pods

What's in store for IPv6 in 2019? What happened--and didn't happen--in 2018? Ed, Scott, and Tom analyze the pace of IPv6 growth around the world over the past year, and offer forecasts for the coming year.

Happy new year! Today's Network Break episode analyzes key themes and tech trends from 2018, and looks ahead on what might influence and affect IT and tech in 2019. Ethan Banks joins as guest prognosticator.

Happy new year! Today's Network Break episode analyzes key themes and tech trends from 2018, and looks ahead on what might influence and affect IT and tech in 2019. Ethan Banks joins as guest prognosticator.

Today's show dives into issues around IT supply chain security and mechanisms such as trusted execution. We examine how they work and how they're implemented, and look at similar measures in routing and switching.

In October 2018, Bloomberg published an article making unsubstantiated claims about a supply chain breach in servers.

The story, which Bloomberg stands by but is widely regarded as wrong, draws attention to a significant issue: our technology infrastructure is undergirded by a global supply chain that could be compromised by malicious actors.

This got me thinking about hardware secure enclaves such as:

* Intel Trusted Execution Technology (Intel TXT )

* Intel Software Guard Extensions (Intel SGX)

* ARM Cryptoisland, which includes features for secure manufacturing, implemented as  Cryptocell

Today’s show dives into issues around supply chain security and related technologies. My guests are Greg Shipley, Deputy Director at Cyber Reboot, an In-Q-Tel Lab; and Justin Wilder, Vice President at In-Q-Tel.

Our conversation aims to:

* Provide a high-level overview of TXT, SGX, etc., and why they matter

* Explore how the market has (attempted) to implement some of these approaches, what has worked, and what hasn’t

* Examine what trusted execution or similar measures look like in the routing and switching world

* Propose some ideas on how to move the whole thing forward

On today's Weekly Show we dive into microsegmentation with our sponsor, Illumio. We discuss how Illumio builds an app dependency map in the data center to inform security policies, and leverages existing controls on hosts and in networking gear to cordon high-value workloads and contain attacks.

When it comes to data center security, gigantic middlebox firewalls can be problematic. You have issue with scale and workload placement, latency challenges, and the potential for pain when you need to upgrade.

A big firewall also isn’t the best tool to deal with east-west traffic inspection, and has limited utility for containing a breach.

Microsegmentation is a relatively new architecture that defines by host or subnet who can talk to whom about what. And it does it with a centralized policy and distributed firewalls. You get manageability, scale, and a reduced attack surface with microsegmentation.

On today’s Weekly Show we dive into microsegmentation with our sponsor, Illumio. We discuss how Illumio works, how it can limit the impact of a breach, and how to deploy and run a microsegmentation architecture at scale.

Our guest is Matt Glenn, VP of Product Management.

In this episode we cover:

* Illumio’s two core elements: the policy compute engine and the virtual enforcement node

* How Illumio builds a live application dependency map to create security policies

* How the platform leverages existing host controls such as IP tables to enforce security policies

* How the product works on premises and in public clouds

* Running Illumio in a brownfield environment

* How Illumio can help you clean up your CMDB
