Twingate is a network access platform that enables customers to deploy a zero trust authentication layer with their infrastructure as code (IAC) provider of choice. Using this model, you can program strict access control rules that can be updated and co-deployed alongside changes to your infrastructure. Each time a user establishes or closes a connection to a resource, Twingate documents the event with details such as the port, the volume of data transferred, and user identification.
Network traffic monitoring has become critical in today's digital age, where businesses rely on various applications and services to operate. As the amount of data transmitted over networks continues to grow exponentially, network administrators must keep a close eye on the traffic to ensure optimal network performance and security. Network administrators must have a deep understanding of packet flows, collection methods, and analytics to ensure that their networks are secure and performing optimally.
Zero trust isn’t an approach that can be delivered by buying a single product that claims to provide it. Instead, it is an approach that needs to be understood and implemented in complementary ways across an organization’s IT systems. We recently hosted a webinar titled Applying Zero Trust to Data Centre Networks to provide guidance on how organizations can use zero trust to enhance the security of their IT systems. The webinar details are below, after a summary of the topics covered.
Reliable network connectivity is paramount for uninterrupted communication and efficient data transmission. The ping test is a valuable tool to assess network connectivity, identify potential issues, and troubleshoot them effectively. If you're seeking to troubleshoot network issues or test connectivity between hosts, this comprehensive guide offers step-by-step instructions and valuable insights for performing an effective ping command test.
NetFlow is a network protocol that enables devices to report key traffic flow data such as origin, direction, and overall volume.
IT admins are expected to keep the organization’s network reliable and resilient all while the complexity of today’s networks grows. From adopting hybrid infrastructures and maintaining multi-cloud environments’ security to managing ever-increasing bandwidth demands, enterprise network management is getting more difficult by day.
Cybersecurity remains a key concern for any organization. The cost of cybercrime is expected to rise to $8 trillion in 2023 and reach $10.5 trillion by 2025. Various cybersecurity solutions are available, with Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) emerging as one of the most valuable assets when it comes to protecting your interests. We will investigate FWaaS solutions, how they work, how they're different from traditional firewalls, and what benefits they can provide for a range of organizations.
Let's start by simply stating that MPLS is arguably still the leading way to interconnect remote offices back to the company’s primary data centers. MPLS is also great for real-time traffic (like video conferencing). Yet even with those facts working in MPLS’s favor, its usage is dropping year after year. According to TeleGeography’s annual WAN Manager Survey, there was a 24% drop from 2019 to 2020 – and that trend hasn’t slowed down.
