[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] It's often said that complexity is the enemy of cybersecurity because complex systems have inherent risks that are hard to predict. Some of the most complex systems are the satellites, probes and manned space vessels that are growing in number on an almost daily basis. Precision engineering and custom embedded computing and communications [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] With the year coming to a close, making 2019 predictions isn't much of a stretch. Here's what we're seeing in a few areas to look for in 2019. The Network Any predictions of network technology direction have to include Cisco, and for Cisco the future isn't as much in hardware as software. Software-defined [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] For network admins, the pending influx of IoT devices is still far enough away (maybe?) that much is unsure about how it will all work. Some are concerned about security risks of billions of additional endpoints on the network. Others see new, untested 5G networks shouldering the burden of data transport. Still others [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] As Washington scrambles to keep up with cyber threats, a bill codifying the Department of Homeland Security's National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) into law moves from congress for a presidential signature. Texas District 10 congressman and House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul sponsored the bill which passed the house in 2017. [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] Getting high marks for effective educational networks is more difficult every year as students bring more devices with them to school. A recent study showed that 60% of faculty, students and IT professionals use four or more devices on campus, driving up network activity. Infoblox conducted a global survey on the state of [...]
[fsn_row][fsn_column width="12"][fsn_text] Maritime cybersecurity follows a trend: larger companies are both more likely to be prepared for an event and more likely to be targeted. But a survey of senior maritime executives shows many medium and small companies are great risk of cyber attacks. The survey, conducted by US-based law firm Jones Walker, polled 126 [...]
