Web application firewalls backed by artificial intelligence and machine learning are beginning to surface as major successes against DDoS attacks and the application DDoS world.| Network World
Wrapping a firewall around the perimeter is no longer sufficient to meet the needs of modern networks. Technologies such as IPS need to be pushed into the network, not just at the edge, but throughout the entire infrastructure.| Network World
Transport-layer security is more effective than its predecessor SSL, and its latest version - TLS 1.3 - improves both privacy and performance.| Network World
Deep packet inspection (DPI) is a technique that has seen success in traffic management, security, and network analysis. It is a technology that performs content analysis of network packets at line speed but is different from header or metadata-based packet inspection, which is typically performed by switches, firewalls, and IDS/IPS devices. A general DPI solution provides deep packet inspection for different applications.| Network World
The future of data centers will rely on cloud, hyperconverged infrastructure and more powerful devices.| Network World
Software-defined wide area networks, a software approach managing wide-area networks, offers ease of deployment, central manageability and reduced costs, and can improve connectivity to branch offices and the cloud.| Network World
