DDIDNS SecurityPrivacy LawsData Regulations 2020: Time to Step up Your Data Theft ProtectionToday’s data-driven economy is being led by personal data, so naturally focus is turning more strongly to privacy and protection. New regulations have appeared over the last few years, but 2020 will see a rapid acceleration, particularly in regions such as America and APAC. While it’s only fair that regulators introduce these new laws with their associated fines for data breaches, companies are still finding it extremely challenging to ensure confidentiality of their data. Cybercriminals are smart guys – data...
DDIDNSDNS SecurityDNS Flag Day 2020: Improving Internet DNS SecurityAlthough the DNS protocol is not secured by default, it is mainly used on IP networks as the key element to convert application names to technical addresses. Following the 2019 DNS Flag Day, which targeted protocol compliance on EDNS, the 2020 version will focus on operational and security problems caused by Internet Protocol packet fragmentation. Fortunately, EfficientIP customers will not suffer any issues, as our DNS servers already support the 2020 Flag Day recommendations, complying with standards and RFC. DNS...

DDIDNSDNS SecurityIPAMVirtualization & Cloud2019: The Year That Saw Cost Per DNS Attack Soar Past $1MFor organizations globally, across all industries, cybersecurity was once more one of the hottest topics of the year. The SonicWall report states that in just the first nine months 7.2 billion malware attacks were launched, with IoT malware worryingly increasing by 33% to 25 million. As the frequency of attacks continued to increase, DNS remained a favorite target, as well as an attack vector (91% of malware are using DNS). The IDC 2019 Global DNS Threat Report revealed 82% of...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIDNSIPAMGSLB & Automated Application DeploymentDeployment or migration of applications in multi-cloud infrastructures can be made simpler and faster by using GSLB configuration to connect users to the newly-released app. When automation is used in the context of application continuous deployment, making use of an automated DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution which is capable of also handling applications is really valuable. This is what EfficientIP brings to automation teams with its application repository and its edge DNS GSLB solution. The multi-cloud mix of internal and external infrastructure...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudWhat Smart DDI Means for Hybrid Clouds in Asia PacificThis week’s blog comes to us from our very own Nick Itta, VP Sales APAC. The growth of Asia’s digital economy is happening at breakneck speed, boosted by a high level of interconnected networks comprised of organisations and consumers. With a massive amount of IT infrastructure supporting the backend, organisations are striking a balance between managing data on private IT infrastructure or in public/private clouds, finding a middle ground referred to as the Hybrid Cloud. As business needs evolve given...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationTufin Integration with EfficientIP DDI: Keeping Security Policies Current and ConsistentDigital transformation, cloud deployment and other network evolution projects are providing tremendous value to enterprises by linking people to processes and data. But at the same time, when it comes to keeping infrastructures secure, they add significant complexity. The consequence is that network managers are finding it very challenging to ensure security policies are always accurate & up-to-date, across the entire company footprint. It should be a basic requirement to be able to deploy and make changes to applications and...
DNSDNS SecurityFive Predictions for Asia Pacific DNS Security in 2019This week’s blog comes to us from our very own Nick Itta, VP Sales APAC.With 2018 coming to a close, I’ve engaged with companies and organizations across Asia Pacific, discussing their plans of attack for strengthening cyber security. During these conversations, several recurring themes have emerged, providing some insight into what we can expect in the year ahead. Here are my five predictions for the state of Asia Pacific’s DNS security in 2019: 1. Learning from 2018’s Lessons on Personal...
DDIDNSDNS Flag Day: Notes for EfficientIP Customers and BeyondDNS is one of the foundation protocols of the internet, designed around 1987- which can technologically seem like an eternity based on today’s standards. Since then, context of usage of the internet has changed, and the protocol has evolved to support new features like DNSSEC (see What is DNSSEC) and message size limitations. DNSSEC is used more and more on the internet in order to increase the global security of the system, but some servers or network components are either...
