DDIDNSIPAMNetwork AutomationImproving Operational Efficiency with DDI Automation & Event ForwardingThe DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution is the central point for any IP related information you have on your network, so being able to automatically inform other IT components about any modifications is a must. SOLIDserver proposes such a webhook feature, which we call “Event Forwarding”. It reinforces the central position of the DDI, and in particular the IPAM, for the whole ecosystem, complementing our rich SOLIDserver API engine for automation from the peering tools in order to enhance security, visibility, compliance...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationAutomating Security Compliance with SOLIDServer IPAM and Tufin IntegrationYou can’t secure what you don’t know As we know at EfficientIP, managing security of the IP Infrastructure nowadays is challenging. The move to cloud, deployment of SD-WAN networks and Zero Trust requirements increase complexity by adding new devices and configuration processes. Users are more ubiquitous, application deployment more frequent, hybrid cloud deployments present in most enterprises while threats have never been stronger. This is why we developed our SOLIDserver solution around our IPAM.Tufin is a leading vendor in the...
DDIDNSDNS SecurityApplication Access Control: It All Starts with DNSMost IP communication starts with a DNS query to translate the server name contained in a URL or any application solution into an IP address. Whether it uses TCP or UDP (or any other communication protocol), and whether it uses IP version 4 or 6, the session will be established after the DNS resolution. DNS is at the intent of any application exchange, it can perform value-added actions like securing the communication, filtering predefined destination sites, optimizing the destination or...

Application Traffic RoutingDDIIPAMDNS GSLB for Disaster RecoveryWhile application data controllers (or load balancers) are capable of distributing application traffic towards servers within the data center, a global server load balancing (GSLB) solution enhances this to cover multi-data center strategies. GSLB can also prove valuable for disaster recovery scenarios based on activating dedicated IT resources in a specific spare data center. DNS combined with GSLB offers an easy and efficient way to simplify the required network operations. EfficientIP application repository eases the preparation phase of the IT...
DNSDNS SecurityTackling Cyberattacks on Government with DNS SecurityCyberattacks spare no industry. One popular target for hackers is the Domain Name System (DNS), which can easily be exploited without adequate security measures due to its openness. DNS attacks within the government sphere are particularly dangerous: since governments and their institutions handle extensive amounts of highly sensitive personal information (such as voter and tax data), the repercussions of an attack are vast, making DNS security measures to prevent damages a critical component of any government’s digital infrastructure. With governments...
DDIIPAMNetwork AutomationScalability and Internet Performance: Top Considerations for RetailersThe late ‘90s was really the beginning of the Internet and DNS. The technology was fun to play with, but was really only required if a user was sending emails to someone on the ARPAnet or, later, accessing one of those new web servers. Internally, most companies used a different naming service, such as host tables. Today, nearly every TCP/IP-based network of any size uses DNS as its naming service, and almost all non-trivial applications on those networks rely on...

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...
