DHCPDNSDNS SecurityIPAMEnhancing IoT Security with DNS CQFIoT devices are popping up every second, with many being on an organization’s network but not always under the control of I&O teams. These devices are required to be identified, inventoried, screened, managed and secured in order not to cause any problems to the rest of the IT ecosystem, the users or the organization itself. This requires tooling and processes where the DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) certainly has an important role to play, in particular EfficientIP’s DNS Client Query Filtering (CQF) feature....
DDIIPAMSimplify IT Operational Management with Identity ManagerThe IPAM is far more than just a repository of IP addresses and subnets. To cope with a wide variety of networking environments, it becomes interesting to store and manage additional objects such as VLANs for example. In order to achieve true visibility between users and their applications, which is by essence what IT is all about, it’s necessary to be able to manage both the applications and the users.
