Companies want simplicity and security, so “I don’t think building virtual networks on top of the networks we already have is the way to go,” said 128 COO Patrick
The new security tool it built analyzes data across 150 sources. It then uses machine learning to predict the likelihood a vulnerability will be exploited in the next 28
Cisco discovered a number of vulnerabilities affecting devices that connect to its SD-WAN software. This includes one critical security flaw to its vController software.
The latest flaw was coincidentally announced on the same day as the latest version of Kubernetes was released. Project members said security concerns do not impact the release cycle.
It affects all Kubernetes-based products and services, and it gives hackers full administrative privileges on any compute node being run in a Kubernetes cluster.
“If you have an IoT device and it has any vulnerability and it’s visible from the Internet, it will be attacked in a number of minutes,” said Kevin McNamee,
