Next Gen. Networks Must Meet Seven Key Challenges To Deliver IoT Services, Security, FMC, Cloud, Network Slices, 5G and Bursty Video

Moore’s Law is running out of steam and faster processing will no longer conceal the problems inherent in today’s networks. Router tables are getting too large and the Scope, Scale and Speed of Networks must increase dramatically. Internet Protocols and Architecture were designed in the era of narrowband networks. In 1978 when TCP was first modified to accommodate “all kinds of network interconnections” data rates on modems were generally 9.6 Kbps and widespread use of Ethernet was several years away. Many problems that have emerged over the last 30 years must now be addressed to deliver the promise of broadband networks for 2017, 5G and beyond.

Securing industrial networks: it’s a journey

Article | May 11, 2023

Trying to secure the industrial network in one go is like boiling the ocean. Better to view it as a journey. At each step in the journey, you’ll make incremental changes to people, process, and technology. Minimal security. This is the current state for most manufacturers. If you’re here, you’ve segmented the industrial network from the IT network. Traffic can’t cross from the IT network to the industrial network without clearing the DMZ. You can block malware from entering the industrial network. You can block malware from leaving the industrial network to infect the enterprise network. But if the industrial network is exposed to malicious software, you don’t have a way to contain it. That means the malware might affect multiple manufacturing cells or production lines — even multiple plants.
