Brian Shannon - VP Product — Mon, 07 Aug 2023 21:54:59 GMT

Regardless of the elapsed time of a security breach, the fact is that one day is far too long, and by the time a breach is detected. Data is often compromised during the initial breach.

Organizations need a more intelligent approach to detect threats earlier and turn the tide against sophisticated cyberattacks.

5G and Beyond – Stout Network Security Becomes Imperative

markw@interfacemasters.com (Richard Lu) — Wed, 04 Aug 2021 01:43:52 GMT

5G is the latest iteration on the International Telecommunication Union’s (ITU) high speed, wireless Wide Area Network (WAN) standard. The new networking option boosts performance, lowers latency, and more easily supports edge devices than its predecessors. However, the emerging WAN is not perfect, and its security features are one area that OEMs need to examine as they map out their 5G plans.

SD-WAN and Cloud Computing - The Criticality of Securing Your Network

Brian Shannon - VP Product — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 09:33:16 GMT

Designing and building a secure network requires smart, informed decisions and knowing the network’s risks. For some, securing a network drives them to paralysis by analysis. Too much analysis, overthinking and input to the point where nothing has been clearly secured. The decisions that go into securing a network today are complex with additional infrastructure, software or vendor requirements needed than were just a couple of years ago. In fact, just a few years ago most network data was secured behind a firewall - today more than 48% of business data is stored in the cloud (statista.com 2019). Threats have reached critical mass – it’s now more important than ever to secure your critical network data.

COUNTDOWN TO IEC 62368-1

Brian Shannon - VP Product — Tue, 13 Oct 2020 13:55:43 GMT

The countdown is here for IEC 62368-1, the safety standard for Information Technology Equipment and Audio/Video Equipment. If you have not started your planning, do so. There is a lot of information to read through and little time before the deadline. 62368-1 is the standard intended to replace IEC 60950-1 and IEC 60065. A hazard-based, performance-oriented standard, it requires mandatory product certification for most manufacturers by December 20, 2020. On this date, any product covered by the scope of 62368-1 must be tested in accordance with that standard.

Tamper-Evident, Intrusion-Resistant Networking Solutions (FIPS 140-3)

Brian Shannon - VP Product — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 15:16:19 GMT

News regarding security breaches is broadcast almost every day. Unfortunately, it is now likely an unauthorized entity will gain access to an organization’s data. The Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 140-3 (FIPS 140-3) is a US Government Standard with a goal addressing such a security vulnerability and rendering proprietary data unusable should an unauthorized individual or entity get physical access to an organization’s computing hardware.
