DNSDNS SecurityDNS Security for Healthcare: Controlling Connected Devices and Protecting Patient DataOver the past few years, healthcare organizations have been rapidly moving towards connected devices and cloud, driven by digital transformation projects and accelerated by the pandemic. However, to allow operating with complete trust, cybersecurity solutions need to keep pace with new telehealth/telemedicine technologies adopted which due to their criticality for patient health must be “always on”. Above all, network infrastructure needs to be reliable, connected medical devices have to be controlled in terms of what infrastructure they are allowed to...
DDIDNSDNS SecurityIPAMDDI for Telco: Improving Business Continuity, Operational Efficiency and ScalabilityFor Telecom operators and Internet Service Providers, IP networks are becoming increasingly complex to manage and evolve. Multi cloud, IoT, 5G and other digital transformation projects have introduced “anything-as-a-software”, SD-WAN, NFV and SDN architectures and opened up new usages requiring ultra-low latency. DNS, DHCP and IPAM (known collectively as DDI) are critical technologies for IP networks, and together with automation are mandatory for simplifying management via zero-touch operations, while ensuring service availability and enhancing user experience. EfficientIP’s all-in-one solution integrates...

DNSDNS SecurityThreat Actors Have Grown Smarter in Their DNS Attacks. Here’s How Companies Should Respond…Over the past year–during the COVID-19 pandemic–businesses have accelerated their digital transformation as the pandemic has continued to require off-premise working and online or cloud-based products and services. But digital transformation is not the only area to experience vast change during the pandemic. Our annual report with IDC reveals that attackers have changed their tactics this year, growing more diverse in their methods for abusing the DNS protocol; businesses have had to pivot to smarter methods in order to keep...
DDIDHCPDNSDNS SecurityIPAM5 Reasons to Choose EfficientIP DDIRequirements of today’s IT infrastructure IT infrastructure has become extremely complex and in perpetual evolution to match ever evolving business needs. In addition to planning the needs for building and running new IT and Network services, decommissioning of resources when they are no longer needed, must now be anticipated right from the get go. Obviously, all this must also be performed while ensuring maximum security, high velocity and reliability in the execution. Not conforming to these requirements would lead to...
Application Traffic RoutingDDIIPAMNetwork AutomationVirtualization & CloudSD-WAN: How DDI Simplifies Deployment and OperationsSD-WAN was born as Enterprises needed cheaper bandwidth and more nimble ways of deploying and operating WAN networks especially with the requirements of Digital Transformation. Although SD-WAN delivers on its promises, most solutions on the market do not fulfill all the services that were rendered by traditional MPLS services, like for instance IP Address Management (IPAM). While providing some subsets of its features, SD-WAN solutions lack Integrated DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) as a whole, especially DNS services. And while SD-WAN is protocol...
DDIIPAMVirtualization & CloudDDI for Multicloud: Improving Opex, UX and App DeploymentWhen it comes to handling of new applications and workloads for modern digital infrastructures, multicloud is an unquestionable reality. However, the real value of cloud is being held back by siloed data and manual processes which are both error-prone and time-consuming. Success of hybrid multicloud projects is very much reliant on resiliency, accessibility, security and performance of cloud infrastructures and services. For this, integrating the resources deployed in clouds with a DDI (DNS-DHCP-IPAM) solution is critical, as it brings the...
