Cisco Enterprise Network Functions Virtualization

Network functions virtualization (NFV) is becoming the next disruptive wave in networking. NFV is an architectural approach that focuses on decoupling individual services such as Network Address Translation (NAT), access control lists (ACL), quality of service (QoS), Layer 3 routing, intrusion prevention and intrusion detection systems (IPS and IDS), and more from the underlying hardware platform. Allowing such functions to run inside virtual machines, on top of standard x86 resources, increases the deployment flexibility in the network. NFV is typically accompanied by software-defined networking (SDN) approaches (network controllers and orchestration) to offer automation and rapid service deployment of networking functions.Therefore, it promises to significantly contribute to network operating expenditure (OpEx) reductions.The APIC-EM with Cisco Prime Infrastructure (APIC-EM/PI) support provides the controller and monitoring functionality for Cisco Enterprise NFV.

Zero Trust Maturity Model

whitePaper | June 13, 2023

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) leads the nation’s effort to understand, manage, and reduce cybersecurity risk, including by supporting Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies in evolving and operationalizing cybersecurity programs and capabilities. CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) provides an approach to achieve continued modernization efforts related to zero trust within a rapidly evolving environment and technology landscape. This ZTMM is one of many paths that an organization can take in designing and implementing their transition plan to zero trust architectures in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 14028 “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” § (3)(b)(ii),1 which requires that agencies develop a plan to implement a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). While the ZTMM is specifically tailored for federal agencies as required by EO 14028, all organizations should review and consider adoption of the approaches outlined in this document.

Cloud Security Survey 2023: Infrastructure Protection Best Practices

whitePaper | September 29, 2022

In the post-pandemic world, we spread data everywhere. As remote and hybrid workforce models become the norm, multi-cloud deployments evolve into the de facto computing standard for distributed workloads. This expands the attack surface well beyond the walls of a traditional data center and overextends already understaffed security teams. As a result, organizations struggle to combat the growing number of insider and outsider threats targeting their invaluable digital assets.
