Since the beginning of networks, the lynchpin of network security has been the firewall. The first network firewalls appeared in the late 1980s, and gained almost universal acceptance by the early 1990s. So what is a Firewall as a Service and why do you need it? What is FWaaS, and Why Do You Need It?

In addition to protecting personal messages with end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp empowers users to control their own privacy settings: from what you share, how you show up online, or who can reach out to you or add you to groups. In end-to-end encrypted messengers like WhatsApp, clients are the source of truth.

MPLS security is based on the fact that it is a private network vs. the public Internet. The private nature of MPLS allowed an organization to not encrypt MPLS traffic, a big benefit in terms of encryption key management and required CPE (customer premise equipment) capabilities. Security is networking. Is MPLS Secure?

Traditionally, Wide Area Networks (WANs) and network security were loosely coupled entities. Networking teams focussed on the connectivity between locations; security teams focussed on protecting against malware threats and other external or application-layer security issues. This requires a shift in our security models.

SD-WAN is forcing network architects to rethink their network security design in the post-MPLS era. The Internet Challenge for MPLS and Hybrid WAN Traditionally, MPLS was always considered a private network. This had two ramifications: many enterprises did not encrypt their MPLS connections or inspected MPLS traffic for threats.

Traditional hub-and-spoke networking has enterprises backhauling WAN traffic from branches over MPLS circuits to a central site and applying security policies before sending the traffic to the cloud or the public Internet. All PoPs are interconnected using fully-meshed, encrypted tunnels to protect traffic once it is on the network.

Back in the 1990s, NetFlow was introduced on Cisco routers as a means to collect information about IP network traffic as it enters or exits an interface. Since then, network flows have been one of the best ways to gain insight into traffic. It’s pretty much impossible to block HTTP and HTTPS ports at the firewall.
