/in /by

Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks are one of hackers’ favorite methods to render web sites, services that provide internet, and servers unusable. This is why we definitely need to talk about DDoS mitigation.

One of the most commonly used techniques for  S attacks consists in flooding band-width with large volumes of traffic. Although this can also be accomplished by overloading system resources with semi-open connection requests, or likewise, blocking web application services.

DDoS mitigation designates the means and measures adopted by suppliers to attenuate or eliminate the negative effects of a DDoS attack by screening flow, so that only legitimate traffic can come through.

Why is it important to have DDoS mitigation?

As mentioned before, DDoS mitigation is important to avoid losing money due to attacks against our networks. Nevertheless, there are other reasons to consider having this service in your company.

1. Service availability:

During an attack, your site or applications may become intermittent or definitely unavailable to users. DDoS mitigation lets you ensure that your audience may continue using them normally, and this will help your company’s reputation.

2. Business continuity:

When your site, applications, and network functions become unavailable due to an attack, this also means that inside operations may be sidetracked to take care of the problem. Thus, mitigation allows you to maintain the regular operation of the company.

3. Brand Protection:

We’ve already mentioned this before, and that is in the event of an attack, your clients may suffer a bad experience, which could lead to their considering switching to your competition.

4. Peace of mind:

Having an expert team help you with DDoS mitigation, will give you the peace of mind that your company can continue operating normally.

How to choose a DDoS mitigation service?

Before purchasing a risk mitigation service for this kind of attack, it’s important to make sure such service covers various aspects.

First of all, scalability. This means that the solution should adapt to the growth needs of the business and therefore, to the growing scale of DDoS attacks.

Secondly, we need to talk about flexibility. A DDoS mitigation service must be able to adapt to threats in real time and implement policies and rules in consequence.

Thirdly, we must consider reliability, which means that the service needs to function correctly at all times, even when it is only used at specific times. Finally, you need to have an ample network with integral data transfer that will make it possible to analyze attacks and respond immediately.

DDoS Mitigation through the Cloud

NGIN Services can provide DDoS mitigation to keep your company from falling prey to such attacks that can be very annoying and costly.

Either using cloud or managed security solutions, we can monitor activity in your company network. Any time we detect unusual traffic or malicious activity, we direct traffic to a cloud screening system that only lets legitimate traffic through.

Automatización en el futuro de la arquitectura de redes

Automation in the Future of Network Architecture

/in /by

As explained in our previous blog, network architecture thinking towards the future and network simplification, are IT objectives. And in this simplification, automation plays a crucial role.

In network architecture, automation is in fact the process of automating network and network services planning, deployment, operations, and optimization.

At a first level, automation solutions for network architecture move manual tasks and processes to software applications to be completed repetitively and reliable.

The Role of AI and ML

Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have made it possible for advanced network automation solutions to analyze metadata. This in turn allows you to leverage model-based network programming and also to learn network performance to produce predictive analyses and, in this way offer recommendations to operations teams.

In other words, network architecture automation facilitates improvements in operational efficiency reducing the potential for introducing human error. This increases network services availability and, of course, renders better user experiences.

Automation Considerations for Network Architecture

NetOps teams can achieve constant improvement while rapidly responding to increasing network interruptions and threats. To this end, they work through several automation stages:

  1. Repetitive administrative tasks
  2. Network access
  3. Network policy at the business data center
  4. Integral segmentation based on multidomain policies

Today’s automation solutions in network architecture may encompass a wide variety of tasks such as network design and planning, device testing, and configuration verification, supplying services and physical device deployment, in addition to virtual device deployment and supply.

Automation solutions also focus on tasks such as compiling and analyzing data in the network, software updates, network supervision, and so on.

How does automation benefit network architecture?

There’s no question that the switch to the cloud and network architecture  automation will make networks increasingly reliable, safer and with minimal interruptions.

For example, a reduction in the number of common problems can be expected. In other words, the use of work flows with strategies, fewer codes and efficient intention-based closed operations, will make it possible to solve these kinds of errors spontaneously.

Lower costs is another benefit of  network automation. The complexities of underlying infrastructure are considerably reduced requiring less man-hours to complete tasks such as services and network configuration, supply, and administration.

In addition to these benefits there is also better network endurance and reduced idle time, plus an increase in strategic work force with better perspective and control.  Automation will benefit your organization for sure.

NGIN Services offers an automation solutions and product portfolio that focuses on network architecture to maximize the resources of your business. Contact us.

Arquitectura de redes: Pensando hacia el futuro

Network Architecture: Thinking towards the Future

/in /by

The digital world and information technologies (IT) will not stop evolving. Population growth and digital connections have also brought about growth in demand for network architecture to support these advancements.

The COVID-19 pandemic left us important lessons in this regard. Distance learning, wider use of applications, business websites, and the need for distance working are just some of the things that have led us to reflect on where internet, networks and IT collaborations are headed.

One of the most interesting things about the future of network architecture is simplification.

Network simplification has to do with greater automation and increasingly intuitive processes that at the same time facilitate interconnections between devices and people.

Trends for a New Network Architecture

Network simplification needs to be analyzed according to the different trends expected to make it possible. A few of them appear below.

  • A Collaborative and Automated World:

Every day there are more devices, processes and connections that in turn increase the number of interactions among themselves and with humans. In other words, we have a cyber-physical system that generates more data every day. Soon this system will generate information constantly with sensors, computing capacity, and autonomous operation.

These systems, in turn, may complement information from their sensors with data from other devices in the same environment and in so doing will establish better communication between them.

  • Flexibility for the Labor Force:

Covid-19 showed us that working remotely is possible and that far from affecting business activities, it can result in many advantages. Nevertheless, a few requirements need to be met to complete the transition to working remotely, particularly in the field of security.

Although network architecture makes possible to operate away from a hub such as an office, it is also true that using personal devices and connections can make us more vulnerable to attacks.

  • Smart Connections among Devices:

Network simplification  cannot be understood without this concept. Actions that machines or devices can perform on their own thanks to voice recognition, por example, make them increasingly common and robust.

  • AI Enabled Operations:

Modern networks are undoubtedly growing in complexity and have greater scalability, a trend that will surely continue.  Network architecture  must therefore leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) driven analyses to create smarter ideas.

So, for example, we could have network architecture to consolidate network security, reliability and privacy, while at the same time it constantly monitors network performance and takes preventive action to mitigate risks.

Another aspect leading to network simplification lies in leveraging AI and Machine Learning in order to automatically manage with minimal human intervention.

NGIN Services is ready to help your business move towards the future with solutions based on network architecture that will allow your business to operate smoothly while remaining interconnected with the network and various devices.

¿Por qué es fundamental la simplificación de redes desde la nube?

Why is network simplification through the cloud fundamental?

/in /by

Do you want your business operations to be not only successful, but “accurate?” In this article learn about all the benefits of starting to simplify your network through the cloud. Let’s go!

According to IDC it was estimated that in 2021 cloud infrastructure would grow 26.7% in Latin America alone. This represents a challenge for all IT departments: management, administration, and network simplification through the cloud. This makes it highly relevant to have robust solutions, that not only provide solutions in the cloud, but also have a resources manager.

Why is network simplification fundamental?

With growing infrastructure in the cloud, networks will become more difficult to manage. In other words, larger numbers of users and operations, will make superior network management and monitoring fundamental.

Today it is possible to access the web from cellphones, tablets and portable devices, but managing so many devices becomes a complex issue. This complexity will result in new issues for the IT team such as:

  • Agility problems. Managing so many devices and networks requires more time to adapt to changes and implement new applications.
  • Scalability Limitations. When suppliers and services become less flexible to respond to new markets, they miss business opportunities.

Network simplification through the cloud will minimize these problems. 

How do we simplify networks?

By converging networks and automating processes. Network convergence is accomplished by means of a policy in which cable, wireless, and virtual networks converge in a single network. Meanwhile, automation, as implied by the word, has to do with automating processes. This represents a great window of opportunity because IT teams devote 80% of their time to repetitive tasks. The challenge lies in identifying which processes need to be automated first to begin with network simplification through the cloud. As such it’s a good idea to begin with those repetitive processes using implementation tools without user intervention and software defined networking (SDN).

Constant network monitoring es extremely valuable to identify where performance is degraded. This will allow us to determine simple solutions to lighten administrative burdens and obtain relevant operational savings.

Would you like to start with network simplification through the cloud for your business? The key is development architecture

Cloud infrastructure will bring new challenges that your IT team will need to manage. A development architecture of the kind NGIN Services has to offer, will allow you to simplify your networks in the cloud. This is possible because our architecture has SDN network packaging and traffic optimization tools.
