This is the blog of Ronald Bartels that wanders on and off the subject of problem management (that is how it started). Mostly now the topics are about IoT and SD-WAN.

The Security of SD-WAN
Perhaps we exaggerate, but IT professionals,
especially those involved in telecommunications, should always beware of
anything that's connected to the Internet, as well as services provided
across the Internet. That includes websites, email, cloud-based
applications, and of course, WANs. The bad news is that the wild, unfettered Internet can indeed be a
dangerous place; it's a good thing we have firewalls, universal threat
defense, intrusion prevention systems, heavily encrypted VPNs and
endpoint security to protect us. The good news is that SD-WAN, one of
the fastest-growing technologies for connecting branch offices, data
centers, cloud services and remote locations, are perfectly safe.
Firewalls are becoming increasingly important in today’s world. Hackers and automated scripts are constantly trying to invade your system and use it for Bitcoin mining, botnets or other things. To prevent these attacks, you can use a firewall on your system. IPTables is the strongest firewall in Linux because it can filter packets in the kernel before they reach the application. Using IPTables is not very easy for Linux beginners. We have created easywall - the simple IPTables web interface . The focus of the software is on easy installation and use.

When building a DDoS mitigation service it’s incredibly tempting to think that the solution is scrubbing centers or scrubbing servers. I, too, thought that was a good idea in the beginning, but experience has shown that there are serious pitfalls to this approach.
