    HN760: Mitigate IoT/OT Vulnerabilities with Guided Virtual Patching (Sponsored)
    Dec 6 2024
    Today on Heavy Networking, sponsored by Palo Alto Networks, we explore how virtual patching can be used to protect IoT and OT devices. Virtual patching leverages intrusion detection and intrusion prevention, combined with threat research, to block exploits targeting IoT and OT devices. Why would you use virtual patching? When it comes to IoT and... Read more »

    HN 759: Deploying the BGP Monitoring Protocol (BMP) at ISP Scale
    Nov 22 2024
    The BGP Monitoring Protocol, or BMP, is an IETF standard. With BMP you can send BGP prefixes and updates from a router to a collector before any policy filters are applied. Once collected, you can analyze this routing data without any impact on the router itself. On today’s Heavy Networking, we talk with Bart Dorlandt,... Read more »
