	How cellphone calling is going all Internet It isn't just wireline voice calls that are shifting to IP. Voice calls over wireless mobile phones are too, in a big way.

Security professionals must evolve their strategy in lockstep to confront these advanced threats before, during and after attacks.

With so many vendors claiming to have a Next Generation Firewall (NGFW), it can be difficult to tell what makes each one different. John Pescatore of SANS Institute originally coined the phrase and now explains what he suggests enterprises look for when considering alternative NGFW solutions. Learn more >> Cisco revamps CCNP for IoT, other market transitions There’s no company in technology that’s taken advantage of market transitions more often than Cisco. In almost every presentation that CEO John Chambers gives, he opines about how catching market transitions at the right time has been the primary vehicle for Cisco’s growth over the past few decades. In fact, one of my key research principals is that significant share gain can only be achieved during moments of market transition. For example, had Cisco tried to enter the legacy PBX market, I’m not sure they would have had any success. However, they hit the shift to VoIP at the right time and now they’re the market leader in telephony.Catching market transitions has more to do with products, though. It’s about creating an ecosystem of support around the products. Cisco’s certification program is the best in the industry and has created an army of engineers that understand how to build networks “the Cisco way.” One of the staple certifications is the Cisco Certified Network Professional (CCNP), which is a stepping stone towards the highly coveted Cisco Certified Internetworking Engineer (CCIE).To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More 25G driving Ethernet switch market to $25B It's not here yet but it'll be a big seller when it is, says Dell'Oro Read More WHITE PAPER: Riverbed Technology How WAN Optimization Helps Enterprises Reduce Costs If you wanted to break down innovation into a tidy equation, it might go something like this: Technology + Connectivity = Productivity.

That's if a bunch of researchers promoting network coding have their way.

Merlot drinking VCs, cybersecurity business wonks, “beautiful mind” academics, and tattooed hackers – my kind of crowd!  As such, we aren’t likely to hear much about NIST frameworks, GRC, or CISO strategies.  Alternatively, I am looking forward to deep discussions on: Advanced malware tactics.  Some of my favorite cybersecurity researchers will be in town to describe what they are seeing “in the wild.”  These discussions are extremely informative and scary at the same time.  This is where industry analysts like me learn about the latest evasion techniques, man-in-the-browser attacks, and whether mobile malware will really impact enterprise organizations.  The anatomy of various security breaches.  Breaches at organizations like the New York Times, Nordstrom, Target, and the Wall Street Journal receive lots of media attention, but the actual details of attacks like these are far too technical for business publications or media outlets like CNN and Fox News.  These “kill chain” details are exactly what we industry insiders crave as they provide play-by-play commentary about the cybersecurity cat-and-mouse game we live in. Threat intelligence.  All of the leading infosec vendors (i.e. Blue Coat, Cisco, Check Point, HP, IBM, Juniper, McAfee, RSA, Symantec, Trend Micro, Webroot etc.) have been offering threat intelligence for years, yet threat intelligence will be one of the major highlights at Black Hat.  Why?  Because not all security and/or threat intelligence is created equally.  Newer players like BitSight, Crowdstrike, iSight Partners, Norse, RiskIQ, and Vorstack are slicing and dicing threat intelligence and customizing it for specific industries and use cases.  Other vendors like Fortinet and Palo Alto Networks are actively sharing threat intelligence and encouraging other security insiders to join.  Finally, there is a global hue and cry for intelligence sharing that includes industry standards (i.e. CybOX, STIX, TAXII, etc.) and even pending legislation.  All of these things should create an interesting discourse.  Big data security analytics.  This is an area I follow closely that is changing on a daily basis.  It’s also an interesting community of vendors.  Some (i.e. 21CT, ISC8, Leidos, Lockheed-Martin, Norse, Palantir, Raytheon, etc.), come from the post 9/11 “total information access” world, while others (Click Security, HP, IBM, Lancope, LogRhythm, RSA, etc.) are firmly rooted in the infosec industry.  I look forward to a lively discussion about geeky topics like algorithms, machine learning, and visual analytics.  Las Vegas is simultaneously one of the most fun and banal places on earth, but next week it will become a hotbed of cybersecurity intrigue, intelligence, and brainpower.  It’s likely to be 115 degrees in the shade, but I can’t wait to get there. To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WHITE PAPER: McAfee The Significant Threat of Advanced Evasion Techniques Advanced hacking methods, like advanced evasion techniques (AETs) have become more prevalent and harder to detect. Yet many network security vendors have downplayed the threat they pose as purely theoretical. Learn the false sense of security many IT professionals are under View Now Black Hat shows its quirky side The digital security exploits revealed at Black Hat are always impressive and hard to predict, so the bar is set pretty high for anyone hoping to grab attention at the show outside of the security briefings. That means vendors and individuals try hard to come up with ways they can stand out from the crowd. Here's a look at some of the noteworthy efforts from Black Hat 2013.
