This blog post discusses some of the new network security functionality available in vSphere Integrated Containers (VIC) version 1.2; specifically, the new container network firewall functionality. The NIST and DHS have teamed up on some efforts to secure BGP; more information is available in this article. That’s cool.

The ability to remotely access and control computers has been a game-changer for businesses, allowing them to provide technical support and troubleshoot issues without having to be physically present at the location. This feature is particularly useful in environments where only HTTP traffic is allowed, such as in a web proxy or firewall.

Greg Ferro examines a potential SDN use case (an OpenFlow use case) in the form of enterprise firewall migrations. That’s a no-no from a security perspective—see here to learn why. Mike Foley shared recently that the release candidate of the vSphere 5 Security Hardening Guide has been released. Check it out here.

In the event you’re interested in an idea of how much latency the use of in-kernel hypervisor firewalling (such as that offered by VMware NSX) adds, have a look at this article by Sean Howard. Per RFC 1925 , every old idea will be proposed again with a different name and a different presentation. Operating Systems/Applications.

What’s really interesting to me is the (completely uncoordinated) alignment between Matt’s list of skills for networking pros and the list I provided to virtualization pros in a series of recent VMUG presentations (refer to slide 15, but the list is software development basics, Linux, automation/orchestration, and public cloud services).

Years ago, I was the lead security software reviewer at ZDNet and then at CNET. That meant I tested the release candidates -- not the final product you’d buy in the stores - for consumer-grade antivirus programs, desktop firewalls, and desktop Intrusion detection systems. And I was able to repeat the process over and over.
