Cloudflare’s Karma, Managing MSPs, & Agile Security Jul 10, 2019

Show notes

Cloudflare come out strong, pointing the finger at Verizon for shoddy practices putting the Internet at risk. It didn’t take long for karma to come around and for Cloudflare to have their own Internet impacting outage from a mistake of their own. In this episode we talk about that outage, the risk of centralization on the Internet, managing MSPs when trouble strikes, and whether or not agile processes are forgoing security in favor of faster releases.

MPLS is dead, Long live MPLS Jun 26, 2019

Show notes

The initial hype of SD-WAN claimed that MPLS was dead as SD-WAN was going to remove all need for SLA based circuits. Now that we’re several years in and have some experience under our collective belts, we take a look at whether or not the original hype was correct and what real world customers are doing when it comes to selecting circuits for their SD-WAN networks.
