Securing Connections in the Cloud and Across All Your IoT Devices

Leave a comment

By Jonathan Nguyen-Duy, Vice President, Global Field CISO Team, Fortinet

The hyper-connected, global marketplace of the 21st century has shifted the landscape for networking and security. Two prevalent trends in this area—cloud adoption and the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT)—are seemingly two different components of digital transformation, with separate purposes and scope. However, they actually work together, fueling one another in the digital ecosystem. This symbiotic relationship has important implications when it comes to deploying, using, and securing cloud services and the IoT.   

As the number of IoT devices grows, so does the amount of data that they generate. This is in addition to the massive stores of data that are already being amassed by businesses, governments, and even individuals – data that must be collected, processed, mined, and stored. Take, for example, the use of sensors in warehouses where inventory can be tracked. This technology provides managers with essential data on purchasing trends so they are better equipped to manage inventory, especially on fast-selling items. Similar devices in retail locations provide information not just about inventory, but everything from temperatures in refrigeration units to customer purchasing trends.

IoT sensors installed on manufacturing equipment provide production managers with critical information. Environmental data from these sensors signal evidence of wear and tear on expensive equipment, alerting managers about maintenance before that equipment fails and costs the organization millions of dollars in lost productivity. 

As a result of these and other use cases, organizations are finding that in order to keep up with the massive amounts of data they are amassing, they need to act fast and build out their data management resources. For many, this comes in the form of a standard, two-pronged solution: easily scalable cloud data centers and high-performing infrastructures developed to support data mining for critical information. 

An Increased Digital Footprint Results in Increased Risk

One of the top challenges associated with IoT adoption is security. Botnets are the most common IoT cyber threat, causing Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks like the notorious Mirai, which infected tens of thousands of IoT devices before causing massive disruption. 

When compromised, IoT devices may do the following:  

  1. Intercept data being transmitted  
  2. Act as a vehicle for malware
  3. Fall under control of a botnet to carry out a specific, disruptive task such as DDoS

According to research conducted by the team at FortiGuard Labs, IoT devices were involved in half of the top 12 exploits last year. This is due primarily to the fact that most IoT devices are designed with fault code, no built-in security measures, and an inability to be updated even when network managers identify a vulnerability. 

IoT and the Cloud: A Uniquely Challenging Combination

Every IoT device is potentially another cloud connection, and every connection to the network represents yet another security vulnerability. So, what does this mean for your organization? As you develop new IoT assets and move to the cloud, your security strategies for both need to be in sync with one another. When an IoT device is compromised, your public and private clouds are at risk, and this can eventually affect your core network and even your customers. 

How to Secure IoT and Cloud Connections

There are six key considerations when it comes to securing IoT and cloud environments:

  1. Robust vulnerability management. Understanding what is on your network and the potential threats they pose is critical. Keeping track of your IoT devices ensures they can be updated with security patches (where possible), properly segmented and isolated, or protected using effective proximity controls that can offer defense in the case of an attack. 
  2. Compensating controls. By implementing proper controls, security teams can mitigate risks posed by those devices that can’t be updated. Proximity devices, including firewall and IPS systems, should be leveraged to ensure the inspection of data moving between IoT devices and the cloud. Additionally, behavior-based detection can be used to identify traffic discrepancies, such as the communication between botnet command and control centers.
  3. Encryption. This practice should be leveraged where possible to ensure the confidentiality and integrity of data. 
  4. Hardened security at the cloud edge. Not all IoT environments are secure, so hardening the cloud network is essential. In addition to other mitigation efforts, avoiding DDoS attacks and malware is also a matter of inspecting traffic at the cloud edge.
  5. Integration and automation. The policies that govern security tools and the collection of security event data need to exist within the same management platform. This will ensure event correlation, consistent functionalities, reliable configuration delivery, and the orchestration and enforcement of policies all through a single pane of glass.
  6. Security plus performance. Security platforms must be consistently reliable, no matter the environment in which they are deployed. Regardless of whether they are deployed as a virtual instance or a physical appliance, they must be able to process large amounts of data without slowing down the collection and processing of critical data.

Final Thoughts

To maximize the benefits of digital transformation, organizations must employ effective security strategies for IoT devices and the cloud. A unified strategy that addresses both the cloud and IoT using advanced threat intelligence and automation is vital. This will secure critical connections moving forward and set your organization up for success in the modern marketplace. 

Warba Bank Digitizes Online Banking and Enhances Customer Experience with Nutanix

Kuwaiti FSI leader targets mobile computing and financial services governance in bold digital transformation program

Nutanix (NASDAQ: NTNX), a leader in enterprise cloud computing, today announced that Kuwait’s Warba Bank has digitally transformed its financial services and mobile banking using the power of Nutanix’s hyper-converged infrastructure platform.

Warba Bank was established in 2010 and currently runs 14 branches nationwide, with several further launches already in the pipeline. To keep pace with the changing demands of retail, private and corporate customers, and to align with its plans of continued growth, the bank began an ambitious digital transformation program that targeted mobile applications and the governance of financial services.

“Mobile applications make our customers’ journeys so much easier,” said Wael Shawareb, Senior Director of Cyber Security and IT Governance, Warba Bank. “But once you get into digital transformation in our sector, you have to consider the governance of financial services, which is very strict when it comes to data protection and privacy concerns. You have to make sure you implement your security levels in accordance with meticulous standards.”

In selecting Nutanix as a partner for digitization, Shawareb and his team were drawn to Nutanix’s ability to integrate with Warba Bank’s legacy hypervisor.

He said: “Their understanding of the hypervisor running underneath showed that Nutanix were doing impeccable research into the back-to-back vendors, even for the non-related tickets relating to operating system issues. That, more than anything, showed us how solid they were. They were an ideal partner for us.”

Warba Bank’s journey to hyperconverged architecture began with software-defined storage. The organization then migrated to full IT automation lifecycle management. By digitizing its online banking services through Nutanix’s platforms, Warba Bank is now able to enhance the customer experience, by bringing newfound stability and simplicity to backend infrastructure, and delivering rich digital interfaces to its clients at the front end.

“The first thing we noticed after the implementation of Nutanix’s solution was the speed,” said Shawareb. “Once you realize that, ‘Oh, my goodness; I just created that server with all of that storage, and provisioned it faster than I have ever been able to do before,’ that is the moment where you understand just what profound change you have brought to your organization by going with Nutanix. Their GUI, from the moment you log in, gives you the impression that you are dealing with the simplest ever infrastructure. Deployment was a dramatic mind shift for us.”

Nutanix also supported Warba’s stakeholders in their migration of the company’s critical mobile banking application. The core services of Warba’s mobile banking services run on top of Nutanix. A series of legacy vendors had to be integrated to carry Warba’s digital transformation ambitions forward. By simplifying management and maintenance, and by enhancing provisioning speeds, Warba Bank discovered that its IT function was freed up to innovate. The team can now concentrate on the enhancement of the customer experience.

“Today, banking customers of all types expect to have relationships with their assets and investments like they are in the palm of their hand,” Shawareb said. “That close, 24-7 relationship calls for a robust mobile banking offering with impenetrable security, high availability and low latency. We also need to be able to roll out enhancements to that customer experience in real time, with no disruption to service. Nutanix understood all of that. And for that reason, and many others, we now see them as a strategic technology partner for Warba Bank.”

“The regional FSI sector is one of the most fiercely competitive industries in operation today, with customers that have some of the highest expectations imaginable,” said Aaron White, Regional Sales Director, Middle East at Nutanix. “The mobile computing and governance issues faced by Warba Bank are exactly the kinds of complexities that can be smoothed over by Nutanix technology that brings consumer-grade simplicity into enterprise data centres. We have enabled the Bank to leverage agile, efficient, multicloud-capable IT to become a truly digital enterprise.”

Spotify now has a song list for car lovers curated by Jury members of the Women’s World Car of the Year

Songs with lyrics of roads, trips and automobiles is integrated in a unique list of classic rock, blues, soul, country music. The list has been generated in Spotify by jury members of the Women’s World Car of the Year to create almost five hours of the very best music for car lovers around the world.

When Bonny Rice first wrote and recorded Mustang Sally in 1965, he didn’t anticipate it would become one of the most well-known road songs of all time. It gained greater popularity when Wilson Pickett covered it the following year on a single.

That popularity was helped by the fact it appealed to women because for possibly the first time since the car was invented here was a song that showed Sally, as a woman, was far more interested in the car than the man.

The Women’s World Car of the Year playlist in Spotify is almost five hours of the very best classic rock, blues, soul and country and offered to all. Pink Cadillac, by Bruce Springsteen; Highway to Hell, by AC/DC; Little Red Corvette by Prince, Maybellene by Chuck Berry; Drive my Car by The Beatles: Mercury Blues, by Steve Miller Band are just some examples of Women’s World Car of the Year playlist.

Road songs started timidly with the beat generation of the 50’s and 60’s who were young and looked to distinguish themselves from their parents by refusing their conventional way of life, the way they dressed and the cars they drove.

The young wanted striking and different vehicles which otherwise, they might not be able to afford. The car industry, still ailing after the Second War World standstill, saw this trend as a business opportunity and began producing sport cars with V6 and V8 engines at affordable prices. Born were a number of legends such us Chevrolet Corvette, Ford Mustang and the Pontiac Firebird. They were muscle cars that could drive the Route 66 that Jack Kerouac had immortalized in his book On the Road.

Initially, The Mother Road (as it was named by that time) began in Chicago (Illinois), went through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Nuevo México, Arizona and California and finished at Los Angeles. It covered a total of 3940 km (2449 miles). It allowed Nat King Cole to voice the Bobby Troup song with his famous hit (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66. This, too, is included in Women’s World Car of the Year playlist. Other bands such as The Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode, Manhattan Transfer have also paid tribute to the, very probably, most famous road in world.

It’s not the destiny but the journey and other more recent songs that have hundreds of kilometres of asphalt disappearing beneath the chassis in search of freedom include Going Mobile, by The Who; From a Buick 6, by Bob Dylan; and Highway Star by Deep Purple. All of them prove road songs are more alive than ever and all of them are on Women’s World Car of the Year Spotify playlist.

Women’s World Car of the Year is the only car awards in the world comprising exclusively women motoring journalists. It was created by New Zealand motoring journalist, Sandy Myhre, in 2009. She is currently Honorary President while Marta García is Executive President.

The objective of the awards is to choose the best cars of the year. The voting criteria is based on the same principles that guide any driver when choosing a car. Aspects such as safety, quality, price, design, ease of driving, benefits and environmental footprint, among others, are taken into account when casting the vote.

The Gulf region is represented in WWCOTY by UAE based Motoring Jury, Shereen Shabnam who is the Founder of All About Wheels, Editor in Chief of the regional luxury lifestyle magazine of Millionaire Group, Motoring Editor of Madame magazine and Oceania based Trending Business Insights.

Scenic San Francisco

As one of the most fascinating and eclectic cities in the world, San Francisco has always drawn me in with its charm and history each time I visit my relatives. Since San Francisco’s attractions are spread out, the best way to see the attractions is to have road trips. Luckily my base is always in Hayward with my favourite aunt and over the years, the attractions below have been the ones I love going back to.

The Golden Gate Bridge

As one of San Francisco’s most famous landmarks, The Golden Gate Bridge is a must visit for a walk across the bridge, for amazing pictures and onwards to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which has a waterfront promenade and a number of hiking trails.

The Palace of Fine Arts

The Palace of Fine Arts is majestic and the Corinthian columns always catches my eye each time I am in San Francisco. The lagoon area is perfect for a leisurely stroll or for a picnic on the grass. It always has interesting events but my favourite stop is always the theatre.

Alcatraz Island

Home to a former federal prison that had some of America’s most notorious criminals in the past, Alcatraz Island is a national landmark that tourists can explore. Take a guide when taking the tour of the Island so that the rangers can give you historical information with some interesting stories thrown in.

Fisherman’s Wharf

This waterfront is always my definite destination as I love spending time people watching at the cafés on the pier as well as enjoy their famous clam chowder soup with sour dough bread. The street performers are great and I love the souvenir shops that have a wide variety merchandise including my favourite Ghirardelli Ice Cream and chocolate shop. If you love cruising, head towards San Francisco Bay to see the city from the water.

Cable Car Tours

Cable cars are fun to ride and a great way to explore the various neighborhoods of San Francisco. These tram-like vehicles are the only public transport system to be declared a historic monument and they save you loads of time walking up and down the city’s hills.

Museums and Science Centres

After opening a science exhibition at the Tech Museum in San Jose, I dedicated one of my visits to San Francisco to interactive centres. I started my tour with a visit to the Exploratorium, a popular science museum with a huge number of diverse exhibits and hands-on learning experiences designed to educate and entertain.

Next up was the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art visit which took a lot longer with 10 floors, and a large gallery space that took half a day. The next day I ventured to the Young Museum of fine arts that features a wide variety of exhibits from different geographical locations.

san-francisco-867133

Country Tours

While most visitors head to the Napa Valley for a bit of country air, there are other options as well. One year we decided to escape to Solvang and do the ‘Sideways Tour’ on our own by following the trail exactly as it was done in the award-winning film ‘Sideways’. The scenery was as gorgeous as Napa Valley and we got to see a new part of California.
Chinatown

The San Francisco Chinatown is the most famous in the United States and the most vibrant with the best places to eat Chinese cuisine, get souvenirs and people watch. I would suggest as least dedicating half a day to get a feel of the area.

Overall, the entire California is an amazing destination but I have a soft spot for San Francisco because of my many relatives living there and the fact that it offers so many attractions and entertainment within and beyond the city.

 

Rostec made the first civilian Mi-8AMT Arctic helicopter

Leave a comment

Russian Helicopters holding company (part of Rostec State Corporation) started serial production of Mi-8AMT Arctic helicopters for civilian customers. Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant made the first rotorcraft which is ready to start operation. 

Mi-8AMT helicopter in its Arctic version completed the flight-test program and the procedure of acceptance by an independent commission of the Federal Air Transport Agency (Rosaviatsiya). The rotorcraft’s main features include a unique system for heating transmission parts, designed by JSC «National helicopter center Мil&Kamov». The system provides for quick start of engines in extremely low temperatures, even if the helicopter is deployed without a hangar for a long time.
The system for heating transmission parts is complemented by an improved system for thermal protection of the cargo cabin and special thermal insulation shutters in sliding doors and cockpit doors. Special cover protects the helicopter from low temperatures, high humidity and strong wind, if it is deployed without a hangar for a long time. The helicopter systems have teflon hose, which is resistant to freezing temperatures, instead of rubber hose.

“New Mi-8AMT helicopter will be sought after by many Russian companies and government agencies implementing projects and tasks in the Arctic. The first rotorcraft is ready to start operation, and negotiations with several potential Russian customers are underway,” stated Director General of Russian Helicopters Andrey Boginsky. “The holding company is making every effort to provide operators with reliable and modern helicopters, which is irreplaceable when many important tasks related to work in the region are carried out.”

The helicopter is equipped with two additional fuel tanks, which allow it to fly long distances. This in very important for northern districts with low population density. The Arctic version of Mi-8AMT can fly up to 1,400 km. An emergency floatation system can also be installed on the helicopter to fly over a vast area of waters in the Arctic.

“This helicopter is necessary for air medical services, maintenance of facilities of the fuel and energy complex, and for meeting the needs of polar expeditions. It may also help organize transportation in northern regions,” emphasized Managing Director of Ulan-Ude Aviation Plant Leonid Belykh.

When the helicopter was designed, great attention was given to ensuring that it is capable of flying over the Arctic terrain with few features, in the conditions of polar night, harsh weather, and when satellite and radio signals are lost. For that purpose the rotorcraft is equipped with a special navigation complex.
The complex includes several navigation systems for locating the helicopter, a radar with horizontal and vertical sweep of information on the weather, a digital autopilot, and radio stations with a wide range of frequencies. The helicopter is capable of automated hovering, flying a planned hovering route, and landing. The navigation system considerably reduces the load on the crew, and ensures greater safety of the flight.

SC “Russian Helicopters”, a part of Rostec State Corporation, is a leading player in the global helicopter industry, the sole Russian designer and manufacturer of helicopters. The Holding Company was established in 2007 and is headquartered in Moscow. We operate five helicopter assembly plants, two design bureaus, component production and maintenance enterprises, aircraft repair plants and one helicopter service company providing after-sales support in Russia and abroad. The customers of the Holding Company are the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Home Affairs, EMERCOM of Russia, and other state customers, Gazpromavia, UTair Aviation company, large Russian and foreign companies.


State Corporation Rostec is one of the largest industrial companies in Russia. It unites more than 800 scientific and industrial organizations in 60 regions of the country. Its key areas of activity are transport engineering, electronics, medical technology, chemistry and innovative materials. Rostec holdings form three clusters: electronics, weapons and aviation. The corporation’s portfolio includes such well-known brands as AvtoVAZ, KAMAZ, Kalashnikov, Russian Helicopters, Uralvagonzavod and others.
