How SaaS Providers Are Solving Multi- Cloud Networking & Security Challenges with Aviatrix

The recent attacks on Oldsmar, Florida water facility as well as other cyber attacks targeting critical infrastructure has shed a new light on how simple it is for even novice attackers to penetrate OT networks. The attacks on OT networks in critical infrastructure come at a price that is far higher than financial losses and may result in loss of life.

Manufacturers and transportation companies are facing increasing pressure to ensure safe and timely delivery of temperature sensitive items including medicine, fresh food, and chemicals. Not only must they monitor and maintain temperature, humidity and other relevant environmental conditions, they must also comply with government regulations to accurately report on these conditions from point of origin to final destination.

Fixed wireless access (FWA) is emerging as one of the first 5G use cases to be deployed and monetized by carriers. However, FWA requires significant investments to deploy and operate, so success depends heavily on increased automation of these processes. Automated installation followed by ongoing autonomous operations will be key to driving down costs and ultimately proving out the ROI. Service orchestration solutions that can detect new customer equipment, provision it, and instantiate and test the services will be an essential part of the operations framework

For enterprise networks to be compliant they must encompass two things: standards that define how networks are configured and ensuring those standards are enforced rigidly and uniformly across the network, whether it is physical, virtual, or cloud.However, today’s modern and exploded network infrastructure includes a multitude of edge devices such as switches, routers, firewalls, load balancers, and with the addition of cloud-based services it’s only getting more complex. Effective management of the network in a holistic manner is crucial for operational consistency. Regardless of your network size or type, constant configuration changes to infrastructure components based on business and technical requirements are inevitable and organizations need a modern approach to ensure configuration compliance across all network devices and services.
