A chain is only as strong as its weakest link

IOT security

Internet of Things (IoT) security is a crucial aspect of today’s digital world, where countless devices are connected to the internet to exchange data and automate processes. These networks of smart devices range from household gadgets to industrial systems and medical equipment.

IoT security focuses on protecting these devices and the data they generate from cyber threats such as unauthorized access, data breaches, and malware. As the connectivity and complexity of IoT networks continue to grow, robust security becomes increasingly important to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of information.

I see the security of an IoT product as a chain.

If even one link in the chain breaks, the entire chain is at risk.

And when even the simplest IoT-connected device offers a wide range of attack surfaces, weak security can result in an unsafe situation, a data breach, downtime, and significant damage to a company’s reputation.

Securing IoT environments requires considering all elements in the chain: hardware, sensors, protocols, software, manufacturer portals, connected devices, accounts, cloud services, user apps, web interfaces, and voice control.

Such extensive interaction and connection make controlling security challenging and often underestimated.

Security starts with a suitable architecture that matches your unique IoT needs.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach suitable for all organizations. Hardware, software, and connectivity must all be secure for IoT devices to operate effectively. IoT product security must be an end-to-end consideration, with the best security practices taken into account at every step of the design and throughout the product’s long-term lifecycle.

More than just a technical solution

Securing IoT is more than just a technical solution.

IoT security is constantly evolving, with new vulnerabilities being regularly discovered, making it a journey rather than a destination.

This is the reality for many organizations now using IoT as part of their operational technology, leveraging the monitoring and security capabilities of the vendor. As trust grows in the ability of the technology to deliver innovation, efficiency, and usability, such applications are increasingly deployed in more critical parts of business operations.

The downside of this advancement is that as everything becomes an internet-connected device, cybersecurity becomes everything security.

Any organization using IoT devices or relying on services provided by such organizations must understand that they can be targeted through these IoT devices by criminal organizations or malicious actors. The more they rely on these devices, the more they become a target. “We are not a target” is never a completely safe assumption.

Not sure where to start?

Not sure where to start for your organization? Wanscale and its value-added partners have deep expertise in IoT security to support your organization with these challenges.

Wanscale universe - SD-WAN

In the rapidly evolving world of corporate networks, SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Networking) has become a widely discussed technology. SD-WAN promises improved network performance, cost efficiency, and simplified management. However, the question remains: is it the right choice for your organization?

In this article, I discuss in simple terms which organizations can benefit from SD-WAN and when it might not be necessary.

For which organizations is SD-WAN beneficial?

Companies with multiple branches

SD-WAN is particularly beneficial for organizations with multiple locations, such as retail chains or businesses with multiple branches. It enables them to manage and optimize networks easily and cost-effectively using SD-WAN technology.

Organizations that rely on cloud applications

Businesses heavily reliant on cloud-based applications like Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Slack, or Zoom can achieve significant benefits from using SD-WAN. It enhances performance for cloud applications by routing traffic directly to the nearest endpoint, reducing latency and improving user experience.

Companies that require high availability and reliability

For organizations in healthcare, financial services, or manufacturing facilities where downtime directly impacts operations, SD-WAN offers advanced failover capabilities. This ensures that the network automatically switches to a secondary connection if the primary connection fails, guaranteeing continuous and uninterrupted service.

Organizations looking to save on network management

Businesses with limited IT resources seeking cost savings in network management can also benefit from the advantages of SD-WAN. By centralizing and simplifying network management, SD-WAN can help reduce network management costs.

When is SD-WAN not a necessary solution?

Small businesses with a single location

For small businesses with only one office location, SD-WAN may not provide significant advantages over traditional network solutions. The complexity and costs of implementation could outweigh the benefits.

Organizations with stable and low bandwidth needs

If your organization does not have intensive bandwidth requirements and your current network performance is satisfactory, investing in SD-WAN may be unnecessary. Companies that primarily use basic internet services without heavy data or application demands can function well without an SD-WAN solution.

Companies with a limited IT budget

While SD-WAN can be cost-effective in the long term, the initial implementation requires an investment. Companies with a very limited IT budget should carefully consider whether the initial costs justify the expected benefits.

Organizations that already have a highly reliable and efficient MPLS solution

If your organization already uses a well-functioning IP-VPN solution and you are satisfied with its performance and costs, transitioning to SD-WAN may be unnecessary. MPLS generally continues to offer excellent reliability and performance for many businesses.

Conclusion

SD-WAN offers numerous benefits for organizations needing improved network performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency, especially those with multiple locations or heavy reliance on cloud applications. However, for smaller businesses or organizations with limited IT needs and budgets, SD-WAN may be an unnecessary and costly solution.

Network management is no longer a complex puzzle

WAN uitbreiding

Dynamic network environments call for smart solutions.

Does your organization manage multiple networks with different locations, each having its own LAN, multiple internet services, and various segments for cloud, data centers, or applications? Managing all these networks efficiently can be challenging, especially when hybrid work is involved, spanning from home, office, and on the go.

For IT managers, managing these networks can indeed be a complex puzzle. At Wanscale, we strongly advocate for fragmented networks from a security standpoint, without making it overwhelming. We offer you the capability to connect, manage, and monitor all network segments and components through a single central platform based on SD-WAN and SASE technology.

Why stop using the traditional approach?

Many organizations use partial solutions where various applications and networks form a cohesive whole but still require separate management. This leads to gray areas and unclear demarcations of responsibilities, resulting in longer resolution times, limited flexibility, and little oversight.

The IT department has to perform many additional tasks. Adjustments become much more complex than necessary and take up a lot of time. This inefficiency is costly.

Network management is no longer a headache

Wanscale makes it easy for IT managers and IT directors to manage all external networks effortlessly. Network adjustments or expansions are within reach with just a few clicks. We provide you with an SD-WAN technology-based platform that allows you to easily set up a Virtual Network (VNET).

100% uptime

Nearly every organization aims for 100% uptime and a stable network. Our platform features built-in intelligence that can determine the optimal connection for each application.

Network advice

Through the Wanscale portal, IT departments have access to tools that advise and support them in managing their networks. By analyzing network traffic and configurations within our platform, we use this data to provide users with advice. For instance, we can alert about a deviation in security policy configurations. We proactively notify about poorly performing connections, links, or connected services—tasks traditionally handled manually, now executed through our platform.

Why Wanscale?

Wanscale offers a cloud-based connectivity platform based on proprietary SD-WAN and SASE technology. The platform enables you to establish secure connections between different locations, the internet, the cloud, and SaaS providers.

User-friendly platform

The platform, including the accompanying user-friendly portal, makes it easy for IT managers to manage external networks and simultaneously modify settings for multiple networks.

Highest possible availability

99 procent available

Very spoiled in the Netherlands

We are very spoiled in the Netherlands. Access to the Internet is almost always and everywhere available, and we take that for granted.

We use our computers, tablets, and smartphones daily and surf the World Wide Web effortlessly. We stream videos, send emails, and share all sorts of things on social media. Internet access is as taken for granted as water coming from the tap. But appearances can be deceiving. Behind the scenes, ingenious technologies, software, and systems work tirelessly to keep the digital highway running.

And precisely all those invisible elements are crucial for our modern society. We have various types of networks: fixed networks over fiber optics, coaxial cables, and copper, mobile networks over 4G or 5G, and recently, thanks largely to Starlink, satellite networks.

Behind all these networks are organizations and people who work tirelessly to keep everything up and running, aiming for an uptime approaching 100%. Despite all the good efforts, things occasionally go wrong, and outages sometimes occur. For most consumers, this is not a major issue; a bit of downtime is at most annoying or inconvenient, but rarely insurmountable.

In the business world, this is very different, as even a few minutes of downtime can be more than just inconvenient or annoying. Most companies that rely on internet access, their cloud applications, their payment providers, or perhaps their own data in the data center have taken necessary measures in the form of redundancy.

Often to prevent loss of revenue, avoid financial penalties, or suffer from damage to their reputation.

Impact

Depending on the size of the company or the impact of an outage on that company, measures are taken to minimize or completely eliminate the consequences of communication failures.

Often, multiple connections from different providers are obtained, possibly through geographically separated routes. To automate failovers, BGP and VRRP are commonly used. In some cases, a second connection via the mobile network using 4G or 5G is chosen, and increasingly via Starlink.

Simply because this approach also eliminates the consequences of digging damages.

Another factor that is sometimes overlooked is maintenance work on carriers’ or providers’ networks. In most cases, these activities occur during the nighttime hours, but even this can lead to problems because many businesses operate 24/7. Consider all the online shops and the entire logistics chain dependent on them.

Primary and secondary connection

In many cases, a failover solution consists of a primary and secondary connection. When the primary connection fails, BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is used to switch over to the secondary connection.

To maintain the same IP address, it’s necessary for this solution to be provided by a single vendor. However, this remains a risk. An alternative solution involving two different providers also has disadvantages unless a very clever solution is used that always selects the best path.

Swiftly and while retaining IP addresses, ensuring that all sessions are unaffected. Even VPNs used by remote workers remain intact, and ATMs continue operating seamlessly.

Power outage

Electricity is becoming increasingly less reliable these days. A power outage in a neighborhood or on an industrial estate can cause both wired and mobile provider networks to be temporarily unavailable.

As an organization, you can take measures by equipping your own network equipment with a backup power supply based on a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or emergency generator. This resilience extends further into the chain than initially considered. If you rely on a single business provider for both fiber optic and 4G services, you are still completely cut off in the event of a power outage.

Provider Points of Presence (POPs) or telecom masts are typically not equipped with backup power supplies like data centers are. Considering these scenarios often goes beyond initial thoughts and is necessary when high availability of connectivity is crucial for an organization.

Wanscale solution

The solution from Wanscale is provider-independent and is entirely based on the principles of SD-WAN and SASE.

By placing a Service Edge at your location, you can not only use a variety of suppliers and technologies but also aim for the highest possible availability.

Simply combine all the possibilities available at your location and integrate them into the best solution.

Add to that the capabilities of a self-healing network and standard end-to-end encryption for maximum data security, and you can sleep peacefully at night.

Rens Braak

P.S. If you need to brainstorm about high availability, backup scenarios, or failovers, let me know.

Are you looking for staff, or

andere oplossing

is there another solution?

Organizations constantly face challenges. One of the most crucial aspects today is finding the right personnel. Headhunters and recruitment agencies are all busy with this, as traditionally this problem is addressed by posting job openings, conducting interviews, and selecting candidates.

But what if we approach this issue from a completely different perspective?

Thinking outside the box

Rethinking is a creative approach where problems are turned into opportunities, offering a fresh perspective on this dilemma. Let’s consider how companies can rethink their search for personnel.

Let’s not only consider traditional methods of recruitment but also explore the modern possibilities that technology offers us. Perhaps we can empower people already on board with tools that enable them to fulfill the desired roles.

Win-win

This approach can create a win-win situation. The organization not only solves the problem but also provides an opportunity for promotion to an existing employee, who gets a new chance within the company to make a valuable contribution.

“Instead of clinging to old patterns, we can also explore new paths.”

To be very concrete, I’ll choose the following example from everyday practice. Many IT companies or system integrators are looking for network administrators, people who know all the ins and outs of a Wide Area Network (WAN). True specialists are hard to find and can also be expensive.

Needle in a haystack

Of course, we can continue searching for the well-known needle in a haystack and spend a lot of money on recruiting a network specialist. In my opinion, there is also a very different solution that may not be so obvious.

WC eend

From now on, my story may have a bit of a bias, but I’ll take that risk. Have you ever considered offering tools to other people within your organization, such as a system administrator, so that they can effectively manage a Wide Area Network with their existing knowledge?

A very different solution than you might expect, but highly realistic. And all because there’s a very innovative platform that automates many of the tasks required to manage a WAN, without the need for deep configuration knowledge.

Curious? Then get in touch with me!

The similarities between energy transition and cloud transition

Energietransitie versus cloudtransitie blog Wanscale

Energy transition

The energy transition is a topic encountered everywhere: in politics, in newspapers, on TV, during social gatherings, and even in sports venues. The discussion often revolves around solar panels, electric cars, wind turbines, hydrogen, and nuclear power plants. What ultimately is the solution to our climate goals?

The answer likely lies in a combination of these technologies, with a focus on placing humans at the center. Personally, I don’t have enough knowledge of the energy transition to provide a well-founded opinion, but what I do know is that I drive many kilometers weekly in my electric car and live with my family in an energy-neutral house. In terms of living and working, I feel quite comfortable with this setup in the current times.

Cloud transition

The transition to the cloud has been a process underway for quite some time, much longer than the energy transition. I still remember the time “when electricity was just normal,” and that doesn’t even seem so long ago. For nearly 15 years, I have actively participated in the cloud transition from various perspectives. I’ve witnessed the emergence of terms like private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, and even the sovereign cloud.

Along the way, many obstacles have been overcome, and old discussions often resurface in new forms. Questions about data location, vendor lock-in, and other challenges are familiar. We’ve learned a lot from the early days of cloud migrations: some legacy applications or systems turned out to be unsuitable, adoption wasn’t always smooth, and users had to adjust to their new environments.

The shift from CAPEX to OPEX was not always accurately estimated in the long term. Customers and suppliers didn’t always clearly define responsibilities upfront, and sometimes we had to rely on manufacturers eager to offer their best products.

Meanwhile, the transition to the cloud generally proceeds smoothly. There are countless options, many off-the-shelf building blocks, and experienced suppliers. The infrastructure is robust, and there is almost always a form of cloud that specifically fits the desired situation.

What I’ve learned most in the past 15 years during the cloud transition is that there are suitable solutions for every situation. Forward thinking and anticipation are essential and crucial. When we integrate something into a solution, we must already consider how we can eventually phase it out. This keeps our solutions dynamic and prevents surprises.

Conclusion

In my view, the cloud transition and the energy transition share one clear similarity: there is no one-size-fits-all solution that works in every case. It’s about a combination of technologies and a human-centered approach.

And as for the energy transition, that discussion is likely to continue for some time, not least due to societal acceptance. Not everyone is convinced of the necessity of the energy transition.

Based on my experience, I believe that many setbacks, bad experiences, and new inventions will ultimately lead to the most suitable end result.
