As a skilled Network Engineer, do you understand the 8 common Network Attacks?
Network engineers, on the surface, are just "technical laborers" who build, optimize, and troubleshoot networks, but in reality, we are the "first line of defense" in cybersecurity. A 2024 CrowdStrike report showed that global cyberattacks increased by 30%, with Chinese ...Read more -
What is the Intrusion Detection System(IDS) and Intrusion Prevention System(IPS)?
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) is like the scout in the network, the core function is to find the intrusion behavior and send an alarm. By monitoring network traffic or host behavior in real time, it compares the preset "attack signature library" (such as known virus c...Read more -
VxLAN(Virtual eXtensible Local Area Network) Gateway: Centralized VxLAN Gateway or Distributed VxLAN Gateway?
To discuss VXLAN gateways, we must first discuss VXLAN itself. Recall that traditional VLANs (Virtual Local Area Networks) use 12-bit VLAN IDs to divide networks, supporting up to 4096 logical networks. This works fine for small networks, but in modern data centers, with...Read more -
