Invisible security: how ISPs keep you and their network safe

Submitted Mar 25, 2018

Section: Crisp Talk Technical level: Beginner

What ISPs do behind the scenes are invisible to most people. There are a lot of things which they do to keep their network safe and your data safe. These practices evolved over a period of time. In the recent decade, enterprises have moved their network from the traditional Internet based links to sophisticated MPLS based VPN. Many technologies they use in their network can be deployed in your data center as well, if you require traffic segregation and access control.

This talk is about some of those practices they use in their network to keep your data safe. At the end of the talk, you will gain an understanding about the risks of using a telco service, a few security practices you can deploy in your data center and some key questions you can ask your ISP to ensure that they deliver what you need.

Outline

Please refer to the outline slides.

Requirements

This talk will be useful for people who handle mutli-location offices and data centers.
