Network Assurance provides key intelligence for DORA compliance.

To comply with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) in six months, financial entities must establish a comprehensive understanding, control, and documentation of their digital environment; their network and cloud infrastructure are foundational to this. Today, Paul C. Dwyer (ICTTF, Cyber Risk International) and Daren Fulwell (IP Fabric) will discuss the demands of DORA, expectations from the latest Regulatory Technical Standards, and the necessary actions financial entities should take over the next six months. Daren will demonstrate how an automated network assurance platform, such as IP Fabric, can provide the visibility, validation, and evidence required to achieve and maintain compliance (and prove this to relevant parties). Additionally, Paul and Daren will explore the relationship between DORA and other relevant regulations and frameworks (e.g., NIS2, PCI-DSS), offering insights on how to meet the obligations of multiple regulations and frameworks efficiently.

Practical Steps to Network DORA Compliance

Solution Architect Alex Gittings describes and demonstrates how to integrate your real-time monitoring tool, like Zabbix, with the automated network assurance platform IP Fabric. Combining monitoring and assurance can deliver more complete and actionable network insights that help teams understand and manage their complex multivendor enterprise networks far more effectively than they can manually. 

Ask yourself - can your real-time monitoring tool tell you what you aren't monitoring? Can it pull configuration, compliance, and assurance information from network devices? Would having this information help your team proactively troubleshoot and resolve network issues?

Integrate Zabbix & IP Fabric for better network observability

Calling all network engineers and developers! In this quick 3-minute overview, Solution Architect Justin Jeffery described how to use the Python SDK he built with IP Fabric to make use of normalized, vendor-neutral network data. Yes, that means no parsing is needed by developers - the network data from IP Fabric is consumable and searchable within the platform. This is an invaluable resource to get Network Automation projects off the ground. What would you do first with access to all the network data you need, no fuss?

Unlock the potential of your network data with IP Fabric's Python SDK.

Dealing with too many P1 tickets? Mean Time to Resolution unreasonably high? Automated network assurance puts the network data you need in the right people's hands, so they can proactively, quickly, and accurately detect and solve network issues, before they're felt by the end-user or overburden your network team. Solution Architect Dan Kelcher shows us how.

How Network Assurance takes the "Trouble" out of Network Troubleshooting

Automating your enterprise network comes with risk; ensuring a process of closed-loop automation with automated network assurance for continuous validation of your network state de-risks this ambition. 

Without end-to-end visibility of your network before, during, and after implementing automation flows, you're blind to the effects of automation on your network as a whole. Automation can certainly enable a more resilient, secure, and optimized network - IP Fabric Product Evangelist Daren Fulwell shows us how.

Closed Loop Automation with Automated Network Assurance

Solution Architect Cristian Cordero takes us through key security use cases of IP Fabric's automated network assurance platform. See how to interact with the NIST database to understand critical vulnerabilities that can compromise your network estate, explore our Python SDK and Splunk add-ons, and see how an API-first, developer-friendly platform can enhance your security efforts.

Securing your Network Infrastructure: Segmentation & Compliance Verification

IP Fabric Product Evangelist, Daren Fulwell, guides you through the challenges that enterprise Security Ops face, and how these processes can be optimized with access to contextualized network data. 

Learn how to use automated network assurance to validate that your security policies are in place as you intend and understand your multi-vendor, multi-domain network end-to-end. Take a proactive approach to network security with continuous validation of your network state.

Enhance Network Security Ops with Network Assurance

In this overview of automated network assurance, we cover the use cases and benefits of auto-discovery, documentation & visualization for enterprise networks. See how teams can access contextualized state, configuration, and topology information, make use of end-to-end network path simulation and easily share key network insights.
