Featured Corporate Blogger: Juniper Blogger Krishna Narayanaswamy - He Has Chops - What Will They Talk About

Juniper blogger Krishna Narayanaswamy runs a Juniper (yes corporate blog) called Technically Secure.  He is launching a new series.  Krishan describes the new blog series as the following:  “Security threats are as prevalent as ever, but not only that, interconnected networks are a prerequisite for doing business - this means your networks are now porous. No longer are people working purely inside the company, they are leveraging their contacts and colleagues at other companies, industry associations and in their social networks.  But what does this mean for your network integrity?”

For the next few weeks, my colleague Michael Rothschild is going to be taking a look at perimeter security, intrusion prevention and internal threats. I hope you find the topic useful.

I met Krishna when he cofounded TopLayer way back in the day.  He has the chops on the technical side and I’m looking forward to linking to some of his stuff.

Krishna is a Distinguished Engineer in the Service Layer Technologies group at Juniper. He is currently working on DPI technology initiatives in products targeted at service providers and enterprise markets.

Krishna has 19 years of experience in data networking involving Ethernet, ATM, IP, Switching and Security technologies. He has authored 10 patents in the areas of switching, security and QoS. He was actively involved in the IEEE 802.1 and ATM Forum standards committees.

Prior to Juniper, he was the co-founder and System Architect at Top Layer Networks where he played a pivotal role in bringing multiple products to the market. He has also held senior engineering roles at Digital Equipment Corporation and Fore Systems.

He describes his blog as the following…

Technically Secure, the Juniper Networks blog dedicated to trends and innovation in the world of IT risk management and security. Here we’ll offer technical perspectives on network security, covering things happening within Juniper Networks as well as issues across the industry as a whole. Our mission is simple: explore ideas, share information, and provide insight that will help you take a proactive stance on threat and risk mitigation.

Our primary objective is to explore technical IT security issues as business and technology challenges that could compromise the effectiveness of enterprises and service providers. We’ll share our strategies for staying ahead of today’s rapidly changing threat landscape and focus in particular on innovation in network security technologies.

We’ve assembled a great team of bloggers to kick off these conversations with you, but we encourage your participation. If there’s a topic that you’d like us to cover, let us know by commenting on the blog. We’re not just talking — we’re listening.
