Partnering with CyberKnight helps BlueCat to accelerate the growth in the region and allows more enterprise and government customers in the Middle East to unlock the power of their critical infrastructure services.

“Distributed cloud models such as 5G and multi-access edge computing networks have the potential to drastically change the CSP industry, delivering high-bandwidth, low latency services to network customers,” said Dilip Pillaipakam.

At 5 milliseconds, current DNS latency is too high to support many 5G applications. For example, in 5G deployments, AR/ VR, gaming, connected cars, and telesurgery will require latency of 1-10 milliseconds. Current DNS latency is unacceptable. Pervasive connectivity of 5G will increase reliance on edge computing, which brings cloud resources compute, storage, and networking—closer to applications, devices, and users.

DNS’s central location at the foundation of the network also makes it possible to use as a powerful security tool. As one of the first services a device uses when it connects to the network, DNS can give network administrators visibility across the entire network, allowing them to identify and isolate compromised machines before they can cause significant damage.

While working in the public sector and private sector have many differences, one characteristic is similar: cybersecurity and threats. Both sectors feel the pain of not having a sufficient community of trained and available security staff to hire, both are constant targets of phishing and related social engineering attacks and both are trying to balance the three-pronged attacks of the pandemic.
