Residential proxies and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePINs) are technologies that enable end users to participate in semi-anonymous communications similar in function to virtual private networks (VPNs) by essentially sharing their broadband connection with anonymous third-party users. These types of networks are not new, but they have become more popular, easier to set up (sometimes […]

The days of measuring network performance by speed alone are long gone. Nearly six years ago, the broadband industry launched its 10G initiative, setting in motion significant achievements toward the widespread availability of a future-ready network capable of much more than multi-gigabit speeds. CableLabs has delivered on every commitment of the initiative since, and we […]

Every day, consumers become more reliant on the digital services that surround us at home, at work, at school — and just about everywhere else. As a result, the need for robust network security and privacy protection has never been more critical. CableLabs plays a vital role in shaping the future of our networks, enabling […]

Threats to internet routing infrastructure are diverse, persistent and changing — leaving critical communications networks susceptible to severe disruptions, such as data leakage, network outages and unauthorized access to sensitive information. Securing core routing protocols — including the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and the Resource Public Key Infrastructure (RPKI) — is an integral facet of […]

In recent years, the U.S. government has undertaken efforts to adopt a zero trust architecture strategy for security to protect critical data and infrastructure across federal systems. It has also urged critical infrastructure sectors — including the broadband industry — to implement zero trust concepts within their networks. The industry plays a key role in […]

This year has been a particularly interesting one for cybersecurity. Notable incidents and other areas of focus in cybersecurity set the backdrop for “Hacker Summer Camp 2024” in Las Vegas in August. Topics frequently alluded to during this year’s conferences included: Increased focus on critical infrastructure — Critical infrastructure is increasingly complex, distributed and difficult […]

We are witnessing a transformation in the security landscape across all aspects of our digital world. As cyber threats become increasingly sophisticated and frequent, they pose new challenges for individuals and organizations alike. A single security breach can have crippling consequences for potentially millions of internet users — from the disruption of daily life and […]

Reliable and secure routing is essential for the connectivity of critical communications networks, ensuring that data packets reach their intended destinations without being intercepted, altered or dropped. Inadequate routing security can make the entire network susceptible to attacks such as Internet Protocol (IP) spoofing, route hijacking and man-in-the-middle attacks. With the increasing complexity and ubiquity […]

Today, 5G mobile networks are being deployed rapidly around the globe. According to GSMA Mobile Economy 2021, 5G mobile connections in North America accounted for 3 percent of all mobile connections in 2020, but that number is expected to climb to 51 percent by 2025. On top of the accelerated deployment of public 5G networks, […]

We are all heavily relying on our home networks to work, learn, stay connected with family and friends and to keep us entertained; unfortunately, cyber villains are now hard at work trying to exploit our current situation. Luckily, there are a few easy steps you can take to lock your cyber-doors and prevent intruders from […]
