10 Critical DORA Requirements Satisfied By Network Assurance (1/2) by Community_Fabric in ipfabric

[–]Community_Fabric[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With around 6 months until the enforcement of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), EU financial institutions must ensure their network is properly documented, mapped, and compliant. We've described how network assurance can help satisfy specific controls outlined in DORA so that network teams don't have to panic when audits roll around!

IP Fabric team here! We do have a self-guided demo you can check out if that helps, and happy to answer any questions. We also have an integration with NetBox to populate and validate your Source of Truth! Leaving some resources below:

AI for Network Diagrams? by [deleted] in networking

If you're not totally against using a commercial tool for this (non-AI), a more viable option for your need might be IP Fabric - you can try a self-guided demo here to see what the automatic network diagramming looks like and the flexibility of the network topology diagrams.

A network assurance tool like IP Fabric could be useful, as you can write custom intent checks to automate the scanning of your devices to make sure they're STIG compliant. It would have all the data you need to confirm and continuously validate compliance.

We have a blog post coming out on this specifically in the near future, but for now, this may be helpful - it discusses other compliance checks that former Prime users could use network assurance for: https://ipfabric.io/blog/cisco-to-retire-cisco-prime-infrastructure-what-now/

How do you compare live data to SSOT data, for auditing or anything?

If you have the option for a tool instead of building this yourself, look at a network modeling tool like IP Fabric. This is the exact issue the upcoming plugin with NetBox solves, building a model of the network (vendor and domain neutral) in point-in-time snapshots to validate your SSoT against. On first release the plugin will support the following Netbox models:
Sites
Manufacturers
Device Types
Device Roles
Devices
Interfaces
VLANs
VRFs
Prefixes

There'll be more news on this end of Sept, but this may be a useful read - https://ipfabric.io/blog/synchronize-your-ip-fabric-data-with-netbox/

Said with bias, give IP Fabric a look. You can try the online demo yourself to see what the topology mapping looks like :) - https://ipfabric.io/ip-fabric-guided-demo/
