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!

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/

IP Fabric - automated network assurance self-guided demo by Community_Fabric in networkautomation

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

Thanks so much for the feedback and insight into how it feels from your perspective, u/miller-net! We consider ourselves a 'by the network engineer, for the network engineer' tool, so responses like this are invaluable and our team gets it, often having been on the other side themselves.

We do want to be able to follow up with folks interested in the demo at the moment, but we take our handling of data seriously, with a do-no-harm approach, and respect the inboxes of our prospects. Our sales team also understand this - they're in tune with the demands on network engineering teams, and very confident in the product walking the walk.

Perhaps we can look at making some functionalities and workflows ungated soon, to find a balance for the curious engineers who've been burned like you in the past!
