Cybersecurity has been a major focus of government agencies, but they are investing in physical security as well. The Department of Homeland Security, which bears much of the responsibility for federal government security, earmarked some $12 billion for physical security in 2024. The department asked for additional funding for its fiscal 2025 budget.

Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions emerged more than a decade ago and have seen broad adoption in organizations of all sizes. The value proposition remains the same: HCI makes good business sense for organizations with limited IT resources and the need to respond to changing business demands.

The proliferation of endpoint devices has dramatically expanded the typical organization’s IT footprint — and the network attack surface. Every desktop, laptop and mobile device is a potential vulnerability that could give threat actors a foothold in the IT environment.

Today, networks must support increasing numbers of devices, including smartphones and tablets, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and a host of other connected systems. Organizations are also adopting AI-powered tools, which require a constant flow of data.

A qualified managed services provider minimizes the risk of downtime through ongoing monitoring, proactive maintenance and rapid troubleshooting of issues.

Severe IT outages are increasingly rare, thanks to more reliable IT equipment and investments in backup and disaster recovery systems.

A compromised privileged account can give an attacker virtually unfettered access to the IT environment. Here are nine tips for security them.

Privileged account management is one of the most critical components of any enterprise security strategy. Cybercriminals prize privileged account credentials because they provide administrator-level access to servers, security systems, network devices, applications and other resources.

On-premises or the cloud? For most organizations, the answer is a combination of both.

Organizations continue to capitalize on the benefits of the public cloud: minimal capital investments, seamless scalability and simplified management. However, they’re also recognizing its drawbacks.

Meeting spaces have come a long way in just a few years. Not that long ago, conference rooms were furnished with a table and chairs and one screen for PowerPoint presentations. Only the boardroom or executive meeting room had video conferencing, typically a complex and expensive system that saw limited use.

Organizations adopt Microsoft 365 for a wide variety of reasons. Some seek to take advantage of Microsoft Teams for collaboration and to access applications and data from anywhere. Others may be looking to consolidate redundant services and take advantage of a proven platform for file sharing and storage.

Cybersecurity has been heavily focused on endpoints in recent years — and with good reason. A wide range of endpoints now connect to company networks, including traditional desktops and laptops, mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and more.
