9 Tips for Thwarting Emerging Threats

The security landscape is continually changing, and our last post described a few of the latest threats cybercriminals are employing in their efforts to compromise your networks and endpoints. As threats evolve, organizations must continue to employ a variety of strong countermeasures.

As Technology Evolves, So Do Threats

Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, with mobile, cloud, analytics and other big initiatives driving significant shifts in the IT world. Rest assured that cybercriminals are doing their best to keep pace.

Security experts predict that malicious threat actors will differentiate their tactics in the coming months in order to capitalize on the changing technology landscape.

Security Skills Gap

Studies reveal dearth of cybersecurity talent is creating measurable damage.

Security incidents are increasing in sophistication and frequency, yet industry studies find that an alarming shortage of cybersecurity talent is resulting in direct and measurable damage to companies worldwide.

WLAN Evolution

Network design focus shifts from coverage to capacity.

Anthropologists say there was no appreciable improvement in the design of stone hand axes for some 60,000 generations — a period sometimes referred to as “the million years of boredom.” However, the emergence of metallurgy enabled new methods of toolmaking, sparked the transition from the Stone Age to the Metal Age, and inspired profound social evolution.

UCaaS Drives Change

Cloud-based communications platforms enable new business models.

Unified-Communications-as-a-Service (UCaaS) is poised for accelerated growth in 2017, analysts say, as organizations look to cloud-based platforms not only to improve communications but to drive a fundamental shift in organizational structure.

Focused Expertise

Kids Central relies on Verteks for IT monitoring, management and support, and access to a full team of technology experts.

Smaller organizations rely on technology as much as their larger counterparts but typically don’t have in-house expertise across the full spectrum of IT disciplines.

Maximizing the Value and Minimizing the Risks of a Network Upgrade

In our last post, we explained why a network upgrade is the inevitable consequence of digital transformation. Cloud computing, mobility and analytics solutions are increasing the strain on already overburdened networks. Legacy network architectures simply aren’t capable of handling today’s bandwidth demands, creating bottlenecks that negatively impact application performance and the user experience.
