Skills Gaps and Cyberattacks

Mounting cybersecurity challenges are driving strong demand for managed security services.

It’s a perfect storm for IT security professionals. The combination of rapidly expanding attack surfaces, a worsening skills shortage and an array of increasingly sophisticated threats is making cybersecurity a nearly impossible challenge.

A Better Approach to Disaster Recovery

DR-as-a-Service provides infrastructure, processes and expertise in a subscription-based model.

Organizations depend upon the around-the-clock availability of mission-critical IT systems — and that creates tremendous risk to the business. Disasters can and will occur, whether caused by human error, power interruptions, fire, water damage or weather-related events.

Cybersecurity Training Reduces Risk

Because humans are the greatest security vulnerability, organizations should educate employees to spot common forms of cyberattack.

Many small to midsize enterprises (SMEs) continue to operate under the misconception that they’re too small to be hacked.

Network Monitoring vs. Network Observability

Both techniques give organizations insight into the health of their networks to ensure reliability and optimal performance.

Network performance and availability affect virtually every area of an organization. The employee experience. The customer experience.

AI for SMBs

How small businesses are leveraging artificial intelligence to become more efficient and competitive.

There is a tendency to think of artificial intelligence (AI) as a highly advanced technology suitable only for large enterprise organizations with well-staffed teams of data experts and IT engineers.

Less is More

Passwordless authentication goes mainstream as organizations seek relief from chronic password problems.

Passwords have long represented the first line of defense against unauthorized access to networks, online accounts and sensitive data. But here’s the industry’s not-so-secret secret: Passwords don’t really work anymore — and they haven’t for quite some time.

Beyond the Basics

Smaller businesses increasingly seek managed services providers who offer consultative services and strategic guidance.

Managed services arrangements provide small and midsized businesses (SMBs) with budget-friendly alternatives to keeping seasoned IT professionals on payroll.

Ransomware Deemed ‘National Security Threat’

Feds are taking aggressive action to curb record levels of extortion malware.

With ransomware attacks reaching record levels, the White House has officially classified the extortion malware as a national security threat — a move designed to unlock “all elements of national power” to disrupt malicious cyber activity.

Strength in Numbers

Boost IT security with a layered approach combining multiple tools and solutions.

Elephant calves in the wild are protected by the herd, which will circle the calf in order to fend off lions, hyenas, crocodiles and other predators. The huge size and coordinated action of the adult elephants creates a defensive ring that successfully discourages attacks.

Cloud Challenges

Cost, security and talent remain limiting factors for cloud adoption, according to a new study.

The cloud is not merely a mainstream computing model — it is the basis for nearly every essential business technology initiative. That’s why the vast majority of organizations are aggressively pursuing public, private and hybrid cloud strategies to meet their future IT needs.
