Friends With Benefits - and the Problems They Create

Friends With Benefits - and the Problems They Create

Every business has important partners that it engages on an ongoing basis. Today, the overwhelming majority of interactions between important business allies take place electronically. It’s very common, for example, for partners to have the log-in credentials to any number of companies with whom they engage. But there’s a downside to all this electronic coziness: the risk of data, applications and network compromise. Remember the Target attack? It all started when an outsid

Need a Cloud Strategy that Doesn't Cast a Shadow on App Performance?

The promises of the cloud include infinitely scalable environments, expedited deployment of applications and expanded user access. But the shift to the cloud can also be riddled with uncontrollable routing, little handling of QoS, latency, and a lack of visibility and control over end user experience. This results in slower app performance, unproductive users, and a frustrated IT organization – only increasing the cost of doing business. So, as you plan your cloud strate

Dealing with the Threat Within, Customer Employees

If you provide security protection for a living, you dread waking up to learn that one of your customers has succumbed to an attack from outside rogue source.

Monitoring The Cloud: Keeping an Eye on What You Can't See

Monitoring The Cloud: Keeping an Eye on What You Can't See

When IT worked within brick and mortal walls, monitoring the network was easy. But with the shift to using cloud-based data centers, virtualization, and IaaS, knowing what you have – let alone, how well it’s working – is a challenge. So, how can you ensure an ever-changing environment runs optimized when you can’t even see it? In this recorded webcast, join industry expert and founder of Techvangelism, Nick Cavalancia, and Benjamin Day from Paessler, as they discuss:

Availability and the Modern Data Center: Why Backup Is Dead

Availability and the Modern Data Center: Why Backup Is Dead

Your data center is defined by today’s modern business need of "always on with zero downtime". And yet, you’re still relying on age old backup methods and technologies whose performance, at best, is still measured in terms of hours or days. So, what’s the difference between traditional backups and true availability – and how do you bridge that gap?

SharePoint Security: Bridging The Active Directory Gap

SharePoint Security: Bridging The Active Directory Gap

When it comes to SharePoint, even implementing security is about collaboration. While SharePoint can be self-sufficient with its’ internal security, it makes more sense to take advantage of already established Active Directory groups. While this can make the lives of the SharePoint folks simpler by utilizing AD groups to grant permissions, it also complicates things since they have no control over who gets added as a member. And the AD folks aren’t about to create even more

Active Directory Groups: Out of Sight, Out of Mind, Out of Control

If you’re like most IT organizations, AD groups are one of those tasks that are “set it and forget it.” But after years of neglect, you’re now in charge of massive numbers of groups with no documentation, rampant security issues, and the charge to get it organized to meet security and compliance objectives.

Protecting Windows Endpoints: It's The Least You Should Do

Your endpoints – both your workstations and servers – represent some of the most exposed attack targets on your network. By accessing email and the web, these machines can entertain a direct line to malicious code. And users requiring varying levels of elevated privileges place IT in the precarious position of balancing the potential risk to the network with the needed productivity of the user. So, how do you protect your endpoints while still keeping users productive? In t

Privileged Passwords: Preserving and Protecting in the Face of Peril

Elevated privileges are a necessary part of IT. After all, you simply cannot do your job without them.

Active Directory Groups and Insider Threats

Active Directory Groups and Insider Threats

Everyone’s got them – Insiders. Some have only been here a few days, and others more years than even you. And, technically, you’re the ones enabling them to access critical data, sensitive intellectual property, customer lists, and more… all through the simplest of AD management tasks – group memberships. So are insiders (that is, your users) a problem and is IT adding to that problem when it comes to insider threats? Not every Insider is a problem. And not every IT departmen

Hyper-V: Enhance Your Virtualization Experience

Hyper-V: Enhance Your Virtualization Experience

Virtualization was something that was supposed to simplify our lives. And, in some ways, it has, but in others it’s complicated things. In it’s early days, virtualization was as easy as a single server and a few VMs, but today’s virtualization has multiple hypervisors, clusters, server farms, virtualized or shared storage, and the list goes on.
