Most organizations have adopted a multicloud strategy that creates a “mix and match” approach to security. Yet there’s a problem with this reliance on cloud providers. Unlike legacy on-prem solutions that were managed with a common security management solution, the security posture for public clouds varies significantly based on provider. It’s not within the client’s […]

Most telecom operators have been in business for many years and as a result have many disparate systems scattered across the organization. These include front end system that run the networks, as well as back end systems that take care of customer engagements and billing. But as most telcos well understand, they can’t continue to […]

As companies increasingly move to cloud architectures, they’re looking for ways to increase security while also reducing complexity and operating costs. And of course the move to remote work – which boosts the need for hybrid cloud and Software as a Service – only accelerates the need for these requirements. All of these requirements can […]

It’s becoming a hybrid cloud world, as more enterprises move to deploy workloads across multiple public cloud providers as well as private clouds. Of course there are many good reasons for moving to the cloud, including elasticity of compute capability, and the need for a modern application environment. But one area that hasn’t seen enough […]

/images/stories/knowledge_center/analysts_corner.gifIt’s now been a little over four weeks since RSA SecurID, the famed two-factor authentication user token system, was hacked. It had long been assumed that this system was hack-proof given its record of security enablement at some of the largest corporations and government agencies. Yet, in the end, like most security breaches, it was […]

There is an entire class of business applications that would clearly benefit from a mobile tablet computer’s touch interface and highly interactive and intuitive capabilities. However, in a business setting, workers often need fixed-location, walk-up types of applications that work best on large screens (20+ inches), in real time, over a fast connection (not always […]

The whole WikiLeaks event speaks volumes about how truly unserious (or worse, incompetent) the United States government is about security. This is not a new exposure area, as companies have been dealing with “data leakage” problems for years. It’s not like there aren’t lots of tools out there already that can track document access and […]

RIM’s PlayBook is not even in the market yet, but the speculation about what it can and can’t do is running rampant. Some even believed that it was all smoke and mirrors and the device never really existed (conspiracy theories abound on the Internet). But recently, at the Adobe MAX Conference, RIM’s co-CEO Mike Lazaridis […]

HP, working from its recent acquisition of Palm, has released its first new smartphone device to the market. The new Pre looks substantial and runs the latest version of WebOS, a modern operating system that could have been a real contender if it was out one to two years earlier. But is WebOS a credible […]

It’s official. Microsoft has finally announced Windows Phone 7, although much of what they announced has been a pretty well-known fact for some time now. Much of the announcement event centered on showing just how radical a change Windows Phone 7 is from previous Windows Phone devices-and indeed it is. It’s far sleeker, friendlier to […]
