Digital transformation is a top priority for business leaders who use tech to provide more value to customers, workers, and stakeholders. It involves reshaping businesses processes, corporate culture, and IT operations.
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) wanted a solution that reduced the cost of running its client estate whilst also helping it complete an urgent company-wide migration to Windows 10. The solution needed to free up the IT team so they could focus on innovation, align with the BHF’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals and provide ...
Over three-quarters of employees want the option to work from home at least part-time. The ability to support a remote work program can help an organization retain employees and is a crucial component of a business continuity plan. While not every remote worker needs a full corporate environment to do their jobs, some do. For ...
Digital acceleration, defined by initiatives that include ubiquitous connectivity, migration to the cloud, and investment in next-generation networking technologies, has driven many advancements in the IT industry. Wired and wireless networks are no exceptions. The local-area network (LAN) wired and wireless forms the backbone of IT, enabling next-generation applications and increasing user productivity. The LAN ...
The wired and wireless local area network (LAN) forms the backbone of IT. It enables next-generation applications and can boost user productivity. As such, the LAN not only greatly impacts user experience, but is also the beginning or end of many security events. Today’s IT administrators need to build their next-generation networks with a focus ...
To stay competitive, a high-performing network that meets the needs of digital acceleration initiatives is critical. Sometimes it’s difficult to know what to focus on, as there are a lot of different factors that can impact performance, from the architecture chosen, to the age of the equipment, to the client devices. Another key contributor that ...
Today’s networks are expected to do more than deliver connectivity and bandwidth. To optimize performance and enable additional functionality, a network needs to be intelligent. The more intelligent the network, the better it will perform, and the more tasks it can offload from IT teams. A network that has built-in intelligence cuts down on the ...
The rapid growth of personal and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices connecting to enterprise networks has increased the need to have fine-grained control over what is allowed into the network and with what permissions. Network access control (NAC) solutions can ensure only devices that should attach to the network do, and can restrict what they have access ...
According to Gartner’s Case-Based Research, the three most pervasive challenges that AI addresses are lack of detection capability, inadequate security posture, and poor operational efficiency. In many ways, cybersecurity is becoming a big data problem, given the volume and sophistication of cybercampaigns. Fortunately, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for cyberattack detection is a rapidly ...
Endpoint security solutions range from the original antivirus solutions of yesteryear to extended detection and response (XDR) platforms that tie multiple security solutions together for a better ecosystem. As the needs arise for endpoint security solutions, vendors will attempt to make their solutions match buyer expectations and analyst terms through their messaging but not their ...
According to Gartner, the rapid evolution and sophistication of cyberattacks and the migration of assets to the hybrid multi-cloud create a perfect storm. IT leaders must integrate security tools into a cooperative, consolidated ecosystem using a composable and scalable cybersecurity mesh architecture (CSMA) approach. By 2024, organizations adopting a CSMA to integrate security tools to ...
Endpoint security solutions range from signature-based endpoint protection platform (EPP) or antivirus (AV) solutions to extended detection and response (XDR) platforms that tie multiple security solutions together. Organizations that are evaluating endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions need to ensure that the products they are considering will meet their needs in the following areas. Discover ...
Today’s organizations have a broad digital attack surface spanning a diverse set of devices, user locations, networks, and clouds, providing many avenues of entry and exfiltration for cybercriminals. Increasingly, these cybercriminals are doing more than stealing data, often encrypting whole systems and interrupting business operations with ransomware, a threat that’s increased 15x over the past ...
According to the Fortinet February 2022 Global Threat Landscape Report, industries worldwide experienced a dramatic 15x growth in ransomware volume over the past 18 months, with sustained volume throughout 2021. Furthermore, attacks are harder to stop because of the evolution of increasing capabilities thanks to a very active economy of threat actors with fresh code ...
Many of today’s cyberattacks are broken into multiple stages of activity, each of which on its own is often difficult to discern as malicious rather than benign. Discernment is even more difficult given the volume of legitimate activity within which it naturally occurs given the diversity of work styles, devices, networks, applications, and cloud-delivery locations. ...
Today’s ransomware is often specifically engineered to bypass traditional, prevention-oriented security controls by distributing campaigns across multiple stages, each increasingly engineered to leverage legitimate applications, communications, and other activities to blend in with normal operations. This sophistication makes it exceptionally difficult for even seasoned security staff to detect attacks in progress amid the high volume ...
