Unlocking the Cloud Operating Model

Cloud, Information Technology /

Unlocking the Cloud Operating Model For most enterprises, digital transformation efforts mean delivering new business and customer value more quickly, and at a very large scale. The implication for Enterprise IT then is a shift from cost optimization to speed optimization. The cloud is an inevitable part of this shift as it presents the opportunity to rapidly deploy on-demand services with limitless scale. To unlock the fastest path to value of the cloud, enterprises must consider how to industrialize the application delivery process across each layer of the cloud: embracing the cloud operating model, and tuning people, process, and tools to it. In this white paper, we look at the implications of the cloud operating model, and present solutions for IT teams to adopt this model across infrastructure, security, networking, and application delivery.

How to Fuel Ad Sales with Your Tech Stack

How to Fuel Ad Sales with Your Tech Stack Ad sales aren’t what they used to be. Ask any traditional publisher. In the newspaper industry alone, advertising revenue dropped 13% in just one year, from $16.5 billion in 2017 to $14.3 billion in 2018.1 For newspapers and magazines collectively, an 18% drop in traditional ad spend was anticipated in 2019. Meanwhile, the process of selling ads and managing those sales, has grown more complex. Publishers often employ different staffs for print and digital advertising. These reps sell ads that are viewed on everything from print pages to laptop screens, from tablets to smartphones and other connected devices. Siloed, disconnected systems inhibit collaboration and productivity among teams, as well as hinder efforts to match the right advertiser with the right product.

Enterprise Supernova: The Data Dispersion Cloud Adoption and Risk Report

Cloud, Information Technology /

Enterprise Supernova: The Data Dispersion Cloud Adoption and Risk Report The stars in our universe are fueled by nuclear energy at their core. Over time, that fuel burns out, causing the star to cool. A supernova occurs at the end of a star’s life, when the core has cooled to the point where the external force of gravity is stronger than its internal fuel source can handle, ultimately causing a massive explosion of its matter into the universe. Modern enterprises are fueled by data. The force of the cloud has been like gravity in a supernova, causing data to explode outward and disperse forever. No longer constrained by the network, the free flow of data to cloud service providers and a wide range of devices fragments visibility and control for enterprise security.

The time for virtual desktops is now. Citrix and Microsoft is how Are your desktops ready for the cloud? IT departments of all shapes and sizes across the globe have continuously retooled their approach to desktop management in an ongoing effort to strike a balance between user experience, security, and IT management overhead. From desktop images and automated deployments to server-based remote desktops and virtual applications, it’s been quite a ride. Then came on-premises virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), and now virtual desktops hosted in the cloud is where your company wants to be. How do you get there?

From the Node Up: The Complete Guide to Kubernetes Security

Cloud, Information Technology /

From the Node Up: The Complete Guide to Kubernetes Security Most discussions of Kubernetes® security focus on how challenging it is to secure a cluster. Kubernetes offers only a handful of native security features, we’re told, which makes it exceedingly difficult to secure every layer of a Kubernetes environment.  This eBook explains how to design a security strategy that reinforces, rather than hinders, the rest of your Kubernetes-based processes. It identifies Kubernetes security challenges from the node up and pinpoints specific solutions for addressing each of them, with a focus on automated, scalable approaches that will keep Kubernetes-based workloads secure, no matter how large your cluster is or which type of infrastructure you use to host it—on-premises, public cloud, or managed service.

Implementing Cloud Native Security: Shift-Left to Increase Effectiveness

Cloud, Information Technology /

Implementing Cloud Native Security: Shift-Left to Increase Effectiveness Many in IT, security, and development probably understand what these concepts mean at a high level. Implementing them in a practical sense, however, may be harder. Not only do you need to gain organization-wide buy-in for the value that modern security strategies provide, but you must also determine the most efficient and effective ways of integrating them into workflows and tool sets that are already in place.  This guide is designed to address that challenge by exploring what modern, shift-left security entails. We start by defining modern security paradigms and explaining their importance. We then walk through practical strategies for putting those security philosophies into practice, with guidance broken down according to the different IT architectural strategies that organizations commonly have in place today.

Zero Trust: No confiar en nada. Autenticar y autorizar todo.

Leave a Comment / Cloud, Information Technology /

Zero Trust: No confiar en nada. Autenticar y autorizar todo. Cuando las compañías se trasladan a la nube, las medidas que tomaron para proteger sus centros de datos privados comienzan a desaparecer. El acceso y los perímetros basados en IP se reemplazan por direcciones IP efímeras y una fuerza de trabajo en constante cambio que tiene la necesidad de acceder a recursos compartidos. Gestionar el acceso y las IP a escala se vuelve una tarea delicada y compleja. Proteger la infraestructura, los datos y el acceso se torna cada vez más difícil en centros de datos en la nube y locales, y requiere altos niveles de gasto general y experiencia. Este cambio exige un enfoque diferente de la seguridad, un modelo de confianza distinto. Uno que no confíe en nada y que autentique y autorice todo. Dado que se trata de un entorno altamente dinámico, las organizaciones hablan de un enfoque de “confianza cero” para la seguridad en la nube. ¿Qué significa realmente “confianza cero” y qué se necesita para implementarlo con éxito?
