Endpoint Devices & the Battle for Data Security
Written by Jaspreet on June 13, 2013
As printed in Healthcare Global magazine
The daily process of treating patients has been compared more than once to a military operation – and with good reason. After all, everything of real importance takes place on the front lines, at the point of patient contact. All else is purely support.
That analogy extends to the flow of data. Information has to make it to the front lines in order to be effective. Trouble is, that imperative also makes data—especially patient data—vulnerable to attack from … More »

With SHODAN at the Door, is it Still Possible to Lock Down Data?
Written by Jaspreet on May 30, 2013
As posted on Wired.com
The real-world SHODAN isn’t as malevolent as its fictional namesake. But in the wrong hands, it most definitely could be.
Although it has been around since 2009, SHODAN (taken from Sentient Hyper-Optimized Data Access Network, a form of artificial intelligence presented as a character in the video game System Shock) is currently being re-evaluated as one of the Internet’s biggest potential data security threats. That’s because SHODAN is a search engine designed not to locate websites and information … More »

Admin Audit Trails: Why Visibility Shouldn’t Stop with End Users
Written by Chandar on May 23, 2013
One of the ironies of IT managed software is that it allows IT to track detailed activities that an end user performs, but generally fails to automatically document actions performed by IT administrators themselves. If an IT admin makes an inadvertent policy configuration, accesses sensitive data, or changes access permissions, there is typically no default audit trail offering a quick-fix way to diagnose and undo the damage.

Eliminate Migration Pain: Backup Your Settings
Written by Chandar on May 16, 2013
Migrating to new devices or operating systems has never been easy, especially for IT teams dealing with enterprise-wide technology refreshes, but these days it’s downright painful. The blame lies squarely with the rapidly changing technology landscape.
The average employee no longer has only one device but 2.8, nearly tripling IT time dedicated to device setup. The vulnerability of mobile devices to loss and theft has added to the load. One laptop is stolen every 53 seconds, 70 million smartphones are misplaced … More »

A perfect storm is brewing on the data security front, and it’s setting businesses up for a tidal wave of data breaches that may make today’s flood seem like a trickle.
A key contributor is the ongoing explosion in the world’s data stores. The volume of digital business information is now doubling every 14 months.
