Almost all decisions and strategies in modern organizations are data-driven. Data breaches that make the data inaccessible can therefore tamper with normal company operations. Also, if it gets in the wrong hands, such sensitive data can be used to harm the company and third parties, such as suppliers, employees, and customers. Unfortunately, the prioritized digitization and automation of IT systems have made companies more vulnerable to data breaches.

As a result, cyber-criminals find them appealing targets. By 2018, approximately 60% of firms polled had experienced a compromise in their industrial control (ICS) or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) technologies.

With the advancements in technology every year, the need for protection against cyber threats increases as well. Stronger technologies mean hackers and cyber attackers have better weapons to hit us with. Some industries are prone to more intensive and frequent cyber attacks than others. Those industries need the latest and up-to-date cybersecurity practices to keep their data safe. That’s because these industries could offer more valuable pieces of information to the attackers.

VDI Brief

As the use of Hyper-Convergence technology spreads throughout the industry, desktop virtualization has followed in this lead because HCI is a great platform for execution. Three of the main VDI players at this time would be Citrix, VMWare, and Microsoft. What is great about VDI, is that you are not necessarily tied to one specific vendor. For Example, your broker could be provided by Citrix, while the backend infrastructure could be provided by Microsoft, or VMWare. One thing to know about VDI is what it is not. It is not just the virtualization of desktops. It’s essentially a whole infrastructure based on supplying the desktop experience to the end user without necessarily having a desktop.
