Cloud computing is different from traditional on premise IT. The cloud is a shared infrastructure and when using shared infrastructures, organizations do not control much of the technology that underlies the cloud services they engage, especially networking. Shared infrastructures have their own security considerations that should be assessed before embracing the cloud.
Cloud Cost Containment
White Paper
Cloud services offer huge opportunities to transform speed, efficiency and operating costs of an organization. But forecasting and controlling cloud costs from multiple providers can quickly become an unmanageable headache that delays or even puts a stop to a successful innovation. Learn more with this free whitepaper.
Monitoring as a Service
White Paper
In order to keep a NOC and SOC running at peak efficiency, they need the best in tooling that can give them as close to complete visibility as possible and allow them to quickly query multiple data sources to root cause an issue. With all of this in mind, learn about next gen tooling in this free white paper.
Business Continuity
White Paper
You hear the term business continuity all the time. Most of us even have a preconceived notion of what it is. “Business continuity is disaster recovery”…”Incident response is business continuity”. In actuality business continuity is a much broader area which in reality addresses, amongst other things, both disaster recovery and incident response.
Containers and Cloud Computing
White Paper
You have probably heard of Docker. It’s the container system that has exploded onto the cloud computing scene just five years ago. But if you haven’t, you can think of containers as easily configured, lightweight VMs (virtual machines) that start up fast, often in under a second. Containers are ideal for micro-service architectures and for environments that scale rapidly or release often.
WannaCry: Protect Yourself
White Paper
The WannaCry Ransomware has highlighted a few areas in security where customers can tighten their defenses against malware today. Much of this advice relies on basic security hygiene while others bring in new tools that can assist with defending against WannaCry and other malware of its kind.
Ransomware Protection
Checklist
Ransomware attacks are increasing, but they’re not unstoppable. There is no single layer or control that can be implemented which will completely protect you. Using a layered approach to fight against ransomware and going back-to-basics is the best method to use when defending against attack.
Inclusive Sports Fitness
Case Study
Inclusive Sports and Fitness (ISF) provides physical fitness and sports performance training to children on the autism spectrum or living with other developmental challenges. Initially, Contemporary Computer Services (CCSI), a New York-based systems solution company and Axis partner, planned to install a couple of AXIS Companion Dome Cameras and AXIS Companion video management software for building security. But after brainstorming with CCSI and Axis, ISF also learned how they could use cameras to visually document their athletes’ progress over time.
Professional Group Plans
Case Study
CCSI presented a state-of-the-art SD-WAN solution to replace one MPLS connection with SD-WAN. This equipped Professional Group Plans with a network that has total visibility and control with error correction for increased reliability with significant savings. Check out the full case study.
Scale and Segment the Cloud
Will your disaster recover plan be effective?
This white paper provides key security considerations for different cloud environments, and explains the need to fundamentally scale protection and provide segmentation within and across cloud environments to maintain a strong security posture.
