  • By 2014, 60% of global companies are expected to pilot, deploy or expand their BYOD programs (RainKing). As BYOD has become a fixture in the workplace, with 72% of employees clamoring to have their personal devices work-enabled, the IT industry has watched as the familiar “perimeter" model has become untenable. Data is going to more places, and ending up on a wider variety of devices, than ever before. A new model for protecting data has become a necessity. Organizations have tried to do so in a multitude of ways: extending policies to cover mobile devices, monitoring usage, MDM solutions, and even NAC; all have been methods used to try and create the most stable environment for mobile technology. Let Integralis security expert Mike Gabriel explain how to best balance mobile productivity and security in this Security Talks installment.

    Why Attend?

    1.Discover how your peers are trying to protect mobile data.
    2.See how the perimeter is being sculpted (or not) by the IT industry.
    3.Find out what the future holds for BYOD in the workplace.

  • Over the years true MSPs have had to work diligently to differentiate themselves from companies that are at best, not true MSPs and at worst, are shady fly-by-night operators. This is where the Unified Certification Standard or (UCS) for Cloud & Managed Service Providers comes in.

    The UCS was created by a team of dedicated MSPs to address the shortfalls of existing standards like ISO 27001, ITIL, CoBIT, SSAE 16, which were never intended for managed services organizations and offered little in the way of consumer protection.

    CASE IN POINT: Many MSPs do NOT fail because of technical deficiencies, but due to financial risk. Because of this, customers have very little insight into the service provider's business practices and financial strengths and capabilities.

    Attend this webcast and you will hear from real MSP executives on how the UCS certification and audit has helped them to:

    - Win new business
    - Provide needed transparency to customers
    - Achieve compliance objectives
    - Quickly develop trust with customers and prospects
    - Provide documentation on how those MSPs deliver their services
    - And much more...

    Both Cloud and Managed Service Providers should attend this webcast and at least begin to follow the standards necessary to achieve managed services and cloud computing excellence.

  • When a business rolls out IT systems to run its operations, the basic foundation on which the system is built is the network that carries the traffic. To be able to solve problems in such a complex environment, it's vitally important to know what is happening on the network. Whether it's the behavior of the applications, behavior of the users or rogue elements that interfere with application delivery, knowing what is going on is half the battle of solving the problem.

    This short video will discuss why having a well-designed workflow for identifying suspect traffic patterns and finding even the smallest volume of interesting data can make the difference in finding the culprit of pesky performance problems.

  • Making Continuous Integration Truly Continuous (Wind River & Electric Cloud) Recorded: May 23 2012 51 mins
    Continuous integration (CI) is one of the core best practices of agile development. It is intended to support the agile development precept to "deliver working software frequently" by allowing teams to regularly validate their code changes. But achieving the benefits of CI is often hampered by the need to commit changes to the code base before they can be fully tested. This reactive approach results in broken builds, builds that do not pass system or smoke tests, and, inevitably, wasted time by the individual developer or the team at large.
    Join Wind River and Electric Cloud as we discuss the concept of "preflight operations"—giving developers the ability to fully build and test their changes before committing them to the source code repository.

    By attending this webinar you will learn:
    •How to reap the full benefits of CI and Agile development by employing “preflight operations”
    •How the build a system in isolation, ensuring your changes won’t break other concurrent changes
    •How to minimize build times, by running parallel builds and optimizing checkout times
    •How to minimize test cycles by avoiding irrelevant tests
  • 5 Reasons Why Agile Won't Scale Without Automation Recorded: Apr 24 2012 51 mins
