  • Virtualization, cloud computing, hybrid environments and BYOD are here to stay. When implemented successfully, these solutions can transform the way businesses operate and lower the OPEX and CAPEX costs of IT departments. However, these major IT trends cannot be considered separately: virtualization and cloud are often linked, and needs for anytime anywhere connectivity and mobile workforce enablement won't wait. This is why it's essential to have a holistic approach and address the business, technology and financial implications of today for tomorrow's needs.

  • The Lazy Attacker: Defending Against Broad-based Cyber Attacks with Unified & Collaborative Defenses

    Advanced Persistent Attacks (APTs) get most of the attention from the cyber security community because, as defenders, we want to be vigilant against the most insidious techniques. However, this unilateral mindset ignores a much less interesting reality. Generally, cyber criminals are as lazy as criminals in the “real world.” What do we mean by lazy? Attackers will use the “lowest common denominator” method against the widest range of IP addresses from the same source set of IP addresses - which means that sharing information about their methods with others, and implementing simple defenses are best practices.

    Adjusting your focus from the “shiny object” of APTs to those broad-based threats can help prioritize your own defenses and optimize your incident response program. Attend this webinar to hear directly from Jaime Blasco, Director of AlienVault Labs, on how you can:

    * Understand the common exploit methods of the “lazy attacker”
    * Review the benefits of a collaborative approach to threat intelligence
    * Prioritize defensive tactics and remediation activities
    * Implement a unified, simplified approach to threat management

  • Software Defined Storage. Is it just another buzzword or can the concept bring meaningful change to the way storage is acquired, implemented and used? As vendors race to jump on the "software defined" bandwagon, Storage Switzerland set out to explain the term, provide users with an understanding of how software defined storage can solve many of their current storage challenges and provide a way to decide which vendors are really delivering a software defined storage future.

  • One of the key benefits of running IT as a business is your ability to provide your users with choices. When it comes to storage, you often face both exploding user demand and low utilization rates.

    This session will discuss the Technology Business Management (TBM) framework, which provides you with a mechanism to understand your storage consumption patterns and fully burdened costs, benchmark your storage costs against your peers, and communicate the value of storage to your users to drive accountability.

    You will walk away with a crisp understanding of how you can improve return on storage assets and make informed decisions to balance storage utilization, demand, and cost.
  • When an organization has a distributed or mobile workforce or requires executives or key personnel to work from home, the issue of securing the business critical data becomes especially problematic. In most cases today, responsibility for the security of the file data is the left up to the individual end user. Theft or even the borrowing of the mobile device leaves critical file data exposed.

    The rapid growth of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) brings cost savings and efficiency for organizations but also a greater risk of security breaches. Today, no control or reporting of use of critical data on mobile devices is possible and this creates regulatory problems.

    Join your fellow professionals to understand the storage implications for storing file data in a distributed world and best practices on file data security.
  • Is your organization trying to contain costs as Big Data and other initiatives increase the demand for more storage? As the volumes of data continue to increase, so does the need for organizations to cost-effectively manage all their storage assets. In this webinar we will cover multiple options for managing storage. You will learn about discovery of storage assets across SAN, NAS, and multi-vendor platforms. We will discuss practical ways to use trending analysis, forecasting and optimization to cost-effectively address current and future growth requirements. Our discussion will also include an explanation of how integration with other solutions can lead to greater efficiencies through runbook automation as well as incident and configuration management.

He has worked with many global enterprises and has years of direct experience helping organizations evaluate and deploy storage systems and management software. Prior to working as a consultant, Nick was an operations software specialist for HP Global Accounts.
