  • 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

  • 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.

  • The Impact of Application Performance and Availability on your Business Recorded: Jan 29 2013 46 mins
    “Supporting these applications requires skills we don’t have.”
    “Our applications are unstable.”
    “We had ten people on a 32-hour conference call.”
    “We can’t get less than 30-second response time.”

    Surprisingly, these comments weren’t dug out of a vault from interviews conducted with IT directors 5, 7 or more years ago. These concerns, these revenue impacting struggles were published in an Enterprise Management Associates (EMA™) research study conducted about APM in the IT Enterprise in November 2012.

    Why is ensuring optimal application performance still so elusive?

    Today’s IT organizations are discovering that managing modern, complex applications is an expensive, time-consuming and often frustrating proposition.

    Furthermore, it is only when customer expectations aren’t met that IT is on the front lines, yet, this EMA report finds that calls from users is still the most common way IT is alerted that applications aren’t performing as expected.

    Join the author of this study, Julie Craig, along with CA Technologies Jason Meserve as they discuss the research results and dig further into the conclusions in her paper, “The Impact of Application Performance and Availability on your Business – and Your Customers”.
