The Cisco 2016 Annual Security Report is now available. It is one of the must-read documents for IT Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and their staffs, as it provides detailed insights into cloud security.
Intel may have huge plans for the IoT in the near future, but it is still a chipmaker first. That said, the company knows that consumer interest in PCs and PC hardware is down. However, businesses still need computing horsepower, which Intel is more than happy to address with the launch of its 6th Generation Intel Core vPro processor family.
By all measures, it would appear that businesses have accepted the cloud. There was a time when information technology executives on the whole remained hesitant to trust their infrastructures to a cloud environment for a variety of reasons. This mistrust manifested in instances where cloud services were refused on the basis of privacy concerns, security concerns, operational challenges, and an inability to control information once it left the campus.
For the Cloud Security Resource Community, and for IT professionals involved in using technology to mitigate risks in general, you are probably tired of the retrospective articles about electronic security challenges in 2015 where the consensus view was that 2015 was a vintage year for the bad guys. The almost daily headlines alone were all that was needed to validate those claims. You are also probably already exhausted from the predictions that 2016 is going to be an even better year for those with evil intent as their attacks become more sophisticated, frequent and pervasive.
The tech community has been closely following the political battle over backdoor policies. Users across the world are using fully encrypted communication services - most notably WhatsApp, Kik, and other messaging platforms - which give law enforcement no oversight, metadata, or access to individual messages. American surveillance agencies and more conservative members of Congress are rallying against encrypted services. They claim that without access to communication records, the government cannot keep the American populace safe. Opponents say these agencies are compromising citizens' privacy and liberty by eliminating one of the last safe havens of private cyberspace.
Datapipe, a provider of secure managed hosting and cloud solutions for enterprises and the government, was named a 2015 Storage, Virtualization, Cloud (SVC) Awards winner in the Security Product of the Year category for its Datapipe Access Control Model for Amazon Web Services (DACMA).
