Organizations have come to rely on the cloud for many of their computing workloads. This trend has been accelerated by the urgent prioritization of security, the redefined needs of the hybrid and distributed workforce, and a surge in data analytics, machine learning (ML), and artificial intelligence (AI) that benefit from the cloud’s uninterrupted access to software, data, and other resources, anywhere, at any time. The cloud also connects organizations, networks, and users to edge computing devices and systems. These trends yield a vastly expanded, diverse range of users, devices, and applica

Zero trust is a comprehensive security strategy that is designed to protect all hardware, software, data, and users on an organization’s network and in the cloud. A zero trust approach to security differs from the more traditional perimeter defense strategy. In a perimeter defense, the organization protects the boundaries of its private network with firewalls and multilayered software security solutions to regulate and filter traffic to and from the public network. Once a user or device has been verified and admitted to the private network, it is typically treated as a trusted resource. By con

Endpoint security is a critical IT function that helps protect devices, users, networks, and the entire organization from unauthorized access and cyber threats. The most common endpoint security solutions are deployed on the network itself, with a combination of firewalls and antivirus software. If users work remotely, however, their devices may operate outside the organization’s firewall and connect to the network through unsecured or shared Wi-Fi. With little control over the remote users’ network security, IT must manage the devices themselves. Hardware-based security capabilities of the In

IT transformation is the strategy behind preparing your hardware, software, systems, and practices for the challenges of both the present and the future—ensuring your business stays competitive. This means more than upgrading to the latest and greatest in IT infrastructure. It involves making smart investments to your compute, storage, and network layers to achieve the just-right balance of cost, performance, and efficiency, with the ability to scale as needed. Accomplishing all this depends on the people in your organization. The cultural aspect of IT transformation cannot be overlooked: peop
