In the age of GDPR, more organizations are looking to data classification - including more automated techniques for doing so - as a way to not only help them protect their crown jewels, but in the case of a breach quickly identify what went missing, says Digital Guardian's Tony Themelis.
A computer security researcher has discovered a vast marketing database containing 340 million records on U.S. consumers. The database is the latest in a long line of databases to have been left exposed to the internet without authentication, thus putting people's personal data at risk.
In a reversal, chipmaker AMD is now warning that its chips are susceptible to the speculative execution flaws in microprocessors known as Spectre, but not to the Meltdown. Separately, Intel has confirmed that its firmware updates have led to stability problems for older Broadwell and Haswell processors.
Following the alert over Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, the U.K. Information Commissioner's Office is warning that failures to patch today could be punished with fines under GDPR once enforcement of the data protection law begins later this year.
As digital threats grow more numerous and perpetrators become savvier, you can't defend your network by taking the traditional, physical approach to IT security. Standard perimeter firewalls aren't designed to protect your critical workloads once an attack makes it inside the data center, and the "firewall-everything"...
The latest statistics on data center breaches show that perimeter firewalls are still not impenetrable. But what cyber criminals count on is what they will find beyond the perimeter - a hardware-centric security model that has remained unchanged for years.

Traditional perimeter-centric data center security strategies are no longer effective against today's malicious and highly sophisticated attacks. While tremendous effort, resources, and technology are applied to securing the perimeter of the data center, until recently, nothing resembling that same level of thought...
With so much of a typical IT infrastructure operating in a virtualized manner these days, IT organizations can experience a variety of challenges when protecting, recovering, and ensuring the availability of mission-critical platforms. Whenever IT modernizes any aspect of a specific production platform, it must also...
Hardware-centric networks are not able to keep up with the demands of business today, not to mention the growing security threats that exist. Read this solution overview to discover how implementing a network virtualization solution for your business will make your life easier.

For businesses to achieve their digital transformation goals, IT teams must do an increasingly better job to ensure system availability and protection. In this survey of over 1,000 global IT decision makers, it was found that enterprises had a startling high amount of unreliably recoverable data within their...
IT environments continue to evolve beyond physical servers. Today, many important production resources operate on virtual machines (VMs) running on multiple hypervisors, and more organizations have been moving their mission-critical business processes offsite to the cloud. As a result, the requirements for protecting...
Understanding cost and complexity drivers is important when evaluating options for data protection and availability, as cost has several dimensions beyond acquisition. Staff costs, operational costs, migration costs, licensing models, and, most importantly, the cost of doing nothing have to be considered.
So how...
In an ever-evolving market, one thing remains the same: Who will win the race? In this case, it's the race to zero. As data availability service-level agreements (SLAs) are forced to constantly shrink under the expectation of zero downtime and zero data loss, organizations are turning to the market in search of the...
IBM and Lenovo have issued a security alert, warning that they inadvertently shipped malware-infected USB flash drives to some customers who use their Storwize hardware. The malware, known as Reconyc, is designed to install additional attack code on infected endpoints.
The drop in value of stolen payment cards caused cyber criminals to adopt new tools, foremost among them ransomware. Having already caused a financial drain of $209,000,000 in just one quarter, organizations of all sizes are at risk.
