In his #EMCworld keynote on Tuesday morning, Joe Tucci used the phrase “the sea of trust” to capture the pervasive role that security has to have in the success of the “third platform” of mobile, cloud and big data. It’s a great metaphor, reflecting not only the pervasiveness that security has to have, but also the dynamism and power that it needs to embrace.
Cybersecurity has been visible in EMC keynotes before. Last year Pat Gelsinger spoke about the importance of security in VMware architecture, for example. But this year is the first time that security has taken center stage in the opening keynote.
The SBIC has produced a new report that is mobile centric called “Realizing the Mobile Enterprise.” The council builds on data. In this case, it builds on a fascinating series of online polls that show a rapid litmus-like test of the mobile landscape and, in particular, the degree to which “the enterprise” (an interesting notion [...]
In my last blog I talked about the key technologies breaking down our doors in 2013. The four key areas were Cloud Computing, Social Media, Big Data and Mobile Devices. None of these should have come as a surprise to anyone in the industry today. These are all topics that are discussed and debated around tables of security teams in most enterprises. So, what can we do today to ensure we are prepared for these challenges and how do we start reinforcing our doors so that we allow these new technologies but have greater control and visibility and provide transparency for the user?
Every year we seem to have a new buzz term in security. As someone who lives in the security product marketing world I’ve seen trends come and go. Terminology that was once mandatory in every piece of collateral suddenly becomes stale and cringe-worthy (APT is becoming one of these). We’ve had a bunch of buzzwords and phrases; some were pretty good and some were really terrible. I should know I helped propagate some of these buzzwords.
RSA recently launched its latest SBIC report titled ‘Information Security Shake-up – Disruptive Innovations to test Security’s Mettle in 2013’. It introduces some interesting food for thought on what organizations should have on their ‘to do ‘list for 2013. Four key innovations are highlighted which shouldn’t come as a big surprise to anyone, I think we have all been addressing some of these in the last year but it’s time to hunker down and really start focusing on these four key innovations which will test the true grit of our security systems.
Albert Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Reflect on that for a moment. For the past 10 years, the Internet has become a ubiquitous form of communication. Growth of digital content and use of mobile devices have soared, organizations have opened their infrastructures to enhance [...]
A few months ago, I wrote a short blog using the “space between the 1s and 0s” as a metaphor to discuss dimensions of data that are beyond just the digits sitting on the disk drive. These dimensions included how the data was created, who created it and why it was created along with the security implications of those dimensions. Data created by a business process that includes personal information is much different than the invitation to the company monthly birthday party. Yet those 1s and 0s, many times, sit side by side on our laptops, servers and storage area networks. Recently, EMC announced the 2012 findings from IDC’s 6th EMC-sponsored Digital Universe Study. This study has some amazing and interesting results – some directly related to this “space between the 1s and 0s”.
Among the materials associated with their just-released report on the Digital Universe, IDC has just posted a new Youtube video of John Gantz and David Reinsel, called “The Digital Universe and the Internet of Things,” discussing the implications of this massive explosion of data.
IDC has just released an important new study by John Gantz and David Reinsel on The Digital Universe in 2020 that includes an important discussion of the security and privacy implications for the explosion of data in the digital universe. As the report calls out, “The rise in mobility and participation in social networks, the [...]
