In recent years, hacking has evolved from single-source Denial of Service (DoS) attacks to Distributed Denial of Services (DDoS) attacks, which strike from thousands of unique IPs. These disturbances can be created cheaply and easily and can take a service offline or shut a business down completely. According to an industry report conducted by Compare the Cloud:

The 10 Step Action Plan: Meeting Your Shared Security Responsibility with Microsoft Azure
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| Cloud adoption is increasing at a rapid rate, introducing unique and complex security considerations for users. Security is no longer solely under the control of an organization. It's an inherent partnership between the organization and the cloud service provider. And organization may not have complete visibility into all aspects or their security. So they need to understand how adopting a cloud-computing model will affect their risk profile related to data security, privacy, and availability. And if they don't get it right, organizations can compromise the benefits of going to the cloud. Choosing a strong cloud service provider is the first step. Request Free! |
The Clock is Ticking on Windows Server 2003 Support
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| The End of Support (EOS) of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 in July 2015 will put millions of enterprise servers at risk. And according to a recent study by leading analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), “More than 80% of enterprise and midmarket organizations still support Windows Server 2003 to some extent.” If your organization uses Microsoft Server 2003, the EOS will introduce serious security risks unless you are fully prepared to migrate to a new platform or put compensating controls in place. Because hackers know that Microsoft will no longer acknowledge or patch vulnerabilities, these servers will quickly become a favorite target for attacks. And the risks of running Windows Server 2003 after EOS will increase over time as more issues are found and not patched. Request Free! |

Security for Virtualization: Getting the Balance Right
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| Selecting the correct security solution for a specific virtual environment is not straightforward. This paper aims to provide guidance on identifying the right security approach for your virtual environment, achieved through the correct balance between security and performance. Because the 'correct balance' will be slightly different for every organization, there is no single definitive answer. But key to this balance lies primarily in the presence, and type, of security agent at the virtual endpoint; the balance between the ability to enable security functions at the endpoint and the amount of valuable processing space taken up in doing so. We'll discuss three security approaches to virtual endpoint security, their effect on achieving the best ROI, and offer some advice on how to achieve the best performance versus security balance for your virtual, as well as physical and mobile environments.

Windows Least Privilege Management and Beyond
The following is external content provided as a free resource for blog readers.
| Devising an enterprise-wide privilege access scheme for Windows systems can be complex. For example, each Window system object has its own access control list and the myriad of OS level rights and integrity levels which can vary by Windows version. For Windows environments it is critical that organizations can delegate administration and establish granular privileges quickly and efficiently. By doing so, IT can restrict administrators so that they can access the servers and resources required to perform their job, and only during the approved times to perform specific tasks. This white paper examines the security, compliance and efficiency issues surrounding least privilege management for Windows servers, and explains where native Windows tools fall short.
