Posted by Logicalis Staff | Dec 12, 2017 | Converged Infrastructure, Digital Ready Infrastructure, Digital Transformation, Featured Posts |

Reading Time: 2 minutesBy Brandon Harris, Senior Director HPE Solutions at Logicalis US The rapid pace of innovation and ever-changing IT requirements are pressuring CIOs and IT staffs to shed complex, costly and cumbersome IT infrastructures in favor of those that provide greater power, simplicity and efficiency. Rapid application development cycles, along with increasing public and private cloud usage, are driving the use of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). This has resulted in adoption of composable hybrid IT infrastructures that are continually updated in response to enterprise demands. Many organizations are experiencing a “legacy lag” due to continued reliance on older...

To compete in new and innovative ways, university research teams need sophisticated analytics engines...

IT and Security Teams Must Embrace Rapid Threat Containment

Posted by Logicalis Staff | Oct 24, 2017 | Security |

Reading Time: 2 minutesBy Mike Johnson, Senior Cybersecurity Architect, Logicalis US Most malware, phishing, exploits and ransomware threats are built to evade detection and response capabilities. This makes it a real challenge to build your defenses, contain the scope of the attacks and perform the appropriate fixes so you can get back to providing value to your business.

Further exasperating the issue is the expanding attack surface that comes with the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobility. The traditional tools to...

Cyber Defense Strategies: Basics to Bleeding Edge

Posted by Logicalis Staff | Oct 24, 2017 | Security |

Reading Time: 2 minutesBy Mike Johnson, Senior Cybersecurity Architect, Logicalis US When it comes to information security the basics are well documented.

Implementing the controls within those CSF’s can keep even the most robust IT and Security teams busy for years. Still, they are your best guide to defense of your critical IT systems and data. The incidents we see in the headlines, however, can shock us back into the reality that well-documented does not...

Reading Time: 4 minutesBy Adam Petrovsky, GovEd Practice Leader, Logicalis US Today, there is a distinct urgency among CIOs and CISOs at colleges and universities nationwide to shore up their IT security measures. Because of the sensitive nature of the information universities possess, when they are not adequately protected, it’s like they’re waving a red flag for cybercriminals saying, “This is the best data – come and get it.” The chief problem for institutions of higher learning is that they gather and store very diverse kinds of data – including everything from medical information to financial and credit card...
