Secure Your Virtualized Infrastructure
Whether it’s physical infrastructure or virtual, the same security concerns apply. Viruses, bots, worms, and other malware can enter the network by way of a virtual connection, just as they can through a physical machine, and employees can create accidental or purposeful data breaches. But although the worries are the same, there are security issues that are particular to the virtual world. Here are some tips for keeping your virtualized infrastructure secure.

IT shops want private cloud in small bites, please
Cloud computing is firmly established as the big shift in IT right now. Public clouds like Amazon Web Services have proven that the appetite for on-demand, do-it-yourself, pay-as-you-go infrastructure and IT services is there. However, established enterprises don't like the wild-west aspects of public cloud, and so they are gradually shifting their own internal IT to match the cloud model.

3 Reasons Why Smartphone Security Is Neglected
Smartphone use is on the rise, not just with consumers but with companies as well. They're becoming more and more like mini-computers. According to an August 2010 ABI Research report, more than 60 percent of handsets will have mobile browsers in them by 2015. But that added functionality and ubiquity could make them prime targets for cyber-attackers in the future, if not today. Smartphones could become even more attractive to cyber-criminals because users might not focus on securing them as much as they do for traditional hardware.

Radware President's Mission: Keeping Internet Traffic Moving
Ramesh Barasia has a good way of explaining what Radware does. "Think of us as the traffic cops," he says — the directors of traffic on the Internet who make sure none of the cyber-highways get jammed with too many users and are shut down, and that also keep bad guys from breaking in.

It May Be Smart But Is The Grid Safe?
Fifty-five million is a large number. That is roughly the number of people impacted by the great Northeast blackout of 2003, which to date is the largest electrical blackout in this nation’s history. At the time, many people thought about the possibility that the blackout was related to terrorism because the grid’s centralized structure leaves us open to attack. In fact, the interdependencies of various electrical grid components can bring about a domino effect—a cascading series of failures that could bring our nation’s banking, communications, traffic, and security systems, among others, to a standstill. If that happens, 55 million suddenly won’t seem so large a number in comparison.

Handle Increasing Networking Needs
Although the market continues to be uncertain and news headlines have their fair share of gloom, one thing can’t be argued: Recent growth in the networking market clearly shows that enterprises are investing in networking infrastructure and increasing capacity. This likely has little to do with supporting internal growth fueled by rising staff levels; rather, it seems that companies are increasing their networking in order to meet external demands, enable innovation, and remain competitive.
