The Top 3 Weaknesses of Datacenter Security
Datacenter security is an integral part of any business, regardless of industry. Nowadays, companies are threatened with far more sophisticated forms of attacks. Hence, a constantly improving datacenter security becomes a vital player in business growth and operations.
Philippine companies who offer IT services focus on helping you build a resilient IT infrastructure that will stand today’s more complex forms of cyber threats and risks.
Below are the top three datacenter security weaknesses that we can help you address.

Top Three Data Security Weaknesses


IT security requirements are focused on dealing with the arrival of more complex attacks and digital channels threats. These problems can come from various sources which include human, technical, and operational channels.
Below are the top challenges that require a more sophisticated threat protection:

Complexity Leading to False Positives
The variety of IT security solutions and accompanying tools with different risk strategies can result in redundancy and unnecessary complexity. This happens when threats are gathered from multiple external sources that often have the same detection strategies.
However, the data produced are often raw. The unconsolidated data often leads to false positives. While there are many solutions available, the lack of actionable intelligence leads to wasted time and resources.

Closed, Proprietary Reputation Feeds
Datacenters deal with threats from both internal and external sources, but many of the networking platforms are “closed systems.” This means, the system cannot gather threats that are specific to customers and third-party agencies.

Lack of Optimization (Scaling)
According to numerous IT executives in the finance industry, the optimization inability of network security appliances fails to address human-unnoticeable demand intervals while continuously analyzing threats to provide real-time, antifraud policies.
Another challenge is the optimization of services to meet customer demands without adding to the complexity of the network itself.

Top Solutions for Datacenter Security Weaknesses


As the IT network platforms evolved, IT security remained a crucial facet in all aspects of business including data management, compliance, and business continuity.
Here are the top solutions for a stronger datacenter security system.
  • Improved DevOps capabilities can provide streamlined policy operations. The increased communications and collaborations between the software and IT teams can simplify policy operations and get rid of redundancy.
  • Optimization that can support high-performance tasks and transactions. Scaling network security appliances can help address the increasing customer needs and improve the speed of transactions.
  • Hardware and software upgrades can minimize downtimes required for maintenance periods. Reducing the length of maintenance downtimes ensures the smooth flow of operations amidst upgrades and maintenance works.
  • Support for multi-use cases. Datacenter security should include a support system for simultaneous identification, clarification, and organization of system requirements.
  • Core protection for the datacenter should come first before connections within the enterprise internal networks.
  • Protecting the external edge should cover the enterprise’s network perimeters. The key is finding the right IT services provider that can create tailor-fit solutions to address your company’s infrastructure weak points.
  • Datacenter security should be possible at wire speed. The network is the foundation of business trades and transactions, as everyone knows the dangers that come with cyber threat-related network disturbances.
  • Improving IT security without sacrificing performance can be a challenge. Datacenter security in environments with multiple users should have network architectures that support public, private, and hybrid operations in the cloud.
  • Visibility in network configuration, database protection policies, and applications should be improved. Datacenter security needs to evolve continuously to adapt to increasingly complex threats.
The Need for IT Simplification
IT solutions that are capable of removing unnecessary complexities while lowering operational risks can help deliver efficiently through IT implication. Solutions that enable a company to make internal shifts without going through long wait cycles and downtime will help businesses succeed in their digital strategies

The EHang 184 Is A Human-Sized Drone Taking Off At CES

By
We’ve seen some pretty cool stuff on day 1 of CES 2016, but probably nothing more eye-catching than the EHang 184, a human-sized drone built by the Chinese UAV company  EHang . Yes you heard right — a giant autonomous drone that fits a human. It’s basically what you would expect to see if someone shrunk you down to the size of a LEGO and stuck you next to a DJI Inspire. Except no one was shrunk, and the giant flying machine was sitting smack in the middle of the CES drone section. EHang, which was founded in 2014 and has raised about $50M in venture fundingto date, was pretty gung-ho about telling everyone at CES that the 184 was the future of personal transport. And for the most part, people were too in awe to question them. But the reality is that the company probably was using the 184 as more of a marketing tool for their standard-sized drones like the  Ghost . Not that we’re saying that the 184 will never be a real thing, just that it probably isn’t co...

Western Union Brings Money Transfer And Its Tricky Fees To Chat Apps

By
Remittance has always been a shady business. Migrant workers need to send money they earn home to their families, but get hit with fine print fees so less cash comes out the other side than they might assume. Remittance companies earn extra by keeping the margin between their own made up exchange rate and the real one. Western Union is the best known remittance company, with 500,000 brick-and-mortar locations around the world. But tech startups like TransferWise, Azimo, and WorldRemit are gunning for the business. They hope to increase convenience and reduce fees to lure customers away from Western Union, Moneygram, and other old-school remittance providers. So  Western Union  is going digital thanks to partnerships with big messaging apps. It launched its Western Union Connect system in October last year, followed by a partnership with WeChat for sending up to $100. Now it’s getting into bed with  Viber , which has over 664 million “unique” users, thou...

Google Announces Android Wear Update With WiFi Support, Always-On Apps, And More

By
It has been a while since Android Wear got any substantial updates, but today Google is announcing a big one. A new version of Wear will be rolling out over the coming weeks that includes a number of previously rumored features (like WiFi support) and some all new stuff (like always-on apps). Most Wear devices use the always-on ambient mode for the watch face by default, the Moto 360 being a notable exception. The new Android Wear version allows apps to operate in ambient mode too, so they remain active when the watch goes to sleep. That makes it easier to take a quick glance at the app instead of waking the device up and opening the app all over again. The watch will still only go into full-color mode when necessary. WiFi support is also coming in the update, which means your watch can be useful even if your phone isn't connected. Watches with WiFi support will be able to connect to WiFi and still get messages and notifications from your phone, provided it has an interne...

Following Patent Deal, Every Time Apple Sells An iPhone, Ericsson Gets A Bit Of Money

By
Telecommunications infrastructure company Ericsson just  announced  that it has reached an agreement with Apple over an ongoing patent dispute. For the next seven years, Apple will pay a fraction of its iPhone and iPad profit to Ericsson in royalties. Back in February, Ericsson filed suits in many different jurisdictions for patent infringement (the International Trade Commission, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, as well as courts in the U.K., Germany and the Netherlands). According to the Swedish company, Apple has been violating 41 patents over the past few years with its iPhone and iPad, in particular patents related to GSM, UMTS and LTE technologies. As expected, the two companies have reached an agreement and Ericsson is dropping all of its lawsuits. Today’s news isn’t particularly surprising as Ericsson holds more than 35,000 patents. Many of them are related to wireles...
