The IT pendulum is swinging to distributed computing environments, network perimeters are dissolving, and compute is being distributed across various parts of organizations’ infrastructure—including, at times, their extended ecosystem. As a result, organizations need to ensure the appropriate levels of visibility and security at these remote locations, without dramatically increasing staff or tools. They need to invest in solutions that can scale to provide increased coverage and visibility, but that also ensure efficient use of resources. By implementing a common distributed data services layer as part of a comprehensive security operations and analytics platform architecture (SOAPA) and network operations architecture, organizations can reduce costs, mitigate risks, and improve operational efficiency.

Banking institutions worldwide are expanding their digital capabilities to meet evolving customer expectations and keep pace with new digital banking trends. As financial services firms increasingly embrace a multicloud strategy to achieve greater agility and cost savings, pervasive visibility across data centres and cloud environments is paramount to meet evolving security and compliance requirements.

Regardless of whether your data resides on-premises, in the cloud, or a combination of both, you are vulnerable to security threats, data breaches, data loss, and more. Security is often cited as a concern for organizations who are migrating to the public cloud, but the belief that the public cloud is not secure is a myth. In fact, the leading public cloud service providers have built rigorous security capabilities to ensure that your applications, assets, and services are protected. Security in the public cloud is now becoming a driver for many organizations, but in a rapidly evolving multicloud environment, you must keep up with changes that might impact your security posture. This eBook outlines the three core recommendations for cloud security across Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform.

Both the speed of innovation and the uniqueness of cloud technology is forcing security teams everywhere to rethink classic security concepts and processes. In order to keep their cloud environment secure, businesses are implementing new security strategies that address the distributed nature of cloud infrastructure. Security in the cloud involves policies, procedures, controls, and technologies working together to protect your cloud resources, which includes stored data, deployed applications, and more. But how do you know which cloud service provider offers the best security services? And what do you do if you’re working on improving security for a hybrid or multicloud environment? This ebook provides a security comparison across the three main public cloud providers: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP). With insight from leading cloud experts, we also analyze the differences between security in the cloud and on-premises infrastructure, debunk

This white paper considers the pressures that enterprises face as the volume, variety, and velocity of relevant data mount and the time to insight seems unacceptably long. Most IT environments seeking to leverage statistical data in a useful way for analysis that can power decision making must glean that data from many sources, put it together in a relational database that requires special configuration and tuning, and only then make it available for data scientists to build models that are useful for business analysts. The complexity of all this is further compounded by the need to collect and analyze data that may reside in a classic datacenter on the premises as well as in private and public cloud systems. This need demands that the configuration support a hybrid cloud environment. After describing these issues, we consider the usefulness of a purpose-built database system that can accelerate access to and management of relevant data and is designed to deliver high performance for t
