How do leading CIOs get acknowledged as a trusted adviser to the business? They avoid the top 7 credibility killers.

When it comes to cloud environments, whether in the public cloud or a privately hosted or hybrid environment, data security and protection controls must protect sensitive data—and support constantly growing government and industry compliance requirements. Read this ebook to learn how data security and protection technologies should operate in multiple environments (physical, cloud and hybrid) at the same time.
From the perspectives of both data protection and regulatory compliance, it is just as critical to protect sensitive cloud-based data as it is on-premises data. One way to do this is through data encryption, yet many business’s encryption efforts are mired in fragmented approaches, siloed strategies for policy management and compliance reporting, and decentralized key management. These situations have all contributed to making encryption complicated and difficult to implement and manage.
This paper looks at 5 best practices for securing data in multi-cloud environments using the latest data encryption technologies.
This Leadership Compass from analyst firm KuppingerCole provides an overview of the market for database and big data security solutions along with guidance and recommendations for finding the sensitive data protection products that best meet client’s requirements.
The report examines a broad range of technologies, vendor product and service functionality, relative market shares, and innovative approaches to implementing consistent and comprehensive data protection across the enterprise.
APIs are a hot topic, energetically debated by business people, IT managers, and developers alike. Most of the excitement in the public space is about open public APIs. To some degree, not having a public API today is like not having a website in the late 1990s. Yet for many enterprises, public APIs are really the least of their business concerns. More important concerns include building omni-channel solutions, innovating faster than the competition, becoming a mobile enterprise, or operating in a hybrid cloud environment.
Highly decentralized computing is the new normal for most organizations, and digital transformation (DX) initiatives are changing application architectures to event driven to support real-time and near-real-time response cycles. In this environment, enterprises are increasingly turning to messaging middleware to meet the combined requirements of complexity, speed, reliability, and security to connect the digital world of applications and data.
APIs are becoming the digital glue of today’s fast-moving marketplace. They allow you to quickly create interfaces with back-end systems and applications, and then share those interfaces with customers, partners and others to expand your organizations’ reach. Over the last 10 years, the web has essentially become a service-oriented platform, where information and functionality are available through an API. Many early APIs were written using SOAP. But now REST is the dominant development choice, and publication of REST APIs is on the rise.
