Maximize Performance and Availability for Virtualized Environments with Quantum and Veeam

In the modern data center, many companies running business-critical data on a virtual infrastructure face a variety of technical challenges that traditional backup software vendors are struggling to address:

• Maximizing data availability while controlling costs, the size of backup windows, and the network loads.

• Providing fastest recovery possible for individual emails, files, or full VMs following an outage.

• Protecting data in primary data centers as well as in remote offices, workgroups, and other locations.

Moving Beyond Batch Backup

Data protection has changed, and although protecting data both for backup and disaster recovery purposes is as important as ever, there are alternate applications and methods for protecting data that are more efficient and less expensive.

Fuzz Testing Maturity Model

Fuzz testing is an industry-standard technique for locating unknown vulnerabilities in software. Fuzz testing is mandatory portion of many modern secure software development life cycles (SDLCs), such as those used at Adobe, Cisco Systems and Microsoft. This document provides a framework to assess the maturity of your processes, software, systems and devices. At the heart of this document is a vendor-agnostic maturity model for fuzz testing that maps metrics and procedures of effective fuzz testing to maturity levels. The maturity model is a lingua franca for talking about fuzzing, allowing different organizations to communicate effectively about fuzzing without being tied to specific tools.

The Fuzz Testing Maturity Model (FTMM) gives builders and buyers a set of standard levels for communicating about fuzz testing.

Synopsys solutions help deliver a more comprehensive security offering for the SDLC by adding black box testing capabilities, including the Codenomicon Defensics® tool for file and protocol fuzz testing, and the Codenomicon AppCheck™ tool for software composition analysis and vulnerability assessment.

Securing Cloud Computing

As the business case for Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and other cloud computing models solidifi es, more and more companies are incorporating cloud computing into their IT programs. The implication is that an ever-increasing amount of critical information is living “in the cloud.”

Does the cloud put data sovereignty compliance out of reach?

A decade ago, these two words together would have resulted in many blank stares in the majority of boardrooms. Today, speak these two words to Fortune 500 CIOs and CISOs, and they will most likely end up with their head in their hands. Data sovereignty is a critical emerging topic. It addresses the legal and regulatory jurisdictions governing particular digital information and how vendors, customers, and users can manage these overlapping jurisdictions.

Buyer’s Guide to Enterprise Collaboration Solutions
