The most significant step an organization can take to ensure appropriate levels of cloud security is for the corporate leadership to agree that cloud computing has become indispensable, and that it should be governed through planning and policy.
Access the report to learn how to overcome the below challenges:
- Delaying cloud migrations due to an exaggerated fear of the security of cloud providers resulting in loss opportunity and inappropriate spending
- A strategic cloud strategy is lagging behind cloud usage, leaving a hole in governance leading to unnecessary compliance incidents and data leakage
- A lack of skills and resources for cloud use cases

Advanced APIs – How to Optimize Security, Maximize Resources, and Push Innovation
The traditional way of applying security countermeasures has always entailed shoring up infrastructure at one location or another and hoping that attackers will be frustrated or scared off.
To combat rising cyberthreats, you need the ability to safeguard users, applications, and infrastructure across your expanding network, end-to-end and top-to-bottom. But, managing the complexity and volume of disparate solutions that do not smoothly integrate becomes a time consuming and error-prone task, as threats across your network grow and may remain undetected. Homegrown security deployments tend to slow down business operations and negatively impact productivity. Today’s enterprise hybrid networks require an agile approach network security policy management solution.
Join cybersecurity experts Tim Woods, Vice President of Technology Alliances at FireMon and Holger Schulze, CEO and Founder of Cybersecurity Insiders, to explore:
- How an open platform closes security gaps
- How to achieve 80% reduction in firewall and cloud security group misconfigurations
- How an agile approach to Network Security Policy Management enables shared intelligence and automation

6 key steps: what to do after a ransomware attack
Checklist
Ransomware attacks companies every 11 seconds.
The end result? Lost productivity, loss or exposure of sensitive data, loss of current revenue, and even the risk of future profitability.
But there is good news: by deploying a cloud-based backup and DRaaS, your organization can recover much more quickly from a ransomware attack—significantly reducing the impact of ransomware and protecting companies’ bottom lines.
Whether your company has been infected by a ransomware attack or you want to try to mitigate any potential risks in the future, you need to be prepared.
Take a look at this checklist explaining the key steps that need to be taken once ransomware hits.
Building an innovative cloud disaster recovery plan
Get best practices, examples and templates
White Paper
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts cybercrime damages will cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021 and “will be more profitable than the global trade of all major illegal drugs combined.” In such a climate, an attack is not a matter of if, but when.
Business continuity and disaster recovery go hand-in-hand, so it’s essential that IT teams are prepared for when the worst strikes.
However, not all DR plans are created equal. Only 22% of businesses have high confidence in their disaster recovery plan.
Download our white paper to design an effective recovery plan and learn:
- Our 4-step sample disaster recovery plan
- Best practices for business continuity planning and disaster recovery
- Emerging methods for implementing a strong DR plan and strategy
- The advantages of DRaaS in the cloud

The comprehensive guide to ransomware protection and recovery
White Paper
The rise of ransomware has become a crisis that has crippled organizations world-wide. New strains of ransomware are on the rise, and with more remote employees the risks and exposure are higher than ever before.
Reliable backup and recovery are a crucial line of defense against ransomware. Having secure backup images of critical business data and applications allows companies to roll back in time to recover applications and data before the point of ransomware infection.
Learn about these 5 steps to protect from and limit the impact of ransomware:
1. Identifying and automating data protection for key business assets
2. Protecting backup environment with immutable data
3. Detecting early threats and potential risks
4. Responding proactively to prevent contamination and threat permeation
5. Recovering data quickly with flexible recovery options
From LIBOR to SOFR: A Flexible Architecture is The Key to Surviving This Evolution
At the grand old age of 51, LIBOR (London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) has reached retirement with its expiry date set for the end of 2021.
SOFR is the new benchmark for all dollar-denominated loans and securities and is based on transactions in the U.S. Treasury repo market. However, the switch from LIBOR to SOFR will create complexities that must be overcome if GPs are to produce transparent, on-demand reporting that will satisfy LPs.
In this whitepaper, learn how the flexible architecture of Allvue's system allows it to evolve with the investment industry, making a future proof solution for all investment needs.
What is Business Intelligence and Why Should GPs Care
Having the ability to synthesize and glean insights from vast (and growing) data sets can be very useful across many roles and functions in any organization.
The investment management industry, whose business model is predicated on information discovery, has taken notice. "Business Intelligence", or "BI" tools are being deployed across the firm, from the back office to investment teams to client relations.
This paper will look at four situations typical in a GP – managing the deal pipeline, monitoring portfolio company KPIs, fundraising and management/partner reporting – to see how these tools can be utilized to optimize decision making across the firm.
The Risk of Spreadsheets For Private Capital Fund Managers
Spreadsheets are like an old friend - we rely and trust them, even if they make us crazy once in a while. But in terms of the private capital industry, too much reliance can turn into an unproductive relationship.
With private capital’s increasing influence in the financial markets, the role the spreadsheet plays in making major decisions - across the back office, deal teams and LPs, - is worth examining.
This whitepaper looks at the nature of the risks posed by the continued prevalence of spreadsheet-based processes at private equity, private debt, real estate and venture firms.
