The State of Email Security 2020

Global business is interspersed with a diversity of industrial sectors, united by a single, common communication thread that is key to any business: email connectivity.

At the close of 2019, many IT and IT security decision makers were planning to bolster their security posture with protections at the email gateway, within their organizations to protect employees and customers, and beyond their organizations’ four walls to uphold brand trust. These protections are still underway; in fact, they are more critical than ever.

At the same time, comprehensive data from Mimecast Threat Center indicates a severely negative impact to businesses in the first half of 2020, and experts predict we’ll see these attacks for months to come. Threat actors are relying heavily on impersonation and brand exploitation to take advantage of the uncertainty during the global COVID-19 pandemic.

The usual email and web security defenses are no longer good enough; to prevent and protect your business against threat actors now and in the future, it’s critical to integrate security awareness training as well as to protect your online brand.

Best practices for migrating to containerized applications

When thinking about migrating applications into containers, there are three main high-level strategies: lift and shift, augment, and rewrite.

No matter which method you choose, it is important to recognize that most software was designed and written before modern, image-based containers were invented. Even if you choose the “lift and shift” method, where you might run a monolithic application inside a single container, it is likely that your application will need to be modified. To successfully move to containers, you will need a solid migration strategy that takes into account the needs of your applications and the nature of Linux® containers.

Learn specific, technical recommendations and guidelines for migrating software into containers—from image build procedures to production best practices.

Multi cloud app delivery solution that delivers a better experience

Multi-cloud app delivery solution from Citrix delivers reliability, performance, security, and single pane of glass management for all applications, on-premises and on Google Cloud Platform.

Cloud is changing the fundamentals of how IT teams deliver applications and optimize their performance. Applications are increasingly deployed farther from users, crossing networks outside of IT’s direct control. Instead of enterprise data centers, many apps now reside in public and hybrid cloud environments. There are even new breeds of applications, built upon microservices and containers.

Today, IT needs modern solutions that:

  • Extend on-premises, apps and infrastructure resources to the cloud
  • Maintain high levels of performance, user experience, and security across all applications, including microservices based apps
  • Sustain operational consistency across on-premises and cloud environments

    • These solutions are available for apps running on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) through the alliance of Citrix and Google Cloud.

    Best Practices for Managing Risks in Your Cloud Deployment

    IT teams are embracing the cloud for its scalability, reliability, flexibility, and rapid deployment capabilities, helping them achieve performance and cost-savings goals.

    According to Gartner, by the end of 2019, we’ll see, “30 percent of the 100 largest vendors’ new software investments will have shifted from cloud-first to cloud-only.”

    But for enterprises transitioning from on-prem architectures, a move to the cloud opens up new and uncharted territory when it comes to managing risk. Complex, distributed resources in the cloud call for an update to the standard risk management and security approach.

    For security teams tasked with securing cloud environments, holding on to pre-cloud tools and mindset is no longer going to work, as the challenges and tools needed to secure cloud environments are different from what was required to secure pre-cloud architectures. Even worse, copying pre-cloud solutions means that the drawbacks of pre-cloud architectures are brought into the cloud world. Only by fully embracing the cloud and its values can enterprises take full advantage of its benefits.

    Webinar – Digitizing Airbus global supply chain through APIs

    An Airbus A380 is made up of 7 million different pieces with each piece coming from different parts of the world including Germany, Spain, UK, and France. Assembling the final plane requires support from various IT and operations teams. Leveraging legacy supply chain technology to support on-time arrival and coordination of parts was incredibly challenging, and only worsened with the need for new parts and pressure of massive growth. In order to scale, Airbus needed to think through how to transform and digitize its global supply chain.

    Hear from Airbus and how they are leveraging Anypoint Platform to enhance their production efficiency, and ultimately, drive innovation throughout the entire supply chain.

    In this webinar, you will learn how to:

    • Leverage APIs to support a complex manufacturing process with multiple global partners.
    • Foster collaboration amongst siloed IT teams through API reuse and API-led connectivity.
    • Reduce time to market by providing end-to-end visibility across the planning and execution processes within the supply chain.
    • Save hours of time by allowing the shop floor logisticians to easily identify non-conforming parts on their mobile apps.
