With WANdisco's LiveData approach to big data migration to the cloud, there is no application downtime during migration and no data inconsistencies, even when data sets are under active change.
This whitepaper will explore an effective, automated approach to cloud, on-premises and multi-vendor Hadoop migrations.
How will you adjust your cybersecurity spending in 2020 in response to market conditions? Discover ways to spend smarter. Our new SANS 2020 survey identifies current trends, leading drivers and top disruptors cited by cybersecurity professionals as main factors in how they plan for effective cybersecurity investments.
Did you know you can avoid network overload by filtering out low-risk traffic, sending only the right application traffic to the right tool? EMA recommends network operations teams modernize their approach with full application visibility. Stop ignoring the application layer. Use application-aware network packet brokers to deliver optimal network performance.
Network continuity is critical during times of unprecedented change. This step-by-step guide from ZK Research provides a more efficient and secure network using a next-generation network packet broker. Justify your need for a visibility solution that monitors and secures your network infrastructure while also providing cost savings.
Today’s digital manufacturing ecosystem is undergoing another landmark transformation. While factory floors are more connected than ever, there’s a challenge to real-time insights and next-gen CI: data. Most companies are collecting mass amounts of data but lack system-wide visibility. This means lack of usable insights. With Sight Machine on Microsoft Azure, you get essential line of sight, and system-side view, into the inner workings of your factory and its data output. Unlock and scale the next generation of CI today.
Let’s say everything in your business relied on an unorganized paper filing system. Cabinets after cabinets of folders lined the walls and stretched up the ceiling, so much so that it not only became difficult for anyone to find anything, but they were forced to work around the mess. It sounds cumbersome and inefficient, right? Like the sort of thing that would be a huge detriment to your business’s growth.
When a business has a custom software solution designed for it— whether it is a completely new system or an integrated design—the implementation of the system is usually not the final step of the software development lifecycle.
We’ll discuss what factors you should be considering when comparing custom software and premade solutions. You should have already completed a gap analysis of your business processes in Part 3: Analysing Software Features and Creating a Comparison Chart. Now we should be able to decide whether there is a pre-made solution that fits your specific needs, or if custom software provides the flexibility and unique features your business requires.
One of the fastest growing segments of the Identity and Access Management (IAM) market is the cloud segment. Increasingly, companies are choosing to move at least part of their security infrastructure to cloud-based solutions. Even if you still run critical IAM service on-prem, there’s a great chance you manage and integrate with cloud applications.
Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) administration and management includes 12 major tasks. These tasks cover a wide breadth of business needs and are not all performed solely by AD DS administrators. In fact, administrators can and should delegate several tasks to other members of their technical community, technicians, help desk personnel, even users such as team managers and administrative assistants. While delegation is a way to reduce the amount of work administrators have to do when managing AD DS infrastructures, it really only addresses one or two of the 12 tasks, for example, user and group administration as well as end point device administration. The other ten tasks can be staggering in nature — security, networked service administration, OU-Specific Management, Group Policy Object management and many more — and because of this can take up inordinate amounts of time. You can rely on Microsoft’s built-in tools to reduce some of this workload, but are the native tools enough? Perhaps it’s time to reduce AD DS administration overhead by automating most tasks and tightening internal security. Address this by first, determining what the twelve essential labors of Active Directory are and then, see how you can reduce AD DS workloads through the implementation of proper management and administration tools.
How many of us, in our quest to be secure, feel like Emmet in 2014’s The Lego Movie? We see these incredible identity governance and administration (IGA) and privileged access management (PAM) projects that our ‘master builder’ peers seem to be succeeding with and we feel entirely inadequate. They execute powerful programs that appear to deliver full, enterprise-wide identity administration and associated governance. They seem to achieve privileged access management with full coverage and rich functionality. And, they claim to succeed in a world that is entirely unrelated to the real world we live in.
The challenges with managing accounts in Active Directory (AD) and Azure AD are many and varied. With the frantic pace of today’s business world, organizations struggle to keep up with requests to create, change and remove access to their on-premises AD. This scenario becomes even more complicated when you mix in a hybrid AD environment.
AD security is crucial to controlling risk and ensuring compliance Active Directory (AD) is the foundation of identity and access management (IAM) at most organizations and, as such, is probably the most crucial technology on the network. More and more systems and applications depend on AD and Azure Active Directory (AAD) for authentication, policy, entitlements, and configuration management. If AD is insecure, everything is insecure.
Privileged Access Management (PAM) is one of the most important areas of risk management and security in any organization. Changing business practices, agile software development and digital transformation has meant that PAM solutions need an enhanced set of features to reduce the risk of privileged accounts being hijacked in this more challenging operating environment.
One of the most important aspects of an identity and access management (IAM) program is the securing, management and governance of the accounts belonging to superusers — privileged accounts. Like the accounts used by regular users, these superuser accounts require access management – ensuring that admins have the access they need to do their job — and governance – ensuring that there is oversight and control over that access, often for the purpose of compliance. Unfortunately, privileged accounts have some unique idiosyncrasies that make both access management and governance difficult or impossible with traditional PAM methods. To learn how to deal with those unique characteristics and manage your privileged accounts successfully, assume that the ideal PAM program addresses the broadest range of privileged accounts and elevated-access users. That’s where the problems start for most organizations.
