Eliminating The Burden Of Periodic Password Reset

The most debated topic in the NIST password standards is the guideline to end the policy of password expiration. These forced monthly, quarterly, or periodic password resets are a frustration for many employees, and they are proven to increase IT help desk costs.

Organizations need to secure applications and systems, but employee password reuse across different applications remains a problem. So what can organizations do to protect Active Directory?

They can adopt password filtering for weak, similar, and compromised passwords. Read this article to understand how.

Addressing Challenges in Hybrid Cloud Security

How can you secure your apps and services without compromising your schedule? (Hint: It’s all in the automation.) Enterprises are using hybrid cloud technologies to enrich the user experience and power their digital transformation. But running applications in public clouds while managing the application data in private clouds makes for a unique set of security requirements. We discuss the challenges that DevOps teams face in hybrid environments and how those challenges can be overcome.

Six Steps to Container Security

An application or service that you develop once to run in multiple clouds has a clear advantage over one that is bound to a single OS or runtime environment. Container technology makes it possible, but container security vulnerabilities are beginning to surface. We describe 6 steps you can take to ensure that container security doesn’t become a DevOps roadblock.

ESG Secure DevOps Full Stack Approach.

Enterprises are shifting to a cloud first application development strategy. As organizations transition to workloads,containers, Kubernetes, and serverless environments, a unified development and deployment approach requires increased involvement of the cybersecurity team. In this paper you will learn more about best practices for:

Influencing security across technology stacks and cloud native applications
Gaining organizational alignment for cloud native security
Implementing secure DevOps along the lifecycle continuum
Securing cloud native applications and a new converged approach

IDC: Economic Impact of Red Hat Enterprise Linux

This White Paper sizes the economic impact of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in three dimensions: the revenue and expenses that are "touched" in the enterprises that use RHEL and the economic advantage accrued, the impact of IT expenses on technology and staff labor by enterprises using RHEL, and the size and reach of the ecosystem whose products and services sit on RHEL.

This document is based on IDC research and forecasts on IT markets, internal IT models on the economic impact of IT, third-party economic data, and a global survey of 600+ line-of-business and IT executives.

Metrics That Matter for Quality Manufacturing

Metrics reign supreme in manufacturing, which means any new technology must be evaluated on its ability to drive measurable, scalable impact to your production operations, product quality and site performance.

MasterControl has been helping companies ensure product quality and compliance for over 20 years — but often those metrics are about mitigating long-term risk versus driving real-time operational gains. That is until now. The new MasterControl Manufacturing Excellence solution delivers the next generation of digital production records to drive immediate improvement to plant operations and product quality.

In this white paper, you will learn how improve operations by achieving right the first time and accelerating reviews, optimize resource utilization, and measure the impact of digitization.

Architecting for Change: Embracing a Platform Approach

Chances are you wouldn’t buy a fax machine, install landlines and order checks.

Embracing digital is now so instinctive, you would digitize and automate everything. You would invest in cloud-based technology that was easy to use, connect and scale.

In this paper, you will learn the importance of an agile and modern technology foundation, how to take the right risks versus follow the right rules, and the cost of inaction and non-modernized technology ecosystems.
