Hybrid CloudSecurity 101

No matter where you are in your hybrid cloud journey, security is a big concern. Hybrid cloud security vulnerabilities typically take the form of loss of resource oversight and control, including unsanctioned public cloud use, lack of visibility into resources, inadequate change control, poor configuration management, and ineffective access controls. This e-book discusses new approaches and considerations for protecting your business in the hybrid cloud.

What to Consider When Protecting Healthcare Data

Data protection is critical in healthcare. Hospitals, clinics, urgent care centers, medical offices, insurance providers, billing services providers, and other organizations face a dual responsibility: first and foremost, they must safeguard the privacy, identity, security, and finances of their patients. No less important, they must also protect their own organization from costly breaches, regulatory fines, and damage to their business, reputation, and patient relationships.

Seeking to secure the sensitive data they hold and work with, healthcare organizations increasingly use encryption to protect data in transit. While effective as far as it goes, this approach can lead to a false sense of security—as organizations fail to realize that encryption can also be used to hide attacks. Rendered invisible to their own security devices, malware and viruses can then pass easily into the organization’s environment alongside other types of encrypted traffic.

Recognizing this problem, some organizations turn to decryption as a way to effectively inspect all the traffic leaving and entering their environment. In practice, though, decryption is typically implemented in a highly inefficient, ad hoc manner that quickly raises issues with cost, scalability, and performance. The organization faces a hard choice between security and efficiency.

In this ebook, we’ll talk about the security threats facing healthcare organizations, the issues with traditional approaches to encryption and decryption, and a better way to protect data privacy without impairing security.

eBook: Rescue Resolve Evolve

Millions of workers are walking around with their office, computer, filing cabinet, phone, email, working documents, and more right in the palm of their hands.

Many no longer even have a physical office to go to. They’re on the road, work remotely, and connect virtually with employers, clients, and partners who may be in a different city or country altogether.

What enabled this new work reality? Technology. For ever-growing numbers of people, whether they’re IT professionals, marketers, operations folks, salespeople, or others, tech is elemental.

And when a tech problem crops up, work comes to a stop. It’s a point of friction every worker, IT department, and enterprise has experienced—and one that nobody needs. So how does IT resolve issues quickly while evolving the business’s capacity to succeed?

This insightful guide walks you through the five foundational elements of frictionless support.

    How DevOps leads the way to digital business transformation

    Digital transformation has been occurring in organizations of all sizes for the past few years, yet the process isn’t moving fast enough to move the needle in many companies. How can DevOps help increase the velocity and impact of digital transformation? That's what DevOps.com's experts explore in this eBook.

    Regardless of IT spending plans, nearly three-quarters of enterprise IT executives surveyed said they expect to either accelerate or maintain digital transformation initiatives and projects. The only way to accelerate the building and deployment of modern digital business applications is to embrace best DevOps practices. Organizations are quickly discovering that not only have the timetables for these projects been accelerated, but also digital business applications need to be updated continuously.

    End users have come to expect applications to expose a regular cadence of new features and updates. They also expect those applications to be secure no matter what vulnerabilities have been discovered and when. The only way to live up to those expectations is to accelerate the rate and reliability of new features and functions added to an application.

    Download the free eBook, "How DevOps leads the way to digital business transformation," to take a deep dive into this topic.

    Your Guide to Developing a Multi-Cloud Data Strategy

    Organizations today are adopting cloud-based applications, platforms, and services to achieve greater elasticity and faster delivery times in today’s app-driven world.

    As the name suggests, adopting a multi-cloud strategy means using multiple cloud services from different providers, with workloads spread out across cloud environments. While most businesses require rapid and flexible access to computing, storage, and networking resources, not all enterprises are pursuing multi-cloud for the same reasons.

    Of course, not every team, business function, or application workload will have similar requirements in regards to performance, privacy, security, or geographic reach for its cloud environments. Whatever the impetus, companies must build a culture that puts data front and center in a world where every company is becoming a data company. This leads us to our main points: understanding key data challenges and getting your data ready for multi-cloud environments.

    5 DataOps Best Practices For Cloud-Based Application Development

    Fast moving application development teams increasingly leverage the flexible capacity and operational efficiency of the cloud to increase agility. Experiences with cloud-based lower-level environments are an opportunity to re-architect IT processes and establish new security policies, increasing knowledge and confidence when it’s time to migrate production workloads.

    This is a time to optimize DevOps workflows and remove overhead that will hinder cloud adoption and scale in the future. The same should be true for the data pipeline that feeds the release train.

    Move Forward Together

    Today’s manufacturing plants are at a turning point, and brands we’ve grown up knowing and using, like Hyundai, LG, SK, and Lotte, are taking part. This rapid change includes an increased impetus for digitization and innovation—without adding silos, complexity, or high costs.

    Cloud computing will help you save costs but not all clouds are equal. A patchwork of public cloud solutions may not be superior to a hybrid cloud network, and hybrid cloud will be challenging to manage without the ability to orchestrate the infrastructure from a single cohesive viewpoint.

    Nutanix has helped organizations around the world tailor their enterprise cloud solutions to their specific needs. Let Nutanix help you use cloud technology as a springboard for continued prosperity.

    The ROI Story – A guide for IT Leaders

    Disruptive IT infrastructure has been the norm over the decades, rather than the exception. Still, we have never seen a time such as now. The traditional hardware-defined datacenter model is besieged on multiple fronts. On one side is the public cloud, which continues to grow ever more popular. On the other side is software-defined infrastructure known as hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), which is also growing extremely rapidly. Seemingly sandwiched in the middle is the hybrid combination of software-defined infrastructure on-premises with multiple public cloud options – known as multi-cloud.

    The goal of this book is to assist CIOs, CTOs, CFOs, IT managers, IT staff, channel partners, manufacturers, consultants, cloud providers, systems integrators, outsourcers, and anyone else interested in how to use financial analysis as a framework to optimize strategic decision-making. It is geared toward evaluating and building a corresponding business case for disruptive infrastructure technologies, and focuses on Nutanix’s HCI-based solution, what we call enterprise cloud, though the methodologies should prove helpful for analyzing any platform.
