Integration is a top priority for enterprises


A new report finds that 71 percent of enterprises are actively planning to implement integration technology this year.
The study from enterprise integration platform as a service (iPaaS) company Digibee surveyed over 1,000 US and Canada-based CIOs, CTOs, developers, and enterprise architects, and finds integration strategies being hampered by technology that isn't cloud-native and lack the agility to respond quickly.
Meeting the challenge of protecting data in a changing world [Q&A]


As a report last year showed, the change to working habits over the last few years has gone hand-in-hand with a rise in the theft of data.
We spoke to Cyberhaven CSO, Chris Hodson, to find out how enterprise CISOs can meet this challenge and keep their data safe.
Why Hybrid Cloud is here to stay


Cloud has completely changed how contemporary businesses operate. It gives organizations a scalable means of managing their infrastructure, applications, and data. Between its flexibility and Pay as You Go (PAYG) options, Cloud provides substantially more configuration and design options than traditional infrastructure. As a result, businesses are adopting cloud services more and more frequently, giving them access to new tools and technologies, while also yielding efficiency improvements for their operations and procedures.
According to some projections, the worldwide cloud services industry will be worth about $600 billion by 2023, generating a rapidly expanding need for hybrid and multi-cloud solutions. Gartner expects that cloud system infrastructure services will be the second-biggest, but fastest-growing, cloud expenditure market category in 2023. As illustrated by the projected increase, hybrid and multi-cloud computing is becoming the new normal for many organizations -- providing them with the scalability benefits of public cloud -- while also delivering the flexibility and control inherent in private cloud computing and traditional server infrastructure.
Ubuntu 23.04 Lunar Lobster makes for easier enterprise deployment

Microsoft and Talon launch enterprise-grade ChatGPT


Enterprise browser specialist Talon Cyber Security has announced that it has integrated its secure enterprise browser with the Microsoft Azure OpenAI Service to provide enterprise-grade ChatGPT access to customers.
This allows organizations to maintain data protection, keeping data put into ChatGPT within their perimeter and preventing it from transferring to third-party services. When using ChatGPT in Azure OpenAI Service, the organization uses its own Azure resources, so sensitive data is not delivered to other locations, improving data security and reducing risk.
How enterprises can stay ahead of risks, threats and potential attacks [Q&A]


Businesses are engaged in a constant cat-and-mouse game with hackers, attackers, and bad actors in order to stay secure.
Dominic Lombardi, VP of security and trust at Kandji believes that in order to stay ahead it's necessary to master basic IT and security hygiene, update and communicate your risk register, and work steadily toward a zero-trust security model. We spoke to him to discover more.
Ransomware attacks can cost enterprises up to 30 percent of operating income


The financial impact of a ransomware attack can cost businesses up to 30 percent of their operating income, with smaller enterprises hit proportionally harder.
A new report from ThreatConnect looks at the financial impact of ransomware attacks on small ($500M), medium ($1.5B) and large ($15B) organizations within healthcare, manufacturing, and utilities.
Enterprises plan to increase cloud service investment as part of network transformation


In a drive for network transformation, 98 percent of enterprise IT leaders say they plan to increase their dependence and investment in cloud services.
The latest Enterprise Network Transformation report from SASE solutions company Aryaka finds that although an uncertain economy is impacting network and security team investments CIOs, CISOs and IT leaders are doubling down on investment in the cloud.
The most important factors in modern enterprise backup


Technology and the data that powers it are continually evolving. This is particularly true with enterprise organizations, which are more focused than ever on protecting and securing their data across increasingly complex IT environments. Against this backdrop, what do enterprises need to focus on?
Firstly, a Modern Data Protection strategy and the deployed backup solution supporting it must be able to protect workloads across any IT environment. The rise of cloud migration and affiliated services has meant that the physical data center is no longer the heart of the IT infrastructure. The Veeam Data Protection Trends Report 2023 found that the average breakdown of servers is 28 percent in physical servers within a data center, 25 percent on virtual machines (VMs) hosted within the data center and 47 percent on VMs hosted within a hyperscaler or Managed Service Provider (MSP). This means that the modern environment is heavily dispersed, highly virtualized and mostly cloud-hosted.
New solution offers cheaper enterprise-grade cloud storage


A new enterprise-grade, native cloud storage solution aims to deliver increased speed, affordability and security thanks to its use of decentralized Web3 technology.
Impossible Cloud supports almost unlimited capacity, and its Object Storage solution offers a scalable, cost-efficient alternative for organizations that require reliable and secure storage.
Strong data protection can deliver economic benefits for enterprises


As enterprises move to cloud and hybrid models they face a range of new challenges in protecting their data.
A new study from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), released by Commvault and Microsoft, finds that 53 percent of respondents say their IT environment was more complex than it was two years ago.
Vulnerable cloud attack surface grows almost 600 percent


A new report from cyber asset visibility and management company JupiterOne shows numbers of enterprise cyber assets have increased by 133 percent year-on-year, from an average of 165,000 in 2022 to 393,419 in 2023.
Organizations have also seen the number of security vulnerabilities, or unresolved findings, increase by 589 percent according to the report which analyzed more than 291 million assets, findings, and policies to establish the current state of enterprise cloud assets, including cloud and physical environments of devices, networks, apps, data, and users.
Data mobility -- why it's a must and how to achieve it [Q&A]


Data is still essential for enterprises, but the rise of hybrid working and the adoption of multi-cloud environments has made data mobility and migration a hot topic.
We spoke to Mark Greenlaw, VP of product strategy for Cirrus Data, to discuss data mobility, what's driving it and how organizations need to adapt.
Cloud spending has become a critical performance indicator for data teams


Cloud spending is now a critical KPI for the majority of data teams, according to a new report. Almost 80 percent of business stakeholders say cloud spending is a critical KPI while 55 percent of data practitioners say the same.
The study, from data observability platform Unravel Data, surveyed 350 data professionals at the Data Teams Summit event earlier this year and shows that in addition to cloud spending being elevated as a top KPI, 44 percent report that they believe that they are leaving money on the table when it comes to their public cloud utilization.
Guarding against attacks targeting hybrid Active Directory environments [Q&A]


Active Directory (AD) is used by 90 percent of enterprises as the primary source of trust for identity and access. But it can also be a weak link, exploited in many modern cyberattacks.
We spoke to Ran Harel, senior director of product management at Semperis, to explore the challenges in securing a hybrid AD environment and how organizations can best defend this expanded attack surface.
