Enterprise IT leaders plan to cut cloud spending
A new study from Vega Cloud on the use of cloud software and services by enterprise IT executives shows 48 percent expect to reduce their IT spending a little or a lot in 2023.
In addition, 65 percent say that reducing their cloud spending will be a goal for this year, while three-quarters of IT execs surveyed say they plan to cut cloud costs by between 10 and 50 percent in 2023.
Achieving SQL server high availability in a multi-platform environment
Today's organizations often manage SQL Server databases across various platforms, including physical, virtual, cloud, on-premises, hybrid cloud, and cloud-to-cloud environments. Managing individual instances of SQL Server in these diverse environments is challenging enough. How can you ensure that your key SQL Server databases are highly available -- meaning, accessible 99.99 percent of the time -- when so many platforms are involved?
High availability (HA) in a multi-platform environment depends on multiple factors. You’re going to need at least two systems running SQL Server, but where your primary and secondary systems reside -- on-prem, in the cloud, in multiple clouds, or some combination of these -- really doesn’t matter. What matters is that the data is reliably replicated among the primary and secondary environments. That requires a robust data replication system, seamless communications between the primary and secondary environments, and systems in place to monitor the health of both environments and to manage failover in the event that your primary SQL Server system becomes unavailable.
Versa delivers zero trust access across the enterprise
Hybrid cloud and hybrid work have changed where and how we access systems, challenging organizations to find ways to secure the enterprise while delivering the best user experience.
While cloud-delivered Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions are now widely adopted to secure remote work, they don't deliver the application performance and inline policy enforcement needed for workers at the office.
Behavioral AI platform defends against multi-channel attacks
While email remains the most common path to target an organization, we're increasingly using other tools like Slack, Teams and Zoom too, so cybercriminals are steadily shifting their tactics and targeting these additional entry points across the enterprise.
AI-based email security platform Abnormal Security is launching a range of new additions to its product focused on expanding security detection for these collaboration tools.
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.

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.
