Securing Your Web Server
In March 2014, South Korean telecom major, KT Corp suffered a major cyber-attack in which, reportedly, personal information of 12 million customers was put at risk. Around the same time, the North Dakota University System alerted over 290,000 students and alumni as well as some faculty members that their personal details including social security numbers might have been compromised following an attack on one of their servers. These and other serious server breaches in the very recent past have revealed major weaknesses in server –level security. Threats currently appear […]
Benefits and Possible Drawbacks of Cloud-based Server Monitoring Systems
With more and more businesses looking to increase efficiencies through virtualization, server monitoring has acquired a critical role. Appropriate deployment of the right server monitoring solution can deliver efficient resource allocation and optimum database and application performance, thereby increasing business productivity and enhancing competitive ability.
Companies implement virtualization in order to reduce the cost of investing in physical servers, to save time as well as to cut down on energy expenses and cooling costs. One stands to capitalize on virtualization only if one can maximize server uptime and allocate resources […]
Network Security – The Importance of Securing Third Party Access
Though a data breach is one of the biggest fears facing IT security managers today, the frequency with which data thefts including some relatively unsophisticated and easily preventable ones are taking place demonstrate the lapses in implementing multi-layered security measures.  Given the rapid technological advances in infiltration methods, it’s unrealistic to expect any organization to have a totally fail-safe barrier against cyber-attacks, but it’s crucial that they focus on securing the network using a robust combination of network knowledge, advanced detection tools and reactive measures.
One of the most glaring […]
Choosing SSL Certificates
If you operate an ecommerce website or one that stores confidential or sensitive information, you’ll probably want to pay extra attention to the way you protect your users. In most cases, that includes applying a Secure Socket Layer Certificate (a.k.a. SSL cert or even just “cert”) to encrypt the data as it travels between systems and to provide visual cues to your users that you’re taking steps to protect their data.
In this post, I’ll discuss the types of SSL certificates and why you would choose one over another.
All SSL […]
The Importance of Network Monitoring
With threats evolving rapidly, networks are more vulnerable than ever today. In order to prevent network intrusions and data compromises, network security managers need to combine network knowledge with advanced detection and response technologies to protect their systems and customers’ data. Because hackers are increasingly launching multi-pronged attacks on networked systems, constant monitoring of network activity at all levels is crucial to pre-empting and confronting blended threats.
Unlike the single-vector attacks of the past such as infiltrating systems through an email or a pop-up window, today’s intrusions are engineered to […]
Hybrid Cloud Foils Mythic Fears of Cloud Computing
Hybrid Cloud
Cloud computing has moved well beyond the hype wave and emerged as the key enabler of business innovation in recent years. Yet, industry laggards are struggling to navigate the risky skies of cloud computing and still consider the $50 billion technology industry as the “future arrived too early”. Fortunately for businesses looking to leverage the promising enterprise technology, cloud computing isn’t an all-or-none proposition. A hybrid strategy creating a middle ground between economic savings and scalability of the public cloud, and security protection and agility of the private […]
Choosing an Appropriate Linux Server
Though Linux is more commonly used as a desktop operating system than in the server space, there are more than a few Linux server options available. The choice of a Linux server depends on the user’s needs and one’s level of expertise with Linux. Today, Linux servers are deployed by small businesses, corporates and even stock exchanges.
Some general characteristics that users across the spectrum look for are stability over the long term, ease-of-use, security, hardware flexibility and scalability, commercial support as well as relatively reasonable ownership costs. Reliable and […]
