Cloud Computing in the Midmarket: Assessing the Options
Source: IBM
You may be looking at cloud computing as a means to access IT resources that may not be affordable otherwise. Cloud solution options include public, private and hybrid models each of which offers its own benefits, cost model and risks. Read this analyst brief from IDC to learn about each of these models and discover how your organization can take advantage of them. The paper also looks at how organizations can integrate cloud solutions into existing infrastructures and how an incremental implementation approach might work. Finally the paper explains some principles for measuring the success of your cloud solutions.

The Farmers Insurance Case Study tells the story of Perimeter's progressive relationship with Farmers Insurance and Perimeter's messaging suite of services.

* 24/7/365 support, 99.9% availability, and data redundancy
* Seamlessly integrated archiving compliance solution to give agents and reviewers single sign on to their archives.

The report underlines what we like to call the known/unknown challenge - the great divide between what programs you think you have installed and what you actually have installed, and what you then choose to patch. For instance, the programs that an organisation perceives as top priorities to patch vs. the programs that cybercriminals actually target are often vastly different. A typical corporate infrastructure contains layers of programs that organisations a) consider business-critical, b) know about, and c) don't know about. Many organisations will focus on patching the top layer - business-critical programs - only. However, cybercriminals will target all programs. The good news is that we can all take back control. 72% of vulnerabilities had patches available on the day of disclosure; therefore the power to patch end-points is in the hands of all end-users and organisations.

The report explores the correlation between the current use of patch management and the level of endpoint-related risk that companies are effectively accepting.
A risk-based approach is proven to be a critical element of successfully managing vulnerabilities and threats. However, the overriding message is that deploying patch management represents the first half of the battle - HOW you patch also affects how you accept endpoint-related risk. Knowing how and what to patch pays off. The report explores the correlation between the current use of patch management and the level of endpoint-related risk that companies are effectively accepting.
