VDI-Centric Endpoint Security Can Help Lower Costs and Increase ROI

In August of 1981, IBM introduced its model 5150 personal computer complete with an Intel processor and operating system from a little-known Seattle-based software company named Microsoft. Henceforth, enterprise endpoint computing has been all but equated with Windows and Intel-based desktop and laptop PCs deployed across the network. Over the past few years, however, the endpoint computing model has begun to change in several ways. One visible new endpoint computing model is called Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI).

Technology Companies RealizeTransformative Benefits From Advanced SD-WAN With Integrated Security

whitePaper | October 24, 2022

Technology-driven organizations have the lead in embracing new technology trends for their digital transformation initiatives. The COVID-19 pandemic introduced unprecedented challenges in terms of disrupted operations, changed delivery models, and the urgent need to support remote work for enterprises in all industries. Technology companies were best able to adjust to the new circumstances, since most were already well into their digital transformation journey. The pandemic further emphasized the need to accelerate digital maturity and align IT investments with changing business needs. Organizations are thus prioritizing solutions that enable IT resource optimization; operational efficiency and customer experience improvement; as well as support an increasingly distributed workforce.

Zero Trust Maturity Model

whitePaper | June 13, 2023

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) leads the nation’s effort to understand, manage, and reduce cybersecurity risk, including by supporting Federal Civilian Executive Branch agencies in evolving and operationalizing cybersecurity programs and capabilities. CISA’s Zero Trust Maturity Model (ZTMM) provides an approach to achieve continued modernization efforts related to zero trust within a rapidly evolving environment and technology landscape. This ZTMM is one of many paths that an organization can take in designing and implementing their transition plan to zero trust architectures in accordance with Executive Order (EO) 14028 “Improving the Nation’s Cybersecurity” § (3)(b)(ii),1 which requires that agencies develop a plan to implement a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). While the ZTMM is specifically tailored for federal agencies as required by EO 14028, all organizations should review and consider adoption of the approaches outlined in this document.

Enterprise Wired & Wireless Network Security by Nile

whitePaper | December 12, 2022

Historically, enterprise network security has been defined by a series of painful tradeoffs. Simply put, flat networks were easy to manage but gave attackers free reign to spread and cause damage once inside the network. On the other hand, the more secure and tightly controlled architectures defined by Zero Trust exponentially increased the cost, complexity, and effort required from staff. Ultimately, this forced organizations into uneasy compromises that were expensive, left technical teams overworked, and fell well short of the ideals of Zero Trust.

Infrastructure Protection Best Practices

whitePaper | December 14, 2022

In the post-pandemic world, we spread data everywhere. As remote and hybrid workforce models become the norm, multi-cloud deployments evolve into the de facto computing standard for distributed workloads. This expands the attack surface well beyond the walls of a traditional data center and overextends already understaffed security teams. As a result, organizations struggle to combat the growing number of insider and outsider threats targeting their invaluable digital assets.
