Cyber criminals go to where the data is. More and more data is moving to the cloud, so more attacks are moving to the cloud. That’s not to say that mobile devices aren’t a great way to attack the cloud…they are. However, since more critical data is moving to the cloud, we will see a lot of developments in terms of cloud security.
Cloud backlash
As businesses become better at identifying the strengths and weaknesses of public clouds, private clouds (or just plain virtualization) will continue to be the cost-effective choice for large enterprise stable workloads, with new, variable usage, public...

The Pythia , commonly known as the Oracle of Delphi, was the priestess at the Temple of Apollo at Delphi, located on the slopes of Mount Parnassus. The Pythia was widely credited for her prophecies inspired by Apollo.
Amazon Web Service’s (AWS) first user conference in November 2012 was over-subscribed and sold out. Given that the company offers all the infrastructure you need (and then some) in a public cloud: Linux and Windows instances, databases, storage, elastic load balancers, messaging…. it has become apparent that Infrastructure as a Service...

(Hint: it’s all about the cloud and mobile). Check out the highlights here.
This post is full of some juicy details because Dell provided some time with Kevin Jones, Dell’s VP & GM of Infrastructure and Cloud Computing...

What are some things that we should be watching out for around Cloud Security in 2013?
This time every year, Raimund Genes, Trend Micro’s Chief Technology Officer (CTO) and his colleagues here take stock of what they’ve seen in the past year and what they think we can expect in the coming year. For 2013, in the area of cloud security, Raimund thinks that increasing adoption of the cloud poses specific risks for customers’ data and the Internet more broadly.
In terms of risks to customers of cloud-based services, Raimund outlines his belief that data protection should be the key area of...

VDI has come a long way since its origins in 2005 and 2006. When I ran strategic planning for a large virtualization vendor in 2006, analysts declared it to be “the year of VDI.” However, for several years after, it seemed that large scale deployments were always just out of reach for most enterprises because of performance and scale issues.
All that has changed. VDI is finally happening at scale across a variety of industries. The early adopters selected VDI because they were concerned about data security. The early VDI solutions originally had a higher operational cost than running desktops....
