Cloud migration of modern enterprise infrastructure has been a defining trait
of recent times. The cloud brings increased efficiency, streamlined
operations, an increased shared knowledge base, and scale that was simply not
possible earlier. Enterprise IT executives expect that 60 percent of
workloads will run in various clouds by 2018 according to survey data of
1,200 buyers by 451 Research.
However, according to the NorthBridge Future of Cloud Computing survey, the
largest survey of its kind, security remains the number one inhibitor of
enterprise migration to the cloud. One of the key reasons for this is that
enterprises relinquish control of their infrastructure in the process, and
suffer a lack of privacy and protection from the cloud provider while running
in a public cloud.
According to the NorthBridge survey, enterprises' biggest concerns include

Because security is an increasing concern for developers, a new movement is
emerging, known as DevSecOps, which encourages developers to bring security
and standards to the forefront while building applications. That means
there's good reason to stay on top of security information and event
management trends and best practices, as well as the solutions that support
it. With that in mind, let's take a look at how it works, benefits for
developers, and why it matters.
Definition of SIEM
Security information and event management or SIEM is a security management
approach that gives you a comprehensive look into how your information
technology is performing. Simply put, it involves the real-time analysis of
all security alerts that are generated by applications and network hardware.
Security information and event management brings together all the relevant

How to Protect IoT Gateways from Security Vulnerabilities
By Atri Raychowdhury
On October 2016, Dyn, a Domain Name Server (DNS) company was the target of a
massive coordinated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack leaving the
world not able to connect to popular websites such as Twitter, Amazon.com,
BBC, Reddit, Spotify, and more. DDoS attacks occur when multiple resources
flood the bandwidth and/or resources of a targeted system which in turn
overloads it, preventing it from fulfilling legitimate requests. This attack
was carried out by installing malware on Internet of Things (IoT) enabled
devices including baby monitors and cameras. Although IoT is touted as a
promising, emerging innovation that will drive tremendous business value,
attacks such as these highlight the security vulnerabilities that currently
exist and their grave implications.

Medical Device Safety in a Connected World
Consumers increasingly expect their electronic "things" to be connected to
smart phones, tablets and the Internet. When that thing happens to be a
medical device, the risks and benefits of connectivity must be carefully
weighed. Once the decision is made that connecting the device is beneficial,
medical device manufacturers must design their products to maintain patient
safety and prevent compromised personal health information in the face of
cybersecurity threats.

Why Network Visibility Beyond the Firewall Is Critical in the IoT Era
In the hybrid IT era, complexity is the name of the game. In fact, according
to the recent SolarWinds IT Trends Report 2017, IT professionals report the
number one challenge of hybrid IT is increased infrastructure complexity.
Accelerating complexity is just one challenge in how hybrid IT is affecting
IT departments. Internet of things (IoT) implementations are a great example
of one more unexpected, emerging technology IT teams must address.
In the report, IT professionals reported the second greatest challenge of
hybrid IT is lack of control and visibility into the performance of
cloud-based applications and infrastructure. Most IoT devices connect to
cloud back ends or edge/fog-distributed endpoints, rather than traditional
data centers. Distributed workloads by their nature put admins in a bind,... (more)
