Provide the Dropbox Experience with Your Existing File SharesLive Event Date: March 18, 2014 @ 1:00 p.m. ET / 10:00 a.m. PT Public cloud services like Dropbox took off in the workplace because enterprise file sharing needed (very badly) to catch up with enterprise email. Most organizations already know how to enable secure access to email via mobile devices. Email clients like Outlook automatically sync your email so you have access to it offline, and of course you can send email to people outside your organization. Dropbox and other cloud file sharing technologies jumped ahead of SMB file shares by offering this type of experience sharing, but now the technology exists to do the same thing with the file shares already in your data center. With DatAnywhere, you can leverage your existing storage infrastructure, permissions, and Active Directory to give users the benefits of cloud-style file sharing while keeping data on your existing SMB/CIFS file shares. With DatAnywhere you can: Create secure private cloud experience using your existing file sharing infrastructure Keep data on your file servers and definitive copy in corporate storage Keep and enforce existing permissions (e.g., NTFS and AD) Provide secure, enterprise-capable file synchronization and mobile device access Provide secure file sharing with customers, partners and other third parties Featured Speakers: David Gibson - VP at Varonis Systems Rob Sobers - Director at Varonis Systems Paul Gillin - QuinStreet Moderator Attend this live eSeminar and be automatically entered to win a new iPad Air!

Addressing the "Big Data" Issue: What You Need to KnowThese days, you're probably hearing a lot of hype about "big data." Vendors are currently hawking a wealth of new tools, all of which promise to help your organization unlock previously inaccessible insights from your proprietary information. According to the authors, there is no doubt that big data, i.e., organization-wide data that's being managed in a centralized repository, can yield valuable discoveries that will result in improved products and performance — if properly analyzed. Nonetheless, you must look before you leap. First, is your company culture ready for such a move? How will data managers be affected when scores of discrete data silos are gathered and reviewed as a whole? How will you involve leadership and others in ongoing decision-making processes? How will you choose your architecture and tools from the dizzying array of options that are currently available? How will you stay up-to-date in this rapidly evolving field? Finally, how will you train your company's users so that they can actually leverage the new capabilities? This ExecBlueprint explores these and other key concerns. -
Trends In Big Data Security AnalyticsHow do you find a needle in a haystack when you don't even know what the needle looks like? That's the problem today's enterprises face in trying to spot advanced targeted cyber attacks. These attacks don't match known attack signatures, because hackers have custom created them to infiltrate your network and steal your data. Big Data Security Analytics uses Big Data techniques to sift through mountains of data to identify the suspicious things you should focus on. In this program, Gartner Distinguished Analyst, Neil MacDonald, and HP Director of Product Marketing, Eric Schou, reveal how Big Data Security Analytics help spot targeted cyber attacks before damage is done. You'll also find out how HP ArcSight is using Big Data Security Analytics to protect its customers.

Third-Party Applications in the Enterprise: Management and Risk Mitigation
Third-party applications, browsers and plugins have become the attack vector of choice for the modern cyber criminal. Computing surveyed over 200 UK business decision makers to understand how they perceived the risks that they faced from third-party applications. We set out to understand how they were managing and mitigating the challenges to employee productivity, compliance and information security.
This paper features a detailed discussion of the survey findings alongside analysis of how third-party applications have come to pose such a threat. The paper discusses why vulnerabilities for which remediation is available are so widespread and why business organisations are often slow to deploy up-to-date versions of popular third-party applications and security patches. The paper concludes with a discussion of why only a holistic approach to endpoint security management can empower organizations to realize the benefits of third-party applications whilst mitigating the risks that they can present.
