Within enterprises – and even small businesses – there are two distinct groups with differing goals, needs and objectives when it comes to business intelligence and analytics strategies. Business users are tasked with analyzing Big Data to help their companies make timely and more meaningful decisions, and as such, require immediate access to a wide variety of sources, including structured, semi-structured, unstructured and streaming data. On the other side of the house, IT professionals are tasked with storing and securing massive data stores, as well as ensuring regulatory compliance of corporate information. Therefore, they prefer to make information available on an as-needed basis, rather than creating an environment of open access. So the tug-of-war game begins.

GSX Solutions to Define the Next Generation of Performance Monitoring | @CloudExpo #Cloud
For a company in the IT sector, a 20-year anniversary signifies that we have experienced and endured so many radical changes in the industry.

Then came the age of software, then something called the Internet, and now another something called the cloud. Every time, we thought that nothing more could be invented, another massive change would take place. If we are still here and thriving after 20 years, it is a testament to our ability to realize that things will always be constantly changing, and that we must adapt to new worlds.

Get Smart with IP Intelligence By @PSilvas | @CloudExpo #Cloud #Security
There are always threats out there on the big bad internet. The majority of breaches happen at the application layer and many OWASP Top 10s like SQL injection are still malicious favorites to gain entry. Add to that the availability of DDoS tools, anonymous proxies and the rise of hacktivism means networks and systems are bigger targets than ever. Threat detection today relies on a couple elements: Identifying suspicious activity among the billions of data points and refining a large set of suspicious incidents down to those that matter.
