The Internet of Things has incredible potential. Unfortunately, it’s also a cybersecurity disaster waiting to happen. Lax vendor practices, a fast-growing threat surface, and a lack of understanding have created the perfect storm for massive DDoS attacks, compromised networks, and more.
Colocation Offers Better Performance And Security For SaaS Applications
The SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) model has transformed the way we think about delivering applications and services. Consumer and enterprise applications routinely use the web platform to create flexible interfaces powered by API-delivered backend data services, often improving the quality, security, and user experience of applications.
Using Live Backups? Here’s Why That Might Be A Bad Thing
The range of threats facing modern businesses grows ever larger. And as the entire corporate world moves down the path towards digital transformation, the profitability of cybercrime grows exponentially. One of the largest areas of growth, unsurprisingly, is ransomware.
Three Signs Your Server Is About To Fail And What You Can Do About It
Eventually, all hardware fails.
It’s your job to ensure it fails gracefully, without taking your business offline. Redundant systems are a good first step. They ensure that even if a critical component fails, your server remains operational, ‘failing over’ to a backup.
Security Compliance Is Less Expensive Than Security Breaches
The cost of complying with privacy and security regulations is high, so high that many companies — whether deliberately or negligently — fail to implement the protections and processes that would keep data safe. Security requires investment in process, staff, and technology, but as a recent study from Ponemon shows, not making that investment is likely to be the more expensive course of action.
Who Uses Managed Dedicated Servers?
Dedicated servers — often called bare metal servers — offer more power, stability, and control than cloud and multi-tenant hosting options. In fact, all other hosting options build on the capabilities of dedicated servers. Infrastructure-as-a-service platforms, virtual private server hosting, software-as-a-service applications, and traditional shared hosting rely on the power and flexibility of bare metal.
Five Dedicated Server Myths Debunked
Dedicated servers are the foundation of every other type of hosting, from shared hosting to the largest cloud platforms. At the bottom of every infrastructure hosting stack is a physical server in a data center, although it might be obscured by virtualization layers and slick interfaces.
A Great Dedicated Server Is More Than Specifications And Price
The specifications of a dedicated server determine its capabilities. There is a huge difference between a low-end dedicated server and the most powerful servers on the market. For the best server hosting experience, dedicated server users should be careful to match server specifications to the resource needs of their application.
Cybersecurity Artificial Intelligence is Powerful – But It Has One Major Weakness
Traditional cybersecurity is a little like building a fortress. You do everything in your power to keep attackers out and sensitive data in. Unfortunately, that security model is a relic of a simpler time.
The walls are crumbling, and any business that doesn’t adapt will find itself completely unable to protect its data.
Three Unique Uses For A Dedicated Server
Most people, when they hear mention of a dedicated server, tend to think in pretty limited scope. They’re for large websites, for databases and application development. People use them for storage, or for project management.
