New Release: The Gorilla Guide to…® Secure IT for Small and Midsize Businesses, Express Edition!
Much lip service is given to IT security, yet breaches and ransomware attacks routinely make the headlines. The gap between aspiration and true security is often due to the difficulty and expense of viable security.
True computer security experts are expensive and hard to find. Current trends—notably access to apps through mobile devices and remote work—present a landscape for attack that is widely spread out and scattered. New threats keep popping up, taking advantage of flaws in sophisticated third-party software. Encryption and other security measures add overhead that hurt performance and response time unless you use specialized cloud solutions, such as Flash arrays.
All these burdens fall hard on large businesses, and even harder on small and medium sized businesses (SMBs). No wonder it’s easiest to check off a few security boxes and hope that nothing goes wrong.
The Gorilla Guide To…® Secure IT for Small and Midsize Businesses lays out the risks of lax IT security and presents reasonable actions an SMB can take to improve security. For instance, you don’t have to set up a single network bringing together all your assets and employees. You can divide your network logically into different segments for different purposes using Instant On, a product of Aruba, a subsidiary of Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE).
Some of the key technologies covered in this report are two-factor authentication, virtual private networks (VPNs), virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), the importance of security at the edge, and the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) concept illustrated in Figure 1.
With examples from HPE, The Gorilla Guide To…® Secure IT for Small and Midsize Businesses shows the strategies and planning required to achieve end-to-end IT security and reliable disaster recovery.
