Taking down a competitor’s website can be very valuable. Unlike Hacktivists, with generally short attention spans, or regular cybercriminals, who usually give up when faced with adequate protection, these well-funded attacks persist over time, and employ multiple, sophisticated vectors.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Marc Gaffan, Co-Founder & VP of Business Development at Incapsula, will review a real case study defending against one of the largest, most sophisticated an...Aug. 30, 2013 01:00 PM EDT Reads: 1,073

Now a handful of new solutions deliver data that is not only timely, but also contextually insightful for sales & marketing.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Howard Brown, Founder & CEO of RingDNA, will look at how and why c...
It seems that everyone is a cloud provider these days. Much like the early Internet period of the ’90s or the early PC period of the ’80s, there is a lot of promise but also some peril. Standards are still being solidified, implementations vary even at the same service provider, and cloud deployments are hard to migrate. This last point is particularly problematic should the service provider choice be unfortunate.
In his Opening Keynote at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Rich Place, Lead P...

Open source clouds are taking off fast, but some still doubt their practical business application. In reality, however, open clouds better deliver on all the benefits that made cloud appealing in the first place: interoperability, innovation and cost efficiency. With an open cloud, companies aren't investing in obsolete technology; instead, an active community keeps them on the cutting edge of innovation.
In his session at the 13th International Cloud Expo®, Kyle MacDonald, Vice President of Cl...

Before you get any further, let me reiterate - these are totally unscientific and the sample size is rather small as it was taken from two sessions at the conference focusing on SDN and application services. The good news is that the results pretty much mirror every other survey and research with re...

Once the initial thrill of SDN abated to a dull roar, the issue of what to do about higher order services (layers 4-7) was raised. Thus far, we've seen some fairly expected responses with notions like service chaining and SDN application service insertion into the controller.
What's been missing, h...
SDN may be getting more attention than SDDC (Software Defined Data Center), but the reality is that SDN is part of a much larger initiative; one that encompasses the whole of the data center.
