The State of Cloud-Native Security 2023 Report

What was learned from the third annual cloud-native security survey? Two themes stand out — life in the cloud does indeed move fast, much faster than we would have imagined 12 months ago. And complexity, in one form or another, is ubiquitous, obstinate and an undermining force when it comes to securing cloud-native environments.


High Stakes: Research Requires Smarter Secure Data Protection

Managing sensitive research data takes savvy security, storage, and recovery practices. The right mix of tools and business processes are critical to success.


Solving IT Staffing Challenges with Managed Services

Historically, colleges and universities have taken a “do-it-yourself” approach to deploying and managing their network infrastructure. However, campus leaders are starting to rethink this method as they look for ways to solve for a shortage of IT talent.
