Understanding the Role of Stolen Credentials in Data Breaches: White Paper

Security practitioners and threat actors are constantly developing new techniques to gain advantages over the other. In recent years, security teams have stepped up their approaches to protecting their infrastructure by fortifying their network perimeter defenses, building up protections against advanced malware, upgrading vulnerable operating systems, automating the delivery of patches to stop exploits, and developing counter-measures to spot intruders. The threat actors looking to circumvent these measures are shifting their attention toward the next weakest link in the security chain – the user.


An IT Professional's Guide to Display Technology: White Paper

Campuses spend time, energy and money training staff to be effective visual communicators and professors are expected to have these skills to communicate lessons. When a new product is introduced to a room full of editors, when a circuit board is analyzed by a team of engineers, or a professor is trying to bring a concept to life, the visuals are as important, maybe even more, than the spoken word.


NetApp, Citrix and Cisco cordially invite you to be a part of the discussions as today’s technologies give birth to a powerfully flexible, anytime, anywhere environment that allows students and faculty to advance their educational experiences to the next level.
Imagine a simpler, faster, more secure way to access and share information. One that enables virtual access, leverages the latest in mobile devices, adapts to changes as fast as necessary, transforms traditional desktop computing and easily scales to handle growth.

As the phenomenon of software as a service gains traction, in fact, thin clients are already replacing desktop PCs in many government, commercial and educational settings.
