Network security best practices and essentials
Your network security is increasingly complex and the ostensibly simple matter of just keeping track of its components has spawned a slew of network discovery tools. But if that complexity weren’t enough, the attacks that chew at your network every day are also growing in complexity and stealth at breakneck speed. So you need a correspondingly complex set of network security tools. And more than that, you need strategy. The increasing complexity of network attack methods has made it necessary to implement equally complex security tools and - more importantly - strategies. Read this Essential Guide on information security to learn more about key elements of a well-coordinated security strategy.

From virtualization to cloud computing
Many companies have become comfortable with virtualization, which lays the foundation for developing a private or hybrid cloud strategy. But to optimize their infrastructure, IT pros need to understand that a cloud environment has some key differences from an environment that is just virtualized. In this e-book series, we define the cloud and the attributes—like automation, chargeback and new management tools and strategies—that take virtualized data centers to the next level. With advice on selecting virtualization vendors and tools that will help in this process, readers will be able to make informed decisions about their virtualization strategy and design a smart architecture for cloud, rather than approaching it on a costly trial-and-error basis.
