As any thorough security assessment can tell you, every infrastructure is vulnerable to cyberthreats. In the face of growing phishing and ransomware attacks, IT leaders must look to advanced anti-malware protection and cloud security measures to guard sensitive corporate data. Next-generation firewalls — many of which feature built-in intrusion prevention system (IPS) technology — allow organizations to analyze network traffic and detect and block vulnerability exploits. Identity and access management (IAM) products and single sign-on (SSO) technology can then go beyond traditional password security to centralize authentication and authorization. Hear from CDW cybersecurity experts as they discuss these protections and others, and explore the benefits of a holistic security approach.

Why It's Important to Have Visibility into Mobile Networks
Control over mobile connections to external networks can boost user productivity and IT security.
By Kevin Hart
Most organizations spend massive amounts of time, energy and financial resources trying to make their corporate networks as secure and reliable as possible.
That's important, of course — necessary, even. But it's no longer sufficient.

Many organizations have embraced software-defined innovations such as the software-defined data center and the software-defined WAN, taking advantage of programmability and automation to simplify the management of their networks and other data center resources. What's been missing, until recently, was a way to achieve the same benefits at the access layer of the network.
Multicloud Strategies, Single-Tenant Services and Managed Firewalls: 3 Can't-Miss Cloud Opportunities
Organizations can become leaner and more effective by leveraging cloud resources in new ways.

Recently, someone asked me how organizations can take advantage of untapped cloud consumption capabilities.
At first, the question stumped me. After all, public cloud computing is a well-established model at this point, and virtually every organization is taking advantage of cloud software, infrastructure or platforms on some level. Even organizations that are keeping a sizable chunk of their resources in-house typically have a reason to do so — whether that has to do with cost, security or the need to run legacy applications on certain infrastructure. (It's not as though these IT administrators simply haven't considered the cloud.)
