Thinking about Cyber-Security

NAND Research — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 23:00:00 -0400

How should IT professionals think about cyber-security in a world where business-impacting ransomware and malware attacks have become a daily occurrence?

Hosts Matt Kimball and Steve McDowell, senior technology analysts for Moor Insights & Strategy, have a wide-ranging conversation about the current state of cyber-security with Timothy Liu, Senior VP and CTO, as well as a co-founder of Hillstone Networks. HIllstone Networks has been a player in the IT security market since 2006.

The group hits a broad set of related topics, including:

Current trends in data protection: breach vs post-breach protection, ransomware, secured access services
How to think about security differently for cloud, edge, and core.
Using AI and advanced analytics to detect malware before the time of impact
What's on the horizon of security defence?

It's a great and timely discussion.

Special Guest: Tim Liu.

Securing the Infrastructure Supply Chain

NAND Research — Tue, 02 Jun 2020 14:00:00 -0400

You don't always think about the security of your vendor's supply chain as a part of your organization's cybersecurity and compliance efforts -- but you should. Everything from ensuring the authenticity of components, all the way through the potential exploitation of systems & subsystems in-transit can cause enterprise's damage.

This episode has hosts Steve McDowell and Matt Kimball, both senior analysts at Moor Insights & Strategy, talking with John Grosso, Hewlett Packard Enterprise's vice president, global supply chain, about what these issues are, and how technology providers like HPE are addressing them.

Special Guest: John Grosso.

Cybersecurity in the age of the Intelligent Edge: A conversation with HPE and Aruba

NAND Research — Thu, 26 Mar 2020 10:00:00 -0400

The Intelligent Edge, encompassing "devices that aren't in the datacenter", is growing at a nearly exponential rate. This challenges how traditional IT thinks about managing intelligent infrastructure, especially at the intersection of IT and OT, forcing everyone to think just a little bit differently -- all of this as nearly every company is forging their own paths.

DataCentric hosts Matt Kimball and Steve McDowell are joined by two experts in this field: Jon Green, VP and Chief Security Technologist and Aruba, a Hewlett Packard company, and Tim Ferrell, master cybersecurity architect at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, bring their unique perspectives about the challenges involved.

The gang ponders the how IT should think about evolving people, processes, and practices in the age of the Intelligent Edge.

This episode is sponsored by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.

Special Guests: Jon Green and Tim Ferrell.

Cyber-Security with HPE's Bob Moore: Live from HPE Discover

NAND Research — Mon, 24 Jun 2019 10:00:00 -0400

During this wide-ranging half-hour discussion recorded live at the 2019 HPE Discover in Las Vegas, hosts Steve McDowell and Matt Kimball talk to HPE's Director of Server Software and Product Security, Bob Moore, about the insidious attack vectors that are emerging. This covers everything from firmware attacks to supply chain interceptions, along with the growth of mafia-like organizations that are driving attacks at an unprecedented scale.

We also talk about how the industry is helping IT respond to those attacks. IT best practices are being supplemented by silicon-based defenses, AI-driven predictive analytics (such as HPE's own InfoSight), and new cyber-insurance offerings.

It's a jam-packed, wide-ranging discussion. It's also one you won't want to miss.

Thanks you to Bob Moore for joining us, and HPE's analyst relations team for helping coordinate it all.

Special Guest: Bob Moore.
