2008-07-23 19:00:00 by Bruce Schneier in Wired Security
 
...expensive, inefficient and incomplete. We need to design security into our systems right from the beginning. We need assurance . We need security engineers involved in system design. This process won't prevent every vulnerability, but it's much more secure -- and cheaper -- than the patch treadmill we're all on now What a security engineer...

...expensive from a resource perspective. Imagine having Symantec Personal Firewall/AV on each virtual machine and lets say you have 20 virtual machines in an environment. If all of those host based security tools kick off a virus scan at the same time, don't you think the CPU cycles will spike Once they spike, the CPU resources are not...

How WAN optimization and application acceleration improve branch office network performance

2008-04-03 00:00:00 by Robin Layland in WhatIs: Enterprise IT tips and expert advice
 
...expensive. It takes IT staff extra time and expensive tools to diagnose problems remotely. The remoteness leads to frustration for both the branch office workers and the IT staff. Remote servers waste resources if they are running at low utilization, which is a common occurrence. Backup and recovery takes longer and uses expensive WAN...

...expensive provisioning of physical devices. I only pay for the storage as long as I need the evidence Eliminate forensic image verification time : Some Cloud Storage implementations expose a cryptographic checksum or hash. For example, Amazon S3 generates an MD5 hash automagically when you store an object. In theory you no longer need to...
