Containment• RAAS – everybody is moving to “Service” (and we
mean everybody)• Microsoft –phones, retiring software, new versions,
more cloud!• BI: Data->Information->Context
THE CLOUD IS JUST ANOTHER STRATEGY
“While cloud will not quite become a pure commodity like electricity, it will be so prevalent in IT architecture that cloud-specific focus will give way to overall solution planning.” (CompTIA)
By 2018 half of IT spending will be cloud based (IDC)
SECURITY –CHANGING THE FOCUS FROM PREVENTION TO CONTAINMENT
Between zero-day exploits and the ever-changing attack methods, security vendors are spending more resources containing effected devices.
Multi-faceted security strategies are more critical than ever AV software is not a sufficient security strategy
RAAS – EVERYBODY IS MOVING TO “SERVICE” (AND WE MEAN EVERYBODY)
