Ransomware is at our doorstep. We cannot ignore it any longer or think we are not a target. In recent years at OneNeck, we have seen a significant upward trend of ransomware attacks. And even more troubling is in the last year, we have seen bad actors getting smarter, and they are now targeting your backup server and backup data to prevent you from recovering from the attack. As ZDNet stated, "The number of ransomware strains targeting NAS and backup storage devices is growing, with users ...

Many enterprises are amid a digital transformation, seeking to engage with customers and satisfy their needs through digital technologies. Many are looking up to the clouds to enable this agility, scalability, and simplicity—but no two models are created equal. And because businesses cannot afford to sacrifice control and security, going all-in on a public cloud only approach isn’t always feasible. To deliver on the promise of digital transformation, you need a unified infrastructure that ...

We’re living in a very strange and uncertain time - uncharted waters one could say. Sequestered in the relative safety of our homes, unsure of what next week or even tomorrow might bring, business must still go on. But while we may be working in isolation, it’s still people that power the modern business. And in any business, the team is paramount. It’s where creativity, collaboration, and solutions all come together within a group to exceed the sum of its parts.

Long ago, in a land far away, there used to be a network perimeter. Those were the good old days where the network perimeter was the all-encompassing traffic control point, and where traffic was all funneled through a single point, no matter where it came from. But the cloud changed everything by decentralizing the network, making the perimeter vaporize, and giving IT many a sleepless night.

Although containers aren’t new (been built into Linux for 10+ years and been available in FreeBSD, AIX and Solaris), containers seem to be all the rage, and for good reason. The agility containers can bring to an IT team alone make them appealing, but add in the security benefits that the self-contained nature of containers brings, they seem like a no brainer. But even with numerous benefits, there is also a lot of confusion about what they really are and what is the best-fit scenario. So, we ...

There’s no denying it – the wireless network is the primary way we connect to the digital world. In fact, it’s so big, that traffic from wireless and mobile devices will account for 71% of total IP traffic by 2022, according to Cisco's Forecast and Trends for 2017-2022. But behind that wireless network is a mesh of complex technology, which to the general layman can be quite confusing.

When it comes to moving to the cloud, businesses of all sizes are feeling the pressure. On one hand, the capabilities offered by the cloud are too good to ignore. If you don’t take advantage of the cloud’s flexibility and scalability—and its ability to support artificial intelligence, automation, real-time business analytics and more—you can bet that your competitors will. A Cloud Vision 2020 survey estimates that by the year 2020, 83% of the enterprise workload will be in the cloud—with almost ...

Credential stuffing is a type of cyber-attack where hackers take combinations of usernames and passwords leaked from other sites and use them to gain access to accounts on another site. F5 states that there’s typically a 1 to 2 percent success rate, which means that if a cybercriminal purchases 1 million stolen credential records (for sale on the dark web for fractions of a cent each), they can generally gain access to 10,000 to 20,000 accounts.

The importance of data in not only business but our day-to-day lives continues to grow – no one is arguing that. But the pace at which it’s growing is mind-blowing. In a recent study sponsored by Seagate Technology, IDC forecasted that the global data sphere will grow to 163ZB by 2025. Considering that today it’s 16.3ZB, that’s almost tenfold what it is today, making this prediction significant.
