Securing Edge Data at the Center

Even as enterprises focus relentlessly on consolidation of data centers, they
continue to aggressively expand the roles and numbers of branch offices, often
located in remote locations that are difficult to support and protect. That
poses the issue of how to protect data on the edge of the network, which may be
subject to a variety of risks.

Jaikumar Vijayan: If he is smart, Edward Snowden will shut up


Edward Snowden needs to shut up for his own good and for those who support his
actions. Seems like every time the self-confessed document leaker opens his

going after him with everything its got. And that's a problem because it
detracts from the importance of his revelations.
