~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHITE PAPER: CDW~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Defense in Depth Matures

Over the last few years, security risks have grown exponentially. Hackers,
attackers and a motley crew of cyber thieves have enlisted far more
sophisticated attack methods to put computers and entire networks at risk.
Security threats are growing and evolving.

No policy, no matter how well crafted, is immune from periodic review. Fall is
when our manager tackles that.

Thornton May: Caught between mobility's rock and hard place

The rock: Users want to use their smartphones for work. The hard place: Security
is deficient. All CIOs are caught between the two.

Darlene Storm: Secret TPP agreement, SOPA on steroids, may be the end of the Internet as we know it


Dirty deals done in secret behind closed doors could signal the end of the
Internet as we know it. If you hated SOPA, PIPA or ACTA, then you will despise
the stronger Trans-Pacific Partnership version. Analysis of the leaked TPP
Intellectual Property Rights chapter suggests it is a nightmare for netizens
fond of Internet freedom, but it is a dream come true for Hollywood, copyright
trolls and big Pharma.

DIGITAL SPOTLIGHT: SECURITY

In our in-depth report on security, we take a closer look at mobile security and
the tricky balancing act that comes when you want to give employees greater
access to data but also need to keep corporate information safe. Also, we look
at how companies are using new technologies to lock down their supply chains,
