~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WHITE PAPER: F5 Networks~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Architecting the Network of the Future

Today, both IT and the business are requiring more of their networks. But
networks designed to simply forward packets don't have the capability or the
intelligence to understand today's high-level, application-related demands.
Networks need to change, as does the way IT thinks about and manages them.

The New Enterprise Workflow

The greater the number computing devices we use, the more the center of our
computing life shifts to the cloud. The last thing anyone wants is for data and
preferences to be locked in a smartphone, tablet, or desktop.

IDG Contributor Network: Insider Threats – the myth of the black swan

Most companies think of insider threats as 'black swan' events – highly visible,
but extremely rare and hard-to-predict. If a threat is such a rare event, after
taking some precautions, should companies really care and act upon the insider
threat?

As business becomes more connected and as data moves further outside the
organizational walls, the supply chain has become a critical chink in the
security armor. This paper examines the insecurity of the small businesses in
the supply chain and offers tips to close those backdoors into the enterprise.
