Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the twenty-first century where data is the new currency. And like any type of currency, there are thieves who prey on the vulnerable, waiting to exploit the perfect opportunity to rob them blind. Dangerous dark alleyways and parking lots have now evolved and moved into the deepest recesses of the […]

It seems that almost daily I see more and more news surrounding hybrid cloud infrastructure—having IT reside both on-premises and outside of one’s own four walls simultaneously—the new cool that has taken the business world by storm.
