There are several ways to counter ransomware attacks. To have security fully enmeshed in every part of the network is a start. A more targeted approach is to have an early warning system in place that reports back every suspicious event in the environment instantly. It should make no mistake, and send out just the right amount of alerts required to keep the environment safe, and not keep the teams busy all day long. It seems Commvault has a solid understanding of these key requirements of data security in the age of ransomware, and delivers to them through its line of solutions.

In this Tech Field Day Extra article from VMware Explore, Sulagna Saha discussed VMare’s NSX+ Network Detection and Response Service. Communication gaps between teams and a prevailing lack of context in security policies, further increase vulnerabilities within the system in the form of operational inefficiency and unaddressed threat vectors. Thanks to its correlating capability, NSX+ NDR can visibly reduce the alert overload. From the thousands of events it absorbs from IDPS and NAT solutions in the network, it prioritizes notifications based on relevance and category, and shares the results with the SIEM solutions. SOCs can export both atomic and campaign events to the SIEM solutions for threat investigation and troubleshooting. This not only makes scoping and hunting threats surprisingly simple, but also reduces the volume of alerts, improves accuracy and minimizes false positives.

In this Tech Field Day Extra article from VMware Explore, Sulagna Saha discusses how VMware delivers smart migration with HCX+. The biggest stumbling block that faces organizations’ multi-cloud aspirations is adoption complexity, a thing that is at the root of every new innovation, and hence, is inescapable. With solutions that help abstract away complexities and facilitate uptake, technologies like multi-cloud can enjoy greater adoption. HCX+ is, without a doubt, a key solution for companies trying to walk down the multi-cloud road, going from traditional datacenters to modern cloud platforms. It extends the legacy of HCX, enabling enterprises to cleanly lift and shift workloads to where they perform best, sans the usual troubles and crisis of migration.

In this Tech Field Day Extra article from VMware Explore, Sulagna Saha discusses VMware NXS+. There is one rule that is always safe to live by in IT – keep adapting to the changes, and right now, the biggest change happening is the transition to multi-cloud. VMware NSX+ with its latest features, opens up a direct ramp to multi-cloud free of complexities and inconsistencies. NSX+ bypasses the passive approach of meeting problems on the go which is limiting and frankly no-longer sufficient. To keep the digital transformation going uneventfully, supporting technologies need to evolve in advance to meet customers’ changing requirements, and VMware is champion for that. With NSX+, it provides a complete solution that gives organizations the tools, the strategy and ultimately, the skill to embrace multi-cloud in a clean and fuss-free way.

In the multi-cloud world we live in, data protection is more complex than ever. In this Gestalt IT Tech Talk recorded at VMware Explore US 2023, Stephen Foskett chats with Shiva Raja about how HYCU tackles the challenges of multi-cloud and offers broad protection for VMware resources on public cloud. HYCU offers a one-of-a-kind backup and data protection solution that allows users to backup, recover and migrate VMware workloads between cloud platforms, risk-free. Watch the full interview to learn more about HYCU.

Ransomware protection is one of the top priorities of organizations and Zerto has a new solution for it. In the Tech Talk recorded at VMware Explore US 2023, Tom Hollingsworth talks to David Aldrich about the newest additions on Zerto 10. Zerto 10 released in May of this year offering customers the power of real-time encryption detection for inspection of data inline and rapid recovery with Cyber Resilience Vault. With integration built into the solution, Zerto 10 can connect with a plethora of security solutions offering maximum protection and resilience against ransomware.

In this article, Sulagna Saha highlights the Tech Marketing side of things on the Tech Aunties Podcast from Angella McFarland and Field Day Delegate Gina Rosenthal.

In this exclusive article, Sulagna Saha discusses how open source projects have permeated every sector that paid applications have ever touched. This is underpinned by the rise of open source database systems like PostgreSQL. While a majority of the IT community is excited about PostgreSQL, few know how to tap into its potential. For them, EnterpriseDB offers a line of handy solutions that acts as the missing link, melding Oracle‘s capabilities with the convenience and practicality of PostgreSQL, all while giving customers the care and feeding they need to go open source.

In this article, Sulagna Saha brings to light Gina Rosenthal’s illuminating thoughts on how to make machines more intelligent with AI.

In this exclusive article, Sulagna Saha discusses AI EdgeLabs and their AI based solution to security to deploy at the edge. Touted the holy grail of real-time processing, the edge is poised to go big. But a myriad of remote and physical attacks is weakening its foundation, making decentralized computing a thing of the future. As enterprises put one foot before the other making footprints in the edge world, they need to bring their A game in security to mindfully circumvent the tinderbox. And for that, a solution like AI EdgeLabs is consequential.
