Do you need a Chief Data Officer?
The C-suite is getting a little more crowded these days. Pull up a chair for the Chief Data Officer, and it might be next to the CISO.
Mobile medicine
With 10,000 outpatients and 1,300 doctors passing through its doors daily, Dr Sulaiman Al Habib Hospital Medical Group has a whole host of complex and vital applications, which require high quality Internet. Realising it was falling short in terms of mobility, the Group opted for a fresh Wi-Fi solution to power its hospital information system.

Pre-integrated OSS-BSS
Pre-integrated OSS and BSS is said to be crucial for telecom operators to achieve agility and flexibility as they roll out next-generation networks and introduce multi-media services. We look at the value of OSS/BSS in-a-box and what should be considered before making the leap to these solutions.

Zulfikar Ramzan, CTO, RSA Security, discusses how organisations should change their mind-sets to adapt to the evolving threat landscape and the value-add security can bring to businesses.
Flipping the economics of attacks
How much does it cost technically proficient adversaries to conduct successful attacks, and how much do they earn? The research study from Ponemon Institute, commissioned by Palo Alto Networks, looks at the relationships between the time spend and compensation of today’s adversaries and how organisations can thwart attacks.
Inside job
These days, the threat landscape for most companies is massive. But while there is a litany of outside threats that their security teams need to worry about, there is often an even greater danger much closer to home.
