Thankfully, they all have one critical success factor in common: data. It is the fuel of digital transformation and without fast, always-on access to data, everything will stall. By everything, we mean all data-driven ambitions from the development of new models of service delivery that improve the quality of public ...

Security professionals understand that hackers hide lateral movement inside large volumes of east-west network traffic. Organizations need new tools and techniques to detect and prevent such activity.

In this paper, you will learn:

Though the scale and economics of the cloud are a boon for today’s enterprise, moving applications and data out of the data center into multi-cloud environments has greatly expanded threat surfaces, putting enterprises at greater risk of devastating ransomware attacks. This report will explore how to move beyond segmentation inside the data center and traditional next-gen firewalls at the perimeter and build a defense that meets the special demands of a multi-cloud environment. ...

90% of cloud runs on Linux. So, is it any wonder that malware is propagating in multi-cloud environments under the radar? Current countermeasures are focused on addressing Windows-based threats, leaving multi-cloud deployments vulnerable to attacks.

Based on research conducted by the VMware Threat Analysis Unit, this report uncovers the unique characteristics of remote access tools (RATs), ransomware, and cryptominers on Linux-based systems and how you can mitigate these threats. You will learn more about:

Existing characterization tech ...
