EMC Acquires RSA
On June 29, EMC reached a definitive agreement to acquire RSA Security for an eye-popping $2.1B. As part of the merger, RSA will become the Information Security Division within EMC – a signal that EMC is serious about building a business around data security and management. EMC’s Analyst Day in New York on June 7th was a harbinger of this move.
Key Confusion
It is hard to pick up a newspaper these days without reading about another high profile data security breach, whether it is the loss of a laptop or a tape. Stored data is finding its way outside the corporate perimeter and into the hands of malicious individuals. The implication is clear - data is now mobile. No longer can IT assume that important data is only stored within the confines of the glass house.

Siafu
Small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) share the same needs as the enterprise for storage security. But lacking enterprise storage budgets and specialized IT staff, they have far fewer options open to them. Regardless, SMBs are facing the same compliance pressures that have bedeviled the enterprise.
The Growing Importance of Storage Security & Key Management - Market Profile
It is hard to pick up a newspaper these days without reading about another high profile data security breach, whether it is the loss of a laptop or a tape. Stored data is finding its way outside the corporate perimeter and into the hands of malicious individuals. The implication is clear - data is now mobile. No longer can IT assume that important data is only stored within the confines of the glass house. It is shared with business partners, replicated to multiple data centers, and copied onto different media types that may ultimately be transferred to a 3rd party.
Priming the Storage Security Pump - Technology Brief
The storage security market is at an inflection point similar to the inflection point that disaster recovery and business continuance technologies went through earlier this decade. In the case of disaster recovery, the events of 9/11 coupled with natural disaster such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita underscored the importance of and need for serious disaster recovery planning and business continuance technologies.

EVault from i365 – Lab Validating EVault Endpoint Protection
In this Taneja Group Technology Validation exercise, we put an endpoint protection solution – EVault Endpoint Protection, a solution from i365, a Seagate company – to the test. Could the recently released, completely hosted (on top of the elastic Microsoft Windows Azure cloud) EVault Endpoint Protection suite be as quick to deploy and easy to use as i365 claims? To find out, we put the suite through the paces at a remote site – in essence simulating exactly what an EVault customer would see and do when they sign up for this cloud service. What did we find? Our conclusion is that it is easier and faster to protect the business with EVault Endpoint Protection than with anything else we’ve seen.

CLOUD SECURITY CONTINUES TO RAISE QUESTIONS
Since its beginning, cloud computing has often been recognized as a paradox, giving businesses the ability to enhance mobility, agility and overall productivity at the cost of inherently weakened IT security capabilities. While this isn't necessarily always the case with the cloud, it is widely perceived that without additional protection, mission-critical applications and data in the virtual environments are more susceptible to exposure.
