Earnings for 2Q have started rolling in, with IBM, AMD, and Intel all early reporters from the Data Center world. There's solid financial news for all three, but each with different industry-level impacts. Hosts Matt Kimball & Steve McDowell, both from Moor Insights & Strategy, talk about what it all means. Intel delivered solid numbers, but were punished by both guidance and disclosure of some execution problems in rolling out its next generation, 7nm, processors. Solid numbers for the quarter none-the-less, with a surprising bright spot in Intel's NSG memory group. AMD, who has become a solid competitor to Intel across nearly every segment, is firing on all cylindars, expecially in the DataCentric Server world. All while IBM seems to be finding its groove with freshman CEO Arvind Krishna, as IBM's Cloud and Red Hat businesses are standouts. IBM Z-series and Storage also remain particularly strong.

For almost nine in ten companies (and that's 84%), it's very vital to have data at the very core of their business strategy. Sadly, nearly half (43 percent) fail to consistently use data to guide business decisions. This is why being data-centric is so friggin' important! What's crazy is that so many people, teams, and organizations are calling themselves data-centric yet they aren't. They are simply pretending to be. Are you committing the sins of data-centric masquerading?

In this six-part series, “The Six Pillars of Security," we’ll explore how companies can stay agile and secure in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape. According to Gemalto's Breach Level Index 2016 Report, data breaches led to almost 1.4 billion data records being compromised worldwide during 2016, an increase of 86 percent over 2015. And Verizon's 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report found that in 93 percent of cases where data was stolen, systems were compromised in minutes or less. Organizations, meanwhile, took weeks or more to discover that a breach had even occurred — and it was typically customers or law enforcement that sounded the alarm, not their own security measures. Traditional prevention and detection methods are being bypassed, and many organizations either don’t know what to do, or don’t have the right resources in place to advance their security. To keep up with highly skilled and aggressive attackers, we need to move beyond the predictable patterns of network security and static defenses that our cyber adversaries are well-attuned to. Listen to the podcast to learn more. 10 Keys to Data-Centric Security - It is no longer enough to focus our efforts on networks and endpoints. As IT changes continue to occur, organizations need to keep pace and advance their security by focusing on the data itself through the development of a data-centric security program. 7 Key Elements of a Successful Encryption Strategy - It’s imperative to remember that your encryption program — and IT security in general — is a process, not a product. Effective encryption takes time; in addition to careful consideration of data states and encryption techniques, there are seven key elements that can help you build a successful end-to-end approach.
