To successfully align IT with business, IT leaders must have two primary goals: 1) Ensure business-critical services are available whenever needed and with the highest possible quality, and 2) Deliver IT services at optimal cost while appropriately managing risk. Achieving these goals requires IT’s emphasis be placed upon business availability, business quality, business cost optimization, and business risk reduction. It is absolutely imperative for IT leaders to start thinking, and planning, like business leaders. The ITIL V3 framework facilitates this idea, and Service Transition in particular provides the processes necessary to engage business thinking throughout all layers of IT activities.

New Chapter: Introduction to Terminal Services

Download the newest chapter from The Definitive Guide to Building a Windows Server 2008 Infrastructure!

One solution that brings together the power of client/server processing with the improved security, administration, and networking architectures of the mainframe days is Terminal Services. With Windows Server 2008, Terminal Services arrives as an installable Role that enables users to share the use of a server-class system in much the same way as in the old mainframe and terminal days. By installing applications and pointing users to the Terminal Server, users gain remote access to applications while administrators gain substantial management benefits.

Data loss prevention (DLP) is becoming a more common business practice as the demands for compliance increase and as awareness of how the lack of DLP strategies inhibits business operations.

Together, the three articles in this series describe the major fundamental issues in email centric data loss prevention and offer best practices for effective and efficient DLP management.

New Series: Modern Malware Threats and Countermeasures

Download the complete series!

Spyware, or its more correct term malware, is an ever-evolving beast of software development that today ties heavily into the desire for financial gain. Malware developers are no longer disgruntled kids writing scripts from the computer in their grandmother’s basement. Today, malware is big business, and with big business comes software sophistication. This Essentials Series discusses how the landscape of malware code has evolved to become a major underground industry. In three articles, it discusses the classes of malware you’re sure to see in the wild today, the behaviors being exhibited by the most intelligent of the bunch, and some of the ways modern tools are employing – or developing – to combat it.
