Nutanix channel leader Bob Wallace talks to CRN about new trainings and tools available for partners in 2018 as well as what the channel can expect as the company transitions into a pure software company.
Several Dell EMC and VMware data protection products have been discovered to contain critical flaws with the company urging customers to install patches.
In a security advisory issued Thursday night, Cisco says it is putting dozens of routers, switches and servers under the microscope to find out whether any of them may be affected by the Spectre or Meltdown exploits.
No known instances of malware exploiting have yet affected processors in PCs or servers in the field, according to Intel, but MSPs are still pushing to deploy their patches sooner rather than later.
The Microsoft patch for the Meltdown and Spectre microprocessor exploits wasn't compatible with several anti-virus products. This is how endpoint security vendors are confronting the issue and helping their customers get patched.
CRN looks at how the cloud, software-defined everything, IoT, GDPR and more will impact how channel partners interact with customers and their storage needs in 2018.
It's not the processors at fault, but the way attackers could potentially look at privileged information in memory that could cause issues, Intel said.
The side-channel analysis security issues, under which processors from Intel, AMD, and ARM could allow reading of privileged information by rogue applications, could impact Mac and iOS devices, but Apple has already mitigated some of those issues.
Spending on cloud services is growing three times faster than on infrastructure products for building both public and private clouds, according to Synergy Research.
Security researchers have discovered exploits that are being referred to as Spectre and Meltdown that chip giant Intel says impacts its own processors as well as those from AMD and ARM. Here are seven things you need to know about Spectre and Meltdown.
AWS, Google, and Microsoft revealed updates and patching plans for their popular cloud services in the wake of the Meltdown and Spectre chip-level vulnerabilities revealed this week. Solution providers say regular security patching can better protect customers from wide-reaching security threats.
With over 8.4 billion connected things in use worldwide last year, edge computing is becoming an even more vital part of any solution provider business.
Intel says it is 'rapidly issuing' updates for all types of Intel-based computer systems -- including personal computers and servers -- that render those systems 'immune' from the Spectre and Meltdown security exploits.
'This is a flaw at the architectural level,' says Michael Knight of Encore Technology Group. 'It doesn't matter what version of software you're running, or your operating system. Everything is equally vulnerable.'
