CyberKnight becomes Clearswift distributor
Exponential growth of data volume is
dramatically increasing opportunities for
theft, data leaks and accidental disclosure
of sensitive information. According to
Gartner, “By 2021, 90% of organisations will
implement at least one form of integrated
data loss prevention (DLP), an increase from
50% today”. In addition, recent Gartner
research concludes that organisations
continue to struggle with DLP deployments
and complexities.
CyberKnight has announced a new
partnership with Clearswift, a HelpSystems
company, to further help organisations
secure critical information. The Adaptive
Data Loss Prevention Platform (A-DLP) by
Clearswift is designed to automatically apply
optimal security treatment based on data
content, context and required regulation
policy. This includes real time redaction,

“Confidential data, whether corporate or
customer-related, can be leaked from almost
any computing device today, including
physical and virtual servers, databases, end
user equipment, flash storage devices and
mobile devices. Through the partnership
with Clearswift, we make critical information
protection practical for regional customers
that are faced with limited IT resources
and encounter more complex cyberthreats
and compliance regulations,” commented

NetApp to acquire Spot
NetApp, a leader in cloud data services, has
announced it has entered into a definitive
agreement to acquire Spot, a leader in compute
management and cost optimisation on the public
clouds, to establish leadership in Application
Driven Infrastructure.
Digital Transformation initiatives have accelerated
and remain the top business priority, especially in
today’s environment, and the public clouds offer the
speed and flexibility needed to navigate this new
normal as companies find new ways to work, interact
and do business. However, unoptimised clouds can be
costly and slow down the business transformation.
To address this challenge, an Application Driven
Infrastructure translates the application’s workload
patterns and drives the best possible level of performance and cost
for storage and compute, all done while maintaining the contracted
service-level agreement (SLA) and service-level objective (SLO).
Together, NetApp and Spot’s Application Driven Infrastructure for
continuous optimisation will help customers save up to 90% of their
compute and storage cloud expenses, which typically make up 70% of
total cloud spending and will help accelerate public cloud adoption.
Anthony Lye, Senior Vice President and General Manager,
Public Cloud Services, NetApp, said: “The combination of NetApp’s
leading shared storage platform for block, file and object and Spot’s
compute platform will deliver a leading solution for the continuous
optimisation of cost for all workloads, both cloud-native and legacy.
Optimised customers are happy customers and happy customers
deploy more to the public clouds.”
