The flood even impacted businesses untouched by the water flow, as commuters struggled to make it to work. The role of business continuity planning Unfortunately, incidents such as the Kennington…

Cyber threat awareness is not limited to an obscure crowd of coding geeks—and hasn’t been for a long time. In fact, just earlier this year, U.S. intelligence director James Clapper announced that cyber attacks top the list of threats facing the U.S.[1] The sheer number of breaches reported is testimony to the fact that IT teams are struggling to detect and fight off attacks despite increased efforts to keep up with the rising scale and complexity of threats. It appears that no business – regardless of its size and resources – is immune. Why is it that many victims fail…

Big Data is firmly in the trough of disillusionment. It needs to be said:…
