Security’s Nightmare: Negative Unemployment
/by Dr. Mike Lloyd, CTO, RedSealUnemployment is bad, so negative unemployment must be good, right? Um, no. (I’ll steal a line from Douglas Adams: “It’s unpleasantly like being drunk” … “What’s so unpleasant about being drunk?” … “Well, ask a glass of water.”) Security as an industry is short-staffed – critically so, and it’s getting worse.
This came into sharp […]
Calling in the security experts – your network engineers
/by Roberta Gray, Vice President Marketing RedSealI’ve talked about the need to consider your network as the key to improving cyber defenses. Here’s why.

How Does the Cloud and Mobility Change Things?
/by RedSealI remember sitting in a data center deep in an IBM facility in the early 1990s typing access control into a Proteon router that we had installed for our first commercial Internet link at that site. The controls were rudimentary, and severely limited access from outside. No one but I could access most of the […]
Testing the Policy
/by RedSealThe day was already hot with the humidity rising as I entered the data center for our third day of consulting. The NOC was state-of-the-art, dimly lit, with displays showing network status, weather, and news. This was the day we would see the results of testing the network policy for the first time. I knew […]
