Log management is an often overlooked function of any IT organization. On one hand it is a very simple thing, however when implemented, you may find yourself overwhelmed in a plethora of details and related problems and can inevitably lead many to just drop the implementation – with the thought – we may not need it, everything is working on its own.

In addition to a great stash of valuable information, visibility, capabilities for additional alerting, predictions, forensic and behavior analysis, log management is one of the areas of control for multiple compliance and regulatory frameworks.

Relevance to Laws and Regulations: There are multiple compliance regulations related to log management. It is the law to log and review.

• “What are you doing to remain competitive in a market dominated by a few 800 pound gorillas? Are you specializing? Will there continue to be opportunities for mid-market providers? How do you see your business model evolving?”
• “Is a national scale needed today? How are you building out your ecosystem? What are your growth strategies? Where do you see untapped opportunities? What do you look for in a partner?” 
• “How are end-user needs/expectations evolving? How are you meeting these? What does it take to stand out from the crowd in Cloud services marketing, sales and delivery today?”
• “Cyber security and risk management: How are you protecting your clients’ data? How are you managing these costs? What is the future of security in the Cloud?”

This panel was a big success! Great Job Mike!

Digital Edge’s Security Team is monitoring the situation with TeamViewer hacking allegations. The news broke last week – some TeamViewer users complained that intruders gained access to their computers through TeamViewer program. 
TeamViewer denied any hacking allegations but shortly following, its service was knocked off by a DDoS attack aiming DNS services, leaving more questions to TeamViewer’s Security Team. 

1. Even though the situation is still not clear, the Digital Edge Security Team sides with security expects blaming a BackDoor Trojan discovered in May of 2016. The signature for the Trojan was added on 05/26/2016. The version of Trojan -  BackDoor.TeamViewer.49 utilizes TeamViewer as its backdoor implementation and is delivered by Trojan.MulDrop6.39120 through Adobe vulnerability. Even though the Trojan is supposed to hide the TeamViewer interface and use its functions in the background, we believe that mutation of the virus (the virus uses advanced hiding techniques) can create an unpredicted effect on the systems with legitimately installed TeamViewer causing effect described by users that reported the compromise. 

Please click here for more details. 

As a result, we do believe that it is safe to use TeamViewer, unless your system does not have updated antivirus and does not have all latest patches installed. By saying that, the Digital Edge team urges to cautiously use this product, as there is no confirmation from TeamViewer’s Security Team or reputable security companies that our analysis is correct

2. Digital Edge security team has contacted all clients using TeamViewer and discussed preventive measures. 

3. If you are using TeamViewer please click here to see our advice how to verify that your TeamViewer was not hacked.

Are we done with the cloud revolution? Is the crusade against hardware over? Was getting rid of the hardware from our closets the final goal? Right, the cloud movement started with the goal to free up IT departments from the subject that is universally hated –  hardware related headaches, from renewals, end of lives, end of supports, those sticky VARs, capital investment, to the constant feeling that when you invest capital into your new hardware that you are losing 10-20% of your money’s value right away. This feeling is comparable to the notion of buying a new car and driving out of the dealership – the car is now not worth that same as when you signed the contract, minutes before.
