The public cloud, often referred to as the cloud, is a popular model of cloud computing. Cloud service providers leverage the internet and make resources such as infrastructure, storage, and servers available for businesses. Third-party providers own and operate the shared physical hardware and offer it to companies based on their needs. This multi-tenant environment makes it easier to spread the infrastructure costs across a number of users. Companies around the globe are adopting the cloud to take advantage of core characteristics: Cost effectiveness. By using cloud infrastructure, customers do not need to spend large amounts of money on purchasing and maintaining equipment. This drastically reduces capital expenditure (CapEx) costs, saving companies the resources and time to invest in hardware, facilities, and utilities, or to build out a large data center to grow their business.

While email phishing attacks are highly successful, they are also entirely avoidable. Email Isolation provides organizations with the means they need to protect against this common threat without damaging the end user’s experience.

Networking and security teams have historically relied on protections at the network perimeter to secure the entire enterprise. The internal network was deemed trusted and secure. While everything outside was considered “dirty,” everything on the internal network was considered “clean,” and application traffic would flow unrestricted. However, recent and developing shifts in enterprise working models are having a far-reaching effect on the traditionally managed network perimeter for security. The following trends are making organizations reassess their approach to security:

Synchronization in carrier networks has been in use forever, but because of its elevated role in 5G, it is now getting more attention. Mobile cellular networks must be synchronized so that towers (base stations) with overlapping coverage do not interfere with each other causing dropped calls or service degradation. The NodeBs used in Third Generation (3G) cellular communications rely on satellite communications for synchronization, as do the Baseband Units (BBUs) used in Fourth Generation (4G) cellular communications.
