		<description><![CDATA[Today, IT departments are receiving an increasing number of requests to support more mobile devices from a broader range of manufacturers than ever before. In fact, yesterday's New York Times <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/23/technology/workers-own-cellphones-and-ipads-find-a-role-at-the-office.html?pagewanted=1&#38;_r=1&#38;hpw" target="_blank">took a good look</a> at companies that embrace BYOD (bring your own device). The gist is that today's employee wants to leverage these mobile devices to improve their productivity. Based on resources, corporate security concerns and data protection, traditionally this has been at odds with IT departments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s no secret that network threats have grown significantly over the past several years – in number, as well as complexity.  This growth continues to place an overwhelming burden on IT resources, who have to combat these threats on a daily basis.  These guys already have a rough job, just keeping up with the sheer volume and variety of threats … but also making them go through multiple hoops and internal approvals to procure and piece together the solution from different vendors is enough to push a lot of folks over the proverbial edge!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Virtualization provides extraordinary benefits to organizations of all sizes. By moving multiple workloads into one physical server, companies have been able to optimize the usage of their data center infrastructure, minimize procurement and operational costs, and increase the overall efficiency of their operations. The growing number of organizations migrating mission-critical workloads to virtual environments has created a critical need to evolve infrastructure security to include these hybrid environments.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[OK, so we all know that mobility has become an absolute necessity in business. How many of us can honestly say that we could last even a day without our smart phone or tablet? We check our email, run enterprise apps, access the ERP, and conduct a host of other activities that require secure VPN access. But just like anything else, there’s a big difference between what we want and what we can (or should) have! After all, enterprise strength mobility requires enterprise strength security – something that’s been sorely lacking in all but a few mobile devices.]]></description>
