Cybersecurity – Software Defined Networking – IoT / Edge Computing – UC&C – Mobility – 5GDigital transformation has changed the world and it’s all about the data! How to collect, protect and utilize these data will separate the future leaders from the laggards in ways the past couldn’t have predicted. As IoT and Edge Computing technologies are enabling the gathering of vast amounts of valuable data, the pending adoption of 5G will make Information Security more important than ever. Businesses that successfully leverage AI and big data to understand consumer and group behavior will be rewarded and those that couple with 5G speeds will dominate. With 5G technologies comes the obligation of steadfast data security practices. Although “change” in a computing environment is the antithesis of “information security” they are both absolutely necessary. Protect, digitize and innovate or be vanquished.Information SecurityIncident Response & Cyber ForensicsThreat Intelligence SolutionsAdvanced Threat Analytics and DetectionSecurity Advisory ServicesNetwork Security Monitoring & Management ServicesSecure Gateway ServicesMobile & IoT SecurityVerizon Risk ReportNetworkManaged Network ServicesVirtual Network ServicesApplication Defined NetworkingApplication EnablementNetwork Professional ServicesEdge SolutionsInternet of ThingsTelematicsAsset Tracking & ManagementIoT Security CredentialingSmart CitiesMobilityNext Gen NetworkingMobile Business SolutionsEnterprise Mobility Management & SecurityWireless DevicesWorkforce ProductivityCustomer Experience ServicesCloud Contact CenterManaged Services & Edge ServicesCustomer EngagementDigital CXContact Center & CX Professional ServicesTransport & Intelligent RoutingBusiness CommunicationsUnified Communications & CollaborationEnterprise Mobility Management & SecurityBusiness Communications Professional Services*Opinions expressed here are my own.
