At a recent KACE webinar on security, we asked the attendees to answer a question about security.  We found out they are not feeling entirely secure as only 16% said they feel confident about the security measures they have in place for their organizations.  This is not surprising, considering that attacks are on the rise and increasing in the level of sophistication.

So what can you do to easily step up the security on your systems, particularly those that travel with important company information on them?  If you are already a KACE Kustomer, you can provide encryption protection with Dell Data Protection|Encryption (DDPE) using your KACE console.  Dell KACE and DDPE now work together to complement and reinforce systems management best practices and strong data protection.  The solutions work side-by-side to more easily enable you to manage the configuration of systems and applications, and protect the data on those systems.  Equally importantly they reduce the work of both enforcing policies and proving compliance by simplifying the deployment, configuration and auditing of systems and their security.  This allows you to save significant time over doing manual processes, and helps to ensure policies are enforced and the organization is in compliance.  Using a single set of tools, you can easily provide and demonstrate encryption across an organization, helping to ensure that devices are protected and the organization is compliant.

If you are not yet familar with DDPE, it delivers endpoint encryption to organizations with Dell and non-Dell notebooks, desktops, workstations and external media devices that enforces policies and provides auditing capabilities. 

Are you interested in learning how you can provide this extra security for your organization?  Please make plans to attend a live webinar event on May 24 at 10a, PT entitled:  New levels of security: The power to do more with Encrytion.  To register, click here.

There is not a dull moment in the life of an IT administrator – resetting the password for the executive that constantly forgets it, hand-holding the VP who never gets how to configure his remote access software, and remote rebooting the computer of the ever whining employee, all while fighting the fast spreading virus attack and protecting the IT infrastructure, handling the sudden burst of installation issues from the latest software deployment, and furiously working round the clock to keep the IT infrastructure functional! There is not much one can do to avoid most of these but there IS something that CAN be simplified – Application Management!

There are hundreds of applications with multiple versions each that the IT administrator has to keep track of and add to that the dozens of different platforms and OS versions that these applications need to be installed on – the permutations runs into obscenely large numbers. The proliferation of applications, releases, operating systems and patches and user roles can quickly become unmanageably complex! Thankfully there is application virtualization technology that can whip the bull and tame it.

Dell KACE now supports Microsoft App-V technology that enables IT organizations to transform traditional applications into a service oriented demand based virtualized infrastructure. Together KACE and App-V help IT organizations cut complexity and improve efficiency through application isolation, accelerated deployment, increased visibility, better control and improved end user productivity. With App-V support IT administrators can do App-V sequencing which is converting a traditional application into a virtualized application, as well as package, distribute and manage virtual applications.

Join us for a round-table of experts from KACE, Microsoft and the Big Hat Group for a 1 hour live informational webinar on May 10th at 10am PT to learn application virtualization best practices with KACE and App-V.

Most organizations understand that an agile and responsive IT infrastructure is critical for today’s business success in our global, highly networked economy. The basis of a flexible infrastructure begins with virtualization. While there is no doubt virtualized infrastructures are becoming the norm and the number of applications virtualized will double over the next few years, organizations needs to begin to look at their virtualization plans through a long term lens.

Join Dell KACE and VMware experts for a live web event, Thursday, April 19 at 10 a.m. PT, 12 p.m. CT.

• Get an in-depth look at setting up a virtual environment from VMware
• Determine what tools will best complement your virtual infrastructure
• Hear from a customer who virtualized 90% of their IT environment and how they did it.

Register for the Event

Make sure that your virtual infrastructure plan doesn’t go off track with poor setup or tools that don’t function as needed. Join us on Thursday, April 19 at 10 a.m. PT, 12 p.m. CT, to learn more.
