We live in times where the single most important aspect that can make or break the future of any business is information security. While companies can recover from a poor sales quarter, a manufacturing defect, or a massive product recall, losing critical business or financial information can have devastating effects on their very existence. Naturally, as CIOs or business owners, you are always on the lookout for technological advancements that can help you to identify threats and protect your company from potential hacks and cyber threats.

In a dynamic, competitive, digital age, it is second nature for most professionals to keep abreast of trends and predictions in the IT applications as well as IT infrastructure space. The array of new technologies with a potential to alter lifestyles and challenge traditional business models has made it imperative for business leaders to study what lies ahead and evaluate how to be ready for it. Thanks to the creative destruction promised by cloud computing, CIOs and application leaders are also continually evolving their roles to meet the expectations of customers, partners and employees.
