Networks on best behaviour when ResponseWatch is aroundResponseWatch gives network managers and others with responsibility for administration, support, convergence and security, the insight into network responsiveness they need, to make informed decisions.
Crannog Software, the fast-rising vendor of network optimisation software, today announced a major upgrade to its ResponseWatch network performance monitoring application with the release of version 1.5.
“The network can be a bit of a black box, where you don’t really know what the response times are, either in and out of the network, or for intra-network traffic. ResponseWatch allows us to measure and report on that effectively. So much of what thePlatform does is tied to SLAs, where our customers have certain expectations and ResponseWatch also allows us to be pro-active instead of reactive, where we can start trending.” Rob Sherrard – Senior Network Architect, thePlatform.com

Organizations Ignoring Main Culprit in Information Security Breaches, New CompTIA Research RevealsOrganizations are doing little to address the most serious threat to their information security and technology infrastructure, according to new research released today by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA).
Human error was responsible for nearly 60 percent of information security breaches experienced by organizations over the last year, according to the fourth annual CompTIA study on information security and the workforce. That figure is significantly higher than one year ago, when 47 percent of security breaches were blamed on human error alone.
