Computer Weekly – 19 June 2012: How to succeed at desktop virtualisation
In this week’s Computer Weekly, our latest Buyer's Guide examines the tools, technologies and best practices for success in desktop virtualisation.

We look at how universities are dealing with their IT challenges as they await the first intake of students at new higher tuition fees.

Your expert guide to the highlights of Infosecurity Europe 2017
Security technologist Bruce Schneier’s insights and warnings around the regulation of IoT security and forensic cyber psychologist Mary Aiken’s comments around the tensions between encryption and state security were the top highlights of the keynote presentations at Infosecurity Europe 2017 in London.
Other highlights included Europol advisor and Trend Micro research head Rik Ferguson’s prediction that WannaCry could lead to the decline and even demise of ransomware due to its poor implementation and its role in underlining the importance of defending against this threat, and the ICO’s Peter Brown setting out where UK organisations ought to be in terms of planning for the GDPR with less than a year to go before the compliance deadline.
