Computer Weekly – 16 August 2016: Barriers to UK datacentre expansion

A TechUK survey has found that the UK tech sector’s confidence of growth over the next two years has dropped by 23 points, due to Brexit. In this week’s issue, we look at how Asian investors are pulling out of datacentre investments. According to datacentre analyst Broadgroup, these investors have been quite spooked by the Brexit vote.

We also look at how posh liqueurs company, Rémy Cointreau, is improving help desk efficiency and saving costs by implementing a new identity service from Centrify.

Also inside:

  • Mimecast’s CIO and vice-president of digital operations, Grant Hodgkinson, discusses the importance of electronic communication in the modern business environment and why email is still so heavily used.
  • Predictive analytics can give marketing campaigns a head start, but business stakeholders may need convincing.
  • IT leaders explain what enterprises can do to accelerate the spread of DevOps in their organisations.
  • With passwords long regarded as the weak link in the security chain, Computer Weekly considers some viable authentication auxiliaries and alternatives to keep business and customer data safe.

  • Email security: Never more important

    Email security remains as important as ever, with the majority of cyber-attacks, including ransomware attacks, still being launched through email using a combination of social engineering, phishing, malicious links and weaponised email attachments.

    Email remains the easiest and most effective channel of attack with the number of emails being sent on a daily basis expected to surpass 293 billion by the end of 2019. Despite this, email is the weakest link in most organisations’ security strategies, with many failing to address vulnerabilities in popular email platforms such as Office 365.

    With the reliance on email and associated threats likely to continue to grow, businesses need to address this threat with a combination of security awareness training and automated tools to reduce the likelihood of infection and speed up the detection of and response to email borne threats. Underlining the importance of email security, it is a core component of the UK National Cyber Security Centre’s Active Cyber Defence (ACD) initiative.
