Standards let you agree with other supply chain partners on how to handle security. Such standards need to be effective and easy to implement. They should also be compatible, where possible. For example, the approach taken by the UK has been to enforce cargo checks at the point of origin, then prevent tampering at any
Security is extremely important for all businesses. Companies who do not take supply chain security seriously leave themselves vulnerable to potentially devastating attacks. Before we jump into the details, lets first define what supply chain security is. Supply chain security is a broad term that encompasses the efforts to reduce the risk of both external
Basics of Supply Chain Security Security has been an issue since supply chains began. Even the first camps and convoys had to deal with attackers and criminals. Theft, fraud, smuggling, sabotage, hijacking and piracy were all present. Today’s complex networks of storage and intermodal transport face these challenges too. Security is part of a bigger
WHY THIRD PARTY RISK MATTERS? BIG IMPACT Enterprises entrust the protection of their crown jewels—their customer data, their reputation, their finances, and their business availability—with third parties. Are they trustworthy? Why? Why not? What should be done about it? These questions are yours to answer and execute on. A breach of your third-party is a
Creating a risk mitigation strategy for a third-party organization can be a tedious task. The identification and mitigation of risks requires a well-established and automated risk management program. This program can be used for both internal applications and services, and external tools and services. Let’s examine an approach to identify, assess, and mitigate third-party risks:
There are three common key storage performance metrics for all environments: Latency, throughput (or bandwidth) and IOPS. Latency (also known as response time) describes the time taken to complete an I / O (input output) single operation and is basically a measure of how fast the storage system responds to reading and writing requests. Values
Storage performance is a measure of how well a storage device, especially a hard drive. This is measured by testing the drive and comparing its performance with standard metrics. The storage performance metrics help IT and IS administrators evaluate the effectiveness of their storage systems and their ability to support business organizations. Storage performance is
Before we investigate various types of database performance management tools, we need to differentiate between performance monitoring and performance management. Although they mean different things, it is easy to confuse them. In fact, performance monitoring is a performance management aspect, comprising these three broad components: Monitoring a database system to find problems as they occur.
Performance monitoring is important for the success of your business. This is primarily a procedure for cloud applications, but it can be done with some servers including web servers and databases. Performance monitoring can tell you if your server will have an accident or notify you if the user is experiencing slowness within a certain
