And with more and more companies becoming aware of the cloud&rsquo;s countless advantages and innovations, that percentage is rapidly increasing. Cloud computing and hybrid cloud solutions are increasing businesses&rsquo; scalability and mobility, drastically reducing costs and innovating their services. When controlled carefully, it can also be beneficial towards cybersecurity &ndash; safeguarding even the most sensitive and highly-regulated data.
 
But how do you ensure your cloud security is watertight? Along with high-cost savings, cloud computing also brings high risks and threats. Threats such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) and Man In the Middle attacks, loss of access, data loss, and web server vulnerabilities. And although most cloud providers do offer integrated security tools, it&rsquo;s crucial to put your own procedures in place when storing sensitive data. From educating personnel and regularly conducting audits and risk assessments to encrypting data in-house and implementing multiple layers of security, there are many ways of ensuring absolute security to increase network visibility and control. If you are thinking about migrating your data to the cloud, implementing a hybrid cloud solution &ndash; or if you&rsquo;re planning to adopt a more rigorous security system &ndash; be sure to consider the following processes&hellip;  Perform a Thorough Security Audit  Carefully assessing any potential security threats is an essential part of cloud maintenance. By conducting a careful security audit, you&rsquo;ll be able to identify any gaps between the cloud&rsquo;s security measures and your business&rsquo;s own Network Access Security Policy. There is a range of security features that need to be measured:    Management (centralised management for consistent security policy, vulnerability patching, security application updates and alerting)  Security Intelligence (emerging malware and threats to provide timely detection)  Compliance (internal and external compliance requirement)  Segmentation (segmentation of data, devices and users)  Threat Defence (ability to detect, prevent, eliminate or contain cyber threats)  Secure Services (access control, VPN, secure email, data-loss prevention)    Backup Data Locally  To stay on the safe side, it&rsquo;s a good idea to back-up your data locally, so that it&rsquo;s always accessible even if the original gets lost or corrupted. You can either do this manually, stored in an external storage device, or automatically using an additional cloud service. Before choosing a backup provider, it&rsquo;s important to research each service thoroughly, until you find one that&rsquo;s trustworthy, secure and fitting with your business&rsquo;s requirements.  Be sure to consider features such as encryption, scalability, automatic or scheduled backup, and file versioning. But remember, the features you require will be dependent on the nature of your data &ndash; file versioning (a tool that allows users to return to the previous version of a file) isn&rsquo;t recommended for data where updates are vital, while encryption tools are essential when backing-up sensitive data.  Encrypt Data Before It&rsquo;s Stored in the Cloud  Most major cloud service providers will encrypt your data both at-rest and in-transit. This means your content will be scrambled into an incoherent code &ndash; one that can only be deciphered by those with a decryption key &ndash; both when the data is moving into the cloud and when it&rsquo;s static. Although this encryption is mostly effective, it still doesn&rsquo;t guarantee absolute security, making it an ineffective way of handling sensitive data.  Just as the cloud service is responsible for scrambling your data, it&rsquo;s also responsible for holding the key that unlocks it. To ensure absolute security, it&rsquo;s important that the decryption key is only held by yourself as well as trained and trusted personnel. Encrypting data before it&rsquo;s transferred to the cloud is the most effective way to do this, by using an encryption tool that&rsquo;s external to your cloud provider.  Make Employees Aware of a Security Policy  Enforcing a strict cyber-security policy in place is essential in any business. It should be comprehensive enough to cover all aspects of cloud computing, encompassing everything from passwords and data location storage to incident response procedures. Make sure every member of staff has a full understanding of the policy, not just IT teams. After all, a small slip-up from one member of staff is all it takes for data to be hacked or leaked. Hosting regular cyber-security sessions are a good way to ensure that every employee is thoroughly aware of their security responsibilities. As well as explaining the policy in detail, be sure to highlight the effect that security breaches can have on the company, as this impact is likely to encourage staff to take security seriously.  Choose Exhaustive, Up-To-Date Security Tools  Most cloud service providers offer a range of security add-on tools, which allow users to scale their cloud security to the nature of their data. For example, those dealing with highly-regulated, sensitive data could use tools such as Data Classification and Secrets Management, while all users should consider firewalls and threat detection tools. When subscribing to a cloud service, be sure to research any additional security products that are offered with the service, until you find the tools that are best suited to your business.  Once your cloud is sufficiently safeguarded, it&rsquo;s imperative that these tools are regularly updated. Security software and appliances are constantly being improved to keep ahead of hackers &ndash; holes are regularly repaired, while any bugs are removed and fixed &ndash; so be sure to use the most recent version for absolute security.  Use a Managed Service Provider  Keeping the cloud secure requires constant management, monitoring, maintenance and updates. This can be especially time-consuming if you&rsquo;re in an industry that regularly handles sensitive data, as more security procedures are required. One option could be to assign an in-house team to cloud security management &ndash; however, this can be expensive, and an in-house team offers little flexibility for quiet periods where less data is being handled.  The most secure solution is to outsource your business&rsquo;s cloud management to a trusted managed service provider. This means that a third-party, qualified digital team would be responsible for all essential cloud security tasks, from monitoring through to incident response. Not only will this free-up your team&rsquo;s time to focus on business performance, its scalability means it&rsquo;s an extremely cost-effective solution.

I&rsquo;ve architected complex designs, technology road-maps and risk mitigation strategies, for some of the largest blue-chip companies in the world. More recently, I&rsquo;ve been responsible for managing and executing a company acquisition, as well as developing the associated earn out mechanics.  Background  Prior to life in the commercial world, I spent my time working for the armed forces in some of the most hostile places on earth. Whilst serving, I worked extensively with computer networks, as well as designing blast walls to absorb rocket energy. I also worked as a specialised military diver and spent half my life underwater searching for dead bodies and other unpleasant things. To let off steam I spent much of my time on the judo mat and in the boxing ring, and in fact, participating in any physical and mental challenge that presented itself.  Favourite quote  This quote really resonates with me, as I feel it represents one of our most powerful core values, integrity.    &ldquo;A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That\'s where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It\'s having backbone.&rdquo;  Robert Kiyosaki  Other interests  Now that my judo and boxing days are over, I still like to keep fit by running and attending the gym. Aside from this, I love fine wine and France, as well as spending time with my crazy boxer dogs and my very patient girlfriend. I also enjoy reading books on business strategy and pursuing further studies to broaden my knowledge in this weird and wonderful world.

Humans are irrational and inconsistent.&nbsp;Whether it be your employees, contractors, suppliers, customers, or prospects, your company security culture needs to include all of your stakeholders. After all, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.  With this in mind, here are 10 points to consider when thinking about your company&rsquo;s cyber-security hygiene:  1. IT security is often seen as a negative function, which can make employees&rsquo; lives more difficult and limit the amount of control they have over their own equipment. This mentality often leads to employees actively looking for ways to bypass security measures that are in pace.  2. Employees want to try a new productivity or work-related tool, so they should be able to get helpful advice and guidance from IT. Colleagues in IT should want employees to ask them questions and recommendations as that\'s how you can engage and educate them.  3.&nbsp;Staff should understand that protecting their home IT is just as important as protecting work IT in order to mitigate the risks of contagion via BYOD practices.&nbsp;&nbsp;  4. Informative posters should be displayed where appropriate and more formal training should be provided in order to teach staff how to protect themselves.  5. Social media platforms are used for both personal and business means; the line is blurred. This cross-over between personal and business can be unhealthy, and a divide needs to be created and maintained.  6. Acceptable use policies are a must to protect both the user and the company. Security knowledge should not be considered common sense, each department has their own items to learn. Creating an educational environment is just as important as incorporating a culture.  7. If you tell employees, they will forget. Show them how something works and they will remember. Involve them and they will understand. Take apart a phishing email and show them why it\'s dangerous. Just telling them that phishing emails are bad does not equip them sufficiently to identify or understand the risks involved. Running phishing assessments with instant feedback is a way of involving employees and teaching them.&nbsp;Cisco does this very well.  8. To capture someone\'s attention, you need to do it in six seconds&nbsp;according to a new&nbsp;study by comScore&nbsp;(2017). By using the AIDA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Action) psychology model can influence a positive change in employees. A change in attitude will change their behaviour which will change their actions.  9. Don&rsquo;t presume to dictate to employees. They know their job better than you. Open discussions and learning groups will engage them and better yet, may reveal anomalous events or behaviour previously unknown to the organisation.  10. A passphrase is a great password. A mixture of uppercase, lowercase, numbers and special characters will provide a strong but forgettable password. A memorable password is a passphrase that is engaging and connects on an emotional level. &ldquo;Unhappy rabbit black jack&rdquo; is a strong passphrase that is 25 characters long. The complexity of this passphrase can be increased by replacing vowels with numbers and by adding special characters. &ldquo;Unhappy rabbit black jack&rdquo; turns into &ldquo;Unh4ppy r4bb1t bl4ck j4ck!&rdquo;, a passphrase that is both highly remembered and complex enough to meet typical password requirements.  In summary, the human firewall needs to be understood in order for security measure to be effective. Utilisation of your most important asset in the fight against cyber-attacks (people, not technology, just in case you still haven&rsquo;t gotten our point) is the best defence for your company; you just need to figure out how to turn it on.&nbsp;                                                                                                                                                      Posted By                            Steven Forrest                                                         Share article                       Share article                                                                                                                     Are you ready to transform your business?

I&rsquo;ve architected complex designs, technology road-maps and risk mitigation strategies, for some of the largest blue-chip companies in the world. More recently, I&rsquo;ve been responsible for managing and executing a company acquisition, as well as developing the associated earn out mechanics.  Background  Prior to life in the commercial world, I spent my time working for the armed forces in some of the most hostile places on earth. Whilst serving, I worked extensively with computer networks, as well as designing blast walls to absorb rocket energy. I also worked as a specialised military diver and spent half my life underwater searching for dead bodies and other unpleasant things. To let off steam I spent much of my time on the judo mat and in the boxing ring, and in fact, participating in any physical and mental challenge that presented itself.  Favourite quote  This quote really resonates with me, as I feel it represents one of our most powerful core values, integrity.    &ldquo;A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That\'s where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It\'s having backbone.&rdquo;  Robert Kiyosaki  Other interests  Now that my judo and boxing days are over, I still like to keep fit by running and attending the gym. Aside from this, I love fine wine and France, as well as spending time with my crazy boxer dogs and my very patient girlfriend. I also enjoy reading books on business strategy and pursuing further studies to broaden my knowledge in this weird and wonderful world.

With Avaya&rsquo;s recent announcements and Chapter 11 status, shock vendor mergers and acquisition, and regular revelations about major security breaches, it&rsquo;s no surprise many organisations can feel uncertain and anxious. These trends are forcing business leaders to rethink their entire IT strategy, roadmap and partnerships for the short and long term, just to keep pace.  Maybe you fit into one (or more) of these scenarios:    You feel let down by your current provider and require unbiased expert advice.  You&rsquo;re struggling with a pieced-together, multi-vendor system, and don&rsquo;t know where to turn for assistance with integration or migration.  You&rsquo;ve worked with a vendor for a long time, but you&rsquo;re not confident in the company&rsquo;s longevity. Or it&rsquo;s not keeping up with what competitors have to offer.  You just did all that due diligence and homework. You wrote a hefty cheque. Now, suddenly, there&rsquo;s a change in your vendor&rsquo;s status.    If so, how can you mitigate the risks associated with technology investments?  It&rsquo;s not an overnight decision. You must figure out who you can trust with your unified communications, collaboration and customer care solutions. To figure this out requires asking a lot of questions &ndash; and getting the answers you need.  &ldquo;It&rsquo;s the work that happens before the decision that&rsquo;s key!&rdquo;  At Forfusion, our customers invite us in to draw on our considerable knowledge, capability and vendor agnostic approach to put in place a strategy that can ensure the correct choices are made both near and long term.&nbsp; By engaging a team capable of entirely designing and ratifying a vendor agnostic solution, as well as overseeing interdependencies between all other technology pillars, you can avoid the pitfalls.  An up-front process that involves:    Market analysis &ndash; examining the current standards, the challengers and leaders and what they offer.  GAP analysis - identifying discrepancies between your requirements and the vendor deliverables, including technology road-mapping.  Deployment analysis &ndash; considering on premise, hybrid and cloud deployment choices.  Risk mitigation &ndash; including risk definition between key design principles.  Business workshops &ndash; a series of workshops and interviews conducted across a range of disciplines to represent all users internally &amp; externally.&nbsp;  Analysis &ndash; that allows requirements to be easily understood.  Functional requirements &ndash; the outcome of these workshops leads to the development of business context.&nbsp;  Conceptual design &ndash; Are there areas of convergence, integration opportunities, reuse of technologies? What&rsquo;s been done to ensure solution compliance?    We help guide organisations of all sizes and sectors through this process. Here&rsquo;s what one of our most recent customers had to say:  So what next?  If any of the above resonates with you and your current situation, do you feel...    Burdened by risks from ageing technology infrastructure?  Worried about ineffective customer experience?  Isolated by poor collaboration between teams and customers?  Alarmed by spiralling total cost of ownership?  Concerned about conflicting reports on the status of Avaya?    If so, you should seriously consider contacting Forfusion. We&rsquo;re available to talk you through your concerns, help you come up with development plans, and mitigate risks as you move forward.

I&rsquo;ve architected complex designs, technology road-maps and risk mitigation strategies, for some of the largest blue-chip companies in the world. More recently, I&rsquo;ve been responsible for managing and executing a company acquisition, as well as developing the associated earn out mechanics.  Background  Prior to life in the commercial world, I spent my time working for the armed forces in some of the most hostile places on earth. Whilst serving, I worked extensively with computer networks, as well as designing blast walls to absorb rocket energy. I also worked as a specialised military diver and spent half my life underwater searching for dead bodies and other unpleasant things. To let off steam I spent much of my time on the judo mat and in the boxing ring, and in fact, participating in any physical and mental challenge that presented itself.  Favourite quote  This quote really resonates with me, as I feel it represents one of our most powerful core values, integrity.    &ldquo;A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That\'s where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It\'s having backbone.&rdquo;  Robert Kiyosaki  Other interests  Now that my judo and boxing days are over, I still like to keep fit by running and attending the gym. Aside from this, I love fine wine and France, as well as spending time with my crazy boxer dogs and my very patient girlfriend. I also enjoy reading books on business strategy and pursuing further studies to broaden my knowledge in this weird and wonderful world.

They are thus anxious about the threats and vulnerabilities that may be going undetected in their networks. And rightly so.  Attacks are growing in frequency, severity and sophistication. As our world becomes ever more connected, every business is becoming a digital business. There&rsquo;s no place for complacency or ignorance anymore.  It&rsquo;s grim up north  Alarmingly, Newcastle tops the national table for cyber security problems. Over 93% of businesses in Newcastle and surrounding areas have reported losses or breaches of data. These hacks usually stem from poor or outdated network security.  It pains these organisations when they find out these attacks could have been easily detected and prevented.  With regional stats like this, it was hardly surprising when Labour&rsquo;s Shadow Digital Minister and Newcastle MP, Chi Onwurah reported that she had been hacked a few months ago (despite being in charge of her party&rsquo;s policy on cyber-crime&hellip;).  The average cost of significant security breaches for small organisations is crushing, ranging from &pound;75,000 - &pound;311,000. For larger organisations it is even more so, a despairing &pound;1.46m - &pound;3.14m.  Such attacks are so painful because they prove catastrophic for not just profitability, but in some cases to long-term viability &ndash; trust from customers is hard to win, but easy to lose.  Executives need to take back control  Many business leaders feel overwhelmed by the scale of the risks posed by rapidly evolving cyber-security threats. &nbsp;  However boardrooms can, and must take back in control of an area traditionally seen as the remit of the IT department.  It is often difficult, but by no means impossible, for leaders to assess the extent to which their network may be vulnerable. &nbsp;  The problem is that organisations are unsure about what they should do to protect themselves, and more importantly, their customers. &nbsp;  It&rsquo;ll never happen to you, right?  To quote Cisco&rsquo;s former CEO and chairman, John Chambers:   &lsquo;There are two types of organisations: ones that have been hacked, and ones that don&rsquo;t know they&rsquo;ve been hacked.&rsquo;  Experienced and reputable business leaders are often embarrassed when they find out a network breach and data theft has occurred. Because they failed to detect vulnerabilities from within their own supply chain.  After all, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.&nbsp;&nbsp;   Where to start  Start by understanding your vulnerabilities. The most common of which are outdated software or OS, long-term passwords, BYOD threats. &nbsp;  However, threats are constantly evolving. You can soon fall behind the curve and find your network is no longer secure. We recommend that you begin by understanding what actually needs to be protected, understanding your particular threats and understanding&nbsp;your vulnerabilities.  This is why we&rsquo;re offering organisations a Comprehensive Threat Attack Report with the most intelligent, threat-centric equipment to date at no charge. It&rsquo;s time to take back control of your network - for good.

I&rsquo;ve architected complex designs, technology road-maps and risk mitigation strategies, for some of the largest blue-chip companies in the world. More recently, I&rsquo;ve been responsible for managing and executing a company acquisition, as well as developing the associated earn out mechanics.  Background  Prior to life in the commercial world, I spent my time working for the armed forces in some of the most hostile places on earth. Whilst serving, I worked extensively with computer networks, as well as designing blast walls to absorb rocket energy. I also worked as a specialised military diver and spent half my life underwater searching for dead bodies and other unpleasant things. To let off steam I spent much of my time on the judo mat and in the boxing ring, and in fact, participating in any physical and mental challenge that presented itself.  Favourite quote  This quote really resonates with me, as I feel it represents one of our most powerful core values, integrity.    &ldquo;A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That\'s where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It\'s having backbone.&rdquo;  Robert Kiyosaki  Other interests  Now that my judo and boxing days are over, I still like to keep fit by running and attending the gym. Aside from this, I love fine wine and France, as well as spending time with my crazy boxer dogs and my very patient girlfriend. I also enjoy reading books on business strategy and pursuing further studies to broaden my knowledge in this weird and wonderful world.

The report is bursting with the latest information on security threats and trends, as well as predicting what we can expect in the near future.  Over the coming weeks, our security experts here at Forfusion will be highlighting and analysing some of the valuable insight on the key areas in the report.  We&rsquo;ll delve in to some of the more technical aspects, whilst providing guidance on the solutions and technologies that can assist our customers in protecting themselves from the ever changing nature of cyber-crime.  I don&rsquo;t think there&rsquo;s any doubt that having a robust security posture is high (if not at the top) on the agenda of every business, big or small.  At Forfusion, we always examine both the technical and business reasons why our customers should (and even in some cases shouldn&rsquo;t) embark on any given IT solution or project.  So, putting technical intricacies aside for a moment, I thought it would be useful to look at some of the compelling reasons why adopting a flexible and robust security posture can be good for business.  Attacks are growing in frequency and severity   More UK businesses than ever are facing the threat of losing confidential information through cyber-attacks. The 2015 Information Security Breaches Survey found 90% of large businesses and 74% of small businesses experienced a cyber-security breach within the last year.  The average cost of significant security breaches for small organisations ranged from &pound;75,000-&pound;311,000. For large organisations the equivalent cost was &pound;1.46m-&pound;3.14m. Such attacks could prove catastrophic for the profitability, and perhaps more worryingly so, the overarching viability of any business.  Good posture = good business   Concerns over risk and cost too often prevail over recognising how effective security infrastructure and best practices can enable competitive advantage, a product differentiator, a brand asset, and a business opportunity.  Adopting the right approach to security requires bold and strategic thinking. By taking a business benefits orientated stance, most organisations can articulate the positive financial impact of mitigating cyber-risks, which in turn can empower business leaders (and help them sleep better at night!).  Good risk management requires a balance of understanding, investment and decision-making. As cyber-security threats rapidly evolve, it is often difficult for organisations to assess the extent to which they are vulnerable and what they should do to protect themselves.  For business leaders focused on the implications of cyber risks on their bottom line, affordable cyber protection that is appropriate to the scale of their business and reflects the reality of the risks they face, is essential.  Businesses should recognise that effective cyber security cannot be attained by simply deploying security products and solutions. It is not a firewall, IPS or multi-factor authentication service. It is a shift in corporate mind-set and can only be driven by leaders of the business.  Where to start   Start by understanding your vulnerabilities (outdated software or OS, long-term passwords, BYOD threats) and how mitigating actions can help your business&rsquo; operational and financial performance. We can help you with this.   Our approach to cyber security enables business leaders and board level executives to prioritise improvements to their own cyber security, based on their approach to risk.  Executives need to take back control   We put boardrooms back in control of an area traditionally seen as exclusively the remit of the IT department. This is a key shift: by articulating the financial benefits of addressing the cyber security risk, business leaders are able to take positive action, rather than focusing on the cost of addressing a theoretical risk.  We want to move on from headline grabbing scare stories to talk about the benefits of a robust security posture. In a world of ever evolving, sophisticated and pervasive cyber threats, managing your posture represents an opportunity to exploit a source of competitive advantage.  Embracing a robust security posture as a pillar of &lsquo;business as usual&rsquo; activity can be both a selling point to stakeholders and customers. You can directly improve your organisation&rsquo;s operational and financial performance by reducing elements such as risk contingent reserves and insurance policies.  Takeaways   Our experience has shown us that doing nothing is not an option. Through our strategic partnerships with leading vendors, Forfusion can help you equip your organisation to combat growing cyber threats at a cost and rigour appropriate to your organisation.  The constantly evolving threat environment is such that you can soon fall behind the curve and find you are no longer secure. We recommend that you begin by understanding what actually needs to be protected, understanding your particular threats and understanding your vulnerabilities.

I&rsquo;ve architected complex designs, technology road-maps and risk mitigation strategies, for some of the largest blue-chip companies in the world. More recently, I&rsquo;ve been responsible for managing and executing a company acquisition, as well as developing the associated earn out mechanics.  Background  Prior to life in the commercial world, I spent my time working for the armed forces in some of the most hostile places on earth. Whilst serving, I worked extensively with computer networks, as well as designing blast walls to absorb rocket energy. I also worked as a specialised military diver and spent half my life underwater searching for dead bodies and other unpleasant things. To let off steam I spent much of my time on the judo mat and in the boxing ring, and in fact, participating in any physical and mental challenge that presented itself.  Favourite quote  This quote really resonates with me, as I feel it represents one of our most powerful core values, integrity.    &ldquo;A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That\'s where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It\'s having backbone.&rdquo;  Robert Kiyosaki  Other interests  Now that my judo and boxing days are over, I still like to keep fit by running and attending the gym. Aside from this, I love fine wine and France, as well as spending time with my crazy boxer dogs and my very patient girlfriend. I also enjoy reading books on business strategy and pursuing further studies to broaden my knowledge in this weird and wonderful world.

From that opening statement, you can probably deduce I&rsquo;m a DSEI newbie! I knew there&rsquo;d be plenty of military hardware on display, but the sheer scale of this expo is impressive.  In amongst all the guns, bombs, tanks, warships, missiles, fighter jets and F1 cars (think Williams are going to declare war on Mercedes!), there is an area dedicated to communications and security.&nbsp;Whilst on a smaller scale to most of the other zones, there are many interesting products and technologies on display.  Modern conflicts can now no longer be fought just on the battlefield, cyber warfare and by association cyber security, now play major roles in prosecuting and preventing conflicts. Secure communications underpins all our military operations whether on home or foreign soil. The technologies which enable this are constantly evolving and adapting to new threats, to keep our forces safe and to ensure continuous operations.  I was interested to see some of the products our partners at Cisco were bringing to the show and viewed some really interesting demos. It&rsquo;s fascinating to see how the Internet of Everything (IoE) and the concept of Fog Computing is being adopted in specific solutions to support military operations.  The widespread adoption of IP based systems by forces around the world enables the adoption of many solutions, which once would have been the preserve of the private sector.  As if we hadn&rsquo;t already been overwhelmed by the Cloud, now we have the Fog! Fog Computing is a relatively new term and describes a distributed computing infrastructure in which some application services are handled at the network edge in a smart device and some application services are handled in a remote data centre e.g. in the cloud.  The goal of fogging is to improve efficiency and reduce the amount of data that needs to be transported to the cloud for data processing, analysis and storage. This is often done for efficiency reasons, but it may also be carried out for security and compliance reasons.  Cisco has developed a range of smart edge routing platforms, which enable multi-access (wired, wireless or LTE) in a ruggedised form factor, which also include on-board computing power to enable Fog processing.  When deployed in a metropolitan infrastructure these devices enable smart cities, by enabling services such as smart lighting, parking and traffic monitoring.  When deployed in a military environment such as a warship and linked to an IoE enabled communications fabric connecting ship borne sensors, with remote sensors on other platforms (helicopters, drones etc.), Fog Computing can ensure only critical information is passed to operators. This ensures systems don&rsquo;t become overwhelmed, and allows for&nbsp;faster tactical decision making.  Fog Computing has the potential to make all our lives better, there are environmental benefits from easing traffic congestion, and leading us directly to the next free parking space &ndash;and more importantly, in a combat situation, it will undoubtedly save lives.  My first day at DSEI has very definitely been an eye opener, and I&rsquo;ll close by highlighting why Forfusion has a presence there this year (through our partnership with NDI).

My role encompasses vendor and product alignment, engineering capability and strategic partner selection.  Industry experience  Since leaving the RAF in 2005, I&rsquo;ve worked for some of the largest SI&rsquo;s and technology vendors in the world. This afforded me a fascinating insight into how IT worked or rather didn&rsquo;t work, in some of the UK&rsquo;s largest commercial and public sector organisations. I specialised initially in network and security infrastructure, gaining a solid understanding of the importance of the network as an enabling platform for delivering world-class applications and collaboration services.  As the world moves towards the third&nbsp;Platform of IT; where mobility, cloud, big data and social platforms are going to play a huge part in shaping all of our futures, I try to ensure Forfusion&rsquo;s strategic partners are aligned on the same journey and have solutions to match our customers\' expectations.  Background  I developed a passion for technology during a 14-year career as an Electronics Engineer in the RAF, working on everything from valve driven amplifiers (yes valves!)  to the latest solid state, microprocessor powered radar systems. The RAF allowed me to experience first-hand how powerful today&rsquo;s modern integrated systems can be; at the heart of it all, digital computers providing critical real-time information to save lives and keep the nation secure.  Favourite quote    &ldquo;Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes. After that who cares? He&rsquo;s a mile away and you&rsquo;ve got his shoes.&rdquo;  Billy Connolly  One of my all-time heroes and so much more than a comedian. Now sadly suffering from Parkinson&rsquo;s disease I saw him live last year, and it was inspirational to see someone so clearly robbed of their on-stage physical exuberance, still able to elicit side-splitting laughter through his warmth, intelligence and wit.  Other interests  As a father of three, my leisure time is at somewhat of a premium. So, when not performing the role of chauffeur, butler, UN peacekeeper or cat herder, I like to try and keep fit either down the local gym or by playing football. I also enjoy the odd round of golf &ndash; only when the weather is good, mind. Finally, I find reading is a great way of relaxing, so I try and end the day with a few pages of John le Carre or Tom Clancy.
