Big data is all the hype right now, but what most companies need is not big data but easy data. The truth is that most average-sized organizations do not even monitor the logs that the collect.

Local governments adopting two-factor authentication, but at what cost?
Posted by: admin 6 years, 6 months ago
I found this article on local governments deploying two-factor authentication to be sadly typical.

First, I want to say that I really, really support any application that adds support for two-factor authentication, especially if they do it right by using an open standard such as RADIUS. That's why I was excited to see RADIUS support in VMWare View 5.1. I decided to test it and add a tutorial to our growing collection.
