How secure are you?


elcome to the July/August issue of PCR which focuses on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Security. This latter seems particularly appropriate just now as the CrowdStrike scenario is


playing out. I can’t help but think that, if one inadvertent mistake is causing this much global chaos, how much worse would it be if someone managed something similar, but with malicious intent? Surely, people must be wondering how to make their own systems more robust.


Within these pages, Andrius Palionis at Oxylabs discusses the proxies at the frontlines of


defending against cyber threats. David Higgins of CyberArk looks at tackling the compliance landscape through identity security and Angus Shaw, CTO of EMEA at Brigantia reveals why DMARC matters now.


Daniel Hurel from Westcon-Comstor explains the challenges and opportunities around the


EU’s updated cybersecurity framework, Mostyn Thomas of Pax8 explores the basics of MSP cybersecurity and Greg Clarke at QBS Software discusses how collaboration is key for cybersecurity technology selection.


Meanwhile Markus Nispel of Extreme Networks asks how secure the internet of things is,


while Ruby Whipp from mpro5 reveals the top IoT use cases transforming the retail industry and Gavin Miller of Asurion Europe tracks the journey to digital dependency.


This month’s interviews include Ann Keefe of Kingston Technology explaining why ISSN: 1742-8440 Copyright 2024
