Is IoT at the edge? Is it the cloud? Is it the data center? Is it all of the above?

IoT presents a huge opportunity for partners to drive real value for their customers. It offers great potential to transform the way businesses operate, delivering invaluable data insights from objects which have been previously uncommunicative by connecting systems, refining and analysing the data and enabling businesses to make well informed, data-driven decisions.

In the world of cloud, it isn’t enough anymore to just be “secure.” Nextgen cloud security is the future of cloud security. But what does it mean to be “nextgen?" How does next nextgen cloud security work? Why is it important? Where do you get it from and how do you deploy it? Davitt Potter sits down with Arrow guests Nicole Schiro and Matt Rohan to answer all of these questions and more on this episode of Arrow Bandwidth.

Security has never been more important to businesses. Businesses are experiencing more frequent and intense attacks, with different motivations and using unpredictable, irregular methods. In addition, there have been huge advances in the use of digital services across every aspect of life. This presents partners with a huge opportunity to work with customers to protect their most valuable asset and position themselves as trusted partners.
