Authentication is the beating heart of security. The most fundamental action in all of IT is to identify “who you are,” and authentication is the building block that answers that question. This is becoming even more critical given the recent coronavirus outbreak now that a large population of employees are forced to remotely access mission-critical applications.

Now more than ever, businesses and governments across industries—and particularly those in highly regulated spaces—must do everything they can to detect threats to their mission-critical corporate information and applications.

In this webcast, Rocket will discuss how leading businesses are:

• Deploying multi-factor authentication to stop hackers and protect their assets
• Using security analytics and cognitive computing to detect vulnerabilities and remediate exposures
• Supporting cloud and big data applications by extending their mainframe investments while complying with industry regulations and keeping costs down

Detecting threats can be complex, and failure to protect can result in vulnerabilities, audit failures, loss of reputation, security breaches and even total system shutdowns.

Measuring CPU consumption is a critical piece of both performance analysis and capacity planning.

Join Scott Chapman for a walk through the possible CPU measurements, conversion between those measurements, and when you might use each.
