June 2008
Welcome to the June edition of Enterprise Briefing.
This month we look at how the security industry is growing up. As sensitive data comes under increasing threat, enterprises are moving away from point solutions to a more holistic approach. We also look at how fixed-mobile convergence is increasing productivity and slashing corporate phone bills, and why business continuity plans are falling short of the mark.
We hope you enjoy the read.
