iPads storm the Boardroom

33% of FTSE100 use the Diligent Boardbooks secure iPad app

You could say that 2012 was the year that the iPad got serious. Originally intended as a fun device for consumers, the iPad has grown up and entered the highest echelons of business, including the boardroom. UK tablet sales to corporate buyers outstripped those to consumers in 2012, climbing from 35% of all purchases in Q2 last year to 64% in the same period this year. And iPad sales accounted for 72% of those tablets, up from 56% a year earlier.

Version 9.2 with application filter: gateprotect next-generation firewall available with immediate effect

Hamburg: gateprotect AG Germany is now offering Version 9.2 of its next-generation firewall solution with an extended set of features.

The Hamburg-based specialist in IT security now offers its customers a sustainable solution to cope with changing conditions and future challenges in IT security and data protection, along with its usual reliable performance, security and stability.

This upgrade is gateprotect's response to the fact that these days companies must follow an entirely different approach to managing security risks in IT networks.
