LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Over the past couple of weeks, you might have noticed some changes. You asked for simpler access to content and ways to share content via your favorite channels - LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and more.

We've started by giving our blog a fresh new look and making it simple to comment and share experiences. We're also now offering slides from our Winter Webinar series on SlideShare for download without registration. Currently the decks from the January and February webinars are available.

In addition to weekly blog posts, our technical experts are hard at work on a couple of new white papers and primers. Help us prioritize the topics we plan to cover and share how you want to hear about new content by participating in this quick anonymous poll (less than a minute or two at the most to complete, I promise!).

We hope you enjoy this edition of Peeks which focuses on Wireless Network Management. We'll be featuring Application Performance in our next edition (scheduled to hit inboxes in May), so be sure to add us to your approved senders list.

Sincerely,
Eden Signature
Eden Hensley
Director of Marketing Communication

WIRELESS ESSENTIALS PACK

Why Payloads are important 40 percent of employees currently use unsupported mobile devices within the workplace, according to a bi-annual security research survey conducted by Cisco (Source: Cisco White Paper, October 2010, (PDF)). Additionally, of the organizations surveyed, 53 percent indicated that they were likely to allow personal devices on the network this year.

What does this mean for you? Simple, your network is changing. It's no longer - if it ever was - a carefully planned and deployed infrastructure. It's a growing, living organism with a mind of its own. With personal mobile devices coming onto your network, it's more likely you'll face security issues, stemming from the use of default security settings. Get ready today with our Wireless Essentials Pack; we've included in this pack helpful videos and some of our critical wireless plug-ins to help you keep your wireless network under control.
