computerworld.comAs enterprises push ahead with mobile-first strategies – and employee smartphones and tablets increasingly become business tools – the importance of mobile threat defense (MTD) is growing.Using mobile threat detection and defense, however, is no small task; the technology must cover applications, networks and device-level threats to iOS and Android phones and tablets to be effective."We talk about mobile threat defense, rather than detection – the reason being these solutions not only detect, but also can prevent and remediate threats," said Dionisio Zumerle, research director for mobile security at Gartner.[ Further reading: What is EMM? Enterprise Mobility Management explained ]The MTD market is growing in terms of adoption, and has started to attract attention from endpoint protection platform (EPP) vendors and in other related markets, according to a recent report from Gartner.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comDatabase admin pilot fish is working for this city government on a contract basis, telecommuting to do most of his work overseeing the SQL Server databases, with just occasional trips in to the office."I had an encounter with the storage area network admin regarding backups for the ERP database," says fish. "SQL Server DBAs tend to be paranoid and protective, and most of us prefer not to use third-party backup solutions and to stick with Microsoft's tool -- it's as close to 100 percent reliable as you can get, and we all know how to work with it."But the SAN admin wants to use Microsoft's enterprise backup tool, and he won't give fish access to the tool so fish can run tests and become confident in the tool's reliability for doing restores.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comWindows 10's rapid release machinery and short-lived support schemes showed some strain in 2017, as Microsoft reduced the number of annual feature upgrades and felt enough pressure to extend the lifespan of a 2015 version well into next year.But the radical release-and-support strategy, which Microsoft asserts has transformed Windows into a service, has not resonated with every customer. Windows 10 upgrades come too frequently, leaving too little time for adequate compatibility testing of critical applications. Support is too fleeting, with each upgrade maintained for just 18 months, theoretically requiring seven migrations during the same timespan when previously only one was necessary.To read this article in full, please click here...

computerworld.comI’m not vouching for Microsoft, mind you, but if the latest official assertion about the Surface Book 2 battery is true, it’s a game changer.Since the dawn of Surface time, there’s been no way to have a battery replaced: Your only option was to swap out the entire unit, an expensive proposition. A recent post by a Microsoft employee on the official Microsoft Answers Forum raises a glimmer of hope that batteries in the Surface Book 2 can be replaced.Surface owners have complained about short-lived batteries and their expensive replacements going all the way back to the original Surface and Surface Pro.

computerworld.comAh, the holidays. A time for relaxing, enjoying oversized meals, and making semi-annual phone calls to relatives you don't really like.Hey, I'm not here to judge. I just thought our upcoming Thanksgiving weekend and soon-to-follow Festivus season seemed like a perfect time to talk about an easily overlooked option that's waiting to be embraced (in a totally platonic and consensual manner, of course): the ability to turn any old phone into an active call-making device connected to your current number, courtesy of Google.Why bother? Good question, Gilbert. I think the real question, though, is: Why not? If you've got an old phone sitting around and growing crusty, this'll give it a genuinely practical new purpose.
