Tim Brown stories

{"introduction": "

Tim Brown is a prolific writer with a keen interest in technology and cybersecurity. He covers a broad range of topics, from cutting-edge infrastructure developments to innovative security strategies designed to counter modern threats.

One of his recent pieces highlights the deployment of a new submarine fibre optic cable to Waiheke Island by Chorus, a move that promises to enhance the island's internet and data capacities significantly.

In another article, Brown delves into the importance of layered security, stressing that making it difficult for cybercriminals to physically infiltrate systems should be the initial step in any robust security strategy.

Brown also reports on corporate developments within the tech industry, such as SolarWinds' appointment of three new executives to improve customer experience, security, and product innovation, as well as the appointment of Mike Prieto as SolarWinds' regional director for ANZ to oversee strategic growth in the region.

Additionally, he explores the challenges posed by multicloud environments and non-collaborative teams on security and operations, based on insights from an IDC report.

Finally, Brown advocates for a paradigm shift in security. He argues that as remote work becomes more prevalent, companies must transition from focusing solely on endpoints to securing their actual users instead.
