Virtual Strategy Magazine Article On Security Breaches And Their Impact On Small Businesses
The title of this one ended up a bit more FUDy than I’d prefer, but the content’s mostly what I provided. With the rise of SMB-friendly backup solutions like CrashPlan, Carbonite, Mozy, and Backblaze, small businesses will choose to back up their systems with alternatives to expensive tape libraries, software to drive those libraries, and countless hours spent restoring files. As more cloud-based security attacks happen, businesses will realize that having a solid backup is one of the most important aspects to device security.

My Predictions For How The Cloud Is Leveraged By Small Businesses In 2016
I published an article with VMblog.com with my (and Bushel’s) predictions for how small businesses will leverage the cloud in 2016. In today’s increasingly mobile world, more and more small businesses are taking advantage of the cloud, as 72 percent indicate they use mobile apps in their business, with roughly 38 percent reporting they could not survive – or it would be a major challenge to survive- without mobile apps, says a recent survey report. Given this trend, here’s a look at what cloud-connected small and medium-sized businesses can expect in the year ahead: Read the predictions here…

16 Apple Security Advances To Take Note Of in 2016
My latest Huffington Post piece is up. Apple has long been known for providing an exceptional user experience. But many might not realize that over the past few years, they’ve been pushing the infosec envelope, by making advanced security options accessible to everyday users. While not all of these features are new in El Capitan, here are 16 features that Apple has built into OS X that every user has simple access to: Read more on Apple’s Security Tech at: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/charles-edge/16-apple-security-advances-to-take-note-of-in-2016_b_8789456.html And if you’d like to know more in depth information about Apple security, check out my latest book on Apple Security in the Enterprise on Amazon!

Blueprints and Bushel
Bushel shipping a new feature this week call Blueprints. Blueprints are similar to groups, and allow you to assign different options in Bushel to different devices that have a blueprint assigned to them. This also allows you to define one device per blueprint and therefore have different options for different computers. Pretty cool on a few different fronts. And it provides a lot of flexibility for some really, really cool new features we’ve planned for the product. For more on this great new feature, check out this great article from the new Bushel Product Manager, Michael Devins.

My First Huffington Post Article On Switch To The Apple Platform
My first article on the Huffington Post is up on HuffPost here. I feel very lucky to have gotten to meet Arianna years ago when I did tech work for her company, publishing, and at her home. She’s a very special lady and, while it’s been a long time, I still recall a few very cool and sometimes odd conversations. She’s not connected to this, but I’m proud to be involved with anything she’s involved with. And, oddly there’s parity: we’ve both written 15 books. Not even remotely oddly, she’s sold far more than I have. I hope this is the first of many articles, helping with tech and Apple and…
