Harnessing the necessary high performance compute power to drive modern biomedical research is a formidable and familiar challenge throughout the life sciences. Modern research-enabling technologies – Next Generation Sequencing (NGS), for example – generate huge datasets that must be processed. Key applications such as genome assembly, genome annotation and molecular modeling can be data-intensive, compute
Clearswift commissioned Loudhouse to conduct research to identify the extent to which internal security threats are affecting UK organisations and, in turn, how these are being managed. Companies now rely on increasing numbers of third parties, sharing sensitive information across increasingly global and diverse networks of connections – this extended enterprise is effectively blurring the
