Looking for a new career opportunity

Antonio Ieranò 07/19/2013 Editorials

Dear All, As you may know I’m looking for a new career opportunity. Many of you knows me because we have been working together in Europe or USA in one of my previous work experiences, including Cisco, Ironport, Symantec, BrightMail, Mondadori Informatica and so on, or met in conferences and events. With over 16 years of experience in the leadership of IT product development, project management, marketing, and representation and as a reputable and renowned contributor to the tech industry particularly within the security community, I think I have often provided outstanding results and proved my soft and technical skills, but the situation now force…

Is Big C missing the point on security?

Antonio Ieranò 07/23/2012 AI Tech Update, Editorials, Editorials in English, My Best Articles, Tech Update in English

Big company are really suited for security? This is what comes to my mind when we see what Cisco, HP and Co. do when we talk about security. Are they really able to focus on the innovation and development that security require? I can talk about what I know so i will express my mixed feeling about Cisco and Security. For long times Cisco has not been perceived as a big player in the security space, beside the fact PIXASA is the most sold firewall in the world. But honestly we should not only consider the magnitude of the numbers but also why and how companies buy a product. Alas…

I have met great people there, starting form my adventure in Ironport with the crazy gang: First Domenico and Patrice, then Angelo and…

Surviving Tips:Performance e DNS

Antonio Ieranò 12/05/2008 Aggiornamenti tecnici in Italiano, AI Tech Update

Tra le cose piu spesso trascurate per quello che riguarda security e prestazioni, vi e’ sempre la struttura DNS. I DNS sono un elemento fondamentale per garantire prestazioni sia per quello che concerne il trasferimento delle mail sia per quello che concerne la navigazione Web. Anche utilizzando un SMTP Gateway o un Proxy non si puo’ prescidere dalle performance di un buon servizio di DNS.
