Getting started on protecting data at rest - Why is protecting data at rest suddenly an issue?
For any company, looking inward at the state of its data security can be an eye-opening experience. Many organizations find that they are vulnerable in ways they had never even considered. In many instances, an organization is not even cognizant, to any degree of specificity, of where sensitive information resides within the network and who has access to it.
AppGate and Kerberos - The AppGate Security Server working together with Kerberos.
Kerberos is used in Windows domains and is the default authentication method. It is sometimes very useful to have the Appgate server seen as just another internal resource on the domain so that client machines already logged on to the domain can use it just as they might an email server. Kerberos authentication lets a client machine, which is already logged into the domain log into an Appgate Security Server using their existing Kerberos ticket. Policy on the Appgate server might then allow the client machine to selectively see through the Appgate to some protected resources on a different network.

The Essentials Series - Managing Compliance in Business Today
In today's world, there is hardly anything that is not regulated in business. The governance and oversight of sensitive information stored, processed, or otherwise handled in a business setting is no exception. It used to be that best practices and best effort were thought to be enough. They really were not, but they were still the accepted norm. We now have compliance to deal with. Regulation after regulation from both government entities and industry bodies affect literally every organisation both large and small. And compliance with these regulations is not optional.
