The Infor EMEA System i User Survey 2013
By Inforsystemi on Jun 12, 2013
Infor’s EMEA System i Survey 2013 was carried out during March and April 2013 with over a thousand manager or higher decision-makers invited to participate and over a hundred responses collected.
Due to a small minority of end-users maintaining old System i applications purely for archive purposes, and to ensure the survey is representative of businesses running their mission-critical applications on IBM i, only those still running their mission-critical applications on the platform, were included in the results.
Only 6.5% of IBM i platform end-users disagree with the statement, ‘we believe our System i platform is future-proof.’ Moreover, when asked whether their business system is ‘very reliable’, not one of the respondents running their mission-critical business systems on System i disagreed. 92% concurred and the remaining 7.7% were ‘neutral’.
The survey results also support the widely-held belief that System i applications can be deployed faster and maintained with fewer staff. When asked whether total cost of ownership of their system compares well with alternatives, only 5.5% disagreed.

2011 SMB Disaster Preparedness Global SurveySymantec
Symantec’s 2011 SMB Disaster Preparedness Survey measured the attitudes and practices of small- and mid-sized businesses (SMBs) and their customers toward disaster preparedness. The survey findings show that though SMBs are at risk, they are still not making disaster preparedness a priority until they experience a disaster or data loss. The data also reveals that the cost of not being prepared is high, putting an SMB at risk of going out of business.

Data is the lifeblood of every organization yet many either fail to backup their data or they are not doing so properly. Losing data can be catastrophic for a business. This white paper explains why backups are important and the challenges they face.
In a survey of U.S. technology and healthcare executives nationwide, Silicon Valley Bank found that companies believe cyber attacks are a serious threat to both their data and their business continuity.
Highlights
- 98% are maintaining or increasing resources devoted to cyber security
- 50% are increasing their cyber security resources, preparing for when, not if, cyber attacks occur
- Just 35% are completely or very confident in the security of their company information, and only 16% feel the same about their business partners

5 common misconceptions about Disaster Recovery demystified | SysforeSysfore Technologies
An organization’s data is recognized as the most vital asset. Companies who do not understand the importance of data backup and recovery are less likely to survive in the modern economy. According to a recent study, an hour of downtime can cost a small business around $8,000. Despite this, companies fail to invest in Disaster Recovery.Without having a proper contingency plan, companies run the risk of incurring high monetary and non-monetary losses like outages, downtime, loss of data, low employee morale, loss of reputation, and lower revenues. Read about some of the common misconceptions about Disaster Recovery.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

3. Key Findings Despite warnings, most SMBs still not prepared for disaster SMBs are at risk SMBs don’t act until it’s too late Not being prepared can have a big negative financial impact 3
5. SMBs still not taking disaster preparedness seriously 52% don’t have a plan 12% have no plans to create a plan 40% intend to create a plan in the future 5
6. Why they don’t have a plan 44% don’t think computer systems are critical to business 38% say it never occurred to them 28% say DP not a priority 22% lack skills/qualified personnel 14% lack resources 6
8. SMBs are at risk 65% live in regions susceptible to natural disasters The typical SMB surveyed experienced 5 outages last year Top reasons for downtime: Cyberattacks Power outages Upgrades Employee error 8
9. SMB Information is not protected Backups are inconsistent Half (51%) only backup 60% of data Less than half (45%) back up data weekly or more frequently Only 21% back up daily Backups are incomplete—key data not always backed up 32% don’t back up email 19% don’t back up application data 15% don’t back up customer data Disaster would cause information loss 45% would lose at least 40% of their data 9
11. SMBs don’t act until it’s too late Half of SMBs implemented a plan due to an outage and/or data loss 54% of SMBs with a plan only implemented it within the last six months Only 28% have tested a recovery plan 11
12. 12 Not being prepared can have a big negative financial impact
13. Not being prepared can have a negative impact Outages are expensive: $14,500 per day It could put an SMB temporarily out of business—52% of SMB customers have had a mission-critical SMB vendor temporarily shut down due to a disaster Customers will suffer financially SMB outages cost SMB customers $45,000 per day 24% of SMB customers lost “some” or “a lot of” data as a result of disasters impacting their SMB vendors Customers will leave 59% of customers have switched SMB vendors due to unreliable computing systems 13
15. Recommendations Don’t wait until it’s too late to create a plan Protect your information completely Get employees involved Test frequently Review your plan 15
