Dati, dati, dati, ovunque, su tutto e tutti. I dati sono il nuovo Capitale, ma rappresentano in molti casi il nostro essere, la nostra identità, una parte importante del nostro privato. Per questi motivi, tra gli altri, l’Unione Europea ha voluto ed emanato un Nuovo Regolamento Generale per la Protezione Dati (GDPR), per aiutarci a conoscere i nostri diritti sulla questione ed aiutare coloro che questi dati trattano a farlo nella maniera giusta. E trattarli significa anche proteggerli da violazioni, che possono avvenire dall’esterno, ma anche dall’interno della organizzazione che di questi dati è titolare e responsabile del trattamento. Vieni ad informarti durante questo webinar, attraverso il racconto di casi d’uso ed esperienze concrete di suoi clienti, come Oracle mette a disposizione tecnologie e soluzioni, che permettono di proteggere efficacemente i loro dati e soddisfare molti requisiti contenuti nel GDPR UE.

I dati sono il nuovo Capitale: come il capitale finanziario, sono una risorsa che deve essere gestita, raccolta e tenuta al sicuro, ma deve essere anche investita dalle organizzazioni che vogliono ottenere vantaggio competitivo. I dati non sono una risorsa nuova, ma soltanto oggi per la prima volta sono disponbili in abbondanza assieme alle tecnologie necessarie per massimizzarne il ritorno. Esattamente come l'elettricità fu una curiosità da laboratorio per molto tempo, finché non venne resa disponibile alle masse e dunque cambiò totalmente il volto dell'industria moderna.Ecco perché per accelerare il cambiamento è necessario un approccio innovativo alla esecuzione delle iniziative orientate ai Big Data: un laboratorio analitico come catalizzatore dell'innovazione (Data Lab).In questo webinar sulle tecnologie Oracle, utilizzeremo il consueto approccio del racconto basato su casi d’uso ed esperienze concrete.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

The virtually unlimited storage capacity and geo-redundancy make Azure the ideal location for your critical data assets.
With 99 years of retention (could actually be more but typical backup schedules would result in 99), Azure meets or exceeds even the most demanding regulatory and business requirements.
Tape is an unreliable medium and restoring from tape takes hours or even days to have the physical tape delivered to your datacenter.
Tape is expensive to manage and maintain, while cloud backup is seamlessly integrated into Azure Backup and DPM with no need for any physical intervention.
In a report dated 2/2014, Gartner showed that in many scenarios cloud-backup actually costs less than tape.
