The web and social media are great sources of information to provide us with business intelligence, and effective technology scouting or monitoring. This presentation outlines my vision of what business and technology intelligence is for me, how I do it every day, and the tools I used to know most of what is said in various industries.
This is the english translation of a presentation given to students of a colleague for his course "Management of Digital Information" at the University of Sherbrooke.
There is a growing trend of organisations moving to ‘the cloud’ to meet their intranet. While many organisations are running their Intranets ‘on the premises’, many are considering entirely cloud-based solutions such as Office 365. The question for many companies is: ‘should our intranet be built with Office 365?’.
In this session, Richard will explore:
The benefits Office 365 brings to an intranet
Where the issues and challenges will lie
When and how you may integrate Office 365 with your existing intranet today.

Office 365 and SharePoint are evolving fast. A few years ago many of us may have begun modernizing our SharePoint environments - planning an upgrade or a migration to SharePoint 2013 or even SharePoint Online. Since that time many things have changed in both SharePoint Server and Office 365, not to mention within our organizations. New services have been added, and many of those services are improving with each passing month. What approaches, strategies and rollout models are other organizations using? What can we learn from their successes?
Join us for this facilitated and interactive discussion where instead of just looking forward based on the industries most recent announcements, we look back into key changes that we all need to understand better. This discussion will be facilitated by Richard Harbridge, a Microsoft MVP, and internationally recognized expert on Office 365 and SharePoint. Together we will discuss what has changed in the past few years for developers, IT professionals, and SharePoint leads while exploring how organizations are leveraging these services in different ways today.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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.

I designed my first websites in '96 - '97, and I work in the field of digital communications full time since 2000
The identification of needs in my process, what does that mean?
I have to perform two types of sleep in my daily professional life, or in the exercise of my duties.
specific monitoring needs that I have to perform in connection with a project - VS - General requirements for my career and my professional knowledge
The evolution and complexity of the market in the field of digital communications have changed significantly since my beginnings and I constantly need to keep up.
Some background ... In 2000, a digital ecosystem may have consisted mainly of a website with only a few pages
You could find little information, and interaction with the user is mostly limited to the presence of calls to action prompting him to contact the business either by phone or through a simple information request form.
As most computers had pretty much the same resolution, websites mostly had a very rigid / static layout.
The context of use was about the same for everyone, a computer sitting in one room of the house.
Portables were not used much yet by the average consumer, mobile phones even less and had little added value from an information access point of view
A digital ecosystem is far more complex nowadays:
Website
Mobility Interactive Kiosks
Smart Spaces
Multichannel Approach
Websites are now available on a range of devices that each have very different characteristics and abilities.
People have access to information anywhere, at any time and context of use is different from one visit to another
The type of device used is constantly evolving, for example, Google Glass and augmented reality
Or watches and other connected objects with their tiny touch screens (when they have a screen at all)
and different types of access points available to us in the places we visit daily
It is therefore essential for me to stay in touch with latest trends if I want to remain efficient in field of work.
Always keep the "Garbage in, garbage out” principle in mind when it comes time to finding and selecting your sources of information:
the quality of your results depends on the quality of the entries.
One interesting idea is to creating a sandbox folder, ie sandbox. Whenever you find a new stream of information that seems worthwhile, place it in the sandbox for a month.
During this period, you should be able to determine the quality of the information collected, and if it is really worthwhile.
Poor quality information feeds accumulate quickly, and you end up wasting time marking these information item as read.
As the web exposes us to thousands of information sources of all kinds; managing this complexity becomes difficult.
It is sometimes difficult to discern what is relevant from what is not.
This is why it is essential to maximize the collection of useful information versus false or irrelevant data and to improve the signal / noise ratio in your process.
Which tool to use for which type of source
Settings, simplification, automation, etc.
Like me, your Twitter feed is probably flooded with information that has little or no interest pretty regularly.
Despite that…
Using filters: filter:links; filter:images; filter:verified; filter:news; filter:replies; filter:hashtag
TweetCaster: Filter options available directly in your feed
Flipboard: Uses an algorithm that only presents interesting and popular tweets rather than your entire thread
Hashtagify : Service that provides informational data on a hashtag, related hashtags, popularity of a given word, discovery of influential users, etc.
The information collection process is executed mainly by use of two research methods:
The pull method: where you periodically repeat the same research. Although this method allows the exclusion of irrelevant results immediately, the process can be slow and very time consuming.
The push method: information comes to you, via aggregators, alerts or specialized tools. This method saves time and lets you have some regularity in his your monitoring merely since we quickly evaluate information as it comes in.
The widespread use of RSS has revolutionized our methods of technology scouting by changing our relationship with information.
Instead of going to it, it is the information that comes to us.
In their efforts to develop Feedly into a full platform rather than just a product, an API has been made available to the community.
