Connecta Event: Big Query och dataanalys med Google Cloud PlatformConnectaDigital
Avancerad dataanalys och ”big data” har under de senaste åren klättrat på trendlistorna och är nu ett av de mest prioriterade områdena i utvecklingen av nya tjänster och produkter för ledarföretag i det digitala landskapet.
Informationen som byggs upp i systemen när kundmötena digitaliseras har visat sig vara guld värt. Här finns allt vi behöver veta för att göra våra affärer mer effektiva.
Sedan sommaren 2013 har Connecta tillsammans med Google ett etablerat samarbete för att hjälpa våra kunder med övergången till moln-tjänster för bland annat avancerad dataanalys. För att göra oss själva redo att hjälpa våra kunder har vi under ett antal år utvecklat såväl kunskaper som skaffat oss erfarenheter kring Googles olika moln-produkter, som exempelvis ”Big Query”.
Big Query är ett molnbaserat analysverktyg och en del av Google Cloud Platform. Big Query gör det möjligt att ställa snabba frågor mot enorma dataset på bara någon sekund. Big Query och Google Cloud Platform erbjuder färdiga lösningar för att sätta upp och underhålla en infrastruktur som med enkla medel gör allt detta möjligt.
På Connecta Digital Consultings tredje event för våren introducerade vi våra kunder och partners i koncepten dataanalys och Big Query.
Under eventet berördes följande punkter:
- Big Data och Business Intelligence (BI)
- “The Google Big Data tools” – framgångsfaktorer och hur man kommer igång
- Google Cloud Platform och hur man genomför en framgångsrik molnsatsning
Vi presenterade case och berättade om viktiga lärdomar vi dragit i samarbetet med Google och våra kunder.
Software Defined IT @ Evento SOIEL Roma 6 Aprile 2017Riccardo Romani
Oracle espone il concetto del "virtuous circle" del nostro integrated cloud : noi per primi mettiamo in pratica la value proposition dei sistemi ingegnerizzati per costruire i nostri cloud datacenters, oltre che i datacenter dei nostri clienti. Da questa contaminazione, nasce innovazione a valore che si puo' concretizzare con il lancio di nuovi rivoluzionari sistemi come Oracle Clodu Machine o con una ulteriore evoluzione di nostri sistemi flagship come Exadata o la Private Cloud Appliance, che di fatto costituiscono l'offerta Application Software Defined IT.
As government agencies continue to advance their digital transformation and improve the citizen digital experience, they are moving to new platforms. A successful digital transformation, and continued compliance with federal technology update mandates, such as Cloud First and the Modernizing Government Technology Act, involves embracing multiple cloud platforms. This has a ripple effect of streamlining agency operations and presenting a new and updated digital experience for citizens.
Our government agency speaker will outline how one agency moved operations to the cloud and the lessons they learned along the way.
During today’s webcast, you will learn:
- How cloud platforms can help improve the citizen digital experience
- How to architect a multi-cloud platform that makes sense for your agency
- Lessons learned by other government agencies and from private sector companies

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
