Technology and Business Growth! - What Companies Need To KnowBrian Bluff
CIPH Winnipeg and Edmonton Industry Dinner - Speaker Brian Bluff:
The tools and processes needed to run a prospering and profitable business have changed and our work and personal lives are busier than ever. Brochures, phonebooks, and paper planners have been replaced with websites, search engines, and apps. Further, the development of strong and enduring relationships and networking opportunities can now be accomplished online through social media.
Certainly, technology offers many solutions to reduce cost and improve efficiency. But which solutions are right for you? Where do you start?
Topics Cover in this session include:
• What efficiencies do we need most,
• Email tips to save time,
• Apps to organize your life, and
• Using technology to increase sales and improve efficiency.
When it comes to Nonprofit IT trends, 2013 was a year filled with exciting opportunities for organizations to move their IT infrastructure to the cloud. There was a shift away from hosting email in-house to hosting it in Google Apps and Office 365. For file sharing, many nonprofits started using Dropbox for Business, Box and Egnyte.
Johan Hammerstrom, COO, and Matthew Eshleman, CTO, talked about IT opportunities and challenges nonprofits faced in 2013. Here are some of the questions they addressed during the webinar.
- Who were the tech winners and losers from 2013?
- How did the evolving world of devices—desktops, laptops, tablets and mobiles—affect nonprofits?
- How were organizations able to save money in terms of their IT infrastructure?
- What were some of the challenges they faced in terms of IT security and backups?
- What do these trends portend for 2014?
Enterprise Open Source Intelligence GatheringTom Eston
Presented at the Ohio Information Security Summit, October 30, 2009.
What does the Internet say about your company? Do you know what is being posted by your employees, customers, or your competition? We all know information or intelligence gathering is one of the most important phases of a penetration test. However, gathering information and intelligence about your own company is even more valuable and can help an organization proactively determine the information that may damage your brand, reputation and help mitigate leakage of confidential information.
This presentation will cover what the risks are to an organization regarding publicly available open source intelligence. How can your enterprise put an open source intelligence gathering program in place without additional resources or money. What free tools are available for gathering intelligence including how to find your company information on social networks and how metadata can expose potential vulnerabilities about your company and applications. Next, we will explore how to get information you may not want posted about your company removed and how sensitive metadata information you may not be aware of can be removed or limited. Finally, we will discuss how to build a Internet posting policy for your company and why this is more important then ever.

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.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
