It’s the difference between doing thousands of tasks manually and having an automated system that helps you focus on business goals. The advent of big data and analytics helps to enable better real-time decision making, automation, and efficiencies necessary to deliver such digitalized applications. Cisco DNA automation and assurance are built on a software-defined networking (SDN) controller, rich contextual analytics, network virtualization and the cloud.
Intel® Ethernet Series Delivering Real-World Value. As computing and networking scale in performance, interconnect technologies play a critical role in ensuring systems reach their full potential in the speed at which they move data. Intel has been at the forefront of research and development into interconnect technologies since the dawn of the PC era. Today in the data center, Intel is working to deliver greater levels of intelligence within its connectivity solutions to overcome network bottlenecks and accelerate applications. Between PC and peripherals, Intel is heavily involved with the industry as it brings the latest technologies to market for the best user experiences. At the chip level, Intel is leading the industry in advanced packaging with technologies that connect chiplets and modules in order to deliver Moore’s Law advances, while also working to reduce latency between memory and CPU. From “Microns to Miles,” Intel’s investments in interconnect technologies are among the broadest in the industry.
The starting point for this project was a MapReduce application that processed log files produced by the support portal. This application was running on Hadoop with Ruby Wukong. At the time of the project start it was underperforming and did not show good scalability. This made the case for redesigning it using Spark with Scala and Java.
Initial review of the Ruby code revealed that it was using disk IO excessively, in order to communicate between MapReduce jobs. Each job was implemented as a separate script passing large data volumes through. Spark is more efficient in managing intermediate data passed between MapReduce jobs – not only it keeps it in memory whenever possible, it often eliminates the need for intermediate data at all. However, that alone not brought us much improvement since there were additional bottlenecks at data aggregation stages.
The application involved a global data ordering step, followed by several localized aggregation steps. This first global sort required significant data shuffle that was inefficient. Spark allowed us to partition the data and convert a single global sort into many local sorts, each running on a single node and not exchanging any data with other nodes. As a result, several data processing steps started to fit into node memory, which brought about a tenfold performance improvement.

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.
State of ICS and IoT Cyber Threat Landscape Report 2024 previewPrayukth K V
The IoT and OT threat landscape report has been prepared by the Threat Research Team at Sectrio using data from Sectrio, cyber threat intelligence farming facilities spread across over 85 cities around the world. In addition, Sectrio also runs AI-based advanced threat and payload engagement facilities that serve as sinks to attract and engage sophisticated threat actors, and newer malware including new variants and latent threats that are at an earlier stage of development.
The latest edition of the OT/ICS and IoT security Threat Landscape Report 2024 also covers:
State of global ICS asset and network exposure
Sectoral targets and attacks as well as the cost of ransom
Global APT activity, AI usage, actor and tactic profiles, and implications
Rise in volumes of AI-powered cyberattacks
Major cyber events in 2024
Malware and malicious payload trends
Cyberattack types and targets
Vulnerability exploit attempts on CVEs
Attacks on counties – USA
Expansion of bot farms – how, where, and why
In-depth analysis of the cyber threat landscape across North America, South America, Europe, APAC, and the Middle East

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).
