- Key elements in developing a mobile strategy include utilizing a single mobile infrastructure that supports multiple devices and applications, avoiding multiple point solutions, and fully utilizing existing SAP processes and data.
- The mobile strategy should consider mobilizing common business functions like sales, service, marketing, and inventory as well as future mobility needs.
- The strategy must allow for applications to be deployed across various hardware platforms like BlackBerry, iPhone/iPad, Windows Mobile, Android, and Windows laptops.
- Introducing middleware risks not fully utilizing SAP as the master system and existing skills/infrastructure. The mobile strategy should select a mobile enterprise application platform (MEAP) to support future needs across devices.
Mobile devices can boost productivity and competitive advantage, but your enterprise-IT organization must support new mobile strategies, while complying with government regulations and maintaining security. See how you can implement robust security features in your existing apps with SAP Mobile App Protection by Mocana.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

Chris Bolin, Senior Intelligent Automation Architect Anika Systems
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?
zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...Alex Pruden
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

In the realm of cybersecurity, offensive security practices act as a critical shield. By simulating real-world attacks in a controlled environment, these techniques expose vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them. This proactive approach allows manufacturers to identify and fix weaknesses, significantly enhancing system security.
This presentation delves into the development of a system designed to mimic Galileo's Open Service signal using software-defined radio (SDR) technology. We'll begin with a foundational overview of both Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and the intricacies of digital signal processing.
The presentation culminates in a live demonstration. We'll showcase the manipulation of Galileo's Open Service pilot signal, simulating an attack on various software and hardware systems. This practical demonstration serves to highlight the potential consequences of unaddressed vulnerabilities, emphasizing the importance of offensive security practices in safeguarding critical infrastructure.

There is an enormous amount of activity in this sector, as mobile application uptake by enterprises grows at an ever increasing rate. To help sift through the noise, Sky Technologies has developed this whitepaper to assist executives in the development of their mobile strategy.<br />In producing this paper, Sky Technologies has drawn on more than 10 years of experience in mobilizing business. Through this time, Sky has witnessed the evolution of enterprise mobility from the “nice-to-have” to the “must-have” productivity improvement initiative that we see today.<br />This whitepaper aims to outline key points that must be considered when developing a mobile strategy, thereby assisting those executives that are considering extending their business systems to the perimeter of their organization using mobile devices. In this document you will find several references to SAP. Sky has several years of experience in mobilizing SAP and has drawn on this experience during the development of this paper.<br />What is a Mobile Strategy?<br />Put quite simply, your enterprise mobile strategy is a roadmap that will govern your mobile application deployments over the coming years. It will encompass a variety of aspects including hardware, networks, security, office productivity (such as email) and enterprise applications. For users of SAP software, this becomes a very strategic decision given the role that SAP plays in “integrating” the enterprise. Clients of SAP have invested time and money to implement a back office suite that is fully integrated and provides them with a platform to run and grow their business. Mobilizing this functionality enables field based workers to harness the power of back office solutions without having to return to the office. <br />Summary - Key elements in developing a mobile strategy<br />If you are developing a mobile strategy then you must consider the following:<br />Utilize a single mobile infrastructure that supports multiple types of devices and applications. Gartner defines such products as a MEAP (Mobile Enterprise Application Platform). The deployment of a MEAP is driven by the following business requirements.<br />Different areas of your business will require different device types. However a single application MUST be deployable to multiple device types to ensure a low total cost of ownership (TCO).<br />Avoid multiple point solutions that will require different infrastructure.<br />Ensure all mobile applications, data and devices are managed in a single consistent manner. <br />Fully utilize your existing SAP processes and data models.<br />Utilize the same SAP business processes, data, IT skills, DRP, change management and security in which you have already invested.<br />Avoid additional hardware and, if possible, complex middleware and management platforms that will deviate from your existing SAP strategy.<br />Avoid replicating SAP processes to your “Mobile System.” SAP should be your master system for data and processes. <br />Properly manage all business transactions, from the point of inception through to final posting.<br />Understand that 70% of the effort in all SAP mobile deployments is the integration with your SAP system. Ensure the integration piece of your strategy is detailed and understood.<br />Ensure you have the proper interface management within SAP to guarantee transaction and data integrity and avoid performance bottlenecks.<br />Pay attention to SAP data and business process integrity, ensuring:<br />SAP levels of security are not compromised.<br />SAP remains the master system. Don’t replicate SAP functionality into 3rd party middleware systems. Extend SAP functionality to the field, don’t replace it.<br />Be sure that you consider these keys points when developing your mobile strategy and you will have taken the first steps towards a successful deployment of mobile technology.<br />Mobilizing Business Functions<br />559435790575One of the key inputs to your mobile strategy will be to understand the areas of your business that will need to be mobilized, both now and in the future. Typical functions that are being mobilized in today’s landscape include:<br />As such, when addressing today’s requirements, be sure to also consider your future mobility needs. Gartner reports indicate that mobilizing more than one business function is “highly likely” and that your mobile strategy must assume this to be true. Many early adopters of mobility suffered heavily by not considering future needs. They deployed a point solution that addressed a particular need at that point in time, but subsequently the solution could not be utilized for mobilizing other business processes. This process continued until they had multiple solutions that simply could not be maintained. Gartner reports indicate that on average, clients have deployed seven (7) different mobile solutions in their enterprise which, as you would expect, causes significant management issues. As such, be sure to consider both current and future application requirements when formulating your mobile strategy.<br />Hardware Deployment<br />In today’s environment, the fastest moving area of mobility is hardware. There is an incredible amount of competition between major hardware vendors to win your business. As a result of this, it is highly likely that you will have a number of different devices, including smartphones, tablets and laptops, throughout your organization. As such, you need to ensure that your applications can be deployed on a variety of devices. At the time of writing, there are a number of key device platforms that you should assume will need to be supported now or at some point in the future. They are detailed below:<br />247651683223110490-1905BlackBerryBlackBerry smartphones are manufactured by Research in Motion (RIM) and experienced huge market uptake by business, with the primary function of mobilizing email and calendar functions. iPhone & iPadThe iPhone and iPad are now well known given their “game changing” functionality and appearance in the consumer market. Both devices are now appearing in corporate boardrooms and are being deployed by the enterprise. Deployment of enterprise applications should be assumed as a requirement either now or in the not too distant future.34290340995Windows MobileWindows Mobile is a very common platform in the enterprise market, particularly in Europe and Asia. While the Microsoft platform may be considered a little “behind” its competitors, it is still widely used in smartphone devices from major manufacturers. Windows Mobile 7 appears to be a very “consumer” oriented device. At the time of writing there has been very limited enterprise support for WM7 by both ISV’s and hardware vendors.36062251431Windows (Laptop)Deployment of mobile applications to tablet and/or laptop is still very much common place. While the introduction of “smarter” applications will reduce this requirement, it is still expected to be a mode of deployment in certain circumstances. Particularly when dealing with application needs that have large data volumes, multi-media and attachments that are difficult to read/navigate on a smartphone or in situations where the hardware is already deployed.243840266700AndroidAndroid is the newest operating system released by Google. Android is now rapidly catching well-established smartphones and eating into the market share previously held by Nokia, Windows and BlackBerry. We are also seeing a number of Android based tablets entering the market. The enterprise will need to support Android based applications.<br />With such a vast array of devices and operating systems, you must ensure that your mobile strategy allows for your applications to be deployed across multiple device platforms. Furthermore, your platform must be able to seamlessly interact with the “native” features of the device platform. For example, can your enterprise application interact with the phone calendar, telephone, internet browser, address book, mapping features etc? While each of these functions will be different on each mobile device, a robust mobile platform will support this native integration across device platforms.<br />The Risks with Middleware<br />Your mobile strategy needs to consider the impact of introducing middleware into your corporate landscape as opposed to deploying mobile solutions that focus on extending SAP. Key items for consideration include:<br />How interfaces are managed from within SAP.<br />SAP is your master system. Many mistakes are made by replicating SAP functionality into 3rd party middleware. In no time at all, there is confusion as to which system is the “master.” Where do you run reports and which system is your financial system? It should be SAP, ensuring your enterprise remains fully integrated.<br />The ability to utilize existing SAP skills to mobilize. 3rd party middleware will require unique skills that are difficult to acquire and keep.<br />The ability to utilize existing infrastructure. SAP provides you with a development, test, training and production environment. How will you replicate this with middleware based solutions? What extra hardware will be required and how will it fit into your existing network and DRP? <br />Selecting a Mobile Framework (MEAP)<br />When attempting to mobilize your first business application, your mobile strategy should dictate the choice of a mobile framework rather than a single “point solution.” Gartner refers to the mobile platform as a mobile enterprise application platform (MEAP) in their Enterprise Mobility Research paper. The risks of NOT selecting a single integrated platform are:<br />A single application solution will not support future mobility requirements (i.e. your field service application will not be capable of providing workflow approvals or the entry of leave requests).<br />A single application is unlikely to support deployment across multiple device platforms. For example, a CRM application developed for BlackBerry smartphone will not assist with a field service application on a ruggedized Motorola device.<br />When choosing a framework that can support your current and future mobile requirements, you should consider the following key questions.<br />Can the framework support multiple device types and operating systems?<br />How easily can I support multiple device types? How easily can I switch if/when my current device is end of life?<br />Can the framework meet my current and future mobile application requirements? <br />The mobile framework must be able to meet current and future business needs. Do I need to custom build everything or can I start with a pre-defined and customizable template?<br />What skills will I need in my enterprise to develop and support applications? <br />Can I develop applications myself or am I “stuck” with a particular vendor every time I want to enhance or modify my application(s)? <br />What hardware is required to support my infrastructure? <br />Are there unique (and additional) hardware requirements that I am not aware of. What are the capital implications and cost of ownership issues (for example additional backup/DRP, redundancy, failover etc.). Also, are there environments for development, test, training and production just as I have within my SAP landscape?<br />How will the application interface to my SAP system(s)?<br />What protocols will be used to interface to SAP?<br />How will these interfaces be managed?<br />How will failures be “trapped”?<br />How will I be notified when there is a problem?<br />What skills will my staff need to manage and diagnose problems?<br />Can errors be safely “reprocessed” with minimal intervention?<br />What load will this place on my SAP system? Will it be overrun with transaction “storms” at the start and end of each day?<br />Is SAP still my master system?<br />Many mobile deployments make the mistake of replicating key SAP processes to non-SAP systems, removing the integrated business that you started with. For example, don’t be fooled into replicating your Field Service or CRM functions into a middleware based “Mobile” application. This will only create “two versions of the truth” and eliminate the benefits that come with implementing SAP, such as a fully integrated view of your business. <br />On-going support<br />Can I maintain the system myself? How do I deploy changes? Can this be done remotely “over the air” or do devices need to be returned to base to be “uploaded”. How do I provide support to remote workers?<br />A mobile strategy that includes the selection of a mobile platform that is able to address these questions will give you comfort that your mobile strategy will meet current and future mobility requirements.<br />Programming vs. Configurable Applications<br />As with all new IT solutions, your IT strategy needs to give serious consideration to the cost of ownership. Your choice of mobile platform will play a significant part in this equation. Many mobile solutions promote the support of “multiple devices,” however all this means is that they enable you to program (i.e. write code) in a variety of different languages and push out this compiled code to different platforms. So in essence you cannot deploy the same application to different devices types. You are creating and maintaining the same application in multiple languages to support different device operating systems. Put quite simply, this equates to $$$.<br />Consider selecting a platform that enables the configuration of applications which can be deployed across all device operating systems (i.e. configure once, deploy to many). You will hear this statement from a large number of vendors, so do your homework and determine the facts from the marketing spin as it will be an important consideration when determining your strategy. <br />Online vs. Offline<br />Your mobile strategy needs to consider the implications of running applications that are “online” (i.e. require a permanent connection to the host system) or “offline” (i.e. can run without a network connection). When you consider the number of applications that will be deployed in your enterprise, you should assume that you will need to support both types of deployment.<br />Online applications should be able to communicate directly with your SAP system (not a middleware based database), ensuring that any inquiries are displaying data in “real-time”. Dynamic data such as inventory, credit position, order status and pricing should be accurate when presented to the mobile user and not reliant on synchronization to a 3rd party middleware system.<br />Offline applications should be able to seamlessly synchronize data with the SAP environment, without user intervention. The database that is resident on the mobile device must be capable of scaling to support the data that will be required to run your application. It should also incorporate features such as being network aware and upgradeable “over the air” (i.e. not having to return the device to base for an upgrade).<br />With this requirement in mind, ensure that your mobile strategy caters for both styles of application within a single mobile framework.<br />Template (pre-built) Applications<br />When reviewing platforms from the market place, ask vendors to demonstrate if they have a library of pre-built solution templates that you can use as a starting point for your implementation. Try to determine how closely it (or they) align to your business processes. Several vendors claim to have pre-built solution templates, however investigation will quickly highlight they have only one application (for which they are a specialist and have no other broad experience) or the applications you are shown are simply “demoware.” Sky has seen examples of some high profile mobility vendors demonstrating “solutions” that aren’t even developed using their own product (i.e. they were simply hard coded demo apps to gain your interest). Sky Technologies has a number of pre-built solution templates aimed at accelerating your implementation. Sky is not suggesting these are “out-of-the-box” solutions that you will simply turn on. However they are functionally rich and will enable you to use the solutions as a starting point for your implementation. Outlined below are some examples of these template applications. <br />Business FunctionDescription28892584455Supply ChainManufacturing, Warehouse/Inventory Management, Distribution, Dangerous Goods, Proof of Delivery, Point of Sale.46736090805Sales & CRMContacts/Accounts, Activities, Leads and Opportunities, Sales Orders/Deliveries41973586360Asset Management & Field ServiceNotifications, Work Orders, Time Recording, Material Consumption, Document/Media Management, GPS/GIS, Inspections & Audit.43180050165Human Capital Management & WorkflowWorkflow Approvals, including documents such as Purchase Orders and Requisitions.
