Data Protection Modernization - Restore, Reuse, ReinventPaula Koziol
We all have to backup data – but it’s often expensive and difficult, and the data we protect generally sits there doing absolutely nothing (unless you really need it). As IT environments change IBM believes that there needs to be a way to unlock value from your backup data. VM Admins, developers, application owners would love to be able to easily access their own backup data for a number of re-use purposes such as testing, development, reporting or analytics.
IBM Spectrum Protect Plus can simplify the backup process whilst making data readily available for the people who really need it - addressing traditional backup needs such as compliance alongside modern data re-use and self service capabilities.
The more you use your data, the more valuable it is.

Bocada announces N2WS backup and recovery Reporting --> https://www.bocada.com/company/blog-news/announcing-n2ws-backup-recovery-reporting/
N2WS Free Trial: n2ws.com/trial
Managing backup operations and data protection has never been harder. Classic backup challenges—complex backup policies, strict compliance guidelines, managing storage usage and costs—are now complicated by the growth in heterogeneous environments, unfettered data proliferation, and ever-increasing cyberattacks.
With just manual backup and reporting approaches, data protection professionals are left with high-risk situations and little opportunity to proactively manage backup health and identify time or cost-saving efficiencies.
We are excited to announce the native integration between N2WS and Bocada, giving data protection professionals a complete end-to-end solution to automate data protection and backup monitoring. Attend our upcoming demo to learn how you can:
-Automate and customize backup, restore, storage, and compliance operations reports across all hybrid, public and private platforms.
-Centralize backup monitoring from legacy on-prem solutions to AWS and other cloud-based tools.
-Identify unprotected resources, expired snapshots, and major cost savings opportunities
-Automate critical failure alerting and ticketing to proactively address data protection concerns.
Traditional forms of backup and recovery don't work anymore - there is too much data and it is growing every day; the IT environment has become extremely complex and distributed; and service level requirements have increased while budgets have not. You need a smarter approach to protecting your data.
The Data lake hidden in your backups - Big Data Expo 2019webwinkelvakdag
Data warehouse projects have an alarmingly high failure rate – leading analysts estimate anywhere from 50% to 64% over the last 15 years. These projects don’t fail from a lack of good tools in the market. They fail because of the time, expense, and complexity of centralizing, storing, updating, and transforming enterprise data so that it can be unlocked for other uses.
But what if you had already built a data lake covering all of your production workloads, with data stretching back for months or years and updated daily? What if this data lake was accessible, easily portable, and available for analysis using any set of tools? And what if the expense and staffing to create and maintain this data lake was already part of your budget and had been for years?
Your organization’s backup data represents exactly this resource. We all have backups to recover from outages, human error, malware, and disasters. But imagine you could take advantage of your backup data in order to:
Analyze historical data sets with no impact on production workloads
Migrate workloads into the cloud to take advantage of cloud-based analytics resources
Fully automate DevOps processes using daily backup data
Perform ransomware and compliancy checks and audits
Comply with GDPR data subject access requests (DSAR’s)
And numerous other use cases…

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.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

on physical tape
• Software-defined approach avoids lock-in to vendor-specific
data protection appliances
• VMware Virtual appliance and an agentless
architecture enable fast deployment and easy
maintenance
• Broad workload support unifies data backup,
recovery, replication for physical file systems, VMs,
databases, Office 365, SAP HANA, and containers
• End-to-end policies automate data lifecycle
management, including operational data recovery,
data replication, and data retention
