Catalog Management in the Cloud: Two Years Intrail001
Presentation given at the Catalog Management Interest Group, ALA Annual Conference, June 25, 2016 by Stacie Traill and Betsy Friesen (University of Minnesota)
The libraries of the University of Minnesota system were early adopters of Ex Libris's Alma system, migrating in late 2013. In the two and a half years since migration, systems and metadata staff have learned much about the differences between managing a cloud-based, multi-tenant ILS and a locally-hosted server-based ILS. Presenters will discuss some of these differences, along with issues they faced in adopting a new system early in its development cycle. In addition, they will provide an overview of the highlights, challenges, and ongoing evolution of Alma's catalog management tools and functionality (such as authority control and batch processing capabilities).

A Windows Azure approach towards building SAAS Solutions.
SAAS is fundamentally a business model where the application is owned, operated and managed by the vendor. The consumer pays for the usage and consumes the application.
SAAS offers a “hands-off” model for consumers which frees the consumer from pain of server/application management and instead allows the consumer to focus on business.
More enterprises are recognizing the opportunity to extend the reach and cost-efficiency of their applications by delivering them as software-as-a-service (SaaS). However, the approach to deploying in the cloud and the choice of either cloud middleware software or a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) can significantly affect the success of a SaaS implementation.
WSO2 Stratos is a complete enterprise-ready cloud middleware platform designed to extend SOAs to the cloud, and it is the software that powers the WSO2 StratosLive PaaS. By providing WSO2 Carbon products as services over public, private, and hybrid cloud infrastructure, WSO2 Stratos offers an ideal platform for SaaS developers to create, manage and run enterprise-class applications and services with all the inherent benefits of a true cloud-native environment.In this session, we will be looking at the WSO2 Stratos cloud middleware platform and the benefits it offers in developing, testing, deploying and managing cloud-native applications.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

• Multi-tenant or dedicated instances
• Provision single virtualized instances per customer organization or user
• Software downloads
• Mobile application delivery via MDM
• Hybrid models (any combination of above)
Billing Approaches (Order to Cash Automation)
