Welsh Consultants publishes- Big data has affected the way that organisations do business in every industry across the world, and real estate is no exception. Understanding the term ‘big data’ will help give context to how it helps in real estate analysis. Gartner’s explanation, circa 2001, is still considered the go-to definition: ‘Big data is high-volume, high-velocity and high-variety information assets that demand cost-effective, innovative forms of information processing that enable enhanced insights, superior decision-making, and effective process automation.’ This is often referred to as the ‘three Vs’ of big data. Essentially, big data is processing of large amounts of data, be it historic or real-time, and to which algorithms are applied to discover trends in user behaviour, predict future outcomes, or gain other business insights. The data sets can be structured or unstructured, and can be analysed to make precise and accurate business decisions. This paper reflects upon this in detail.

Business Value With Big Data
For business to survive in a competitive environment, organizational change requires improved governance, sponsorship, processes, and controls, in addition to new skill sets and technology all work in harmony to deliver the benefits of big data. See Fig. 13.2
Data science has taken the business world by storm. Every field of study and area of business has been affected as companies realize the value of the incredible quantities of data being generated. But to extract value from those data, one needs to be trained in the proper data science skills. The R programming language has become the de fac to programming language for data science. Its flexibility, power, sophistication, and expressiveness have ma ...
Running at the Speed of Digital: Hyper-Digital Information ManagementCognizant
Consumers’ need for instant access to information through multiple channels is growing. While some companies in specific segments of the IS industry offer impressive capabilities, none provide the full range of technologies and resources needed to support a cohesive, all-inclusive, digitally-equipped environment for analyzing, ingesting, managing, and delivering content across the value chain. In a hyper-digital environment, IS organizations can distribute content at breakthrough speeds — anytime, anywhere.
The top trends changing the landscape of Information ManagementVelrada
The role of information and data in the private sector, and how employees and users interact with that information, is changing rapidly.
With endless buzzwords and hot topics, and a ream of new technologies and upgrades, it can be difficult for organisations to know where to begin or how it translates into actionable insight.
Foster Moore® prepared a white paper for the recent meeting of the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS). It looks at the reasons that Secretaries of State might consider when going digital.
Background: As a result of enormous progress in the information technology and communications, several
organizations adopt business intelligence (BI) applications in order to cope with the development in
business mechanisms, staying at the marketplace, competition, customer possession and retention.
The rapid growing capabilities of both generating and gathering data has created an imperative
necessity for new techniques and tools can intelligently and automatically transform the processed data in
to a valuable information and knowledge. Knowledge management is a cornerstone in selecting accurate
information at the appropriate time from many relevant resources.
Objective: The major Objective of this research is to "examine the impact of business intelligence on
employee's knowledge sharing at the Jordanian telecommunications company (JTC)".
Design/methodology/approach: A review of the literature serves as the basis for measuring the impact of
business intelligence using knowledge sharing scale. The study sample consisted of administrators,
technical staff, and senior managers.75 questionnaires were distributed in the site of JTC. (70)
Questionnaires were collected. (63) Found statistically usable for this study representing a response rate
of (84 %).
Findings: Most important findings for this study demonstrate that business intelligence tools respectively
(OLAP, Data Warehousing, and Data Mining)are highly effect on employee knowledge sharing.
Originality/ Value: Business Intelligence play a significant role in obtaining the underlying knowledge in
the organization, through optimum utilization of data sources the internal and external alike. Several
researches addressed the importance of integrating business intelligence with knowledge management,
little of these researches addressing the impact of business intelligence on knowledge sharing. This study
has tried to address this need.
API-led connectivity: How to leverage reusable microservicesAbhishek Sood
Government agencies across the globe – whether they be state, local, central, or federal – face a digital transformation imperative to adopt cloud, IoT, and mobile technologies that legacy systems often struggle to keep up with.
This white paper explores how to take an architectural approach centered around APIs and microservices to unlock monolithic legacy systems for digital transformation.
Find out how to build up your API management strategy, and learn how you can:
Accelerate project delivery driven by reusable microservices
Secure data exchange within and outside agencies
Use API-led connectivity to modernize legacy systems
And more
Real time responses to events will be feasible when enterprises are designed to be maneuverable and their flow of activity is not disrupted by a breakdown in any one component in the chain of business processes that enable the completion of an activity.

Processing raw, disorganized data and presenting it in a relevant context is familiar to service providers. But turning the information into valuable insights that can be shared across the entire company requires a new approach.
NFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION REVIEW
Analyze the issues
Hardware
Over-running volume of data is a problem that should be addressed by data management and storage management. Data is being constantly collected but poorly analyzed which leads to excessive amounts of data occupying storage and delay in operations which inevitably affect production, sales and profits. If this remains unresolved, current data may have to be moved to external storage and recovered if needed. There is also the risk of data not being encoded into computers and thus will remain in manual state. This can be a case of redundant or extraneous data that is not yet cleaned and normalized by operations managers with the guidance of IT. This situation is known as data overload where companies actually use only a fraction of the data they capture and store. Many companies simply hoard data to make sure that they are readily available when they are needed. This negatively impacts the Corporation when assessing data relevance, accuracies and timeliness (Marr, 2016).
Software
The Largo Corporation (LC) seems to running on an enterprise resource planning system that is probably as long as 20 years old. Initially, LC has had success with the old system because they were able to establish themselves in various industries such as healthcare, media, government, etc. But due to various concerns, the Corporation is currently running on an outdated system because it is unable to provide services that keeps the Corporation a float. The LC is losing revenue and customers. Complete data without analysis is invaluable because, no information and insights can be produced that will support decisions. Customer data should lead to the best marketing and sales campaigns. The Corporation needs to recognize its weaknesses and implement changes to their software by incorporating funding for a new system that is reliable, secure, and has the ability to run on integrated systems; all of which will streamline data organization and analysis for the enterprise. (Rouse, n.d).
Network/Telecommunications
The network that was built in the 1980’s has become slow and unreliable affecting business operations. The problems caused by the old network are; lack of integration and communication between departments affecting the work flow, supply vs. demand, and inability to analyze data to carry out these operations. The Corporation should have taken into consideration the growth of the company by expanding and upgrading their networks along with their services. They should also take into consideration the number of departments, the number of users and their skill level, storage and bandwidth, and budget (Rasmussen, 2011). The current network does not allow employees to connect on their mobile devices which restricts flexibility and places limitations on productivity and portability.
Management
The responses of both IT and the business group are both juxtaposed against e ...

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.
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).

Improving access to information for decision
making purposes Quality information is provided to decision
makers to make informed and evidence-
based decisions in a timely matter.
Decisions are made based on best
information available , usually taking a long
time to collect and interpret information.
Improving the quality of information to
support eServices, decision making,
transparency, and information economy.
Quality information is readily available,
shared, and exchanged with stakeholders,
and supports personalized eServices,
decision making, transparency, and the
information economy. Information is
managed as an enterprise asset.
Duplicated and inconsistent information
resides in silos making it hard and time
consuming to access, reuse, share and
exchange within and with public bodies and
externally.

As GNB matures its newly launched Enterprise Architecture Program, it will focus on creating technical
efficiencies from the way it runs its IT. This will in turn start to affect business efficiencies by growing the
amount of services IT can offer business users. As we continue to mature, GNB will begin to reap the
benefits of efficiencies (time, cost, resources) and be able to reinvest in business transformative initiatives
brought on by more effectiveness toward our desired end state.

Information Architecture
Enterprise information architecture (EIA) designs outcomes to drive the information-sharing strategy across
the organization, leading to the development of the semantically interoperable, compliant, and trusted
enterprise information infrastructure. EIA aims at removing the silos of information and integrating
applications, while satisfying business requirements.
There are 5 levels of maturity for information “use”:
1. Data to run the business (focus on data and reporting);
2. Information to manage the business (basic information interaction);
3. Information as a strategic asset (information in business context);
4. Information to enable innovation (information enabled business innovation);
5. Information as a competitive differentiator (adaptive business performance).
GNB public bodies can be assessed at level 1 or 2.
Improving access to information for decision making purposes
Improving access to information for decision
making purposes Quality information is provided to decision
makers to make informed and evidence-
based decisions in a timely matter.
Decisions are made based on best
information available , usually taking a long
time to collect and interpret information.

Business Intelligence (BI)
“Business Intelligence is the capability of the organization to explain, plan, predict, solve problems, think in
an abstract way, understand, invent, and learn in order to increase organizational knowledge, provide
information to the decision process, enable effective actions, and support establishing and achieving
business goals.” 1
In government, the need for better BI is evident. The Government Renewal (GR) Plan refers to three urgent
needs:
Financial Accountability;
Corporate Human Resource Planning; and
ODH-1236 Health Analytics.
Forty business applications with BI capabilities have been identified in Part I alone and could leverage a
common platform. The use of MS Excel and MS SharePoint has exploded in GNB public bodies to fill the gap
of producing required reports.
Business Intelligence (BI) Strategy and Framework
GNB enterprise and public bodies have a wide variety of requirements. Therefore there is a need for a BI
strategy and framework for using a portfolio of BI solutions. Examples of such solutions are:
1
Overview of Business Intelligence Maturity Models, Irena Hribar Rajterič, 2010
6. GNB Enterprise Architecture Vision – EA Program – ECO-OCIO 2013-05-22
6
traditional reporting, self-service BI and dashboards;
discovery solutions and best-of-breed tools for such needs as financials, human resources; and
analytical and forecasting tools for special analysis.
BI Competency Centre
GNB public bodies could use a BI competency centre to evaluate which BI solution will meet their
requirements and perform tests with real program data.
Optimizing BI, Analytics & Forecasting
Once the enterprise information is standardized, high performance enterprise data warehouses and matured
BI can be achieved to provide quality, relevant, and timely information to the decision making processes. This
will enable effective actions and support establishing and achieving business goals as repetitive processes.

Provincial Information Governance and Framework
There is a need to upgrade the existing framework of acts and policies, to support Information Readiness,
data sharing, data quality, and to prepare for the Information Age. The governance needs simplification and
the rules need to be demystified. Today, there are about fifteen (15) acts that affect the management of
information, from privacy, official languages, health information, electronic transaction, evidence, and
archives and many policies including security, privacy, records management, email.

Information today is not managed as an enterprise asset. An Enterprise Information Management (EIM)
program is non-existent. Such a program would establish itself as a core, invaluable enabler and provider of
corporate/shared services for information and business needs for government public bodies to operate as
one enterprise more effectively internally and globally.2
Currently, GNB has programs to manage the information lifecycle, privacy, security, data centre, web content
and information architecture. However, there are few programs at the enterprise level, and no
corporate/shared program(s) currently exist(s) to manage business intelligence, portals, search, mobile apps,
workflow, metadata and taxonomy, governance, data warehousing, master data, data quality improvement,
enterprise collaboration, etc.
Optimizing Digital Information
There is a need to reduce the volume of information in all GNB public bodies. Such an exercise is called
Information Waste Reduction, Information Governance or Defensible Disposal in the industry.
Gartner reported that 90% of data is either stale or of non-business value.3
Cisco saved $12M by eliminating information waste in eighteen (18) months.4
After a large legal case, DuPont estimated that it cost $12M to have attorneys review all additional
documents that were kept past their established retention period.5
US Government Accountability Office (GAO) achieved 92% accuracy in automatic
tagging/categorization effectiveness. Information is now more easily discoverable.
The challenge clearly lies with utilizing effective tools for intelligent information management6
. The following
activities could be done:
deletion of content: emails, collaboration, business applications, and records based on retention
schedules;
deletion of duplicate information;
deletion of business applications and data with no value;
move the 90 business applications performing correspondence tracking, invoice tracking, etc. and
associated information to an enterprise repository and retire these applications; and
implementation of intelligent tools.
An Information Waste Reduction initiative could also manage all “Request for Information” in public bodies.
This means that “Information requests from the public, Auditor General and/or Comptroller” as mentioned in
the Government Renewal Plan could be addressed by this initiative.
GNB public bodies would then be able to make their significant digital information semantically organized,
trusted, legally compliant, standards compliant, exchangeable and re-useable.

Business Capabilities
All GNB public bodies’ business functions, information and services should be categorized according to the
appropriate business capabilities. This way, the business capability can be analyzed and appropriate metrics
can be established and monitored. Similar capabilities (throughout all GNB public bodies) can then be
transformed as a whole to be more effective and efficient. Appropriate enterprise information requirements,
reporting and analytics for the capability can then be achieved.
Current Architecture & Maturity Levels
Inventories are necessary to gain knowledge of business information and applications that currently exist in
public bodies is necessary in order to develop strategies. Assessments would be done to identify:
business applications that have no value;
business applications that could be replaced by implementing an EDRMS7
. Ninety (90) were previously
identified for Part I alone. Likely higher since MS SharePoint is widely used;
reporting tools that could be replaced by implementing a business intelligence framework. Forty (40)
were previously identified;
duplicate information that should be managed as “enterprise information assets”, and assessment of
business applications that perform registration process. There were 125 previously identified.
information that could be shared externally, to communities of interest, to the public, etc. as “Open
Government Data”;
the status of using data standards based on international and national standards.

data is open for the private sector to reuse in the InfoEconomy. Eventually more geographic data layers will
be made available.
Enterprise Data Standards
Lack of adoption of semantic interoperability means higher costs and higher errors in data meanings and
exchange, and less opportunities. Over US$100 billion per year is lost because of the lack of a widely used
semantic interoperability standard in the US alone.
Every discipline has standards: transportation, construction, health, etc. Over 700 data standards from over
40 authoritative bodies have been found for business, information and data. GNB needs to start now to work
towards establishing semantic interoperability standards. A standards program must be established and
resourced8
, and enterprise registries are required to ease the reusability of components in business
applications.
Shared Enterprise Data
Shared and trusted enterprise data is accomplished with the implementation of an enterprise metadata
registry and of master data for such things as clients, businesses, employees, locations, products, etc.
According to the MDM institute, master data management is “the authoritative, reliable foundation for data
used across many applications and constituencies with the goal to provide a single view of the truth no matter
where it lies.” An MDM hub promotes standardization and harmonization of applications and information
assets in order to maximize reuse, efficiency, effectiveness, and value to the organization.
There should be mechanisms by which government reduces the service delivery inefficiencies to customers
(including business and employees). These registries are candidates for the master data management
(MDM) hub. For instance, customer profiles would be accessible from a client registry for reuse in electronic
forms and for accessing eServices. It would allow for viewing all interactions with a customer.
Open Government Data
Open Government Data9
is defined as “public data which is complete, primary, timely, accessible, machine
processable, non-discriminatory, non-proprietary, license-free, and when compliance is reviewable.”
Currently, GNB’s websites offer publications, reports, audios, videos, etc. This can be assessed at maturity
level 1-2. Even when more is added to the collection, it will remain at maturity 1-2, since the data does not
meet the above definition. In European Union (EU), re-use of Public Sector Information (PSI) is expected to
bring more than $100 billion economic value to the EU.

Application Architecture
The Roadmap defines the critical application architecture evolution that needs to take place in order to
transform our existing silo and disjointed application environment into one that:
guides Government Renewal Program;
enables development of more agile and cost efficient business processes;
improves secure information sharing;
increases return on assets from past it investments;
supports shared services initiatives; and
reuses and only develops functionality that the enterprise does not have (PwC 2011 report).
Adoption of Service Oriented Architecture and stakeholder engagement are crucial success factors for this
transformational journey.
The Government of New Brunswick recognizes that it must continually evolve its business services to
respond to the changing needs of its citizenry. However, as with most organizations, GNB’s large and
diverse embedded technology base is acting as an impediment to business transformation. The existing GNB
application environment cannot meet government’s renewal and transformation demands. The uncoordinated
IT spending that is required to keep the environment running is also placing GNB in a deteriorating position,
both technically and financially.
Application rationalization, standardization, modernization and simplification are necessary steps for
overhauling the application portfolio and getting Government back on the right technology path.
An overall Government application strategy and portfolio management practice will assist Government in
determining its investment posture with regard to particular applications. Based on the technical state and
business fit of an application, a decision can then be made on whether to tolerate, invest in, migrate, or
eliminate a given application.

Application Rationalization
Application rationalization reduces costs, redundancies and complexities of GNB’s IT landscape via
application rationalization activities.
In the current environment, multiple applications and technologies exists for similar business functions. This
application sprawl and redundancy of applications has a cascading effect on cost and IT landscape
complexity. For instance, Part I currently has:
125 separate systems performing a registry functions;
39 systems performing HR functions;
42 systems for reporting tools;
90 systems for document/correspondence management;
42 applications that have Accounts Payable functionality; and
50 systems that perform some type of Inventory management.
Rationalization will assist government identify, upgrade and eliminate IT assets that deliver low value to the
business.

Platform Rationalization
Platform rationalization reduces the total number of assets by consolidating best of breed components,
features, and functionalities from multiple existing systems into either a single existing or new system. For
instance, case management workloads currently spread out across many applications can be consolidated
into a single case management configurable platform that all clients can use.
Past government IT silo project practices has led GNB to an IT environment of maze of applications and
platforms of different ages, sizes, types resulting in an ongoing high maintenance costs.
Industry best practices and recent government reviews indicate that significant savings and efficiencies can
be achieved by platform rationalization. (i.e. running existing IT process and functionality on fewer platforms
will result in significant reductions of software and hardware licensing and operating costs).
Improving access to information through business process management and services
Improving access to information through
business process management and services Information is provided via standardized,
shared, reusable, and adoptable service
components, creating a common access
point to secure and quality information
via mobile and multi-channels.
Information is provided by point-to-point
custom integration of applications reducing
agility and flexibility.

Business Improvement scenario
Citizens can receive government services via their choice of access channel and with equivalent client
experience and satisfaction. A citizen can renew his Motor Vehicle registration over the counter, via the web
or mobile devices etc. with equal service quality.
Service Oriented Architecture
The target application architecture is based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). SOA is a design
paradigm used to construct business driven information systems composed of independent, reusable, and
reconfigurable IT components. The use of an SOA approach can lead to more agile and cost efficient
business processes and thus can help guide the government renewal initiative. Other benefits of SOA include
improved information sharing, increased return on assets from past IT investments, and better support for the
shared services initiative.
Software as a Service
SOA can assist GNB in implementing a secure cloud computing environment where Software as a Service
(SaaS) can be hosted and provided externally by private sector and internally by a specific agency.

Back office enterprise systems
Back office processes and functions can be provided via enterprise systems that are architected to meet all
client needs and are run by a single shared services agency. The Procurement and Payroll initiatives that are
presently under way are two good examples of those opportunities. The SOA infrastructure will assist in
providing dynamically and on demand necessary information or functionality to other government LOB
applications that might require such services in order to complete or fulfill line of business transactions. (e.g.
Oracle Financials can become the master database for all financial information and its data and financial
processing can be accessed and re-used by other LOB applications via exposed Oracle Financials web
services. The same design principles can be applied to all required back office corporate application
processing needs).

As depicted above, four major infrastructure areas need to be matured across Government to help the
business get access to information in a timely manner. Todays “ad-hoc” (Level 1) approach to technology
procurement, planning and use represents a low level of maturity. By implementing an Enterprise
Architecture (EA) program that can touch all public bodies, the appropriate level of governance, process
improvement, and planning can be applied to help GNB mature towards an “optimized” (Level 5)
infrastructure. In doing this GNB’s infrastructure will evolve to better enable communication, collaboration and
efficiencies between all public bodies.
A matured approach that is used across GNB will facilitate the use of industry best practices such as: having
access to the right tools, virtualization, data centre consolidation, and integrated telecommunications. All of
which will enable GNB to build on efficiencies and gain cost savings.
Longer term goals such as cloud computing and possibly a Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) strategy can be
considered, evaluated, planned, and potentially implemented as to gain even more flexibly, efficiencies, and
cost savings.

This area represents the migration of network connectivity from the decentralized approach of today towards
an integrated telecom strategy that can be used by all public bodies. Progressing along this maturity scale
will allow immediate cost savings from procurement efficiencies and would help to eliminate duplication, but
also build a foundation level of connectivity that furthers many other GNB initiatives. A mature connectivity
infrastructure can be used to further work in Unified Communication, and can be the foundation for Citizen
Centric Networks to be used in education, healthcare and Smart Grid initiatives.

Once a mature robust foundation connectivity layer exists, the backend server and data centre infrastructure
can be considered. Mature approaches around server virtualization can be applied and the associated cost
savings realized. This virtualization capability is the catalyst that enables enterprise-wide data centre
consolidation and can allow GNB to realize potential savings. The next logical extension to this is to look to
the concept of cloud computing for savings. Using the “cloud”, in essence off site private data centres,
removes the burden of managing and operating large amounts of infrastructure and its associated costs.
Cloud computing not only relies on GNB having its own robust network infrastructure for connectivity, but
requires highly robust interconnections with service providers and mature SLA management before the true
value of the “cloud” can be realized.

planning for, and procurement of the foundation technologies such as: tablet computers, and investments in
desktop virtualization technologies that act as a layer of abstraction thereby possibly allowing GNB to gain
flexibility and cost savings in evolving strategies such as Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD).

technological change is critical to effectively allocate resources.
1 Initial/Ad Hoc when
Management recognises the need for technology infrastructure planning. Technology component developments and emerging
technology implementations are ad hoc and isolated. There is a reactive and operationally focused approach to infrastructure
planning. Technology directions are driven by the often contradictory product evolution plans of hardware, systems software and
applications software vendors. Communication of the potential impact of changes in technology is inconsistent.
2 Repeatable but Intuitive when
The need for and importance of technology planning are communicated. Planning is tactical and focused on generating solutions to
technical problems, rather than on the use of technology to meet business needs. Evaluation of technological changes is left to
different individuals who follow intuitive, but similar, processes. People obtain their skills in technology planning through hands-on
learning and repeated application of techniques. Common techniques and standards are emerging for the development of
infrastructure components.
3 Defined when
Management is aware of the importance of the technology infrastructure plan. The technology infrastructure plan development
process is reasonably sound and aligned with the IT strategic plan. There is a defined, documented and well-communicated
technology infrastructure plan, but it is inconsistently applied. The technology infrastructure direction includes an understanding of
where the organisation wants to lead or lag in the use of technology, based on risks and alignment with the organisation’s strategy.
Key vendors are selected based on the understanding of their long-term technology and product development plans, consistent with
the organisation’s direction. Formal training and communication of roles and responsibilities exist.
4 Managed and Measurable when
Management ensures the development and maintenance of the technology infrastructure plan. IT staff members have the expertise
and skills necessary to develop a technology infrastructure plan. The potential impact of changing and emerging technologies is
taken into account. Management can identify deviations from the plan and anticipate problems. Responsibility for the development
and maintenance of a technology infrastructure plan has been assigned. The process of developing the technology infrastructure
plan is sophisticated and responsive to change. Internal good practices have been introduced into the process. The human
resources strategy is aligned with the technology direction, to ensure that IT staff members can manage technology changes.
Migration plans for introducing new technologies are defined. Outsourcing and partnering are being leveraged to access necessary
expertise and skills. Management has analysed the acceptance of risk regarding the lead or lag use of technology in developing new
business opportunities or operational efficiencies.
5 Optimised when
A research function exists to review emerging and evolving technologies and benchmark the organisation against industry norms.
The direction of the technology infrastructure plan is guided by industry and international standards and developments, rather than
driven by technology vendors. The potential business impact of technological change is reviewed at senior management levels.
There is formal executive approval of new and changed technological directions. The entity has a robust technology infrastructure
plan that reflects the business requirements, is responsive and can be modified to reflect changes in the business environment.
There is a continuous and enforced process in place to improve the technology infrastructure plan. Industry good practices are
extensively used in determining the technological direction.

Security Architecture
Ensuring secure access to government information
Ensuring secure access to government
information A standardized set of information
assurance capabilities are selected via
sound risk management methodology and
shared amongst public bodies enabling
secure, timely access to government
information.
Capabilities exist within public entities at
various levels of maturity and are often
focused on Information Technology
Security. Risk is addressed in silos with
little consideration of impact to other
Public Bodies.

Throughout public bodies threats against infrastructure can range through telecommunications, energy,
electronic health records, authorization logics, distributed access in the cloud, location privacy, secure
network location and design, etc.
As an interconnected member of the Canadian Infrastructure with public and private routes to various
partners, our systems are simultaneously at risk from compromise via our partners and at risk of being used
as a pathway to attack them.
The Security Architecture strategy is to identify the threats to these various lines of work, measure the risk
impact and produce proactive mitigation plans; enabling secure transactions while aligning with budgetary
targets.
Cyber Security Strategy
The New Brunswick Cyber Security Strategy will outline the top level issues we face and the steps
government is taking to mitigate or aid in mitigation. Several national cyber security strategies, including
Canada’s have identified Organized Crime, State sanctioned espionage/sabotage and terrorist use of
cyberspace as top level threats. To mitigate these issues New Brunswick’s strategy will focus on three main
areas; internal security of government systems, working co-operatively with FPT partners to ensure open
communication and resolution of issues, helping NB citizens and business operate safely in cyberspace.
Information Assurance & Operational Security Standards
The vision is to provide a suite of Information Assurance and Operational Security documentation that
provides guidance to public bodies; aiding decision makers to produce consistent, rational outcomes. This is
achieved by collaborative work with Federal, Provincial, and Territorial jurisdictions as well as other partners
to determine best approaches for Information Assurance and Operational Security Standards creation and
review.
Identity & Access Management
Identity validation and administration must take place in an agreed upon and trusted method via a broker or
other trusted evaluator such that services allocation processes can be built and used consistently. This is the
foundation of the security aspect that follows and provides:

a lower total cost of ownership through the increased efficiency and consolidation of identification and
authorization procedures;
security improvements that reduce the risk of internal and external attacks;
greater access to information by partners, employees, and customers, thus leading to increased
productivity, satisfaction, and revenue;
higher levels of regulatory compliance through the implementation of comprehensive security, audit,
and access policies; and
greater business agility during events such as mergers and acquisitions.
Based on the evaluation conducted on the identity, roles can be assigned that allow or disallow access to
relevant data as well as manage the ability to Read/Add/Remove/Change that data based on need. This can
include time constraints on such access via expiry dates.
When an identity changes status from one group to another it must be tracked and assigned roles must
change appropriately. Examples can be transfer of departments internally or a citizen moving to another
province within Canada. Further an identity retirement/archive process must exist to handle life events.
Governance, Risk, and Compliance
The vision is to establish a regulatory or internal framework for satisfying governance requirements, evaluate
risk across the enterprise and track how the organization complies with the established governance
requirements. Then use this information to aid in prioritizing, funding and initiating any corrective actions or
new systems required and as input to other management decisions as needed.
This is achieved via threat risk assessment processes of new or significantly changed systems and general
IM&ICT policy & standards compliance checks to ensure that GNB is meeting its obligations in regards to
legislation, regulations, contracts, strategies and policies.
Security Event Management Center (SEMC)
The vision is to enable public bodies to conduct business in a secure manner by offering consistent overview
of threat trends, their impacts and producing mitigation strategies.
This is accomplished by managing the Security Event lifecycle process, through identification, investigation,
prioritization, and containment via necessary services and guidance to solve them or support their resolution.
To mitigate risks and minimize the number of responses required SEMC also provides preventive services;
issuing advisories on vulnerabilities in various systems and on viruses and similar threats. The SEMC also
acts as a liaison with Federal, Provincial, Territorial partners and the Intelligence community to ensure that
near real-time threat and risk information is available.
