A Comprehensive Guide to Managed Servicessangerarayal
"Managed services" is a vague term that can encompass a multitude of things. In this guide, we will explore the world of managed services in the context of IT. In IT, managed services refers to an external IT provider or a managed service provider (MSP), which manages some or all of the IT needs of a company.
Cybersecurity should be a priority for all businesses no matter the size. A combination of the right Managed Services and your organization will be prepared for the worst. From Cloud Managed Services to Backup and Disaster Recovery a Managed Service Provider will safeguard your business with solutions that are specific to you.

As a business, your most important asset is your data. But what happens when disaster strikes? Learn how to develop a comprehensive data protection plan to help protect your critical information.
Modern Systems’ Managed Services set the foundation for long term success in the post-mainframe world by providing architectural direction and validation, managed infrastructure and applications, support services, and cost-effective scalability. This suite of services empowers customer IT teams to focus on supporting the business instead of managing a new system, enabling greater resource efficiency and reducing risk.
Here’s how Post-Mainframe Managed Services works:
Modern Systems will design a target infrastructure based upon the environment that is required to host services such as Batch Off Mainframe, Mainframe DataShare, Application Conversion, or Replatforming. Our partnerships with the major hosting providers allow you to extend these new systems in environments, and with management tools that your IT teams already have experience using.
A key differentiator for our managed services offering is our monitoring solution, which goes deeper than just availability and performance counters. We monitor applications at the code library level, ensuring critical business logic and processes are working. And if they’re not, we have the visibility to find out why.
The operational and performance characteristics of the modernized application will be new. By linking instrumentation into the source code at the time of conversion, the internal state of the application can be monitored. This instrumentation works by bracketing key internal operations with a function call to the Modern Systems instrumentation library.
State information, including the values of variables, dynamic SQL strings, and the length of time to read and write to queues and databases can be traced in real time. The level of visibility and control can be adjusted from simple health monitoring, to include comprehensive tools that enable event correlation, root cause analysis, time dependent alerts, business process dashboarding, and other sophisticated management and monitoring functions.
Modern Systems’ Managed Services allow you to offload and customize the management, support, and maintenance of applications and the infrastructure they reside on while enabling simple and cost effective scalability to reduce the risk associated with increased system demand that accompanies future growth.

Data infrastructures are highly dynamic, with changes in accounts, configurations and patches occurring regularly. Within your data infrastructure you need to understand the data. Not all data is the same. You need to protect the data that is considered high risk. However, most organizations lack the centralized control or skilled resources to review changes systematically to determine if they have introduced security gaps. While there are no silver bullets, there are key steps organizations can take to understand and reduce their risk and lower TCO.
In this presentation, Luis Casco-Arias, Senior Product Manager for IBM Security Guardium, describes best practices for:
- Assessing vulnerabilities and exposures
- Locking down critical data in various environments
- Aligning remediation workflows to prevent breaches and policy violations
It's a Who, What, Where and Why behind cyber risk in today's modern era - how data breaches happen, why they happen, and what you can do to address them.
How can healthcare organizations effectively use and manage services and the cloud? This presentation outlines:
- Benefits you should expect;
- Risks to manage;
- Evaluating which managed services model fits best;
- Common factors that lead to successful achievement of goals.

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.
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).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Neil: Hello there and thanks for joining us. Today we’ll be taking a close look at the HealthData Repository and talking about all of the ways it can help your organization remove your risk, simplify your compliance and boost your cloud performance. We’ll leave some time at the end to take your questions, and you can also submit questions during the webinar through the chat feature. To mute your phone, <instructions>.
Neil: I’d like to introduce our speaker today. I’m Neil Wu Becker and I’ll be moderating our discussion. You’ll also be hearing from Kurt Hagerman, FireHost’s Chief Information Security Officer, on the specific security and compliance pain points your healthcare organization might be dealing with and how the HealthData Repository can help.
Neil: Now let’s take a look at our agenda today. We’ll be talking about typical healthcare IT challenges for organizations that handle sensitive medical and patient data. Then we’ll talk about what The HealthData Repository is, how it works and who can use it to solve their compliance and security challenges. Then we’ll move on and explore each of the solutions the HealthData Repository offers. Finally, we’ll have some time at the end to take your questions live.
Security is critical as cyber threats become more sophisticated
Compliance is difficult and complex
Organizations need peak Performance and 24/7 data availability
Expert Service is required to manage security to meet the compliance requirements
Business Continuity & Disaster Readiness are vital for organizations handling sensitive data
Neil: Kurt, I’ll turn the discussion over to you as we talk about those common challenges in Healthcare IT.
Kurt: Thanks, Neil.
Whether you’re a hospital, insurance carrier or IT consultant, compliance and security are no doubt your top priorities. Getting HIPAA compliant can be especially challenging for organizations.
Security is probably the most major challenge of all. Cyberthreats keep getting more sophisticated and hackers keep getting more cunning and creative. Organizations must protect their patients’ data.
Performance is another challenge. Companies with variable traffic often overbuy just to make sure their peak loads are handled. And healthcare organizations have to have their data accessible at all times.
That brings us to Service. Organizations often have difficulty juggling all of the business demands on IT and have to segment resources to handle compliance and security.
Finally, part of protecting your environment is making sure you have a strong Disaster Prevention plan, with uptime and business continuity in the event of a crisis.
I’m sure many of these sound familiar. And that’s where the HealthData Repository comes in – a game-changing solution for keeping healthcare data safe in the cloud
Neil: Kurt, who exactly can use the HealthData Repository? What kind of organization is going to benefit from this?
Kurt: If your healthcare application or database deals with regulated EHR and PHI data, HealthData Repository is for you.
Let’s talk about some real-world examples of what customers are experiencing out there and how this brings them faster audits, lower costs and reduced risk.
Hospitals, Dentists and Clinics – any organization providing patient care has significant HIPAA compliance and security needs. Think about the data involved here – test results, diagnostic codes, patient birthdates and billing information. Your average healthcare organization has to protect all of this data while maintaining uptime and performance – physicians need that data to make life or death decisions.
Cloud Application Vendors – when it comes to providing EHR solutions, costs, security requirements and compliance complexity can stall development. HealthcareData Repository can reduce risk and compliance scope with enterprise security and a HITRUST certified cloud. It offers agility and cost-effectiveness for next-gen technologies, all while offering the highest levels of security for HIPAA and other regulatory compliance.
Healthcare IT Consultants need to provide HIPAA compliance and security for their clients while facing pressure to reduce costs. HealthData Repository™ offers a secure, agile and affordable cloud that reduces risk and provides the security needed to comply with HIPAA and other regulatory requirements.
Clinical R&D Service Providers need security for large infrastructures and are also under pressure to reduce cost and accelerate delivery. HealthData Repository™ dramatically reduces provisioning time and hosting costs to support field clinical trials, while maintaining data sovereignty and reducing risk.
So you can see that really any organization that handles sensitive data can use The HealthData Repository to eliminate their compliance headaches and enjoy a smoother, safer cloud environment.

Now let’s take a look at some specific pain points your organization may be struggling with – and how The HealthData Repository can solve them.
Security is always on everyone’s mind. Cyberthreats are always evolving and criminals know healthcare IT is a rich source of data. Kurt, can you give us more detail on how HealthData Repository provides multiple layers of security?
Kurt:
Sure. Healthcare clouds must be secure – there’s no way around it. Patient records, medical data, billing information – all of this is subject to regulation. But many organizations just don’t have the specialized tools and security experience needed for that level of advanced protection.
HealthData Repository provides multiple countermeasures like Web application firewalls, IP reputation management, DDos mitigation and isolated SAN – and then it goes a step farther by providing a safe “vault” for your regulated data.
Because that data is decoupled from the regular IT environment, it’s removed from typical active directory permissions and common or expected data center locations – it stays protected even in the event of attack.
Even administrative access to that data is restricted, with controls that allow a special, segregated set of access permissions. Patients are fully protected, while providers enjoy uptime and immediate access to critical data.
The HealthData Repository is such a convenient tool for businesses that can’t manage this kind of protection in-house. You don’t need to hire additional staff and keep training them to understand the latest security techniques. We offer all of it and manage it for you.
Neil:
What about compliance? Obviously the price of a breach can be catastrophic – from brand damage to lost data and heavy fines, and of course, the loss of patient trust. But we’ve also talked about how HIPAA isn’t that prescriptive, and trying to keep up with the latest recommendations and implement the right security controls can leave organizations confused.
Kurt:
Neil, you’re correct – compliance is a major challenge for many healthcare IT organizations. That’s why Gartner recommends The HealthData Repository <I know they recommended Payment Island – can we say this about HDR?) –it makes compliance simple by reducing your risk, preventing fines and protecting your brand reputation. Because data is decoupled from your IT environments, your entire compliance scope is reduced. You stay auditor-ready, your staff’s burden is lightened, and audits go faster and at a lower cost.
I also want to say that the HealthData Repository is backed up by specialized compliance tools and 24/7 support by certified experts. Because FireHost understands the latest compliance requirements like the back of our hand, our customers can have the peace of mind of knowing they’re meeting all the necessary regulations.
Neil: so let’s talk about performance. I know this is very important in healthcare IT – physicians and other providers need access to medical to make critical decisions.
Kurt:
That’s right, Neil. Organizations also experience variable traffic, so performance is a big challenge. To prepare for the high traffic times, these organizations often buy enough infrastructure for their highest peak load – and as a result, they overpay and overbuy.
The HealthData Repository eliminates latency and scales to provide resources on demand - you pay only for what you need instead of wasting money on what you don’t. You get consistently high speed and performance. - since the cloud infrastructure is virtualized, your application and database will be protected from volatility with multiple intelligent scalability options. Everyone gets access to the data they need it, when they need it.
Autoscale - lets IT administrators pre-set parameters to add memory and processor resources to secure servers whenever they’re needed - without any human intervention. This is a fantastic solution for businesses that experience unexpected spikes or surges outside of normal business hours.
FluidScale - provides all the benefits of Autoscale – but enabling FluidScale takes it a step further so you no longer need a reboot to add those memory and processor units. This gives end users an even smoother experience, since it eliminates error messages and slow response times.
Neil: A common problem we hear from healthcare IT organizations is that they just don’t have the right staff or technology to manage all of this. They juggle so many business demands on IT and end up segmenting resources to handle compliance and security.
Kurt:
Neil, you’re correct. The HealthData Repository is designed as a one-stop solution that takes care of all security and compliance needs. This is fully managed service and support you’re getting – which means your organization can reduce specialized compliance/security efforts and focus on your core business functions, ultimately delivering better patient outcomes.
FireHost monitors both macro trends in attack vectors as well as regulatory changes. Our consultations and dashboards provide the real time information needed to keep you compliant and protected at every moment.
We do the work – and you enjoy multi-layered security, simplified processes and reduced compliance scope.
Neil:
Outages are always a problem when they happen - and we know from experience that they’ve happened to major brands like Twitter, Dropbox and Google. Not only are they expensive, but they can have a life or death impact in a healthcare environment. Whether it’s a natural disaster, outage or a breach, healthcare organizations must keep critical systems up and running.
Kurt:
That’s right. Every second counts when it comes to accessing medical data in the cloud. Organizations need consistent performance and reliable security. Because the HealthData Repository is highly redundant, it keeps system up and running. Redundancy is maximized with geographic uptime – and organizations can maintain business continuity even in the event of a disaster.
