It's easy to focus on all the ways 2929 has been a challenging year: the Covid-19 pandemic, a sputtering economy, and (for cybersecurity professionals) an explosion of new and increasingly dangerous cyberthreats.
Last year, the world experienced volatility as we have never seen. Business leaders had to adapt at a moment's notice, and stability was hard to come by. I have hope that in 2021, we will see a ruturn to normalcy, but the road ahead remains unpredictable.
We are now in the third year of the "Year of 5G." But really--this should be the actual Year of 5G! Years of marketing hype have resulted in a number of false starts for this exciting new mobile technology.
The challenges inherent in an architect’s role are only compounded when planning for the hybrid cloud. This is a long term planning exercise with short term deliverables — one thing we know for sure is that the modern enterprise will not tolerate a technology vacuum. A vacuum, after all, is what launched the multicloud phenomena to start with. - Abaram Network Solutions
Learning top cloud storage tips from the experts will help you to make the most of your storage, and use the tool effectively. Cloud has made it so much easier for creatives to access data safely from anywhere rather than having to carry around a pen drive or a massive external hard drive.
Moving data to the cloud can be a great way to save money. With costs that are measured in mere pennies per gigabyte, cloud storage may be much less expensive--not to mention more reliable and easier to manage--than on-premise storage infrastructure. Yet those pennies-per-gigabyte add up over time. If you’re not careful to control your cloud storage costs, you may end with a total storage bill that far exceeds what you were hoping for. - Abaram Network Solutions
This is according to data collected by the annual State of Multicloud Survey run by Turbonomic (that's out parent brand). The survey, using data collected from more than 800 global IT professionals, examines the state of multicloud adoption, its drivers and the technologies enabling it, including public cloud, containers, and edge computing.
Companies of all sizes are onboarding the cloud to efficiently run their processes. They’re being challenged to keep pace with enormous piles of data that can have an impact on business decisions. Differing analytics tools and unclear roles and functions are preventing organizations from making faster and better business decisions.

The role of the chief information security officer-or CISO for short- is to understand a corporation's cyber threat landscape and know where vulnerabilities lie.
2020 is a year we're not going to forget in a hurry. The Coronavirus pandemic has changed our lives entirely and created a perfect atmosphere for cyber attacks and security breaches.
As of September 2020, nearly 60% of full-time and part-time workers in the U.S. were doing their jobs remotely at least some of the time during the coronavirus pandemic. And many of them would like to keep doing so.
Software-defined perimeter, or SDP, is a relatively new technology that offers significant improvements in network security when compared with a fixed perimeter, SDP products are new, and the process for implementing the technology is still being developed.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

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).

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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
