THE FOURTH 4 TH INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION’S EFFECT ON THE ENTERPRISE CYBER STRATEGYIJMIT JOURNAL
The Fourth (4th) Industrial Revolution represents the profound advancement of technology that will likely transform the boundaries between the digital and physical worlds in modern society. The impact of advance technology will disrupt almost every aspect of business and government communities alike. In the past few years, the advancement of information technologies has opened the door to artificial intelligence (AI), block chain technologies, robotics, virtual reality and the possibility of quantum computing being released in the commercial sector. The use of these innovative technologies will likely impact society by leveraging modern technological platforms such as cloud computing and AI. This also includes the release of 5G network technologies by Internet Service Providers (ISP) beginning in 2019. Networks that rely upon 5G technologies in combination with cloud computing platforms will open the door allow greater innovations and change the nature of how work is performed in the 4th Industrial Revolution.
This business report aims to examine the challenge that emerging Cloud-Computing brought to IT industry and IBM. The author will use SWOT and revised Yip’s framework to analyze and identify the competitive strengths and weakness of IBM. The final section of this report will provide strategic recommendation and end user expectation.

New Horizons - 2019 State of IT Training ReportTynan Fischer
New Horizon’s 2019 State of IT Training report
features responses from 1,514 IT professionals and
decision-makers to help you navigate the challenges,
opportunities and skills gaps facing the IT industry.
What technologies are companies adding in 2019
and beyond? Which training methods have the
highest return? What types of IT training should
businesses prioritize to remain competitive?
Discover how companies are approaching IT training
in 2019 and what you can do to future-proof your
workforce or career today.
This independent report was commissioned by Savvis in April 2010. The research surveyed CIOs, IT Directors and Heads of IT in the USA, UK and Singapore from medium to large enterprises and the public sector.
In CompTIA's research on the state of IT skills gap, 68% of IT firms report having a "very challenging" time finding new staff. They are hiring, with 33% saying they are understaffed and another 42% saying they are fully staffed but want to hire more in order to expand. How are today's IT skills matching up to industry's workforce needs?
As demand for digital talent reaches a crescendo, CIOs are increasingly embracing an Uber-like approach to filling key technical roles throughout their organizations.
Many financial sector firms are realizing that the “cloud” can be used for purposes other than the conventional wisdom which was restricted to only back office and administrative systems. This session will focus on how cloud computing can be used in connection with core operations. What developments can we expect to see in the clouds in the near term? Long term? This session will explore available options and the trajectory of the “cloud.”
In this advanced business analysis training session, you will learn RPA. Topics covered in this session are:
• What is RPA?
• Making Office Productive
• Consequences
• Automation

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.

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
In his public lecture, Christian Timmerer provides insights into the fascinating history of video streaming, starting from its humble beginnings before YouTube to the groundbreaking technologies that now dominate platforms like Netflix and ORF ON.

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:

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

19. Flexible Staffing Means Cost-Effective Staffing Traditional staffing Cost-effective staffing Think “job.” Think tasks and responsibilities that are directly tied to business goals and enhance the company’s ability to compete. Create a set of job specifications. Determine which competencies and skills are necessary to produce outstanding performance in any particular function. Look mainly for technical competence. Find people who are technically qualified but also have the soft skills and other competencies needed to support the company’s mission and values. Base the hiring decision primarily on the interview. View the interview as only one of a series of tools to make the best hire. Hire only full-time employees. Consider a blend of full-time and project workers to meet variable workload needs. Start from scratch when hiring candidates for full-time positions. Use contract-to-full-time arrangements to observe job candidates and evaluate their readiness to assume ongoing responsibilities firsthand.
