The Five Myths of Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery Axcient
A recent study by the Disaster Recovery Preparedness Council highlighted a disturbing fact: three out of four companies worldwide are failing in terms of disaster readiness. The impact IT interruptions have range from thousands of dollars to millions of dollars.
No wonder the “cloud” is having such an attraction and why businesses are rethinking their recovery strategies. However, what is preventing companies from fully adopting cloud solutions for disaster recovery? We believe that there are five myths surrounding cloud-based recovery services that have to be dispelled.
NERC Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) and Security for Field DevicesSchneider Electric
The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) maintains a set of Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP) guidelines that address a broad range of critical cyber asset and cyber security issues. These guidelines describe the security-focused procedures that, in combination with compliant technology, enable secure electric grid operations. The CIP guidelines do not specify the technologies that must be deployed. Instead, they describe the technology design necessary to build an information management architecture that complies with security goals.
These goals include the minimizing of administrative authorization needed for operational functions. Rights and privileges are to be assigned to a functional role, not a named individual. Audit trails of field data device and substation activity, similar to control room auditability, must be maintained to assure comprehensive confidence in data and controls.
The six CIP guidelines summarized in the paper speak to the procedures and policies that are vital to critical cyber asset security – personnel authorizations; personnel training; security of the information management system’s electronic perimeter; security of the information management system’s physical assets; operational security; and incident reporting and response planning.
The utility builds its CIP-compliant program with defined procedures addressing these guidelines, coupled with the hardware and software that enable full implementation of these procedures. Training of all personnel is necessary for effective and efficient compliance.

Moving Forward Faster: How Monash University Automated Data on AWS with Commv...Amazon Web Services
Monash University, supporting 70,000+ students across 150 fields with over 1000 total IP professionals, sought to empower its central IT department and enhance organizational efficiency by modernizing its infrastructure. To do so, Monash set an aggressive timeline to move more than 150 terabytes of data from its on-premises datacenter – including 3,000+ virtual machines – to the AWS Cloud. Constrained by its existing data management solution, Monash University implemented Commvault on AWS for a simplified, comprehensive data management solution.
We are using data at a record pace. This directly impacts data centers and how they manage the increase in demand. Check out the data center trends for 2014.
The electric power grid has changed significantly over the past decade and continues to change as technology evolves. More and more, new-generation substation control systems are based on open standards and commercial technology, including Ethernet and TCP/IP based communication protocols such as IEC 60870-5-104, DNP 3.0 or IEC 61850. While this change in technology has brought about huge operational benefits, it has introduced cyber security concerns and a potential challenge to network reliability. Electronic intrusion into a substation can misdirect or terminate service, and this intrusion can be from internal individuals or external hackers or organizations.
Many substation control and diagnostic systems in deployment were not designed for real-time security functionality and centralized system administration with robust access control. Utilities must implement policies to protect their substation systems against intrusion from within and from outside the corporate network. Further, they must be able to detect intrusion when it does occur to eliminate future untoward effects. Finally, they need to be prepared with planned response and restoration that not only returns targeted functionality but can improve system security.
The global power industry has stepped up its focus on cyber security for control and automation systems, and standards are in place identifying the functionalities required for secure substation operation. Utilities looking to protect against cyber attack on their substation automation systems must implement the SCADA, RTU and IED solutions that incorporate proven-technology and the security mechanisms meeting these standards.

CA Infrastructure Management 2.0 vs. Solarwinds Orion: Speed and ease of mana...Principled Technologies
Infrastructure and operations support time is valuable, and every second is critical when a performance, capacity or application response issue begins to manifest. A management, alerting, and root cause analysis system that allows staff to quickly locate and troubleshoot a problem is key to providing five-nines uptime SLAs, as well as keeping a business’s own staff working at peak efficiency.
In our tests, we found that CA Infrastructure Management 2.0 outperformed the SolarWinds Orion tools in tests of ease of use and required-time-to-complete. The testing demonstrated timing wins for CA Technologies in our four simulated scenarios, by factors of 2.3 to 11.4 times over SolarWinds Orion.
When managing large-scale infrastructures, the ability to efficiently triage a large number of devices and network links is essential for maintaining high availability, consistent performance and routine business operations. This is particularly evident when calculating the aggregate time saved when performing the same operations multiple times in a given day. Over time, these aggregate figures can lead to significant savings of time and money for your organization.

Pros And Cons Of Cloud-Based Security Solutions.pptxMetaorange
Computer, network, and, more generally, data security have a growing subfield in Cloud Computing security, often known as cloud-based security. It, too, protects separate groups within a population by encrypting data in a structured hierarchy. There are significant risks and impediments to using cloud services, even though there are solid reasons for their use.
The truth is that your customers don’t care about backup. They care about recovery.
In this webinar, backup specialist Christophe Bertrand of Arcserve will talk about on simplifying backup and discuss the key things you need to focus on when providing disaster recovery services to today’s businesses.
Join Christophe and the N-able team as we cover:
• The impact of downtime on an average business and how to minimize data loss
• Taking the complexity out of backup and talking about what matters
• How you can measure data protection and meet your SLA
Are your backups are too big, and do they take too long? Are you worried you won’t get all of your data back? Do you waste hours managing complicated, temperamental backup implementations? Join is as we discuss innovative ways to improve your backups, make them more predictable, shrink backup windows, over-perform on SLAs, and reliably recover your data—every time, on time. Hear how other organizations are developing smarter backup strategies that align their recovery requirements to their business objectives, reduce stored data by up to 95% while boosting backup speeds as much as 200%.
When it comes to backup and recovery, backup performance numbers rule the roost. It’s understandable really: far more data gets backed up than ever gets restored, and backup length is one of most difficult problems facing administrators today. But a reliance on backup numbers alone is dangerous. Recovery may not happen as frequently as daily backup but recovery is the entire reason for backup. Backing up because everyone does it isn’t good enough.

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.

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.

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).

Your data is valuable and the lifeblood of your business.
Your backup and disaster recovery plans should have an
answer for each of these questions: What happens if you
can’t reach your data? If someone hacks into your network
or datacenter and holds your data as Ransomware,
what are your options, and can you recover? If, due
to human error, one single key stroke wipes out your
entire database… do you have a way to quickly restore

DEPLOYMENT MODELS
CLIENT MODEL 1
To address smaller deployments and/or geographically
dispersed offices that have smaller Backup Data sizes,
adequate network bandwidth, and perhaps Office 365, NEC
offers Client Model 1. In this model, Agents are loaded on
all systems and backups are initiated by NEC from each
software instance. Data on the individual instance is
encrypted and sent to NEC’s data center in Iron Mountain.
Deduplication of data is performed at the instance,
ensuring that subsequent backups are only of
incremental data.
CLIENT MODEL 2
To address larger centralized deployments, that have
multiple server-based applications as well as on-site clients,
NEC offers Client Model 2. In this model, an NEC Physical
or Virtual Appliance is placed into the client environment.
Agents are loaded on all systems and backups are initiated
by NEC from each instance, however sent directly to the
NEC Virtual Appliance.
NEC’S UNIVERGE BLUE® Virtual Appliance performs
3 key functions:
1. Provides rapid Backup Restoration without sending
data across the external network
2. Deduplicates data that resides across all systems in the
environment, reducing external network bandwidth,
and reducing storage costs
3. Encrypts data before sending across the external
network
Application, Data, and Snapshot
backups use encryption and
individual deduplication to
transfer data directly to NEC.
Dedicated BaaS (and optional
DRaaS) is delivered using best
practices on NEC infrastructure
for redundancy and security.
Data is encrypted at rest and
housed in one of the world’s
most secure data centers.
NEC Appliance is deployed
on-prem at the client location.
Application and snapshot
backups are stored locally
and then duplicated to
compress data before it is
securely transmitted to NEC.
