10 Observations on Using Technology for SMCR - Senior Managers and Certificat...Corporater
Many organizations are considering and evaluating the use of technology to map and manage the status of regulatory responsibilities for senior managers as per the FCA Senior Manager's Regime. Companies end up internally developing systems that do not meet best practices in technology, or using learning management systems or systems built for continuous professional development (CPD) to cover the regulatory requirements, or adopting a solution that cannot produce a comprehensive SMCR organogram that clearly visualizes the regime!
The 10 observations on how technology is being selected and utilized for SMCR will help you avoid the usual mistakes, and adopt technology in a way that it can play a critical role in both administering the regime and monitoring compliance. For more information on SMCR software that provides active management of regime responsibilities through powerful workflow, collaboration, and risk management capabilities, along with the ability to connect to other underlying HR, compliance, legal, risk or program management systems, please visit https://corporater.com/smcr

five AI applications for ITSM that you need to know.markomdcms
Virtual agents using natural language processing can provide faster self-service access to users for common issues. AI can automatically identify, categorize, prioritize, and assign tickets to the appropriate technician to reduce time spent on manual classification and allocation. Operational tasks like priority setting and assigning technicians consume 70-80% of service desk resources, but AI can automate repetitive activities to save time. AI can also aggregate data around an issue to help technicians more quickly pinpoint the root cause. AI/ML models can flag anomalies during changes to help managers foresee and prevent potential issues.

DevOps in Practice: When does "Practice" Become "Doing"?Michael Elder
DevOps has emerged as the hot trend in development buzzword-ology. With a few quick paragraphs, it proposes to decimate all of the traditional problems you've encountered during your development experience.
In IBM UrbanCode, we build products to help customers follow good DevOps practices. You may think DevOps is about the release process, but really it's about applying a mix of automation and operational practices earlier in your development life cycle so that rolling out to production becomes easier. DevOps promotes a focus on small-batch changes over large complex updates which are harder to predict and harder to roll back when problems occur. With greater velocity, rolling out smaller changes becomes more common place. Additionally, IBM UrbanCode makes extensive application of cloud technology that intercepts well with practices in DevOps around production-like environments.
In this talk, Michael Elder describes how we practice DevOps internally with a mixture of IBM-built and open source tools. He'll discuss the areas that we do well and the challenges that we have with changing our culture around areas like test automation. On top of that, he'll describe how you can leverage these approaches in your own development process!
Industry Perspective: DevOps - What it Means for the Average BusinessMichael Elder
This document discusses how DevOps and software defined environments can help average businesses accelerate product and service innovation. It describes the challenges traditional development and operations teams face in keeping up with faster release cycles. The document then covers DevOps as a journey involving people, processes, and technology to improve communication between teams and provide continuous delivery. Software defined environments help manage risk by treating infrastructure changes like application changes through automation.
Over the past 18 months, 5 commercial nuclear reactors in the US have begun decommissioning and 4 are continuing active decommissioning activities. Recent retirements have prompted questions about whether the nuclear industry is facing an unprecedented period of decline or if it is prepared to handle multiple decommissioning projects simultaneously. However, the industry has experienced similar challenges in the past, including periods in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s when several reactors were shut down. To date, 11 major nuclear facilities in the US have been fully decommissioned and their sites released for unrestricted use, and significant progress has also been made at several other sites. The presentation provides an overview of decommissioning activities at the Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power

This document summarizes an application portfolio rationalization methodology based on a book by Prashant Halari, Sushil Paigankar, Hitesh Salla, and Rajaram Vengurlekar. The methodology aims to establish a quantitative baseline to make prudent management decisions regarding applications. It ensures proper business-IT alignment by prioritizing applications that need attention and determining management options. The methodology involves selecting participants, collecting data, analyzing applications, categorizing them, validating categorizations with stakeholders, and developing a roadmap. Lessons learned include treating it as a broader decision process and measuring applications over their lifecycles.
The document discusses the first stage of an IT optimization methodology called Portfolio Rationalization. This stage involves inventorying the current application and technology portfolio, mapping applications to business capabilities, and analyzing the portfolio against criteria to identify opportunities for standardization, consolidation, and modernization. The goal is to rationalize the portfolio to reduce complexity, costs and risk while improving support for business strategies.
How To Reduce Application Support & Maintenance Cost HCL Technologies
The Gartner report contains 5 Alternative Ideas for Applications Management. Learn how to proactively reduce Application support & maintenance cost and impact business performance.
With the continual media focus on Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud Services, IT executives can be forgiven for forgetting that a high percentage of existing IT spends remains locked in the management of the existing IT stage. If current approaches to managing IT are not transformed, they will continue to remain locked. The only successful strategy deployed by many organization is the squeeze their IT services providers for incremental discounts. A recent Gartner report stated that "on average in 2012, 35% of IT spending was on applications, 55% was on infrastructure and the remaining 10% was on IT management, finance and administration activities. 50% of an application's cost across its lifecycle is support and maintenance. IT leaders are faced with a paradox of shrinking budgets but a business imperative to grow. Given that fewer than 20% of organizations have an application services strategy, ASM suddenly becomes a big budgetary blind spot
HCL has created a radical new approach. It has combines various industry-leading best practices, including LEAN process Management Principles with focused automation and unstained knowledge reuse for the support and maintenance of applications while creating incremental value for business every day with guaranteed cost reductions: Alternate Applications Support and Maintenance or ALT ASM.
In summary ALT ASM seeks to:
1) understand the cause of ‘work’ in Application Support
2) Stop the ‘work’ arising in the first instance
3) Manage the ‘work’ more effectively when it has arisen
ALT ASM engagements are substantially forward-looking. They continuously monitor applications to identify functional and technical re-engineering requirements. Dynamic business demand for enhanced functionality of legacy applications is met through staffing flexibility. Reduced It complexity is attained by identify redundant applications for decommissioning. The application portfolio is kept lean and total cost of ownership (TCO) is kept low.
More importantly, ALT ASM includes the monitoring of both IT key performance indicators and business process KPIs. Using business process and application visibility tools and process watch dashboards, ALT ASM is able to align IT systems to business processes. ALT ASM propagates alternative thinking of proactively reducing incidents and putting business process first.
VP of APM, Aruna Ravichandran of CA Technologies walks you through what Application Performance Management really is and discusses some of the major benefits of using the software.

View this presentaition to learn how BMC ITSM solutions build concepts, such as, extensibility, automation, and collaboration directly into the technology platform to help companies overcome challenges faced by many service management organisations.
The document discusses how managing software assets through software asset management (SAM) can improve IT cost management. SAM involves tracking what software a company owns, how it is being used, and whether license contracts allow for shared use, and determining if the correct number of licenses have been purchased. SAM provides benefits like cost efficiency by avoiding over- or under-purchasing licenses, cost effectiveness by making licenses available for their best use, and risk avoidance by tracking licenses to avoid audit fines. The document outlines the typical lifecycle of a software asset from planning to retirement and how implementing SAM requires tools that can discover, record, and report on various license types and usage patterns.

M. Josephs - Reaching for the Clouds - Final for DistributionMichael Josephs
This document discusses the opportunities and challenges of moving StrataCare's SaaS platform StrataWare to a public cloud. It notes the promise of lower costs and improved efficiencies but also challenges like existing sunk costs in current infrastructure, platform changes needed, and ensuring privacy of protected health information in the public cloud given regulatory requirements. It outlines StrataCare's current approach, which includes monitoring legislation, training, evaluating hybrid public/private models, and point solutions to address PHI security risks. The goal is to improve while meeting all compliance and contractual obligations regarding data privacy.
The document proposes a new cloud computing paradigm called data protection as a service (DPaaS) to address user concerns about data security and privacy in the cloud. DPaaS is a suite of security primitives offered by a cloud platform to enforce data security, privacy, and provide evidence of privacy for data owners even if applications are compromised. This reduces per-application effort to provide data protection while allowing for rapid development. The architecture achieves economies of scale by amortizing expertise costs across applications. DPaaS uses techniques like encryption, logging, and key management to securely store data in the cloud.

The document discusses key government initiatives and best practices related to cloud computing. It provides an overview of the new administration's approach to leveraging cloud-based services. It also outlines some of the challenges with traditional on-premise applications and how cloud computing addresses issues around costs, utilization, and workforce mobility.
Business Continuity for Mission Critical ApplicationsDataCore Software
Unplanned interruption events, a.k.a. “disasters,” hit virtually all data centers at one time or another. While the preponderance of annual downtime results from interruptions that have a limited or localized scope of impact, IT planners must also prepare for the possibility of a catastrophic event with a broader geographical footprint.
Such disasters cannot be circumvented simply by using high availability configurations in servers or storage. What is needed, especially for mission-critical applications and databases, are strategies that can help organizations prevail in the wake of “big footprint” disasters, but that can also be implemented in a more limited way in response to interruption events with a more limited impact profile.
DataCore Software’s storage platform provides several capabilities for data protection and disaster recovery that are well-suited to today’s most mission-critical databases and applications.

Choices in Systems Acquisition and Risks, Security
Systems Acquisition
Options to consider when acquiring a new system are, development in-house, outsourcing, licensing, software as a service (SaaS), and having users develop the system. There are trade-offs to consider for each option. In-house development has several advantages to consider such as a good fit to organizational need and culture, dedicated maintenance, since the developers are accessible within the company, seamless interface, when the system is custom-made for an organization special requirements can be implemented to ensure that it has proper interfaces with other systems, and specialized security, special security measures can be integrated into an application. Additionally, there is a potential for strategic advantage. Some of the disadvantages of in-house development are, high cost, a long wait for development personnel, who might be busy with other projects and the application may be excessively organization specific to integrate with other systems.
Outsourcing
Advantages of outsourcing are improved financial planning sense outsourcing enables a client to know the exact costs of IT functions over the period of a contract. Another advantage is reduced license and maintenance fee discounts. Outsourcing gives businesses an opportunity to increase their attention to the core business by letting experts manage IT. Outsourcing also provides shorter implementation time as IT vendors can in most cases complete a new application in less time than in-house development. A reduction in personnel as another advantage as IS salaries and benefits are expensive. Outsourcing increases access to highly qualified knowledge. Clients can tap into the IT vendor’s knowledge and experience gained by working with many clients in different environments.
Some of the risks of outsourcing IT services are a loss of control, a loss of experienced employees, outsourcing involves transferring organizations employees to the highest vendor, the risk of losing competitive advantage outsourcing the development of strategic systems is the same as disclosing trade secrets. Another disadvantage is high price despite careful pre-contractual calculations companies find that outsourcing cost them significantly more than if they had spent their resources on in-house development.
Licensing
Benefits of licensing software are immediate system availability, low price (the license fee), available support, and high quality. Immediate availability shortens the time from when a decision is made to acquire the new system and when the new system begins to be productive. The product is high qual ...

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

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:

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.

3. “ On average 10% of applications in an unoptimized portfolio are candidates for retirement. An additional one-third can require migration or rationalization”. - Jim Duggan, Gartner analyst (Plan Legacy Application Retirements carefully, April 2009) Application Retirement is part of Application Portfolio Management that must be undertaken on a continuing basis since applications often outlive their usefulness. However, one may need to retain and manage legacy data from such applications which are candidates for retirement.
