Cybersecurity breaches in the government seem to be all over the news. The sheer number and wild variety of sources for these breaches led us to wonder what federal agencies are really dealing with. SolarWinds® partnered with leading government research provider Market Connections to survey 200 federal IT and IT security professionals to find out their top cybersecurity concerns and the obstacles they face when implementing IT security strategies.
The results of our survey include:
Detailed insight into the threats, challenges, and sources of cybersecurity breaches the government faces in its IT infrastructure
Top hindrances in the implementation of appropriate IT security tools
Strategies and courses of action being deployed by federal IT professionals to remediate cybersecurity threats
These results demonstrate that a broad and concerning range of cybersecurity threats plague government agencies. Federal IT pros must consider taking a more pragmatic and unified approach to addressing the availability, performance, and security of their infrastructures.

AFCEA Cybersecurity through Continuous Monitoring: SolarWinds Survey Results ...SolarWinds
WINNER: Overall Best In Show at 2014 AFCEA® Cyber Conference Solutions Trail
In a 2014 survey by SolarWinds and Market Connections, federal government and military IT professionals stated that their biggest cybersecurity threats are people both malicious external attackers and clueless insiders. So how do Federal IT Pros prevent activity that can put their agencies security at risk and address these living cybersecurity threats when human behavior is out of their
control? Implementing continuous monitoring solutions can help federal agencies safeguard against human error and quickly identify vulnerabilities, compliance issues and other threats by automatically collecting data and reporting on the performance, availability and security posture of an IT infrastructure. While continuous monitoring of the performance of networks, applications, servers, and
more will not stop hackers from attempting to infiltrate a network or stop careless employees from accidental blunders, it can provide a first line of defense and critical insight into how the IT infrastructure is impacted. In this session you will learn: " The top cybersecurity threats plaguing agencies today and their sources " The types of continuous monitoring tools and technologies that can be leveraged by both IT operations and information security simultaneously to quickly detect and mitigate threats " How to overcome common obstacles and frustrations agencies face when implementing continuous monitoring solutions and what benefits they see upon implementation.

Intense competition and slow growth in mature markets have magnified uncertainty and put pressure on costs, just as regulators are escalating their demands. Research shows that CFOs and other senior finance executives believe that their function can play a key role but the ability to impact these challenges depends on levels of maturity and preparedness, which vary widely across companies and industries, as well by sub-functions. Here are the key findings from our research on how enterprises are driving transformation to achieve business impact.
For today’s firm, change is constant. The ever-evolving realities of the profession inspired Wolters Kluwer to explore two major questions in our 2014 Accounting Firm Preparedness Survey. First, what trends will have the most significant impact on accounting firms and their clients over the next five years? Second, how well prepared are accountants to take advantage of these trends?
With recent dramatic changes in our global workforce, economy, and environment, the need for digital business transformation is now proven to be critical.
These slides—based on the webinar from leading IT research firm EMA and Redwood Software—explain why you should prioritize digital transformation in your organization and support those efforts with workload automation.

3gamma whitepaper the state of it service management in agile organizations (...Jens Ekberg
3gamma's whitepaper on The state of IT service management in agile organizations.
Swedish companies are struggling with the balance between governance, control and stability, and the need for greater innovation and flexibility. Conflicting forces are driving complexity. Regulatory requirements are increasing the demand for greater control and governance whilst at the same time customer demands are accelerating and changing. IT is caught in the middle – trying to balance stability, control and maintaining operations whilst, at the same time, delivering innovation.
3gamma has surveyed 100 IT leaders on how to manage the balance between control and innovation with a special focus on the perceived conflict between IT service management frameworks and agile methodologies.
An agile IT organization is not created through the adoption of an agile development methodology. There is no quick fix. Becoming a high-performing IT organization cannot be attributed to a single factor. It is done through focused execution of a business-driven IT strategy encompassing people, processes and technology.
3gamma’s survey shows that the issues experienced within the participating organizations can’t be attributed to any specific methodology or framework. They are generic and wide-spread.
From the financial sector, through retail, to media, the pre-requisites vary. The companies and organizations within 3gamma’s study that are successful in meeting their businesses’ requirements, regardless of size or industry, share a set of common traits:
* Customer centricity
* Communication
* Continuous improvement
* Removing obstacles

Future of business transformation market research summaryTieto Corporation
According to Tieto’s recent study on the future of business transformation, technology trends such as mobile, social media, M2M, big data and cloud are rapidly changing the ways in which we do business. A full third of respondents expect their industries to completely transform by 2020.
Among the CEOs interviewed, 42% say that the industry in which their organization operates will in six years’ time bear little resemblance to how it looks today. This transformation is caused by technology trends, such as mobile, social media, M2M, big data and cloud. At the moment, social and mobile are the most evident trends, as 54–55% of respondents call them “already crucial” for their business.
About the study
In fall 2013, Tieto conducted a study together with Kairos Future on the future of business transformation, based on qualitative and quantitative research. The study included an online survey, distributed to executives in Sweden, Norway and Finland, with 500 respondents. A majority of the respondents were members of the C-suite or business unit directors. The survey was supplemented by industry executive roundtable discussions, held in Stockholm, Oslo and Helsinki.

The 2022 CIO Survey Summary Report provides insight into the priorities, challenges, and opportunities facing IT leaders in the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries this year. Businesses across the world continue to face talent and labor shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies within the tech industry are no different. These shortages, combined with changes to the “normal” workplace environment, have resulted in many companies rethinking and assessing their current and future challenges, opportunities, and priorities within their IT departments. In late 2021, Clarkston Consulting conducted a CIO Market Study, aiming to better understand the current priorities and challenges of upper or C-Suite level IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies ($350M+ revenue) in the retail, CPG, manufacturing, or life science industries. The four key objectives for the 2022 CIO Survey were to:
Understand the overall relationship between IT and other departments within the company.
Understand current IT budget distribution, technologies/platforms used, and sources for technology-specific learning and development.
Identify attributes that are important in selecting outsourcing or managed services partners, a professional services provider, or a technology platform/vendor.
Determine priorities for the coming year and understand how COVID-19 has changed priorities in recent years.
Market Study Results
Through this CIO Market Study, Clarkston was able to gain valuable insight on the current status and perceptions of IT departments, including budget, ERP usage, investments, outsourced activities, and department health; department expectations, priorities, and plans for the upcoming year; and important attributes in outsourcing and managed services, among other key findings.
The results of this survey provide a detailed view of many of the challenges that IT departments across the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries continue to face, particularly as they navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace.

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).

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).
