The words "digital transformation" appear everywhere today. I use them in
discussions daily. They describe the era we live in - an era where the rules
of business, strategies and the pace of business have changed. In this era
the manner in which we operate our businesses, and interact with our
customers, suppliers, employees, partners and even physical objects have
changed. This new era is different. We feel urgency for more information,
deeper insights, faster operational tempos and business agility. We
recognize a need for change, but to what?
I propose that it is important to understand how we got to the era of digital
transformation. What path led us here? What are the contributing
factors? For that purpose, let's begin by considering how we moved over the
past decade from a commercial environment full of disconnected unknowns, to
the world of connected known... (more)

The Future of Security in the Cloud
Download Slide Deck: ▸ Here
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are increasing at an unprecedented rate.
The threat landscape of today is drastically different than just a few years
ago. Attacks are much more organized and sophisticated.
They are harder to detect and even harder to anticipate. In the foreseeable
future it's going to get a whole lot harder.
Everything you know today will change. Keeping up with this changing
landscape is already a daunting task.
Your organization needs to use the latest tools, methods and expertise to
guard against those threats.
But will that be enough? In the foreseeable future attacks will originate
from entirely new attack platforms.
The tools and methods you use today will not protect you from the threats you
will face tomorrow.
Your security experts will be no match for this new threat. Whe... (more)
I'm happy to announce my appointment by SYS-CON to be the Technical Chair of
the 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo. This event is a 1-day deep
dive into how cloud computing is changing the way that Federal agencies

developments in Tactical Cloud Computing. This technology branch refers to
the use of cloud computing technology and techniques for the support of
localized and short-lived information access and processing requirements. Use
cases could include:
“Cloudbursting” to support cyclic data processing requirements;

There is a common misconception that CMMI and Agile are polar opposites. One
relies on institutionalization and documentation of processes and
methodologies, while the other emphasizes interaction among workers and
“working software over comprehensive documentation” (Agile Manifesto).
Process documentation and institutionalization is the lifeblood of CMMI, and
it is often used in critical software development life cycles. On the other
hand, the Agile approach is called into action when a project features
incremental changes, particularly those that have not been included in
initial requirement documents.
There have been criticisms of both, as well: CMMI is used only in
security-intensive projects that need massive numbers of workers, layers of
procedures, and a rigid development lifecycle. On the other hand, those who
implement Agile have been referred to as an und... (more)

The resulting terms may capture a common set of aspirations and goals – as “cloud” did broadly for on-demand, self-service, and flexible computing. But such a term can also lump together diverse and even competing practices, technologies, and priorities to the point where important distinctions are glossed over and lost.

Almost a year ago, I wrote these words, "Technology has reached the tipping point for me, it moved from a help to a hindrance." The plethora of adrenaline- and endorphin-inducing mobile apps, 24x7 news, notifications, alerts and updates, drip fed my brain and hindered my "deep work and deep thoughts." In Cal Newport's new book titled, Deep Work he posits that most knowledge workers need concentration and substantial time, dedicated and uninterrupted, to produce their best work. He argues that a lot of technologies and open office layouts today inhibit creativity, "deep work" and "deep thoughts...
There are many companies offering network monitoring solutions to small, medium and big companies. The question is: is installing a monitoring software in our IT infrastructure really economically viable? Here we will touch some key points, which are directly affected by network monitoring software. 
The 2017 procurement landscape has its own impressive retinue of decision bots, automated processes, and data-driven insights.
The next BriefingsDirect technology innovation thought leadership discussion explores how rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are poised to reshape procurement -- like a fast-forwarding to a once-fanciful vision of the future.
There’s a funny thing about digital transformation: we are simultaneously over-hyping it and understating it. On the one hand, every tech company in the world is talking about it. It doesn’t matter how mundane the technology; every company is somehow relating their products to digital transformation.
On the other, many people are failing to grasp the import and impact of what digital transformation really means. In far too many cases, business and IT leaders are dismissing it as nothing more than a marketing ploy. The unfortunate result is that the over-hypedness of digital transformation i...
Cyberattacks are relentless. The pace of attacks shows no sign of slowing, and organizations understand that 100 percent prevention of attacks is not possible. Traditional prevention and detection techniques are falling short, and security professionals are scrambling for new paradigms that can more effectively detect attacks and mitigate the growing levels of damage.
In this climate of confusion, deception-based solutions offer a viable and proven way to stop attackers in their tracks. Why? Because instead of sitting back and waiting to be the victim, detection technologies let organizations...
The developments in Google’s Cloud Computing segment, especially the Cloud Machine Learning service, have been so rapid that Google calls it one of its fastest growing product areas. Google has been ramping up their Cloud Platform quite aggressively in recent months. Just a few weeks ago, the Google Cloud Platform opened its newest zone in Tokyo, increasing the total number of regions they are present in to six - three in the US and one each in Belgium and Taiwan and Tokyo.
Not long ago, the company announced its acquisition of Orbitera, a cloud commerce company. for more than a hundred mil...
For large enterprise organizations, it can be next-to-impossible to identify attacks and act to mitigate them in good time. That’s one of the reasons executives often discover security breaches when an external researcher — or worse, a journalist — gets in touch to ask why hundreds of millions of logins for their company’s services are freely available on hacker forums.
The huge volume of incoming connections, the heterogeneity of services, and the desire to avoid false positives leave enterprise security teams in a difficult spot. Finding potential security breaches is like finding a tiny ne...
Almost three years ago, VMware introduced the world to its virtual SAN. This new solution enabled customers to use storage within ESXi servers without the need for external storage – an exciting promise for organizations that wanted to quickly scale their virtual storage. Now, it’s time to check in on this technology and see if it’s living up to its promise.
VMware became a player in the storage array and software market when it launched vSAN. Server admins were looking forward to using vSAN because it gave them a symmetrical architecture that did not require external storage, thus being able...
Monitoring of Docker environments is challenging. Why? Because each container typically runs a single process, has its own environment, utilizes virtual networks, or has various methods of managing storage. Traditional monitoring solutions take metrics from each server and applications they run. These servers and applications running on them are typically very static, with very long uptimes. Docker deployments are different: a set of containers may run many applications, all sharing the resources of one or more underlying hosts. It's not uncommon for Docker servers to run thousands of short-te...
It is not often that movies and television shows give viewers the opportunity to explore the world of hacking and digital security in a realistic manner. After two seasons, "Mr. Robot" has attracted its share of IT professionals as well as average citizens.

The critically acclaimed television series offers fictional situations rather than documentary evidence. However, the plots and actions of both the security engineers and hackers are realistic enough th...
We've come across a lot of talk about "cloud-native" apps lately. (They even have their own foundation!) Developers build these apps specifically to run on a cloud-based infrastructure, with the kind of user interface we all expect from our apps now. Cloud-native applications are scalable, usable and flexible, usually packaged using containers.
It's a step further in the cloud computing journey, and a step away from the way we used to conceive of apps. Application development happened for many years inside an IT bubble, with a long development and deployment lifecycle. They were used only i...
The cloud promises new levels of agility and cost-savings for Big Data, data warehousing and analytics. But it’s challenging to understand all the options – from IaaS and PaaS to newer services like HaaS (Hadoop as a Service) and BDaaS (Big Data as a Service). In her session at @BigDataExpo at @ThingsExpo, Hannah Smalltree, a director at Cazena, provided an educational overview of emerging “as-a-service” options for Big Data in the cloud. This is critical background for IT and data professionals, as experts estimate that “as-a-service” cloud sourcing will increase from today’s 15% to 35% by 20...
Pokeman Go has been a raging success. But its launch was marred by frequent downtimes and dropped connections. In a recent chat at the Google Cloud Platform Next Conference, Niantic CTO Phil Keslin talked about the “hair on fire” experience where the team had to firefight and upgrade key components on the live production system in order to handle the unexpected surge in new users joining in. Among the various upgrades made to the system, Niantic had to replace the network load balancer with a much more sophisticated HTTP/S load balancing system that could handle a larger overall throughput and...
Modern organizations typically use several IT tools to monitor their applications, networks and other IT components in real time. Unfortunately, this leads to independent data islands, which creates a one-dimensional view of IT. In order to make strategic decisions, organizations need an IT operational analytics tool to analyze data from multiple sources, spot trends and make better decisions.
