Progress Launches First Vendor-Agnostic Hybrid Data Gateway at @CloudExpo | @ProgressSW #BigData #Analytics #AI #DX

Join us at Cloud Expo June 6-8 to find out how to securely connect your cloud app to any cloud or on-premises data source - without complex firewall changes. More users are demanding access to on-premises data from their cloud applications. It's no longer a "nice-to-have" but an important differentiator that drives competitive advantages. It's the new "must have" in the hybrid era. Users want capabilities that give them a unified view of the data to get closer to customers and grow business. They're dealing with greater volumes of data than ever before, and much of this resides behind corporate firewalls. Traditional approaches for exposing this data, such as VPN and SSH tunneling are difficult to manage and not engineered for the cloud. If you want to create a frictionless data access experience for your customers, join us at Cloud Expo, June 6-8 in New York City.... (more)

Network Security Today | @CloudExpo #Cloud #AI #SDN #Security #Analytics

In its 2017 State of Malware Report, Malwarebytes Labs recorded a 267 percent increase in ransomware between January 2016 and November 2016, with over 400 different variants in total. The report noted that while malware authors mostly relied on ransomware to make the bulk of their revenues, there was an increase in ad fraud as well. Botnets and mobile malware also continue to expand and evolve. The report predicts that until IoT devices become secure out of the box, botnets will get even bigger and pose an even greater threat to the internet - and any company connected to it. Financial services organizations are facing a relentless and determined cyber assault. Many recent factors have converged to create greater complexity and threat opportunity in the network, undermining the effectiveness of security prevention solutions. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) can act as a... (more)

Insource or Outsource the SOC | @CloudExpo #AI #SOC #Security #Analytics

These days attacks are becoming more sophisticated and more common. Mobile devices, cloud computing and the Internet of Things have increased the number of access points that must be secured. To complicate matters, CISOs are been directed to secure system without compromising the seamless experience that customers expect across channels, and if the organization is in a regulated industry, compliance issues likely increase the team's workload. To best detect threats and respond to incidents quickly, many organizations decide they need a security operations center to provide proper protection and continuous prevention. Then they must decide whether to build an internal Security Operations Center (SOC) or outsource. Advantages and Disadvantages of an Internal SOC The advantages of building an internal SOC include: A dedicated staff that knows the particular environment a... (more)

[session] #IoT Devices and #Cybersecurity | @ThingsExpo @Battelle #AI #M2M

Cybersecurity Software Development Best Practices Cybersecurity is a critical component of software development in many industries including medical devices. However, code is not always written to be robust or secure from the unknown or the unexpected. This gap can make medical devices susceptible to cybersecurity attacks ranging from compromised personal health information to life-sustaining treatment. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Clark Fortney, Software Engineer at Battelle, will discuss how programming oversight using key methods can increase the cybersecurity of medical device code to prevent weaknesses and vulnerabilities from being introduced into a device. These include automatic code scanners, runtime analysis, following coding standards, and binary analysis tools to monitor for unexpected behavior.
