Security at Cloud Expo
Cloud Computing Expo - Modern inter-networked software architecture created
for today's "on-demand" business needs have fundamentally increased the
susceptibility of applications and, more important, data to security-related
attacks and compromises.
The rapidly changing environment: increased data breach/loss incidents,
increased number of regulations and compliance requirements, potential
liability/litigation concerns and erosion of reputation and public confidence
provides ample drivers for development teams to have a security mindset.
No longer should application architects and administrators simply be content
with perimeter/border controls such as firewall, IDS and other static
defenses. Instead, a more holistic perspective needs to be taken in the
approach towards application security - throughout the entire software
development lifecycl... (more)

This will be the last [at least for a while] post in the SOA Security Series,
and I want to conclude by sharing my vision and some recommendations and best
practices (most of them fairly common sense) that I have noticed, stole and
otherwise accumulated while working in this field. But before we start, I
would like to fill the gap that I left in my earlier postings by never
providing a
Definition of Secure SOA
Secure SOA is an approach to implement SOA which by design ensures trust
throughout the SOA ecosystem (including services, consumers, composite
applications and infrastructure) by addressing some or all of the following
security aspects:
Authentication Authorization Integrity Confidentiality Accountability
(monitoring, logging, audit, non-repudiation) Identity (federation,
provisioning, trust brokering) Security Policies
It is also worth mentioning that I firm... (more)

Ever since I first published here my tentative list of Top 50 Bloggers on
Cloud Computing it became clear that an expansion would be needed before too
long. Thanks to community feedback via my Twitter account
(http://twitter.com/jg21) here goes - just three months before Cloud
Expo Silicon Valley (November 7-10) - with an expanded roster, listed as
before in alphabetical order since I am making no attempt at this stage to
rank the various blogs, merely to map - and celebrate - their existence.

The security community has a growing number of influential and important
people, especially as the industry rises to meet the need to address more
advanced security threats, such as targeted attacks. But how does a company
in the security industry truly identify the influential people? And then once
identified, how does one use influential voices to help promote their brand?
In this study, we answer the first question - how to identify the most
powerful voices in your industry, focusing on the security space, and as part
of this we provide you a list of people to follow for the best, most up to
date information, and who have the loudest voices to help help carry some of
your key messages. In a future study, we will discuss how to further exploit
that knowledge to market your brand.

CloudEXPO Stories By Yeshim Deniz  CI/CD is conceptually straightforward, yet often technically intricate to implement since it requires time and opportunities to develop intimate understanding on not only DevOps processes and operations, but likely product integrations with multiple platforms. This session intends to bridge the gap by offering an intense learning experience while witnessing the processes and operations to build from zero to a simple, yet functional CI/CD pipeline integrated with Jenkins, Github, Docker and Azure. Jul. 7, 2018 04:45 PM EDT Reads: 2,878 | By Elizabeth White  They say multi-cloud is coming, but organizations are leveraging multiple clouds already. According to a study by 451 Research, only 21% of organizations were using a single cloud. If you've found yourself unprepared for the barrage of cloud services introduced in your organization, you will need to change your approach to engaging with the business and engaging with vendors. Look at technologies that are on the way and work with the internal players involved to have a plan in place when the inevitable happens and the business begins to look at how these things can help affect your bottom line. Jul. 7, 2018 06:45 AM EDT | By Pat Romanski  The hierarchical architecture that distributes "compute" within the network specially at the edge can enable new services by harnessing emerging technologies. But Edge-Compute comes at increased cost that needs to be managed and potentially augmented by creative architecture solutions as there will always a catching-up with the capacity demands. Processing power in smartphones has enhanced YoY and there is increasingly spare compute capacity that can be potentially pooled. Uber has successfully been able to harness the excess capacity of privately owned vehicles and turned into a meaningful business. This concept can be step-functioned to harnessing the spare compute capacity of smartphones that can be orchestrated by MEC to provide cloud service at the edge. Jul. 6, 2018 12:00 PM EDT | By Elizabeth White  Traditional on-premises data centers have long been the domain of modern data platforms like Apache Hadoop, meaning companies who build their business on public cloud were challenged to run Big Data processing and analytics at scale. But recent advancements in Hadoop performance, security, and most importantly cloud-native integrations, are giving organizations the ability to truly gain value from all their data.
In his session at 19th Cloud Expo, David Tishgart, Director of Product Marketing at Cloudera, covered the ins and outs of Hadoop, and how it can help cloud-based businesses. Jul. 5, 2018 02:15 PM EDT Reads: 9,268 | By Pat Romanski  Cloud is the motor for innovation and digital transformation. CIOs will run 25% of total application workloads in the cloud by the end of 2018, based on recent Morgan Stanley report. Having the right enterprise cloud strategy in place, often in a multi cloud environment, also helps companies become a more intelligent business. Companies that master this path have something in common: they create a culture of continuous innovation.
In his presentation, Dilipkumar will outline the latest research and steps companies can take to make innovation a daily work habit by using enterprise cloud computing. I will share examples from companies that have benefited from enterprise cloud computing and take a look into the future of how the cloud helps companies become a more intelligent business.

When talking IoT we often focus on the devices, the sensors, the hardware itself. The new smart appliances, the new smart or self-driving cars (which are amalgamations of many ‘things'). When we are looking at the world of IoT, we should take a step back, look at the big picture. What value are these devices providing. IoT is not about the devices, its about the data consumed and generated. The devices are tools, mechanisms, conduits. This paper discusses the considerations when dealing with the massive amount of information associated with these devices. Ed presented sought out sessions at Cl...
Bill Schmarzo, Tech Chair of "Big Data | Analytics" of upcoming CloudEXPO | DXWorldEXPO New York (November 12-13, 2018, New York City) today announced the outline and schedule of the track. "The track has been designed in experience/degree order," said Schmarzo. "So, that folks who attend the entire track can leave the conference with some of the skills necessary to get their work done when they get back to their offices. It actually ties back to some work that I'm doing at the University of San Francisco which creates an "Outcomes-Centric Business Analytics" degree."
