When the Nobel Prize for physics was announced in October 2021, one of the winners was Italian theoretical physicist Giorgio Parisi, whose groundbreaking research helped decode complex physical systems, opening the door for breakthroughs in mathematics, science, and artificial intelligence. Decoding complex physical systems? If the science thing didn’t work out, Parisi could have pursued a career in security operations.

Ransomware experienced a stunning surge in prevalence and sophistication throughout the pandemic. Threat actors capitalized on a frequently shaky transition to a remote, digital business landscape. With so many businesses prioritizing basic functionality over proactive security, vulnerabilities have been unprecedented – and very much exploited.

Hi, my name is Erik Rudin, and I have the privilege of leading our technical alliances and ecosystem team here at ScienceLogic.

Prior to the pandemic, organizations around the world were already moving forward with digital transformation. COVID-19 forced enterprises to scale like never before—adding public cloud services, new network devices, remote workers, and software as a service (SaaS) applications.
