Do you remember when touch screens were just the worst? It wasn’t very long ago when touch screens required jamming your fingers on a screen over and over again without the screen registering anything. Chances were your configuration was off anyway so even if the screen caught your touch, it sent you to a different button than intended. In 15 short years, so much has changed in the world of touch screens.

The tongue-in-cheek named malware detection tool, Yet Another Recursive Acronym (YARA) is described as “the pattern-matching Swiss Army knife for malware researchers (and everyone else)”. The Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM Enterprise platform is one of the first SIEM solutions to incorporate it as a built-in feature. This gives blue teamers an additional layer of detection built into the SIEM.

CAI stands for Continuous Application Improvement. It is a software improvement process that is implemented at each step of the SDLC, ensuring immediate feedback at each step rather than waiting till risk levels and impact has gone up. When you implement CAI you shift your improvement process as far left as possible and you catch software bugs and performance problems where they are introduced, eliminating countless hours of time spent chasing issues.

Job titles are in constant flux these days, especially in the world of IT. While some can border on the bizarre and ambiguous (thinking of you, Mr. “Digital Sherpa” and “Software Ninja”) most titles reveal very specific clues about the nature of modern work and the changing demands of business.

Too often serverless is equated with just AWS Lambda. Yes, it’s true: Amazon Web Services (AWS) helped to pioneer what is commonly referred to as serverless today with AWS Lambda, which was first announced back in 2015. But in 2020, it’s important for enterprises to understand that the serverless landscape is much bigger with more opportunities. Serverless is sometimes (narrowly) defined as just being about functions-as-a-service, but that’s a very limited viewpoint.

Whether we’re creating or managing on the fly with microservices, serverless compute, or containerization and APIs, digital rules everything around us. From IT operations, service delivery and asset management to even the fundamental makeup of our company’s core products and services, it’s all gone—or going—to the cloud.

Let’s assume that the average Australian university graduate enters the workforce somewhere between the ages of 21 and 24, bringing with them a qualification (or two, or three), a fierce determination to establish a secure career, and a finely-tuned radar for what’s authentic and what’s fake news.

From the discovery of fire to the development of the internet, society’s need to communicate and live as a social unit has inspired endless innovation. Soon we'll be witness to the pinnacle of wireless technology: fifth-generation wireless networks (5G). By allowing users to communicate and share data at breakneck speed, 5G could prove to be a paradigm shift in information consumption and sharing.
