CxO
With CEOs anticipating recession, IT leaders need to take proactive steps by reassessing contracts, tech portfolios, projects lists, and job postings before CFOs come for their budgets.
If IT leaders aren't already thinking about the impact of an economic recession, their CEOs certainly are. In fact, nearly 8 in 10 business leaders expect a recession in their primary region of operation within the next 12 to 18 months - or believe one is already under way, according to the Conference Board's C-Suite Outlook Mid-Year. Among CEOs surveyed globally, 15% believe recession has already taken hold while another 61% expect a recession will arrive before the end of 2023. ...?more
Cybersecurity has become a business topic taking more prominence in the boardroom.
A global survey conducted last year named cyber-attacks and data loss as the top two risks concerning directors & officers due to the pandemic-related changes such as work from home, hybrid working environments, and cloud technology transitions. The survey covered the USA, UK, Europe, and APAC across various industries ...?more

AI
As the tech industry hype cycle continues to churn my in-box every day, I find myself reflecting on the meme du jour of 'artificial intelligence.'
My initial reaction to over-hyped terms is to resist giving them more credence than they may deserve. 'AI' associated with just about everything falls in line with my reticence. Somehow all new products and/or services are related to 'AI': AI-based, AI-powered, AI-fueled, AI-motivated (oh come on!). Whether the product/service truly includes AI technology under the hood is debatable ...?more
About a decade ago, deep-learning models started achieving superhuman results on all sorts of tasks, from beating world-champion board game players to outperforming doctors at diagnosing breast cancer.
These powerful deep-learning models are usually based on artificial neural networks, which were first proposed in the 1940s and have become a popular type of machine learning. A computer learns to process data using layers of interconnected nodes, or neurons, that mimic the human brain ...?more

There needs to be a constant upgrade of fraud management capabilities,' says Michael Araneta, Associate Vice President, IDC Financial Insights ...?more

Software is not actually eating the world, but it is absolutely smashing out of appliance-style boxes and creating a massive, interconnected overlay atop aggregations of very shiny and powerful hardware
And that is why Arista Networks, one of the upstart switch and router makers that was founded on the idea of creating an integrated networking software stack atop merchant silicon, has acquired software-defined networking pioneer Pluribus Networks as it also reports a very good second quarter ...?more

If we have learned anything over the last two years amidst the global pandemic, it's that employees want and need work-life integration.
This is a step beyond work-life balance. 'Balance' implies that things are equal and that a person is giving their professional and their personal lives the same amount of time and energy. The reality is that, after work, sleep, commuting, eating, and taking care of others, we don't have a lot of time left for our personal lives. Balance is nearly impossible, so integration is the next best thing ...?more

Most know it as a staple part of the software process that is crucial for producing quality code. But throughout the pandemic, with extreme pressure for businesses to transform quickly, it's a discipline at risk of being dismissed by organisations and tech leaders as a last-minute, box ticking exercise - but at what cost? Many have neglected QA in search of that quick app launch or new digital service, leading to an unwanted surprise or customer disappointment when they don't work. ...?more
Organizations leverage application programming interfaces (APIs) regularly, often without giving them much thought.
The benefits APIs deliver enable companies to monetize applications in new and exciting ways, ultimately driving revenue and gaining market share from competitors. This is because APIs offer a data transfer approach that allows services within an application to talk to other applications or other services within a system. In short, APIs facilitate communication from service A to service B in a uniform way. For example, when someone shops on Amazon or signs in to their favorite social media platform, the application fetches and updates the data they are interacting with by using APIs. ...?more
The rising number of cyber attacks against software applications has emphasized how security must serve as an important factor in software development.
More than the traditional Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) procedures, now security-integrated development lifecycles are being widely adapted. These aren't the typical security assessments that are performed at the very end of development of the application, but embedded throughout the lifecycle. This is where DevSecOps comes into play as a means to increase the security of the applications, making them more reliable, resilient and protected. Many trends in application security have been seen this year, signalling many changes for the future. ...?more

There are a few constants in life that we count on: sunrises, sunsets, and device refresh cycles
In fact, due to the changing security landscape, it's recommended that employees' devices should be replaced at least every four years. This is not only a massive capital expense and time sink, but a substantial expense to the planet as well. With an estimated +40 million tons of e-waste generated per year, that's like throwing away 800 laptops per second!
To improve those refresh cycles, increase endpoint security, reduce costs, and provide a more sustainable hybrid work solution, we encourage you to consider Citrix with ChromeOS Flex! ...?more
