In Part 1 of this article, we explored five key factors that make security assurance of hardware technologies a challenge. This included the disruptive nature of research, the ever-expanding risk exposure, disproportionate user expectations, and more. In Part 2, I would like to explore how as a community we can work together to overcome these […]

Technology has a nearly unlimited capacity to enrich our lives and change the world. But that technology must be built on a strong foundation of security and trust. To offer best-in-class product security assurance, technology providers are investing in secure development practices, emerging threat research, tool and methodology pathfinding, security incident handling, continuous education for […]

Pre-pandemic, nobody had heard of a Great Resignation, which fundamentally altered the supply-demand balance for many jobs. If you find talent and hire people, you want the most effective tools on your side, because the cliché “it’s hard to find good people” is now so true that it hurts. Artificial intelligence can be a powerful […]

Managing complexity is the lot of software engineers. Programmers make choices that impact the cost of everything that follows. It costs significantly less to write perfect software than to write software of dubious quality. It may cost more initially in terms of time and resources, but your teams will save several times that cost if […]

Historically, IT teams operated separately from business users and established their own set of deliverables and KPIs. That’s mostly because legacy service management tools aren’t built to measure other indicators like customer sentiment or experience satisfaction – but instead typically focus on service level agreement (SLA) deliverables or workflow optimizations. However, with the shifts in […]

Digital transformation, the urgencies of the pandemic and the broader emergence of software- defined enterprises mean that organizations now rely on applications more than ever to keep their businesses running. However, many times these mission-critical applications are not sufficiently protected and are often accessed by remote users on untrusted networks – exposing them to a […]

It seems everything around us is getting smarter: smart phones, smart cars, smart thermostats, smart refrigerators, smart TVs, smart lights, smart homes, etc. – everywhere we go we find ourselves interacting with technology. In fact, according to Digital 2021: Global Overview Report from Datareportal.com, adults now spend almost seven hours a day interacting with all […]

While core system transformation efforts – digital transformation – traditionally receive the bulk of IT’s attention and resources, often resulting in multi-year initiatives that require all hands on deck, there are more insidious processes that often go on unnoticed for months, if not years. These “shadow processes” are business processes that may not be core […]

Cybersecurity is topmost in business leaders minds the world over, more so in the new paradigm we are in today. With cybercrime expected to cost $10.5 trillion annually by 2025, securing data is gaining a totally new magnitude level. Popularity of cloud services is revolutionizing the digital economy with flexibility, scalability, and reduced operational costs […]

The pandemic has forever changed the way we work. As the world prepares for a “new normal” – driven by digital transformation – companies are preparing for yet another workplace transformation. The physical workplace has a big role to play, and it’s radically changing in response to employees’ needs and wants. A recent survey of […]
