IoT Integrity: A Guide to Robust Endpoint Testing
If you're responsible for an application that depends on the data or
functionality of various IoT endpoints - either sensors or devices - your
brand reputation depends on the security, reliability, and compliance of its
many integrated parts. If your application fails to deliver the expected
business results, your customers and partners won't care if that failure
stems from the code you developed or from a component that you integrated.
What can you do to ensure that the endpoints work as expected and enhance
your brand?

Our walls of security prevention are actually being surmounted every day - we
just don't always know it. Assaults from within the network, as well as
zero-day threats, are driving new types of solutions referred to as "advanced
threat detection" (ATD). ATD brings in real-time packet capture and analysis
in addition to monitoring of logs and NetFlow information, as well as
recording of packet capture data for near-real-time and post-analysis. By
analyzing data traffic, it is possible to build a profile of normal network
behavior that can then be compared against real-time data or ... (more)

There are some enterprise applications that were born to be in the cloud. Customer relationship management (CRM) applications were an early favorite because salespeople (the primary consumers of CRM) are decentralized and mobile. Web applications and personal data storage are also ideal cloud applications because they allow enterprises to scale up easily while driving down costs. Enterprises have held on to their communications, however, making it one of the last applications to move into the cloud.
Companies are migrating infrastructure to the cloud in order to achieve advantages and agility that they need to remain competitive. However, they may have difficulty achieving one extremely important benefit of cloud computing as they attempt to run their MySQL databases in the cloud – scalability in true utility fashion. Similar to the power utilities we are all familiar with, this entails the ability to get what you need, when you need it and pay for only what you use, even during peak demand. 
With all the excellent training available on television today, we are all now well prepared to deal with the coming Zombie Apocalypse. Our failure as a society lies, however, in our misunderstanding of the nature of the cybersecurity challenge. This failure threatens us all and our survival will depend on society’s ability to deal with the evolution and maturation of the changing enterprise cybersecurity challenge.
If you’re completely oblivious to the living dead threat, a zombie apocalypse refers to a widespread (usually global) rise of zombies hostile to human life. The zombies will en...

While some existing apps allow the Doctors to write using their stylus pen, what is needed is an integrated solution that includes handwriting recognition, voice , face recognition and other cognitive intelligence as part of health care applications.
Today is another exciting day as an Evangelist to a Big Data company, because I love me some data and I love making it accessible to everyone. I got it in my head that I wanted to take my other “how to”, start to finish, make it easy for everyone approach to analytics, and build something that would do the same for people interested in IoT. So I went ahead and started on my IoT journey today in the way I figured it was best. I bought a bunch of sensors and components and a Raspberry Pi (R-Pi) 3, yes I am turning into a hipster nerd. I had asked around to some folks I knew were doing cool R-Pi ...
The age of digital disruption is upon us, as the last decade alone has proven in terms of technology and disruption with the progression of organizations like Uber, Airbnb, and Netflix. We are also on the brink of new disruptions in industry, including banking or payments, insurance, healthcare, construction, packaging, and many more. These not only come from startups disrupting a sector, but companies being able to shift from their existing focus areas to build on new opportunities. They’re driven internally or by creating a new spinoff company into additional areas.
With online viewership and sales growing rapidly, enterprises are interested in understanding how they analyze performance to positively impact business metrics.
