The internet of things (IoT) is a system of interconnected computers, devices, digital machines, and objects, all marked with unique identifiers (UIDs) and enabled to transfer and share data over a network. It was first coined by Kevin Ashton in 1999 when he envisioned a future where things communicated with each other, apart from human interaction With the evolution of web-enabled smart homes and smart devices in nearly every corner of life, IoT attack surfaces begin to emerge.

A recent survey of nearly 2,000 IT professionals found that while most (85%) enterprises believe cloud technologies are critical to innovation, only 40% actually have a security policy in place. On top of this, almost half of the respondents using cloud infrastructure reported their engineers and developers circumvent or ignore cloud security and compliance policies, demonstrating the importance of automation and monitoring technology.

If you are considering Azure Files as the persistent storage for your Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) applications, there are important considerations around AKS backup and recovery with implications on how you can perform Dev, Test, and Staging. This article outlines these data management considerations in detail and how to work around Azure Files limitation to achieve feature parity with using Azure Managed Disks.

When it comes to how truly intelligent Artificial Intelligence (AI) is, it’s a polarizing debate. Either AI will solve the world’s woes or robots will rule us all – Matrix-style. But it’s all a little more complicated than Hollywood makes it seem… For a deep dive, do listen to our Beyond the Data podcast hosted by Sophie Chase-Borthwick (Calligo’s Global Data & Governance Lead) and Tessa Jones (VP of Data Science Research & Development).

Security analysts and administrators need every advantage to keep up with prioritizing and investigating alerts. A SIEM (security information and event management) solution helps uncover threats, but it takes a lot of time assigning and updating tags, criticality, and signal suppression. Sometimes users opt to skip the step altogether, especially if there are a lot of entities to add or update at once. Other times, they introduce errors during this manual step.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly becoming ubiquitous in supporting key business decisions, and for many organisations it is critical for their digital transformation and new business models. With organisations quickly driving forward to identify new ways to extract competitive value from their data, the regulators are preparing to step in.

Higher education institutions have long been subjected to ransomware and other cyber attacks, which has had a huge impact on their operations. In 2020 alone, ransomware attacks affected nearly 1,700 U.S. schools, colleges and universities – which is an increase of 100% over the previous year.
