Managing Endpoint Compliance-as-Code

The rapid pace of modern software delivery and increasing fleet sizes have transformed how organizations see and handle security strategies. Compliance-as-code is required for today’s organizations that need security as a fundamental part of business processes. It is no longer possible to manually manage compliance with dedicated security teams.

Network Security for Financial Institutions

A whopping 35% of all data breaches impact Financial Services organizations, according to Forbes. These companies contain a treasure trove of valuable data, and intensely complex financial IT systems with their huge number of interconnections offer ample ways for cybercriminals to break in.

“Financial services firms are 300 times more likely than other companies to be targeted by a cyberattack,” the Boston Consulting Group argued. “Dealing with those attacks and their aftermath carries a higher cost for banks and wealth managers than for any other sector.”

Giving women a seat at the table this International Women's Day

This International Women’s Day, Intelligent CXO spoke to 11 members of the technology industry, from a variety of roles and backgrounds, to hear how we can truly #BreakTheBias this year.

International Women’s Day 2022: Overcoming unconscious bias for a more equal future

International Women’s Day has been raising awareness and striving for gender equality for 111 years.

Whilst much has been achieved in this time, Shirley Knowles, Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer at Progress, reminds us why such a day is still so important in 2022: “International Women’s Day is meant to celebrate women and recognize their achievements. For too long, women have been left out of the history books and decision-making conversations, and that is especially true for the STEM fields. Names like Rosalind Franklin, Katherine Johnson and Mae C. Jemison should be just as recognisable as Steve Jobs. Women’s contributions to the STEM fields should be acknowledged and praised, and we need to continue this momentum for all girls and women pursuing these fields. And how do we do that? By investing in them"

What’s Changed: 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Platforms

Analyst house Gartner, Inc. recently released the 2022 version of its Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Platforms. Digital Experience Platforms (DXP) include technologies designed to support organizations by digitizing aspects of their business to provide better customer experiences.

Security Monitoring Must Do’s for Financial Institutions – How Visibility Helps Find and Prevent Breaches and Maintain Compliance

It is no surprise that cybercriminals are after the money and financial institutions have plenty of it lying around. Financial data is irresistible, and hackers have a field day attacking complex financial IT systems boasting more connections than a Hollywood agent. The attack surface is huge with countless paths to follow.

Choosing the best Digital Experience Platform (DXP) in financial services

Digital experiences play a different role in different industries and the financial services industry has its own specific set of needs to engage with customers. With the surge in customers banking online when branches closed during the pandemic, customers are now more digital-savvy than ever, with research by RFi Group revealing that 73% of British consumers are now using e-banking methods. Brand reputation now rests almost entirely on users’ digital experiences. The direct correlation of digital experience to business success cannot be underestimated by financial services organizations.

DevOps, Low-Code and RPA: Pros and Cons of low-code for effective enterprise solutions

A critical shortage of developers is expected to hit businesses hard in 2022, with 86% of IT decision makers citing lack of developers as their biggest challenge. Digital transformations worldwide have created an unprecedented demand for skilled software developers and IT professionals. In April 2021 alone, there were nearly 10,000 vacancies for software developers (9,783) compared to 5,630 at the same time last year. Organisations lacking the right talent will need to look within their existing teams for solutions to complete these digital missions.

Why Are Organizations Adopting GitOps for Continuous Deployment in 2022?

To develop infrastructure as code, a DevOps engineer will most likely produce files (such as YAML) locally and put the code in a git repository, which offers him version control for IaC and allows other team members to retrieve and participate. However, while making changes to the code, we may not have a clear protocol in place – such as pull requests, code reviews, or collaboration to discuss modifications made by other team members. It’s even difficult to figure out who did what. Even automated tests to run the codes in repositories are lacking. All of these errors, as well as others, eventually end up in the development environment.

Monitoring And Security In A Hybrid, Multicloud World

In my November 2021 article, I outlined how the digital transformation in many organizations had accelerated due to work-from-home mandates. The rapid changes seen as IT teams worked to deliver access to staff working from home drove the uptake of cloud services and SaaS applications from multiple suppliers. These changes did a lot to eliminate the concept of a well-defined and secure network perimeter.

DevOps and DevSecOps: what's on the cards for 2022?

In the past year, there have been incredible efforts from Australian organizations to digitize and innovate. As a result, developers have become an intrinsic part of organizations' digital agenda delivery.

Bridging the security gap in the software development life cycle

The timeliness of security checks during the software testing process is critical to more rapid and higher quality software development and yielding higher returns. Yet DevOps and security have historically struggled to integrate in the software development life cycle (SDLC). According to a Gartner study, through 2022, 90 percent  of software development projects plan to follow DevSecOps practices, up from 40 percent  in 2019.

International Day of Women and Girls in Science: How to support women in STEM

It’s no secret that there remains a significant gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) industries.

Women make up only 24% of those in the sector, despite progress in recent years. As Dr Shirley Knowles, Chief Inclusion and Diversity Officer at Progress points out, not only are women put off joining the sector, they “are often paid less and don’t get the same level of recognition as their male counterparts,” once in it.

Lessons from International Day of Women and Girls in Science

Over the last few years, conversations have started opening up about gender inequality and discrimination faced by women in education and work. This is naturally a great first step, but there is a danger of creating complacency around the subject.
