While models and algorithms garner most of the media coverage, this is a great time to be thinking about building tools in data. In this post I share slides and notes from a keynote I gave at the Strata Data Conference in London at the end of May.

Server security. It’s kind of a big deal. But we don’t have to tell you that. As an IT leader, you understand the critical role that server infrastructure security plays in a company’s IT transformation. It’s a top priority that runs across all IT initiatives. Today’s IT departments juggle multiple things at once, often struggling to keep up with changing security demands.

Today all apps are connected at some point with servers to show data. This is why it is very important to have a well defined (and simple) client implementation to avoid problems in this very important layer of the application. We will also look at a pattern widely used in REST services and how we can improve it using the latest tools provided by Rx and Swift.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

The complexity of different types of malware continues to grow and zero-day malware is often missed by traditional security solutions. Often, zero-days will not become malicious until all the bits and pieces are compiled together – and by that time it’s too late. The Netskope Threat Research Labs has discovered many zero-days and continues to find more.

This is a guest post by independent security researcher James Quinn. Continuing the 2018 trend of cryptomining malware, I’ve found another family of mining malware similar to the “massminer” discovered in early May. I’m calling this family ZombieBoy since it uses a tool called ZombieBoyTools to drop the first dll. ZombieBoy, like MassMiner , is a cryptomining worm that uses some exploits to spread.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Part of the reason we need a summer break is because we simply don't have the organizational skills of this particular company. I wonder if they sell consulting. Original -- Remy.

There are thousands of ways we can shape the software systems we build and organise our teams around them. Yet there is no flowchart we can simply follow to find the optimal design. Sociotechnical systems are complex systems formed of complex systems. We have the unpredictable nature of markets. Consumer expectations are in a constant state of flux as new technological advancements arise and new competitors emerge, yet the goal is to continuously deliver products that satisfy market demand.

You might think a profession based on logic and learning would be immune to folklore, but the developer community remains rife with myth?—?myths so pervasive they begin to manifest into reality. If all the programming myths were true, the programming world would look like a cohort of 20-something geeks (some 10x better than others) using their elevated math skills to code at all hours of the night.

Some customers require the company to change its products Image Credit: 10ch. A CIOs focus is more often than not on the internal workings of the company. We spend our time using the importance of information technology to try to figure out how more things within the company can be automated or how we can keep the bad guys out.
