When a headline screams something like “worst DDoS ever,” it’s often accurate. Distributed denial-of-service attacks, which deluge targeted sites or services with traffic to force them offline, have been growing in strength and scope for decades. And although organizations can do certain things to mitigate the impact of an attack, our seemingly ever-increasing usage of Internet-connected devices is likely only inviting more DDoS trouble.

When I started blogging 7 years ago, my main idea was to share my experience with the agile community. I wanted to share my learnings so others would not waste time doing the same mistakes. After several years, my target audience changed and nowadays I write mainly for executives and entrepreneurs, but the idea is still the same: educating people and sharing my experience and learning so they do not do the same mistakes I did.

Many organizations today are unlocking the power of their data by using graph databases to feed downstream analytics, enahance visualizations, and more. Yet, when different graph nodes represent the same entity, graphs get messy. Watch this essential video with Senzing CEO Jeff Jonas on how adding entity resolution to a graph database condenses network graphs to improve analytics and save your analysts time.

On May 25, the FBI issued a clarion call to a broad swath of Wi-Fi router owners: To clear out a potential botnet malware infection, reboot your router. The malware, VPNFilter, allowed hackers to snoop on all traffic passing through the router, including stealing website log-ins, as well as disable the device. But the reboot was only a temporary fix: Router owners must update their router firmware to fully eliminate the potential infection, a much harder task than simply turning the router off a

Why model development does not equal software development. Artificial intelligence is still in its infancy. Today, just 15% of enterprises are using machine learning, but double that number already have it on their roadmaps for the upcoming year. With public figures like Intel’s CEO stating that every company needs a machine learning strategy or risks being left behind, it’s just a matter of time before machine learning enters your organization, too—if it hasn’t already.

It’s interesting that a lot of IT projects are considered as failures even though the development teams were able to submit the output on time and within budget. As it turns out, these projects were not considered as successes since they didn’t meet the demands or standards of the stakeholders. There was also minimal coordination between the project team and the investors.
