Secure Software Summit: Reachability and Risk for Security Leaders
Reachability and risk have dramatically shifted in recent years as we have moved from a hard perimeter “fortress” approach to security to more distributed systems, APIs, cloud computing, SaaS and far more potential points for attack ingress and exfiltration egress. Contemplation is what will
Data Mesh Perspectives: A Q&A with Roche Diagnostics
Omar Khawaja, Head of BI and Analytics at Roche Diagnostics, and his team have been on a journey to implement data mesh, including self-service data and analytics infrastructure capabilities. We spoke to Omar Khawaja and Paul Rankin, Head of Data Management and Architecture at Roche Diagnostics,
AWS Lambda Now Supports Up to 10 GB Ephemeral Storage
You can now control the amount of ephemeral storage a function gets for reading or writing data, allowing you to use AWS Lambda for ETL jobs, ML inference, or other data-intensive workloads. However, extract, transform, and
Optimize AI/ML workloads for sustainability: Part 2, model development
If you missed the first part of this series, we showed you how to examine your workload to help you 1) evaluate the impact of your workload, 2) identify alternatives to training your own model, and 3) optimize data processing. These rules monitor your workload and will automatically stop a training job
What to consider when migrating data warehouse to Amazon Redshift
In this step, you use AWS SCT and sometimes source data warehouse native tools to capture and load delta or incremental changes from sources to Amazon Redshift. You begin with creating a database migration assessment report and then converting the source data schema to be compatible with
Improve reusability and security using Amazon Athena parameterized queries
Athena parameterized queries also provide a layer of security against SQL injection attacks, and mask the query string in AWS CloudTrail for workloads with sensitive data. This post provides an example of how Athena parameterized queries protect against SQL injection, and shows the
An Introduction to Azure Cloud Security Features
You can also go a step further and integrate a third-party cloud security platform like Sonrai Dig into your environment for automatic identity relationship monitoring. Dig automatically identifies and maps data in the Azure cloud, enabling security teams to view and manage location and
Migration updates announced at re:Invent 2021
AWS Migration Hub can help you build a migration and modernization strategy for applications running on-premises or in AWS. AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery is a new service to help you to minimize downtime and
Converge Networking and Security with Zero-Trust Edge
To defend themselves against increasingly sophisticated and complex cyberattacks, organizations need a way to deliver the convergence of security and networking everywhere while providing secure access to applications based on continuous validation of user identity and context. Because users
Top Data Storage Security Trends in 2022
Those migrating file data to object storage also need to ensure they are configuring permissions correctly — often the security entities, or users and groups, may not line up one for one from on-premises Active Directory to the
Federated workload identity at scale made easy with CA Service
A zero trust approach to protecting workloads on cloud-native infrastructure (such as Google’s BeyondProd model) creates trust between workloads by defining and enforcing access policies based on service identities, rather than the IP addresses of the host infrastructure. At-scale certificate issuance for
Migrating a self-managed message broker to Amazon SQS
The Amazon Payment Services core team designed a solution to use Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) with AWS Fargate (see Figure 2.) Amazon SQS is a fully managed message queuing service that enables
In Praise of Dictators: A Satire
The French philosopher Montesquieu said it best, “The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.” It’s often been said, “The best argument against
