Companies Are Adopting Cloud, but Do They Really Know Why?

It is a true business enabler, designed to deliver value to the organization and help achieve its overall goals and objectives. Leaders want to improve their IT organizations, improve their businesses, and improve customer experiences.

Warwick Business School’s Distance Learning MBA started 36 years ago as a postal course — a mode of delivery that must seem positively quaint to any students born in that inaugural year of 1986.

Today’s learners access the course via a bespoke online platform which, Warwick says, enables them to “engage in lectures in real time . . . access teaching materials . . . participate in global study groups and speak directly to . . . lecturers [and] peers”.

3 Ways Blockchain is Impacting Analytics

3 Ways Blockchain is Impacting Analytics

As a revolutionary technology, blockchain has a potentially significant impact on data and analytics organizations, who can incorporate it into their processes.
When most people think about blockchain technology, they automatically associate it with cryptocurrency such at bitcoin.

It is a protocol that describes how transactions are defined, connected, transmitted, and collected. Inherent to its design are the processes needed to establish consensus when updating a data store in a way that guarantees its non-repudiation.

Top 10 cybersecurity Measures C-Suite Executives Should Follow

Cybersecurity threats are only on an upward trajectory with more data available online for a varied number of reasons and the incidence of cases is only going to increase.

What Are Blockchain Bridges and How Do They Work?

What Are Blockchain Bridges and How Do They Work?

A blockchain bridge is a tool that lets you port assets from one blockchain to another, solving one of the main pain points within blockchains – a lack of interoperability.

Since blockchain assets are often not compatible with one another, bridges create synthetic derivatives that represent an asset from another blockchain.

If you use a bridge to send one Solana coin to an Ethereum wallet, that wallet will receive a token that has been “wrapped” by the bridge – converted to a token based on the target blockchain. In this case, the Ethereum wallet would receive a “bridge” version of Solana that has been converted to an ERC-20 token – the generic token standard for fungible tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.

How to approach cloud compliance monitoring

Failure to meet compliance requirements can result in expulsion from industry groups, hefty fines and, at worst, prosecution. Compliance monitoring is a critical practice, both on premises and in the cloud.

Compliance monitoring encompasses areas from the database to the network, and tasks from application updates to incident response. To build a cloud compliance monitoring strategy, first understand the regulations or standards that affect your business. Then, implement monitoring practices and tools based on your specific compliance requirements and the cloud platforms in use.
