We have 480 days to go before the General Data Protection Regulation is “in force”. And then what? That's the question I’m being increasingly asked these days. Does it really mean that in 481 days, European privacy regulators will be heralding the first megafine for non-compliance with one of the GDPR’s more obscure requirements? I think not. But it will undoubtedly lead to greater unease amongst the audit committees of many firms, particularly those in the (regulated) financial services sector,
“ECM is dead.” “Content Services are the next generation.” “I’ve got a brand-new pair of roller skates.” If you think that last quote is a non sequitur, you’re right! But so, I’d argue, are the other two, because neither speaks directly to what both really are all about: Improving the “care and feeding” of your […]. The post Debate Over “Content Services vs.
The startup studio: A new model for driving innovation. shobana.lv@cgi.com. Tue, 01/31/2017 - 05:34. What benefits can a large company derive from an innovation strategy? Is it a fad, an opportunity or a necessity? And, what do we really mean by innovation? Digital has changed everything. At the dawn of the third industrial revolution as described by Jeremy Rifkin [1] , we can observe how digitalization is changing everything based on two key trends: Increasing emergence of new digital technolog
(This post uses x86-64 for illustration throughout. The fundamentals are similar for other platforms but will need some translation that I don't cover here.). Despite compilers getting better over time, it's still the case that hand-written assembly can be worthwhile for certain hot-spots. Sometimes there are special CPU instructions for the thing that you're trying to do, sometimes you need detailed control of the resulting code and, to some extent, it remains possible for some people to out-op
AI adoption is reshaping sales and marketing. But is it delivering real results? We surveyed 1,000+ GTM professionals to find out. The data is clear: AI users report 47% higher productivity and an average of 12 hours saved per week. But leaders say mainstream AI tools still fall short on accuracy and business impact. Download the full report today to see how AI is being used — and where go-to-market professionals think there are gaps and opportunities.
On January 16, 2017, the Article 29 Working Party (“Working Party”) published further information about its Action Plan for 2017 , which sets forth the Working Party’s priorities and objectives in the context of implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) for the year ahead. The Action Plan closely follows earlier GDPR guidance relating to Data Portability, the appointment of Data Protection Officers and the concept of the Lead Supervisory Authority, which were published

I’m increasingly asked whether particular firms actually need to appoint a Data Protection Officer in order to comply with the requirements of the GDPR. Given that the potential fine for non-compliance (with Article 37) is €10 million Euros or up to 2% of the total worldwide annual turnover, companies quite understandably don't want to get such a basic issue wrong.
My primary email address assigned by my ISP can’t be changed. It gets a lot of spam In the past that wasn’t really a problem because I rarely used it for anything, but a few years ago I foolishly began using it on resumes. Its format is first initial + lastname @ ISP so its relatively professional. Unfortunately there are other people in the world who think that is their email address.
Digitalization opens new paths for transport, future cities. shobana.lv@cgi.com. Wed, 01/11/2017 - 23:35. The transportation sector is facing its greatest change since the invention of the car. Forces of change include increasingly strict emissions policies, the growing number of cars, and the possibilities for many new services enabled by digitalization and the sharing economy.
Here's a scenario that might sound familiar to you: you have a particular transaction, which I'll call TRNX, that is the source of quite a lot of deadlock activity in a DB2 for z/OS system. It seems that whenever more than one instance of TRNX is executing at the same time, a deadlock situation is highly likely. You went with row-level locking for the table spaces accessed by TRNX, but the trouble persisted.
Speaker: Ben Epstein, Stealth Founder & CTO | Tony Karrer, Founder & CTO, Aggregage
When tasked with building a fundamentally new product line with deeper insights than previously achievable for a high-value client, Ben Epstein and his team faced a significant challenge: how to harness LLMs to produce consistent, high-accuracy outputs at scale. In this new session, Ben will share how he and his team engineered a system (based on proven software engineering approaches) that employs reproducible test variations (via temperature 0 and fixed seeds), and enables non-LLM evaluation m
On January 10, 2017, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) released proposed updates to the Framework for Improving Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity (the “Cybersecurity Framework”). The proposed updates, which are found in Version 1.1 of the Cybersecurity Framework, are derived from feedback received by NIST regarding the first version, including from responses to a December 2015 request for information and discussions at a workshop held in April 2016.
We live in times of rapid change when businesses that assume they have a secure market are suddenly having their world turned upside down. With the most substantive impact coming from technology, many have assumed that large investments in IT and digital would act as a protection. In fact, many of the businesses who have made the largest investments, such as some retailers, are actually the ones experiencing the greatest disruption to their operations.
From my NCS blog post : Despite the rapid growth of DevOps practices throughout various industries, there still seems to be a fair amount of trepidation, particularly among security practitioners and auditors. One of the first concerns that pops up is a blurted out "You can't do DevOps here! It violates separation of duties!" Interestingly, this assertion is generally incorrect and derives from a general misunderstanding about DevOps, automation, and the continuous integration/deployment (CI/CD)
The DHS compliance audit clock is ticking on Zero Trust. Government agencies can no longer ignore or delay their Zero Trust initiatives.

On January 11, 2017, the Swiss Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner announced that it has reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Commerce on a new Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield framework (the “Swiss Privacy Shield”), which will allow companies to legally transfer Swiss personal data to the U.S. The Swiss Privacy Shield will replace the U.S.
I couldn’t help but smile over the Christmas break when the other half was playing with their latest gadget, a well-known Voice Service speaker. Having started to become familiar with how it operated, the requests were getting shorter and shorter. It would appear that manners are included for free – when the commands were eventually reduced to a single word, the speaker responded with “that wasn’t a very nice way to ask” and the request had to be rephrased before being actioned!

"If you're a startup trying to get a product off the ground, you've probably been told to build an "MVP" - a minimum viable product - as promoted by the Lean Startup methodology. This translates into products being rapidly developed with the least number of features necessary to make an initial sale or two. Oftentimes, security is not one of the features that makes it into the product, and then it gets quickly forgotten about down the road.".
The post We Must Fix This F **g Mess appeared first on John Battelle's Search Blog. Here are the caveats for the rant I am about to write. The fact that I am writing this on Medium will cause many of you to dismiss me for hypocrisy. Don’t. Read to the end. I will be saying the word “F*CK” a lot. If that bothers you, time to depart for calmer waters.

On January 23, 2017, the FTC released a Staff Report (the “Report”) on cross-device tracking technology that can link multiple Internet-connected devices to the same person and track that person’s activity across those devices. The Report follows a November 2015 workshop on the same subject and is based on information and comments gathered during that workshop.
On January 18, 2017, the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) issued an updated National Cyber Incident Response Plan (the “Plan”) as directed by Obama’s Presidential Policy Directive 41 , issued this past summer, and the National Cybersecurity Protection Act of 2014. The Plan applies to cyber incidents, and particularly focuses on significant cyber incidents that are likely to result in demonstrable harm to the United States’ national security interests, foreign relations or economy, or to t

What are the top modern BI use cases for enterprise businesses to help you get a leg up on the competition?
On January 9, 2017, Representatives Kevin Yoder (R-KS) and Jared Polis (D-CO) reintroduced the Email Privacy Act, which would amend the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (“ECPA”) of 1986. In particular, the legislation would require government entities to obtain a warrant, based on probable cause, before accessing the content of any emails or electronic communications stored with third-party service providers, regardless of how long the communications have been held in electronic storage by
