Hybrid Work is the Future, and Innovative Technology Will Define It
September 28, 2022 16:24 - 41 minutes - 19.2 MBWe’re all now part of a massive worldwide experiment about the very definition of work. Remote, in-office — or tightrope walking along some sliding scale between the two? How each business and each worker finds the next new work-life balance remains an ongoing "work in progress."

IT leaders know they’re benefiting from APIs -- internal, via third parties, and often outwardly exposed -- they just don’t know where they are, how much they support key services, and how they’re being used … or abused. As a result, developers and business architects alike don’t know how o...

Working the Great Resignation--How Employers Can Transform Things to their Advantage
November 01, 2021 17:21 - 36 minutes - 16.6 MBThe so-called great resignation has anywhere from half to two-thirds of U.S. workers looking for something other than their current situation.

And whether the exit is due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the culmination of decades of various trends, or some combination, the bottom line is that employers need to give workers better reasons to remain.

October 19, 2021 16:22 - 38 minutes - 15.5 MBThe speed and complexity of microservices-intense applications often leave their developers in the dark. The creators too often struggle to track and visualize the actual underlying architecture of their distributed services.

Thankfully, an open-source p...

June 24, 2021 17:01 - 37 minutes - 12.9 MBSelf-awareness as an individual attribute provides the context to better understand others and to find common ground. But what about self-awareness of entire generations?

Rise of Broad Reliance on APIs Brings Novel Vector for Security Concern and Need for New Defenses
April 21, 2021 18:23 - 28 minutes - 11.7 MBThinking of IT security as a fortress or a moat around your compute assets has given way to a more realistic and pervasive posture. Such a cybersecurity perimeter, it turns out, was only an illusion.

As businesses align to new approaches such as zero trust and behavior-modeling to secure their data applications, infrastructure, and networks, there’...

That’s because the criminals are increasingly compromising vulnerable backup systems and data first -- before they attack. As a res...
