James Motherway, a senior threat hunt analyst, offers practical insights on proactive defense with threat hunting and deception. He believes that, as cyberattacks become bolder and more widespread, reactive security is not enough. Even worse, many organizations suffer from detection blind spots or collect lots of data that does not help. Motherway believes security teams have no choice but to invest in proactive capabilities to protect their operations.

The authors describe how systemic risk should be factored in as a board priority and how to enhance preparedness. They argue that in terms of bolstering cybersecurity, the corporate boardroom is “too frequently a non­existent or under­performing control point for many organizations.” Zukis and Barsky go on to discuss the vulnerability of today’s highly connected and complex systems to systemic risks that can cause damage to the entire system. Finally, their article illustrates how boardroom mechanisms for governing digital and cyber risk can benefit enterprises.

The term “DEI” (diversity, equity, inclusion) is currently trending across the business world but is frequently and increasingly misused. In this Advisor, we break down each concept into simple language that can help your company "walk the talk" when it comes to organizational transformation.

Cybersecurity vulnerability management for medical devices is an area of concern for both medical device manufacturers and healthcare delivery organizations. The issues related to updates, configuration, and patch management are extremely challenging in the medical domain, especially with ransomware attacks designed to exploit well-known technologies used in medical devices. The article describes a centralized service and continuous patch delivery that can be adopted as an industry practice for medical device manufacturers, and is an important read for all cybersecurity and healthcare professionals.

DEI problems are created by offensive and archaic attitudes that persist in the workplace. As explored in this Advisor, organizations can advance DEI by removing their institutional structural barriers and by using inclusive language to help create an equitable workplace.

Increasingly, organizations are adopting a decentralized approach to R&D, carrying out a significant amount of activity within the business units. This Advisor explores the challenge of gaining R&D insight, from project management systems that don't fit the bill, to the need for better system configuration.

Good data is honestly and ethically sourced, fully contextualized, reliable, resilient, widely available, and well-understood. How can this be achieved? Contemplating these characteristics, we are led directly to principles and programs for data/information governance, ethics, and the organizational structures needed to support and drive their success. This Advisor explores the path forward to good data.

Although most individuals associate non-fungible tokens (NFTs) as a form of “digital art,” as we explore in this Executive Update, they more broadly open up models for anything to become tokenized.

In this final installment of our series on intelligent process automation (IPA) in the enterprise, we cover the remaining key industries where surveyed organizations see IPA having its greatest impact.

How are today's organizations adopting and deploying emerging technologies? Research suggests that companies have abandoned their obsession with “requirements” and — however quietly — appear to instead endorse a “technology-first/requirements-second” approach to technology adoption.

As work and teams strive to be more agile, team diversity boosts resilience by allowing the team to adapt to new missions and changing situations more easily.

Organizations can utilize business architecture to inform and shape software designs to achieve more stable, maintainable, and scalable software systems. This Advisor examines the root cause of ineffective software design, specifically, the lack of consistency and clarity of the business perspectives being used as input to software design efforts.

This edition of The Cutter Edge explores why and how to make employee resilience a priority, the "four horsemen" of not-so-strategic HR, and more!

Neural networks and other ML model development typically use large amounts of data for training and testing purposes. Because much of this data is historical, there is the risk that the AI models could learn existing prejudices pertaining to gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and other biases. This Advisor explores how the Data & Trust Alliance consortium created an initiative to help end-user organizations evaluate vendors offering AI-based solutions according to their ability to detect, mitigate, and monitor algorithmic bias over the lifecycle of their products.

In Part XI of this Executive Update series on intelligent process automation (IPA) in the enterprise, we cover another five key industries in which organizations see IPA having its greatest impact.

Project success is evaluated by the degree to which an end goal is achieved. Having a vivid understanding of the result, its impact, and the potential impediments to success can help improve a project. This Advisor explores the three beginning stages of a technology proj­ect and their keys to success: define, assess, and plan. Each stage has its own characteristics that need examination.

Learn how a logistical mindset transforms project think­ing from focusing on avoiding failure to concentrating on achieving success.

In this webinar on demand, William Ulrich shows you how you can define and validate your organization’s data architecture to inform data transformation requirements, and provide a foundation for IT investments.
