Bees Are Smart. How Is Tech Making Them 'Smarter'?
Amanda Pena, Houston Customer Innovation Center Manager, tells us about the purpose of a bee apiary, and how tech is playing a part in keeping the bees thriving
Busy at work, atop HPE's headquarters, is a workforce unknown to many who work in the same building. A workforce made up of six beehives, producing honey, for good. In the same building that leads tech, for good.
How did this project come about? What was the inspiration?
I have always been passionate about the environment but never thought of how I could make a difference beyond my home. When we opened the new global headquarters in Houston, I noticed we were getting a variety of bees visiting the plants on our terrace. Another HPE employee asked, 'What do you plan to do about those?' and I jokingly replied, 'Bring in more!'

New Cisco Study Finds Only 15% Of Companies Surveyed Are Ready To Defend Against Cybersecurity Threats
Readiness is critical: 82% of respondents said they expect a cybersecurity incident to disrupt their business in the next 12 to 24 months
A mere 15% of organizations globally have the 'Mature' level of readiness needed to be resilient against today's modern cybersecurity risks, according to Cisco's (NASDAQ: CSCO) first-ever Cybersecurity Readiness Index released today. The index has been developed against the backdrop of a post-COVID, hybrid world, where users and data must be secured wherever work gets done. The report highlights where businesses are doing well and where cybersecurity readiness gaps will widen if global business and security leaders don't take action.

One Seamless, United Platform
Platforms. Today that one word, without context, can spark a myriad of mental images.

Reality Check on Cybersecurity: 9% of Companies in Europe are Ready to Defend Against Cyber Threats
The urgency around addressing the European Union's cyber shortcomings is well founded. A mere 9% of organizations in Europe have the 'Mature' level of readiness needed to be resilient against modern cyber risks, according to Cisco's first-ever Cybersecurity Readiness Index and its Europe Edition.
The report highlights where businesses are doing well and where cybersecurity gap will widen if businesses, security and policy leaders don't take action.
Over the past months, Europe has intensified its actions to level up its cybersecurity across the board, with a revision of the 2016 Network and Information System Security Directive (NIS 1) and, in September last year, a new proposal for product cybersecurity obligations through the Cyber Resilience Act.

Sustainability 101: Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Global Warming, And Climate Change
Do you feel a bit lost when people refer to certain environmental sustainability topics and aren't sure where to start when it comes to learning more? Sustainability 101 is a blog series that you can turn to for information about different environmental sustainability terms that may come up at work, during discussions with friends, and even at your annual holiday gathering.
We hear the term 'climate change' often these days: what is it, and what do greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have to do with it? ...
According to the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), most of the climate changes we have seen throughout history were 'attributed to very small variations in Earth's orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.' The mid-1800s marked a shift in these historical cooling and warming trends at about the same time as the onset of industrialization.

The Path To Unified SASE With Cisco SD-WAN And Cisco+ Secure Connect
In my previous blog posts (see links at end of this post) on SD-WAN security, we detailed how the Cisco SD-WAN solution is enhancing the security capabilities of the network fabric with specific capabilities while catering to the security needs of large enterprises in a scalable fashion.
Cisco SD-WAN also enables IT to secure the network for a distributed workforce and devices from campus to branch sites by adding Secure Service Edge (SSE) services to create a holistic Secure Access Service Edge (SASE).
Since a growing percentage of the workforce is remote-at home or mobile-they also need secure access to applications hosted in public clouds, SaaS, and private data centers. This segment of the workforce increased significantly during and after the pandemic, forcing larger enterprises to move toward a hybrid workforce model.

Microservice-Based App Delivery Using Netscaler And Citrix Ingress Controller
Cloud-native applications are built to allow for continuous updating of code without affecting the user experience.
A legacy application, on the other hand, requires a complete reload of the application because its parts are all intertwined, and the app has to be taken offline to be updated. Today, this type of interruption is unacceptable.
Cloud-native applications are written such that each part of the application is created in smaller chunks or containers. Because individual software engineering teams can maintain these containers, updating one container has less impact on the ability of a team to keep an application available. Software engineers can publish updated containers without taking the original container offline or affecting the application as a whole.

Demand Risk In Supply Chains
A fundamental goal for supply chains of physical goods is matching up available inventory with demand.
You can have too little of something (understock). During the pandemic, everyone became familiar with this scenario, whether it involved waiting months for a new car or scrounging all the local markets for toilet paper. These examples illustrate two of the ways in which businesses can fail to align with customer demand. In the case of automobiles, shortages in key components like microprocessors constrained what manufacturers could build. In the case of toilet paper, because people weren't in offices (and were maybe hoarding a bit) caused a spike in consumer demand.

Developing Your RHEL Image Builder Strategy
You can have too little of something (understock). During the pandemic, everyone became familiar with this scenario, whether it involved waiting months for a new car or scrounging all the local markets for toilet paper. These examples illustrate two of the ways in which businesses can fail to align with customer demand. In the case of automobiles, shortages in key components like microprocessors constrained what manufacturers could build. In the case of toilet paper, because people weren't in offices (and were maybe hoarding a bit) caused a spike in consumer demand.
Eventually, that became a stack of flash drives with the installers. Nowadays, I don't need to worry about that as much because I utilize the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) image builder tool to manage my operating system lifecycle.
You've heard us talk a lot about the future of RHEL and the installation experience. Overhauling your server lifecycle process may as well start at the very beginning with image creation. Image builder supports multiple formats and destinations.

How to Deploy RHEL In The Cloud: Pay As You Go vs. Bring-your-own-subscription
One of Red Hat's greatest strengths is allowing you to deploy most products wherever you want.
From a bare-metal server to virtualization, and major public clouds to the edge, Red Hat can help you make it happen. I hope to clarify topics around how and why to do this in the cloud and help you make the best decisions when using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) outside of your data center.
Red Hat Cloud Access is a program designed to provide subscription portability for those who want to use their Red Hat subscriptions in the cloud. This is a path towards creating open hybrid cloud infrastructures built on Red Hat technologies. The program is available with most Red Hat subscriptions at no extra cost, allowing you to keep the benefits of Red Hat subscriptions (including our support and discounts) and providing access to value-add capabilities like gold images and the Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux.

Get Back To Business With Apex Managed Device Service
Entrepreneurs and leaders shouldn't have to choose between driving business growth or moonlighting as tech support for their teams.
Small and medium business (SMB) leaders may view an in-house IT team as a luxury. However, IT is more than purchasing a few laptops and shipping them to employees, especially when setting the foundations for scaling a successful business. Fielding employee questions about technology can be overwhelming, ad hoc fixes can be costly surprises and employee downtime can have a big impact, especially for smaller teams.
Dell Runs Your IT So You Can Run Your Business
As businesses grow, technology needs typically follow. SMB leaders often ask: How can I predict or plan my IT budget? How can I use technology to keep my business secure? How can I answer my employees' technical questions without investing hours digging through online tech forums? How can I manage all of this without a dedicated headcount? Entrepreneurs and leaders

Your Data Management Journey: Keep The End In Mind
Identifying business needs sets the framework for understanding how an organization can derive value from its data.
'Begin with an end in mind' -from 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People' by Stephen Covey
In our previous blog, we introduced the concept of The Dell Data Management Journey Map - a map that guides organizations in their ability to leverage their data and advanced analytics to accelerate their journey from business need to business outcome.
The business importance of data management has grown dramatically over the past couple of years as leading artificial intelligence (AI) pundits have advocated for the transition from algorithm-centric AI to data-centric AI. Dr. Andrew Ng, Stanford professor and the godfather of modern AI, has been championing the critical transition of spending less time tweaking the AI algorithms, and instead investing more time improving the data quality, latency, granularity and robustness that power the AI models.

Fortinet 2023 Global Cyber Skills Gap Report Finds More Needs To Be Done To Untap New Talent
The 2023 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report shows that organizations continue to fight an uphill battle against cyber threats. They're experiencing more breaches, are in dire need of skilled professionals, and are struggling to fill critical roles.
As cybercrime proliferates and bad actors identify new and more sophisticated ways to infiltrate networks, it's no surprise that organizations are falling victim to cyberattacks more frequently than in the past. The report shows 84% of enterprises experienced one or more breaches in the past 12 months. And the number of organizations confirming five or more breaches jumped by 53% between 2021 and 2022. While numerous factors are likely to contribute to this increase in breaches, more than two-thirds of business leaders (68%) agree that unfilled IT and security positions pose a security risk to their organizations.
In addition to successful cyberattacks occurring more frequently, they're continuing to cost organizations a lot of money. Nearly half of the organizations surveyed suffered breaches in the past 12 months that cost more than $1 million to remediate, an increase from 2021.

Fortinet the global cybersecurity leader driving the convergence of networking and security, today released its 2023 Global Cybersecurity Skills Gap Report, which reveals ongoing challenges related to the cybersecurity skills shortage affecting organizations worldwide. Key findings from the global report include:
- The cybersecurity skills shortage has contributed to critical IT positions not being filled, which increases organizations' cyber risks, such as breaches.
- Cybersecurity remains a priority for boards of directors and there is executive demand for increased IT security headcount.
- Technology-focused certifications are highly regarded by employers, serving as validation of skill sets.
Organizations recognize the advantage of recruiting and retaining diverse talent to help address the skills shortage, but doing so has presented a challenge.

Key Insights From The 2023 Cloud Security Report
Organizations continue to rapidly pursue digital transformation, expanding their operations to find innovative ways to connect with customers, embracing a more permanent work-from-anywhere (WFA) strategy, and so much more.
Cloud adoption is helping to drive this evolution. But while cloud adoption offers numerous benefits to enterprises, it also introduces unique challenges that security teams of all shapes and sizes must recognize and manage.
The 2023 Cloud Security Report, conducted by Cybersecurity Insiders and sponsored by Fortinet, surveyed 752 cybersecurity professionals from around the globe and across all industries to uncover the key priorities and challenges that must be addressed to empower cloud success. Increased costs, compliance requirements, hybrid and multi-cloud complexities, reduced visibility, and a lack of skilled practitioners cause organizations to slow or adjust their cloud adoption strategies. And, unsurprisingly, cloud security concerns remain a critical barrier.

The Latest Intel On Wipers
The mass distribution of wiper malware continues to showcase the destructive evolution of cyberattacks. Does the evidence corroborate the theory that the ongoing conflict in Europe is to blame for the rise in wipers?
Indeed. Furthermore, given that Russia is the main source of wiper activity, one can anticipate an increase in the use of wipers against countries and organizations that provide aid, weapons, or other logistical support to Ukraine.
While both ransomware and wipers increased in the second half of 2022, FortiGuard Labs research found it was wipers that really took off. And this trend shows no sign of slowing, which means defenders must take action and prepare now as if they will be targeted.

Social And Collaboration Software Spending To Reach $24.7 Billion By 2027
We've just released our latest forecast for end-user spending on social and collaboration software. We forecast that End-user spending on social and collaboration software in 2023 will be $14.5 billion, growing to $24.7 billion by 2027.
For this iteration, we combined Workstream collaboration with collaborative work management, employee communication applications, and general social/intranet products. These products share similar buyers and dynamics, making it logical to present them together. However, we do showcase separate growth rates for each sub-market and their trends.
The forecast is interesting this year in light of the COVID-19 pandemic's upheavals, which accelerated remote collaboration in many ways. While some of the sub-markets reverted to their prior trajectory, collaborative work management is best positioned to sustain its new path.

Top Reasons To Invest In An IT Asset Management System
In today's fast-paced and constantly evolving post-pandemic world, organizations continue to recognize the importance of effectively managing their physical and software assets. Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) tools have allowed organizations to track and trace their asset portfolio, monitor inventory levels and ensure that assets are used effectively and efficiently. These results have shown cost savings through reduced downtime and more efficient utilization of resources.
However, beyond traditional EAM systems, many organizations, from manufacturing and business to school systems, are implementing IT Asset Management (ITAM) systems and reporting impressive results in their operations. ITAM ensures an organization's assets are accounted for, deployed, maintained, upgraded, and disposed of when the time comes. Simply put, it's about ensuring that an organization's valuable items, tangible and intangible, are tracked and used.
For example, located north of Minneapolis, the St. Francis school district encompasses over 700 employees and 4000 students from kindergarten to senior high. Situated away from the city center, the district is spread across eight buildings that unite the surrounding suburban communities and takes pride in being the heart of community life. Its relentless focus is streamlining operations and leveraging technology for an excellent learning experience.

7 Open Source Tools That Benefit IT Operations Teams
Open source tools are often more flexible and cheaper than commercial alternatives. These seven can assist ITOps teams with their work.
Most IT operations teams can't rely solely on open source tools to manage the provisioning, monitoring, administration, and other tasks at the core of their workflow.
But in many cases, open source tools can address the bulk of IT operations work. And given that open source tools are generally lower in cost and more flexible than proprietary alternatives, they're an important resource for ITOps teams to leverage.

What Does Your Data Strategy Have To Do With Your ESG Goals?
You wouldn't be alone in assuming that the data strategy of a company and its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals are worlds apart when it comes to business priorities
And you wouldn't be the first to wonder how the two could possibly be connected. After all, a strategy for data is an IT responsibility, where as ESG is something driven by the sustainability officer, right?
Wrong.
The latest research from Lenovo has found that if you are deemed a Data Leader, and successfully harness the value from your data, then you are likely to be profiting more than those that don't. But the data also tells us that beyond your bottom line you are also considered better placed and more likely to be taking action against humanitarian issues like the energy crisis or global warming.

The Journey To Water Positive
This week, leaders from around the world are attending the first water-focused event hosted by the United Nations in 46 years.
It's an opportunity to search for answers as the world struggles with increasingly extreme water challenges highlighted in the recent IPCC report. Water is a precious finite resource, essential for life. For Microsoft, water management is critical to operations such as those needed to cool our datacenters and operate our buildings globally. And that is why, in 2020, Microsoft announced its commitment to become water positive by 2030 and joined the Water Resilience Coalition.
