Summary Insights: APIs as Potential Gateways for Security Attacks

Jul 8, 2021   //   by Cal Braunstein   //   Reports  //  No Comments

RFG Perspective: Recent malware attacks have exposed APIs (application programming interfaces) as an important area for security improvement. That is because APIs have become the currency of the digital economy – and, as such, require care and concern regarding their compliance with security policies and risk mitigation.

Summary Insights: Delivering End-to-End Disaster Recovery

May 11, 2021   //   by Cal Braunstein   //   Reports  //  No Comments

RFG Perspective: In the hybrid cloud world, end-to-end Disaster Recovery (DR) will have to be re-invented to cope with the accumulated technology changes. It’s no longer a matter of setting Recovery Time Objective (RTO) and Recovery Point Objective (RPO) policies in a closed network of large enterprise data centers – and sticking to them. What constitutes a disaster has changed – and the ability to recover from these damaging forces needs to be part of the DR plan.

AI Technology to Implement Secure End-To-End Elections

Apr 25, 2021   //   by Susan Eustis   //   Blog, Reports  //  No Comments

Wintergreen Research: AI provides the technology to implement secure end-to-end elections. Modern secure systems depend on new technology, new ways of conducting elections, new approaches to getting voters registered, new ways of casting votes, and new ways of getting votes counted. AI has the ability to implement secure systems that go end-to-end to protect the will of the voters and mitigate fraud by making it detectable.

Summary Insights: AIOps – Driving MTTR to Zero

Mar 17, 2021   //   by Cal Braunstein   //   Reports  //  No Comments

RFG Perspective: AIOps can provide a cost-effective way of improving mean time to recovery (MTTR). But that may be the wrong question to ask. Instead of using AIOps to be reactive, AIOps should be applied proactively to self-monitor and self-heal applications or operational environments before an outage even occurs.
