UniSuper is a wakeup call for the importance of backups and restore testing! A joint statement from UniSuper CEO Peter Chun, and Google Cloud CEO, Thomas Kurian was issued on 8 May 2024: "UniSuper had backups in place with an additional service provider. These backups have minimised data loss, and significantly improved the ability of UniSuper and Google Cloud to complete the restoration." https://lnkd.in/ept3ws5C Outages and accidental deletions will occur. Make sure your business is ready, and your most critical data is backed up, and restore testing happening monthly. Reach out for advice how Backrightup automate this for likes of Allianz, Assurant, TelstraSuper, SpiritSuper, Nuvei, Isuzu, Siemens etc. #azure #aws #google #devops #outages #accidentaldeletion

🔒 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐌𝐅𝐀) 🔒 In today’s digital landscape, protecting your business from cyber threats is more critical than ever. One of the most effective ways to safeguard your sensitive information is through Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). 🛡️ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐌𝐅𝐀 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: MFA adds an extra layer of security by requiring users to verify their identity through multiple methods before accessing accounts or systems. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised. 📢 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭: The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) recently warned of increased cyber threat activity targeting Snowflake customers. Attackers exploited compromised user credentials to gain access to customer data. Snowflake's advisory emphasized the importance of enabling MFA to protect against such identity-based attacks. 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐅𝐀: • 𝐄𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: Provides additional verification steps, making it much harder for attackers to breach accounts. • 𝐑𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐢𝐬𝐤 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬: Protects against unauthorized access, even if passwords are compromised. • 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Helps meet industry standards and regulatory requirements for data protection. • 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐔𝐬𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭: Demonstrates your commitment to safeguarding user data, enhancing trust and credibility. 🔧 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩: At Safeculcha, we specialize in helping small and medium businesses (SMBs) implement robust cyber security measures, including MFA. Our services include: • Cyber security risk assessments • Implementation of MFA across your systems • Continuous monitoring and support 📞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 Don’t wait for a cyber attack to strike.

When data sovereignty matters, Scality makes a way. While New Zealand doesn’t currently have mandated data sovereignty regulations, there is a strong cultural desire to keep data in-country. For many customers of IT service provider vGRID New Zealand, this is an important selection criterion that can't always be assured by public cloud options. vGRID turned to Scality and its partners, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Veeam Software, to create its SecureStore solution. Data is retained in an agile environment, which grows as customers do — without the added costs for recovery or data movement often incurred when using public cloud providers. Using the vGRID SecureStore solution and service model, customers can remain confident that their data is securely retained with data sovereignty and not replicated to data centers outside the country. Read below to find out why Scality + HPE + Veeam = cost-effective, sovereign and secure at scale. https://lnkd.in/gWy54cee

Infobelt’s OMNI Archive Manager (OAM) makes it easy to archive, retain, retrieve, and defensibly destroy data. OAM enables you to decommission unused apps, move the underlying data to a secure, searchable archive, and automatically delete data at the end of its life. Because data is stored in a read-only, tamper-proof format, you are assured of efficiently maintaining compliance. Improve the availability and performance of your most critical systems. Free up processing power from your production databases and reduce costs by optimizing infrastructure to manage data growth, and limit data exposure. https://zurl.co/lFuQ #DataGovernance #InformationLifecycle #DefensibleDataDisposition

Is your data ready to ensure the success of the implementation of your new system? As high as 70-80% of system implementations fail, and of this, it has been cited that as high as 30% of the data in the system once launched is incorrect. In the countless system implementations I have been part of, I always start with “how confident are you on the quality of the data going into the new system, and what is your data preparation plan?”. We are currently working with a client who is moving from outsourcing to insourcing various assets, and is looking for a system to manage the assets once insourced. The challenge they have is the data going into the system is manually constructed in Excel, and lacks governance to ensure it is correct, accurate and timely. If not addressed, this lack of data quality issues will hinder the system implementation, provide inaccurate reports and may also put the insourcing strategy at risk. Prior to any new system implementation, it is critical you ensure your data is secure and fit-for-purpose, and to ensure your processes are documented and optimised. Only then, will you be able to truly realise the envisioned ROI. In addition to data quality, it is also critical businesses understand what data is being captured, where the data is being held and how it is stored to ensure they are meeting regulatory requirements.

Announcing a new Webel IT Australia service offering: Mathematica-driven spreadsheet data and equation migration to Wolfram Cloud and/or database and/or XML Schema and/or JSON and more. Do you have have "siloed" data and equations stuck in old spreadsheet files from Excel or LibreOffice Calc? Webel IT Australia has the ultimate data and equation migration solution using custom Wolfram Mathematica libraries that have been employed on substantial engineering spreadsheets for previous clients. Spreadsheet data is not structured data. Just having, for example, labels on rows that indicate where data for a "component" starts - separated from data for other components by blank lines - is NOT structured data. Whilst there are many products for reading spreadsheet data, they can only go so far. They mostly only enable you to read the data, but it's still unstructured, just rows and columns without true relationships to components, devices, clearly defined data groups, or a data schema. The Webel system leverages the amazing Wolfram Mathematica - the most powerful mathematics and data processing tool in history - to take it much further. And once the data is encapsulated in Mathematica as structured data using the Webel system, it can be exported to a truly massive range of databases and cloud repositories (including the very convenient Wolfram Cloud) other data formats and serialisations including XML Schema and JSON. But it doesn't just stop there. The Webel spreadsheet migration service optionally includes reverse engineering of underlying spreadsheet VBA formulae and macros to symbolic algebra equations (actual mathematics) in the Wolfram Language - which can then be combined with incredibly powerful numerical analysis, plotting, visualisation, 3D modelling, and all of the amazing advanced computing goodies Mathematica offers. Additionally, solutions can be captured as Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for deployment to full Mathematica or to the cost-effective Wolfram Player Pro for end users. And of course, being Webel IT Australia, the entire system is modelled in Systems Modeling Language (SysML). As part of the service, we even provide SysML Parametrics Diagrams and Activity Diagrams of the final networks of symbolic equations, along with generated tables of human-friendly formatted equations.

It does no harm to have external support of experts and ask "We want to do ABC, what Software and hardware will be appropriate?" | Proper companies like Access Tech should be more than willing to do this at a reasonable cost. Our recent consultancy was with A) a tobacco company which was in need of Data capturing laptops. We got insights and managed to share recommendations. Upon agreeing we supplied the laptops and they are happy. (They are there on our reference list on our company profile) B) three schools which needed laptops for the Zimsec candidates registration. With the aid of specifications from Zimsec IT department we discussed options balancing requirements and the budget until we settled on a good options. The schools are happy. What you waiting for?
