The Jurassic Park Problem & Software Development  (Part 1) by Lena Pejgan Nyström via Testing.pejgan.se ([Global] Security Breach) URL: https://ift.tt/VuQlTds Can we, are we legally allowed to and… should we? A lot of the big achievements and progress in human history comes down to someone asking “I wonder if I could…” and gently, or harshly, bending a few direct or indirect rules. If we always played it safe, who knows how many of our species’ innovations we would have missed out on. A lot of these tries end up not being technically feasible (at least then, by those people, in that context). Some succeed but later on are outlawed due to the dangers they end up representing. Some prove to be safe and helpful. And a lot end up being technically legal, mostly ok but abused by scrupulous people. In Jurassic Park – this is presented through a man’s dream of experiencing living with dinosaurs. He ignores warnings, makes a number of morally “doubtful” choices, mistakenly trusts the wrong person and in the end – we end up in utter chaos.   Technology has the possibility to change quality of life or even the direction of mankind. With the use of technical innovations we are able to communicate not only across the world, but across the stars! We are able to do surgeries and medical replacements that were science fiction only decades ago. When building software, we talk a lot about what is possible from a technical point of view, what a user would want and what would benefit the business. We don’t talk as much about other aspects, like the ethical and legal aspects and implications of a solution.  In this three part article we will look into the three exes of technically possible, ethically and/or morally right and legally acceptable and how they can work in tandem or against each other.. Part one, this post, will focus on giving an introduction to the concepts. Part two dives into what happens when the forces don’t align. And then finally in part three we will aim to give suggestions on how you can move towards being more conscious and deliberate when it comes to choices of ethics, morality and legal matters.  Can we build it? When it comes to technically possible – we are rather quickly running out of things that are truly impossible. We can put rockets on Mars, heck we can even debug and patch software on Mars. We are getting pretty consistent in cloning animals and have had excellent results in studies predicting diabetes and cancer using machine learning.  In 2002, Minority Report came out. 25 at the time, Lena remembers how unbelievably sci-fi it felt to her. No different to Star Trek. The technology used might as well have been magic to me at the time. But what felt like impossible feats to her, were actually just educated extrapolations from cutting-edge technologies at the time. The movie is argued to have shaped technological advancement for decades to come. Over 100 patents have been issued for ideas first presented in Min...

Interesting article about NIS2, how to comply and it's relationship with GDPR and DORA. The similarity that NIS2 has with NIST CSF is interesting also, which I find practical when it comes to demanding compliance between companies in the US and the UE. https://lnkd.in/e5aYnTQG

Gjensidige is the largest insurance company in Norway. In its line of work, security plays a vital role in process and reputation. Combining the capabilities of GitHub and Azure, the insurer developed a modern ‘DevSecOps’ environment that places security front-and-center at all times. #AI #developers #GitHub #Azure #CloudSemble #Microsoft #Git #dev #developer #appservices #linux #entra #terraform #devops #security #SIEM #Sentinel #Defender #hybrid #onpremise #cloud

Tails OS merges with Tor Project for better privacy, security The Tor Project and Tails OS are merging operations to better collaborate for a free internet by protecting users from surveillance and censorship. The idea of the merger came late last year from Tails, due to the organization outgrowing the existing structure and to protect its workers from the added stress of expanding the framework. "By joining forces, the Tails team can now focus on their core mission of maintaining and improving Tails OS, exploring more and complementary use cases while benefiting from the larger organizational structure of The Tor Project," the Tails team says.
