While #cloudcomputing is a great and quick way to accelerate growth and testing, and expand resources and availability, it’s important it’s not be equated with traditional on-premise #virtualization that limits you to costly configurations that may or may not meet your ROI targets and may not even be used for a few years (plus the need for someone to manage them physically—which may be required for sensitive sectors like banks and ID providers etc..). Cloud computing infrastructure allows you to “flexibly optimize resources” enabling modern trends like #microservices, #serverless, and more active #security_monitoring and #event_logging. They even allow you to have your own physical servers dedicated just for you (like #IBM’s bare metal configuration for your #VPC). If done right, these resources provide huge cost-savings and are as secure as any on-premise server can get. However, it’s important we get the basics right so we don’t miss out on these potential benefits and to educate ourselves as much as we can. Also to hire people who know what they’re doing.. I had an IT guy telling me that their cloud VMs are very secure on the web, because they.. they are accessed via SSH 🤦🏽‍♂️😳 Well, you better enable SSH if you’re remotely accessing a VM! But that’s not what your website visitors use to access your website! SSL/TLS is used for “secure transfer of data between the browser and your website”. #SSH on the other hand is a “secure SHELL” which is what you use to LOG IN to a remote server/computer—typically via a #CLI. Clear, sir?

If you like online AI chatbots 🤖 you're going to love RAG! 💙 RAG, or Retrieval-Augmented Generation, harnesses the response generation power of the large language models we all know, but it also optimizes and fact-checks the output based on more up-to-date and specific proprietary information. To illustrate the concept, it's like telling ChatGPT: before you give me your answer, educate yourself about my context by reading these specific documents that you can't access online. In this demo, I show you how to implement a private AI chatbot on the Dell APEX Cloud Platform for Red Hat OpenShift. The solution uses the Llama LLM and a continuously updated RAG pipeline. Check out the difference between an answer with and without RAG—it's a game-changer for business! Why? You have high accuracy without having to invest in model training. https://lnkd.in/gRnwm_SB #Iwork4Dell

Wow... IBM selling #QRadar to Palo Alto Networks. Surprising developments. _________________________ CNBC News: Palo Alto Networks is buying security assets from IBM to expand customer base ‣ Palo Alto Networks is buying IBM’s QRadar cloud software assets and moving customers over to its own platform. ‣ The two companies have been working together more closely in recent months but still had product overlap. ‣ IBM will adopt Palo Alto Networks products internally and train more than 1,000 consultants on them. https://lnkd.in/ekyPGCqe _________________________ What is Cybersecurity? Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting internet-connected systems such as hardware, software and data from cyberthreats. It's used by individuals and enterprises to protect against unauthorized access to data centers and other computerized systems. An effective cybersecurity strategy can provide a strong security posture against malicious attacks designed to access, alter, delete, destroy or extort an organization's or user's systems and sensitive data. Cybersecurity is also instrumental in preventing attacks designed to disable or disrupt a system's or device's operations.
