Two newly discovered critical security vulnerabilities are very likely affecting your laptop and phone, security researchers revealed on Wednesday. The good news is that patches are coming to protect your devices.

There’s nothing better than kicking a new year off with the wind at your back and a core set of resolutions to guide you to greatness. Indeed my fellow leaders, it’s that time again to ready ourselves to embody the very definition of “lead”, and show the way. I’ve found that the best way for me to do that is to commit myself to these 10 resolutions, and if I can stick to them diligently, especially in the first couple of months, I know I’ll be in the best position t

While data platforms, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and programming platforms have evolved to leverage big data and streaming data, the front-end user experience has not kept up. Holding onto old BI technology while everything else moves forward is holding back organizations.

Newly announced vulnerabilities, which were publicly disclosed by the Register on Tuesday, are in almost every modern computer chip.

In that sense, the bridge between creativity and innovation is made from the bricks of execution. That is when the rubber meets the road. One of the key characteristics of someone who innovates is that they run small pilots to test their hypothesis.

That’s all spot-on, for sure, as DevOps does all of those things.

Can a database technology really kill an entire industry? That’s what I was asking myself at one of two blockchain presentations I recently attended. The first was a panel discussion in which knowledgeable blockchain evangelists predicted blockchain will indeed lead to the demise of entire industries. The second was a presentation by a blockchain expert for a Fortune 50 company.

When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Regardless of what project management software you use, be it JIRA, Asana, Trello, or whatnot, one thing is true for all of them: adding new tasks is really easy. Finishing things requires actually doing the work or coming up with an extremely compelling reason to delete a task. The notion of tasks being easy to create and hard to remove will naturally result in many tasks piling up.
