The What, When, Where, Who, How and Why Behind Security Incidents

Security people can be infuriating. All too often security incidents are confused in a fog of acronyms, data, and analysis. The industry, as a whole, has failed to make information presentation humanly readable and visual.

Picture the scene of a crime; and enter our hero… the police investigator. As he scans the scene for evidence, he tries to build a picture of the events that led to this crime. There are only 6 questions in his mind… What, When, Where, Who, Why and How?

And so, to solve a problem, either in the physical world, or your cyber environment, these elements are the factors you must question and decipher to solve a problem or collect the right information.

The Advantages of Partnering with an MSSP or Building a SOC Internally

Outsourcing to an MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) or building an internal SOC (Security Operations Center), each comes with its own set of advantages and challenges.

The aim of both is to enhance your cyber security, develop your systems, and protect your data, processes, and people. However, knowing which strategy to take can be a hard decision to make, especially if you are unsure of what each approach requires in the first place.

MDM is Dead. It’s Time to Shift to Android DevOps

Alright, so maybe not completely dead, but Mobile Device Management (MDM) - while necessary - cannot (alone) meet the needs of innovative, agile businesses, especially when customer experience and value are on the line.

With MDM, you can’t control the intake of changes to a fleet - risking widespread downtime - or debug your applications in real-time to prevent poor user experience. Enter Android DevOps where quality and speed are at the heart of dedicated device management.

According to Sam Guckenheimer of Microsoft Azure, “For a DevOps team...everything they do is about making a customer’ experience better.” Android DevOps enables businesses to focus on their business - not the platform - so they can deliver the ultimate customer experience.

Continue reading to learn more about how making the shift to Android DevOps can help you get back to what matters most: delighting your customers.

“Not Your Father’s” Online Video Platform

Online video platforms (OVPs) first launched in the late 1990s and early 2000s with a similar promise to the once-iconic automobile brand: “Not your father’s Oldsmobile” campaign. However, as OVPs evolved, partly to address our insatiable appetite for video, they became more and more complex. Tools for every step of the video-delivery process—from ingestion to storage to encoding, and so forth—came with their own set of shiny knobs and dials. Configurations and procedures for even trivial tasks required a study of user manuals, causing disenchantment, stress, and aversion all around. Cloudinary is excited to be launching new, game-changing video-management capabilities today to tackle that challenge.
