Making the Shift from Relational to NoSQL

NoSQL database technology is increasingly chosen as viable alternative to relational databases, particularly for interactive web applications. Developers accustomed to the RDBMS structure and data models need to change their approach when transitioning to NoSQL. In this whitepaper you'll learn:

The main challenges that motivates the need for NoSQL
The differences between relational databases and distributed document-oriented databases
The key steps to perform document modeling in NoSQL databases
How to handle concurrency, scaling and multiple-place updates in a non-relational database

The Top 10 Enterprise NoSQL Use Cases

Over the last few years, NoSQL database technology has experienced explosive growth and accelerating use by large enterprises for mission critical applications. What’s remarkable is the variety of organizations and industries adopting NoSQL. Eight to 10 years ago, when NoSQL pioneers first deployed the technology, its use was limited to Internet-age companies like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and LInkedIn. Today, enterprises across virtually every industry are deploying NoSQL. In short, NoSQL is now ready for enterprise prime time.

The document will introduce key drivers of NoSQL adoption - technical requirements and business benefits, the challenges with relational databases, and the role of NoSQL in big data deployments before providing a guide to the top 10 enterprise NoSQL use cases we’re seeing in the market today.

The 3 D’s of DevOps: Develop, Deploy and Deliver – DELIVER

Uptime isn’t everything; it’s the only thing. With recent IDC research demonstrating the average cost of a critical application failure at between $500K and $1M, the need to keep downtime at bay is clear. Unfortunately, the average number of deployments is expected to double over the next two years putting additional pressure on keeping application running.

This Battlecard looks at how DevOps-led project not only accelerate delivery and deployment, but also can have a positive, serious impact on application quality and uptime. It demonstrates how IBM DevOps tools enhance security and compliance, and what businesses should do today to eliminate downtime as part of a continuous application delivery process.

RPT Behind the Syrian Front Lines

Cyber espionage is traditionally understood as a method aimed at achieving an information edge or a strategic goal. However, our research on malware activity related to the ongoing conflict in Syria indicates that such operations can provide actionable military intelligence for an immediate battlefield advantage. We release a new report “Behind the Syrian Conflict’s Digital Frontlines,” that documents a well-executed hacking operation that successfully breached the Syrian opposition.

RPT APT 30

Having some of the world’s most active economies, Asia Pacific countries are more likely to be a target of targeted attacks than the rest of the world. In “Operation Quantum Entanglement”, “Pacific Ring of Fire: PlugX / Kaba” and other FireEye reports, we have highlighted how Northeast Asian countries have been at the centre of advanced attacks. Today, we release a new report “APT 30 and the Mechanics of a Long-Running Cyber Espionage Operation,” which documents about a threat group, APT 30, who has consistently targeted Southeast Asia and India over the past decade.

WP Synful Knock

SYNful Knock is a stealthy modification of the router's firmware image that can be used to maintain persistence within a victim's network. It is customizable and modular in nature and thus can be updated once implanted. Even the presence of the backdoor can be difficult to detect as it uses non-standard packets as a form of pseudo-authentication.

The initial infection vector does not appear to leverage a zero-day vulnerability. It is believed that the credentials are either default or discovered by the attacker in order to install the backdoor. However, the router's position in the network makes it an ideal target for re-entry or further infection. Read this Whitepaper to learn more.

WP How Secure Do You Want to Be

Protecting against advanced cyber-attacks requires, among other things, that you meet the same level of sophistication as your attackers. Unfortunately, most current security technologies fail to meet that bar, resulting in organizations being breached when they thought they were protected.

A resulting breach can be devastating, leading most organizations to re-evaluate their security program. Critically evaluating your security program in its entirety and looking for the areas it can be improved is a daunting task.

WP Are You Ready to Respond

In spite of the best efforts of the cyber security industry to protect computer networks, breaches still happen, causing millions of dollars in damage, tainting the reputation of corporations, and causing end users to lose confidence in the security of their personal information. Given that new reality, it’s not enough for organizations to try to protect their networks from a breach, but to have an effective response plan in place for when a breach occurs anyway.

Today, companies need to conduct a comprehensive response readiness assessment that lays out what steps to take in the event of a breach in order to minimize the damage and recover from the intrusion as quickly as possible.
