hi Ed good to see you! #supersecuritychat

Welcome!

Glad you were able to join!

Thanks for joining, Ed!

hello sir...

Hi Ed

FYI my main areas of interest are “privacy”, “freedom”, “civil liberty” & how tech protects or erodes these principles #supersecuritychat

The most powerful transaction processing system in the world - can take on 100 CyberMondays and then some :)

I had a laugh at that when it popped up

If Nate Diaz was Windows & Chad Mendes was Apple, then the m/f is Conor McGregor, might seem like they are done but then #supersecuritychat

biggest and best server for applications that need scale, security, availability or performance

it's a super powerful computer that makes sure all of your transactional data is safe - and never goes down.

@GrahamPenrose2 love that analogy!!!

I have a songlist on spotify that might help them understand it ?

mainframe to a millennial #supersecuritychat ummm #WTF is a #mainframe #supersecuritychat

@stevendickens3 TY :) its an Irish thing

@TmanSpeaks they would want to know when their amazon prime package doesnt arrive :) !!

A mainframe is a large, powerful computer that can supports lots of users simultaneously…

Mainframe is a term that resonates with a millennial they see it as a big black box at the end of a network, which is not far off, what it actually is.

…and is used by the world’s biggest organizations…

…super-efficient, super-secure, and able to support large workloads efficiently…

…It can optimally support complex tasks that smaller computers cannot.

Hmmmm.....it is a much maligned computer system that is still responsible for huge volumes of transactions in todays business world that tends to be taken for granted :-)

Think of it as a Pikachu, hard to get your hands on one - but worth the wait. :)

Maybe also need to differentiate mainframe (business) from supercomputer (scientific)

#mainframe gots some power under the hood #supersecuritychat

@craigmullins to me they are both business use cases, just in different industries with different goals and requirements

I blogged about a related question in How to Tell Your Mom About the Mainframe http://bit.ly/2wyBuy...

I like to call it the most trusted 'Infinity Server' of today's enterprise IT environment. Many computing architectures have come and gone, but z Systems have experienced *perpetual re-invention*

mainframe is the cloud *before* it got wings, a new heart, running shoes and become accessible to nearly every app, data type or user

you make a fundamental decision on who you trust, and who you let have access to your data...

How many people know that their data is always transported, stored & processed using unweakened crypto? #supersecuritychat

no many at all #supersecuritychat

to me, trust is everything. In the current climate its a differentiator at a brand level..

A1: Without trust the digital economy fails because participation declines

is there trust in the digital economy that's the better question I think #supersecuritychat

Declining trust, prompted by unease at the way some are using digital technology, can undermine the societal benefits of digitalization

A1: Means not having to worry, and trusting the technology to enable success and innovation

A1: Trust is the base of the customer experience. Without it, you have no biz #supersecuritychat /cc: @IBMzSystems

@TmanSpeaks That is indeed a good question. Do you not trust the sites you do business with?

@StevenDickens3 Totally agree about security really having an effect at the brand level!

I think you have to build trust but really pay attentioon to #cybersecurity and do your homework #supersecuritychat

A1: it means that we are totally digital, and we need to trust that the data we share with the world is safe

A1: without trust then its hard to engage, would you work with someone who you don't trust?

a digital economy that can be trusted relies on ethics, tech, process, + practical enforceable regulations

@craigmullins I do trust sites but only after doing my homework way to many phishy things out there #supersecuritychat

Digital ethics are an important - and often forgotten - ingredient in a trusted digital economy

Trust is a critical success factor, if not there, or suspect, others ready to take your place

@TmanSpeaks What constitutes a good process for homework then?

Trust in the IT infrastructure is essential for any organization that's embarking on a digital transformation initiative. Savvy CIOs and CTOs know that superior encryption is the key to securing an organization's transaction data assets

Companies must consider whether trust is being enhanced or eroded at every step of the customer journey

also multiple forms/levels trust in in org, trust in technology, systemic trust, must be able to trust by verify

reseach the site, make sure there are lots of followers and postive online feedback for a variety of people, if the application is often updated be causious #supersecuritychat

I want to know that my data is always transported, stored & processed using unweakened crypto #supersecuritychat

@craigmullins ...because their customers are considering that!

I found this cybersecurity white paper to be informative https://accntu.re/2v...

There's a direct link between Digital Trust and the next stage of eCommerce growth. Why does this matter? According to the findings from a recent Gartner market survey, growth is the #1 business priority for 58 percent of CEOs.

@dhdeans agreed use dual authentication lock your data down, have a clean backup process think about a realtime DR plan #supersecuritychat

if you're going #digital make sure #cybersecurity is one of your top concerns and rinse and repeat #supersecuritychat

Cash was simple-easy to trust. Checks, simple tech (IOU), trust the banks. Credit cards, more complex tech; trust in banks still carries. With complex tech+cyber threat, trust in bank not enough to guarantee integrity, must have trust in tech.
