What role does machine learning play in today’s IT systems
[+] Show Hidden Comments
[-]
Craig Mullins
The role of machine learning today is minimal IMHO
[-]
Craig Mullins
But machine learning holds a great deal of promise for transforming traditional IT tasks
[-]
Graham Penrose
I love that topic and @craigmullins - I agree
[-]
Graham Penrose
But lets talk about possibilities
[-]
Graham Penrose
Identify hidden & unusual patterns in data; segregate threats & complex problems, free up senior people from noise #supersecuritychat
[-]
Craig Mullins
For example, consider turning all of the mounds of metrics gathered by mainframes over to AI/machine learning
[-]
Graham Penrose
empower more junior staff with less skills to handle more complex & obscure problems #supersecuritychat
[-]
Matt Crigger
Analyze bigger more complex data and deliver faster more accurate results #supersecuritychat
[-]
Craig Mullins
That is the promise of zOI
[-]
Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
@craigmullins yes and add quantum computing to the mix and wow!! #supersecuritychat
[-]
Craig Mullins
Machine learning techniques could provide autonomic mainframe systems mgmt + tuning based on metrics you already collect
[-]
Steven Dickens
for me its all hype... need to focus on real use cases...
[-]
Craig Mullins
And #MachineLearning can play a role in improved cybersecurity http://bit.ly/2woeCk...
[-]
Tina Tarquinio
I think ML is where you gain insights at scale, and quick enough to act on them once a use case is known
[-]
Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
machine learning can better handle error identification with the growing lines of code in applications #supersecuritychat
[-]
Craig Mullins
@StevenDickens3 Everything is "all hype" until it is not [grin]
[-]
Tina Tarquinio
ML lets you gain insights at scale and speed - which is important if you want to act on those insights !

Why is it important to run your business on an open and connected platform?
[+] Show Hidden Comments
[-]
Craig Mullins
A connected platform is imperative to enable access to the wealth of data + knowledge outside your perimeter
[-]
Graham Penrose
Its a metaphor for the USA at present – in an open world why close yourself off from all of those possibilities? #supersecuritychat
[-]
Craig Mullins
Openness can simplify the integration of your apps into existing systems + architectures
[-]
Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
a connected platform will be what #blockchain delivers readily on a global level #supersecuritychat
[-]
Tina Tarquinio
The best user experience will come from open and connected, without that a company is choosing to offer a lesser offering
[-]
Graham Penrose
@tinatarq well said Tina

Steven Dickens
look at the @openmfproject as an example, open collaborative projects build ecosystems that deliver...

How have non-traditional IT topics like #blockchain delivered in the digital economy?
[+] Show Hidden Comments
[-]
Craig Mullins
Blockchain can reduce the cost of verifying transaction attributes and networking
[-]
Steven Dickens
Blockchain is fundamentally a trust platform...
[-]
Tina Tarquinio
Look at the announcement yesterday - where Blockchain and food safety come together - thats a perfect example of new IT making an impact!
[-]
Ed Featherston
#blockchain brings us back to the trust question at the beginning, it brings a higher level of trust once understanding of it is reached
[-]
Craig Mullins
#Blockchain can scale globally to manage the allocation of scarce resources
[-]
Ed Featherston
having the #blockchain 'trust the trustless system' conversation can be fun!

Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
#Blaokchain is the next digital disruptor making peer to peer transactions happen instantly #supersecuritychat
[-]
Steven Dickens
I don't see Blockchain as non-traditional, its just the latest technology for building networks of trust...
[-]
Craig Mullins
@StevenDickens3 I guess it depends on how you define "traditional"
[-]
Tina Tarquinio
@StevenDickens3 Agree, I dont think its non trad, just new....
[-]
Ed Featherston
Non-traditional in the aspect of eliminating the 3rd party to verify txns, a process dating back centuries

Why is 100% encryption a game-changer to you?

Its the simplest, most effective and efficient way to ensure data is safe.
[-]
Graham Penrose
Ease of adoption & a baseline set of defences which astonishingly has not been delivered upon b4 in any meaningful way #supersecuritychat
[-]
Steven Dickens
ease of implementation to get you a comfort level of security
[-]
Craig Mullins
100% encryption is useful because many orgs do not know which data should be encrypted…
[-]
Craig Mullins
…pervasive and efficient encryption means you no longer have to figure it out because everything can be encrypted
[-]
Steven Dickens
@craigmullins exactly you need to encrypt everything always, when you are forced to makes choices thats when he problems start
[-]
Stephanie Freyer
the fact that any company can claim 100% security is groundbreaking
[-]
Ed Featherston
It is a blessing and a curse from my view. Good blanket protection, but then many can become complacent that problem is solved
[-]
Craig Mullins
@efeatherston Complacency is always a problem... back to Tina's "people will be people" comment

Tony Flath 🎙 Podcast
Encryption is the power to transfer information securely in a secretive way to the hacker 100% may be hard to hack #supersecuritychat

Adam Stein
Literally the keys to business data. Biz needs to cover encryption key generation, exchange, storage, use, crypto-shredding (destruction) and replacement of keys #encryption
