Autonomous Database For Dummies

May 7, 2019

Emerging technologies and automation permeate every aspect of our work and lives today. The real opportunity of these technologies — which include artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, the Internet of Things (IoT), and human interfaces — is to enable us to embrace innovation on a scale never seen before. These technologies help us reimagine what’s possible in work and in life  — from self-driving cars and personalized medicine to precision agriculture and smart cities that are changing the way we experience our world.

Understanding Ransomware and Strategies to Defeat it

whitePaper | March 5, 2020

Held Hostage in Hollywood: In February 2016 the Hollywood Presbyterian Medical Center, in Los Angeles, paid a ransom of about US$17,000 to hackers who infiltrated and disabled its computer network with ransomware. The hospital paid the ransom of 40 Bitcoins (currently worth about $16,664) after a “network infiltration” began on February 5, when employees reported being unable to access the hospital’s network and electronic medical records system. “The malware locked access to certain computer systems and prevented us from sharing communications electronically,” said hospital CEO Allen Stefanek.

Cross-Generational Security Of Mobile Telephony

whitePaper | August 4, 2022

Abstract— With the recent roll-outs of 5G networks and the rise of phones supporting the standard, it’s critical to examine the technical underpinnings of 5G system security. The fifth generation of 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) mobile telephony, the lack of understanding, outright hostility, and general confusion surrounding this roll-out is unmatched in the history of mobility. We aim to alleviate much of the confusion and hostility by providing an overarching description and security document.

22 Cybersecurity Tips for 2022

whitePaper | June 13, 2022

Many cyber-attacks involve ransomware, a form of malicious software or malware, designed to deny access to a computer system or data until a ransom is paid and a decryption key (commonly called a decryptor) is given to the victim. The encryption is virtually unbreakable without the decryption key, and you should not spend valuable time seeking a way around the encryption if you are attacked with it. Ransomware can spread in multiple ways, but most typically, through phishing emails or by unknowingly visiting an infected website. Ransomware can be catastrophic to healthcare and other organizations, preventing critical information and systems for patient care from being accessed, for example.

Leading Cybersecurity in Higher Education

whitePaper | February 11, 2023

Higher-education institutions are experiencing a high volume of cyberattacks and greater vulnerability to threats. Today’s educational technology environments connect a variety of endpoints—laptops, desktops, student management data, and email servers. They use Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices for managing environmental controls, security cameras, and door alarms. Both ends of the education spectrum gather, store, and use personal data from students and staff—and if they collect it, they must also protect it. As a result, schools need dedicated, skilled, and experienced executive leadership that is empowered, resourced, and responsible for campuswide cybersecurity issues.
