VMware Launches New Regional Digital Hub to Foster Greater Innovation and Inclusive Growth in Asia

The future IT professional will not need to configure and fix things, they will need to help their organisation understand how to harness the power of technology. This hub looks interesting and worth a visit maybe even from people further afield than Singapore to experience, hands-on, how technology is truly transforming business and how the business of technology itself is transforming. Read more about what sounds like an amazing experiential way of learning about technology that powers digital business.

The best way to defend yourself against any attack (cyber or otherwise) is to have a good idea of the most likely ways you are going to be targeted.

This research by Lacework Labs is really valuable, and not surprising that the number one issue is still how you set things up – if you misconfigure your cloud settings you leave yourself open for attack.

A lot of other very helpful and useful observations in this piece.
