Make Cybersecurity a Strategic Asset

By elevating cybersecurity from an operational necessity to a source of opportunity, leaders can boost resilience and business advantage.





Just saying…

Ransomware Could Be Major Threat to 2020 Election

Ransomware could pose a significant threat to the US election infrastructure, as aging software and potentially vulnerable voting machines could be targeted by criminal elements or by foreign-based cyber-attacks.

According to NTT Ltd.’s global threat report for September, ransomware could be deployed and lay in wait to be activated on election day, or once voting machines are activated, and could pose a significant threat to voting processes and procedures, potentially bringing voting operations to a halt.





Speaking freely, this is a can of worms.

For my researchers.

Making Scholarly Articles More Accessible for Machine Learning

Making Scholarly Articles More Accessible for Machine Learning – “ArXiv, an open-access digital repository of scholarly articles maintained by Cornell University in New York, made available all of its 1.7 million research articles on Kaggle, a public online platform for machine learning training datasets. For each article, the dataset includes information such as the author, article title, category, abstract, citations, as well as a link to the full-text PDF. Researchers can more easily use the data from arXiv articles to perform trend analysis, create algorithms that group scholarly papers by topic, and improve search engines for scholarly papers.”

Diffblue launches a free community edition of its automated Java unit testing tool

Diffblue, a spin-out from Oxford University, uses machine learning to help developers automatically create unit tests for their Java code. Since few developers enjoy writing unit tests to ensure that their code works as expected, increased automation doesn’t just help developers focus on writing the code that actually makes a difference but also lead to code with fewer bugs.

So far, Diffblue only offered its service through a paid — and pricey — subscription. Today, however, the company also launched its free community edition, Diffblue Cover: Community Edition, which doesn’t feature all of the enterprise features in its paid versions, but still offers an IntelliJ plugin and the same AI-generated unit tests as the paid editions.
