By Ilias Chantzos, Global Privacy Officer and Head of EMEA Government Affairs, Broadcom Inc. – When it comes to avoiding ransomware attacks, no sector remains safe anymore. Yet, the financial services sector in particular remains a favorite target for cyber criminals.

Broadcom Software Shows Why Zero Trust is Important Everywhere

By Andy Nallappan, Chief Technology Officer and Head of Software Business Operations, Broadcom Software – Perimeter defenses are a relic of the past, and it’s time for CIOs to reexamine dated assumptions — not the least of them being an over-reliance upon VPNs to protect company security.

Those questions can’t be put off any longer.

How to Move from Real-Time Data to Real-Time Decisions

By Cori Land, Corporate Strategist, DataStax – Data creates the context for decision-making. As you approach data saturation, your decisions become more likely to win. If you have anything less than data saturation, your decisions are made with more uncertainty than need be. That could be acceptable if the risk of getting it wrong is acceptable. But if precision matters, you’ll need more context. There are two dimensions to data saturation: breadth and depth of coverage.

By Ed Anuff, Chief Product Officer, DataStax – When it comes to digital transformation, data architectures have gotten short shrift. Many enterprises have focused on modernizing by moving applications to the cloud, or building ecommerce offerings (if they are retailers). But in many cases, data has been left out of the digital transformation story because data systems tend to be large, monolithic, fragile, and difficult to deal with—in other words, there are significant risks to the business if the modernization process doesn’t go as planned.
