IBM To Help Automate Cloud Data Protection With Acquisition Of Polar Security

IBM is announcing it has acquired Polar Security, an innovator in technology that helps companies discover, continuously monitor and secure cloud and software-as-a-service (SaaS) application data – and addresses the growing shadow data problem. Today’s news marks IBM’s 5th acquisition in 2023. Since Arvind Krishna became CEO in April 2020, IBM has acquired more than 30 companies, bolstering its hybrid cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. The pandemic drove a sharp increase in cloud adoption, leaving organizations to grapple with a deluge of cloud data that led to more silos and “shadow data”– sensitive data not being tracked or managed.…

IBM Watson Orchestrate: Unlocking New Levels Of Productivity For Every Employee

The world is changing faster than ever, and the way we work needs to keep up with the possibilities that new technologies bring to our day-to-day work. Companies that want to stay competitive need to help their employees quickly build new skill sets and adapt to changing market conditions. Workforce demographic trends compel us to reimagine how we work. A large share of the worker population—Millennials and Generation Z—grew up using technology in their day-to-day lives, and they expect the tech they use at work to function the same as it does in their personal lives. Those businesses that do…

Learn Expect By Writing And Automating A Simple Game

Code a “guess the number” game in Expect. Then, learn the real power of Expect with a separate script to automate playing the game. While trying to automate my workflow, I hit upon a configuration utility that defied meaningful automation. It was a Java process that didn’t support a silent installer, or support stdin, and had an inconsistent set of prompts. Ansible’s expect module was inadequate for this task. But I found that the expect command was just the tool for the job. My journey to learn Expect meant learning a bit of Tcl. Now that I have the background to create simple programs, I can better…

Delegate Common Tasks With An Open Source Automation Tool

Rundeck is an open source software used to quickly automate manual tasks. Use it to create workflows consisting of commands, scripts, and APIs. A key precept for site reliability engineering (SRE), platform engineering, and *Ops teams is automating non-essential toil. Think of toil as any tasks that must be done for systems to run smoothly but don’t directly impact functionality. Tasks like running security updates and installing or upgrading packages fall into the toil category. As teams become more proficient at creating automation, automating for other teams becomes more appealing. Delegating tasks to other technical teams so they can self-serve saves…

The Good And Bad Of ‘Zero-Touch’ Cloud Operations

We’re getting closer to true zero-touch cloud operations, or so we keep hearing. Take a clear-eyed look at the advantages and disadvantages before jumping in. Zero-touch cloud operations is the concept of automating cloud operations (cloudops) processes to minimize the need for human intervention. Specifically, it involves automating the deployment, configuration, scaling, monitoring, and resolution of issues on all cloud platforms (public and private), and even extends to traditional legacy systems and edge computing systems as well. Physically, it is a layer of technology running above the cloud providers (e.g., a metacloud). It can be anything that’s able to automate cloudops,…

IT Prediction: The Vast Majority Of Security Operations Workloads Will Be Automated

Editor’s note: This post is part of an ongoing series on IT predictions from Google Cloud experts. Check out the full list of our predictions on how IT will change in the coming years. Prediction: By 2025, 90% of security operations workflows will be automated and managed as code There is not enough funding, resourcing, skills, or broadly applicable solutions to help manage security risk effectively across modern technology environments. Organizations are struggling to identify which alerts and security areas to prioritize while moving quickly through their digital transformation. This challenge is compounded by an exponential increase in data…
