Here is a Storify collating the online conversation around the Open, Portable, Decoupled – How should

At this year’s SpotOn London, one of the most popular and widely tweeted sessions organised

In this episode of the IoT Insider podcast, Bernard Montel provides a brief history of the evolution of the Cloud and the challenges of securing it.

Christmas is Mr. Putter's favorite time of the year. He starts thinking about Christmas presents in July. It's easy to buy gifts for the postman, the grocer, and the librarian. But he has to think very hard about a gift for his neighbor, Mrs. Teaberry. Mrs. Teaberry likes strange things. She likes coconuts that look like monkey heads and tiny dresses that fit her teapots. She even likes fruitcake. That's it! He'll make her a good cake for Christmas, a light and airy one that won't break her toe if she drops it. He's never baked a cake before, but it should be a cinch. Among the delightful creations of this popular Newbery Medal honoree, Mr. Putter is perhaps the most comical and endearing. Narrator John McDonough is charming in the title role. Young readers will beg to hear all the Mr. Putter series again and again.

Newbery medal-winner and recipient of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award, Cynthia Rylant instills gentle humor into this cozy read. When Mr. Putter goes outside without a hat on, he catches a cold. Tabby tries to make Mr. Putter feel better, but "colds aren't so much fun when you're old." Yet his neighbor Mrs. Teaberry and her dog Zeke know just the thing to help Mr. Putter recover. "... will resonate with kids who know what it's like to feel dispirited when felled by a cold."-Booklist

Cynthia Rylant's 19th Mr. Putter & Tabby book has all the sly, sweet humor that has made the series a huge success. In Mr. Putter & Tabby Clear the Decks, Mr. Putter and his fine cat Tabby are itchy. Not because of fleas, but because it's hot, they're bored, and they're out of orangesicles. So when their neighbor Mrs. Teaberry suggests a sightseeing cruise, they're excited about an adventure. The boat makes them feel free! Plus they get orangesicles! But when it's time to go home, there's a little problem with Mrs. Teaberry's good dog Zeke.

Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant weaves tales with tremendous appeal to young readers, and her popular Mr. Putter and Tabby series stars two of Rylant's most memorable characters. It's no secret that Mr. Putter does not like to dance. But when his neighbor Mrs. Teaberry develops a fondness for ballroom dancing, she is able to convince the reluctant Mr. Putter to join her for a night at the Crystal Ballroom- with beloved pets Tabby and Zeke in tow, of course!

Mr. Putter and his fine cat, Tabby, love to take naps -- too many naps. What they need is a sport! Luckily Mrs.Teaberry and her good dog, Zeke, know of a baseball team they can join. It's not long before Mr. Putter is ready to play ball, but will his creaky knees cooperate? And can Zeke avoid wreaking havoc on the field? Win or lose, this baseball team will never be the same!

In the event of a security breach, a software inventory is essential to determine what was breached, and who needs to be notified.  First responders require a software inventory to perform forensic analysis and determine breach notification requirements for vendors, business partners, and regulatory bodies. Organizations that have a clear understanding of software in their environment can quickly assess a breach impact and identify affected areas. If legal proceedings are involved, an organized software inventory greatly assists in limiting data handed over to Law Enforcement and assists technical staff in depositions or testimony. 

Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans specify requirements for restoration of critical assets and services, but these need to be identified to establish a Recovery Time Objective (the amount of time to recover a service to an acceptable level of operation) and Recovery Point Objective (the last point of known good data.)  Developing and maintaining a software inventory is a critical first step in implementing an effective cyber security program.

A software inventory helps demonstrate compliance with regulatory controls and Service Level Agreements (SLA) for software used in the environment. From the perspective of “less is more,” a software inventory also identifies unnecessary software running in the environment, which increases the attack surface without providing a business advantage.

Security operations perform scans to identify operating system and application versions, including unsupported software and unpatched systems. This information is used to establish a secure baseline and measure drift from that baseline. A software inventory is necessary to determine if the software is authorized, appropriately licensed, supported, and has the most recent security fixes applied.
Identifying the authorized software assets is an important step to ensure critical assets are protected. The larger the organization, the more difficult the inventory process becomes. Tenable.io and Tenable.sc help organizations build a software inventory. There are several software discovery plugins that run by default in the following scan templates:

• Basic and Advanced Agent Scans
• Advanced (Network) Scan
• Basic (Network) Scan
• Credentialed Patch Audit
• Internal PCI Network Scan

Maintaining a software inventory aids in cyber hygiene and minimizes unauthorized software installation. Many organizations perform an annual audit by an external third party, where they are required to enumerate authorized software that is running in the environment. Organizations that maintain a current software inventory throughout the year can produce information required by auditors and vendors with minimal effort. 

The report and its chapters are available in the Tenable.sc Feed, a comprehensive collection of dashboards, reports, assurance report cards and assets. The report can be easily located in the Tenable.sc Feed under the category Discovery and Detection.

The report requirements are: 

• Tenable.sc 5.19.1
• Nessus 10.0.1

Security leaders need to SEE everything, PREDICT what matters most and ACT to address cyber risk and effectively align cybersecurity initiatives with business objectives. Tenable.io discovers and analyzes assets continuously to provide an accurate and unified view of an organization’s security posture.

Organized By: Center for Emerging Democracies

Immigration has become a polarizing issue across democratic, authoritarian, and transitioning contexts. Anti-immigrant rhetoric has become part of the standard playbook for authoritarian populists. Immigration policies in ostensibly democratic countries are becoming more restrictive, all while political conflict, war, pandemics, and intensifying climate change are leading to greater numbers of people migrating in search of safety and a better life. With immigration discourse taking up much of the oxygen in politics across the world, understanding the interconnections among immigration, democracy, and authoritarianism has become more important than ever. This roundtable brings together distinguished scholars to discuss how controversies surrounding immigration and immigrants have become critical for sustaining or upending democracy.

Moderator: Nandini Dey, Research Fellow, Center for Emerging Democracies.

Speakers:

Rebecca Wai
Ph.D. Candidate, Political Science Department, Freedom House Emerging Democracies Fellow, University of Michigan

Erin Chung

If you can identify these brands based on tagline alone, it's possible you... are a 90s kid.

The '90s were arguably the peak moment of advertisers trying to make an impression on us that could last for decades. They got us to sing their jingles and say their slogans. These kinds of ads are called brand or image marketing. And it became a lot harder to pull off in the 21st century.

On today's show, we look back at the history of advertising, and two pretty unassuming products that totally transformed ads.

This show was hosted by Sarah Gonzalez and Kenny Malone. It was produced by James Sneed, and engineered by James Willets. It was fact checked by Sierra Juarez, and edited by Molly Messick. Alex Goldmark is Planet Money's executive producer.
