Between late 2019 and early 2020, I interviewed more than 200 CTOs of growing US and EU startups on the topics of the Cloud and their working methodologies. I discovered that 86% of these SMB startups use the Cloud and that 48% started their business on Heroku and then migrated to a Cloud provider - especially AWS (Amazon Web Services).

Hazelcast is a distributed, in-memory computing platform for processing large data sets with extremely low latency. Its in-memory data grid (IMDG) sits entirely in random access memory, which provides significantly faster access to data than disk-based databases. And with high availability and scalability, Hazelcast IMDG is ideal for use cases like fraud detection, payment processing, and IoT applications.

Permissions, access controls, user rights, or privileges define what an identity can see or do in an organization. These terms are often used interchangeably based on context, and essentially perform the same function—granting or denying access to the resources in an enterprise.

Information security (infosec) is a broad field. Its practitioners behave more like artists than engineers. After all, the mandate for security is not “do X”, but instead “ensure no one can do X, Y, Z, ɑ, β, ɣ, etc.”. The array of possibilities leading to infosec failure are vast. It’s like trying to prove a negative, thus making the task near impossible. On one hand we have an impossible task, on the other we have the affordance of time.

Do you have a big data center? Do you have terabytes of confidential data stored in that data center? Are you worried that your data might be exposed to malicious attacks? One of the most prominent security features of storage solutions is encryption at rest. This blog will explain this in more detail and how it is implemented in Charmed Ceph, Canonical’s software-defined storage solution.
