It breaks your heart: How Geraldine Brooks turned her grief into a book of love – Sydney Morning Herald

When I joined the Sydney Morning Herald as a cadet journalist in 1981, Geraldine Brooks was just ahead and already a dashing role model. While I measured up photographs with a ruler and pencil for the next days newspaper, she was paddling a raft down the Franklin River with the Australian Democrats leader, Don Chipp, and filing news stories that would help save the Tasmanian wilderness from a hydroelectric dam.

Back in the office, Brooks was easy to like, a gamine figure with a bubbling laugh, bottomless curiosity, and an appetite for fiery sambal and moral causes. Soon she was off again, swept by a scholarship to New Yorks Columbia University and marriage to American journalist Tony Horwitz into a life of adventure and homesickness. Shes been riding the rapids of success ever since, from war correspondent to international bestselling author, honoured with a Pulitzer Prize and the Order of Australia.

And here we are, women in our 60s, talking via Zoom between Sydney and Marthas Vineyard. Brooks is in the living room of her 18th-century hobbit house in an island village of Massachusetts. Her younger son, Bizu, is upstairs studying for his final school exams. Her chocolate labrador, Bear, is asleep under her feet and her mare, Valentine, is outside with a pasture mate, Screaming Hot Wings. Its her elder son Nathaniels 26th birthday and he calls from Boston, where he works as a biotech venture capitalist. (I cant say that with a straight face, Brooks says.)

There are always cracks in what looks like a perfect life. Horwitzs sudden death three years ago opened an abyss from which Brooks had to crawl to finish Horse, a novel infused with love, loss and shared history. Now theres a book to promote and Brooks, ever the trouper, reminds me her journalism career began not in glory but in cadet hell.

Her first job at the Herald in 1979 was recording details of horses performances at Sydney racecourses. As well as enduring a fiesta of bum-pinching in the office, she got by on little sleep as she went on Fridays from the gallops to the trots to the last refuge of the desperate punter, the dogs and back on Saturday.

It wasnt reporting, she says. It was just taking down reams of information about every horse in every single race where they were at the turn, where they were at the finish, what the odds started at, what they went out to and you had to be very accurate, so it was very good training. I see that now from a distance, but at the time it was just a forced march. And the thing that was very disturbing to someone who loves animals was seeing how many horses got injured in the course of my time.

After three months, she hoped to move to some civilised bastion like letters [to the editor] but she was sent back for another three months. I thought I might have to quit. But I didnt, of course.

Why, she wondered, was her degree in politics and art history being wasted at the racetrack? The answer emerges in her sixth novel.

The horse was so sure-footed, we were cantering along cliff edges ... It was an exquisite experience.

Brooks has a knack for writing historical fiction that plugs into the zeitgeist and pumps blood into subjects that turn out to be timeless. She couldnt know that her first novel, Year of Wonders, about an English village devastated by plague, fear and superstition in 1665, would see a spike in sales after 20 years when COVID-19 caused a replay.

Horse imaginatively fills out the true stories of a famous 19th-century American racehorse, his black enslaved trainer and the artist who immortalised them in paintings, finding echoes in the fragile complexity of race relations in the United States today.

Brooks had not ridden a horse until, at the age of 53, she attended a writers conference at a Santa Fe ranch, where a wrangler urged her on to an experienced mount that would not let her fall.

The next day I went with this gorgeous Cherokee guide on a gorgeous horse on a ride through the arroyos of New Mexico, and the horse was so sure-footed, we were cantering along cliff edges and it seemed completely unremarkable to me. It was an exquisite experience.

At home a friend offered her a horse for her five acres, she took riding lessons and became a devotee. So her ears twitched at a lunch when she heard a Smithsonian official talking about Lexington, the fastest racehorse of the 19th century and the countrys most prolific sire to winning horses. Neglected for decades in an attic of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, his skeleton had recently been restored and put on display at the International Museum of the Horse in Lexington, Kentucky.

Brooks had just published her fourth novel, Calebs Crossing, based on the story of the first Native American to study at Harvard, and was wrestling with her fifth, The Secret Chord, a fictionalised life of the Bibles King David.

Impatient to write about Lexington, she says, I describe it as seeing the handsome guy across the room whos giving you the eye but you have to leave with the one what brung you The minute Horse moves in, like the handsome guy, he starts dropping his towels in the hall. Every project becomes less romantic and less easy once it moves in with you.

Horse took her back to the Civil War era of March, the novel that won the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for a story inspired by Louisa May Alcotts Little Women and her fathers military service. After his racing career, Lexington also served bravely in the war that ended slavery. Then she learnt about the history of the black horsemen who were invisible but essential to the success of the racehorses that made white plantation owners wealthy.

Once you knew it, theres no way not to write about it, and once youre writing about it you cant write about racism in this country as though its something done and dusted and over.

Donald Trumps presidency brought racial inequality to the fore, fuelling the Black Lives Matter movement. Trump is not named in the novel but Brooks says: The thumping noise of the times really influenced the writing of the book it had to, I think. We had eight years of Obama and then we had Trump. Its just like we had Reconstruction and then we had Jim Crow. The country can only take so much change and then theres a backlash, and were living with the backlash.

Her narrative moves between 1850s Kentucky and Louisiana, 1950s New York, and 2019 Washington DC. She writes with affection about Lexington and Jarret, the young enslaved horse trainer, and gives voice to Thomas Scott, a real artist who often painted Lexington and unusually put black Jarret, his groom in a portrait. A century later, one painting reached the hands of Manhattan art dealer Martha Jackson.

In the contemporary story Theo, son of Nigerian diplomats, is an art historian who finds a painting of a horse among a neighbours garbage, and Australian-born Jess is a scientist working at the Smithsonian to identify the skeleton of a horse. Fate, of course, will bring them together in a complicated dance of forensics and attraction. Delicate ground for a white woman, Brooks knows, but she has watched her son Bizu, adopted from Ethiopia, navigate his way through American society.

In May 2019, halfway through writing the novel, Brooks received a phone call with the unimaginable news that Horwitz had collapsed on a Maryland street and died in hospital of cardiac arrest. He was 60 and on tour for his book Spying on the South, retracing the travels of Frederick Law Olmsted, who was an undercover reporter in the Antebellum South before becoming the designer of New Yorks Central Park.

Brooks could not write for a year, scrambling to work out aspects of their life that Horwitz had managed. She was helped by a friends advice, taken from US Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Do your work. It wont be your best work, but it will be good work and it will be what saves you. COVID gave her solitude to finish Horse and grief added a minor chord. It breaks your heart open to make you more in tune with suffering, so I think that it does do something to how you portray your characters.

In their intertwined careers, Horwitz was the Civil War obsessive. His bestseller Confederates in the Attic was the first book that took him back to the South, and for some years the couple lived in rural Virginia, where a Union soldiers belt buckle found in their courtyard sparked her novel March. She wishes hed been able to analyse the Trump era after many conversations in bars with his supporters.

During research for Horse, Brooks had most fun on a road trip to Kentucky with Bizu and Horwitz, who was looking into Olmsteds work there and shared his knowledge of the archives. She also credits her funny, hard-working husband with spotting the link between Lexington and the Thomas Scott painting thrown on the street by a woman after her husbands death.

Brooks says its a privilege to live so close to nature.Credit:Randi Baird

We were so lucky until we werent, she says. My way of coping is to embrace the gratitude. The thing I miss most is the end of the day when he was walking across the lawn from the barn where he wrote with the laptop, and I would know the fun was about to start. We had the best time together. We would have loud raucous evenings arguing about the affairs of the day and laughing.

Brooks remains enthusiastically Australian despite her dual citizenship and her American-born father (the intriguing subject of a memoir by her sister, Darleen Bungey). Clues to her attachment are scattered through Horse, with both Jess and Theo given Australian backgrounds, and a kelpie called Clancy modelled on her journalist friend Richard Glovers dog. She has an essay on author Tim Winton appearing soon. Once Bizu is at his US college, she wants to spend more time at her other hobbit house in inner-Sydney Balmain and beyond.

I just want to water my roots, she says.

And yet she loves the crooked wooden house she and Horwitz restored, on land bought by English settlers from the local Wampanoag people. She belongs deeply to her small, diverse, co- operative community, where people talk about catching the ferry to America. She has a garden to water there too.

As she prepares to leave on her publicity tour, to high praise from early American reviews of Horse, she says: Were just getting into the time of year when its fun to be outside as opposed to sheer agony. The flowers are busting out and everything is as green as Ireland suddenly. Weve got an old mill pond and a little stream through the property, so the frogs are coming out of hibernation and everything is coming back to life. Its a privilege to live so close to nature.

Horse is published by Hachette Australia on June 15.

Does Tom Cruise represent the last generation of flesh and blood movie stars? – Flicks

Posted: at 1:16 am

Luke Buckmaster feels the needthe need to reassess Hollywoods biggest action star. But what is the future of his stardom, and how does it intersect with ABBA, Mlis, and Grand Theft Auto? Read on.

In recent years an idea has been gaining traction that Tom Cruise could be the last movie star. The spectacular successand equally spectacular hyperboleaccompanying his new movie, Top Gun: Maverick, has emboldened some outlets to repeat that idea as if it were a fact, adding only slight qualifiers. A headline from the New York Times for instance reads: Hollywoods Last Real Movie Star. CBR chose another caveat: Hollywoods Last Great Star. A piece from Vulture settled on one of the last movie stars.

Part of the appeal of Cruises protagonist, Captain Pete Maverick Mitchell, aligns with the appeal of Cruise himself: that of a titan from another era, still standing in a rapidly evolving world that soon will have no place for him. In one scene from the new movie, a straight-talking buttoned-down admiral (played by Ed Harris, who has perfected the role) tells the hotshot pilot that one day planes will fly themselves and his profession will go the way of the dodo. The futures coming, says the admiral, and youre not in it. Maverick doesnt argue the point, nor ignore the opportunity for a rejoiner (maybe so sir, but not today).

Those proclaiming Cruise as an indomitable force of popular culture, commanding the zeitgeist like Zeus, tend to overlook his box office disappointments (such as Oblivion, American Made and 2017s The Mummy reboot) and understate the significance of his attachment to well-known brands (Mission: Impossible being the prominent example).

But bestowing upon him a last stature is more about a vibe, an aura, mixed with an acknowledgement that things in Hollywood arent what they used to be. Titanic franchises such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe have changed the game, accelerating a tendency for massive marketing campaigns based on characters being played (Spider-Man, Doctor Strange etcetera) rather than the actors playing them.

The conversation about Cruise potentially being the last star has never, as far as I know, acknowledged that its not just traditional notions of movie stardom that are currently in a state of flux but the very concept of human actors performing in front of a camera. Digital wizardry can now achieve the previously unthinkable, creating entirely fabricated lifelike videos of famous people or indeed anyone. The deepfake Tiktok channel @deeptomcruise features Cruise singing, speaking in an Australian accent, hanging out outside Harvard university, and playing rock paper scissors on Sunset Boulevardall entirely faked.

Its not perfect, but the technology is rapidly evolving and soon well no longer be able to distinguish the simulation from the genuine article. The dreaded uncanny valley will also be a thing of the past, as more and more human characters emerge that are entirely digitally created. These creations will not remain exclusively in the domain of shortform videos; they will become embedded in all kinds of content including longform productions, i.e. movies.

Hollywood has dabbled many times in the space of virtualized actorsresurrecting Carrie Fisher and Paul Walker, for instance, and de-ageing Will Smith and Robert DeNiroand will soon deliver us a new movie starring James Dean. But the partys just getting started, even if the writing has been on the wall for some time. In the 1990s, around the time he got 3D computer scans of his face, in the hope that it would be digitally brought back to life in the future, Marlon Brando said: Actors arent going to be real, theyre going to be inside a computer. You watch, its going to happen.

The idea of Tom Cruise being the last movie star is perfect not as a statement about current times but what is coming, the actor symbolizing the last generation of mega-famous flesh-and-blood actors before theyre finally and irrevocably fused with virtual agents.

Despite the inevitable outcry, and pleas to return to the good old days of real performers, this may actually be a good thing for moviesreinvigorating the art form and accelerating a trajectory observed by Lev Manovich in his influential book The Language of New Media. Manovich argued that digital artistry changed the essence of the movie medium, which can no longer be distinguished from animation and became, in effect, a sub-genre of painting.

Want to see a new Top Gun adventure, starring Tom Cruise in his heyday, with Bette Davis playing his love interest and Humphrey Bogart his mentor? The possibilities are endless. Those who balk at the idea of virtual performers ignore that the very essence of motion pictures is illusionary.

Ever since Louis Lumire premiered his film of a train arriving at a station, cinema has been entirely about fooling the senses, from the process of projecting still images in rapid succession (providing the impression of movement) to countless codes and conventions developed to maintain the ruse. The question of emotional truth is always more important than trivial matters about whether what we see in an artistic work was ever actually, physically there.

Its easier for video game (rather than film) enthusiasts to get their minds around the expressive potential of virtualized performance. During a cutscene in a great game, the player doesnt think this is so fake, where are the humans? They are engrossed by the characters, emotions, story, atmosphere. I recently returned to Grand Theft Auto V (one of my favourite video games) and the virtual performances struck me as a hundred times more resonant, more human, than any performance from an MCU movie.

Marvels conga line of flat, uniform characters reduces actual people to algorithmic functions: a reminder that impersonal and even inhumane art is not a matter of form or presentation but the motives of the content creators. The danger of an entertainment industry populated by virtual actors is a pivot away from the idiosyncrasies of human expression towards machine-tooled programming designed to appease and second-guess audiences (though that is much like how Hollywood today works). But it doesnt have to be like that. Evoking the metaphor of digital wizardry as a form of painting encourages a return to the imaginative potential espoused by early fantasists such as Georges Mlis.

On the subject of metaphors, show business has extracted much mileage over the years from the idea of famous people being starsaspirational beacons of light beaming down on us from above. The act of observing a real star in the sky creates a paradox, ushering the past into the present. Due to the speed of light, and the distance between the viewer and the star, it is seen not as it is but as it once was.

The star is also new to the moment, resplendent and surreal, a beautiful splotch of painting on the canvas of the cosmos. Observing Hollywoods stars of the future will be a comparable phenomenon: life ushered back into existence, in shimmering vitality, the ghosts of the movies freed from their celluloid coffins to roam again and inspire anew.

The transformation of actors into dazzling virtual beings will occur gradually, though some productions will be determined circuit breakers in hindsight. In the world of music virtualisation, one may be unfolding right now.

You might not have heard that last month ABBA returned to the stage for the first time in decades, kicking off a season of virtual concerts using lifelike digital avatars (or Abbatars). Its a wonder that reviewers managed to operate their keyboards, their jaws so clearly on the floor. Reports that the real ABBA attended the premiere got it around the wrong way. The real ABBA werent the old-timers hobbling to the stage after the performance, but the phantasmagoria that came before: the lights, sounds, spectacle, sheer experience that transported the audience into a magical alternate reality.

Likewise, the real Tom Cruise isnt the man on the red carpet, working the crowd, or the savvy operator meeting with studio executives in Tinsel Town. The real Cruise is the god-like entity on screen, with his otherworldly looks and million-watt smile; with his eternal vibe and aura.

If the stars in the sky are visions of the past rendered into the present with stunning freshness and vivacity, changing the contemporary outlook, perhaps we are yet to see a true movie star, given every famous actor, preserved in light and shadow, has never transcended the decisions they made as a flesh and blood mortal. There have been digital resurrections here and there, but nobody has truly achieved the paradox of being simultaneously old and new.

Perhaps Tom Cruise could get on the frontfoot and sign a five or 10 picture deal for his celluloid afterlife, helping to inform the narratives that will shape it before time and mortality takes that ability away from him. Production could commence on Top Gun 3 and Mission: Impossible 27 shortly after his death. Then we could call him the lastand the firstmovie star.

Cloud computing: Here’s the security threat you should be most worried about – ZDNet

Posted: at 1:15 am

Poor identity, access and credential management is the biggest cybersecurity challenge for cloud computing, after the shift to remote working has redefined the workplace and changed priorities around the use of cloud applications and services, warns new research.

According to a survey of 700 industry experts on security issues in the cloud industry carried out by the Cloud Security Alliance, a not-for-profit that promotes best practices for cloud computing, insufficient identity, credential, access and key management for privileged accounts is a top concern around cloud cybersecurity.

The shift towards remote and hybrid working has changed how businesses and employees operate, no longer accessing office applications and productivity suites installed on their PCs at the office, but rather accessing the tools they need through software-as-a-service and cloud-based productivity suites from any device, no matter where they are.

That shift means managing access to resources and files is vital, especially when administrator or other high-level privilege access is required. But organisations are struggling to achieve this, particularly as many end users are now situated outside the company firewalls and traditional protections.

The ability to access cloud tools with a username and password is proving highly beneficial for many workers and employers,but it's also providing cyber criminals with low-hanging fruit. If hackers can breach the username and password, they have the same access as the user and with a legitimate account, which means suspicious activity might not be detected as promptly.

ZDNET SPECIAL FEATURE:SECURING THE CLOUD

But it isn't just cyber attackers from outside the company who can take advantage of misconfigured identity, access and credential management, if it isn't managed properly. It's also possible for these issues to be exploited by insider threats employees who can exploit the lack of controls to escalate their access privileges and gain access to data they shouldn't be able to.

They could be doing this just because they can, taking it with them to a rival company, or putting it up for sale to cyber criminals to exploit.

While gaining access to login credentials for cloud accounts is an increasingly common technique used in cyberattacks, in some cases, the attacker doesn't need a username or a password at all, because data stored in the cloud is being left exposed and is accessible to anyone who knows where to look.

The report also warns against some other common cloud security flaws, including:

In order to improve identity and access management controls, the report recommends organisations implement a zero-trust model of cybersecurity, requiring validation at every stage of the user's journey through the cloud environment, preventing them from using one set of credentials to gain access to things they don't need to.

Users should also be required to avoid using weak passwords, so intruders can't use brute force attacks or guesswork to gain control of accounts. In addition, users should be equipped with multi-factor authentication to create an extra barrier against attacks.

Already on the edge, Akamai sets its sights on cloud computing and security – Protocol

Posted: at 1:15 am

If you asked CEO Tom Leighton to describe Akamai Technologies five years ago, his response would have been different from his answer today.

Today he describes the company as the worlds most distributed cloud services provider with services in compute, security and delivery. The company, which continues to evolve from its start as a content delivery network (CDN) provider, hit a key milestone in that journey last quarter.

Revenue from Akamais security and compute business combined to eclipse its delivery revenue for the first time. Security revenue increased 23% year-over-year to $382 million, and compute revenue hit $78 million, up 32%. Delivery revenue, meanwhile, fell 6% to $444 million.

Next year, security will be the largest of the three, Leighton said in an interview with Protocol.

It wont be the majority yet by itself, but itll be bigger than delivery and compute. Depends how fast compute grows, but thats an enormous market, and who knows, maybe compute will be the largest in five years. It'll be a tough fight with security for that crown, because those are both very fast-growing areas for Akamai.

Akamai bolstered its security and computing capabilities with two big acquisitions in the last eight months. It bought network security company Guardicore for $600 million in October, adding its micro-segmentation technology that blocks the spread of malware to Akamais zero-trust security portfolio for enterprises. In March, Akamai completed its $900 million acquisition of Linode, a cloud infrastructure-as-a-service provider that positions itself as an alternative to AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

Leighton, who has led Akamai since 2013 after co-founding the company in 1998 and serving as its chief scientist, talked to Protocol about Akamais cloud-to-edge strategy.

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

Why did you decide to diversify Akamai?

Its what customers want, and its something we always wanted to do. We started with delivery. Early on, we provided security solutions for the government, but the industry wasnt ready yet for it, didnt fully appreciate it. It wasnt really until 2012 that companies started to appreciate they needed Akamai to protect them, that they just couldnt do it themselves anymore.

Also, early on 2000, 2001 time frame we started edge computing and, again, we were ahead of the industry. Thats before AWS existed, and the industry wasnt ready for edge compute then. We even had edge Java. We had edge WebSphere, Edge Side Includes. We pioneered the standard with Oracle back in 2001.

We did elementary things that our customers could use, but in terms of full-blown applications at the edge, it was too early. It just got popular lately. Actually, for 20 years the industry our competitors said edge was stupid. And all of a sudden they woke up and said, Oh, edge is really the future, and then they claim to have an edge, which they dont. Now, fast forward, we have thousands of customers using our edge computing capabilities today.

And now with the acquisition of Linode, well have core cloud computing capabilities. Thats the last big piece, in a sense, because now our customers can build their apps on Akamai, they can run them on Akamai, they can secure them with us and they can deliver, of course, through Akamai.

Akamai CEO Tom Leighton Photo: Akamai

What are Akamais security strengths and how does Guardicore fit into your strategy?

We've been in security a long time. I dont know that most of the world realized it, but we have been providing security services to protect U.S. government websites since probably 2001. We really started protecting major banks in 2012, 2013. And today we have the market-leading web app firewall solution [Web App and API Protector (WAAP), formerly known as Kona Site Defender] by far. Pretty much all the major banks and commerce companies use our security services. We have the best denial-of-service-prevention capabilities, the best protection for end-user accounts so they dont get stolen. Thats really important for banking accounts or commerce accounts, but, increasingly, media accounts your gaming accounts or your OTT [over the top] accounts are big targets.

What Guardicore does is that [it] protects enterprises from ransomware, and ransomware is the top problem today for enterprises. Its crushing, and Guardicore identifies applications when they've been hit with ransomware, and then stops it from spreading. And thats the key for stopping the damage from ransomware.

Typically segmentation has had sort of a bad name in the industry, because it was done in hardware, which made it really hard to do and not very effective. You physically separated your networks, and thats just really painful in an enterprise, so most enterprises didnt do it. But Guardicore invented a way to do it in software, where they place an agent or think of it as a mini firewall in every application. That agent tells when an application is doing something it shouldn't be doing or is being exploited in some way. It can also tell if it's got vulnerabilities like Log4j, and then it notifies the IT shop or the security shop that you got a problem here. Even better, it stops the problem from spreading. It doesn't let the malware jump from an HVAC unit into a critical operational system. And that way you limit the blast radius from ransomware. You limit the exposure to data exfiltration.

We view it as the cornerstone of a zero-trust strategy for an enterprise. The problem today is you could buy everybody's security services, and malware's still probably getting in somewhere. The key is really to know when it got in, where it got in and to stop it from spreading.

Why should enterprises use Linode over AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud or in addition to them under a multi-cloud strategy?

In short, it's the same reason that so many enterprises use us for delivery instead of AWS and Google and the other hyperscalers, and the same reason why they use us for security instead of those giant companies. In fact, those giant companies use us for delivery and security today. We have edge compute, and we're the best at that. Edge compute lives in 4,000 locations on Akamai, close to 1,000 cities around the world. Major companies, including those hyperscalers, use us for that.

For the core cloud compute, it is really easy to use Linode, very popular with developers and it's less expensive. Now what we need to do and will do over the course of the next year or so is make sure that Linode has the capabilities and the features that major enterprises need. Today they have some large customers, but mostly small and medium businesses and developers, and so there are some things that we need to do there that will make it enterprise-grade. When you put it in connection with our edge platform that has edge computing and, of course, our market-leading delivery and security you get a really exciting combination.

There's a lot of room for growth in cloud computing for the workloads. We know all the major enterprises or a lot of the major enterprises. They know us, and they're using us for delivery and security. Many of them have been asking us to develop a compute capability. And many of those companies compete with the hyperscalers, and they would like to have Akamai provide that capability, because we don't compete with them. We're not a threat to them. We're not a threat to be looking at their data. Of course, the fact that it's really easy to use and less expensive, I think that's helpful, too. It's about a third off [competitors] published pricing.

I expect that down the road the hyperscalers will also be using our compute solution as part of the overall Akamai platform. Some of the hyperscalers [parent companies Amazon and Microsoft] are our largest customers, and some are really good partners as well. It just broadens the capabilities that they can do on Akamai. I expect they will have applications that they're going to want to have running on containers or VMs in hundreds of places close to end users, and Akamai will have that capability. We're pretty unique in that.

What products or services do you need to add to entice enterprises? Will you offer managed services in the future?

There's certain base capabilities that we're in the process of adding VPC, reliability zones, getting it to be PCI-compliant, FedRAMP-compliant, that sort of thing just sort of basics. Linode has a good ecosystem of apps on top of it [that are] not managed today. And so for those customers that want to have managed third-party apps on top of Linode and not do it themselves, yes, we would be offering that capability over time or in conjunction with partners that would do the management of the services for them.

What edge computing products and services do you have today and what industries are using them?

There's a variety of things we do. We have a JavaScript engine that's running on all our edge servers, and customers can use that to create functions as a service. We also create packaged functions, we call them Cloudlets. In some cases, our customers created those, and then we offer them to other customers. So things you'd like to do with a website or application, A/B testing, failover capabilities, personalized content. And there's a special class of capabilities we call Edge Side Includes, which we launched in 2001, that allows our customers to program their page so it's dynamically assembled on the edge. We have thousands of customers using that today have for close to 20 years.

Delivery is still your largest business, but the growth is slowing. What's driving that, and do you expect it to recede to pre-COVID levels?

The traffic is growing, [just] not at as fast a rate. We're in a year now where it's a non-COVID year lapping on top of a COVID year, and so people are outside more, they're actually going back and doing shopping in stores more, so there's less traffic growth. I think this year will not be a strong year in terms of the delivery business revenue. Next year you get back into a more normal situation where you have a non-COVID year over a non-COVID year, and so you have more of normal dynamics then.

The main verticals for delivery are sort of two components. There's the big traffic verticals, which would be OTT and media: software, gaming downloads. Then there's the transaction verticals, which don't have a lot of traffic, but have high value for the traffic that they have, and that would be led by commerce, retail, hospitality and so forth. They're all growing traffic, but not nearly at the rates that they were.

IT leaders agree the need for ‘cloud-of-clouds’ – www.computing.co.uk

Posted: at 1:15 am

That was the message from a roundtable Computing ran this week with Sumo Logic, dicussing whether the promise of multicloud matches up with its reality.

Using a single cloud vendor is attractive; keeping all of your systems in one place lowers complexity and raises visibility. But increasingly, our research shows that IT leaders are just as if not more interested in best-of-breed software and competitive pricing - even if it means signing on with a different cloud vendor to do it.

Earlier this year, we found that about a quarter of UK IT leaders have an official multicloud strategy, and nearly a third expect to be using more cloud providers within the next two years.

About half of our roundtable attendees, from both public and private sectors, were already using multiple cloud vendors, often for resilience, while others were interested. Notably, not all not everyone was using the Big Three (AWS, Azure and Google): smaller vendors with niche propositions were also mentioned. That said, the combination of Azure and AWS was still the most popular choice.

All roundtable attendees, both those who were using multicloud setups and those who were interested, agreed that a management layer for visibility and control - a 'cloud-of-clouds' - would boost the uptake of multicloud.

A layer like this, also known as unified cloud management, could help to cut complexity, boost innovation and save costs; and while tools do exist, they aren't yet widespread. Recent Computing research shows that fewer than 20% of UK organisations are using a similar solution - despite nearly 40% of UK IT leaders agreeing that cloud complexity is slowing innovation, and almost half saying that tools from different vendors are too siloed at their company.

Cloud vendors will have to become more open as multicloud evolves and spreads, one delegate said in closing: "It will become a new standard."

Securing the cloud the peerless role of biometrics – Biometric Update

Posted: at 1:15 am

By Deepak Gupta, CTO & Co-Founder of LoginRadius

While businesses embark on a digital transformation journey, cloud adoption is undoubtedly the cornerstone for new-age enterprises.

Statistics reveal that the global cloud applications market is expected to reach 168.6 billion U.S. dollars by 2025, which was 133.6 Billion U.S. dollars back in 2021. Moreover, the cloud application market is also anticipated to grow at an annual growth rate of 4.8 percent.

However, the surging demand for the cloud doesnt necessarily guarantee security for sensitive business and consumer information; certain risks associated with cloud computing are still the bottleneck of many enterprises.

Whats more worrisome is that many enterprises using cloud computing are still relying on user ids and password authentication. This can be quite risky, especially when breaching frail authentication mechanisms isnt a tough nut to crack.

Heres where the critical role of biometric authentication comes into play!

Lets dig deeper into this and understand the aspects of biometric authentication that help businesses stay ahead of the competition without compromising security.

Stats reveal that authentication methods like PINs and passwords are still widely used across various cloud applications with 63.02 percent of businesses still relying on standard login. And the reason behind their existence in the 21st century is the fact that most brands find it simple, portable, familiar, and inexpensive to deploy.

This is where organizations fall prey to several cybersecurity threats and compromise crucial business information that can cause losses worth millions of dollars.

Cyber attackers are always on a hunt for weak passwords that can be guessed or compromised using various tricks, including phishing, social engineering, or brute force attack.

Besides this, organizations relying on password authentication mechanisms are also at risk of compromising sensitive consumer information. If they lose consumer data, they could be entitled to hefty fines since consumer data privacy, and security laws like GDPR and CCPA are getting more stringent.

So cant we implement stronger password policies? Yes, we do, but todays digital-first workplace and new-age consumers demand a frictionless authentication experience right from the moment they interact with a brand.

Using robust authentication mechanisms, including biometric authentication, can help brands ensure the highest level of security since these authentication methods are pretty much harder to bypass.

With biometrics, users can leverage secure and quick authentication and authorization without compromising user experience.

Moreover, biometric authentication is firmly established and supported by various robust cloud data privacy and security standards that ensure user information is gathered, stored, and managed securely and no unauthorized person has access to it.

Biometric authentication can be implemented at various checkpoints when discussing organization-level security and user workflow, especially when systems are deployed over the cloud.

Whether PCs or smartphones, biometric authenticators in the form of fingerprint scanners and facial recognition systems can be of great help, especially in scenarios where there are multiple authentication requirements.

Apart from this, organizations can consider relying on biometric hardware-based tokens that offer access to sensitive resources on a network without conventional authentication processes demanding usernames and passwords.

When securing crucial business information and sensitive consumer data, multi-factor authentication plays a vital role.

MFA ensures that the user goes through multiple layers of authentication before accessing any resource or system.

Conventionally MFA may ask users to provide a one-time password sent to them through text on their phone or email. Once the user enters the password, the session is authenticated.

However, this procedure may hamper the user experience. Thus, biometric MFA could be a game-changer since it quickly analyzes one of the unique biometric identifiers and rapidly provides access.

Also, biometric authentication in MFA is considered more secure when compared to other conventional methods since every person has a unique biometric identifier.

With technology evolving leaps and bounds and businesses swiftly adopting cloud capabilities, security is often overlooked, especially concerning authentication.

Biometric authentication offers the next level of authentication security for cloud applications and devices that connects users and provides access to resources.

Businesses planning to leverage the cloud for digital transformation shouldnt ignore the importance of biometric authentication as a part of their information security policy.

Everyone Is Talking About This Stock. Is It a Good Long-Term Option? – The Motley Fool

Posted: at 1:15 am

If you'd forgotten about International Business Machines (IBM -1.28%), you're not alone, and you're forgiven. It used to be royalty within the technology arena, but the company's dominance and stature has been steadily chipped away by newer, better tech solutions. IBM's sales peaked in 2011, beginning a 10-year contraction that by some measures is still underway. The COVID-19 pandemic and last year's spinoff of its managed infrastructure services business Kyndryl continue to obscure its actual results.

The small, quiet crowd talking about IBM, however, is getting bigger as well as louder. They're seeing signs of life from the organization that many had all but given up on. Moreover, the crowd has good reason for its renewed interest.

There's no denying most of IBM's wounds were self-inflicted.

While it hit a wall more than a decade ago when mobile phones evolved into mini-computers with good wireless internet connections, the company was slow to adapt. IBM didn't launch its "strategic imperatives" in earnest until 2014, finally getting serious about cloud computing and data analytics. And even then, the effort never seemed to get much traction. The company acquired Red Hat in 2019, effectively buying its way into the hybrid cloud computing market, yet kicking off a major integration project. Albeit arguably for the best, then-CEO Ginni Rometty stepped down in 2020, prompting even more unknowns headed into the pandemic.

If you can look past all the noise between then and now, though, there's growth-based hope.

Take last quarter's results as an example. Sales were up 8% year over year (11% on a constant-currency basis), largely thanks to firm demand for the hybrid cloud solutions IBM is now able to offer thanks to its Red Hat deal. Artificial intelligence was another key growth driver for the company last quarter. Notably, the company's growth is also no longer crimped by a managed infrastructure business that is viable and profitable, but not exactly expandable.

There's a nuance buried in all the numbers, however, that matters in a big way. That is, sales of cloud computing infrastructure in turn create service and software revenue. Said another way, the company is selling entire ecosystems that serve as cash cows.

Recent comments made by CFO Jim Kavanaugh put this idea in its full perspective. Speaking at Bank of America's recent 2022 Global Technology Conference, Kavanaugh explains that "when we land a hybrid cloud platform [customer], there's an economic multiplier on top of that, $3 to $5 a software for every dollar of platform we land, $6 to $8 of services for every dollar of platform we land. And we're seeing that play out in our consulting business today."

This revenue multiplier is becoming increasingly evident in IBM's accelerating growth, as you'll see in a moment.

There's still work to be done. While CEO Arvind Krishna has a pretty good handle on the company's hybrid cloud opportunity after two years at the helm, it's still a highly competitive market, and IBM is still figuring out what to do with its remaining legacy businesses. The company is also narrowly focused on hybrid cloud computing, so its solutions on this front have to be reliable and top-notch. Otherwise, any lost business on this front results in a dramatic revenue and earnings contraction.

Doing one thing very, very well, however -- and offering complete hybrid cloud turn-key solutions -- looks like the right shift. Analysts certainly think so, anyway. Now with the effect of COVID-19 fading and without the distraction of Kyndryl, revenue is on a relatively healthy growth trajectory again. At stake is a piece of the growing hybrid cloud market Krishna believes will eventually be worth $1 trillion.

Data source: Thomson Reuters. Chart by author. Revenue and cash flow data is in millions of dollars.

The kicker: While brewing economic turbulence poses a threat to most companies at this time, IBM is apt to hold up against such a headwind. At the BofA conference, Kavanaugh added that "software and consulting now [make up] 70% of our overall portfolio," and then went on to say: "50% of IBM's revenue is recurring revenue." It's an important detail simply because this model lends itself to strong operating margin rates, which in turn "translates into high single-digit free cash flow."

Given that the long-anticipated turnaround is starting to take hold, it's no surprise investors are talking about IBM. And yes, it is quickly becoming a compelling long-term option ... at least for investors with well-diversified portfolios and a five-year to 10-year mindset.

KT vows to spend W27tr on network, AI, cloud over 5 years – The Investor

Posted: at 1:15 am

A logo of KT (KT)

South Korean telecommunications giant KT said Thursday it plans to spend a combined 27 trillion won ($21.5 billion) in the field of network infrastructure, artificial intelligence and cloud computing over the next five years until 2026.

KT, Koreas largest telecommunications firm by revenue as of 2021, also pledged to hire 28,000 employees during the same period.

The 12 trillion won package will be used for AI, cloud computing and media content. KT will hone AI-powered products such as automated customer service centers and robotic services, as well as hyperscale AI computing, data centers and other cloud computing infrastructure.

Another 3 trillion won will be KTs cash ammunition for startup investment and possible strategic alliances with startup investees. KT has so far made early stage investments in startups such as Pinkfong, the entertainment firm behind the global phenomenon Baby Shark, travel booking app operator Yanolja and cloud managed service provider Megazone Cloud.

This is the first time that KT has unveiled prospective investment figures related to the non-network business realm.

In the meantime, KT will maintain its spending on network infrastructure and research on par with the past, which amounts to 12 trillion won over five years. High-speed wireless internet connections will be stabilized as KT seeks to strengthen infrastructure by setting up more cables or adding more routers, while more disaster recovery centers will be located outside Greater Seoul. More research will be carried out in tandem with the arrival of next-generation internet standards such as 6G.

The announcement came in the 20th year of KTs privatization. State-owned Korea Telecom was fully handed over to private-sector entities in August 2002.
