Gitex Global 22: Cloud computing and Metaverse is where UAEs tech spending will be – Gulf News

Posted: at 12:19 am

Dubai: Businesses in the UAE and the Gulf are still spending heavily on their technology needs this year, but you would need to look elsewhere to confirm it. In other words, check out what these businesses had going in the cloud.

Thats right, cloud is where the tech spending was most visible, with storing and managing organisational data becoming the most pressing need for organisations. And keeping them safe too.

This is also the reason why it seemed that IT spending by corporates was not happening at the same levels as in 2020-21, when the need for remote working forced businesses of all sizes to go in for immediate upgrades to support the transition.

Spending by corporates is on the rise, moving more to cloud-based opex (operating expenditure) rather than traditional capex (capital expenditure) models, said Victoria Mendes, Research Manager for Data & Analytics (META) at the consultancy IDC.

- Victoria Mendes, IDC

So, it means less of the heavy spending on servers and costly upgrades to their IT systems - unless they are absolutely necessary. The other category that keeps getting the sign-offs from businesses is cyber security.

And tech industry sources say 2023 has all the makings for another solid year in spending. In the UAE, government organisations are far out in front in making these investments and upgrades necessary for the smart everything, said the general manager of an IT services company in Dubai. The same can be said only for the biggest private companies here - theres so much that needs to be done by others.

Unless theres a major worldwide recession and its effects are felt by Gulf economies too, the spending on IT will not stop.

This is the backdrop then for the opening of the latest Gitex, now branded as Gitex Global, which will dwell deep on the fortunes of startups, fintechs, the Metaverse and, of course, the cloud among the key verticals. The 2022 edition starts Monday (October 10) and runs until Friday at Dubai World Trade Centre.

Cloud action

Global heavyweights such as Huawei, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft and Oracle have carved up enough space in the UAEs transition towards the cloud. They have gone operational with cutting-edge data centres, while the G42- and e&- (formerly Etisalat) owned Khazna is the local powerhouse in this space.

Check out these numbers on the cloud spend in the UAE, and it gives even more evidence of why IDCs Victoria thinks this is where the IT spending spree will continue to be.

According to IDC research, about 70 per cent of UAE enterprises are moving from the discovery and piloting phase to significant implementation of business apps in the cloud. Public cloud spending in the UAE is expected to grow 31.6 per cent this year to $1.3 billion, while spending on private clouds continues to rise and hybrid multi-clouds are increasingly the norm for organisations. (Public cloud is where computing resources are owned and operated by the provider and web-shared with multiple tenants.)

Digital transformations - and a chance for VCs

On a parallel track, digital switchover projects will keep tech companies busy. There will be a lot of focus on online payment services across categories, opening up more chances for fintechs to secure key contracts, funding, said an industry source.

That would be cue for more action from tech startups in the region. Walid Hanna is the founder and CEO of Middle East Venture Partners (MEVP), the VC firm based in Dubai. Hanna reckons these will be the key trends in the tech startup area:

* Market penetration (of e-commerce, online payment, etc.) is still quite low compared to the Western markets (at 4x lower).

* The online banking infrastructure is under-developed, especially in the Levant and North Africa, which also gives room for further digitization down the line.

* Presence of a high under-banked population with low options for credits.

* There is still room for clearer regulation, especially in the fintech space. The UAE, Saudi Arabia and Egypt are the pioneers in the region.

* Exit options are increasing either from a M&A perspective or listing on stock markets, which was unimaginable three years ago.

- Walid Hanna, MEVP

We closed a partial exit from Fresha, an online marketplace and SaaS (Service as a Software) management platform for spas and salons, yielding a 52x cash on cash return. The company started in the UAE, serving primarily the US markets. It subsequently expanded globally and moved its HQ to the UK.

And then theres Metaverse

Dubais digital transformation blueprint has set heavy emphasis on the Metaverse. The first set of Dubai entities, such as Dubai Airport Free Zone, have already come out with what their presence will be in parallel universe built around AR.

And Dubai entities presence on the Metaverse will be based on real-world problem solving and more.

This is how Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO of DP World, said it just the other day: We are exploring the usage of the Metaverse across our services, including simulations of warehousing and terminal operations, container and vessel repair inspections, safety training, and other commercial uses. Our customers will now be able to see and understand the whole supply chain from end-to-end with full visibility and take corrective actions in case of logistics bottlenecks.

- Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, DP World

The cloud and the Metaverse - in IT, thats where the spending will be...

Cloud Automation is Speeding Up Innovation in Pharma and Life Sciences – PR Web

Posted: at 12:19 am

Researchers and scientists need on-demand access to application services, but compliance concerns mean they are not able to simply go to the public cloud like those in other industries

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. (PRWEB) October 10, 2022

In recent years, the life sciences and pharma industries have experienced an increase in regulatory oversight while also facing pressure to respond to global healthcare crises. This tension between regulation and innovation will only increase as security and data privacy concerns limit the ability of many industries to take advantage of public cloud services.

Looking forward, as technology expands, these industries will continue to see a steady escalation in regulations. By optimizing data sharing and advancing collaboration and innovation, cloud computing can facilitate world-changing discoveries. Herein lies a unique difficulty for those operating within life sciences and pharma industries organizations must innovate at the fastest pace possible to compete while still adhering to critical regulatory requirements. As the reliance on technology increases, the pace of R&D in pharma and life sciences is becoming bottlenecked by internal IT processes that are historically unable to compete with the speed of service delivery provided by public clouds.

In highly regulated sectors, there has been a lot of frustration on the part of teams that feel handcuffed by legacy approaches to IT, Brad Parks, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Morpheus Data. Researchers and scientists need on-demand access to application services, but compliance concerns mean they are not able to simply go to the public cloud like those in other industries.

This is where Morpheus Data provides innovative hybrid cloud management technology that makes it possible for researchers and teams to move faster while still meeting strict regulatory guidelines and process controls. Through a unified orchestration and automation platform, teams get instant on-demand access to the applications they need to advance their research agenda without having to wait on manual IT processes. Individual users can request organizationally approved application services from a simple self-service portal or API, which means they can constantly analyze data sets, iterate, and test again without delay. At the same time, IT and security teams are able to set strict policies around where applications are deployed and how data is accessed. By retaining critical control of organization-wide governance, IT can protect the organization from risk.

With the Morpheus hybrid cloud management platform, organizations can get the speed and efficiency of the public cloud within the safety and security of their on-premises datacenter. The platform integrates with the datacenter tools and hypervisors that organizations already have, reducing the number of manual tasks that must be performed each time an application service is provisioned. This helps those operating in highly regulated environments access the data sets and applications they need to perform testing in minutes rather than waiting days, weeks, or months for IT to provide assistance.

One Morpheus Data client, AstraZeneca, cites that a service delivery process that previously took 80 hours per server end-to-end can now be accomplished in 27 minutes, start to finish. AstraZeneca also found they saved over six-million dollars in IT overhead by automating their hybrid-cloud estate with Morpheus.

In the future, pharma and life sciences organizations that are highly automated will be poised to be able to innovate the fastest. These teams will be able to process patents, receive approvals, and move through the FDA at speed. Automating and orchestrating private cloud environments will allow these teams to operate efficiently while still adhering to strict security and regulation requirements.

Does DigitalOcean Stand a Chance Against the Biggest Cloud Providers? – The Motley Fool

Posted: at 12:19 am

Cloud computing marks the next stage in business analytics, computing resources, and information storage. It will be one of the most significant business innovations over the next decade, which is why many market research companies think the cloud computing market could grow by more than 17% annually to $1.6 trillion by 2030.

With prospects like that, investors may be considering how they can get in on this market shift. However, the top three cloud infrastructure companies, Amazon (Amazon Web Services (AWS)), Microsoft (Azure), and Alphabet (Google Cloud), control about 65% of the total market right now. If you know anything about these companies, it's that cloud computing isn't the largest segment of their operations. As a result, investors may be looking for a dedicated cloud computing company to best take advantage of this trend.

If you fit the description, DigitalOcean Holdings (DOCN -3.79%) may be your stock. It's solely focused on the cloud, which also means it competes with the big players.

Can DigitalOcean survive in this cutthroat environment?

What can users can do with cloud computing? The premise is straightforward: A cloud computing provider (be it AWS or DigitalOcean) has data centers around the world with computational power. Customers can sign up to use these computing resources to support an app, store data, or host a website.

Companies of all sizes can find this useful, but the problem is the big three don't want to be spending their time on mom-and-pop start-up businesses. They're after big customers that bring sizable contracts. That's not to say AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud can't be used for this purpose; they're just not optimized for it and are likely more expensive. Providing cloud infrastructure to these smaller businesses is where DigitalOcean's niche is.

DigitalOcean's targets are small businesses and developers, and it emphasizes its simplicity, customer support, and open-source platform, making this solution ideal for its customer base. To back up its affordability claim, here's how it compares to the big three:

Data source: DigitalOcean.

That's some extreme value compared to the other three, which is why DigitalOcean has 105,000 customers paying at least $50 per month.

However, DigitalOcean points out that there will be 43 million developers by 2025, and more than 100 million small businesses exist globally, with 14 million more being added each year. Not every small business needs to use cloud computing. But many could benefit by using DigitalOcean's product, and relatively few have utilized its services so far.

DigitalOcean has identified a large niche and is doing a great job of catering to its core customer base. But how are its financials?

Despite general economic uncertainty, cloud computing is an area where businesses continue to spend. This trend was reflected in Amazon's and Alphabet's most recent quarterly results, with AWS sales growing 33% year over year to $19.7 billion and Google Cloud rising 36% year over year to $6.3 billion. (Microsoft doesn't individually break out Azure sales, so it was excluded from this comparison). DigitalOcean's entire business is cloud computing, so investors don't need to look at individual segments. Its revenue was up 29% year over year to $134 million, with annual run rate revenue up 28% from the prior-year period to $544 million.

DigitalOcean may never reach its competitors' run rates, but remember, the larger companies cater to massive enterprise customers, while DigitalOcean focuses on small businesses.

For the full year, DigitalOcean's revenue is expected to grow 32% to $566 million, with free cash flow coming in at $54 million -- a 9.5% margin. Next year, analysts expect DigitalOcean to maintain its growth, and they project 31.7% sales growth on average.

With all that in mind, I think DigitalOcean can survive in its niche. As long as the company stays true to its mission, investors shouldn't have anything to worry about. Moreover, with the company trading for a mere 8.7 times sales, I think it's also a solid buy.

Cloud computing has massive benefits and doesn't need to be solely reserved for the largest businesses. DigitalOcean is there to ensure customers of all sizes are taken care of. As one of few pure-play cloud computing investments, it could generate massive shareholder returns as this space matures over the next decade.

What is cloud storage? A comprehensive evaluation of data-as-a-service – TechRadar

Posted: at 12:19 am

Cloud storage (opens in new tab) remains one of the more confusing tech terms around; nearly a quarter million queries on what is cloud storage were carried out globally over the past 12 months according to Google, a 21% rise over the same period the year before.

At its simplest, Cloud storage is disk space, usually in a data center, which you can access to save or retrieve files. That space is usually owned and operated by what is commonly called a hyperscaler (e.g. Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Tencent or Alibaba).

That is an important point: that space is owned by them, not you, you are only renting it (as you would do in a condominium or a flat); in other words, you are leasing a hard drive or SSD or tape (or a portion of it) in the cloud. For the purpose of this article, we will narrow our focus on user-friendly cloud storage where one can store digital data.

If you are of a certain age, you may remember buying audio CDs off the shelves of supermarkets; you would own the CD and youd be able to do whatever you want with it. Then came Spotify and everything changed, including the fact that youd be paying a monthly fee and essentially get access to the biggest music library that ever existed. No need to buy CDs or carry your collection around.

Cloud storage is essentially the same except that you usually pay based on usage (Backblaze being one notable exception). You can get as much data as you want, anytime and not have to worry about things that come with owning a storage device: theft, aftersales, power consumption, incidents/accidents and subsequent data recovery, being able to access data anywhere etc.

You can look at your own phone or computer as a comparison. At its simplest, a computer does three basic things to data: transmit it, store it or compute it; cloud storage is therefore a subset of cloud computing, only remotely. Cloud computing is used generically to describe any sort of on-demand computer-related service that can be done by a service provider, usually as a subscription. Check out our more comprehensive write up on Cloud Computing.

Amazon was the first one to launch cloud computing at scale with a cloud storage service, almost 17 years ago. S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object-based storage service, which differs from a normal business or consumer cloud storage; it spawned a dozen or so other storage-based services on AWS. AWS (opens in new tab) has grown into a massive sprawling ecosystem with 25 categories as of October 2022 and more than 200 services.

Amazons definition of Cloud Storage talks to a business audience but applies to consumers as well. It is a cloud computing model that stores data on the Internet through a cloud computing provider who manages and operates data storage as a service. Its delivered on demand with just-in-time capacity and costs, and eliminates buying and managing your own data storage infrastructure. This gives you agility, global scale and durability, with anytime, anywhere data access.

As mentioned earlier your data is most likely to be located in a data center, either owned by a hyperscaler or by a data center operator. This is where data is stored in the cloud. A service provider like iDrive will rent space and amenities (lights, electricity, cooling) and deploy its own cloud storage services, in a way similar to dedicated server hosting, colocation providers or bare metal hosting.

The best cloud storage providers will save multiple copies of your data across multiple data centers to mitigate the risk of your data being lost should there be a catastrophic event (e.g. Tsunami, Typhoon, earthquake, war or even fires). That does happen even to the biggest players and could have a long lasting negative impact on businesses.

Others go even further by storing your data on thousands of devices, creating a large number of mirrors that make losing your entire data virtually impossible. Cubbit and Storj are two of the most well-known proponents of this radically different approach to decentralized cloud storage, one which embraces peer-to-peer technology, the same philosophy behind torrenting and bittorrent.

Not only do hyperscalers have their own cloud storage services (Google Drive, Amazon Drive, Apple iCloud, OneDrive, Terabox), they also host over cloud storage services on behalf of other firms. For example, Dropbox is one of Amazon Web Servicess biggest customers. Setting up your own cloud storage provider is so easy weve got a tutorial for that.

As such, there are dozens of services that offer some form of cloud storage: you might see them described as online backup, cloud backup, online drives, file hosting and more, but essentially theyre still cloud storage with custom apps or web consoles to add some extra features. As of October 2022, weve reviewed around 50 of them which is probably a quarter of the total number of providers in the market.

You wont have to look far to find your nearest cloud storage service, though, because theres a very good chance you have access to one already. Facebook and Twitter provide free cloud storage when they allow users to store photos and videos on their servers, for instance, while even the most basic free Google account gets you 15GB of cloud storage space via the Google Drive app.

Saving your data to the cloud protects you from all kinds of data disasters. Whether it's a dead hard drive, a lost laptop or a ransomware attack, having your files out of harm's way means you'll avoid a whole lot of pain.

Sharing files via the cloud is safer and easier than many alternatives. Send something by email or copy it to a USB key, and your data doesn't have much protection beyond wishful thinking ('no-one else has access to that email account, right?') Cloud storage providers usually enable file encryption from the moment they leave your device, then give you a range of secure ways to share them with others.

Many services allow you to access files directly from your storage, without downloading them first. You might be able to stream a huge video from the cloud, for instance. You can often collaborate on files with others, perhaps with two people editing a document at the time.

Storing files in the cloud gives them real protection from damage, too. Accidentally deleted something? You'll usually find it in the Recycle Bin. Made a big mistake in the last few edits? You can often restore any previous version of the document from the last 30 days, and sometimes more - a real life-saver.

Its important to know a cloud storage service can be trusted with your files, so most providers go to a lot of trouble to make sure theyre safe. Theyll upload and download files via a secure encrypted connection, for instance. Maximum security data centers ensure no unauthorized person gets access to their servers, and even if someone did break in, leading-edge encryption (opens in new tab) prevents an attacker viewing your data.

While cost is an obvious factor to consider when choosing a cloud storage provider, it is secondary to trust. After all, whats the point of saving a few dollars a month if you cant be 100% sure that your data is safe, untampered and 100% private? The best secure cloud storage provider is likely to be one of the bigger players in the cloud storage market.

Fran Villalba Segarra, CEO of cloud storage company Internxt, wrote extensively on how cloud storage works and on whether cloud storage is safe, secure and private and we found out that the term cloud storage actually dates back from 1896 and was used to describe just that; how to store clouds. Andrew Martin, UK MD for Egnyte, a business cloud storage provider, investigated the pros and cons of on-premise vs cloud storage setups. Oh and before we forget, make sure you check our comparison, Cloud storage vs Cloud backup vs Cloud sync, written by Jay El-Anis from UK cloud storage provider, Zoolz.

Cloud computing 3.0: Every second counts – ETCIO

Posted: at 12:19 am

Businesses today are moving a portion or all of their applications and data to cloud computing environments. The third wave of cloud computing entails dealing with multiple cloud computing environments and a cloud maturity model that is ever-evolving.

Public cloud services rose by 18.4% in 2021 as against 6.1% in 2020. indicating that cloud use is rising dramatically year after year. In fact, the fastest-growing segment of the industry is Desktop as a Service (DaaS), which expanded by 95.4% in 2020 and 61.5% in 2021.

Choosing the best cloud deployment strategy among public clouds, private clouds, hybrid clouds, and multi-clouds for the organization is the first stage in the planning process for cloud adoption. As business and technological requirements change, an organization might transition between several deployment strategies.

That said, when it comes to cloud models, different companies have different opinions on which type of cloud model they prefer. The public cloud model is the most sought-after cloud model in India. It is available for the general public and the data is generated and stored by 3rd-party service providers which means companies need not maintain their hardware, this is what Vineet Aggarwal, CIO, Paras Healthcare has to say.

He further explains that this model is quite effective during a smooth transition across clouds over time. The key benefits include greater privacy and security, simplified data and application portability, increased scalability, and lower costs.

With a private cloud, organizations must build and maintain all kinds of servers to meet spikes in demand across various divisions or functions. It is a better option if data and infrastructure require the best possible security at multiple levels like healthcare companies Rahul Mahajan, CTO, Nagarro said.

However, Mahajan also agrees to the public cloud model being the most preferred one. The shift, by and large, has been towards the public cloud, including SaaS and PaaS. Most of the leaders in the retail, automobile, BFSI, and manufacturing industries are heavy users of the public cloud, he adds.

A hybrid cloud configuration may incorporate many cloud providers, making it hybrid as well as multi-cloud. Using one or even more public clouds in parallel to existing on-premise servers can help businesses make the most of the cloud by facilitating and simplifying application management.

Manoj Dhanda, Founder, and CTO, of Microhost Cloud, concurs, The hybrid cloud model gives businesses the ability to dynamically scale their IT infrastructure up or down as needed, making it more agile and responsive to changing business needs, he Mentions.

Many businesses use multiple public cloud service providers. When separate user departments buy their own cloud services without IT awareness or if a merger or acquisition brings a new provider into the business cloud fold, organizations "accidentally" adopt a multi-cloud Deployment.

In India, multi-cloud adoption is still in its infancy. Digital natives, IT/ITeS, and select enterprises are partnering with multiple cloud providers to accelerate their digital investments. Per, Gartners 2020 Cloud End-User Buying Behavior Survey (with 117 respondents from India), Seventy-eight percent of Indian respondents use multiple cloud providers; 67% use a primary provider and additional secondary providers, while 11% use multiple providers with no clear primary provider. Twenty-two percent of respondents engage with a single cloud provider (n = 94). Increased security risks, the complexity of operating multiple technologies, and complexity of managing multiple bills are the top three challenges related to working with multiple public clouds., Naveen Mishra, Sr Director Analyst, Gartner explained.

A multi-cloud strategy is still the standard practice among businesses. Eighty-nine percent of respondents said they have a multi-cloud strategy, and 80 percent employ a hybrid approach that combines public and private clouds.

Source: Flexera cloud-computing-trends-2022-state-of-the-cloud-reportData security and protectionTo ensure data security and data protection, businesses must evaluate built-in security. Data security is a top priority for cloud providers. For this reason, a growing number of companies opt to store their data with a cloud service provider.

They provide additional advantages like scalability and flexibility in addition to a high level of security. A cloud service is the best option if you want to keep your data in a secure and safe manner.

Given the importance of the topic, we have a dedicated internal security council. The council issues patterns, guidelines, and best practices to be followed by all the public accounts in the organization in collaboration with multiple COEs, said Mahajan.

Access controls are very stringent with cloud providers too though. This implies that the information kept on their servers can only be accessed by authorized employees. This makes it considerably more difficult for anyone without authorization to access the data.

Cloud providers additionally protect data by using two-factor authentication. This implies that users would require a second form of identification in addition to their passwords, such as a fingerprint or an iris scan, in order to access their accounts. This makes it much harder for someone to access data held by a fintech without authorization.

The chosen cloud vendor should have strong internal controls in place and must offer robust tools to help secure data. Also, the majority of cloud providers provide some measure of both in-transit and at-rest encryption. Businesses must enable both of these. They should also consider adding additional layers of encryption as per their needs, Aggarwal comments.

From fewer than 5% today, 40% of enterprises will have a multi-silo, hybrid, and multi-cloud data encryption strategy by 2023.

Growing with cloud techDespite the fact that the cloud in its current form is a relatively new concept, interest in cloud computing is growing. The following are some key reasons why we see such increasing growth for cloud adoption and strong growth in the ERP/CRM, Fintech, and Cloud Telephony industries:

GlobalLogic is addressing the challenges of cloud security and cost management by using cloud-native tools from the cloud providers as well as evaluating third-party tools that wrap around cloud-native capabilities for better recommendations, monitoring, and enforcement, Kumar adds.

After the pandemic, hybrid work environments started to emerge, which has increased the desire to expand beyond traditional cloud models. In order to overcome the obstacles and solve long-term issues, such as adaptability, security, productivity, and efficiency, cloud-based resources are being increasingly used, and multi-cloud solutions are starting to develop.

The change is being seen as cloud service providers take a more important role in counseling clients about the expanding advantages of using multi-cloud architecture and helping them create a more intelligent and long-lasting business.

While all of these present cloud computing as critical to maintaining a profitable technology-driven business organization, the returns on cloud investment opportunities are still subject to a few critical challenges, including successful effective cloud migration, cybersecurity, cloud resource enhancement, people and change management, and a long-term sense of direction for cloud-enabled digital transformation.

How Will the Metaverse Affect Cloud Security? – Trend Micro

Posted: at 12:19 am

An immersive digital world enabled by a range of technologies, including the internet of things (IoT), blockchain, and virtual and augmented reality, the metaverse allows us to see and interact with objects and people. This virtual environment is enhanced by photorealistic avatars that can reproduce your real body through wearable sensors that measure your movements and immersive smart glasses that enable virtual and augmented reality. With these technologies, what you do in the real world controls your experience in the virtual world and vice versa.

Supporting a virtual universe requires vast computing and storage resources. These resources are readily available in the cloud. This predicted uptake of cloud services should lead to purpose-built cloud technologies purpose-built to serve the needs of the metaverse.

As the cloud forms the basis of the metaverse, in what ways will the metaverse affect cloud security?

Top Metaverse security concerns

For a virtual world to operate like the physical world, it must sustain continuous online availability with real-time feedback and continuous operation. High-scale interactions are supported by high-speed information transmission and computing systems. The ideal compute infrastructure for the metaverse supports low latency and big data flows.

Technologies such as cloud computing, 5G, IoT, edge computing, and high-performance computing are ideal for supporting metaverse computing and processing requirements. Adopting these technologies in the metaverse will require more devices connected to the cloud and an increase in cloud infrastructure. Looking at this expansion from a security perspective, an increase in endpoints connected to the cloud will undoubtedly lead to an overall increase in the exposed attack surface.

For example, IoT devices are highly targeted vulnerability points for attackers. This is because they commonly contain weak security controls and portabilitya recipe for infiltrating multiple networks. IoT botnets are not uncommon occurrences, which might be replicated in the metaverse. Attackers target botnets as they allow them to automatically distribute malware, slow down compute power by mining for cryptocurrency, compromise data, and crash servers through DDoS attacks.

The metaverse is tied to the blockchain, which is the primary medium for allowing the trading of digital commodities in this virtual world. Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique cryptographic assets representing physical or digital items as a record on a blockchain. These often-collectible digital assets hold value in a similar way to physical possessions.

As blockchain is possibly the most popular form of payment in the metaverse world. This leaves its impact on cloud security as an area of concern. NFTs are vulnerable to security breaches, allowing users to access tokens and identities as well as conduct illegal transactions. Authentication loopholes may allow an attacker to obtain illegal ownership of an NFT, or an attacker could interfere with NFT media data and metadata to manipulate transactions.

As some favor the decentralized and inexpensive nature of blockchain storage, its up to cloud providers to take a closer look at how their enterprise infrastructure and services relate to these blockchains. The key to this consideration is enhancing the security of keys and associated blockchains.

In addition, this data can be enhanced through access control and authentication mechanisms that promote user data privacy. In the metaverse, hash functions and asymmetric-key encryption help ensure data security. AR and VR systems in the metaverse share a large portion of data. This means cloud providers must ensure secure and seamless data sharing. Finally, blockchain features data encoding capabilities that cloud providers can leverage.

Although the concept of compromised identities is not new to IT security, it has, however, been largely overlooked in virtual worlds and other online environments. The rise of the internet age has made identity theft easier for attackers to execute, but digital identity theft can have far more impact when applied to the metaverse.

For instance, digital identity theft can allow bad actors to access valuable data and take control of assets stored in the metaverse. A thief could spoof your identity, hack your accounts, and take over your avatar. The impact is not only financial, as these cybercriminals using your digital persona possess the power to either purposefully or incidentally ruin your reputation. The anonymity of the metaverse may lead attackers to feel protected and are given the confidence to expand upon such actions.

Fortunately, the metaverse will require an identity and authentication mechanism to secure digital identities. To mitigate cyber risk amongst users, identity verification systems must evolve to match the changing cyber landscape and prevent account takeover in Web3. That said, the metaverse itself offers many promising solutions for addressing digital identity theft challenges.

For instance, using virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) glasses or headsets in the metaverse opens up an opportunity to develop new authentication tools and mechanisms. VR sensors could be configured to provide cutting-edge, uniquely identifying biometric systems such as body motions, hand motions, and gestures.

The metaverse will store a wealth of user data. This includes information on how these consumers interact with the metaverse as well as personal information derived from AR, VR, and IoT devices. As these new devices become available, so do the opportunities for attackers to gain access to valuable information on individuals who may not be aware theyre being tracked by their phone or an IoT device.

New types of sensors in the metaverse allow devices to collect more information than before. This includes biometric data such as fingerprints, retina scans, or voice patterns and audio recordings based on conversationsas well as smartwatches, which can track blood pressure, heart rate, and body temperature. This surge in the amount of sensitive personal data transmitted to and from the cloud will require metaverse vendors leveraging the cloud to look closely at how they manage, share, and store information.

Regardless of how regulators govern the handling of personal data in the metaverse, the techniques used to protect personally identifiable information in conventional cloud environments cannot be ignored. Consumers and organizations hosting metaverse entities should consider a hybrid cloud environment to improve privacy, reliability, scalability, and security.

A hybrid cloud solution adopts a separate yet connected architecture comprised of on-premise, private, and public environments. Youre given the option to store sensitive data or run sensitive workloads on private servers. Encrypted APIs facilitate the security of workloads and data in transit between data centers and cloud environments. To minimize data exposure, it is recommended to host sensitive workloads in the private cloud and less sensitive workloads in the public cloud.

More connections, more challenges

The metaverse will be proven an essential technology for a number of sectors and industries. However, much like any new technological advance, security challenges will undoubtedly arise, namely the impact of the metaverse on cloud platforms.

The metaverse will lead to a connection of more devices in the cloud, expanding the digital attack surface for organizations and individuals. The use of blockchain as the inherent medium of exchange in the virtual world also raises questions about security in the cloud. Identity theft and theft of personally identifiable information in the metaverse remain critical areas of concern.

Can higher ed rally to boost the number of women of color in tech fields? – University Business

Posted: at 12:19 am

(This is the second of two stories on the continuing impact being made by fully online Western Governors University, a non-profit bachelors degree institution based in Salt Lake City.)

You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated Maya Angelou

Perhaps no field, no industry, no pursuit of excellence has perpetuated quite as many barriers for womenand especially women of coloras STEM has in the past four decades. Despite myriad calls for more inclusion, their representation remains paltry at best.

Women of color have only a 4% stake in positions in tech fields. Men are still the dominant force, and often an intimidating one that continues to distance females from even considering a future in those realms, let alone pursuing them with vigor. Without them, however, has U.S. tech lost its way? In some fields, it has completely struggled to keep pace with demand, wherein cybersecurity job openings alone have risen above 500,000. It also has been oft-criticized for not being more open to diverse pools of thought, which can deeply impact innovation.

What the field needs is an upheaval, or as one higher education academic leader notes, a virtuous cycle where consistent financial support and messaging support adult women and young girls of all races to jump in and embrace tech. Marni Baker-Stein, Chief Academic Officer and Provost at the highly creative, highly flexible Western Governors University, says until now that has been difficult to achieve.

In both credentialing programs as well as in the workforce, they have been prevented from rising, she says. There are some systemic challenges around women and girls as early as elementary school moving into pathways that are math- and science-based, just because they are not encouraged to. We lack an infrastructure of encouragement for girls to move into STEM pathways from those earliest grades.

But if that push continues to happen in K-12, where there has been a more cognizant embrace from school leaders, state and local agencies and philanthropy, higher education can level those barriers. WGU, for one, is putting an increased emphasis on supporting women who pursue STEM from the moment they sign on with abundant resources.

There are some areas where we can really bear down in higher education, Baker-Stein says. Girls and women need context, training and development so they truly understand business and industry and the job role theyre interested in. And they need as much financial and wraparound aid and support services that allow, especially adult women.

More from UB: By the numbers: How different is this fully online university from a traditional one?

Western Governors has a steep stake in ensuring that happens, not only because its student body is comprised of two-thirds women, but also because it is one of the worlds education leaders in flexible, digital learning for students. Its reach, like a few of its online contemporaries, is broad enough, powerful enough and collaborative enough to upend the narrative and swing those closed doors wide open. One of its latest endeavors is a partnership with Reboot Representation, which awarded WGU $1 million to raise the number of Black, Latina and Native American women getting IT degrees in the next three years. Its a start.

But to learn more about what can be done to elevate women, and women of color, in tech fields, University Business sat down for an in-depth conversation with Baker-Stein:

This generation of women and girls are extremely tech-savvy. So what are the barriers preventing them from pursuing tech or STEM fields?

The whole generation is tech savvy, but I dont think they necessarily interpret that as a career path. We are still seeing, even in K-through, lower rates of participation of young women and girls in engineering-focused programs and pathways, and math-focused programs and pathways. Thats a deep problem that has cultural roots. They are the minority in those situations. As we are working on that problem, in higher education, there are things that we can do, but they may require far higher and more personalized touch than were used to. From the very moment that a woman is considering going into computer science, cybersecurity, IT or cloud computing, we believe they need extra supports in making that decision, and then understanding how their prior experience fits in with admission criteria and ultimately, with hiring criteria.

The percentage of women of color in these fields is low. WGU has the Reboot partnership happening. What has WGU been doing to try to close some of these gaps?

We have been attentive to making sure we provide broad access to not only women, but women of color. Not only are we worried about their access, we are worried about their progress. Access without attainment means nothing. We are making incredible gains on that. We still struggle, though, in the College of IT, which is still aligned with national averages. We have created a Women in Technology club, which is an academic alliance that brings together students as well as female faculty to focus in on the context of work in tech, gender and wage gap issues, thinking about healthy working environments for women in tech fields. The club has over 1,800 students. Weve got the Reboot representation tech coalition to support women seeking bachelors degrees in the College of IT. We endorse an educational partnership which looks at how can we get more women of color into our programs and how can we place them in jobs. And we try to make sure we are there every hero moment of the way. But its hard, even for us, where we are designed for adult working professionals.

Weve seen studies that show that even girls who are interested and pursue majors in STEM quickly abandon them for other fields. How is WGU working to prevent that?

We have really looked at the course-level frictions in Term 1 and Term 2 thats caused by curriculum sequencing in that first year. From a mastery and competence perspective, we dont want to give the hardest courses up front to students where theyre building up confidence. Developmentally, if were going to flip that course in the second term, what do they need to take in the first term to be ready? Our students take a course on planning assessment to know what their strengths and weaknesses are in that disciplinary level. So we have a good sense when a student starts, this is going to be a breeze for them, or this is something where theyre going to need extra measures of support. We also think about how we diagnose a students readiness for a particular course and proactively support them, rather than realizing that once the course is halfway done.

Employers funding women in tech initiatives are largely pouring money into the K-12 space. But higher ed receives only about 3% of those donations. That must change, right?

Theyre trying to understand the root cause of the systemic problem. Meanwhile, there are so many women out there who perhaps have a four-year degree or an associates degree and have credentials, work experience and leadership experience. With one more credential in IT skills or cybersecurity, they could find themselves in a job market where there are severe employment gaps and where they are incredibly underrepresented. Thats the opportunity. You could really change things overnight. Funders, employers and industry should be attentive to that problem because thats a short-term win. And it creates that virtuous cycle that ends up having impact on younger girls.

What is WGU doing to ensure those career pathways for women pursuing tech fields?

We have a team that maps those credentials against demand for particular job roles. If youre in this degree program, these are the industries, the sectors and the employers. We have the ability to geotarget, as well. We want to say if you are interested in cloud computing, these are the opportunities in the zip code where you live. Thats the intelligence we want to be able to surface to them just in time, not just for the degree, but all the critical competencies on the way to the degree. So, to be able to use that data, align your programs to it, and then provide the supports we need for low-income students of color and women of color. Were so excited about that because not only are they going to get a credential, but we know they have a massive opportunity to get a job.

Why is WGU positioned so well to help this group of students?

The first is, we design and build our programs against a clear need. We can ensure that if you spend the time to get a credential that there is a value for that credential in the marketplace. The second is, we have this highly flexible and highly personalized system, so that when you come to usregardless of your strengths and challenges and potential gaps in your academic record we can create personalized pathways for you to get to your goal. If you are an adult or working professional, or youre a caretaker for your family, we allow the maximum flexibility for balancing work and school. Our community of care, because it is so expansive, does allow us to give levels of service to these women that is pretty unprecedented in higher education. The kind of grace that comes from all that for women builds competence for a population of learners who may not have the confidence they need.

So ultimately, how does the narrative change in getting more women and women of color into these fields?

There is great hope and opportunity in the proliferation of providers of short-term credentials in this space. Whether it is CompTIA, Udacity, Coursera, Google, Meta or Microsoft, these bite-size, valuable points of entry that are priced well are much less intimidating than trying to bite off a whole four-year degree program or two-year degree program. So how do we as an ecosystem come together? And as women raise their hands to take those Grow with Google certificates, or those Meta certificates, how do we value that into career pathways so that they can continue on and get that credential thats going to take them to the next level? Im very hopeful about that. I love the alternative credential ecosystem because I think it gives people a route into building a skills and credential profile that they need to be successful in the future.
