Unlike surveys that just look at what respondents say at a specific point in time, the BPTrends survey has been asking questions of process practitioners for over a decade. Thus, we are in a good position to generalize about ongoing trends in process work. Broadly speaking, the interest in business process change has evolved slowly. For some organizations the progress has been dramatic, but for most, their process initiatives are best described by the phrase “two steps forward; one step back.” An amazing number of organizations have focused on process work for several years, made significant progress, then, seemingly forgotten all about their process work, regressed, and then, a few years later, started up again.

Suddenly, the network is cool again. Tech trends such as the Internet of Things, software-defined networking and growing end-user expectations all add up to a demand for “dialtone” network performance and reliability.

This e-book looks at the trends that are impacting the enterprise network—the modern network—the issues it creates for NetOps professionals, and how organizations can act today to plan for tomorrow.

Wie kann das Netzwerk in dieser Situation Schritt halten und auch noch die künftigen Anforderungen erfüllen?

Zudem werden die damit für NetOps-Experten verbundenen Probleme und Maßnahmen von Unternehmen zur Vorbereitung auf die Zukunft behandelt.

The cyberattacks of 2017 proved more numerous, sophisticated, and ruthless than in years past. Threat actors, armed with knowledge stolen from the CIA and tools lifted from the NSA, demonstrated an elevated level of proficiency. WannaCry and NotPetya, two prominent threats from last year, successfully exploited these stolen assets in their assault on systems worldwide. As 2017 progressed, new opportunities developed in ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS), opening the gates of malware-for-profit to everyone. Advancements in fileless attacks provided new ways for threats to hide from once reliable detection methods. Malware features such as polymorphism continued to play a powerful role in evading traditional defenses. The victims of cybercrime ranged from private businesses to the fundamental practices of democracy. France and the United States saw significant data breaches during their recent presidential elections. Several high-profile companies lost their customers’ personally identifiable information to cyberattacks, blemishing their brands and costing them untold millions in recovery operations. This report contains an overview of the threat trends and malware families Cylance's customers faced in 2017. This information is shared with the goal of assisting security practitioners, researchers, and individuals in our collective battle against emerging and evolving cyberthreats.
