In a previous post my colleague spoke about how ensuring devices on your network is a great way to minimize the attack surface of your infrastructure. Organizations like the Center for Internet Security (CIS) provide guidelines on how to best configure operating systems to minimize the attack surface. The CIS calls these “benchmarks.”

The importance of cyber security compliance training cannot be underestimated, especially in the current era where we are seeing an increasing number of cybercrimes in the industry.

In the world of Big Data, decentralization is king. Seeing that today’s data sets are so large and complex that traditional database systems cannot handle them, distributed deep learning splits computational problems that require high storage and solving time into many subproblems that can be assigned to multiple machines.

2023 might be a really important year for real-time payments (RTP) development in North America. FedNow, a real-time payments service, is on track to go operational in 2023 in the USA, while the Real-Time Rail (RTR) payment system will be fully launched in Canada, also in 2023. Currently, in their test phases, these payment systems will go mainstream next year, making faster payments more accessible to smaller financial institutions and businesses.
