Enterprise technology's juxtaposition, complementarity and application

The ability to see within an enterprise with operations requiring various technologies in information, communication, operational, security and compliance, or two or more of these, finds stakeholders, or the need to adjust techniques and make, some ingenious ways to be more effective in their responsibilities and deliverables or production. Enterprise technology is not an area and language to be used where there are only some specializations involved but which still within the confines of information technology. IT may have been serving utility operations or energy generation for sometime already and yet stakeholders cannot see how to work hand-in-hand to increase their own efficiency, and the output for which customers are very dependent. There are efforts but they remain completely separate and the result is the bigger realizations and concerns about costs rather than creation of value from the start, not just when profits began to come in. If IT is not clearly use in such environmen

[TW] Conformance, blockchain and internet transit

From time immemorial to pre-digital regulations businesspeople and their employees have been attending to a lot of business-related policies and requirements imposed either by government where they have operational presence, commitment to acceptable practices and their own industry which includes

  • human resources,
  • labor,
  • customers,
  • food,
  • nutrition,
  • medicine,
  • insurance,
  • environment,
  • workplace,
  • sanitation,
  • fire,
  • electric,
  • accreditation,
  • licenses,
  • securitization,
  • trades,
  • taxes,
  • audit.
Not every business have to deal with all of the above at once. Only those where their business have to do with any or some of them. However every business have to pay taxes and deal with employees, labor, accreditation, licenses including but not limited to safety procedures. In this case the decision makers are mostly businesspeople and they get better with some help for validation from their qualified experts.

The present and beyond digital regulations include both pre-digital and everything that has something to do with technology including
  • infrastructure,
  • communication,
  • data,
  • security,
  • privacy.
Business decision makers could exclusively operate and it was a lot faster to get things done during pre-digital. There was nobody to take responsibility on everything but them alone or some delegated ones with subordinates.

While decisions can be made to be more straightforward and are single-handedly designed by businesspeople, the pre-digital and present requirements have made decisions to be dealt with by both business and technical leaders.

While it's obvious where the coffer is, with pre-digital and present regulations being addressed in a coherent manner as possible, the difference and frequency how and when requirements are defined and submitted for conformance purposes vary accordingly for business and technology people.

In short it is not the only thing being done by the stakeholders. Besides, when we say business, it is about profit and technology must make lives a lot easier for everyone and the enterprise first and foremost.

Business and technical decision makers have to work together. Technology cannot be an excuse to many for not being able to deliver production and customers' expectations. It cannot be that problems are perpetrated, created time and again and even resolutions are impulsive and inconclusive while technology itself is regularly and continuously gets to be improved. Check out how iclassed can make business conformance an effortless but deliberate initiative. 
 
While we are busy with the matter of business-as-usual, there has been a significant increase of interest and adaptation of blockchain. It is no longer just a privacy (more about this in our succeeding post), cryptocurrency and smart contracts but it is gaining grounds to further widen both individuals and enterprises' private if not commercially-material digital holdings including art works, web 3.0 or decentralized web and apps, and decentralized finance, certain stablecoins correlated to cash reserves or banknotes and there are a lot more in the pipeline. That contentious personal content we share via our social media accounts being on top of it all included. That we are going to have more control, if not further ourselves as beneficiary of our own contents. Blockchain overall have disparate networks, the few firsts and popular being so expensive and slow and there are a lot more that are not on a cross-chain or being interoperable, meaning different blockchain networks are particularly independent. Mostly within cryptocurrency wallets they are able to support swapping of supported coins and tokens.

Blockchains appears to have more room for improvement and ordinary people will either adapt to its promising liberal features or just ignore it due to its inherent design flaws and limitation which is only handy for the tenacious geeks. We will find out.

Have you ever wondered if your local telco or ISP has allowed its transit a traffic bursts? This may tell customers or even regulators something else about network congestion, erratic and slow connection, and why customers complained a lot about their poorly managed and sluggish internet experience.

Philippine telcos blocking entire SMS text with internet addresses in it

If you are sending SMS texts to your friends, family or colleagues and they contain internet or web address including IP and email addresses, and even a period or dot separating, regardless of, your words and numbers, they are automatically blocked and not going to be received by your waiting recipient. Cooler heads must prevail here especially if an important message is urgently being expected. IP version 6 address is fine. However, an IPv4 including localhost address (given automatically to every computers and network interfaces as their own alone designed for troubleshooting purposes), and your money in the billion figure using dot as separators would be blocked.  If you send "local.business, naman.naman etcetera" or any words that made you use dot in between them, as part of the text, they will be blocked. There are some, that isn't blocked in this category. Like check.iclassed, some.ent, whatever.local etcetera, that is because they do not form any domain name at all

Philippine cyber campaign

Are Philippine institutions being targeted or simply being probed? We don't know for certain. It could be either or both. Whichever comes first? What we can understand, with the success of such attacks, is that they have found their way. Really.   How hard or easy? The attacker knows, but probably, also, those being attacked. Inclination should be there no matter how sophisticated our security systems are. In cybersecurity, we do a very focused job. Making sure we disappoint whoever is trying to gain access to any resource without permission and authority regardless of the environment we are in. What happened is that every asset deemed to have every variant of resource built-in, operating, that makes up the entire system working whatever it is trying to employ, in that case the primary purpose. Meaning, we have to know if we are running our system in a manner that is really secure, provisioned properly during design stage and managed continuously afterwards, post-implementation. No

iclassed privacy policy, unbelievable at first sight

Those who, before engaging us and was reading our business conduct, alerts and notices , could not restrain themselves asking, "can you really do your job without keeping any data at all? At the end of the day, you should still be looking at those information and make sure you did, and will, do well. I am expecting a lot from you here, you said so yourself!" Now, that last sentence is so loud. We keep them, not in our premises, but yours. If you've been our clients, you'll know how persistent we are when it comes to the reliability and security of your systems, data and credentials. That's our responsibility, as is made popular by cloud computing, and we don't need to be in a cloud.
