December 11th: Mobile Health: Opportunities and Obstacles

Mobile medical devices and apps are popping up all over. This growth offers opportunities for developers, clinicians and patients alike. But along with those opportunities come several obstacles to contend with. Depending on the type of app, developers will have to jump through all sorts of hoops to get FDA approval. Similarly clinicians sometimes face resistance from IT managers when they want to bring their own devices into the enterprise setting. And patients are faced with a long list of mobile apps, some of which offer more hype than help. Join us for this InformationWeek Healthcare virtual event, where editors and industry experts will sort through these issues and discuss how to best take advantage of all that mobile health has to offer patients, clinicians, and entrepreneurs.

Keys to Conquering Complexity and Risk -- Collaboration, Automation and Agility
An InformationWeek Webcast

Complexity in software and systems design is only expected to rise, and more than half of CEOs doubt their ability to manage it. Design is a critical capability in ALM and key to achieving true agility and tackling complexity. While current design tools enable individual architects and developers to simplify aspects of application and systems complexity, their focus on the individual limits their ability to tackle this complexity.

Real progress in simplification requires collaboration between the design team and key stakeholders and artifact integration across the lifecycle. Attend this live Webcast and learn from IBM experts how collaborative design management enables teams to succeed in becoming more productive in managing complexity through the latest collaborative and integrated design capabilities.

Securing Web and Mobile Apps: The Future of Digital Identity
A Dark Reading Webcast

Humans are often the weakest link in the security of web and mobile apps as they struggle to maintain unique passwords across their many devices and services. Enforcing complex, frequently changing passwords only exacerbates the issue. Besides annoying users, this tactic fails to significantly improve identity assurance for secure login practices. Combining that weakness with the hundreds of portals, web and mobile applications hacked monthly, the result is millions of passwords and confidential records that could potentially get into the hands of hackers. How do you keep your app or portal off this list?

A Dark Reading Webcast

What vulnerabilities threaten the integrity of your software supply chain and data? Can your enterprise really influence software vendors to meet your most important security policies and remediate insecure software? Action is needed, and urgently.

The Myth of Systems of Record vs. Systems of Engagement
An InformationWeek Webcast

Many business people are familiar with Geoffrey Moore's dichotomy of "systems of record" and "systems of engagement." While this construct is a simple, clear way of categorizing software purpose and functionality, it doesn't reflect reality in most organizations. Every day, workers create business records within email, collaboration, and social networking applications. At the same time, they seek to communicate and work with others within the context of work processes supported by their organizations' back-end systems, including those used to manage content.

In this InformationWeek Webcast, Larry Hawes, principal at Dow Brook Advisory Services, will make the case for digital environments that provide the data and content, as well as the communication and collaboration tools, needed to perform specific tasks, while shielding most workers from the complexity associated with the capture and management of legal business records.

Connecting IT Workload Automation to Business: Collaboration Reaps Big Benefits
An InformationWeek Webcast:

IT workload automation has turned into a team sport. Schedulers can't work alone anymore. They must work collaboratively with a variety of IT professionals such as application developers, database administrators, IT operators and even business users in order for workflows to be properly defined, scheduled and maintained. But how does that collaboration occur today? Traditionally, communication has been disjointed -- a mismatch of phone calls and emails that often add up to inefficient communications. In the end, it often takes a lot of iterative work to get to the finish line. However, it doesn't have to be this way.

In this webcast learn how you can:

• Create a collaborative work environment using BMC Control-M to simplify defining and maintaining workflows.
• Share your workflow definitions with constituents and let them modify or review as needed.
• Build shared knowledge and expertise as teams work together to define how to deliver needed services.
• Share the state and status of workflows with constituents and stakeholders as they execute.

Join BMC Software to see how you can easily streamline your workload automation and deliver IT and business services faster and more cost effectively.

Measuring Software Quality: Why Your Metrics Don't Make the Grade
An InformationWeek Webcast

The two things companies measure more often than anything else are software quality and customer satisfaction. Unfortunately, many software companies are using the wrong metrics, and potentially missing the point when it comes to ensuring that their software meets the standards that define quality, and result in customer satisfaction.

In this presentation, you'll learn how the measures and metrics commonly utilized by leading software producers are failing to provide practical, meaningful and actionable data for organizations to improve their products and impact customer satisfaction.

In addition, you'll hear how the most successful companies are focusing on two primary metrics that have proven to be the most powerful and effective for quality analysis. Join us and find out how to update and enhance your quality measures and metrics so that defects can be predicted before they occur, identified and measured when they do occur, and ultimately eliminated to push your customer satisfaction to the highest possible levels.

Cyber Attacks: Are You Really Safe?
A Dark Reading Webcast

Are you ready for the coming Cyber War? Attacks against financial institutions and other critical commercial institutions are just the beginning. The big question is how are they doing it? These sophisticated cyber attacks are resource-intensive for cyber criminals. So, they are now using advanced evasion techniques (AETs) to protect their investment and stay under the radar. And recent testing has proven that most network security is unable to stop AETs.

Join us for the informative session to learn the following:

• What is an AET attack and how does it differ from advanced persistent threat attacks
• How AETs work against even the best network security.
• What you can do now to add protection to your current security
• See a demonstration of an AET live, bypassing state-of-the-art firewall and IPS technology

All attendees will receive a link to download a free, ready-made evasion test lab to use in their own environments.

About Evasion Techniques: An evasion is an attempt to disguise an attack, in order to avoid detection and blocking by network security systems. Evasions can be used in normal requests, as well as in attacks. An attack consists of a delivery mechanism (e.g. a buffer overflow) and a malicious payload (e.g. code that is executed by the victim computer). An attack is considered successful if the delivery mechanism succeeds in gaining access to the victim computer, regardless of whether the security device detects or responds to the attack.
