The Convergence of Operational Risk and Cyber Security

Cyber security has jumped to the top of companies’ risk agenda after a number of high profile data breaches, ransom demands, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks and other hacks. In an increasingly digitized world, where data resides in the cloud, on mobiles and devices connected to the “Internet of Things” threat vectors are multiplying, threatening firms’ operations, customer and bank details and future financial stability.

AI in Planning: Opportunities and Challenges and How to Prepare

whitePaper | September 28, 2022

As stated in the American Planning Association’s 2022 Trend Report for Planners, over centuries, professions have evolved with changing environments, shifting eras, new challenges, societal shifts, and technological innovations. While some professions have become obsolete or or were replaced by technology, others have adapted or readjusted and stayed relevant in an ever-changing world. What is different today is the pace of change, which requires faster, even proactive, adjustments—including new tools, processes, and skills.

Building a Retail Brand with Construction Software

whitePaper | April 16, 2020

A well-built store—one that is consistent with others under a retailer’s umbrella—is a powerful tool for communicating a brand. In fact, arguably nothing (beyond the product itself) is a more tangible signifier of the brand than the store environment. This puts the store planning team in the position of acting as brand managers and means that for the construction manager, whether he/she is employed in house by the retail company or as a contractor specializing in retail construction, understanding the brand (the retailer’s goals, visions, and marketing strategies) is a cornerstone of day-to-day work.

Machine Learning on Arm Cortex-M Microcontrollers

whitePaper | January 20, 2022

Machine learning (ML) algorithms are moving to the IoT edge due to various considerations such as latency, power consumption, cost, network bandwidth, reliability, privacy and security. Hence, there is an increasing interest in developing neural network (NN) solutions to deploy them on low-power edge devices such as the Arm Cortex-M microcontroller systems. To enable that, we present CMSIS-NN, an open-source library of optimized software kernels that maximize the NN performance on Cortex-M cores with minimal memory footprint overhead. We further present methods for NN architecture exploration, using image classification on CIFAR-10 dataset as an example, to develop models that fit on such constrained devices.

Best Practices for Secure Access of Third Party APIs from Mobile Apps

whitePaper | September 28, 2022

Mobile apps typically communicate with several backend services over the Internet. In some cases those services may have been developed specifically for that mobile app, but in most cases the app will be dependent on services developed by a 3rd party. This whitepaper discusses how communication with those services can be properly secured, and how Approov’s new runtime secrets protection feature enables significantly enhanced security to be added with a minimum of development effort.
