Privileged access is the gateway to an organization’s most valuable assets and is at the core of nearly every major security breach. Organizations must have a strategy in place to manage and monitor privileged access, as well as detect and respond to threats if they’d like to mitigate risk from today’s advanced attacks. Your application stack and infrastructure is likely quite complex and it can be hard to identify which assets are the most sensitive. And there is a never-ending supply of vendors knocking down your door competing for your time and attention. These two realities make it increasingly difficult to identify which security project to tackle next. When thinking about how to prioritize, it is advantageous to take a step back and think about your businesses goals, albeit in a slightly different way: try to envision what you would be looking for if you were an external attacker or malicious insider looking to steal sensitive data, commit Ransomware, or use your infrastructure for illicit cryptomining.

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.

Front Line Consulting (FLC) is a government consulting firm—and majority veteran-ownedand-operated Project Manager-as-Agent. Presently, FLC is managing a group of 60 publicly-funded projects for Travis County, home of the unequalled Austin, Texas. Front Line’s responsibilities include meeting a tight “substantial completion” deadline defined in public forum, coming in on (taxpayer-funded) budget, and keeping elected officials apprised of financials and material progress in projects within their respective jurisdictions.

Back in 2016, the most popular app download on Christmas Day was Fitbit, dominating Apple’s App Store. The rapid adoption of Fitbit and other wearable fitness trackers has underpinnings in psychological motivation theories. Realtime data monitoring provides a powerful incentive that is capable of changing human behavior. Since 2016, the wearable technology market has continued to evolve, including the acquisition of Fitbit by Google, which was announced in November 2019.
