By Cheryl McGrath, ICD.D; Area Vice President and Canadian Country Manager, Optiv Security | James Turgal, Vice President Cyber Risk, Strategy & Transformation, Optiv Security This is the whole game. Cyber security is an enterprise-wide risk management issue, not just an IT issue. Boards need to constantly be looking beyond the headlines that detail the latest breach and consider how they can learn from attackers’ latest methodologies and strategies and ensure the organizations they oversee are prepared. Board and management discussions should include identification of which risks must absolutely be prevented and which to mitigate or transfer through insurance, as well as what specific roadmap and plans are in the company’s detailed cyber plan. What are the current top 10 cyber preparedness questions boards of directors need to ask management? We should number the questions as we’ve stated there are 10. 1) What are the organization’s high value assets? How does the company protect both Information Technology and Operational Technology? Working with Optiv to understand the threats facing your critical assets (including Information Technology and Operational Technology) and closing vulnerability gaps within and between these ecosystems will allow you to gain competitive advantages, greater efficiencies and new market opportunities. We help you through rapid threat assessment, penetration testing, deployment and managed tooling and beyond. 2) Does the organization have a relationship with local police jurisdictions, RCMP, CCCS (Canadian Centre for Cyber Security) and/or reporting thresholds for notifying the police/RCMP/regulators? Working with law enforcement is a vital component of the cybersecurity world. Threat actors come from all backgrounds and locations and working with the local police force, RCMP and regulators...
When it comes to building a new website/app or updating the existing one, it is essential to know the difference between a web designer and a web developer, whose goals may seem a bit similar at the first glance. Although these two positions relate to building a website or a product and can use the same tools, their roles are distinctive in the terms of goal achievement. So let’s dig in and break down each role in detail, so you can easily figure out which one will best suit your project. A web designer: takes care of feel and look A web designer is a person who is responsible for layouts and the visual aspect of your product, as well as for the interaction between different pieces and parts in order to provide a user with usability and seamless flow. Web designers do not build a website – they make prototypes, wireframes (let’s say they craft ideas in a beautiful way) to help developers proceed with the implementation. In essence, a designer is like an architect who focuses on technical aspects such as wireframes, code, content management. However, a great design is not about the integration of all visual elements into functionality – it is rather about adhering to the design process, which results in feasible products that are ready to be worked on by the developers’ team. In order to conceptualize the product and make it stand out from the crowd, a designer has to stay updated on the latest design trends and follow best practices. User persona must be an essential part of a designer’s research before...
Build an Authenticated GraphQL App with Angular, ASP.NET Core and IdentityServer – Part 1 Published Dec 8, 2019 • Updated Mar 19, 2020 Whatever end of the software development stack you spend the majority of your time in, if you’re building a modern web or mobile application in 2019, you’ve at least heard of or are actively working with GraphQL in some capacity. Originally created and open-sourced by Facebook back in 2015 its rapid adoption saw it move to its own foundation in 2018 to be maintained by The Linux Foundation technology consortium. Its become popular due to its ability to simplify client-server interaction while improving the developer experience and productivity. These benefits are a result of reducing the amount of friction and complexity front-end, and back-end teams face while trying to build critical data integrations between application UIs and backend APIs. With such a high emphasis on flexibility and speed to market in today’s software solutions, GraphQL is taking preference over traditional REST APIs for these reasons. Last year I did an introductory post on using GraphQL dotnet with ASP.NET Core. That article still generates some questions from folks involving more real-world use cases that require things like user authentication and UI integration with a given front-end web or mobile technology. With the recent release of ASP.NET Core 3 and continued interest in GraphQL since my original post, it’s a great time to look at a complete example that includes an Angular front-end along with IdentityServer on the back-end to build a fully integrated, modern GraphQL solution. There’s a bit to cover here, so as you may have...
I will skip “What/Why Docker?” part to make it straight to the point! 🤝 Goal: We are gonna use NGINX as a Reverse Proxy for a NodeJS Server. ⧚ For that, I will use 2 Docker images from Docker Hub – One is for NodeJS and another one is for NGINX 🤞 Let’s see this in action! I have already installed – We will create a simple Node Server. We will use http module from node and make a simple http server. server.js file contains the code of our server- var http = require('http'); var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) { response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"}); response.end("Node & Docker Running..."); }); server.listen(3333); console.log("Node HTTP Server started at http://localhost:3333/"); If we run node server.js on our terminal, it will start the server at 3333 port on localhost. We can open a browser and hit http://localhost:3333/ and we can see server is sending the text Node & Docker Running…. Awesome 👏 Now, we want to create a docker image for our Node Server. To do this, we need to create a file named Dockerfile with the below commands- FROM mhart/alpine-node COPY server.js . EXPOSE 3333 CMD node server.js Here, I have used mhart/alpine-node(Minimal Node.js Docker Image) for having NodeJS environment. EXPOSE 3333 means – 3333 port is intended to be published. Now that we have our Dockerfile ready, we will build a Docker image from this file. We can run on the terminal- docker build -t docknode . *Here, docknode is the image name. We can use any name. I will run the docker image now which will make a container for us-...
