L-R Ohad Bobrov and CEO Ofer Ben Noon, co-founder of Talon Cyber Security/ credit Shai Sharon Talon Cyber Security, the first secure corporate browser developer, has been named one of 10 finalists for the RSA Conference 2022 Innovation Sandbox Contest. Founded in 2021 by CEO Ofer Ben-Noon and CTO Ohad Bobrov, Talon raised $43 million seed to date. Ofer Ben-Noon, co-founder and CEO stated that the traditional method of giving safe access to current apps is costly, difficult, and puts businesses in danger. “TalonWork delivers a novel, simple, and seamless first line of protection for business security while radically reducing the complexity of the technological stack.” RSA competition is recognized as a catapult for success and the top 10 finalists have combined celebrated 69 acquisitions and garnered $9.8 billion in investments since it started in 2005. On June 6, Talon will present its technology to an industry-renowned panel of judges and a live audience at a conference in San Francisco. Ten candidates will vie for the title “Most Innovative Startup.” Talon will have three minutes to pitch the panel of judges before a question-and-answer round.” Ben-Noon stated, “We can’t wait to unveil our solution at RSA Conference and show everyone how we have changed the browser into a control point and genuine business enabler for security and IT organizations.” Talon enables enterprises to simplify their security programs by bringing enterprise-grade security to the browser and offering native capabilities such as identity protection, data loss prevention, and zero trust controls. Customers utilize Talon to monitor and safeguard SaaS apps, online activities, corporate and non-corporate devices, and non-corporate devices. The company,...
A reflection on my own data science self-study journey Photo by Siora Photography on Unsplash Self-study has become an increasingly popular and viable route to take to enter the field of data science. However, like in any field, self-study comes with a lot of challenges — you have to build your own curriculum, keep yourself motivated and hold yourself accountable for your learning. I was no exception to these challenges and I made a lot of mistakes on my journey. I created a 6-month data science self-study curriculum that started in November 2021. Even though I had already obtained a Master’s degree in Statistics and worked in data science for a few years, the truth is that data science is advancing rapidly and there was still so much I didn’t know. After reading about Daniel Bourke’s AI masters curriculum, I thought it would be a great idea to create a curriculum of my own to build and improve my data science skills. However, my 6-month self-study curriculum did not go as planned. If you’re thinking of self-studying data science then I encourage you not to make the same mistakes I did. My data science curriculum The curriculum I created had a mix of courses and books. I tried to incorporate resources from different sources so that I was not only relying on a single person/company/platform. If one resource did not explain things in a way that helped me then I could easily switch to another than taught the material in a way that I understood. Foundations & Machine Learning: Deep Learning: Additional Resources: I completed around half of the material I intended to cover in my...
Happy May! Recently the i3 team sat down and listened to former Assistant Director of the FBI Cyber Division, James Trainor, speak at the Grand Rapids Economic Club. When it comes to cybersecurity, Trainor recommends remaining cautious while also realizing that everyone in your business determines its cyber security risk. 5 Key Takeaways from Trainor’s speech: The cybersecurity landscape has changed drastically in the last five years. If your corporation is dealing with ransomware, it is to your benefit to bring in the free labor and expertise of the FBI. The best security measures individuals can take are: 1) use an Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP) across your devices to prevent malware and data breaches; 2) enable a password protector like Keychain on Apple devices; and 3) segment your networks, i.e. have a guest network on your home WiFi network, for example. 5G will have as great an impact on society as the railroads had in the 1800s. It will transform technology and greatly expand our cellular network, changing the main players in the data field and magnifying cyber risk. We will likely watch the ramifications unfold for the 3- 5 years after 5G is ubiquitous. Your online profile begins with the first account you open—which, for many people, happens as early as a teenager. Recognizing the impact, one’s social profile can have on college entry, employability, and even personal safety, I recommend parents be heavily involved in their children’s online usage. We need more partnerships between the public and private sectors so we can create continuous technical disruption operations that make it so difficult for bad actors to launch...

Single Responsibility and Open-Closed Principle Single responsibility means, each class should only do one thing. One of the reasons why each class should have single responsibility is because a class can be changed by more than one member of the group for different reasons. If a class has many responsibilities, the more often the class will be modified then. This can cause module incompatibility and the possibility of conflicts when the code is merged will also be higher. Secondly, open-closed principle means, we should make our class open to extension and closed to modification. In other words, if we want to add functionality, we just need to add new lines of code without interfering the existing code. The goal is the same with the previous principle, which is to minimize the risk of generating errors from editing existing code. Those principles are two of five of the well-known object-oriented programming principles called SOLID principles: Single responsibility, Open-closed, Liskov substitution, Interface segregation, and Dependency inversion. For more details on the other principles, you can search the internet for yourself. More Files, More Commits Working in a team is closely related to using a version control system like Git. One thing that complicates the work the most is the existence of conflicts in certain files caused by different versions of changes from different team members. A possible solution is to create separate files for each different class (or function related to each other). This aims to minimize the possibility of conflicts in files that are being edited by more than one programmer at the same time. Imagine if there is a...
