Gloucester based Cyber Security Associates has announced a new working partnership with Hemel Hempstead-based Koris365, an IT Managed Services provider, to build on the company’s current security offering. CSA is adding its robust cyber security services to Koris 365’s customer base. With cyber security attacks, such as ransomware and malware, on the rise, Cyber Security Associates’ expertise, built on a foundation of MOD, GCHQ and ex-military expertise, along with commercially experienced specialists, will give Koris365’s customers’ continued protection against ever-evolving cyber threats. All CSA employees have enhanced Government security clearance. Co-Founder and Managing Director at CSA, David Woodfine, who is also Chairman of the Gloucestershire Local Enterprise Partnership Cyber Security Business Group, comments on the partnership: “I am really pleased and excited to be working together with the talented team at Koris365. We saw a great opportunity to collaborate with Koris365 to enhance their cyber offering to ensure their clients’ security needs are met with our best-of-breed cyber solutions, especially since cyber attacks are increasing not only in frequency but in sophistication. We share Koris365’s commitment to delivering outstanding customer service, so it’s been great to get to know the team behind it, and I look forward to continuing to work with them as an extension of the in-house teams for Koris365 customers.” Group Sales Director, Paul Toms at Koris365, added: “As more businesses transitioned to cloud-based technologies and remote working following the pandemic, it was important to us to find a suitable cyber security partner to build on our existing security solutions so we could enhance and future-proof the new technologies our customers were adopting. Given CSA’s reputation as one of the...
Hear from CIOs, CTOs, and other C-level and senior execs on data and AI strategies at the Future of Work Summit this January 12, 2022. Learn more This article was contributed by Aymane Hachcham, data scientist and contributor to neptune.ai MLOps refers to the operation of machine learning in production. It combines DevOps with lifecycle tracking, reusable infrastructure, and reproducible environments to operationalize machine learning at scale across an entire organization. The term MLOps was first coined by Google in their paper on Machine Learning Operations, although it does have roots in software operations. Google’s goal with this paper was to introduce a new approach to developing AI products that is more agile, collaborative, and customer-centric. MLOps is an advanced form of traditional DevOps and ML/AI that mostly focuses on automation to design, manage, and optimize ML pipelines. Machine learning on top of DevOps MLOps is based on DevOps, which is a modern practice for building, delivering, and operating corporate applications effectively. DevOps began a decade ago as a method for rival tribes of software developers (the Devs) and IT operations teams (the Ops) to interact. MLOps help data scientists monitor and keep track of their solutions in real-life production environments. Furthermore, the real work that happens behind the scenes when pushing to production involves significant issues in terms of both raw performance and managerial discipline. Datasets are huge and constantly expanding, and they can change in real-time. AI models need regular monitoring via rounds of experimentation, adjusting, and retraining. Lifecycle tracking Lifecycle tracking is a process that enables various team members to track and manage the life cycle of...
The cyber security industry is the place for job seekers, as the demand for cyber security professionals is at an all-time high across almost every sector. So, while it is clear that a job in the cyber security industry has many benefits, how do you land a job as a cyber security professional? The best way is to figure out which position you’d like to target and work backwards to acquire the required technical skill, mostly through a combination of education and experience. Education is key. Choosing which cyber security course is right for you depends upon your ultimate cyber security career goals and aspirations. A bachelor’s degree is required for most cyber security positions from entry-level on up, including cyber security engineer, cyber security analyst and cyber security architect. At the same time, a master’s degree should be considered for those looking to gain leadership, managerial and business skills required in high-level positions, including Chief Information Security Officer (CISO). This leads us to experience; landing even an entry-level role will be challenging without it. That’s why it is important to take advantage of internship opportunities while obtaining your bachelor’s or master’s degree so that you are prepared for your first cyber security job upon graduation. To get hired at a higher level in the cyber security field, it is typical that employers will be looking for multiple years of experience. Experience can also come in the form of cyber security certifications. The top 5 certificates employers look out for in cyber security The two most asked questions are: will having cyber security certifications increase my employability? And which...
The Civil Service is recruiting women as cyber security apprentices. If you want an exhilarating career, rich with opportunities and excellent training to progress, don’t delay – apply by 10 March. My name is *Chloe and I’m a government cyber security apprentice who works in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in Manchester. If you’re reading this wondering, “Should I apply for a Government Security Cyber Apprenticeship?” hopefully my experience can help you. I’m currently in my second year of the Government Security Cyber Apprenticeship (level 4), placed within DWP and I can genuinely say it’s been fascinating. I have learned loads and enjoyed it immensely. Leap of faith My pathway into cyber security wasn’t exactly conventional. Other than a passion for cyber security and an A-Level in IT, I lacked a strong technical background. I read history at university and after graduating, worked in hospitality for many years. When the pandemic began, I was working as a full-time nanny. My lack of IT experience was my biggest concern when applying for the apprenticeship, but I decided to take a leap of faith and applied anyway. Opens doors So what do I do day-to-day? My apprenticeship has opened many doors and I’ve discovered that it can be whatever you choose to make of it. I’ve managed to get a range of experience across the different cyber role families including security monitoring, vulnerability management, threat intelligence and risk analysis. Hands-on experience I currently work within a Security Operations team within the DWP Digital directorate. I’ve had the opportunity to get hands-on experience with a multitude of ‘best of breed’...
The field of deep learning has been suffering from what you might call a Big Data fallacy, the belief that more and more data is always a good thing. It may be time to focus on quality rather than just quantity. “There’s a very fundamental problem that a lot of AI faces,” said Andrew Ng, founder and CEO of Landing AI, a startup working to perfect the technology for industrial uses, in an interview with ZDNet this week. “A lot of AI is focused on maximizing the number of calories, which works up to a certain point,” he said. “And sometimes you do have a lot of data, but when you have a small data set, it’s more the quality of the data rather than the sheer volume.” Ng, who ran development of large-scale AI systems including speech recognition technologies when he was founder of the Google Brain unit at Google a decade ago, now has the mandate to build AI technology to be used by corporate clients for practical purposes, such as factory-floor inspection. Landing AI has received $57 million in financing to date in one round in November of last year, from McRock Capital Insight Partners, Taiwania Capital, Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, Intel Capital, Samsung Catalyst Fund, Far Eastern Group’s DRIVE Catalyst, Walsin Lihwa, and AI Fund. Ng is also co-founder of Coursera, the online curriculum company, and an adjunct professor of computer science at Stanford University. The Big Data fallacy has its origins in the technical need deep learning forms of AI have for large samples of a given domain of inquiry. Deep learning approaches...
Hull cyber security firm seeks to expand headcount A Hull based cyber-security and managed IT provider is set for further expansion with more space and more people. Co-founders Scott Clark and Leon McQuade have hit the targets for their latest five-year business plan at the halfway stage, with growth down to changing working habits which they say may persist beyond the pandemic. Leon said: “Things have changed, cyber-attacks are way up. As a result we have re-tooled the business to help our customers protect and grow what matters most – their revenues! The vast majority of managers expect more flexible work from home policies post-pandemic, and they want to be sure their systems are secure.” Think Cloud had only five staff when Scott relocated his original business, Virtual Networking Ltd, to The Deep in late 2018 and joined forces with Leon, whose own business, Profound Inc, specialised in digital transformation for businesses. Between them they added services for clients in accounts and finance, manufacturing, engineering and digital marketing. The central location at The Deep enabled them to attract people at a time when cyber-security skills were in short supply, and they now have 12 staff as well as a dedicated team of outsourced specialists. From starting with a suite of 750 square feet at The Deep they have now added 500 square feet, creating the space to welcome more clients and colleagues. Freya Cross, Head of Business and Corporate at The Deep, said: “Think Cloud are another example of a company coming to our business centre and making the most of the flexibility and support we offer to expand...
