Business intelligence (BI) refers to technologies and systems used by enterprises to analyze operational data with business analytics tools and techniques to help corporate decision-making and governance. It involves gathering data from various sources, managing and storing that data in a data warehouse or data mart, and providing access to it for analysis.
The Gartner Group is an American research and advisory firm providing information to information technology and other industries. The group popularized the term "business intelligence" as an umbrella concept to describe methods and technologies to improve business decision making through fact-based support systems. They defined BI as consisting of two main environments - the data to information environment, where operational

Chapter Overview
■ This chapter will cover pages 189-206 in
your book.
■ This chapter discusses how Information
Technology (IT) aligns directly with the
success of Information Governance.
2
What is Information Technology?
■ Information technology (IT) is a core function impacted by
information governance (IG) efforts.
– The IT side, shared responsibility for IG means the IT
department itself must take a closer look at IT processes
and activities with an eye to IG.
– A focus on improving IT efficiency, software development
processes, and data quality will help contribute to the
overall IG program effort
3
CIO & IT Leaders Key Focus Areas
■ Four IG areas for successful delivery of IG efforts:
1. Don’t focus on technology, focus on business impact
■ IT needs to become more business savvy, more businesslike, more
focused on delivering business benefits that can help the organization
to meet its business goals and achieve its business objectives.
2. Customize your IG approach for your specific business, folding in
any industry-specific best practices possible.
■ there are components that are common to all industries, but tailoring
your approach to your organization is the only way to deliver real
business value and results
3. Make the business case for IG by tying it to business objectives
■ The business case must be presented in order to gain executive
sponsorship, which is an essential component of any IG effort.
4. Standardize use of business terms
■ IG requires a cross-functional effort, so you must be speaking the
same language, which means the business terms you use in your
organization must be standardize

Data
Governance
■ Data is big, data is growing, data is
valuable, and the insights that can be
gained by analyzing clean, reliable data
with the latest analytic tools are a sort of
new currency.
■ focuses on information quality from the
ground up (at the lowest or root level), so
that subsequent reports, analyses and
conclusions are based on clean, reliable,
trusted data (or records) in database
tables
■ Data governance is a newer, hybrid
quality control discipline that includes
elements of data quality, data
management, IG policy development,
business process improvement, and
compliance and risk management.
■ Data governance with real-time analytics
and business intelligence (BI) software
not only can yield insights into significant
and emerging trends but also can provide
solid information for decision makers to
use in times of crisis—or opportunity.

It also discusses why IT governance is important, who benefits, common frameworks that can be used, as well as advantages and disadvantages.
Information systems involve organizational, management, and technology dimensions. Computer specialists understand technology but may lack business knowledge, so they should work as part of an interdisciplinary team. Information systems are essential in business today due to trends like globalization, the rise of knowledge economies, the transformation of business models, and the emergence of digital firms. An information system includes interrelated components for collecting, processing, storing, and sharing information to support decision making. It differs from a computer or program, which are technological components of an information system. Data becomes useful information after being processed into meaningful form.

Event date: 19th June 2024, Tate Modern
This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

Chapter Overview
■ This chapter will cover pages 189-206 in
your book.
■ This chapter discusses how Information
Technology (IT) aligns directly with the
success of Information Governance.
2
What is Information Technology?
■ Information technology (IT) is a core function impacted by
information governance (IG) efforts.
– The IT side, shared responsibility for IG means the IT
department itself must take a closer look at IT processes
and activities with an eye to IG.
– A focus on improving IT efficiency, software development
processes, and data quality will help contribute to the
overall IG program effort
3
CIO & IT Leaders Key Focus Areas
■ Four IG areas for successful delivery of IG efforts:
1. Don’t focus on technology, focus on business impact
■ IT needs to become more business savvy, more businesslike, more
focused on delivering business benefits that can help the organization
to meet its business goals and achieve its business objectives.
2. Customize your IG approach for your specific business, folding in
any industry-specific best practices possible.
■ there are components that are common to all industries, but tailoring
your approach to your organization is the only way to deliver real
business value and results
3. Make the business case for IG by tying it to business objectives
■ The business case must be presented in order to gain executive
sponsorship, which is an essential component of any IG effort.
4. Standardize use of business terms
■ IG requires a cross-functional effort, so you must be speaking the
same language, which means the business terms you use in your
organization must be standardize

Data
Governance
■ Data is big, data is growing, data is
valuable, and the insights that can be
gained by analyzing clean, reliable data
with the latest analytic tools are a sort of
new currency.
■ focuses on information quality from the
ground up (at the lowest or root level), so
that subsequent reports, analyses and
conclusions are based on clean, reliable,
trusted data (or records) in database
tables
■ Data governance is a newer, hybrid
quality control discipline that includes
elements of data quality, data
management, IG policy development,
business process improvement, and
compliance and risk management.
■ Data governance with real-time analytics
and business intelligence (BI) software
not only can yield insights into significant
and emerging trends but also can provide
solid information for decision makers to
use in times of crisis—or opportunity.

This document discusses IT governance and provides an overview of key concepts. It defines IT governance as consisting of leadership, structures, and processes to ensure IT supports business strategies and objectives. The document outlines five areas of focus for IT governance: strategic alignment, value delivery, resource management, risk management, and performance measurement. It also discusses why IT governance is important, who benefits, common frameworks that can be used, as well as advantages and disadvantages.
Information systems involve organizational, management, and technology dimensions. Computer specialists understand technology but may lack business knowledge, so they should work as part of an interdisciplinary team. Information systems are essential in business today due to trends like globalization, the rise of knowledge economies, the transformation of business models, and the emergence of digital firms. An information system includes interrelated components for collecting, processing, storing, and sharing information to support decision making. It differs from a computer or program, which are technological components of an information system. Data becomes useful information after being processed into meaningful form.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

Corporate Open Source Anti-Patterns: A Decade LaterScyllaDB
A little over a decade ago, I gave a talk on corporate open source anti-patterns, vowing that I would return in ten years to give an update. Much has changed in the last decade: open source is pervasive in infrastructure software, with many companies (like our hosts!) having significant open source components from their inception. But just as open source has changed, the corporate anti-patterns around open source have changed too: where the challenges of the previous decade were all around how to open source existing products (and how to engage with existing communities), the challenges now seem to revolve around how to thrive as a business without betraying the community that made it one in the first place. Open source remains one of humanity's most important collective achievements and one that all companies should seek to engage with at some level; in this talk, we will describe the changes that open source has seen in the last decade, and provide updated guidance for corporations for ways not to do it!
