Cloud, Cybersecurity, and Modernization Will Power Digital Business Models and Increased IT Spending, say Global 2000 Executives: Infosys – HFS Research

– Report delineates impact of COVID-19 across industries; causing seismic shifts in business transition

– 51 percent organizations consider remote work or hybrid workforce model to be the way forward

BENGALURU, India, Dec. 3, 2020 — Infosys (NYSE: INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, together with HFS Research unveiled a market study titled, ‘Nowhere to Hide: Embracing the Most Seismic Technological and Business Change in our Lifetime.’ Focusing on how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted businesses across industries, this joint study by Infosys and HFS Research revealed that numerous organizations have accelerated the adoption of automation, digital business models, and the hyper-scale cloud to respond to customer needs quickly and competitively. The report also brought to fore a shift in corporate mindset to advocate change and digitize businesses.

The world changed overnight as COVID-19 created a state of upheaval and economic uncertainty, deeming the real-time prediction of complex risk scenarios as critical. The HFS Research spotlights the emergence of dynamic digital organizations energized by technology that has opened avenues for rapid progression and business growth. The report further highlights that more than digitizing processes, digital transformation is about business leaders reshaping existing business models and exploring new ways of uniting people, data, and processes to create value for their customers. The Infosys-HFS Research additionally emphasizes the strategies implemented by successful companies in various industries (G2K) to survive and thrive in the post-pandemic economy.

For the study, HFS Research, in partnership with Infosys, surveyed 400 Global 2000 executives to understand how businesses can survive and thrive in the economy riddled with the pandemic. It offers perspectives to develop an outlook for IT and business services in the current geopolitical environment.

Key findings:

  • Bigger impact: Almost 70 percent of respondents believe that COVID-19 will have a bigger impact than the 2008 downturn with budgets, supply chains, employee availability, and customer intimacy being impacted the most.
  • Businesses that will thrive: The public sector, banking, insurance, healthcare, life sciences, and the high-tech industry respondents are relatively confident as they see emerging opportunities for making appropriate investments amid the crisis.
  • Protecting the business: At least 65 percent of respondents are insulating their business from volatility by building diverse customer pools and investing in an agile business model. 
  • Digitize and Adapt: Over 60 percent of enterprises plan to accelerate their digital transformation initiatives and over 70 percent plan to change their product and service portfolio to drive greater customer value.
  • Critical IT investments to compete: Investing in creating a virtual, secure, and cloud-enabled IT environment that enables remote working at scale (virtualization, collaboration, security). Investments in the cloud, cybersecurity, and modernizing core IT apps and infrastructure are at the top of the priority heap.
  • Increased IT spending: Enterprises expect to increase their spending the most on business and digital consulting, followed by IT infrastructure services (including cloud). They expect the demand for IT and business process services to pick up to serve the dual purpose of driving digital while saving cash.
  • Unleash your people to thrive. Nearly 90 percent of organizations realize they need to reposition to unleash people in the new reality. Post-COVID, working arrangements will change dramatically. Only 37 percent prefer a return to an office-based environment. The work culture will evolve from siloed working to interdisciplinary collaboration.

Pravin Rao, Chief Operating Officer at Infosys said, "Post-COVID, we have witnessed accelerated scaling of digital across most enterprises. The strategic investment in cloud, cybersecurity, and modernization is not only helping businesses sharpen their focus on end-to-end customer journeys but also enabling them to do a lot more with much higher agility. With so much at stake to drive customer centricity and productivity, investment in employees and ensuring their well-being is of paramount importance. In a distributed work environment such as today, employees are an important centerpiece within the companies’ strategy framework and therefore, it is imperative for organizations to see how the hybrid work model can be made more effective, productive, resilient, and secure."

"A new dawn will emerge as the fog clears. We must embrace this brave new business world where a perfect alignment of business outcomes and their enabling technologies demand all our focus and creativity. We are living through the emergence of dynamic digital organizations where people are energized by technology, where they plug into business experiences that are progressing rapidly to places where the possibilities are limitless, where the future is unravelling before our eyes.  What we have experienced – inside of a single year – is the coming together of people to confront their fear of change to face the reality that their organization will sink without it," said Phil Fersht, CEO and Chief Analyst, HFS Research.

Methodology

HFS Research, in partnership with Infosys, surveyed 400 Global 2000 executives to understand how businesses can survive and thrive in the pandemic economy and to develop an outlook for IT and business services in the current geopolitical environment. HFS segmented the research findings according to its four phases of pandemic shock response: crisis, stabilization, realization, and unleashing people.

discrimiNAT Next-Generation Firewall now available on Google Cloud Marketplace

Chaser’s discrimiNAT firewall gives developers the ability to filter egress traffic by hostnames on Google Cloud’s platform.

LONDON, Dec. 2, 2020 — Chaser Systems today announced the availability of discrimiNAT, a next-generation firewall, on Google Cloud Marketplace, providing the capability to filter egress traffic by hostnames. This will simplify the effort required by developers and security architects alike in implementing a robust and cloud-native egress filtering solution.

The discrimiNAT features Chaser’s Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine, written in-house from the ground up, with the cloud and developer experience in mind. It features:

  • Configuration embedded within VPC firewall rules
  • Logging integrated with Stackdriver
  • 5-minute deployment
  • Enforced encryption levels for compliance, such as TLS 1.2 for PCI-DSS

"The internet has more than 4 billion IPv4 addresses; and a number that approaches infinity when it comes to IPv6. Ephemeral environments in the cloud come and go in minutes, and IP addresses assigned to services change in seconds from the dynamism and fault tolerance. When setting firewall rules, the world needed to move on from thinking in IP addresses to canonical names. This avant-garde capability has recently emerged across leaders in the public cloud, and Chaser’s discrimiNAT fits it on Google Cloud like a glove," said Dhruv Ahuja, Founder of Chaser Systems.

A discrimiNAT deployment brings immediate benefit with visibility of all outgoing data from customer-managed networks, such as preventing:

  • Unauthorised phoning home
  • Opt-out telemetry data
  • Data loss from a Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability
  • Exfiltration with Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
  • Use of outdated cipher strengths either by client or server
  • Uncontrolled bounds in the supply chain of a software build

"We leveraged Google Cloud’s internal load balancer bump-in-the-wire technology to build a genuinely cloud-native and seamless solution. By staying away from a transparent proxy like a solution, a whole category of risks such as protocol downgrades and performance degradation were architected out. The engine is ready-to-go for the ever-evolving encryption standards of a democratised internet."

Search for discrimiNAT on Google Cloud Marketplace today.

Chaser Systems was founded in 2019 with a mission of delivering frictionless security software for use by agile developers in enterprise environments. Enthusiasts are welcome to their lab at Level39, Canary Wharf, London — the world’s most connected tech community and the renowned birthplace of Revolut and Digital Shadows — to see their technology working on a Raspberry Pi.

Re-Innovation of Thermal Imaging Technology – FOTRIC Releases Intelligent Thermal Imagers 340A & 340M

SHANGHAI, Dec. 1, 2020 — Professional thermal imaging brand FOTRIC continues to innovate in technology for users to "enhance efficiency and ensure safety". In August, FOTRIC launched a temperature screening thermal imager for epidemic prevention and maintenance control. Recently, FOTRIC released a breakthrough: intelligent thermal imagers 340A and 340M, which are suitable for industrial equipment maintenance, power and electrical testing, building inspection, etc.

Looking back, FOTRIC has repeatedly achieved successes in product development. In 2017, FOTRIC participated in the USA CES Exhibition and its independently developed products were widely acclaimed. In 2018, FOTRIC won the first place in the electrical application category in the USA IR/INFO Conference. In 2019, FOTRIC’s newly developed product won the 2019 German iF International Industrial Design Award.

AI Boosted Performance

Industrial users are familiar with thermal imagers. However, 340A and 340M are not ordinary models. FOTRIC innovatively fuses AI technology with wisdom and agile genes and brings users an extraordinary intelligent control experience. For example, there is an AI Key supporting programming shortcuts to preset interfaces or functions.


Superior Imaging

"Temperature measurement" and "imaging" are the two core functions of the thermal imager. An easy-to-use thermal imager is inseparable from accurate temperature measurement and high-definition imaging. 340A and 340M are developed based on FOTRIC’s ten years’ solid technology focusing on accurate temperature measurement and thermal imaging. Their temperature measurement stability and consistency have reached the industry-leading level. For imaging, FOTRIC brings a breakthrough innovative technology – "MagicThermal" Multi-color Dynamic. This function allows advanced imaging performance under complex diagnoses and superior in-picture smart isolation of hot-spots for easy live analysis of areas of interest.


TurboFocus on the Go

The 340A model is equipped with an intelligent focusing system "TurboFocus", which realizes fast, accurate, and quiet one-button autofocus. While with the continuous focus function, users do not need to concern about focusing, and can just aim and shoot, which greatly improves the detection efficiency.

At present, FOTRIC seeks partners worldwide to provide local users with customized high-quality services.

About FOTRIC

FOTRIC is the world’s leading provider of precision temperature measurement infrared thermal imaging products and solutions.

Headquartered in Shanghai, China, FOTRIC has distributors in tens of countries and regions including North America, Europe, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, and Taiwan. FOTRIC’s sales network covers multiple fields including power, industry, scientific research, and security.

Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity launches new generation of high-speed network encryptors and software-based VPN Client


MUNICH, Nov. 30, 2020

IT security expert Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity presents two new security solutions, approved by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) for VS-NfD (RESTRICTED), NATO RESTRICTED and RESTREINT UE/EU RESTRICTED classification level:  R&S®SITLine ETH NG, a new generation of high-speed network encryptors, offering scalable transmission rates from 10 Mbit/sec to 40 Gbit/sec, and R&S®Trusted VPN Client, a software-based VPN Client, enabling users to work in a secure and encrypted mobile environment.

With R&S SITLine ETH NG, Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity provides application- and user-independent basic security for cross-location network communications for government agencies and enterprises. The variants of the product line are called R&S SITLine ETH-L, an encryptor for up to four independent 10 Gbit/sec lines, and R&S SITLine ETH-S, a compact system for lines with up to 1 Gbit/sec. The solution encrypts communications already at layer 2 level, thus also provides protection against operating errors if, for example, the wrong security level is selected for email transmissions of sensitive content. The network encryptor thus also guarantees users independence from telecommunications providers and component suppliers. The Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity Ethernet encryptors are "Security Made in Germany". With 30 years of crypto expertise, the manufacturer is one of the pioneers in the field of network encryption.

With R&S Trusted VPN Client, Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity facilitates encrypted, mobile work despite VS-NfD (RESTRICTED) requirements. The solution protects the network communication of a client platform (Windows laptop or tablet) with a government or corporate network over an untrusted network such as the internet. R&S Trusted VPN Client is software-based and requires no additional hardware, meaning that users can work on the move at the airport, from home office or from other public spaces without any restrictions. The "Always On" mode provides additional security. Users are always protected in untrusted networks. Thanks to its high scalability, R&S Trusted VPN Client can be individually adapted to changing work requirements at any time.
