This one is pretty brutal based on the much smarter people I’m hearing from. Log4j is everywhere, it’s trivial to exploit, & can be daisy chained thru services. The good news is Apache got a fix out fast and IT/IR teams are more & more primed for these events. The race is on…

A sitting president undermining our political process & questioning the legality of the voices of countless Americans without evidence is not only dangerous & wrong, it undermines the very foundation this nation was built upon. Every American should have his or her vote counted.

77% of #PublicSector respondents from our Data Age survey noted a shortage of in-house skills as a major barrier to #ITModernization. Our own @Billwrightv unveils the implications for this and more in @FederalTimes. #DataAgeIsHere splk.it/31KqIn6

The Data Age is here — but are feds ready?

The reality is nearly all future government jobs will have some element of data involved.
