Cyber Defense eMagazine March Edition for 2022

The view from the Publisher’s desk is very encouraging, based on celebrating 10 years of growth and success at Cyber Defense Magazine! When our tiny team began our journey at Cyber Defense Media Group (CDMG) together in January 2012, we were happy to help smaller, lesser-known innovators of infosec, get their message out there and Rise Above the noise. Now, after 10 years, we’re even helping multi-billion-dollar companies and governments around the globe with our offices in DC, London, FL, NY and other locations in play, as we continue to scale, thanks to you – our readers, listeners, viewers and media partners. Beyond the magazine, in response to the demands of our markets, the scope of CDMG’s activities has grown into many media endeavors. They now include Cyber Defense Awards; Cyber Defense Conferences; Cyber Defense Professionals (job postings site being revamped); Cyber Defense TV, Radio, and Webinars; and Cyber Defense Ventures (partnering with investors). Please check them out and see how much more CDMG has to offer! Very respectfully and with much appreciation, Gary Miliefsky, Publisher

Not only this, directed data analytics means companies can stay on top of a continuous and<br />

increasing stream of data, allowing more extensive databases to be built whilst allowing <strong>for</strong><br />

analysis on a wider scale.<br />

directed data analytics aims to move on from the digital dashboard approach that has been a<br />

core part of the industry <strong>for</strong> so long. Whilst dashboards are fit <strong>for</strong> the purpose they were created<br />

<strong>for</strong>, businesses are now looking <strong>for</strong> solutions that are fluid and fast-changing. Dashboards can’t<br />

provide the speed to keep up with the rapid onslaught of data that exists in the modern world.<br />

Similarly, when dashboards first emerged, they weren’t just a big step <strong>for</strong>ward <strong>for</strong> data<br />

management - they were also a significant advance <strong>for</strong> MIS (Management In<strong>for</strong>mation Systems)<br />

and EIS (Executive In<strong>for</strong>mation Systems). However, they haven’t yet evolved sufficiently to<br />

continue to be efficient and effective in this area.<br />

Being directed in a competitive landscape<br />

Directed data analytics offers the next generation of data reporting, providing a multitude of data<br />

in a short period, displayed in a customised way that is fit <strong>for</strong> the user and company, and<br />

compiling the data into a broader industry context in order to visualise long-term trends and<br />

patterns. This approach is crucial <strong>for</strong> businesses to remain competitive and stay ahead; with<br />

industries changing at a rapid pace and global events happening on an unprecedented scale.<br />

Providing feedback on product per<strong>for</strong>mance, marketing strategies and customer experience,<br />

directed analytics is fundamental <strong>for</strong> businesses in today’s climate. Without this crucial, timely<br />

in<strong>for</strong>mation, leaders cannot confidently make decisions that will allow them to improve<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mance, profitability and employee satisfaction.<br />

The future of data analysis<br />

Many companies have the data analysis tools and infrastructure they need, but the analysis fails<br />

to have a more comprehensive business impact due to red tape and lack of agility. Data can<br />

often remain stuck in dashboards, reports aren’t circulated to the relevant people, and crucial<br />

insights don’t reach senior decision-makers.<br />

The distinction here is that the technology is widely available and often already implemented;<br />

however, it is the corresponding data analysis that fails to have an impact. It’s what the data<br />

means that needs to be communicated, not the data itself.<br />
