The world of Incident Response is evolving. No longer do we focus on indicators of compromise; we now focus on attacker behavior. MITRE has turned attacker behaviors into a usable framework shared both on their website and on GitHub. MITRE provides the MITRE ATT&CK Navigator on GitHub which includes a complete mapping of all techniques and sub-techniques to help you understand the attacker’s behavior. The Navigator can be leveraged to optimize Incident Response, evolving your team from responsive to predictive response.

Cloud computing enables development teams to get applications into production faster.

Mobile payment systems have solid promise to become the dominant means of financial transactions, but there are some hurdles to overcome. Apple Pay might be the dominant force today, but Google Wallet and others are not far behind. The year 2014 was when digital and mobile payment systems became known to a wide range of the general population, while only techno-enthusiasts were aware of the options in the four to five years prior.
