Understanding Communication Privacy Management Theory: A Guide for Everyday Life
- CPM (Communication Privacy Management) is a theory that explains how people handle private information.
- CPM is based on five core principles: ownership and control of private information, rules for concealing and revealing, disclosure creates co-ownership, negotiating privacy boundaries, and boundary turbulence.
- An example of boundary turbulence is when private information shared with a colleague at work gets disclosed to the boss, leading to an awkward situation.

Shared Intel Q&A: A thriving ecosystem now supports AWS ‘shared responsibility’ security model
- Amazon has come a long way with AWS Shared Responsibility Model introduced in 2013 to divide cloud security obligations between AWS and its patrons.
- AWS has introduced and promoted a range of tools and 3rd party cybersecurity vendors have been innovating to address the obvious gaps in cybersecurity.
- Meanwhile, standards bodies and regulators have kept up the pressure for companies to do the right thing when it comes to cloud security giving rise to a steadily growing momentum of companies living up to their part of AWS shared responsibility.
- High-profile breaches, especially stemming from misconfigured services like S3 buckets or exposed APIs, have emphasised the need for shared responsibility.
- AWS does provide a rich set of security-focused tools, but ultimately securing an organization's environment is company's responsibility.
- Amazon GuardDuty, WAF, Shield, and SSM Patch Manager are some of AWS's tools that help businesses manage their security posture.
- AWS has built a robust network of partners and vendors, enabling businesses to leverage specialized solutions tailored to their unique needs.
- Compliance will shift from being a competitive advantage to a baseline expectation and compliance requirements directly into infrastructure and software development lifecycle will become essential.
- Strengthening security needs to be embedded across operations and championed by management to be truly effective as it is a 'must-have' today.
- Nimbus Stack is a DevOps consultancy specialising in AWS security and excels in identifying potential threats and mitigating them, making compliance a critical factor for businesses aiming to grow and remain credible in the market.

Extreme Networks rolls out its platform to simplify network operations
- Networking complexity is causing problems for businesses including blind spots, unplanned downtime, and security breaches. Extreme Networks has announced the launch of its Extreme Platform ONE connectivity platform that aims to combat this increasing complexity by using AI. The platform combines data from networks, security tools, and third parties such as Intel and Microsoft, and delivers conversational AI and autonomous networking. The platform is flexible enough to serve multiple audiences and includes a dashboard that shows all relevant financial information.
- Extreme Platform ONE includes AI capabilities that help troubleshoot complicated networking issues, particularly Wi-Fi problems, which are the hardest to solve. An AI Policy Assistant can be used for policy administration, which is necessary but time-consuming and error-prone. The concept of the network platform has been around for years but has yet to catch on, and Extreme officials said that AI makes the platform's value proposition compelling today.
- Extreme Networks is a rollup of many network vendors, including Enterasys, Brocade, Avaya Networking, and Motorola/Zebra. The company implemented “Universal Hardware,” which lets customers choose between different operating systems. With Extreme Platform ONE, the company aims to address network issues at every step of the lifecycle, from planning to optimization and security.
- Extreme Platform ONE is comprised of several acquisitions and represents years of work. The purchase of Aerohive brought the company the cloud back end that is being leveraged in the current platform launch. Other vendors have followed the platform path, but Extreme CEO Nabil Bukhari believes that AI is more than a troubleshooting tool. The inclusion of AI as a core function of the platform is Extreme's differentiator.
- Extreme Platform ONE is designed to deliver the best insights, which requires a single set of data. For most companies, AI for operations is the way forward, and that will push more companies toward a platform approach. Extreme's approach is to use AI to address issues at every stage of the network lifecycle.
- Zeus Kerravala wrote the original article for SiliconANGLE. Extreme Platform ONE is well-timed with the current AI wave as it uses AI as a core function of the platform instead of just a troubleshooting tool. The platform aims to automate many of the complex tasks associated with operating and securing a network.
