Spotlight: Trellix's Best Performing Technology

Organisations find themselves unable to handle the dynamic and ever-changing threats. To keep pace with these dynamic attacks and to ensure greater visibility, control and ultimate peace of mind, organisations are on the lookout for more centralised visibility and quick resolution of their security issues. We must unleash smart and adaptive capabilities inherited from artificial intelligence and machine learning. New capabilities must touch all aspects of our architecture, process and skills. With the growing sophistication of threats, it’s easy to see why so many businesses are vulnerable to attacks and also why we have to shift our thinking, our approach …

Maximising Innovation & IT initiatives to prepare the way for better citizen outcomes

A practical example of the impact of data and digital comes from the management of and response to COVID-19. WA, like all jurisdictions, has a vaccine and check-in app. In fact, WA has two government-sanctioned apps. Either way, they have “2.2 million registered users. For context, there are about 2.6 million Western Australians, and we are a state that basically hasn’t had COVID-19 for two years.” No other service or program has been able to interact with nearly 85% of the population. “There’s no way we could have had that reach with face-to-face engagement or with a policy change unless …

Spotlight Interview - Health and Human Services ANZ Q1 National Insights

As we work with healthcare organisations around the world, we’re seeing a bigger push towards better analytics, better insights and more interest and use of AI/ML and NLP. While most provider organisations, even the larger ones, but especially those in the community, don’t have teams of data scientists to build complex AI models, what we are seeing is more useful predictive analytics, purpose-built models to optimise and make areas of the healthcare workflow more efficient. Interoperability has been top of mind for a very long time. While more and more technology vendors are bringing their solutions into more open standards …

Spotlight Interview: Data Management & Analytics Roadshow 2022

The general trend we are seeing in the industry is toward the integration of multiple different concepts and technologies to create an accurate picture of the entirety of an organisation's data landscape. Two prominent examples are the data fabric and data mesh architectures. In both cases, there is an emphasis on automation around metadata management, where metadata is viewed as “fuel” for AI-driven decision-making around automated data ops. As Data Fabric matures, we see that metadata management will require big updates on the conceptual level. To properly employ AI to drive data management tasks, metadata management solutions will have to …

Spotlight: Tap into Graph Technologies with Neo4j

We’re seeing very strong demand for knowledge graphs which are essentially an interconnected dataset enriched with meaning, and primed for complex decision making As complex data volumes grow, the types and composition of problems become very varied - an issue government departments and agencies (and the private sector) continue to grapple with.

Strategic Workplace Wellness

The importance of looking after employee’s mental health The wellbeing of employees, and particularly their mental health, has been put into the spotlight since the beginning of the pandemic. In fact, since many offices closed and remote work became the norm for some, it has become such a big issue that governments at all levels are investing millions of dollars to ensure that employees are looked after, whilst effects of lockdowns and workplace restrictions might take years to be fully realised. The focus is largely on managers – though available for all – because “a Deloitte survey found that 97% …
