    System administration , or CNC in JDE speak, is a high demand, low supply skill set. Sometimes it feels like a finite group of individuals with very few new additions. So traditionally when a business replaces or adds to their CNC Administration skill sets they really only have three choices: Hire a full-time CNC as an employee. Hire an independent contractor or consultant for a finite period. Outsource all or a subset of CNC need to a Managed Service Provider. All three are resource-based types of choices. There may be situations where any of the three are valid options. However, there will be situations where none are good options. Over the last five years, the term "as-a-service" has become more popular. Many companies are moving away from a resource-based or ownership model to a service-based model for infrastructure (IaaS), software(SaaS) and platforms (PaaS). All involve physical hardware or digital software. The next wave will be companies acquiring Lower co...

Cross-site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) are very common client-site attacks against web applications. While XSS execute scripts in the victim’s machine to gain users privileges the CSRF forge request on the victim’s behalf. It’s safe to say that XSS exploits the browser trust in a legit website while CSRF takes advantage of the website’s trust on the user’s browser. What is a cross-site request? Cross-site requests are meant to make websites dynamic such that websites can embed content from other pages. For example, online advertisements use cross-site requests to display images from Amazon, eBay, or other shopping sites. How does CSRF work? CSRF is a type of malicious exploit that forges and sends an HTTP request to a target website through the user machine. An open session on the target website is needed to perform this attack, such that the forget request is sent along with the session cookie. The HTTP request can be trigger using HTML tags or javasc...

Often, enterprises feel that cybersecurity detracts and disrupts their workflows, leading them to fail to protect their business. Let's take a look at some of the most common ERP system security issues so that if anything happens, you know how to keep your ERP and the data within it protected and well maintained.

Over the past year, the Internet of Things (IoT) has expedited magnificently and is spanning for massive use of IoT devices around the world. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a term used to describe the continually growing network of internet-connected electronic devices that are in operation around the world today. Some of the few examples are Smart RFID tags, home appliances, Amazon’s Alexa, Google assistant and industrial sensors, and many more.

Basically, the data is transmitted from a device to a gathering point where the data is analyzed in data centers or the cloud.

It is believed that by the end of 2025, there is an estimation of revenue generation - $1.6 trillion by the internet of things (IoT). IoT touches the broader network and therefore, there are many security challenges. Hence, all those devices need to be configured, auth...

As you might expect, an ERP system is a complex piece of software, and  JD Edwards Software is no exception. Installing, configuring, populating the master data (such as customers, vendors, and supplies), testing it, and training the users all take a significant amount of time and resources. Furthermore, almost every company has at least one critical business process; supporting those processes would almost probably demand some ERP software customization, adding to the implementation's complexity and effort.
