What is a digital twin? A real-time, virtual representation
Digital twin definition
Digital twins are real-time, virtual representations of objects, processes, and systems. While digital twins can represent purely digital things, they most frequently serve as a bridge between the physical and digital domains. For example, a digital twin could provide a digital view of the operations of a factory, communications network, or the flow of packages through a logistics system.
“The implementation of a digital twin is an encapsulated software object or model that mirrors a unique physical object, process, organization, person, or other abstraction,” according to Gartner. “Data from multiple digital twins can be aggregated for a composite view across a number of real-world entities, such as a power plant or a city, and their related processes.”

8 myths about IT veterans looking for new work
A common misconception about tech workers of a certain vintage is that they’re caught in the past and either overqualified or unable to adapt to future technology.

For seasoned professionals looking for jobs — or looking to shake up their careers — tech leaders say to take heart: Experience, soft skills, and other factors that only come from time on the job mean they’re in demand in one of the tightest job markets in recent history.

10 hottest IT certifications today
The COVID-19 pandemic has seen businesses accelerating digital transformation strategies faster than originally planned. But the ongoing IT skills gap has complicated progress, with more than half of IT decision-makers reporting that hiring for essential IT positions is “somewhat difficult or extremely difficult,” according to the Global Knowledge 2021 IT Skills and Salary report.
To bridge this gap, employers and job seekers alike are leaning on certifications, whether to train up existing staff or to provide evidence of skills in high demand. Ninety-two percent of more than 9,300 IT professionals surveyed by Global Knowledge report holding at least one certification — a 5% increase over last year’s report. Meanwhile, 64% of IT decision-makers contend that certified employees bring $10,000 or more of additional value over their non-certified counterparts.

BrandPost: Supporting Open Source Software in IT Environments
Any misgivings enterprises may have once had about adopting open source software for critical corporate functions is long gone. Studies show that over 90% of IT leaders consider open source software “strategically important” and that more than 87% of enterprises are running applications today that are open source. Enterprises embark on open source journeys – creating data pipelines with Splunk, using MuleSoft to connect applications, orchestrating workloads using containers – because they want to take advantage of open source software’s flexibility, shareability, and portability.

BrandPost: A Look Back at the State of Cloud (In)Security in 2021
Over the last two years, organizations have significantly accelerated their shift to the cloud. IT teams that hadn’t already started this process by 2020 were kickstarted by the global pandemic when they suddenly found themselves needing to support a remote workforce. This trend only increased in 2021 as more and more companies and employees realized the scale, performance, and flexibility of cloud computing.
This transformation has come with its own set of challenges, especially around security. Cloud security is its own beast: you can’t just lift and shift on-premises technologies and policies and expect that they will work — at least not well. Instead, there’s a new set of best practices that must be followed around access control, monitoring, attack surface management, encryption, and more. Unfortunately, many organizations are immature in this area, leaving them vulnerable.

BrandPost: Holiday Shoppers Once Again Scrooged By Cyberattacks
The holidays are here, and along with the eggnog and tacky sweaters comes the annual spike in phishing, scam, and card skimmer attacks targeting seasonal shoppers – particularly during the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping frenzies.
Recently, the Zscaler ThreatLabz research team observed lots of malicious activity: some attackers luring victims with emails that offered heavy discounts but led to phishing pages; others injecting malicious code into e-commerce websites to steal credit card information. Zscaler also saw a considerable spike generally in online shopping transactions during this period.
This write-up will explain the e-commerce traffic trends and associated cyberattacks that ThreatLabz observed.

3 steps to better data center risk management
Half a decade ago, in the wake of the rise of cloud computing, some IT evangelists, CIOs, and large tech research firms foretold the imminent death of the data center as we know it. My co-columnist at CIO.com Mark Settle at the time advised caution in writing off data centers and envisaged how they would continue to grow based on the evolution of – you guessed it – data.
Today, data centers continue to not just survive but thrive alongside hybrid and multicloud systems in new avatars such as on-prem as a service. Not just that, data centers are poised to meet the emerging demand for services related to emerging tech such as edge computing, IoT, and 5G.

BrandPost: The Power of Composability for Your Organization: 5 Use Cases
If you’ve been following my blogs lately, you’ll see I have been talking a lot about composability. In short, composability is the concept of using modular technologies to autonomously build your own custom, flexible products, and services. Unlike proprietary, monolithic software – which tethers you to a legacy vendor’s roadmap – you can move more quickly through discovery and gain the agility needed to continually evolve and optimize experiences.
But what do these experiences look like? How can composability be used to create more value for those who have stake in your business? If you haven’t yet, I recommend reading the first and second blogs in this series to gain a better understanding of the evolution from monolithic software and what composability means. With that, let’s look at some valuable use cases.
