The rise of Haas and IaaS and their impacts on data security

The rise of HaaS and IaaS in 2019 will shed light on a central insecurity in PaaS cloud strategy, as the staff controlling cloud environments have access to the information and materials stored and used in the cloud.

    What every aspiring data scientist needs to know about networking

    A vastly disproportionate number of hires are the result of referrals from employees who already work at a company. So your best way in, nine times out of ten, will be through a relationship with someone who works at your target company, rather than a generic channel, like a jobs board. Relationships are great because they give you a signal boost, but they also make it much more likely that you’ll get feedback on your application. But how do you build meaningful relationships with established data scientists?
