Container Security 101 UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS OF SECURING CONTAINERS

By now it’s apparent to cybersecurity teams everywhere that the proverbial container genie is out of the bottle. Developers have widely embraced containers because they make building and deploying so- called cloud native applications simpler than ever. Not only do containers eliminate much of the friction typically associated with moving application code from testing through to production, application code packaged up as containers can also run anywhere. All the dependencies associated with any application are included within the containerized ...more

THE STATE OF CLOUD NATIVE SECURTIY

Today, the focus is less on the hardware underlying computing and more on the application itself – the thing that delivers actual value. We abstract computing away from the hardware as much as possible, in myriad ways: the concept of the cloud itself, as well as the specific technologies for operating in the cloud, such as virtual machines (VMs), infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), containers, managed container services such as Kubernetes and more. As we adopt all these enabling technologies, we introduce a new ...more

As the demand for lightweight and composite materials continues to grow, impact testing is becoming more and more critical to success in design and manufacturing. But how do you ensure that added testing requirements don’t translate into downtime and disruption to just-in-time workflows in automotive and aerospace? This guide will give materials engineers and scientists working in these industries valuable insight into the latest drop weight impact testing methods and technology. It will provide you with useful guidance on how to make compo ...more

Electrifying a Movement: Connectivity for electric vehicle charging, energy storage, and controlled power management

Handheld, battery-powered devices are pervasive in our daily lives. Cell phones, tablets, laptops, leaf blowers, webcams, and drones (to name a few examples) are a part of everything we do. What once seemed like magic, are now common and ordinary. These devices all have several things in common: 1. they need to be charged quickly and conveniently; 2. they need to efficiently and safely store energy in a battery; and 3. they need to operate and function effectively and intelligently. The same story holds true for Battery Electric Vehicle ...more

Thermal Modeling for High Power Charging (HPC) of Electric Vehicles

Powertrain electrification, automation and increasing autonomy and the emergence of new mobility business models are the three dominant worldwide trends that are shaping the transformation to the next generation of mobility. These trends will have a profound impact on the electrical power and electronic architectures (E/E architecture) of future vehicles. The next generation of vehicles will generate, process and communicate much more data than current vehicles. Wireless networking via mobile technologies (e.g. 5G, V2X) enables communication ...more

BCON+ Touch-safe bolt termination for traction batteries

TE Connectivity’s new BCON+ high voltage connection system is a versatile, compact, robust, and touch-safe solution for interconnecting cell modules inside a traction battery and high voltage connection points outside the battery. The BCON+ connection system combines the advantages of solid steel-to-steel bolt termination with the extremely low contact resistance of copper contact elements. The system is touchsafe in unmated and mated condition. It flexibly interconnects with a large number of available conductors and cross-sections. The ...more

The State of Remote Working

Prior to COVID-19, most organizations had remote work capabilities in place. But, the pandemic has caused even the most-prepared IT leaders to re-evaluate their readiness to support remote work, at scale. To gain insights into the IT capabilities necessary to ensure business continuity and workforce productivity, now and for the “next norm”, we conducted a TechValidate1 survey to our customer base in April 2020. Here’s what we learned: ...more
