Google Cloud and Boeing Collaborate to Enhance Aerospace Industry

Posted on by admin

Google Cloud and Boeing have collaborated to support Boeing’s cloud transformation by transferring tons of applications over several market segments and aerospace technologies to Google Cloud. Boeing will be able to overcome issues related to traditional on-premises IT deployments by leveraging the cloud’s versatility, as well as Google Cloud’s data analytics and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) technologies’ simplicity of use and innovation.

CEO of Google Cloud, Thomas Kurian stated, “Boeing is a global aerospace icon, and we’re proud to partner and apply the best of Google Cloud’s capabilities, including AI, data analytics, and clean infrastructure. We look forward to working together to transform Boeing’s business and help them continue to build innovative aerospace services that help airlines run efficiently and in an environmentally friendly way.”

Boeing’s aerospace product software and internal developers will be able to design and deploy apps and solutions across the organization to solve problems, create new digital products, and support its business partners because of the partnership. Boeing application owners will be able to use Google Cloud’s automation to speed up the provisioning of services for projects. Developers will also be able to use new data analytics and AI/ML capabilities for greater business effect, such as providing insights that can help Boeing enhance its airplane manufacturing efficiency.

Boeing’s chief information officer and senior vice president of Information, Technology & Data Analytics, Susan Doniz commented, “Today’s announcement represents a significant investment in Boeing’s digital future. Google Cloud will help us modernize our applications; empower our people with the latest technology, tools, and expertise; and continuously innovate with rapid software changes. With Google Cloud’s years of cloud leadership, data analytics, and AI/ML experience, we are looking forward to driving advanced digital aerospace solutions together.”

Boeing will deploy apps and workloads in Google Cloud areas with the lowest carbon footprint, in keeping with the company’s objective to achieve net-zero emissions. Google Cloud uses renewable energy to power all cloud workloads, making it the cleanest cloud in the business. When customers such as Boeing migrate an application from a self-managed data center or collocation facility to Google Cloud, the net operating expenditures are zero.

The AWS Marketplace has the Menlo Security Cloud Security Platform!

Posted on by admin

According to Menlo Security, the Menlo Cloud Security Platform is now available in the AWS Marketplace, a leader in cloud security. Menlo Security’s isolation-powered platform, which eliminates malware threats, connects users to enterprise applications from anywhere, and scales elastically to match user demand, is now available to Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers. 

Using yesterday’s outdated security tools to detect and respond to today’s sophisticated attacks is ineffective. The Menlo Cloud Security Platform, which is driven by a unique Isolation CoreTM, protects workers from malware risks without affecting the user experience. 

The browser has swiftly become the major attack surface for threat actors, ransomware, and other threats, with 75 percent of work done on it every day. As identified by Menlo Security, highly Evasive Adaptive Threats (HEAT) are a new breed of cyberattack that bypass existing security defenses. HEAT attacks are a type of cyber-attack that uses web browsers as the attack vector and use strategies to circumvent detection by various levels in today’s security stacks, such as firewalls, Secure Web Gateways, sandbox analysis, URL reputation, and phishing detection.  

Their strategic head stated that the main goal is to ensure that their partners and customers can access and deploy the Menlo Security cloud security solution on their terms and on their timeline.

They can also use BigQuery ML and Vertex AI to do predictable analysis and solve forecasting demands related to product distribution and refilling, variety editing, and other characteristics using machine learning (ML) models.

The alliance intends to assist traders in capturing omnichannel revenue growth by enhancing sales and obtaining cellular trading capabilities.

The company has previously used Google’s Kubernetes Engine to help shops cope with the spike in e-commerce users over the holiday season.
