  • Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Market Research Report - Global Forecast Until 2027
    Report Information More information from: https://www.marketresearchfuture.com/reports/4545 Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) Market Research Report - Global Forecast until 2027 Report / Search Code: MRFR/ICT/3126-CR Publish Date: July, 2020 Request Sample Price 1-user PDF : $ 4450.0 Enterprise PDF : $ 6250.0 Description: Market Snapshot Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) is produced from publicly available information, is collected, analyzed, and disseminated on time to an appropriate audience, and addresses a specific intelligence requirement. It is not limited to what can be found using Google or other search engines, although the open web is an essential component. According to MRFR analysis, the global OSINT market is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period. The increased availability of open-source data coupled with rising cyber threats, terrorism, and other illegal practices are some of the factors driving the growth of the market. However, the large volume of open-source information available could hinder the growth of this market in the future. OSINT relies on open-source data, which is raw, noisy, and unstructured. It is accessible and can be retrieved and modified legally. Increased availability of public data is a driving force for the open-source intelligence systems to carry out operations. The data is available from several sources like social media, print media, digital media, articles, blog publications, online forums, videos, government reports, telephone directories, press conferences, journals, academic research papers, financial databases, patents, dissertations, and newsletters. This data is openly available and legal to use. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube lets us access the hobbies, location, working status, community, and other raw data, which is beneficial for the government security agencies to keep track of the activities happening across the globe.

  • Unix to Linux Migration
    UNIX TO LINUX MIGRATION RICHARD KEECH ABSTRACT This paper aims to show the benefits of choosing Linux and migrating existing UNIX environments to the Linux platform. This applies in particular to migrations from RISC-based platforms. It also shows the extent to which Linux is now a trusted, mainstream platform and how any technical risks associated with migrations can be mitigated. This paper addresses a technical audience. www.redhat.com UNIX to Linux migration | Richard Keech TABLE OF CONTENTS AIMS Page 3 INTRODUCTION TO LINUX Page 3 OpEN SOURCE AND LINUX Page 4 RED HAT ENTErprISE LINUX Page 5 UNIX VS LINUX Page 8 TrENDS Page 9 Server Virtualization Page 9 Clustering Page 10 Rapid provisioning and appliance OS Page 10 Instrumentation and debugging Page 10 MIGRATION CONSIDERATIONS Page 11 Qualify the stack Page 11 Porting Page 12 Training Page 12 Prepare a Linux standard build Page 12 Pilot deployment Page 13 CONCLUSIONS Page 13 REFERENCES Page 14 2 www.redhat.com UNIX to Linux migration | Richard Keech AIMS This paper aims to give an introduction to Linux for the technically inclined and educated reader at a level that can allow proper comparisons with UNIX. The paper provides an outline of the key considerations in selecting Linux and migrating from UNIX to Red Hat Enterprise Linux. The intended audience of this paper is enterprise infrastructure architects. INTRODUCTION TO LINUX Benefits. The Linux platform offers a low-risk, robust, and value-for-money alternative to traditional UNIX. Linux is now sufficiently mature enough to handle the most demanding workloads at a much lower cost than proprietary UNIX offerings.
