For the kind introduction actually two more companies actually, but the other ones are in offense, so they're not supposed to be Okay, yeah any questions where'd you get the time I Wonder to Anyhow, so two apologies up front first of all my assistant didn't get a hold of me for two weeks So he had to come up with a title. I would have chosen a different one Somehow I'm also talking about bridging technology and society But you'll see what the main talk will be about science strategic cyber security and defense in the military area And the second apology is that I didn't brought the wrong adapters So I can't show you a sexy prezi presentation, but this is a PDF. I just took from the prezi So I have to live with it. I'll try to make it up to make up for it by entertaining First of all, we have to say that the the internet by now and computers are really absolutely everywhere You look around in room you have a professional you find easily in this room a bunch of computers the cameras have computers in there Bunch of other machines have computers by now And it gets worse and worse the more technologized things are and it's really every everywhere we have computers and unfortunately We have to say and that all these computers and are basically castes of sands because from a security point of view It got a bit harder, but it's still the basic truth that everything is heck It's not not just not to say that everything is easily heckable. That's a completely different story It's very very hard right now to hack certain things Like the black market prices although even though the white market prices for this thing here If you want a full chain what we call a full chain in the offense market An entire attack to attack an iPhone for remotely without having the user interact with any stupid cat pictures Is 2 million right now for Android is 2.5 million euros if you want to buy something like that is very hard to get So you always get it. It's no no problem, but it's getting more difficult and more expensive Unfortunately, however, most of the stuff that's just floating around that's this only up the very high prices only apply to mobile phones Those are the best protected devices. We have in the whole ecosystem But everything else and unfortunately including cars nuclear power plants weapons systems fighter jets is super heckable It's very easy to get in there never takes more than three to five days to Hack these things and do fun stuff So unfortunately everything is heckable and unfortunately we have to say that we have quite a few takers on on this Hackability of our society. So the one thing you will have heard about is industrial espionage is one of the core problems in Germany Germany because it costs us a ton of money The Chinese are at the forefront of this of course in Germany. We always catch Chinese spies every week On the other hand, we have to say that it's a big trend in the offense industry to offer something that is called refactoring refactoring By now is a service that offense companies offer If you have a cyber attack and you want to do industrial espionage in Germany, for example And to find the new blueprints of a car Then you can give your cyber attack to a refactoring company and the refactoring company will make it look a hundred percent as if it's from China So the Germans think are stupid Chinese again And they stop looking because it has an advantage They don't look behind that if they see the Chinese what they expect so that they're not asking any more questions Which is nice for you if you're a france, for example Not put your fingers in any direction However, we have industrial espionage all over the place. Everybody's doing it The Germans unfortunately are not doing it because Germans are very nice Pretty much everybody else is doing it unfortunately and We're having a bunch of groups by now Which have professionalized these are the professional groups on industrial espionage, which have very clear methodologies Technologies they use bunch of target ranges, but then again It's very easy to mimic this of these groups as well. So you never really know if it's actually the group or just somebody trying to mimic them And there's also some surprising trends every now and then in industrial espionage this for example here has Taken some people by surprise that one of the core areas right now, especially of Chinese industrial espionage is law firms It's not the the factories anymore I mean they're doing the factory as well But they're also looking at law firms and the reason why they're doing that is because they want to subvert merger and acquisition processes And they're all buying scheme buying companies buying land buying real estate They usually tend to hack the law firms involved if there are other bidders to see what the other bidders are bidding and to go Higher of just a bit higher than that. So that's how they win all these bits They're not that smart actually in strategy or bidding, but they simply hack their adversaries So that's an industry espionage Apart from that, what's more worrisome right now in Germany is industrial sabotage. So industrial sabotage happens in a bunch of different ways First of all, we have the blackmailing thing that's still going on mostly in the smaller medium enterprise segment in Germany Where hard drives are being encrypted and you have to pay bitcoins to get them back again But there's also some more professional actors So one thing that is not well known about North Korea We know that North Korea has very capable hackers and they started hacking in 86 when they got a helpful aid program from China where the Chinese were inviting them to Shenzhen What's are still the base of operations for the North Korean hackers and they have some got some very good education And the way they're using it is quite funny The one way they're using it is to put pressure on South Korea and some critical infrastructure is banking and things like that Just to show that they're capable of doing this and the North South Korea should keep quiet Military signaling classic and the other interesting thing that how they're using is is that they're doing ransomware campaigns all over the world to undergo sanctions Due to the economic sanctions. There's no money in the country So one way to make money is to become a cyber criminal and so many of these I don't know if any of you have had this problem of encrypted hard drives and then sending money Bitcoin to somewhere if you had you my hair may have financed North Korea And in part also North Korea's nuclear weapons program because a lot of money for the nuclear weapons program is coming from ransomware campaigns in the West Think about it So another funny story that happened just to show you how bad and evil these things can be is with pacemakers so pacemakers had a sad history with cyber security already back in 2007 or something When there was a funny thing big Cheney watched the series homeland and then in homeland The vice president whom he could identify with that the moment because he was a vice president Was being hacked by a terrorist that the pacemaker was hacked and was killed by a terrorist by hacking the pacemaker in homeland And he got scared because he had a pacemaker. He was a vice president So he called NSA and asked them if they could hack his heart and they did a check and they said yes We can hack your heart and we can kill you.   There's no discussion about that But they didn't and surprisingly last year some some cyber boards hacking company Took a look at pacemakers and just scanned for common vulnerabilities You could use to hack these things again in the six There's only six big brands with that constitute more than 90% of the market and they had over 8,600 Easily find too easy to find vulnerabilities in these things So that was a big scare But then this one problem in cyber security if you're just pushing out numbers like that usually nothing happens Everybody's scared and then committees are being drawn together working groups and governments and they sit together for years and years nothing happens and everybody's happy and This time however something else happened and this this company Michelle Fox another hacking company Published a detailed report on some of these vulnerabilities how you can use them to actually kill a patient Which was really a how to report on how to kill people using one of the vulnerabilities Which in a way was good because that company with these vulnerabilities was absolutely forced to do something very quick So they took a look at the vulnerabilities. They delivered patches And then they had they recalled the pacemakers which were built into patients, which was not so nice for a patient But unfortunately they could be patched with a near fields device And so they didn't have to remove it and then afterwards of course people were asking why why were these hackers doing that? It's completely irresponsible and it turned out They were smart enough to team up with an investor who was betting on falling stocks of the pacemaker company Which is something that happened and which made them very rich and the funny thing about this story is that everything about that was legal Now nobody did anything illegal This is it's legal to test devices for security vulnerabilities legal to publish them And of course is legal to bet on falling stocks. So this is a nice kind of So the most profitable thing we could possibly do is if you're interested in joining me Great is with Airplanes Airplanes have the problem that they It's basically just boring and ever as you know that and then they have the problem that they share a large libraries of software and If you find one critical buck in one of those libraries then all boring or all ever's of a certain brand are grounded Because they're not allowed them safety restrictions are very strict there and for airplanes Because they're not allowed to fly unless this thing is patched and not just unless this thing is patched But unless the entire airplane has undergone the full cycle of testing which takes one and a half years So in other words if you find a vulnerability in Boeing or in Airbus and you publish it Then this particular kind of Airbus or Boeing is being grounded for one and a half years at least and of course You can imagine what that does to the stock horse of the company Especially if you're looking at a very big commercial like the a320 or the Boeing 77 So that would be a fun thing to earn money And we're also looking at strategic sabotage, which is also something that's going on It's not just a commercial sabotage But also all sorts of military actors right now are sabotaging the power grid They're they're planting sabotage attacks in petrochemical areas, which was one thing The German industry very scared because it was German components in German petrochemical installations in Saudi Arabia Which were being attacked and in this case with the petrochemical areas the attack was particularly Scary because it switched off the safety switches which they have in the in the industrial environment So the safety switches aren't charged job Cooling the thing down if something bad happens so it doesn't explode So in this case if they would have carried delivered another payloads onto this attack Which would have caused things to heat up there would be a giant hole in Saudi Arabia right now because there would have been nothing That would have stopped this cyber attack from creating a giant Yes, and there's also some More scary stuff that's going on Some because some of those militaries were a bit more daring or stupid I also think that maybe they can hack nuclear weapon systems as well. That could be fun and Unfortunately, that's a bit scary because as a hacker you never really know what's happening with the heck I mean we can have some predictions and a lot of testing and simulation so on so forth But you can never tell a hundred percent especially not with an adversaries Nuclear arm system because that's highly secret and you don't know everything about it You don't know which kinds of interactions may come into place So it's a very very stupid idea to try to hack nuclear weapons But we're still having a bunch of militaries trying to do that North Korea is trying to do it to South Korea and South Korea is trying to do it You're not here right now and we heard rumors that the Pakistanis and the Indians are also interested in the idea I don't know how interested and if they're stupid enough to go there But we have to assume the worst Yes in real strategic scenarios these attacks are then frequently combined with information operations other measures like hacks on Voting systems or propaganda that's being you may have heard the news of today that Russia is now shutting off its own internet So it has a hundred percent control of everything which China has done a couple of years already But we're seeing in some real-world scenarios Good example was Ukraine although I think by now a lot of people have learned from Ukraine You would do smarter things than that, but we have seen a bunch of Information operations running alongside the entire Ukraine campaign were actually the internet was Cut off from the West so that they could only run through a Russian servers and everything was dominated by Russian propaganda They were coming out of the whole troll factories were in the censorship was going on and they had activists from anonymous which were Roaming the all sorts all parts of the internet saying I'll find a Russia is liberating those poor Ukrainians and stupid NATO And what's the language of activists? And In addition to that what what the Russian the Russians are very very clausovitzian. I don't know who's read clausovitz. You were German It's always good and when you have German generals and we have to mention clausovitz The Russians are actually more clausovitzians than the Germans because they Really taken a lot of this the lessons to heart and one thing that they think is very important is that When you're going to war or when you have anything you do with security policy is just creating a narrative You're creating a story And then they always tend to look at campaigns They have from this point of view of creating a story about what Russia is doing who Russia is and how this this Transports into policy or political interests and in this case We had a bunch of supporting hacks that they were doing just to support the narrative The narrative in this case of course was that Ukraine can't rely on NATO and nobody can rely on NATO in fact I mean still the main interest of Russia to break NATO apart So they did some hacks on the European Commission They did some hacks on NATO to slow down responses from from these institutions alongside the campaign They had the voting Commission in Ukraine in May 2014 Which also gave them an opportunity to say in the Russian media That the votes was votes were hacked and nobody would have voted for these stupid Ukrainian democratic governments They all wanted to go to Russia and They also cut the hacked power plant in Western Ukraine just to show show some muscle and do some military signals very classic Russian move and Then of course they also did a lot of surveillance So they did a lot of mobile phone surveillance to find and a lot of internet surveillance to find potential opposition forces In the areas they were controlling and they had a very funny approach to solving this problem because they didn't have the money or the capabilities to hack all the All the very good encryption on some of the better smartphones and the solution they had was that they would Just simply ask the people to show their smartphones in the street and if it was one they couldn't hack They would just confiscate it. So that was a very simple solution to undergo cryptographic problems So But that was Ukraine apart from that we're also looking at some worst-case scenarios that we're having I mean the attacking nukes is already pretty much worst case But we're having two other worst-case scenarios where we've been very close already in two cases The one is the loss or the mass manipulation of critical business data SAP for example is a very open Target for something like that We've seen attacks in a while where you could basically kill any SAP of any fortune 500 company overnight and The damages in real life are something we had one company that had 22 million US dollars per minute SAP is not working and If it's finally gone and all your business data are gone You can just close the doors and go home because and that applies to any sort of very big large enterprise So that would be something in an extinction event other very critical worst-case scenarios would be what we call safety critical fleet attacks That is if you're not just attacking one petrochemical plan But if you were taking a thousand which is also very easily possible sometimes Harder to attack one just one then attacking a thousand at once and the same applies to attacking 50,000 cars or something like that and then you have a massive amount of dead people So those are just some of the scenarios one question of course is why is all this possible? Basically, the problem is that what we have is old IT what we call old IT the common legacy IT is basically broken full of vulnerabilities full of structural problems the technical complexity is much so much too high it grows Ever since they have more control of the architecture or the periphery of the architecture anymore This the suppliers apart from the mobile phone guys They did a very good job over the last years to harden the architectures, but it's only only applying to The core of the telephone again if you're looking at that one hack. What's that? For example, what's app hacks right now? I believe are very low price 80,000 or something sell very badly and Yeah, so unfortunately, it's With the kind of IT that we designed over the last 40 50 years It's very easy to get in there and to do certain things and it's a problem. That's quite structural and very hard to To address on a technical level So it's basically not not so long technical level and then the other problem is that the entire problem at large is Extremely difficult. So if you're really looking at the the cyber security problem at large and you know all this different dimensions like the Regulatory aspect the industrial aspect the IT security industry problems of the IT security industry problems of the tech industry Trying to implement cyber security problems Structure problems of the big IT vendors all this kind of stuff and all the stuff you would require to do to solve Just one little vertical of this problem. It's so complex that nobody's competent of doing it at all So I'll be honest here if we're among experts We just had a session like that with German insurance companies with some of the top worldwide leading cyber experts at a table and The first thing we agreed of them is that each of us only understands maximum 30% problem Because it's so difficult Yeah, so that's making things very difficult and One area where this is surprisingly bad and it's just something I want to Point your attention to is in the western militaries So this is a sort of a new problem because you would always think that are finding the good guys from Pentagon or DARPA They will know what to do and then they have the money and the understanding and the power to Get on a tough security problem and actually find out what you can do about it But you're wrong. They're there is surprisingly bad Many different respects. So I know we all like Britain's here so I brought an example from from the UK and one example was that That's actually plaguing the whole defense industry that they're based on old IT, which is very easily attacked So this is something you can easily remote control from from from your coast if you're seeing it to run by New coast you can just hack it a little and play around with it and But this is not only happening in the UK is also happening in the Pentagon Also from last year they made an assessment of all the weapon systems which were being produced by the defense contractors And they're all super vulnerable for cyber attacks, which is pretty bad because you can just simply hack into these things and then remote control the Predator drone and the hellfire missiles and Patriot missiles and everything. So it's really quite an open talk And One of the main reasons why this is the case is that militaries as to in as much as defense contractors and in general I mean, this is a problem. We have and leave and the higher deep tech startup field The doing your own startup or working in a start of an environment where you're earning a lot of money You're having nice working conditions.  So nobody's going there None of the good cyber experts is going voluntarily to to where they should be going to to the militaries or to the intelligence services So they're constantly out of talent constantly. Oh, it's a very very bad situation You have I cannot tell you the numbers because that's super secret because it's so super embarrassing and The surprisingly many of the offense institutions are very good at defense as well So NSA loses all of its weapons on a regular basis because they're being hacked because they're having insiders and upset issues and whatnot So on a very regular basis the Russians get all the good stuff from NSA But unfortunately NSA is not getting the good stuff on the Russians. So that's an asymmetric situation on the other hand Unfortunately China and Russia are very good at this because China and Russia don't have to compete with the private sector for talent If you're a good hacker and an amazing AI developer or whatever You don't get a choice to open up a startup or to work for Amazon when you're in Moscow or in paper in Beijing You have to work for the government. It's no no discussion about that You're getting still a decent salary in comparison to other government entities, but you have to work for the government Unfortunately, we have to say that the due to this the Russians and the Chinese are far ahead in the game especially in offense This was one recent example how this is a borax chip board and the tiny little speck You see there is a tiny little super tiny little espionage chip the Chinese planted on there Absolutely brilliant engineering was delivered to tons of companies and government institutions and took them years to find out what they did So this is just showing on what they're doing and the same is also happening now in AI because Russia and China of course are also getting all the good AI experts into the armed forces into the intelligence forces developing weapons systems Developing intelligence systems. Whereas all the brilliant good AI experts in the West are working for consumer electronics to make your experience with Ziri exciting so and unfortunately that creates a situation where we are having much better entertainment, but much very big geo strategic losses and comparison to Russia and China and unfortunately that is bad situation because Russia and China you may not know this but they are Trying to convince a lot of countries right now, especially in Africa and South America to turn more towards their model of government and That's sort of a hidden Game going on there in diplomacy, especially where we are trying to come to these countries and tell them hey democracy is great and Why don't you try that and they say well, what do we get in return and say I'm gender-draining maybe and Then the Russians and Chinese come and say hey totalitarianism is great You come from know everything everything's super secure. Don't worry and here's a bunch of tanks and some guns and infrastructure So we're not very good in the game So now finally to close up what are we doing at our institute? We're we're trying to because this is such a complex problem We're trying to question what is considered to be conventional wisdom in space and we're doing a lot of government consulting and also building technologies also Propose more disruptive solutions to basically shake the shake the boards of the game little So some some things that we're doing is We're trying to beat on standard IT security solutions and not just tell people that they're bad But also show them that they're bad. So we're hacking IT security solutions for example, it turns out that they're surprisingly bad at security themselves and it's sometimes easier to get into a Large system if you're hacking the firewall and not trying to hack some core system or something So that's something that we know we come out of something that we did in practice We came up with a buyer's guide for small and medium enterprises in Germany. We came up with criteria for insurance Which they're putting out now on industrial insurance that that had a big effect actually in Germany because we told the insurance companies If you really want to do industrial insurance for big production sites because they have to pay of course when the production side breaks apart and Then you have to have these I think it was a hundred and eighty criteria for IT security Fulfilled to this level so you can be sure that there's no cyber attack happening Which you cannot exclude from the contract because in retrospect you will not find out that it was a cyber attack and Due to that two two of the large German enterprises lost their industrial insurance because they were too too too speedy doing industry industry 4.0 things and They now have some shabby insurance The other thing we do is that we're trying to point out the market and policy failure We have a very strong market failure in this field is a standard egg aloft Lemon market problem and IT security because you cannot assess the quality of the product upfront you're just buying what is cheapest to get you through compliance and that's usually not a good choice and On top of that we're having policy failure because in such a case of a market is failing to deliver what it promises Then of course the standard rules that policy should come in there and regulate the market So it delivers something like a functioning seating belt. I'm not just a seat that looks like a seat belt But unfortunately policy makers are too stupid to understand the problem So they like to invite lobbyists to tell them what to do and that only deepens the market Another thing that we're doing is that we're having We do know of solutions actual solutions of the problem one solution for example is called high assurance cyber military systems That's a paradigm in research international research Which is building unhackable micro systems. It's they're not use of useful for a standard Laptop computers or something because those are too complex But something like a car or a sensor or a camera For for low low end stuff you can use an unhacker build something that's unhackable action So this is something a paradigm that we're pushing into the German industry right now successfully and then we plan to showcase more often and export more from the US is doing this by the way as well and They're currently giving a lot of money to Northrop Grumman and Ray Theon to develop these paradigms Yes, and then we're trying to come up with a new common sense. So just to Two examples out of that list the one the one Example is that software companies are not liable if their products are shabby and if they have tons of security vulnerabilities That's a friend of mine a hacker used to say the only two industries We're not liable for their products and call their customers users is the cocaine mafia and the software industry so So this is something that we pushed into the German government that liability gaps are not acceptable And there has to be software liability for very bad bucks and very bad software issues And another thing what we're trying to create more common sense is that safety and security must be on on par So if you're having Something like a pacemaker and you have a ton of safety engineering So the thing works under any given condition no matter what happens But absolutely no security and any teenager can hack into that and kill a thousand people a day Then that's just not acceptable. It's not not a proper common sense. So security has to be on the same level of safety So this is also some something where we're trying to develop a new common sense At least for the regulators Yes, so this is some stuff we do and That ends my talk and I'm open for questions


If a person just wants to opt out of that because they're just not happy with a marriage anymore, should they be able to do that? Should divorce be allowed? Yes, I'm in favor of divorce. I'm actually divorced. No fault divorce. Well, no fault divorce gets more into politics and financing. So I don't know necessarily which version of divorce is better, but since I'm still really good friends with my ex-wife, I should probably message her and see if she's okay with the way we got divorced. We don't seem to have a problem with it. Or for example, like within marriage, you're not allowed to sleep with whoever you want, right? My wife was allowed to sleep with whoever she wanted while we were together. But is that good? Is that a good thing? Did that help preserve your marriage? Yeah.


This is not a must win. The only must win was World War two Remember that boys. Remember that Viking CFM boys, we're getting a rematch against the Packers this time on the road This is one of the first games I played in CFM. It might have been the first and we got the dub with the Minnesota Vikings I've learned a lot about the mode and I hope you guys have learned as much too Let me know which CFM you're liking better the Eagles throwback CFM or this Minnesota Vikings When I will tell you the Minnesota Viking one is actually brutal learning and my team's getting better My team will be ready for this playoff push here. This is a big game. We're gonna get a rematch This was the Mark Andrews guy if you remember chucks the ball to mark Andrews the entire game So we're gonna have a plan for that for sure We've been over man. I I liked the three-man rush. I like the coverage obviously But my past rush, I don't know if it's good enough to go three-man rush I really don't so we're gonna have to mix it up a little bit. We're gonna have to Make some things shake. That's pretty much it. We're gonna have to score every single time, you know, and it's tough I'm my offense is not that great, but you know, we're gonna make it work for sure We'll make it look we'll make it work. Let's see weekly strategy Snead Dotson Dean. I think we gotta put Maybe Derek Brown could get I don't know John Franklin Myers William Jackson in the slot. I don't know man move Fire move Fire move. Let's do it. Let's do it upgrades available Lamar Dotson, let's go Dotson This guy will be a beast. He will be I promise you guys Yeah, we're playing right now. I think we're in Green Bay boys There we go Dotson. There we go Let's go Let's go Good job 37. He's scared. He's scared Just like the job Dotson. Let's go show out then kid. Oh My god, Snead come on man. Like you got to get there So you just can't stop two drags, bro. I can't stop just two drags. This is just miserable, man Dog like we got to get to the quarterback, man Like one one or two knockouts and it's just would change the game This guy's got a million edge threats, dude Luckily this guy is like worse than me though. Of course. I just lag extra point though. That's good. That's great. Nice, dude Nice nice nice Dude, like this is the only play he needs to run. It's it. There's blocking He's blocking nobody and I cannot stop drags right now, dude.  Nice job boys. Nice job right there. I can't cover anybody I can't bro like it's just you don't got a block anybody. I can't cover a soul, man I cannot cover a soul.         It's like it's like it's just it's disgusting Thank you Just can't stop the run, dude.  Like we just have to try to blip. We just have to try to get pressure Thank you boys I gotta pick this oh my god this game. He swat dog I just worked this so perfectly and he swatted it out of my hands dog.  I just cannot get over the CFM shit, dude See, it's terrible.  He's like I can I ask him to guard that better than that?  It's a dog dog. This sucks, bro You can I like this is absolutely miserable. It really is miserable This is at this is just this is disgusting man. It's disgusting. Yeah, I know this this absolutely dude This is like I my user might as well not even be here. It really might as well not be here, dude That's good. Nice job edge for edge Secure protector nice job right there, man Just if I just catch that one pass.  It's sad. It's actually sad Time to go to match and pray Don't why is this guy beating my secure protector like this? Why man? Yeah, what's up, dude? Who is this demon pass committed? Oh? He's just past committing every play.    I cannot play this mode anymore, and we dropped that pass Are you kidding me?   I'm just I'm just literally this is oh my god Oh my god. It's just no way I just I just I just can't like He's just throwing anything like he has no care. He has zero care zero care for like I This sucks, dude.    I've ever played in my life is this game, dude I can't catch a pic like what like what what where's the comeback coming from? I'm getting shetted like that instantly like what are we doing, dude?         This is this is like oh Yeah, but run the ball in the past commit and he's just calling time out bro.


In our first episode of the Unity Idle Game Tutorial Series 2021, we are going to be installing Unity. I'll be guiding you through the steps and all the stuff you need in order to get successfully working. I'm going to show you how to install Visual Studio Community Edition. I will not show you how to install Visual Studio Code since I personally have never used it before. And I'm going to show you some precautions that we can avoid in the future. And if you enjoyed this video, make sure you smash the like button, subscribe to my channel if you're new, and turn on notifications. Just click that bell so you can get notified for future videos and live streams. Anyways, let's just get right into it. So the first step into installing Unity is to simply just go to their download page. So you can just search up Unity download. Now once you get to their download page, you're going to see quite a bit of options. You can choose Unity and an individual download. So you can download Unity on its own. However, I highly recommend you not to do that because it'll be really annoying to kind of update your version. So that's why we're going to be downloading Unity Hub today. So click that button to get started. So once you go through the setup, it'll ask for like an install location as usual. I didn't honestly didn't need to install this, but I'm just going to go with you guys. So currently we are installing it and it's done already. So once it's done, you want to make sure this run Unity Hub is checked and click finish. And sometimes you may get some Windows security alerts when it comes with this, just allow access. Okay, so your screen may look a little different than mine because I've actually had stuff in the past. You may have to log in and stuff. And if you don't have a unity account, I would do that as soon as possible if it almost asks you already. So the first thing we need to do is actually install Unity. So right now as you can see, I have five versions right here. I can honestly install these four because I don't really need four previous versions of Unity. But in order to install the latest version here is click this blue add button here. And we'll see a long list of versions here. Sometimes there's a little more when there's beta testing, but currently there isn't. So I recommend going for the official release, which is the latest one, which would be in my case 2020.1.17f1. So you select that and hit next and go through the installation phase. And the recommended release is good for long term support, minimizing the amount of bugs you'll experience. But that's up to you if you want to choose the latest version with more features or the less buggy one. So again, up to you. So next, you'll just click that next button. And depending on what kind of a developer you're going to be, you want to make sure to install the correct platforms. If you're going to be an Android developer, you want to hit that Android build support Android SDK and NDK tools and open JDK. This is all that you're required for building to Android. So you need to hit all of these and make sure you have all three of them checked as well. Now, if you're on a Mac right now, I would turn on this iOS built support if you're going to be an iOS developer. However, if you're on Windows, it's completely pointless. So do not hit the iOS unless you have a Mac. And personally, since I am a Linux Mac and a web GL and a Windows dev, I have all four of these checked. Now, if you're only doing Windows, you can have Windows only for going to do WebGL, WebGL, same with Linux and Mac. And I'm going to show you each one of these at the very end of the series as well. So anyways, after that, you'll just hit next, and it should start installing. So since I already have a 2020.2, I don't want to downgrade because currently it's 1.717 F1, something like that. So I don't want to downgrade. So we're just going to be using 2020.2 for today. So as it's installing, it should take about 30 minutes to an hour. So currently we have hours installed. So we're just going to hop right ahead to creating a new project. So in your project section here, you should see nothing here unless you've made a project in the past. And what you're going to do is click this new button here, okay, and you're going to get a window, create a new project with Unity and latest version that you installed. And you have a bunch of templates here. So the cool thing is, I guess it has mobile 2D and mobile 3D, but we're not going to use those. We're just going to use the 2D one. And we're just going to give this a name. I'm calling my idle game tutorial series 2021. If you don't have a name already, that's perfectly fine. You can change the folder later on and it'll still work just fine. Okay, our project has been created here, it's just an empty, empty scene with a camera. And you may sometimes see this error here, unable to parse file project settings, just ignore it, you can hit this clear button here. And it's yeah, you can just pretty much ignore it. Now your layout might not look like mine. If you want to match mine, you can all you want. I basically have the scene animator asset store and package manager at the top. And if you don't see like asset manager or asset store and package manager at the top already, just completely ignore those, you don't really need them. But basically I just have the scene and my game separated. So it might look like views something like this. So what you can do is just drag this game tab right here and just drag it towards the bottom and it should snap right there. And I like to separate my hierarchy and my inspector just because when you click on main camera, you know what you're selecting here. And it's just easy to switch between here. And I also really like to switch between the project console animation here, even though maybe the animation could be a little better spot for me. But this is just how I set mine up. So when you create a new project, ignore my giant to mess of a folder here. But basically it creates a folder here called idle game tutorial series 2021. And here you'll have your assets, the library, which is like temporary files, logs, just stuff like this, you'll mostly be focusing on assets because that's just where all your scripts images, all that cool stuff goes. And if you ever want to change the project name, like when you open it up, all you got to do is just close out a project, make sure you say first, and then you can just rename this folder, open it right up, and it's good to go. Okay, so now it's time to install visual studio community edition. So what I'm going to be using throughout the entire series is called JetBrains writer. Now I really love this IDE. And it costs money, unfortunately, so I don't recommend any new people to buy this yet unless you consider this to be like a long term, like profitable project, I guess I can say, otherwise video studio community editions works just great. Now, if you are on kind of a not so good computer, first of all, this may be a little difficult for you. However, you can install video studio code. And it's a little more lightweight. However, I'd highly suggest you to give this a try. So once you go to the visual studio community edition on Google, you could just hit this first link right here, brings you to the download right here, or you can just go to their Microsoft visual studio website. And you will be installing visual studio 2019 community edition.  And it should start downloading immediately. Okay, once you open it, you will see the installer starting to run here. And we're just going to continue through this process. I recently just uninstalled visual studio just so I can show you guys the full on demonstration because who knows, there could be some stuff that we need to do before we actually start using it because sometimes it will ask us if you'd like to install unity packages, and you'll you want to or else it won't, it won't really work with unity that well. Okay, so now that the now that this is good to go, you can see that there's a bunch of options here. So you can get individual components, which I don't recommend. You can get language packs for different languages, and you can change your installation location. So for here, let's go through this list. So we're going to get dot net desktop development, which is like C sharp. And we're not going to be using C++ or any of that kind of stuff. I didn't know you could do C++ with mobile. That's kind of cool. Game development with unity, that is the big one you need here. And I believe that's it. Yep. So all you need is dot net desktop development and game development with unity. And you can just hit that install button. And also make sure you have quite a bit of storage left because this and you need combined will take quite a bit of storage on your computer. All right, so now it's starting to install. Cool. So it's done. Once it's done, you should see this little panel right here. And you can modify launch or repair, uninstall all that good stuff. So we're just going to hit that lot. So we're just going to hit this. So what we can do is just close this for now since we don't need to access to it. Oh, it looks like it's already loaded. Nevermind then. So let's just configure this real quick. So I personally like the dark theme. And development settings, I'm just going to put Visual C sharp. So that's what we're using. Start Visual Studio. Okay, while that's happening here, let's go back to unity. And we're going to prevent a future error. And that is just some kind of miscompatibility with Visual Studio and and unity here. Okay, so yeah, you also need to make an account so Microsoft account in order to sign into Visual Studio, unfortunately. And I think once you make an account, it should be good. So it's either you pay for something, you either pay for it or you make into an account make an account. I believe that's how it works. I haven't I haven't paid a single dime for Visual Studio Community Edition. All right, once you sign in, you should see everything here. You can see I already have one of my old projects in here. But we're just going to close this. So now we're going to link unity and Visual Studio. So what we're going to do is click edit preferences. And you'll be in general. So we're not going to do anything here. So I want you to go to external tools. And you see this external script editor here. Well, right now it's assigned a writer, because that's what I use. So what you do is select this Visual Studio Community 2019. So that's the current version you have installed. So you'll select this and it'll be good to go. Okay, and also what we want to do is scroll down here. If you're doing Android development, you want to make sure that all of these are checked here as well. You may sometimes need to uncheck these and all that. But for now, just make sure they're all checked and you're good to go. Well guys, we're all set up and we're ready to get started in the next episode. So in the next episode, episode 0.2, I'm going to be showing you guys how to use unity, how to access certain parts of the engine and what everything explain what everything is. And this will also make our transition into making our game much easier instead of having to figure out everything from scratch and just taking a guess if you wanted to start on your own. Now, if you guys have already made a game in the past, you don't really have to watch the next series. That's why it's not episode one. It's episode 0.2. However, if you want to watch just for just to double check your understanding, then you're more than welcome to anyways, I'll see you guys in the next video. And if you enjoyed this video, make sure you smash the like button, subscribe to my channel if you're new and turn on notifications for future videos and live streams. Catch you guys in the next one. Have a great day night. Peace.


Welcome back everyone. Live coverage here at HPE Discover 2023. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE with Dave Vellante. Dave, our 12th year covering Discover, HPE, now HPE. And multiple discovers overseas, right, Frankfurt. We did Barcelona, right? We've done Madrid, so London. We've been covering the cultural evolution of HPE. And I got to say, there's great keynote. The accomplishments are there. Just great performance from the team. They're humble, sometimes they don't brag enough. They did showcase today, so a lot of great stuff. Our next guest, Pradeep Kumar, a CUBE alumni. Senior Vice President, General Manager, HPE Services. Pradeep, great to see you. Last year we had a great chat. Thanks for coming on. Yeah, thank you, John. Thanks for having me. The keynote was amazing.  He said everything he was going to do, he did it. And he did more. He made some bets, they paid off. Things are flowering in their blossoming. It's time to harvest. Absolutely, absolutely. You guys got some news rebranding. Let's get into it. Yeah, no, so everything that you heard is driven by services organization. If you look at the big announcement of AI for HPC, it is, you saw the big words. It requires training, tuning, and inference. That's all driven by services, right? So that's where we really help customers to get into that mode. And what we did a month ago is really rebrand. We had point next services. That was at a time of we were diversity out of PCs, outsourcing business. So Meg Whitman at that time decided we'll bring in a brand name called point next services. And we realized after seven years, it had served its purpose. So we really moved away from that and simplified the whole brand for services as HPE services. So we have in their advisory, we have operational services, we have managed services. Everything is now into one HPC services. And it's notable, we talked last year about the success of GreenLake, the momentum and traction and momentum it had and the impact on services. Now you have the rebranding, the focus. GreenLake clearly taking off the runway, looking good, as they say, that's going to change the makeup of services. So the question comes up, if everything's as a service, what services does HP services do? Couldn't... Yeah, we power that everything as services. As you know, it just doesn't happen. It needs to be done. So from a customer point of view, customers really are on a transformation journey, right? So services make sure we understand what is that transformation journey? How can we help you strategize transformation? We are like the coach coming behind and saying, hey, let's strategize your transformation. This is the path for the transformation. How do we help in making that happen? And how do we, after it's done, how do we make sure the customer continues to get the outcomes it wants to? So that's making GreenLake alive is our job, right? And we started that, we want to make sure it just continues on. Ever since I've been in the industry, services have been in big trouble because it used to be, when I started, services was fixing broken disk drives and the disk drives got more reliable so people say, whoa, you don't need break fix services anymore. And then, you know, fast forward to the cloud. Oh, the cloud's going to kill the need for any services because everything's going to be as a service. Now, of course, automation is going to put you out of business. So explain the conversations you're having with customers and the types of services and help that you can bring to help them on their automation and AI journey. Yeah, so naturally, as I said, before the advisory is a big one, right? So we come in, especially in this market environment, where people are looking for optimizing things, right? Where the market is. They want to know how they can set up their infrastructure differently. How can they achieve outcomes very differently, right? Therefore, we provide a huge advisory and professional services upfront, right? To paint the picture of what it should be. Then we discuss about what is the transformation path that they need to take. In that transformation path, there could be infrastructure involved. So what you called as break-fix services is exist, but to a very small amount, right? Majority of it is self-remediation through automation, right? So that happens automatically in a way. And once it's all implemented, you want two things. How are you going to operate it? Because what you had, the traditional model that we all know doesn't work anymore. You need new skills. You need new processes. You need new technology, because it's all digital. And in the back end, you want to do that monitoring and making sure it's continuously optimized your environment. Pradeep, I got to ask you on June 5th, you guys announced HPE services for Standable IT. On the keynote we heard, and we analyzed it during our keynote analysis section, that LLMs and sustainability were kind of in the data insights part of the keynote. Okay, interesting position, because he had so much to cover. But we're hearing that even with LLMs, it's a carbon footprint issue. AWS also on stage has a very aggressive goal to be net zero by, I think 2022. You guys want to be net zero, carbon zero, net zero by a day two, aggressive goals. This is a real big deal IT for sustainability, because you got LLMs, you got sustainability goals. These are new things that need service. They need playbooks, they need implementation. Is it new? Is it emerging? What is this all about? Why is it so important? Why are customers interested in it? Really good question, John. I think let me talk about sustainability, right? What other competition does this a little bit of here and there? They say, hey, if you use this machine, it'll reduce, it'll consumption is reduced by 15%. That's not the path we take. With through services, we take a completely comprehensive approach. Number one, what you'll see tomorrow, Fidelma, Rousseau, CTO announcing, we have a sustainability dashboard. Number one, customers need to know where they stand. How much carbon do they use? Before you talk about getting to net zero, you need to know what you're using currently. So the dashboard will give you where you are today. And then what we do with them is discuss about how do you actually become sustainable in the sense not about just using a particular hardware, but saying, hey, how many applications do you use? What are the applications you really need? And where should those workloads rely? So internally, even within HPE, we had 5,000 applications last year. We have gone to 1,500 applications now. And that shows the power of reduction of what we are doing. And then we decided, where do you put those workloads? We went into co-locations. You saw Equinix, which uses green energy, where to put them on, right? And in the back end, how do we remediate things? And the traditional things, okay, what equipment do you use? What consumes the lowest amount of energy? So you see the whole comprehensive package, right? In the back end, the value of HPE is HPE Financial Services, because they reuse those products, right? They upscale all the products and use it in many ways. So you have an end-to-end comprehensive, sustainable product compared to our competitors. Yeah, I think I just, I know Dave wants to jump in. I want to say though, it's gone from, I don't want to say checkbox, but it's legit issue now. I mean, I want to say it's never been legit, but it's been kind of like, oh yeah, we got sustainability goals. It's hardcore now. There's a much different environment than it was just five years ago. Yeah, yeah. We want to be, I mean, who do you come to your mind when you talk about sustainability? It's Patagonia, right? Basically, I would say Patagonia, the company which is sustained, we want to be the Patagonia for the IT industry. Can I get a nice vest for the... You can have one of those, yeah. I saw that you have some merchandise there for HPE. Absolutely, yeah. I want to ask about Opsrimp. I really like that acquisition. It's another area where people might say, well, it's going to obviate the needs for services, but the whole AI Ops is really exciting. I think you guys maybe even are underselling the importance of it's new, right? It's just closed. I think you announced the acquisition in March. Yeah. It's closed, but maybe closed, yeah. So yes, and so how do you see that fitting in? What is going to be the impact for customers and in particular your partners? How do you see that? Yeah, so it is a great acquisition, right? What it does is, as we know, Opsrimp brings that AI Ops to a hybrid environment or a multi-cloud environment, not just for HPE gear, but for all multi-variety of competitive gear, right? So we know from starting from discovery and dashboarding where things are, what they're doing, even in the sustainability, we know what they're consuming all the way to monitoring and remediation, all done in a very automated fashion. That is fantastic, right?  And this is the point, is that environment, I didn't say environments, it is environments, but you see it as one. Absolutely. So on-prem, on-cloud, on-prem, out to the edge, that's what we call super-cloud. I mean, we saw the Opsrimp acquisition as a really, as you're, again, what we call super-cloud play, i.e. a layer that sits on top of whatever cloud it is, on-premises, edge, et cetera, and that's the unification message. Is that the right way to think about it? Absolutely, I would more describe it as one pane of glass to monitor everything. So you saw AWS in the back end doing things, but if a customer is using AWS, we am where us, everything, you can see through one pane of glass what's going on where, and that's a huge, huge win. And I think one of the things we've been reporting on is, we're starting to report on this multi-cloud by design, which looks like super-cloud, because right now, you guys have a great tagline. Hybrid by design, not by accident. That's legit, because you have to do that, be successful. Public cloud, clearly with GreenLake, you guys nailed it. The challenge right now is, people have multi-cloud by accident. Acquisition, I got this company, someone's got Teams on the Microsoft, they got this over here, but the app devs are on, say, AWS, cranking away, scaling up. So you have to kind of work across and design that cloud experience upfront. That's what people are working on right now. Still early innings, it's not even yet clear, but we're framing it. We think it's a scale platform on a cloud, public cloud, with an on-premise and edge operating layer. That could be security, that could be data, this threaded fabric, if you will, or whatever you want to call it, overlay, abstraction layer. Yeah, we call it the platform, but that's what it is, right? Everything is on the platform, that's what we call it. And that would have, as you said, access to the multi-cloud, access to lots of our customers still have a lot of on-prem real estate that day. And so you want, on board, to see a cloud-like management service, right? So that's what they have. You know, I used to work at HP back in the 80s and 90s, and I remember, it's always been in the DNA of the company, multi-vendor, that was an old term. How do you apply multi-vendor to cloud? Because that's, we're starting to get into, it's not, the products are different, but it's multiple environments, multiple applications, we're seeing workloads, and applications deciding which database to use. There's no one database to rule the world anymore. You've got cloud-native, right on the doorstep, that's your strategy. What does multi-vendor translate to into this new partner ecosystem? You've got VMware on stage, you've got Amazon, you've got Equinox, GreenLake. It's like the Wild West, yeah. How do you talk to customers and say, you can't say multi-vendor, because what is a vendor? Yeah, so when we talk to customers, John, I think the way we talk about it and how we advise people is, what is the outcome you want to achieve? So it's not an accident, this is the outcome you want to achieve, this is the digital transformation path you want to take, and that path will involve the hyperscalers, involve HPE, the solution will involve multi-players, we involve on-prem, off-prem, and everything in that, right? But I think we get customers to focus on the outcome, rather than how you're getting that done. Cloud is a service model, it's a platform model, maybe multi-platform, I mean, this is kind of Dave, this is what we've been working on. I want to ask about the winds of change now, so as we went from everything's got to be remote work, and you got to be a digital business, and then all of a sudden, we're worried about recession and rising interest rates, and so it's like tap the brakes, and then all of a sudden chat GPT comes out, and it's like, we got to figure this out, and so that's what I love about this industry, right? And you see, it's interesting to watch the venture money flow into AI, just making bets. What are the customers' conversations like? Are they, I mean, the ones I've talked to really, they're going to use AI, and they have been, to automate their business, but have they changed their thinking at all in terms of where the business value is, how hard are they leaning into generative AI, and what are they looking for HPE to bring? Yeah, so there are a few things, they're a really good question. One of the things, so what has not changed is the outcome they want to achieve. How do they achieve their outcome is the question, right? That is critical, and they want to work with a trusted partner. Really, with so much change going in technology, they're worried about themselves, what to believe, what not to believe. I mean, it's what we go through. We get a chat, GPT, do we believe in it or not? And this is where a trust, I think Antonio kept on emphasizing this, trust becomes really, really important to have that conversation about, hey, this is where you are, because every customer is in a different place in the journey. With different data. With different data, different data strategies. So they all are in very unique positions in that life cycle of where they want to make the change. So this is why the advisory becomes very, very important. You want to have somebody trusted who makes sense of these things, and also the biggest thing is it's not just technology. Just because you got technology, it's never going to work. You need the people, you need the process, and the technology, all three in a new way. If you had basic IT ops when we were there, that doesn't work in the cloud ops model. So you need to evolve your people skills, you need to change your processes to work. This is what's interesting about LLMs as a service that you've announced, is I want to do experimentation. I don't want to eat the capex. I definitely don't, so don't make me go back there. Cloud, you know, is the good, the bad, and the ugly of cloud, and so I'm really interested to see how experimentation occurs in your service model. That's going to be fascinating. Absolutely, that's what I started out with. That training of what it is, taking the data, tuning out to that particular environment, the unique opportunity. I mean, pharma has different operators, life sciences have different, weather has different. We need to make, tune that to that model and then use the inference to get the outcomes they want. So this is where services play a huge role to make that happen. The vision was there, we have to make it. And I think the LLM and the sustainability piece are direct areas where you got to navigate through, I won't say tripwires or landmines, it's just IP rights, security. These are big issues, so congratulations. In the, in the, go ahead, go please, please. No, I just want to say to give a plug in, we have done some modeling work taking the LLM, our data, our services data, predicting what is going to fail, how to fix it, combining with AR and VR. So somebody can work out what's going to fail but also immediately know how to fix it on a, on a simple iPhone. And the edge is this whole new opportunity. I mean, it's, it's ugly. You remember we were sitting in the bar here, having dinner a couple of weeks ago with one of the engineers and we won't name the company. And he's like, what do you guys think about the edge?  I'm like, uh-huh, so the services loves complicated. And, and because that's what you do, you simplify the complex. Yeah, simplifying the mess makes good sense for the customer and makes good sense for HPE. Let chaos reign and reign in the chaos. We always stay on the cube. Exactly. Great, great to have you on the cube. Great to see you, congratulations. Got to know you, a lot of work ahead of you, a lot of great opportunities. Tailwind for HPE, congratulations on all the success. And we'll see you in 20, 20, 20, 20, 20. Thank you, great to see you today. Okay, next up, we've got Monica Bachelder, Chief Sustainability Officer and John Frey, Chief Technologist for Sustainable Transformation at HPE, you're watching theCUBE. Extracting the signal from the noise here in Las Vegas. We'll be right back.


To be effective, leaders need to be information literate. Information literacy is vital to making good decisions, developing strategies, and communicating effectively. But what exactly is information literacy? Is it the same as being able to read and write, or being able to use a computer? Not exactly. Information literacy is a combination of knowledge, skills, and characteristics that allows an individual to effectively locate and use information. An information literate individual has knowledge about how information is created, accessed, and shared, and the ability to know where and how to search for information. More specifically, a leader who is information literate understands that there are many different search tools available, ranging from search engines such as Google to specialized academic and corporate databases. A person who is information literate can use multiple search tools and resources, including print resources, and changes their search strategy based on the type of information that they need. Rather than using the first information that they find, a leader who is information literate understands how important it is to critically evaluate any information, considering such factors as the authority, purpose, and accuracy of the information before they use it. A leader who is information literate is also able to use information effectively to support their decision-making processes or to accomplish a specific purpose. They also understand that there are laws and ethical guidelines related to information, and take these into consideration when determining how to search for information, where and how they can share specific types of information, and when they need to provide attribution. And finally, to be information literate, a leader must display certain characteristics, including patience and persistence when searching for information, the flexibility to revise a search if the initial results are not acceptable, and a determination to seek out quality information, rather than being satisfied with the first information that they find.


In the last video, we took a look at some of the most common types of offensive plays. So let's flip things around and take a look at the defensive side of the ball. On most plays, the defensive linemen will be attempting to just get to the quarterback as quickly as possible. So most of what we're about to look at will primarily be concerned with what the linebackers and defensive backs will be doing. Like many other sports, the two general coverages the defense will use in football are the man-to-man and the zone coverage. In man-to-man, each defender would be assigned to a specific offensive player and it is their job to stop that player from catching the ball, or if he does, tackling him as soon as possible after he does catch the ball. For example, the cornerbacks would be assigned to cover the wide receivers while the linebackers would be assigned to the running back or a tight end. You'll notice that because there are five offensive linemen in the quarterback on offense, this will lead to the safeties and the defense of linemen without a pair. Again, the linemen will probably just be rushing and we will come back to the safeties in a second. But of course, the weakness of a man-to-man defense is that good receivers will have an advantage if only one defender is covering them. It will also allow the offense to spread things out so that they can have more room in the middle to run the ball. If we take one step away from the man-to-man, we would get the cover to defense. This would mean that both of the safeties would hang back in order to give support to the corners if the ball is thrown deep up the field. There are many additional variations on zone defense all the way to the other extreme in which all the defenders except the linemen would have an area they are responsible for. You might hear other coverages mentioned like the cover three or the cover four. Each of these different numbers all the way up to the cover six refers to a different type of zone coverage alignment. Obviously the weakness in zone defense is that things can get difficult when there is more than one receiver in your area to cover. This is why there are the different types of zone defenses. One term that you'll probably hear at some point during a game is a blitz. This refers to a type of play in which the defense will send an extra player to try to tackle the quarterback. So let's go back to our free safety in the man-to-man setup again. More times than not he will roam around in the middle of the area of the field. He is essentially free to go anywhere hence the name free safety. So let's say that on this play rather than hanging back in the middle of the field the defensive team calls for the free safety to blitz. Since the defense of players can move around before the snap he might work his way up to the line of scrimmage and then when the ball is snapped he will run in for the quarterback as quickly as possible. This type of blitz would be called a safety blitz. Alternately they might try to fake the offense out by lining up as if the safety is going to blitz but instead he covers the wide receiver while the corner back blitzes. As you might suspect this would be a corner blitz. Most commonly though we will see a linebacker blitz. You may even see a defensive end drop back into coverage while the linebacker goes in for the quarterback. One final defensive term to explain is the box. This refers to the general area that is about as wide as the offensive line and about five yards deep into the defense and most formations the linemen and the linebackers will be said to be in the box so that makes seven guys. When you'll most likely hear the announcer on TV make reference to the box it'll be when they start adding or removing defenders from it. On plays close to a first down line or the goal line you might see a team bring ten guys into the box and then attempt to block up the middle of the field and make it very difficult to run against. The flip side of course is where a team could spread out the receivers then the defense then may reduce the number of players in the box which in turn would make it much easier to run against. So defensive strategy has been evolving for decades so we could spend a great deal of time on it still not get to everything. Luckily as long as you have somewhat of an understanding of the different defensive formations and strategies you will have no trouble enjoying a game. After all it always goes back to the simplest goal. That's the guy with the ball.


Hello, I'm Steve Nunn, President and CEO of the Open Group. Welcome to Toolkit Tuesday, where we highlight the various components and leading experts of the Architects Toolkit, a collated portfolio of the most pertinent technology standards for enterprise architects. During the series, I'll be calling on a number of recognized experts who will bring their particular insights on how to most effectively use the various tools in the Architects Toolkit. We'll have a mix of interviews, panel sessions and pre-recorded presentations along the way. While all standards of the Open Group are designed so they can be adopted independently of one another, the greatest value for an organization can be derived when they're used in unison. The sum of the parts should be greater than the whole. In the Architects Toolkit, we have collated a portfolio of the most pertinent ones for architects together, all in one place. For most of these tools, certification from the Open Group is also available, so practitioners can demonstrate that they have the skills required, and recruiters can take the guesswork out of the recruitment process, all backed up by our Open Badges program. I had the pleasure of talking at the Open Group's EA and Sustainability Conference recently. One of the things I picked up from there was the architectural challenge of balancing the environmental cost of measuring, recording and reporting on, say, something like a carbon footprint of something with the environmental savings that could be gained by doing so. In other words, our own IT, when we develop it and operate it, brings energy consumption. If the measurement overhead that we're adding to the equation outweighs the potential of what we could save, we're not helping, we're actually making things worse. So whilst it isn't really a shodding as cat or observers effect, it does suggest that we need architectural guidance as to how to estimate the environmental impact before we build something, which in an agile incremental development is going to be much harder than planned out efforts. Carbon footprint t-shirt sizing, anyone? Welcome, everybody, to Toolkit Tuesday. Welcome back. As the regulars will know, we are on a weekly cycle at the moment, so we're getting even more content out to you and I hope you're finding it useful. I hope wherever you are in the world, you're keeping safe and well and we're glad that you've chosen to join us today. Before going any further, my thanks as ever to Mr. Paul Holman of IBM for his EA minutes. He's always leaves us with much to think about after these things. So great thoughts, Paul. Thank you as ever. Before we start with today's topic, we're going to make a shameless plug. I'm going to make a shameless plug for the Open Group Summit, which is happening in London on April the 17th to the 19th. In fact, it goes on to the 20th for one or two of our groups. But April 17th and 19th, Westminster, London, lots of our groups coming together and we are having some great sessions on different topics, including an expanded session on today's topic, which is the portfolio of digital open standards. So I'll get to that in just a moment. But before that, just a reminder or a intro to the WebEx tool and how we ask questions on Toolkit Tuesday. We please do that through the Q&A channel. And if you can't see that, please click on the three dots in the bottom right hand corner of your screen. And that will give you the chance to click on Q&A and then please ask questions of our speaker through that. Do feel free to use the chat channel to communicate with each other. We particularly love hearing where you're all joining us from. That's become a Toolkit Tuesday and in fact a thing of the Open Group generally. We do have people joining us at these from all around the world and we're very proud of it. And please tell us where you're from in the chat channel. But questions, Q&A. So yeah, Q&A, Q&A for questions. There we go. So without further ado, I'm going to introduce our topic and our speaker today. So the topic is one that hopefully you may have heard of before, the portfolio of digital open standards, which we've been working on for a little while now. We have an MVP online for you to see. And I hope I'm not stealing too much of Chris's thunder when I go into this. But we're basically bringing together various established standards of the Open Group in a more cross-referenced and usable way together. So I'll stop there with the intro of the topic and introduce our speaker who is Mr. Chris Frost, who is actually one of the panel of experts we have here on Toolkit Tuesday. So it's a welcome back for Chris. Chris is based in the UK and has worked for Fujitsu since 2005 in a variety of technical leadership roles. At present, he is a principal enterprise architect within the Global Delivery Architecture Division, responsible for architecture standards and governance. That's his day job. Within the Open Group, Chris is co-chair of the Digital Portfolio Working Group, which is the group that is spearheading this initiative he will talk about today. And he is also a contributing member in several architecture forum activities. He also sits on the Open Group Governing Board, so very active inside the Open Group. Before Fujitsu, Chris worked for EDS, which is now part of DXC, on several large contracts for the UK Ministry of Defense. And in earlier years, he worked for Ford, Shell, and a small software startup called Shamrock Marketing, appropriate in the week of St. Patrick's Day. So a warm welcome back, as I say, to Toolkit Tuesday for Chris Frost. Welcome, sir. Okay, so thank you very much, Steve. And good afternoon, good morning, wherever you are. And thank you for that introduction, Steve. So as Steve said, I'm an architect with Fujitsu. And one of the things I really don't like doing is reinventing wheels and having to grapple with problems that it turns out that other people have already solved. And that's one of the reasons why I think this portfolio of standards that we're building with the Open Group is particularly useful. And as we go through the presentation today, I hope you'll understand why I think that's particularly useful, and hopefully you will find it valuable too. So first of all, what is this thing that we're talking about? The portfolio of digital open standards. In short, it's a combination of standards from the Open Group, making a sort of a comprehensive super standard of the digital business and digital products, digital transformation and the like. As Steve mentioned, we've recently released an MVP and you can see on the screenshot on the right-hand side there, what the front page looks like and the URL for that. That's out there now. And our goal with it is to make this portfolio, portfolio of digital open standards, the best source of standards for digital business. Now, we've been evolving this for something over a year now. The MVP that I just mentioned was released back in October, 2022. And the current status with it is that we've got the top level view, as you can see it there. There's a comprehensive cross-standard search facility, which is a very powerful thing. And within the framework of the portfolio, we've currently got a number of the Open Group standards loaded into it, DPBock, IT for IT, OAA and the TOGAF standard. And there's plenty of work in progress right now. We're working on adding more content. So we're hopefully going to have the contents of the ARCUMATE standard added in very shortly. We're working on improving the integration between those standards, the user experience of using the portfolio. And we are doing some joint activity with the Open Group Security Forum to work on some additional security content. So we're constantly working to evolve this portfolio and make it broader and more powerful. But my theme here is help for architects. So let me talk a little bit more about specifically how this helps architects. So within this portfolio, we've got a number of the general architecture standards from the Open Group. We've got TOGAF, the World Front Standard EA framework. We've got the OAA, the Hagell architecture standard. And as you just heard, very shortly, ARCUMATE. We've also got a number of broader digital business standards. So we've got IT for IT, reference architecture to digital product lifecycle. We've got the DPBock, which is all about competencies and open fare. But I guess many of these things will not be so familiar to all of you. It's quite typical through membership of the Open Group that you perhaps come in because you're interested in one of the standards in particular. For example, you join the architecture forum because you're interested in TOGAF. But maybe don't see so much of some of the other standards. So I'm just going to take a real quick tour through these things and then come back to sort of look up, all right, so what does that mean for you as an architect? How can you use these things to help you in your work? So let's start with TOGAF, probably one of the better known standards from the Open Group. TOGAF is, the TOGAF standard is an enterprise architecture framework. And at its core, you've got the three parts, the ADM, the general purpose architecture development method. You've got the content framework, which you can think of it really as just a map of the, all the different parts you need in an architecture description. And you've got some pieces on capability and governance, which is really dealing with all of the people's sides of an architecture organization. You've also got a rich set of guides as over 20 TOGAF series guides, covering a whole variety of different topics, additional guidance on setting up teams, guidance on business architecture, reference models on government business, for example, there's a whole host of different topics in there, and many other guidance documents and white papers. So although it's called an enterprise architecture framework, I really would say there's something in it for all architects, not just those with enterprise in their title. There's also the OAA, that covers architecture for digital and agile enterprise transformation. And it's designed to complement frameworks, agile frameworks like safe and less and all of these other agile frameworks that I'm sure we will have heard of. And essentially it consists of a core plus some building blocks. And that the core introduces the fundamental concepts and the structure of the OAA. And sort of talks about this need to do a dual agile and digital transformation, sort of making the point that if you're doing a digital transformation, you really are also doing an agile transformation of an organization. And then as I mentioned, you have the OAA building blocks, which goes into the topics in greater detail. For example, agile strategy, agile organization, software architecture, and many other topics. You can see some of the building blocks in the graphic on the right-hand side of the screen taken from the OAA standard. Archimate is a graphical modeling language for enterprise architecture. And essentially it covers a standard specification of a number of shapes, icons, line types to enable us to model all of these aspects of enterprise architecture. So business strategy, business architecture, and so on, you can see the wall on the screen. And so it describes the sort of symbology, standard symbology to model all of these things. And you can see an example on the screen on the right-hand side there. Now, I haven't got time in this presentation to go through it all in detail. But essentially what you're looking at here in this example is this part up here with the chevrons is a value stream in Archimate, business value stream, and these objects underneath with the little sort of square symbols, these are business capabilities. So it's sort of showing you how the value stream is made up a number of business capabilities. But I have to move on. So next I want to cover IT for IT. And that is a reference architecture that covers the whole range of IT business and digital product lifecycle. It's divided at the top level into a number of functionality groups as they're called. And those are the things in the sort of dark blue on the slide. So these things called plan and build and deliver that you can see in the dark blue color. Plan covering all of those things to do with planning a digital strategy and your portfolio build, essentially to do with the construction of digital products, deliver, deploying those and allowing customers to consume and run covering all of the sort of operational things around detection and correction of issues. There's also at the top level a number of value streams. And these are the things you can see in the graphic in the gray arrows. So you've got seven top level value streams that cross through these functionality groups, evaluate, explore, integrate, deploy, release, consume, operate. And you can sort of understand, I'm sure, from the words, how they sort of walk through the whole of the product lifecycle. Now, you might think, okay, you can see any number of reference model diagrams like that if you just go out onto the internet and maybe Google reference models and things like that. But the real power of IT for IT is that it provides quite a lot of deep detail behind all of those things, behind the functions and the data that you need to flow across them to make that entire digital business and digital product lifecycle function. And next, OpenFair. OpenFair is a framework for information security risk analysis. The standards has basically two parts. There's the ORA, open risk analysis, as it's called, which is a method for analysis, systematic analysis of information security risk. And then to go with that, there's a part called the ORT, that's the open risk taxonomy. And that describes the standard taxonomy. So it's essentially a standard sort of dictionary of terms that you use to describe risk management as information security risk management because when you're doing these things with a degree of formality, you do need to be a little careful of your terminology and a little precise in your terminology of how you analyze and manage the risks. And then within the OpenFair material, there's also a number of other guides and examples such as how to apply OpenFair within the US NIST framework and an example of using OpenFair in how to do cyber risk analysis around some network connected medical equipment. And you can imagine there's some obvious cyber security risks to think about if you're going to network connect to some medical equipment. So you can think of it as sort of a synthetic case study on how to apply OpenFair. And then completing the tour through these standards that I'm going to cover here today is the DPBOC, the Digital Practitioner's Body of Knowledge. Now that provides an overview and gives some guidance around all of the competencies needed by a digital practitioner. And the way it's organized is according to the scale of a digital enterprise. And so if you imagine starting off a new digital enterprise initially as a sole founder and then growing it up to become first of all a team and then teams of teams and so on. These are what in the DPBOC language are called the four contexts. And it starts off with that founder level. So it looks at the sorts of things that a solo founder needs to be competent in when they start off with some new digital product. So you can imagine Jeff Bezos in his garage just starting out to Amazon. And the sorts of competencies you need there, you can see them at the bottom of the diagram here with this founder context. You need to know obviously a little bit about digital fundamentals, understand a little bit about digital infrastructure and application delivery. But at that point that is pretty much your entire world. Then as that organization grows, you get a few more people gathered around you and now become a team. And now you need to add a few more competencies. So now you've got a team of people you perhaps need to think a little bit more formally about your work management.  Operations management. Now you've got more people involved in looking after this digital product, whatever it is. And of course, product management. Then as we continue to grow, the next of these contexts as the DPBot calls them, we grow into the team of teams. And now we're layering on things like portfolio management because we might have more than one product at this point. We need to think a lot more about how we coordinate across our growing enterprise and the sorts of processes that we'll be following. And organization and culture starts to become significant. And then finally, when the company's grown up to be a large, long-lasting enterprise, the enduring enterprise as DPBot calls them, that's when you need to think about some of these things like governance, risk and compliance, architecture, of course, now becomes much more important. Now we're organizing at a much larger scale and so on. So the DPBot covers these 12, as they're called, competency areas. You can see them listed here on the diagram, which were arranged into these four contexts, as they're called. And just outlining all of those competencies that you need as you go through those sort of stages of growth of a digital enterprise. So that was a really quick tour through some of the standards within the digital portfolio. But just to sort of come back to this theme about help for architects, how does this help you as an architect? Well, if you think about creating the architecture for some digital product, then I've got straightaway, I've got Togoff and OAA just giving me general architecture framework and architecture guidance about how to do my job as an architect. I've got Archimate that helps me describe for me how to do the diagrams, for example, the diagramming my BDAT, business data application technology, architecture domains. I've got IT for IT that gives me that framework for the total lifecycle of product introduction and product support. And that means that as I'm going through developing the architecture, it gives me a reference point to make sure I think of all of the things necessary, not just the sort of core business functionality, but all of the things that I need necessary to make sure that I understand how I'm going to release their product, how users consume it, how they can subscribe to it in all of those things I'm blogging and access management and all of those things. Then all of the things also needed in day-to-day operation. So IT for IT helps me make sure that I design a complete, consumable and supportable product. I've got the DP box and that helps me understand the sorts of people I need, the sorts of competencies I need within my overall product team. All of the people and with all of the skills, the competencies I need to conceive the product, design, build and operate that product. And then finally, of course, I've got the open fair to help make sure that I have secured that product. So to summarize very quickly, this portfolio is, I think a great source of material for architects and some really useful things for you to use as you're going through developing the architecture of digital products. It is something that's under development at the moment. It's growing and improving. We welcome feedback. And if you go to the portfolio, you'll see in the top right-hand corner of it, there is a feedback button, please use it. And finally on this, if you want to find out more, please join the Open Group Conference in London. As Steve mentioned before, April the 17th of the 20th, and we'll be talking a lot more about this. And finally, there's the URL again on the screen. And that's all I had to say right now, except of course, I think it's time to pass on to questions. And Steve, if you want to come back and help me go through any questions that have been asked. Absolutely. Thank you, Chris, for that great overview. Thank you very much. And we do have some questions, but there are gonna be, I mean, one of the things we get asked a lot is, you know, it's great that we have this initial MVP and I really do encourage people to go and see it on our website and just have an explore in there. But, you know, we've got some standards in there and it's great to pull together things like TOGAF and OAA and ITFT, you know, is the group working towards having all standards added to the portfolio? All standards of the Open Group, obviously. Yes, yes. Do you know, I mean, over time, yes, we plan to add more and more of them. Would we ever get to a point where they're all in there? I can see there could be some reasons why some may remain separate. As you will know, well, Steve, if we look across all of the standards within the Open Group, there are some that have particular restrictions around them of access with particular kind of rules around them as to who can get involved. And so they might be tricky to sort of bring into this highly integrated framework. But I think in general, the theme is, yeah, we'll sort of gradually expand and expand that out of the sort of core of the common sort of architecture and digital product standards that we've got at the moment to gradually get wider and wider. Great, thank you. And questions come in along a similar vein. Well, no, I guess it's slightly different vein. Will the content in the portfolio of digital Open Standards be the place to go for information about them or like the only place to go? Or will the individual sources of standards still be available from the Open Group website as they are now? Yes, very much so. There's no plan to, for example, withdraw the Open Group library as it currently stands and all of the other things that are on the website. So yes, you'll still be able to go to the library to download the PDFs because sometimes, you know, that's useful to be able to take that offline download. But what this gives you is a much more sort of interactive, web-friendly way to see these things. And although I kind of skipped over it a little bit when I was talking about the portfolio, I mentioned search. You know, one of the really powerful things you can do within that portfolio, but with the search, is it enables you to search right across all of those Open Group standards that are loaded within the portfolio.  And that's really difficult to do if all you've got is separate PDFs. But the portfolio makes it really easy to do. It's one of the really powerful things about it. Great. And I mentioned at the outset, our global participation in the Open Group and one of the questions is really around that, which is, you know, there are many translations and glossaries for Open Group standards into other languages, but right now the portfolio seems to be just in English. Any plans for that to be different in the future? I mean, again, you're right. Right now we're focusing on loading up all of the English language versions and that's probably going to remain the first priority. But certainly the language translations in TOGAP, for example, I don't know how many languages it is, but TOGAP has been translated into many, many standards, as have some of the others, many, many different languages. So, yeah, just like a lot of web presentation things, you could imagine putting some sort of language button somewhere in the top of the standard framework and allow you to then automatically pull up the different language translations. So, you know, I can't give you a date for that now because we are progressively developing this thing, but it's certainly something we've talked about in the, we've just started, in fact, a stream of work that sort of looks particularly at the user experience, the customer experience of using that. And it's all of those sorts of things that we're thinking about in there, about how it's used and the sorts of features that we want to build into it. So, yeah, the sort of different languages is certainly one thing that's on the agenda. Great, thank you, Chris. I think in the interest of time, we will leave it there. There is another question just come in, I've seen, which is about open fare, which I'm not sure you're in a, well, give it a shot. Why is open fare still foundation and there's no practitioner part to it? You know, I see that in the Q&A. Yeah, I'm sorry, I have to refer to some do's in the security forum specifically about the certifications there. Sorry, I couldn't answer that one. No, absolutely. And there are, I mean, the security forum is going through revamping the certification in conjunction with the open group certification team, revamping the program. So watch this space for more information about what that means for the open fare certification. So we will, thank you for that question though. We will end it there, Chris. Very much appreciate you contributing and sharing what's going on, as usual. And it's hard to do in 20 minutes when there's so much to talk about, but we try and keep these nice and short and to the point and respect for everybody's time, not least your own. So thank you very much. Next week, folks, we are coming back again, as I said, we're on a weekly cadence at the moment. So March the 21st, we will have my colleague Andrew Josie, who is VP of Standards and Certification at the Open Group. And he will be talking, he'll be coming back to talk further about the Togaf Standard 10th Edition and the Togaf Certification Portfolio. If there's something that we get more questions about than anything else right now at the Open Group, it's that topic. So if you're interested in that in any way then, please join us on March 21st next week, same time, same place, and we'd love to have you with us. Meanwhile, keep well wherever you are. I'm Steve Nunn, thank you for watching Toolkit Tuesday.
