Reactive Security has limitations. We must learn to design secure systems from the ground up. With the increased penetration of software in our lives, comes adiitional incentives for malicious entities to take advantage of software for malicious purposes. This cannot be ignored or postponed any more.

Software is used in almost every aspect of our lives. Every industry, every business, almost every dayly activity depends to some extent (frequently very much) on software. Software engineering is therefore crucial because we all depend on the quality and transparency of the software behind all these processes.

Securing the digital world is a prerequisite for securing the real world. Cyberwars with different motivations are taking place as you read this. Cybersecurity is not just about technology, but about an ecosystem where humans, digital assets and information interact in ways that are often unpredictable at design time.

Securing the future cloud-based computing ecosystems (including IoT, Edge, etc.) requires rethinking the security from the ground up with new tools and approaches. I have been involved in cloud security projects since 2006 and have gained an insight on the real issues that define cloud security.

Expert reporting for the court is crucial in many cases. I have expertise in IT forensic investigation and was the general chair of the SADFE 2015 Conference in Málaga. Count on my experience and ask for a free consultation on your case.

IT Systems pose enormous threats to our rights and lifestyle, but IT Systems can also be the tool to protect our society from current and future threats and abuses. I coined the term Socially-benneficial Systems, which has since then received several other denominations.

Some advances that were ahead of their time

20KleaguesBanner

Sometimes, advances in science must be done in small increments. Big jumps ahead are often not taken seriously. Sometimes the problem is that the technology is not ready, sometimes, someone with more influence or a better marketing defines the name and gets the credit. Here are some examples, but you can find many more in the literature. But, the important question is not really about credit. It is about why the current scientific publishing and scientific dissemination mechanisms slow down some of the ideas….

PatternForge

,

PF

Similar to what SourceForge does for code, the PatternForge philosophy is to offer software engineers a centralized online location to find curated software engineering resources.
PatternForge collects, refines, improves and perfects not only design patterns but all software engineering instruments (a.k.a. artifacts, which essentially means anything that contributes to the development of quality software) and it does not only make them available to the community, but facilitates their use by software developers in real projects and with the support of CASE tools.
PatternForge adopts the “forge” approach, and consequently, it is materialized as a web-based collaborative platform for both developing and sharing software engineeering knowledge.

The role of IT in moving towards a socially-beneficial economy

,

“Many scholars and economists have raised the issue of the degradation of the principles of the theory of capitalism and their lack of validity in today’s world. These principles have guided the world economy for a long time and did reasonably well. However, the introduction of IT systems, their evolution in processing power, memory and connectivity and the capabilities that these advances bring, have resulted in the capability to practice “unenlightened self-interest” in the large scale. In this article we present the first IT system capable of reverting the situation, bringing us back in the direction of enlightened self-interest and promoting a more socially-beneficial economic activity.”
