What is GitHub? How to start using the code hosting platform – Business Insider

If you're interested in software or software development, you've likely heard of GitHub.

For a coder, GitHub is akin to what Pinterest offers to an interior designer a place where a person goes not just to upload content, but also for creative inspiration and collaboration.

Here's what you need to know about GitHub and how it relates to coding.

GitHub is, fundamentally, a hosting platform for coders. The cloud-based service allows coders to effectively manage and maintain open-source programming projects while collaborating with others.

To understand how GitHub works, you have to have an understanding of "Git" and the idea of "version control" in relation to Git.

Git, started by Linux creator Linus Torvalds, is an open-source version control system that tracks changes in files over time.

Version control is an important system when it comes to coding. It enables coders to be nimble with programming, and allows for apps to constantly have new version releases, expansion to other platforms, and bug fixes, among other tracked changes.

Version control systems like Git help maintain the integrity and security of ever-evolving code by safeguarding modifications, and those revisions are then hosted by GitHub, or an alternative "repository" hosting service although GitHub is the most popular among developers.

This allows developers to easily collaborate, allowing them to download a new version of the software, make changes, and upload the newest revision. Every developer can see these new changes, download them, and contribute.

Among the sites that feature Git repositories which is the term used for where Git is stored, often shortened to "repo" GitHub is the most popular, and thus, has the most to offer collaboratively. Put simply, it's the standard for coders.

There are several features that have made GitHub so popular with developers.

If you're looking for a resource to maintain and share code, you can easily install Git and sign up for GitHub for free. Here's how to get started:

1. First, you'll need to install the Git version control system, which you can download for free. Follow the directions specific to the device you're using.

2. Next, you can create your GitHub account at GitHub.com. A free account will have some limitations, but gives you access to both public and private repositories.

3. With your free account, you can get started right away and create a repository by clicking Create a repository on the GitHub welcome page to start a new project.

From the same page, you can also select Start Learningto take an "Introduction to GitHub" course if you need more expertise before getting started with creating a repository.

Increasing Government Resilience with Cloud-Based Disaster Recovery – GovTech

As state and local governments increasingly rely on cloud services, they have a responsibility to protect their data and ensure their systems are secure. This starts by understanding current practices and solutions are not always secure by default and developing best practices to mitigating new risks that may emerge in the future.

While many state and local governments are making progress to strengthen enterprise security, their efforts must focus not only on prevention, but also robust disaster recovery. By moving disaster recovery to the cloud, state and local governments can reduce time and lower cost to recovery while ensuring mission-critical applications and services are available when constituents need them most.

Last fall, ransomware on a web hosting provider forced the company to take its servers offline, causing several state and local government websites across the country to be inaccessible. The pandemic has also increased the threat landscape. Sixty-one percent of local governments have reported an increase in cyber threats since the beginning of the pandemic, according to recent research from the Center for Digital Government (CDG) and Amazon Web Services (AWS).

State and local government organizations can improve IT resilience with cloud-based disaster recovery while strengthening their overall security posture to combat ransomware threats.

Disaster recovery challenges in governmentState and local governments face several challenges when it comes to disaster recovery. Alex Berkov, manager of solutions architecture for CloudEndure Disaster Recovery, offered by AWS, a leading cloud-based disaster recovery and business continuity solution, says theres often confusion about what disaster recovery actually encompasses.

There is a lot of misconception around the difference between backup and disaster recovery. Often what customers call disaster recovery is actually backup, he says. State and local governments need to ensure security controls are also in place for backups as these backups can be impacted by ransomware.

Many organizations also cannot adequately test their environment, Berkov adds. They may not do frequent testing from their backups or they may rely on traditional disaster recovery solutions that require them to spend weekends in a physical data center to run tests. State and local agencies also might rely on a magnetic tape backup solution where they dump data out, back it up, and then save it on a physical tape.

All these processes are so labor- and time-intensive that organizations might only do them on an annual or infrequent basis, which leads to inadvertent security gaps. These security gaps are costly for government agencies and can lead them to pay ransom to help achieve business continuity for critical constituent services. In 2019, governments reported 163 ransomware events, with more than $1.8 million dollars in ransoms paid.2 In 2020, these figures only increased, as outside parties demanded an average payment of just over $570,000, with requested ransoms ranging from $2,500 to $5 million.

Garrett Pollard, a senior enterprise sales specialist for CloudEndure Disaster Recovery at AWS, says its critical for governments to have a comprehensive continuity strategy given ITs increasing value to the business.

IT supports so many different revenue streams that any downtime may pose a significant loss, Pollard says.

Its clear the traditional approach to disaster recovery doesnt give state and local governments the agility they need to quickly and effectively respond when security issues occur.

Optimizing operations with the cloudMoving disaster recovery to the cloud offers cost and operational benefits to state and local governments that can improve their resiliency.

With the cloud, agencies can access a cost-effective data storage solution for their backups instead of building their own solution on premises, says James Perry, solution architect security lead for WorldWide Public Sector, Education, and State and Local Government at AWS. Perry says with managed cloud services, state and local agencies can see more benefits. Cloud-based disaster recovery can also lower total cost of ownership.

Agencies can avoid performing the undifferentiated heavy lifting associated with racking and stacking equipment, hardware procurement processes, and so on, he says.

While agencies can save on technology costs, theres also the somewhat intangible costs associated with time to recovery. In 2020, state and local governments lost 773 days to downtime. In government, this could mean days, if not weeks, when constituent data is compromised or when constituent services and applications arent operating at their full capacity.

Moving to the cloud also allows agencies to take advantage of automation and reduce demands on IT staff. With the cloud, they gain access to advanced disaster recovery capabilities because cloud-based solutions can be more easily upgraded. Additionally, agencies can take advantage of artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to automate threat response.

It gives them the opportunity to focus the IT resources they have on more strategic initiatives, Perry says about cloud- based disaster recovery. Instead of them buying software, managing software inventories, and installing hardware, they can enhance their business applications and deliver value to citizens.

Berkov says moving disaster recovery to the cloud doesnt require massive IT effort for government agencies. Even those who operate in a largely on-premises or hybrid environment can seamlessly make this transition.

Its a very easy entry point for organizations that are either on-prem or hybrid, because it doesnt change how they operate their production infrastructure. They can maintain their production infrastructure, wherever it may be, and the solution can do all the replication, management, and orchestration of their resources, Berkov says.

Some organizations are already seeing improved operational impact from cloud-based disaster recovery. One state agency, for example, experienced a ransomware event that affected its entire on-premises infrastructure, including a database that contained all its employees password information. Backups for the agencys business-critical applications were also compromised during the event, leaving it without any backups from which to recover.

Rather than undergo a lengthy hardware procurement process and entirely rebuild its data center, the agency decided to shift its entire IT operation to the cloud. It was able to restore all of its mission-critical applications in a cloud environment in less than two weeks. The agency also has realized significant cost savings it is now running its IT operation at 40 percent of what it would cost to run it on premises.

Best practices for moving disaster recovery to the cloudDisaster recovery in the cloud addresses several key challenges for state and local agencies by providing a flexible, scalable solution that can reduce time and lower cost to recovery while helping to address budget constraints and minimize unintended security risks.

State and local agencies should consider the following as they transition to cloud-based disaster recovery and compare solutions.

Establish recovery time objectivesBefore a state or local agency enlists the services of a cloud provider, they should clearly map out and understand their disaster recovery needs, Pollard says.

Sit down and take a hard look at your business and establish what your recovery time objectives are for each application. Its a very common exercise where you take a step back, analyze the data, and see what the recovery times are so you can figure out which solution is the best fit, he says.

Plan for flexibility and scalabilityYou need to make sure the solution is effective not just for today, but can handle any future growth, Berkov says. The other thing you need to consider, particularly when it comes to ransomware, is the flexibility and insurance of having different recovery forms. That way, if you are hit by ransomware, your organization can go back to a previous point in time just as quickly as you can fail over.

He adds: The cloud really does, from a scalability perspective, give organizations the option to right-size their disaster recovery environment. You dont need to over- provision anything its scalable and its elastic you only use what you need.

Ensure data governance and compliance Whether an organization operates on premises or in the cloud, good data governance is critical to effective disaster recovery.

Its important for government organizations to have compliance across all of their workloads, which is why they should work with a cloud provider who has public sector expertise and a solid track record of managing these types of workloads.

Perry says some of the questions organizations should ask potential cloud providers include: How do you encrypt the data in transit? How do you encrypt it at rest? How can we make sure that only the right people have access to the data? Theyre [government agencies] often learning about how the cloud operates and all of the compliance benefits it provides. So, theres a learning process, and how to extend their governance processes, auditing, and monitoring [activities] to the cloud is part of that.

Test, test, testTesting is critical when it comes to disaster recovery.

You dont want to wait until an event happens before you test, Berkov says. The cloud opens up the ability for you to test on your own schedule at any time with really no impact. It also allows you to increase the frequency of those tests, so you can make sure that, as your environment changes, you can validate it and verify everything is running properly.

ConclusionFrom ransomware and malware to email phishing schemes and denial-of-service issues, security threats continue to impact state and local governments.

As these organizations try to build a more robust cybersecurity program, effective disaster recovery should be an integral component of their holistic cybersecurity strategy. The traditional approach to disaster recovery with backups from magnetic tape and a reliance on on-premises data centers can be costly and time consuming for state and local governments facing budget cuts and limited IT resources. Government organizations can leverage the cloud to modernize their disaster recovery program and make their IT operations more cost efficient. By doing so, they can improve business continuity and build their resilience.

The challenge state and local governments face is they often dont have IT staff or security experts to build disaster recovery processes internally and execute them in a consistent way on premises, Perry says. One of the greatest benefits of the cloud is that the services you need to combat ransomware whether its patch management, encryption, firewalls, or intrusion detection are provided as managed services in the cloud. Theyre integrated so you have a toolbox thats been built to work together to greatly simplify the IT complexities and challenges your organization faces.

Frequent Disaster Recovery Testing Is Critical To Meeting Recovery Objectives, New iland Study Finds – GlobeNewswire

HOUSTON, June 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- iland, a leading VMware-based provider for application hosting, data protection and disaster recovery services delivered on the iland Secure Cloud Platform, today released the findings of its research into organizations disaster recovery readiness. The study found that as organizations work diligently to support evolving business needs, while at the same time battling cybercrime and other threats to critical data, the majority of disaster recovery solutions are not tested on a regular basis. More importantly, as the IT estate changes over time, the survey indicated most disaster recovery solutions would not meet recovery objectives.

The research, When Plan B Goes Wrong: Avoiding the Pitfalls of DRaaS surveyed 150 technical and business decision makers from organizations drawn from a wide cross-section of U.S. enterprises, each employing a minimum of 500 people. The objectives of the research were to establish what DR systems organizations currently have in place, how often plans are tested and whether enterprises are confident in their ability to recover from disaster as swiftly and easily as possible.

Key findings include:

With the rise in remote work and the frequency and impact of cybercrime growing each year, having a comprehensive disaster recovery strategy in place is critical to ensure organizations can defend, protect and quickly recover from data loss, said Scott Sparvero, CEO at iland. As we found in our research, disaster recovery implementations are on the rise, but regular testing is falling behind. This means that as IT teams deploy new resources to support increasing workload requirements, the disaster recovery plan needs to be updated in kind. Regular testing can quickly uncover any potential disaster recovery shortfalls. Working with a DRaaS provider like iland gives enterprises confidence in their DR solution. Through planned testing intervals, iland ensures that organizations are ready to recover as swiftly and quickly as possible .

While many organizations have been slow to embrace the cloud and DRaaS, the study indicates that the pandemic is likely to be accelerating the transition given the increased focus on remote work and access, said Justin Augat, vice president of product marketing at iland. Enterprises that have not yet done so must give very serious thought to the status of disaster recovery in their organization, and find the right platform to meet expectations of business continuity. iland is proven to protect a customers critical applications, and provides tangible benefits such as real-time replication to an increasing number of businesses.

Google and Ericsson team up to help enterprises apply 5G in their operations – SiliconANGLE News

Google LLC today announced it has inked a partnership with Ericsson to develop new joint offerings that will help enterprises harness ultrafast 5G network connections in their technology projects.

Telecommunications providers worldwide are upgrading their networks to the 5G standard, which promises to enable connections up to 100 times faster than before. Those speedy connections allow enterprises to perform tasks that werent practical until now. Manufacturers, for example, can quickly upload sensor data from their equipment to the cloud for analysis and alert technicians to potential malfunctions in near real-time.

Google is building products that enable organizations apply 5G in their operations with less effort. As part of its strategy, the search giant has partnered with numerous telecommunications providers and tech firms worldwide to help bring its 5G products to more enterprises around the globe. The new partnership with Ericsson, one of the biggest players in the 5G ecosystem, marks a notable milestone in the effort.

Sweden-based Ericsson is a major supplier of networking equipment to the telecommunications sector. The company makes, among other products, hardware and software for building 5G networks. As part of the partnership announced today, Google will work with Ericsson to bring joint offerings to market that will combine their respective technologies to help enterprises use 5G more effectively.

The search giant shared a few early details about the effort this morning as the Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona began its second day. The joint offerings, it said, will be built with the help of D15 Labs, a research and development center operated by Ericsson that has an on-premises 5G network for testing new technologies.

The companies say that theyve already completed functional onboarding of Ericsson 5G on Anthos to enable telco edge and on-premises use cases.

The telco edge is a term that describes an emerging business model whereby carriers lease some of their computing infrastructure to enterprises. A manufacturer, for example, may wish to run the monitoring application it uses to track the health of its factory equipment in close physical proximity to the factory. If a carrier has computing hardware available near the factory, it can make the infrastructure available to the manufacturer, which can in turn use it to host the monitoring application.

This approach is gaining traction because hosting workloads close to a companys assets reduces network latency and thereby speeds up processing. Google is targeting such edge telco use cases with its Anthos platform, which provides a kind of operating system for running applications at the edge of the network in proximity to enterprise assets. Anthos also supports other types of environments.

Google and Ericsson are exploring new ways of combining Anthos and 5G infrastructure not only at the latter firms D15 Labs center but also on a wireless network operated by Italian carrier TIM. The companies are using Googles cloud technology and Ericssons 5G gear for a pilot project focused on running enterprise applications at the edge of the network. The applications, the companies said, aim to help organizations in manufacturing, transportation and a number of other sectors improve operational efficiency.

Organizations have a tremendous opportunity to digitally transform their businesses with 5G and cloud capabilities like artificial intelligence and machine learning at the edge, said Google Cloud Chief Executive Officer Thomas Kurian.

Ann Coulter: Why Is Ancestry.com Protecting White Serial …

This week, the New York Times reported on newlawsin Maryland and Montana that restrict law enforcements use of genealogy databases to catch serial killers. (Maryland I can understand, but Montana? Has someone kidnapped Gov. Greg Gianforte?)

Some of the largest DNA databases Ancestry, 23andMe, and Helix already refuse to share their databases with the police without a court order.

Im sorry, but why? What is their argument? Ancestry doesnt want to lose the business of skittish serial killers?

Everyone agrees that these pro-criminal rules were a direct response to the controversy of law enforcement catching the Golden State Killer in 2018.

Yes, its apparentlycontroversialthat the monster who terrorized California for decades, killing at least 13 people and raping dozens of women, was finally captured with 100 percent accuracy thanks to brilliant detective work and the miracle of DNA.

Sheriffs investigator Paul Holes and FBI lawyer Steve Kramer created a fakeprofileon GEDmatch using DNA from a rape kit of one of the Golden State Killers victims. This produced distant relatives of the rapist, allowing them to build a family tree, leading to Joseph James DeAngelo, then living in a Sacramento suburb. Officers began surveilling DeAngelo, collected his DNA from a car door and discarded tissue and bingo! it matched the Golden State Killers semen sample.

My entire life Ive had to listen to liberals wail about all the innocent people on death row. They pretended to be against murder, just deeply horrified by the idea that we might execute the wrong man.

Now we have the technology to make identifications that are infallible and liberals say we cant use it because of their concern about maintaining the serial killers privacy.

As put by TheHill since you wont believe me otherwise:

Questions intensifiedafter law enforcement officials in California used an ancestry database to help identify the Golden State Killer, a serial killer and rapist who eluded authorities for decades. [emphasis added]

Yeah, that sucks. The whiteex-cop catch that, #BLM? who tortured and raped women while their partners were forced to listen in the next room, then made obscene phone calls to his victims, was finally captured after a 40-year search, whereupon: Questions intensified.

WHAT QUESTIONS? My only questions are:

1) When are the triumphant awards dinners?; and

2) Will #BLM be taking the side of a white cop in this one case?

The Hill continued:

Following thecontroversy[of catching a serial killer for liberals, thats controversial], the largest ancestry companies said they wouldnt allow police to access their databases without a warrant. [emphasis added]

What on earth, Ancestry? Its more important that the ACLU likes you than that a majority of Americans do?

How about taking a poll of your members?Should we allow law enforcement to submit DNA into our database to solve rapes and murders without the necessity of obtaining a court order first?

Yes would be a 90 percent winner, and the other 10 percent would be ACLU types suddenly signing up just to vote. Even criminals would say,Yeah, for a killer, sure, thats fine.Only a few law professors and, of course, the Times Charles Blow, would be against it, which is formidable competition, but I still think we can win this baby!

The objections to allowing police access to genealogical websites consist of vague invocations of privacy. University of Maryland law professor Natalie Ram, for example, told the Times that law enforcements use of genealogical databases was chilling, concerning and privacy-invasive.

Many people find serial killers breaking into their homes, tying them up, and raping them to be chilling, concerning and privacy-invasive, so we seem to be at an impasse.

As with the Golden State Killer, the majority of criminals captured through these databases are going to be white. (Good news for Forensic Files!) Dont be fooled by Ancestrys woke television ads: The vast majority of their members are white. Israeli researchers estimate that they can identify relatives for60 percentof all the Americans of European descent in their database.

Is Ancestry trying to protect white killers? Theyre OK with innocent black men being arrested, while the actual white murderers remain hidden in their database? Have we finally found the beating heart of white supremacy in America?

Or are they just sniveling cowards? Let me guess: Some small group of fanatics wrote a bunch of letters to Ancestry and law enforcement didnt.

OK, lets add up the letters 28 from law professors who oppose allowing law enforcement to use our databases, and no letters in support.

[Ancestry wets pants.]

Law enforcement officers wouldnt be scrolling through personal genetic information. Indeed, they cant view information about specific individuals at all. They submit a DNA profile and, if theres a match to a criminal, an alarm goes off. Nothing comes back unless theres a hit.

Theres an easy solution to any privacy concerns. If you dont want the police finding you through a genealogical database, dont leave your DNA at acrime scene.

But some jackassDemocraticlobbyist formed theCoalitionfor Genetic Data Protection and bullied Ancestry, 23andMe, and Helix into withholding their databases from law enforcement without a warrant, adding a pointless obstacle to bringing killers to justice.

Steve Haro, executive director of the coalition:Hey, congratulate me! I just hamstrung the police in their ability to catch the provably guilty!

If Democrats really gave a crap about privacy, how about a coalition to prevent businesses from selling our names and addresses to third parties? How about prohibiting Google, Facebook, and Apple from spying on us? Can we start there, rather than blocking law enforcement from using genealogical websites to catch criminals with 100 percent, absolute, dead-on accuracy?
