5 Cloud Computing Growth Stocks to Buy Right Now

Cloud computing is a transformational technology that helps companies move their operations online, whether they're analyzing data or building machine learning models. It makes collaboration possible among teams that are working in different locations, connecting organizations across borders like never before.

The industry continues to broaden as companies innovate and find new ways to apply the technology, which is driving growth forward. Estimates suggest the cloud computing market could be worth $483 billion in 2022 and could triple by 2030 to over $1.5 trillion.

That's a significant opportunity for these five companies that offer cloud services to their customers. Here's why their stocks are a buy right now.

Cloud services are likely not the first thing most people think of when they hear the name Amazon (AMZN 5.73%). After all, it's best known for being the largest e-commerce company in the world. But its cloud segment, Amazon Web Services (AWS), leads the industry, and it's the profit engine behind the entire company.

Amazon began offering online storage services in 2006, making it one of the oldest players in the cloud business. Since then, AWS has grown to offer hundreds of different services including web hosting, data analytics, and advanced tech like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.

AWS generated $62 billion in revenue during 2021, accounting for 13% of Amazon's total revenue of $470 billion. But the profitability picture is reversed, because despite being a minority of Amazon's sales, AWS delivered 74% of the company's overall operating income for the year.

Along with its cloud services, Amazon continues to diversify its business into new areas like advertising and electric vehicles, making it a great diversified long-term bet for investors.

While Amazon Web Services operates at the rich end of the cloud industry, DigitalOcean Holdings (DOCN 12.23%) has found an edge in the smaller end of the market. It focuses on serving small to mid-sized businesses, and it's beating its competitors on price, service, and ease of use.

DigitalOcean makes deploying virtual machines simple with a suite of one-click features, and its services are up to 41% cheaper than AWS depending on the configuration. And at $0.01 per gigabyte per month for bandwidth, it's 80% cheaper than its nearest competitor. Whether you're building apps, managing databases, or in need of storage, DigitalOcean's monthly plans range between $0 and $15 as a starting point, making them affordable for even the smallest of start-ups.

The company now serves over 609,000 businesses, with its revenue per customer hitting an all-time high of $65.87 in 2021. DigitalOcean estimates that by 2025, its annual market opportunity will be worth $145 billion. Given it generated just $429 million in revenue last year, it has a long runway for growth.

The third cloud computing stock investors should buy right now is Splunk (SPLK 8.57%). It's a leader in machine learning, with a renewed focus on delivering its suite of advanced technology in the cloud to make it accessible quickly and easily, from anywhere. Splunk currently serves 96 of the Fortune 100 companies, as demand climbs for a technological edge among large organizations.

Splunk's customers use machine learning in different ways. E-commerce companies use it to monitor sales channels, predict technical issues, and reduce downtime. Manufacturers integrate it with critical facility operations and equipment to help it ingest mountains of data, which is used to improve efficiency and monitor for potential costly failures. Overall, machine learning is an incredibly valuable tool that is further enhanced by the cloud.

Splunk's cloud revenue growth is far outpacing its total revenue growth. Cloud sales grew by 70% in the just-ended fiscal year 2022, compared to just 19% for total sales. Cloud revenue also continued to expand to become 35% of Splunk's $2.67 billion total revenue base, compared to 24% last fiscal year.

The company recently appointed a new CEO with extensive experience in the software-as-a-service (SaaS) space, who is expected to help to drive growth going forward.

Alphabet (GOOG 2.96%)(GOOGL 2.84%) is best known as the parent company of Google. While search remains its flagship service, Google Cloud has become a formidable player in the cloud industry, offering a suite of tools including documents, storage, and even a low-code artificial intelligence platform.

Its cloud-based Vision AI platform can be trained to scan images to identify objects, faces, and even locations, in addition to hosting advanced text and speech recognition tools. But Google Cloud also offers a portfolio of essential services that include virtual machines and data analytics, which places it alongside its larger competitors like Amazon Web Services.

Alphabet is a $1.7 trillion company, yet it's still generating staggering growth. In 2021, it grew revenue by 41% to $257 billion, and although the Cloud segment made up just 7.4% of that number, it delivered 47% growth, which outpaced the company overall.

Clearly, the Alphabet investment story is about more than just cloud services -- you also gain exposure to its burgeoning search business, and even its video platform, YouTube. It's truly a company of the future that has the quality to anchor any portfolio.

The final cloud computing stock investors should buy right now is Microsoft (MSFT 2.26%). While Microsoft is best known for its Windows operating system and Office 365 document suite, which are used by billions of people worldwide, its largest segment by revenue is now its Azure segment. Azure has been in a fierce battle with AWS for top spot in the industry in recent years, although Microsoft has often come out second-best.

But owning Microsoft stock gets you even more than the impressive assets named above. Despite being a software specialist, the company has a strong hardware footprint with its Xbox gaming platform and its Surface line of notebooks and tablets. Both of these are billion-dollar brands on their own, and Microsoft's gaming business could get a huge lift if it completes its $68 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard, which is currently under government review.

When it comes to the cloud segment, Microsoft's Azure platform is the foundation. It offers over 200 products used by a diverse suite of industries from gaming to financial services to healthcare. In the first half of fiscal 2022, Microsoft's intelligent cloud segment has generated $35 billion in revenue, growing at 28% compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2021, outpacing Microsoft's overall revenue growth of 21%.

Owning Microsoft stock offers diversity in its own right, and it's the perfect long-term opportunity to ride the soaring cloud industry alongside a group of other best-in-class tech businesses.

How the Army is battle-testing cloud computing – FCW.com

The Army is in the midst of a significant shift in how it buys, builds and delivers technological capabilities to warfighters. At the crux of those plans is a cloud infrastructure called cArmy that can deliver communications, tools and sensor data so commanders can have a clear digital picture of the battlespace and make crucial decisions more quickly.

The Army created its Enterprise Cloud Management Office in 2019 to mold those plans. That office was elevated to an agency last year and is now focusing on modernizing business systems and implementing enterprise solutions, such as migrating from the Defense Department's temporary telework-friendly Microsoft Teams environment to the more permanent Army 365 solution.

2020 was about laying the foundation for cArmy, 2021 was about migrating business systems and tweaking the processes that come with them, and now 2022 is about going global and expanding the Army's cloud offerings.

Paul Puckett, director of the Enterprise Cloud Management Agency, told FCW that priorities this year focus on determining "the opportunity truly in the tactical domain to leverage cloud computing and then start to deliver really persistent mission command as a service for the Army. That mission is going to drive us to invest heavily in understanding and then leveraging" cloud computing capabilities outside the continental U.S. while tying the enterprise and tactical domains together under a unified network.

Creating a global digital infrastructure

ECMA's efforts also build on the Army's digital transformation plan, which outlines how the service will use technology to change the way it conducts business operations and warfighting. As a result, Puckett said, "cloud really then becomes the global digital infrastructure that that mission is essentially executed on."

Army CIO Raj Iyer has promised shifts in IT policy, chiefly through the recently released Digital Transformation Strategy and the subcomponent Unified Network Plan. Cloud infrastructure is a major element of several other recent DOD strategies related to data, software modernization and the vision for Joint All-Domain Command and Control for which the Army shares some responsibility.

Puckett said all those strategies intersect, and ECMA's job is to ensure that they are coherent and usable across the Army. "We're typically talking about the way we want to fight, the way we want to work, where and how our data and our software [are] just available when we need [them]," he added. "And that's so much from the operational perspective. But then we have to understand that someone is designing digital infrastructure that actually enables that outcome. In that intersection between the two is where we've gone awry in the past decades."

Part of ECMA's mission is to design and deploy that digital infrastructure and determine the computing and storage footprint and the common services that will come with it, while also understanding its limitations and opportunities.

"One of the critical components of cloud infrastructure is broad network access," Puckett said. "We're naturally constrained when it comes to our ability to leverage [geosynchronous Earth orbit]. And how can we start to tap into [low Earth orbit] and [medium Earth orbit]? Where are those ground stations going to be? What is their connectivity? Where's the first hop when it comes to computing resources that are going to enable that persistent mission command?"

Those questions become increasingly important as the Army experiments with tactical cloud outside the continental U.S. because preserving data sovereignty involves bringing the necessary computing and storage to the network's edge. Partnerships and experimentation are crucial to success.

"Everyone acknowledges that the role they have to play is immediate feedback for immediate experimentation," Puckett said. "And then how do we take that experimentation and, if it's successful, turn it into the new way that the Army does business? We've already demonstrated the value of persistent mission command as a service specific to this effort" through the Cobra Gold multinational military exercise and ongoing capabilities in contested environments.

In the future, mission command as a service could have an impact on how the Army trains and structures its forces, he added.

Experimenting with cloud in theater

Those efforts are part of a broader strategy for cloud-enabled mission command. As part of that, the Army has been testing its Command Post Computing Environment (CPCE), which provides a common operating picture so that commanders or their staffs can "look at one screen and be able to see all of the operational data that is important for his or her mission," said Col. Matthew Paul, project manager for mission command at the Army's Program Executive Office for Command, Control and Communications-Tactical. "So everybody has the same sight picture of where their friendly forces are, where the enemy forces are, what do we need to do for our mission, where are the [operational] risks."

CPCE is not cloud-contingent, but certain units that are experimenting with it including the 82nd Airborne Division, 101st Airborne Division and 18th Airborne Corps have volunteered to try the cloud-capable option with help from ECMA. After Cobra Gold, the 18th Airborne Corps' Project Ridgway will continue testing mission command as a service.

Mission command cloud services are also being utilized by I Corps, III Corps, V Corps, U.S. Army Pacific, and U.S. Army Europe and Africa's G-3 Mission Command Support Division at maturity levels, Puckett said. The goal is to create greater structure and repeatability while enhancing training, operational readiness, and tactics, techniques and procedures.

Paul said officials plan to align CPCE with the Army's data strategy, which is heavily reliant on the ability to house data and applications in a cloud environment. "That simplifies how we exchange data between different echelons, and it provides a capability for the tactical formations that they don't have today a capability that's persistent, that they can reach wherever they [are] in the battlefield," he added, noting that field testing began as soon as applications could be moved to the cloud environment.

Although continued experimentation this year seeks to answer technical questions, officials also want to address challenges related to doctrine and how the units use the capability. "There are certainly technical challenges to overcome, which we will," Paul said. "But we're experimenting so we're still trying to figure out what the unknown unknowns are as we leap into the cloud."

Many of the technical challenges are security related and include ensuring that performance and security coalesce and finding the right mix of cloud and on-premises services.

"I think we're trying to find that right sweet spot," Paul said. "Commercial cloud offers a lot of great things. And we want to try to find how using commercial cloud [is] congruent with our current posture for how we configure networks and how we assign certain roles and access for things like data. We've got to harmonize that. That's not an easy problem to solve, but it is solvable. And some of that is technical, but some of it is policy-related as well."

The other challenge is updating systems at the speed of feedback, Paul said. "We get a lot of feedback in the field, and being able to roll that feedback into our software development process or DevOps pipeline quicker so they can get the capability they need quicker is a challenge," he added. "So that's something we're certainly trying to align to."

Making a foundational change

Lt. Col. Phil Smith, data systems development officer for the Army's Network Cross-Functional Team, said it's important to note that the Army isn't completely moving to tactical cloud, and the trick has been harmonizing cloud and non-cloud infrastructure.

"We're not advocating a wholesale move to cloud with capabilities and not having anything at the physical location with the units," added Smith, who has been instrumental in bridging cloud technology for CPCE testing. "So I think paramount to understanding across the Army when we talk about these things is they have to work in concert with the soldier on the edge. That is, to be honest with you, part of the bigger technical challenges that we're having."

There is still testing to be done, but the potential payoff is worth the effort. "It takes a little vision to be able to [say]: 'Hey, this new capability, here's what we could do with this in the future,'" Smith said. "It's a foundational change we're trying to make thatif it's successful and if it becomes a thing, it's going to have lasting effects in a beneficial way down the road."

The second phase of CPCE will build on the experimentation and be incorporated into future capability sets being developed by the Army's Network Cross Functional Team for 2023.

2022 Cloud Computing Cybersecurity Threats and Trends – RTInsights

Cybersecurity must become as flexible as the architecture itself to help companies pivot quickly and respond even faster. Continuous intelligence can help.

Cloud computing offers enterprises the flexibility and proficiency to not only gather vast amounts of data but put it in motion for real-time insights. The downside to moving to the cloud is that new cybersecurity challenges arise. These are some of the most pervasive cloud computing threats for the coming years and what some enterprises are doing now to mitigate the risk.

The cloud offers an attractive place for threat actors to focus their efforts. Enterprises are layered with systems, creating loopholes that allow cybersecurity threats to work their way into systems far from where the original source of weakness was located. Add in the millions, even billions of data assets IT teams manage, and you have a massive potential to overwhelm during monitoring alone.

According to a report from Checkpoint Security, cyberattacks were on the rise last year. This is also worrying because we often see an increase in certain types of attacks as they prove lucrative, but its rarer to see a general increase. Better automation and tools that allow companies to run their businesses have also created better tools for cyberattacks. Companies will have to approach their security strategies with the same thoughtful automation.

Cloud services are also a primary target because of pandemic-related activities. The pandemic caused an acceleration in cloud adoption as companies tried to adjust to lockdown and other changes in how we work.

Now its been two years. Companies and their third-party service providers have had the opportunity to close many of those early security loopholes caused by rapid movement and have largely been successful. However, vulnerability still exists within cloud infrastructure, providing opportunities despite greater security measures.

See also: Why Continuous Intelligence is Essential for Modern Security Operations

Remote work caused an uptick in employees working from their personal devicesconvenient for the enterprise during a pandemic and convenient for threat actors. Although it facilitates productivity from a work-from-home space, it decreases visibility for IT teams stretched to the limits.

Different phishing scams, including smishing or malicious links sent through SMS, can be difficult to track or spot until its too late to alleviate the damage. Personal devices may offer far less security than company devices or those hardwired to a network, so companies must adapt their approaches to employees accessing the company cloud from home.

Mobile devices create insecure access points across the network. Application programming interfaces allow users to access cloud-based products no matter where they are, but they can be ports of entry for malicious actors. Even with authentication, some hackers can exploit these vulnerabilities due to a lack of visibility or phishing.

See also: What Makes Cloud Observability Critical and Different?

Companies will continue to fight for crucial IT talent to implement security measures for increasing cloud attack surfaces. However, they wont be able to solve all their problems through hiring. Instead, theyll need to take other innovative measures and adopt the tools and processes to increase visibility and automate responses.

Automation helps support IT teams by identifying and then prioritizing flags for monitoring. Human teams can step in to verify if potential attacks are occurring and plug holes. In addition, machine automation can help outline complex relationships between devices, entitlements, and the network.

Gartner identified cybersecurity mesh as a key security feature in its list of top strategic tech trends for 2022. Cybersecurity mesh mimics the move towards flexible, composable architecture by allowing companies to reconfigure their cybersecurity protocols to match needs in real-time. It helps companies integrate distributed security services. The mesh would allow IT professionals and administration to verify identities, provide context, and ensure policy adherence across the entire system.

Experts identify cybersecurity mesh as a process that allows companies to integrate cloud services into their zero trust architecture as a whole. End-point detection and response, as well as multi-factor authentication, also fit into the security process here.

Cloud-native platforms and tools also have a place in the overall security strategy. These products and tools make security easier because they make the most of what the cloud offers and then protect those assets the way cloud products need. Most importantly, it helps enterprises maintain visibility where they need it.

Reducing the cloud attack surface is also required. Quick response times will also reduce the amount of damage hackers are able to do. Either way, cloud attacks will become more commonplace, and companies should be ready.

Companies still in the early stages of their cloud migration will be more vulnerable than those with a more mature cloud strategy. Those companies understand their attack surface and cloud landscape, giving them a better opportunity to handle the basics.

And thats what many of these security attacks are. While truly complex threats exist, many of the most pervasive phishing and ransomware are still simple. That means that less mature companies arent doing the foundational work of creating a secure cloud architecture and training their people to be on the lookout for anomalies. IT cant handle everything. Mature companies know this and work with employees to ensure that private devices are handled with proper security protocols and zero trust remains in place.

Organizations cant turn back the clock on remote work or cloud migration, but they can implement basic security protocols that help protect cloud assets. With processes such as cybersecurity mesh, companies can adapt their security infrastructure to help meet the basic requirements that cybersecurity requires today.

Thats the biggest trend moving forwardadaptability. Cybersecurity must become as flexible as the architecture itself to help companies pivot quickly and respond even faster. This is the only way companies will be able to implement an integrated, cohesive, and, most importantly, automated security infrastructure.

Select Report Findings:

Cloud robotics is distinguished from the general field of electromechanical automation through its use of teleoperation as well as reliance upon various cloud computing technologies such as computing and storage as well as the emerging cloud-based business models enabling robotics-as-a-service. In addition, cloud robotics will benefit greatly from edge computing technologies, such as Mobile Edge Computing (MEC), as well as the commercial introduction of 5G New Radio (5GNR) technologies based on millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies.

The combination of robotics, teleoperation, MEC, and core cloud technologies is poised to transform enterprise operations, industrial processes, and consumer services across many industry verticals. Both purpose-built and general-purpose robotics segments will benefit greatly from cloud operations as well as both terrestrial and aerial robots. In the case of the latter, mass consumerization will occur as end-users become accustomed to autonomous and remote-control robots for many different personal services tasks.

The cloud robotics market will usher into existence a much broader array of robotics services. This is due to several factors including much more flexible services execution, reduced operational friction (such as fewer proprietary interfaces), and improved economics through robotics-as-a-service in a cloud-based application model. Initially, industrial and government clients will see the greatest benefit, followed by the enterprise in certain leading industry verticals. The cloud robotics market will eventually open up to consumers in a limited manner.

Thanks to 5GNR wireless support, many cloud robotics applications will be untethered and portable, but not highly mobile due to line of sight (LOS) limitations of mmWave propagation. However, LOS will be adequate for many cloud robotics market applications such as those found in military and industrial solutions.

IBM customers interested in the cloud can now run its software on AWS – Protocol

There are plenty of strategic collaboration agreements signed by cloud providers, but file this one under the category of if you cant beat them, join them. IBM, which has failed to get a substantial foothold in the cloud computing race, announced Wednesday it had signed a deal with the industrys top cloud provider to offer its software portfolio as a service on AWS.

Customers using AWS will be able to access IBM software for automation, data and artificial intelligence, security and sustainability thats built on Red Hat OpenShift Service on AWS, IBM said in a press release.

The IBM SaaS products that will be available as cloud-native services running on AWS initially will include IBM API Connect, IBM Db2, IBM Observability by Instana APM, IBM Maximo Application Suite, IBM Security ReaQta, IBM Security Trusteer, IBM Security Verify and IBM Watson Orchestrate. Theyll be sold through AWS Marketplace, an online store of third-party software, data and services, with out-of-the-box integration with AWS services and support for API, CloudFormation and Terraform templates.

"As hybrid cloud continues to become the reality for our clients, IBM is ready and willing to meet them with a flexible and cloud-native software portfolio wherever they are in the cloud or in data centers," Tom Rosamilia, senior vice president of IBM Software, said in a statement. "By deepening our collaboration with AWS, we're taking another major step in giving organizations the ability to choose the hybrid cloud model that works best for their own needs and workloads, freeing them up to instead focus on solving their most pressing business challenges."

The multiyear deal will include joint sales and marketing efforts, incentives for channel partners, developer enablement and training, and the development of products for industry verticals including oil and gas and travel and transportation, according to the companies.

IBM is in a very, very distant fifth place among cloud computing providers thanks in part to contributing revenue from Kyndryl, which it spun out last year as an independent company providing managed infrastructure services. IBM/Kyndryl claimed 4% market share of first-quarter enterprise spending on cloud infrastructure services, according to Synergy Research Group, well behind AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, and trailing Chinas Alibaba Cloud.

IBM said the agreement builds on its SaaS products available on its own IBM Cloud and complements its 30-plus software products that can be deployed manually through AWS Marketplace and customers with bring-your-own-license capabilities.

Gem-TRX was also introduced in 2018, and it is one of the most reputable TRON cloud mining companies and service providers. The goal of GemTRX is to provide significant returns on its users investments and maximize their interests by leveraging enormous wealth with comparatively lower capital.

The company seeks long-term strategic partnerships with a variety of partners to ensure that its users have a simple TRON cloud mining experience. It offers daily returns to its users, which they can withdraw in TRX tokens from the platform. GemTRX is a laser-focused TRON cloud mining service that has propelled the platform to the top of the crypto blockchain service providers.

TRONs digital currency enables low-cost mining. In comparison to other companies that offer cloud mining services, GemTRX users benefit from low minimum deposits that begin at 5 TRX. While TRX users earnings are relatively low, it is an excellent option for low entry costs to experiment and become acquainted with the platform.

Users who want to begin their cloud mining journeys with GemTRX can go to the platforms official website, sign up with their email address, create an account to deposit Tron tokens and begin receiving returns right away.

Cloud mining is a mechanism to mine a cryptocurrency, such as bitcoin, using rented cloud computing power and without having to install and directly run the hardware and related software. Cloud mining firms allow people to open an account and remotely participate in the process of cryptocurrency mining for a basic cost, making mining accessible to a wider number of people across the world. Since this form of mining is done via the cloud, it reduces issues such as maintenance of equipment or direct energy costs.

Cloud mining leverages cloud computing for the purpose of producing blockchain-based cryptocurrencies. Cloud computing, more generally, is one of the fastest-growing technology trends wherein computing services such as processing, server capacity, database services, software, and file storage are accessed via the cloud, over the Internet. Such companies charge on a usage basis just like we pay for our water or electricity usage.

On the other hand, mining is the backbone of the cryptocurrency model, such as TRX. It is the process by which transactions are verified and added to the public ledger, known as the blockchain. It is also the means through which new coins are released. A combination of the two opens the world of mining to people at distant locations with little or no technical knowledge and hardware infrastructure.

Tron is a blockchain-based decentralized digital platform with its own cryptocurrency, called Tronix or TRX. Founded in 2017 by a Singapore non-profit organization, the Tron Foundation, Tron aims to host a global entertainment system for the cost-effective sharing of digital content.

Tron uses the features of the blockchain and peer-to-peer (P2P) network technology to eliminate the middleman and allow content creators to sell their work directly to consumers. Software developers use the Solidity programming language to create apps that are hosted on the Tron platform.

The currency used on the network is Tronix, or TRX. Users of the network use TRX to directly pay the content creators to access their applications. Content creators do not pay a transaction fee to Tron. (TRX transactions also are free on the platform.)

Tron utilizes a delegated proof-of-stake system, which means it uses far less power than competing currencies like Bitcoin. Trons architecture gives the Tron network the ability to handle far more transactions at a time than proof-of-work systems.

D-Wave puts a third quantum computer in the cloud – CIO

While viable general-purpose quantum computing is still a way off, D-Wave Systems has just deployed its third cloud-based quantum annealing system and has updated its coding tools to tackle new categories of enterprise optimization problems.

Like its predecessors, D-Waves third Advantage system can be accessed via D-Waves own Leap quantum cloud or, beginning May 12, AWSs Amazon Braket service. The new machine is hosted at the University of Southern Californias Information Sciences Institute in Marina Del Rey, Calif.; the others are at D-Waves headquarters in Burnaby, British Columbia, and in Germanys Forschungszentrum Jlich supercomputing center.

D-Waves Advantage boasts over 5,000 qubits, seemingly putting it ahead of quantum rivals such as IBM, which announced plans earlier in the week to build a 4,000-qubit machine by 2025.

But not all qubits, which are a measure of a quantum computers processing capacity, are equal. D-Wave uses a technique called quantum annealing in its machines, whereas most other companies working on quantum computing including IBM, Quantinuum (a subsidiary of Honeywell), Rigetti Computing, and IonQ are using a quantum gate-based approach. (In October 2021, D-Wave said it had also started researching quantum gates, but the company doesnt have any gate-based products on the market yet.)

Quantum annealing can be used to improve certain kinds of optimization algorithms, but its not the general-purpose computing tool that gate-based quantum computers are intended to be.

Error-corrected gate-based systems will be capable of simultaneously working with larger quantities of data than quantum annealing systems, said Murray Thom, D-Waves vice president of product management. Thats going to be really important in applications like quantum chemistry simulation, or if youre working with differential equations, he said. Gate-based systems may also pose a threat to many of todays encryption algorithms, an eventuality that enterprises are beginning to prepare for.

On the other hand, quantum annealing works well for optimization problems where the goal is to find a maximum in a hilly landscape of solutions (or the minimum in a series of valleys) in the shortest time. Conventional computing might take a hill-climbing approach, repeatedly varying parameters to find a solution a little better than the current one, until it has found the local maximum but perhaps not the highest hill on the map. Quantum annealing offers a way to hop to another, perhaps higher, hill and climb to the top of that one instead, and derives its name from a classical computing technique called simulated annealing that takes a similar approach but uses random numbers rather than physical quantum phenomena to find higher hills to climb.

A white paper published by D-Wave in 2021 showed how a classical computing system and a hybrid quantum annealing system would ultimately converge on the same optimum result given enough time, but that the quantum annealing system would deliver a better result if time was limited.

Viable gate-based systems are a way off yet, while D-Waves quantum annealing systems are on the market and have already been used by companies wanting to test out their potential to speed up optimization. Thom pointed to Volkswagen, which has used D-Wave systems to look for ways to optimize the ordering of paint-shop jobs by scheduling to minimize changes of paint type.

To help CIOs put its Advantage computers to work on problems like that, D-Wave has developed a series of hybrid solvers for optimization problems that can break up calculations into chunks, using its quantum annealing systems to nudge classical computing systems toward better solutions then reporting back on the best one found in a given time.

D-Wave has now enhanced its cloud-based Constrained Quadratic Model (CQM) hybrid solver to find optimal solutions to problems involving continuous variables, where previously it could handle only integers and other discrete data types.

This will equip enterprises to experiment with, for example, calculating vehicle routes based on continuous quantities such as distance and wait time, or optimize loading of trucks to minimize the space between differently shaped cartons.

This is really going to allow CIOs to get some answers to important questions theyre considering in terms of Where in my organization is quantum computing going to really have its biggest impact? said D-Waves Thom.

What potential customers really need is a way to identify which problems are susceptible to being accelerated by quantum annealing systems, and which ones quantum annealing cant help with.

For now thats more of a manual process: D-Wave sends in a team of experts to examine the computing problems a company wants help accelerating, advise them on which ones to focus on, and help build a proof of concept.

Thats very attractive to CIOs who are looking at how to make their businesses more efficient, Thom said, adding that it can help them respond in the kind of market stresses that theyre seeing today.

Cloud Security Alliance Issues Best Practices for Healthcare Delivery Organizations (HDO) to Mitigate Supply Chain Cyber Risks – Business Wire

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the worlds leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment, today released a new paper, Healthcare Supply Chain Cybersecurity Risk Management. Drafted by the Health Information Management Working Group, the report provides best practices that healthcare delivery organizations (HDOs) can use to manage the cybersecurity risks associated with their supply chains.

HDOs face risks from many different types of supply chain vendors, everything from food suppliers, software providers, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and day-to-day medical supplies. This complexity and extended interdependency dramatically increases the consequences of a cyber incident, ranging from the leakage of sensitive personal information to the disruption of the actual provision of the supply chain.

Healthcare delivery organizations spend billions of dollars across thousands of suppliers each year. However, research indicates that current approaches to assessing and managing vendor risks are failing. The move to the cloud and edge computing have expanded HDOs electronic perimeters, not only making it harder for them to secure their infrastructure but also making them more attractive targets for cyberattacks. Given the importance of the supply chain, its critical that HDOs identify, assess, and mitigate supply chain cyber risks to ensure their business resilience, said Dr. James Angle, the papers lead author and co-chair of the Health Information Management Working Group.

Cyberattacks are more costly than ever as HDOs and their suppliers remain high-value targets. Moreover, problems with current approaches to supply chain risk management are creating additional economic burdens as organizations are experiencing an increase in fines and investigations from the Department of Health and Human Services and the Office of Civil Rights.

Unfortunately, supply chain exploitation is not just a potential risk, it is a reality. An insecure supply chain can significantly impact an HDOs risk profile and security, not to mention its bottom line, said Michael Roza, risk, audit, control, and compliance professional, CSA Fellow and a contributor to the paper. Its incumbent on HDOs, therefore, to ensure that their supply chain partners comply with data management policies in order to keep their organizations and their users safe.

When addressing cyber risk and security within the supply chain, its recommended that HDOs:
