The Steel Maker, POSCO Opted for Altibase in-Memory Database; its Database Related TCO Decreased by 60%

POSCO, the world’s largest steelmaker had opted for Altibase in-memory database over Oracle to get real-time data from its blast furnaces. Due to this, POSCO’s total cost of ownership reduced by 60 percent. The South-Korean steel maker company went for Altibase to upgrade its IT infrastructure for its aging blast furnaces.
The step was taken by POSCO to get a database to detect any flaws in the inner linings of blast furnaces with the help of analyzing a real-time database. Oracle, Oracle TimesTen, and Altibase were the options available for POSCO to choose one. The company rejected both Oracle and Oracle TimesTen after conducting a series of BMTs due to cost issues. Altibase was selected after taking into consideration its performance, high reliability and a reasonable cost of its service.
POSCO’s free utility, Migration Center helped Altibase to shift its data from different data objects from Oracle in a convenient way. Altibase’s ODBC/JDBC drivers facilitated the integration with various other applications. Due to Altibase’s unique parallel receiver apply technique helped to improve the easy replication of data.
There are several other factors which prompted POSCO to choose Altibase than other options. All-in-one hybrid technology of Altibase was the one reason for the company to go for Altibase. This facilitated the storage and manipulation of data in the main memory only which reduced the total cost of ownership as it prevents the need for POSCO to buy an in-memory and a disk-resident database separately. Altibase, being an open-source helped to reduce the costs of a database for POSCO significantly.

The Importance of Cyber Hygiene: Tips from HelpRansomware Experts

Byline: Katreen David
In the digital age, the adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” has never been more relevant.
For Juan Ricardo Palacio and Andrea Baggio of HelpRansomware, the battle against digital threats is a daily reality. Founded in response to the growing menace of ransomware, HelpRansomware has made it its mission to recover data while educating the public on the importance of cyber hygiene.
“Preventing a cyberattack before it happens is crucial. We can safeguard digital assets more effectively by nipping the threat in the bud through vigilant monitoring and proactive measures,” says Baggio.
The Growing Threat of Cybercrime
Cyber threats have become increasingly pervasive and sophisticated, impacting businesses and individuals alike. According to research, there are an estimated 2,000 cyberattacks per day globally. This equates to over 800,000 cyber crimes annually. In line with this, the worldwide cost of cybercrime is projected to reach the $23 trillion mark by 2027.
This alarming figure highlights the critical need for robust cybersecurity practices. HelpRansomware has responded to this challenge by accentuating the importance of preventive measures. “Our goal is to create a safer digital environment where cyber hygiene is as natural as brushing your teeth,” says Palacio.
Cyber Clean: Maintaining Digital Hygiene
HelpRansomware advocates for a proactive outlook on cybersecurity. It offers practical tips for maintaining good cyber hygiene, such as regularly updating software, using strong and unique passwords, developing risk management plans, and educating employees about phishing scams.
“Cyber hygiene is about taking small, consistent actions to protect your digital assets,” explains Palacio. “When we practice good cyber hygiene, the chances of cyber attacks occurring shrink significantly.”
Businesses can significantly reduce cyberattack vulnerability by integrating these practices into daily routines.
HelpRansomware’s Role in Promoting Cyber Hygiene
Beyond recovery services, HelpRansomware is dedicated to raising awareness and providing education on cybersecurity best practices. It conducts workshops and seminars to help organizations understand the importance of cyber hygiene. This unique initiative mirrors the company’s sincere efforts toward shielding the world from the dark side of the web.
“Education is the first line of defense against cyber threats,” emphasizes Baggio. “Francis Bacon’s famous quote will always ring true in every industry: ‘Knowledge is power’.”
HelpRansomware’s efforts are power moves across the board that help businesses recover from attacks. Its checkmate move, however, is its vision to build a culture of prevention that can safeguard against future threats.
In an era where cyber threats lurk around every unlikely corner of the internet, the importance of cyber hygiene cannot be overstated. Through its innovative solutions and educational initiatives, HelpRansomware is leading the pack in promoting better cybersecurity practices. “We believe that a well-informed and vigilant community can defeat cybercrime,” concludes Baggio.
HelpRansomware’s proactive stance on cyber hygiene is setting new standards in the industry. Through education and preventive practices, Andrea Baggio and Juan Ricardo Palacio are fortifying the digital community, making sure that future cyber threats are met with informed and resilient defenses. Cleanliness matters in both the tangible and digital world.
