Why CIOs (builder & buyer side, both) need to Prioritize Software Bill of Materials In an era where digital security and compliance are paramount, the Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) is emerging as a critical tool for companies committed to transparency, security, and reliability. But what exactly is an SBOM, and why should CIOs insist on one when evaluating software products? An #SBOM is essentially a comprehensive inventory of components within a software product, listing every library, dependency, and third-party component. Much like knowing the ingredients in a food product, having an SBOM ensures that you understand exactly what’s inside your software. This transparency not only helps organizations assess security risks but also enables them to track compliance with regulatory frameworks. Why CIOs Should Care: 1. Security and Risk Management: Understanding every component helps detect vulnerabilities quickly, enabling a faster response to threats and reducing security risks. 2. Regulatory Compliance: With frameworks like GDPR expanding globally, many countries are on the verge of mandating SBOMs as a precondition for software procurement, making them essential for cross-border business. 3. Long-term Reliability: Having a clear record of components ensures software remains sustainable and maintainable as components evolve. At StatusNeo, we work with several forward-thinking product companies, especially out of the Bay Area, to integrate SBOM into their development and governance practices. By establishing SBOMs as a default component of software products, we’re helping our customers ensure the security and compliance of their products. As governments increasingly mandate SBOMs and buyer side CIO’s care more for security and what is under the hood, StatusNeo stands at the forefront of this shift, leading in secure software development and helping our clients proactively meet emerging security and compliance standards. #SBOM #security #productengineering

As we approach 2025, it’s clear that AI is set to become far more than just a tool for improving efficiency. I see it evolving into a strategic enabler, driving innovation and allowing enterprises to deliver hyper-personalized experiences. The days of one-size-fits-all solutions are behind us—businesses will leverage AI to understand customer needs on a deeper level, adapting in real-time to offer tailored products and services. This kind of personalization will be key to staying competitive in a fast-paced market. Another critical area where AI will make its mark is decision-making. The ability to process vast amounts of data and derive actionable insights will empower organizations to make quicker, more informed decisions. No longer will decision-making be limited by human capacity or manual analysis—AI will help enterprises identify trends, optimize processes, and predict outcomes with remarkable accuracy. This will not only improve operations but also open up new opportunities for growth and innovation. Finally, agility will become a defining trait of successful enterprises in the AI-driven future. Businesses that can adapt quickly to changing market conditions and evolving customer expectations will thrive. AI will enable this agility by automating routine tasks, freeing up teams to focus on more strategic initiatives, and continuously learning from data to improve performance. In this sense, AI won’t just be a tool for optimization; it will be a catalyst for transformation. I’m excited to share these insights and dive deeper into the trends that will shape the future of AI in business. As we move forward, those who embrace these changes will be well-positioned to lead in the next era of enterprise innovation. #AI2025 #EnterpriseInnovation #FutureOfAI #BusinessTransformation #AIInsights #TechTrends #DigitalInnovation #AIForBusiness

📢 Exciting News for Bengaluru! 🇺🇸🤝🇮🇳 The US is all set to open a Consulate in Bengaluru, likely by January 2025, as announced by U.S. Ambassador to India Eric Garcetti during an interactive session with the US-India Business Council. This long-awaited milestone marks a significant step in strengthening India-US ties and fostering economic, technological, and cultural collaborations. 🌟 Why this matters: Bengaluru, often called the "Silicon Valley of India," will now host a US Consulate, addressing a long-standing demand from residents and businesses. This development will make visa processing more accessible for residents of Karnataka, reducing the need to travel to Chennai or Hyderabad. It reflects the deepening partnership between India and the US in innovation, trade, and diplomacy. Karnataka’s IT/BT Minister Priyank Kharge hailed the announcement as a “huge boost” for the state’s economic prowess, while Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya expressed pride in seeing this long-pending request come to fruition. As a global hub for technology and innovation, Bengaluru’s new US Consulate will be a game-changer for businesses, students, and professionals alike. Let’s celebrate this exciting chapter in Bengaluru’s journey on the global stage! 🌍✨ Source: PTI via The Hindu, December 20, 2024 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gMdqR7CM #USIndiaRelations #Bengaluru #Innovation #Diplomacy #GlobalCollaboration #SAMSConsultingServices

The NASSCOM Innotrek Experience #9 / 101 In 2015, ActOnMagic was selected to participate in NASSCOM Innotrek, a special program where NASSCOM connects startups with global VCs. It was a wonderful program that provided exposure to TiE Silicon Valley and its ecosystem. We visited the offices of Google, Facebook, Y Combinator, and attended insightful sessions on building startups. These experiences were vital and provided founders with much-needed confidence. As a bootstrapping startup, I hustled a lot (like many other founders). I want to thank my friend Sambath and his family for hosting me at their residence for a week. I recall one VC who shared boldly about how VCs make money and how they choose to spend their time. If I remember correctly, VCs get a percentage of the funds they manage. If they return multiple X returns, they make multiples of that percentage. VCs focus on finding companies that can give 10x, 100x returns. At TiE Silicon Valley, the startup booths were very powerful! I learned lots of marketing tips. I remember a guy wearing a big backpack with messages about his startup and contact details on the outer side. Great exposure! An invaluable experience was travelling with other 39 startup founders in the bus, learning from their experiences and NASSCOM volunteers Reference: https://lnkd.in/gHJRXnxs Have a great day! #vc #startupstory #founder #actonmagic #sweetmantra #siliconvalley #Facebook #google #ycombinator #nasscom #innotrek

This company is everywhere—literally. The flight you traveled on, the app you’re reading this on, and anything built on Java—chances are, Oracle is behind it! And I had the incredible opportunity to meet Cherian Varghese, Sr. VP at Oracle for AI, Cloud Infrastructure Growth Markets, ISV, and MySQL Business - EMEA. In a masterclass filled with insights, Cherian shared not only his journey but also lessons that every professional can learn from. Here are the key takeaways 🚀 : - love for dubai: he calls dubai home—a city that embodies growth, innovation, and transformation, much like his own journey - oracle is everywhere: their influence spans across industries and continents, powering businesses and innovations we use every day - failure fuels growth: he openly shared his experience as a failed entrepreneur and how that shaped his approach to leadership and resilience - adapt to change: change is inevitable and uncomfortable, but those who embrace it are the ones who succeed; from leading billion-dollar businesses to building operations in africa from scratch, he emphasized that success is about adapting and thriving in uncertainty - networking is currency: the relationships you build are the greatest investment you can make; network hard—it’s the key to opening doors and building opportunities - the best stories come from risks: whether it’s taking the leap into the africa division or exploring new markets, the hardest risks lead to the greatest rewards - START READING! - simplicity wins: stop overcomplicating things; focus on what matters, and execute with clarity - corporate entrepreneurship: the mindset of leaders like Larry Ellison revolves around growth; think big, achieve the impossible, and embrace the power of branding - power of manifestation: go all out on whatever you’re working on; inner strength and belief are the biggest drivers of success - depth over breadth: in business, it’s not about doing everything—it’s about doing the right things deeply and effectively From an engineer to becoming the best salesman in any room, his journey is a masterclass in adaptability, resilience, and the power of mindset. A massive thank you to Mr. Varghese for this unforgettable session! 🙌 A huge thanks to Tetr College of Business for making this possible!🪽
