Cloudera Data platform (CDP) provides a Shared Data Experience (SDX) for centralized data access control and audit in the Enterprise Data Cloud. The Ranger Authorization Service (RAZ) is a new service added to help provide fine-grained access control (FGAC) for cloud storage. We covered the value this new capability provides in a previous blog.
Unless you’ve hidden under a rock for the past decade, you can’t have failed to notice that data in today’s enterprise is very much alive. It’s always moving, constantly changing, and we’re continually using it to create new business value. However, while data fluidity and visibility have blossomed, the opportunity to use that data to drive business actions seems to have withered in comparison.
If someone steals your password, they can pretend to be you. That's why many companies provide two-factor or multi-factor authentication via a fingerprint scan, a YubiKey, an authenticator app, or SMS. In this article, Petr Hlavicka will give you a solid foundation of knowledge about multi-factor authentication and will walk you through implementation with Rails, Webauthn, and Devise
In a recent webinar by TDWI, 45% of analysts reported that “every day seems to be a different fire drill.” No surprise to anyone in the industry. As much as analysts need to be focused on more strategic tasks, their skills are frequently deployed to answer basic questions. Greater self-service capabilities for end-users would no doubt alleviate these fire drills, but this is not yet a reality for the majority of companies.
Apart from being a synonym to a sandal, a ruby flip-flop refers to a system that comprises two alternating (on/off) states that one can switch between. This can be pretty helpful when you want to loop through arrays and capture contiguous subsets that lie between specific bounds (you’ll understand more of what I mean as you read along). However, not many programming languages have leveraged a mechanism like this.
Payments testing mimics each step of the payment process to verify that connections, transactions, and paths for communications are working. The best payments testing strategies include a thorough range of tests, from functional to performance to location. Need a place to start? Follow this checklist when developing a payment gateway testing strategy. A good strategy should detail exactly what information is needed, common flags for problems, and the markers of a successful payment gateway.
Without payments gateway testing, you risk cart abandonment, over or under-payments, penalties, and increased customer support costs. These risks occur when web or mobile app payment transactions run into issues. To avoid these issues, online retailers should create test cases, conduct periodic checks, and update their processes to ensure the system’s integrity. From functional testing to usability testing, there are many ways to test payment processing.
