Knoware update on the Log4j vulnerability & SAS

Knoware update on the Log4j vulnerability & SAS

A serious vulnerability in a piece of open source software called Log4j was recently discovered and reported.

Log4j is widely used in many software products to standardise logging processes and includes parts of SAS Software (most notably Java components).

If the vulnerability is exploited, then an attacker could execute code on the machine running those exposed SAS processes.

Being highly responsive, SAS quickly released a tool and associated instructions on how to find and patch this vulnerability called Logucinno.

Loguccino remediates the Log4j vulnerabilities CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046 within the specified scope of support. SAS recommends that you use Loguccino, where supported, instead of completing manual mitigation or remediation tasks.

If you would prefer Knoware to assist you in implementing this patch for Log4j, then please let us know by contacting us directly via email at support@knoware.co.nz.

Applying Agile to Analytics and BI Seminar

Applying Agile to Analytics and BI Seminar

Date: 25th July 2018

Location: Wellington

Knoware is continuing to run seminars for SAS professionals covering topics that are not covered in other education courses. All seminars are a half day (session).

Presenter:    Nataliya Alkhimova – Knoware

Agile has been successfully embedded into software development for several years now. Its adoption in the fields of Analytics, Business Intelligence (BI) and Data Warehousing (DW) has not been as extensive or successful. Is it because what we do is so different that Agile has no place in our world? Or is it simply due to shortage of information and guidance on how to apply Agile principles and practices to Analytics and BI?

If you are looking to improve the way you do Analytics and BI and you want to learn about effective application of Agile principles and practices, the benefits they can bring, and how to begin that journey – then this seminar is for you. It will provide a solid introduction into Agile and practical information on how to apply it to Analytics and BI.
