Keeping track: how companies manage it risks in the context of the ukraine conflict

The war in Ukraine is a humanitarian disaster that is costing lives and threatening the global world. This also includes the security of the digital world. The IT threat level has been set to dark red since Russia's attack on Ukraine. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has called on companies, organizations and government agencies to expand their IT security measures. In addition to increased vigilance, it is recommended, among other things, to set up a 24/7 on-call duty, establish crisis teams and, if possible, limit remote access to company computers.

However, companies can and must do even more with regard to their IT assets. It is important to identify potential risks in advance and to manage them proactively – before the worst happens. The basic prerequisite is comprehensive and data-based visibility of hardware, software, SaaS and cloud in the enterprise. Only those who know their IT landscape can defend it from attackers.

Miriam ney, program manager at microsoft

As a Program Manager, I work in product development and am generally responsible for designing and describing new features of software. In my work I define the requirements for the next version by market and customer analysis and then implement them together with software developers. Typical activities include internet research, client meetings, concept presentations, requirements specification and general project management during implementation. A normal workday is characterized by meetings, one-on-one conversations, and office activities that include all of the above, as well as infrequent travel to clients or attendance at conferences with presentations.

Why did you decide to study computer science at that time??

The fun of solving problems logically and the interest in trying out new technologies led me to study computer science. In addition, I was attracted by the wide range of opportunities in computer science, which allow you to take many paths. Furthermore, the possible career fields are diverse and the job opportunities are good.

What are cat-tools? An overview

Please do not confuse: there are people who confuse the use of CAT tools with machine translation. A maschninal translation (MT) is automatic, i.e. without the intervention of a human translator. CAT tools, on the other hand, merely support the translator in his or her work, which is why they are referred to as “computer-assisted translation”. The abbreviation CAT stands for computer-aided translation or. computer-assisted translation.

Components of a CAT tool

Probably the most crucial components of a CAT tool are the translation memory system (TM or TMS) and the terminology database.

Test: lioncast lm20 gaming mouse

The Lioncast LM20 gaming mouse is delivered in a cardboard box in different shades of blue with a hinged front, which is held closed by Velcro fasteners. On the front of the box there is a picture of the mouse, as well as the Lioncast logo and three very important features: 16.400 DPI, 12 buttons and a weight system. On the back is another picture of the mouse and even more details. All information on the box can be read in German as well as in English. When you open the box, you’ll see that besides the mouse, there’s also a manual, a plastic box for the metal rods of the weight system, and a small disc with the mouse’s software. The mouse is also usable without the disc, since it only contains the software to personalize the mouse. But more on that later.

Design, ergonomics and keyboard layout

The LM20 is rather inconspicuous and kept completely in black, while an LED, which can shine in different colors, provides for a visual accent. The sides of the mouse are in glossy black, while the rest is in matte black. The left side has an additional rubberized part, which gives more grip for the thumb. The width of the mouse is pretty good, so the whole hand has room on it and can be used well with any holding technique. The 12 buttons (11 of which are freely programmable) of the mouse are all basically well placed and easy to reach. Only the DPI+ and the DPI- button as well as the “back” button are not so easily accessible during gameplay. However, these shouldn’t be used frequently in games in this form either. Since the keys are programmable, it is recommended not to assign important keys to them. The profile button on the underside is not accessible during normal use, but should also be pressed before starting a game. Most of the buttons are very easy to press and offer a low resistance as well as a short travel and also the 3-way scroll wheel scrolls very precisely and has hardly any resistance. However, this is a bit harder to press than the other buttons. The only other slightly harder button to press is the double-click button, which is located next to the left mouse button at the top. Here I would have expected a little less resistance, even if it’s not really too much, it’s just noticeable.
