Today we are launching a dedicated Year In Review page with interactive maps and charts where you can explore what changed on the Internet in 2020. Year In Review is part of Cloudflare Radar.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: always interesting to track internet traffic from the infrastructure providers. Here Cloudflare but also Akamai, etc.

Credential abuse and botnets abusing retailer inventories is a rising problem that needs attention. On average, organizations report experiencing 12.7 credential stuffing attempts each month, with each attempt targeting 1,252 accounts. We detected nearly 28 billion credential stuffing attempts between May and December 2018. Within the retail industry, the apparel vertical, experienced 3.7 billion attempts on its own, making it the largest targeted industry during the same timeframe. So why is retail, as well as apparel, such at hot target? Short answer? Money.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: I find the number just huge and thus a cause for concern in the design of my systems, strategies and recommendations to my clients. I also include the definition of credential stuffing because 1) I did not know and 2) it shines a light into the power of having a global CDN network to perform those analyses...
Credential abuse attempts were identified as unsuccessful login attempts for accounts using an email address as a username. In order to identify abuse attempts, as opposed to real users who can’t type, two different algorithms are used. The first is a simple volumetric rule that counts the number of login errors to a specific address. This differs from what a single organization might be able to detect because Akamai is correlating data across hundreds of organizations.

This chart shows the cloud infrastructure services market worldwide from Q1 2016 to Q2 2019.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: a key component of digital transformation is moving to cloud infrastructure and services like AWS, Azure, Google, Salesforce, etc. The growth is the reflection that digital transformation is a reality for many organizations. Yet most organizations still have most of their IT servers and infrastructure in house, leaving a lot of room for growth in the future.

In mature markets like Web Content Management, there is almost always a single proprietary leader and a single Open Source leader. There is Oracle and MongoDB. Splunk and Elastic. VMWare and Docker. Gitlab and Github. That is why I believe that next year it will be Acquia and Adobe at the very top of the WCM Magic Quadrant. Sitecore and Episerver will continue to fight for third place among companies who prefer a Microsoft-centric approach. I was not surprised to see Sitecore move down this year as they work to overcome technical product debt and cloud transition, leading to strange decisions like acquiring a services company.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: this analysis is spot on. There are 2 main platforms for large enterprises, Adobe and Acquia. I find the rise of episerver in the Microsoft area, from an ecommerce company into a full web platform very much worth taking notice.

Gartner defines web content management (WCM) as the process of creating, managing and delivering content over one or more digital channels through the use of specific management solutions based on a core repository. These solutions may be procured as commercial products, open-source tools, cloud services or hosted services. The functionality of WCM solutions goes beyond simply publishing webpages. It also includes:
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: quadrants are very interesting because they show progress year over year and provide insights into the market leaders and key trends. So take the included solutions and their relative position with a grain of salt, but read the content to understand how complex the world of web content management has become. Choice is difficult, at best.

This chart shows a distribution of worldwide downstream traffic, by web application in 2018.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: I reported in 2015 that Netflix + YouTube accounted for 55% of web traffic. Their share is down only because the other streaming video services are growing. Also interesting from this chart that HTTP (good old web browsing), now only accounts for less than 10%. This means video is the medium of choice, cable TV is on it's way out (so expect more growth) and 5G mobile coverage will be in high demand when it becomes available soon... 2015 reference is here: http://fmcs.digital/blog/netflix-youtube-55-of-internet-traffic/

In an evermore connected world, large-scale cyberattacks and online threats to businesses are rising exponentially. The Cyber-Risk & Resilience special report, published in The Sunday Times, features insights into the impact cybercriminals can inflict on organisations and individuals. From chatbots spreading fake news, risks concerning personal data, biometrics and fraud, as well as tackling phishing emails, the potential dangers are unprecedented. Also included is an infographic on why hackers hack and an article on the top five ways quantum computing will change cybersecurity for good.
Farid Mheir's insight:
WHY IT MATTERS: the more we digitize our businesses and our lives the more we are exposed to hacking. The explosion of cryptocurrencies hacking and recent months appears to be a strong trend. A great series of articles on the subject is presented here.

The internet is only 9291 days old (25 years, 5 months, 7 days including today). On 6 August 1991 the World Wide Web became publicly available.

2016 was an incredible year for technology, and for humanity. Despite all the negative political-related news, there were 10 tech trends this year that positively transformed humanity. For this “2017 Kick-Off” blog, I reviewed 52 weeks of science and technology breakthroughs, and categorized them into the top 10 tech trends changing our world. I’m blown away by how palpable the feeling of exponential change has become. I’m also certain that 99.999% of humanity doesn’t understand or appreciate the ramifications of what is coming. In this blog, enjoy the top 10 tech trends of the past 12 months and why they are important to you.
Farid Mheir's insight:
I am not a big fan of trends and yearly predictions as a glimpse into the future. However, I like them because they provide a good state of the nation - a condensed picture of where we are and what are hot topics.
This review is of particular value in that respect and I especially like #2 where author states "2016 was the year solar and renewable energy became cheaper than coal" because it goes against what we often hear, yet confirms something we expect will happen as it has been predicted for such a long time.

At 213 pages, there's a ton of data, but here are our Top 3 takeaways. 1) The internet itself is seeing slowing growth. In the past two decades, the internet economy was affected by macroeconomic trends, but it was external issues like the housing crisis and the financial crisis that were driving the slowdown. Now it is global internet growth itself that is slowing down. 2) Typing text into a search bar is so last year. In five years, at least 50 percent of all searches are going to be either images or speech. 3) The home screen has acted as the de facto portal on mobile devices since the arrival of the iPhone and even before. Messaging apps, with context and time, have a chance to rival the home screen as the go-to place for interaction.
Farid Mheir's insight:
218 slides of jammed packed information. Soon I will be able to blog one slide of this Mary Meeker State of the Internet annual presentation per day for the whole year. Wow...
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT This is an annual event for digital experts: the state of the Internet. This year, it focusses on deep learning (think voice+image recognition) and cars. Because really the Internet growth is slowing down. So is mobile phone usage. The trend thus appears to be what we build on top of the Internet and not the Internet itself. Finally.
Every company executive and board member should listen to this talk. Even if you don't understand everything you should ask yourself: how is our company positioned to address those trends? In most cases I assume the answer will be: we are not. This should be cause for concern and action.

WHY IT MATTERS: survey result from GitLab about devOps practices. Take numbers and % with HUGE grain of salt as I don't feel they represent the "real world" as they are skewed toward smaller organizations and (relatively) early adopters. Nevertheless, the tools and the practices and the trends should be looked at seriously in any organization. I know it will shape how I do things for le panier bleu... ;-)
