"I was drawn to this sound due to it's sacred lineage. As an atheist, I am fascinated by peoples devotion to their sacred beliefs. The notion of these spaces being 'tourist attractions' allows fleeting glimpses in to the historical conventions surrounding religiosity. "What interests me is experiencing the sonic character of these spaces, most likely an unintended result of the grandiose design of the building itself, and its intended use. I processed the raw recording using Logic software. Creating reverb impulse responses from the recording itself. "Grabbing certain frequencies and creating gently evolving drones from them. Granular synthesis processes are applied to the tourist chatter to re-contextualise contemporary experience within the historical context."

Look at what Santa dropped when he came down the chimney last night. A bunch of valuable ThisISResearch Best paper Awards! As we do at the end of every year, we look back at the finest information systems scholarship our field has produced this year, and we pick some of our favorite papers that we want to give an award too. Like in previous years, we recognize three different kinds of best papers – a paper that is innovative in its use of research methods, a paper that is a fine example of elegant scholarship, and a paper that is trailblazing in the sense that it starts new conversations in our field.

"Granular deconstruction of the original 12 note motif." Sebastian Tarazona quartet in Tallinn reimagined by Scott Lawrence Whitman.
Join host Austin Williams and we discuss how the concept of granulation finds its ay into many new and old(er) works of music. Granular activities are something we all experience on. Human level, the sums of man creating the whole. This broad topic can be applied in very specific ways such as granular synthesis or the deconstruction of an idea that will lead to the parts being reassembled in a new scope. It can also be applied to much broader topics such as counterpoint and other existing art and how that influences other creations.

Integrity360, one of the leading pan-European cyber security specialists, has announced the launch of its Managed Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) Service, designed to deliver automated cloud workload protection, unparalleled visibility into cloud environments, proactive threat and exposure detection, and compliance alignment. The service addresses the growing complexity of securing multi-cloud environments and protecting cloud-native applications against evolving risks. Cloud environments are increasingly the target of cyberattacks, with 82% of breaches occurring in the cloud and 39% spanning multiple environments, according to the IBM Cost of a Data Breach Report 2023. Integrity360's Managed CNAPP Service directly addresses these risks, providing organisations with advanced tools and services to strengthen their cloud security posture and protect their cloud environments with greater efficiency. Integrity360's Managed CNAPP Service combines agent and agentless methodologies to deliver visibility into threats and exposures across cloud environments. This dual approach enables organisations to monitor and protect every layer of their cloud infrastructure, from workloads and configurations to APIs and sensitive data. Granular insights into misconfigurations and potential vulnerabilities also allow organisations to identify and address risks proactively, reducing the likelihood of breaches. Integrity360's Managed CNAPP Service offers 24/7 real-time threat detection, leveraging AI-driven insights to identify active threats and prioritise risk findings. By distinguishing between two critical categories, exposures and threats, the service focuses security operations, improving the speed and accuracy of threat management and alleviating the burden on internal security teams. The service integrates seamlessly across multi-cloud setups and provides 24/7/365 protection through Integrity360's Security Operations Centre (SOC). It is backed by robust SLAs, ensuring that critical threats are acknowledged within 15 minutes, triaged within one hour, and investigated within two hours. This rapid response capability enables businesses to contain threats quickly and minimise potential damage. The service also addresses common vulnerabilities in cloud environments, such as misconfigured assets and excessive permissions, which have been at the centre of recent breaches. For instance, the high-profile Microsoft Midnight Blizzard attack, in which attackers exploited a non-production cloud tenant lacking MFA to gain access to production systems, highlights the critical need for proactive security measures. "Traditional cloud security tools often operate in silos, leaving blind spots in organisations' defences," said Ahmed Aburahal, Technical Product Manager at Integrity360. "The need for advanced, unified security solutions is critical, particularly as Gartner predicts that 95% of cloud breaches will stem from user misconfigurations by 2025. Our Managed CNAPP Service bridges these gaps, providing a unified platform that ensures continuous monitoring, streamlined risk management, and robust threat protection." Integrity360's Managed CNAPP Service offers tailored solutions to prevent such incidents, including continuous configuration monitoring and enforcement of security best practices. The flexible options empower businesses to select the level of protection that best aligns with their cloud strategy, whether securing a single public cloud or managing complex multi-cloud infrastructures.

ESB's Venture Innovation Team, X_Site, in partnership with Granular Energy has successfully completed the first phase of a pilot integration that has made generating hourly matched green energy reports feasible for several sample commercial customers. To support targets that address climate change, large companies increasingly seeking a guarantee of green energy from their energy suppliers before switching. These guarantees of origin energy certificates (GOOs)?are matched on an annual or monthly basis so it can often prove difficult for energy companies, and their customers, to report on their green energy usage on an accurate basis. As part of this pilot, data from ESB's Carnsore wind farm was directly matched to test customers hourly consumption, demonstrating that the data could be matched accurately and reported immediately to customers. Working in partnership with Granular Energy - winners of the ESB supported Free Electrons global accelerator programme in 2023 - the pilot exploring the potential of providing a new platform for GOO certificates which will benefit ESB's customers and internal trading teams. Geraldine Moloney, Head of New Ventures at ESB, said: "We are committed to making it easier for commercial customers to track their green energy reporting - a crucial step for many in meeting important climate targets - and this innovative project demonstrates our continued commitment to finding innovative solutions to enable the delivery of such solutions. We are delighted with the results of our pilot with Granular Energy into the future and I am excited to see how this can help support the delivery of our own Net Zero by 2040 strategy." Toby Ferenczi, CEO at Granular Energy, said: "ESB is one of the world's most innovative energy utilities. We're excited to work on this project because we believe it could play a part in resolving some of the key challenges facing the Irish energy system, such as how to meet the growing demand for electricity from industries such as data centres or green hydrogen without this leading to an increase in carbon-emissions."

Follow me @samirkaji for my thoughts on the venture market, with a focus on the continued evolution of the VC landscape.We have a conversation with Samir Kaul from Khosla Ventures. Founded in 2004, Khosla is one of the largest and most well-known venture capital firms in the world and led by legendary investor and entrepreneur Vinod Khosla. The firm is known for investing in companies that are solving very large and complex problems. The firm currently has over $15B in AUM investing in companies such as Square, Doordash, Stripe, OpenAI, and Impossible Foods.During the episode, we covered investing across cycles, the market insanity we saw pre-2022, and how they approach both building a firm and investing. Note: We recorded this prior to the news that Keith Rabois was rejoining the firm, hence no mention of it during the discussion.About Samir Kaul:Samir Kaul is a Founding Partner and Managing Director at Khosla Ventures, and he specializes in investments across health, sustainability, food, and advanced technology sectors. His notable investments leading to successful exits through IPOs or acquisitions include companies like Vicarious Surgical, View, Guardant Health, Nutanix, Oscar, Quantumscape, Granular, SLD, NanoH2O, Iora Health, and Raxium.
