Today's Story Highlights

SMBs Enjoy Online Surge on Small Business Saturday
While many retailers mull the takeaway from this year's Black Friday
Cyber Monday shopping event, others may be more interested in the action
that took place on Saturday. Online shoppers on Saturday spent $3.6
billion dollars at both large and small retailers, reflecting 18 percent
year-over-year growth and setting a new sales record for the day,
according to Adobe Analytics.

Crowdsourcing, Drones, and Why I'll Never Buy a Bugatti
Amazon has taught me I don't have to wait for my next two-pack of
ravioli cutter stamps, so if you can't get them to me in under two
hours, I know someone else who can. It's 2019, and customers want what
they want, when they want it. The global last-mile market is expected to
hit $55.2 billion by 2025, up from the current $30.2 billion, and it's
no wonder.

The CCPA Will Take Effect Jan. 1 - Are You Ready?
Although not every United States business will be affected, the new
California Consumer Protection Act almost certainly will have
implications for many businesses outside of California. Starting Jan. 1,
2020, qualifying businesses will be subject to data privacy and security
standards currently required only by the 28 member states in the
European Union.

Consider Service Mesh as a Security Tool
If you're like most security pros, chances are you're starting to get
frustrated with microservices a little -- or maybe a lot. Microservice
architectures -- that is, architectures that leverage REST to build a
number of small, distributed, modular components -- are powerful from a
software architect's point of view. Want to make a change to a component
quickly? Add new functionality?

Health Tech Trends: Connected Devices, Telehealth, Independent Living Solutions
The U.S. healthcare industry is in the midst of transformation,
including an overhaul of its information infrastructure from physical to
digital, and the rise of informed and increasingly empowered consumers.
Managing consumers' healthcare experience is no longer a selling point,
but a must-deliver component of technology vendors' solutions. Adoption
of connected health devices is on the rise.
