The world is waking up to the importance of tracing and tracking techniques, something experienced operations staff have used for decades.
In IT terms the idea of following the pathway (the act of tracing) that a user takes through a complex business system is the cornerstone of the analysis that is performed by security and operations teams every day.
As we prepare for the first rounds of business to open across the nation, we’re all expecting a number of things to happen in parallel, including:

There are some excellent sources of data on the spread of the COVID19 virus around the world, and across the different states and counties.
But how can you use this data to understand what is happening and how it can be expected to change over time?
When developers create a middleware messaging connection between apps, they may choose to do so without encryption, to keep things fast and simple.
Often apps rely on middleware level encryption which secures data in transit between middleware hubs (brokers).
COVID-19 The world has been surprised by the impact of a virus on the global economy.
Very quickly manufacturing, transportation and the lives of billions of people were disrupted.
