Cybersecurity should be more complex than 123456
It’s essential to protect yourself against cyber attacks in the world we live in today. Here’s just one example that should make you think twice about better security:
Several bugs in Microsoft, Ubuntu, and Tesla products were found and exploited during a hacking conference in Vancouver.
Yes, they have hacking conferences.
Cyber security is easy to disregard but should be at the top of your list to protect yourself or your business. Just one breach could be catastrophic.
AI In Business: The One Thing Every Board Member Asks
The question is: “Why do we need to discuss Artificial Intelligence?”
That is what I usually hear when I encourage board members to put AI on the agenda. But while the question remains the same, the reasons behind board members’ bemusement varies—and that speaks volumes about misconceptions over what is coming down the proverbial pipe.
What Is The Internet Of Things (IoT) And What Does It Mean To You
In the 1960s, TV series like The Jetsons and Star Trek hinted at concepts like this. A group of Carnegie Mellon researchers made it a reality two decades later by connecting a Coca-Cola vending machine to the ARPANET, a precursor to the contemporary World Wide Web.
The act of storing, managing, and analyzing data is made easier with cloud computing. Meanwhile, cybersecurity can guard against the dangers that come with data sharing. Many IoT-related networks handle key national infrastructure, such as power grids, and a breach caused by immature IoT technology might have serious consequences.
By assisting with real-time data analysis and decision-making, AI helps IoT become smarter. Machine learning algorithms receive real-time data streams from sensors on linked IoT devices. The more data collected, the more effective the algorithms will be in improving the IoT device.
How is Cloud Computing useful for us?
Whenever you work on the computer, it is necessary to have your computer with you and after working, you save your file and store it in the hard disk. Now think that you aren’t home and something has to be changed or added to the same file.
How will you do it? Because if you do not have your computer in which that file is, how will it work? There is only one solution, that is cloud computing.
4 Reasons to be Optimistic about Fintech Right Now
We’ve seen some bad news in the tech sector lately. YCombinator is asking its portfolio founders to “plan for the worst” and prepare for a downturn and Klarna is laying off 10% of its employees. Headlines such as, “Tech’s High-Flying Startup Scene Gets a Crushing Reality Check” aren’t helping consumer or investor sentiment, either. It can be tough to remain optimistic.
The good news is that the fintech industry is resilient. So amid the recent onslaught of disheartening news, here are four reasons you can be optimistic about fintech right now.
How IoT in Transportation Makes Big Data Valuable For Businesses
The global logistics market is growing, and technology is becoming the main trigger for development. Businesses are looking for IoT solutions for transportation that can help them to increase supply chain visibility, improve operations at every stage of logistics, and save resources. This can be achieved by collecting data about a logistics process using IoT devices and converting them into valuable business information. Let’s consider how the IoT in transportation creates a continuous flow of useful information so that companies get the most out of big data.
How the Changing Labor Market Is Impacting Digital Transformation
The days of working for one company for decades are long gone. The average American will change jobs 12 times throughout their lives, and that number is likely only going to increase in the coming years. More than one-third of the U.S. labor force changed jobs in 2020, and yet more are actively seeking new work as I write this. The Great Resignation is a bit of a misnomer. It has less to do with people quitting and everything to do with the radical transformation of work. It’s not a temporary fad but a profound and permanent shift in the labor market.
Every digital transformation strategy needs to start with “why”
Investing in digital transformation is no doubt the right course of action for most organizations. Still, many have struggled to achieve the desired results despite pursuing large-scale digital transformation efforts, with a statistical survey estimating a failure rate of about 70 percent. To some extent, this rate is not entirely surprising.
7 Incredible Benefits of Blockchain for the Retail Industry
We are dwelling in times of a surreal digital revolution, and it is only getting bigger day by day. Emerging technologies are revolutionizing and revamping the world swiftly, and the corporate world is aligning itself with these technologies without wasting any time.
On the list of these disruptive technologies, blockchain is a much-talked-about aspect of the ongoing digital revolution.
Why higher education should care about cybersecurity
Higher education institutions worldwide have increasingly been the target of cyberattacks in the last two years, posing a substantial threat to learning standards and scientific data preservation. High-profile attacks on institutions in recent years have put the education industry on high alert.
In February this year, the Gems group of schools in the UAE alerted parents of enrolled students about a cyberattack on the group’s website. Fortunately, thanks to their robust business continuity plans, impact on their operations was minimal, but many educational institutions aren’t quite so lucky.
8 SKILLS THAT CAN’T BE REPLACED BY ROBOTS AND AUTOMATION
Here are the top 8 skills that robots and automation can’t replace.
Robots and automation will not eliminate employment, instead, they will modify them. While certain talents, such as dull and repetitive jobs like data entry, maybe mechanised, interpersonal skills cannot.
What Is AI? Understanding The Real-World Impact Of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is today’s most discussed and debated technology, generating widespread adulation and anxiety, and significant government and business interest and investments. But six years after DeepMind’s AlphaGo defeated a Go champion, countless research papers showing AI’s superior performance over humans in a variety of tasks, and numerous surveys reporting rapid adoption, what is the actual business impact of AI?
What Is the Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a network of physical objects that contain sensors, software and other features allowing hardware to connect to the internet and exchange data with online systems and other connected devices.
The objects connected to the IoT can range from simple household appliances to extremely complex industrial machinery. There are roughly 18 billion devices connected to the IoT worldwide, according to Ericsson. Many of these devices allow users to access remote functionality in real time. Connected devices have been around for decades, but 5G wireless networks and advances in semiconductor chips have opened the door for rapid expansion of the IoT in the coming years.
What to Expect When You Go Cloud-Native
Many organizations today have made the choice to adopt cloud-native applications and architectures and are seeing positive results. But some are still struggling with adoption challenges including increased complexity, costs and an ongoing talent shortage. Despite those adoption challenges, going cloud-native is still an incredibly sound investment and it can help your organization experience many benefits. Before delving into the reasons to justify cloud-native, we must touch on the various definitions of cloud-native. This will give us a baseline understanding to build on.
FINTECH IS GRADUALLY TAKING A NEW SHAPE IN THE METAVERSE SPACE
A metaverse is a three-dimensional virtual cosmos that mixes augmented and virtual reality with social media technologies to create a simulated digital environment at its most basic level. For some in the digital world, particularly in video games, the concept of the metaverse is simple. Whether it’s the (often) mild-mannered virtual landscapes of simulation-based games or the action-packed digital worlds of RPGs and shooters, gamers have long admired the concept of choosing a character and entering a reality vastly different from the actual one. The degree and types of technology used in the metaverse are unique, allowing for a stronger sense of engagement, autonomy, and boundlessness. What’s also unique is the increased interest by non-game firms in discovering new ways to make money.
