Blockchain and big data processing: Can blockchain solve data privacy concerns?
Is blockchain the answer to data privacy concerns and how Big Data is handled?
Rapid advances in digital technology over the past several decades have also brought new data privacy and security concerns to the forefront. As a consequence, hacking, identity theft, and other breaches of digital privacy are becoming increasingly widespread.
However, addressing the subject of how to secure the Internet has long been a source of inspiration for individuals in the blockchain community. As blockchain technology restructures our digital infrastructure, the security equation shifts.
Digital Transformation Services Trends to Follow in 2022
Digital transformation integrates the business areas to deliver fundamental value to the customers. Digital transformation services open doors for developing business models for several products and creating deliverable value for clients to make profits. The ongoing transformation in technology during the 2020s had multiple facets for businesses.
Blockchain networks overview: What makes these networks the best?
Since Ethereum emerged, several Blockchain Networks have appeared each one with different benefits and focuses. Lets compare them.
Despite years of development and increased security levels, the crypto industry is still being heavily impacted by hackers. In Q1 of 2022, online criminals managed to steal almost $1.3 billion, across 78 recorded incidents. In many cases, the problem did not lie with the protocols, but with the hackers’ ability to trick unsuspecting users. But, there were also numerous instances where flaws and exploits were the reason why hackers managed to get away with the money.
The Next Cybersecurity Crisis: Poisoned AI
A lot of machine learning relies on massive data sets of unknown provenance. That’s a problem when digital defenses are on the line.
For the past decade, artificial intelligence has been used to recognize faces, rate creditworthiness and predict the weather. At the same time, increasingly sophisticated hacks using stealthier methods have escalated. The combination of AI and cybersecurity was inevitable as both fields sought better tools and new uses for their technology. But there’s a massive problem that threatens to undermine these efforts and could allow adversaries to bypass digital defenses undetected.
Deep Science: AI simulates economies and predicts which startups receive funding
Research in the field of machine learning and AI, now a key technology in practically every industry and company, is far too voluminous for anyone to read it all. This column aims to collect some of the most relevant recent discoveries and papers — particularly in, but not limited to, artificial intelligence — and explain why they matter.
A look at the top 5 IoT device types
You can find IoT products in the home, factories, vehicles and hospitals. Familiarize yourself with specific devices for each of these sectors and their pros and cons.
IoT devices can include smartphones and smartwatches, but the term usually refers to technology such as smart home devices and industrial sensors. IoT devices constantly communicate with other devices. An IoT sensor, for example, does not just collect data; it autonomously and wirelessly reports gathered data back to an IoT gateway.
What Is a Cloud Access Security Broker?
How do you protect your data in the cloud, even from inside threats who access content remotely without authorization? You need a CASB.
With the rise in workforce mobility, unauthorized use of the cloud and Shadow IT, i.e. use of technology without explicit permission from a company, have also risen. The ability to monitor and govern the use of cloud applications like Office 365 has become essential.
Fast-Moving FinTech Poses Challenge for Regulators
Technology sometimes moves at a dizzying pace. When it comes to innovation in financial activities, often referred to as FinTech, the world is seeing major advances.
For banks, FinTech disrupts core financial services and pushes them to innovate to remain relevant. For consumers, it means potentially wider access to better services.
The risks and rewards of collaboration in green technology
It is essential that both the public and private sectors work together to drive through the innovation and green technology required to achieve the net zero goals set by governments and companies around the world.
Three Ways to Connect the Dots in a Decentralized Big Data World
There’s no shortage of data in this world. Neither is there a shortage of data-driven business plans. In fact, we are sitting on gluts of both. So why are companies still struggling to get the right data in front of the right people at the right time? One of the big challenges, sources say, is melding established data access and data management patterns with the new decentralized data paradigm. Here are three ways to do it.
What are the five layers of digital transformation?
Digital transformation is all about strategically leveraging technology to drive value across all areas of the business. This could include migrating from on-premises to the cloud to reap cost savings and enable scalability or introducing data analytics and business intelligence tools to derive insights. Every business is unique, however, and the digitalization end state for you may be different for others.
Digital Transformation: How To Future-Proof Your Business
Covid-19 delivered catastrophic blows to almost every facet of the business world. While the pandemic became a catalyst of innovation for some organizations, it was a wake-up call for others—especially those with missing or immature digital transformation initiatives.
How Blockchain can Benefit the Companies?
Blockchain technology is a distributed database that allows for secure, transparent, and tamper-proof transactions. Transactions are verified by all nodes on the network, which makes it difficult for hackers to hack into the system.
Surprising cybersecurity weak points business owners should look out for
Cybersecurity has taken on new levels of importance facing redoubled cyber attacks. The post-pandemic digital landscape is fraught with threats. In fact, these attacks peaked in December of 2021 with a slew of Log4j exploits. The popular Java-based logging utility is only one surprising cybersecurity weak point that business owners should look out for, however.
How to compete with robots by assessing job automation risks and resilient alternatives
Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) are at the core of what is often referred to as the fourth industrial revolution (1). Sustained progress in these fields is leading to robots that are more autonomous, dexterous, and safer to interact with than their predecessors. Intelligent systems are also outperforming humans in tasks that once appeared out of reach for machines, such as the very complex board game of Go. Such advances—combined with equally important breakthroughs in high-performance computing, “Internet of Things,” and new materials—are already producing a visible effect on manufacturing and service sectors (2). As a result, a wide-sweeping transformation of the whole economic and productive system is expected over the next few decades.
