COVID will be remembered as a major turning point

Ten years from now I think we will look back on COVID as our generation’s “Pearl Harbor moment” — a period when extreme adversity spurs innovation and behavioral changes to help address some of the era’s biggest problems. At the time of Pearl Harbor, the U.S. artillery was 75% horse drawn. Let me say that again: In 1941, three quarters of our artillery depended on horses. Yet by the end of the war we had entered the atomic age. That incredible transformation sparked a period of innovation and growth in the U.S. economy that lasted for decades. COVID could be the trigger that spurs us to tackle critical issues over the next decade, such as the cost of health care, education and housing. We’ve already seen the development of COVID vaccines at a speed few thought possible. And we’re doing things in our daily lives we never imagined would happen so quickly. In 2030 we may be living, working, studying and playing in a radically new world. Our lives could be better, richer, healthier, cheaper and profoundly more digital, virtual and data centric. Many of the technologies already exist, but I believe there’s still so much untapped potential for innovative companies to think bigger and apply them in ways that solve societal problems.

MOST COMMON CYBER ATTACKS

1). PHISHING: • One of the most insidious techniques used today is Phishing. It's hard to find the person that doesn't know what phishing is. However lot of users still getting tricked by the hackers. • Phishing implies the replication of the website with the aim of stealing money or personal information. And once a user enters his credit card details in that fake website, a hacker can get access to those details and will be able to use those information for his own benefit. 2). Viruses and Malicious Codes: • Hacker's can almost crawl into any website and leave in its database malware or insert code into website files. • There is a huge variety of viruses, and each may impact the infected websites differently. 3). UI Redress: • This technique is similar to the phising; but in this case a hacker could create a fake hidden user int...

Where is the World of Cybersecurity Heading in 2020?

TUV Rheinland Releases Their 7th Annual Cybersecurity Trends Report As we all know, the world of cybersecurity is an ever-evolving, fast-growing industry that can be tough to follow at times. For example, we have seen a rapid upsurge in the use of smart devices and with that, an increased risk of cyberattacks. This has not been limited to private households either. Rather, the logistics industry and private vehicles are also at risk of being hacked. Indeed, as individuals and industries increasingly move online, this inevitably leads to an accumulation of data in mammoth proportions. When access to this data is left uncontrolled, this could potentially destabilise the digital society. In other words, as Petr Lahner, Business Executive Vice President for the business stream Industry Service & Cybersecurity at TUV Rheinland, explains, “…it is particularly serious that cybercrime is increasingly affecting our personal security and the stability of society as a whole.” As such,...

Will life ever be the same again?

Stay at home, work from home The fact is, even before COVID-19 became the catalyst, there were quite a number of employers already embracing the ever-evolving technologies that make WFH an option for their employees. They recognized that it’s no longer necessary to have employees be in an office full-time to be productive contributor to a team. Indeed, many kinds of work can be done just as effectively, if not more so, from home or anywhere. But this time, WFH was not an option but mandatory. Were employers and employees ready for workplace changes? Let’s take a quick look at the top challenges faced by employees versus business leaders/owners working from home: Barriers to effective communication top the challenges faced by both employees and business leaders/owners. Both groups also pointed out insufficient facilities, tools and devices; and that the home environment is not conducive to work as the other top challenges faced. Surprisingly, lack of trust came up last in ...
