Setting the Stage for a Future-proof Business
We are in a crucial but difficult period. Future generations will be shaped by the choices we make today. Most profound of all is maybe the force that each of us exerts over our own unique fates. We have always been and always will be the creators of our own reality. The cloud will present CIOs with the biggest opportunities and challenges. Of course, security, privacy, and compliance issues will continue to be a problem for businesses. Nevertheless, these difficulties will be made more difficult by a dynamic threat environment..
The cloud will present the most significant challenges and opportunities for CIOs. Of course, businesses will continue to face challenges with security, privacy, and compliance. However, these difficulties will be exacerbated by a constantly changing threat environment.
We live in a necessary yet challenging time. Our actions today will define the future for generations to come. Perhaps most profound of all, is the force you and I apply to our own individual destinies. We are and forever will be the architects of our own realities. The most significant challenges and opportunities for CIOs are going to be in the cloud. Of course, businesses will still struggle with security, privacy, and compliance. But these challenges will be magnified by a constantly changing threat environment.
AI Needs a Strong Moral Compass for the Future
In 2023, we’ll see a methodology for feeding data, testing, and monitoring outcomes that ensures our algorithms have a moral compass, just as Asimov envisioned the three basic laws of robotics 80 years ago. Carlos Martin, co-founder and CEO of macami.ai, emphasises the importance of morally sound AI evolution as our collaboration continues to grow. Narrow AI refers to the technology used by businesses and the general public. Even though AI is still in its infancy, it is already having a significant impact on our lives.
AI Can Help Battle the Ongoing Labor Shortage
The Great Resignation has exacerbated the labour shortage, which has impacted every business, particularly those with a large hourly workforce. Employees continue to re-evaluate their priorities for what they value in their jobs as companies look for solutions, including new ways to attract and retain talent, says Kshitij Dayal, SVP of engineering and operations at Legion. Salary increases are being implemented by large corporations such as Walmart and Target in order to attract hourly workers. With so many companies now offering sign-on bonuses and record pay packages, employers looking to compete in a tight labour market must find a new way to attract employees. Artificial intelligence-powered workforce management and demand forecasting could be the answer.
Building a Disaster Preparedness Strategy for Your Business
RMS recently estimated that Hurricane Ian could cause private-market insured losses of up to $74 billion. Additional inland flooding and storm surges could cause $10 billion in damage. The most concerning aspect is that this is not a one-time occurrence. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that cyclone intensity in the North Atlantic has “increased noticeably over the past 20 years, with eight of the ten most active years since 1950 occurring since the mid-1990s.” Despite the fact that businesses rely on insurance to cover losses from extreme events, they must still rebuild everything, and insurance may not be enough. For this reason, businesses have begun to rely more on business continuity plans with disaster preparedness at the core.
3 Steps for Creating a Strong Security Culture in the Workplace
Culture is at the root of so many security breaches. Cybercriminals take the easy route in, using phishing and social engineering. Perry Carpenter, renowned author and security officer for KnowBe4, discusses the relationship between organisational culture and cybersecurity, as well as ways to improve both. CIOs are putting cyber and information security investments ahead of everything else. However, despite increased investments in cybersecurity and the maturation of security technologies, data breaches continue to be a daily occurrence. Cybercriminals are taking a simpler approach, compromising people rather than systems.
5 Cloud Security Predictions on What Lies Ahead for 2023
Companies are no longer migrating to the cloud. They’ve already arrived. And, as the sun sets in 2022 and rises in 2023, this strategic market shift will have far-reaching consequences for cloud security and cybersecurity in general. During the pandemic, businesses adopted a radical shift to public and private cloud environments. In fact, most enterprise application deployments now take place in the cloud, and in many cases, across multiple clouds. Eyal Arazi, Cloud Security Manager at Radware, has put together five key predictions for cloud cybersecurity in 2023.
