artificial intelligence (AI) is driving the robotics market into various areas, including mobile robots on the factory floor, robots that can do a large number of tasks rather than being specialized on one, and robots that can stay in control of inventory levels as well as fetching orders for delivery.  Such advanced functionality has raised […]

The automotive industry is often at the forefront of technology. It has been using robots on assembly lines for decades. And more recently, it has been among the industrial pioneers in artificial intelligence (AI).  Some of the big problems being faced in the automotive sector right now relate to semi-autonomous and autonomous driving. These vehicles […]

While work from home has generated a whole new level of security threats, the Internet of Things (IoT) promises to up the ante even further. Think about the havoc caused by hundreds of millions of people suddenly working from home. This severely weakened and, in some cases, overwhelmed corporate security defenses. IoT could magnify such […]

There is no escaping data security. With so many tasks and transactions now being done virtually, every consumer is faced with an unending stream of requests for logins, passwords, two-factor authentication codes, captchas, and more. On the enterprise side, users have to negotiate through a labyrinth of security layers and access controls to get to […]

Internet of Things (IoT) security is a whole new ball game for enterprise security to deal with. It concerns securing tens of billions of devices that each represent a port of entry to organizational systems. Yet, despite the obvious security nightmare posed by the IoT, there is a strong desire to fully exploit its business […]

The data security market today resembles the U.S. gold rush of 1849. But instead of heading west to find gold in “them thar hills,” enterprises are scrambling to implement procedures and technologies to protect their data. Allied Market Research estimates that the global data security market should be worth about $19 billion in 2021 and […]

To paraphrase the old Joni Mitchell song, having looked at clouds from both sides, enterprises sometimes won and sometimes lost. But still somehow, they recall their many illusions about clouds and came to realize that they really didn’t know clouds at all.  That’s why they are moving workloads from one public cloud to another, sometimes […]

A great many people want to get their data moved to the cloud. More than a few want to retrieve their data from the cloud. And increasingly, plenty of people want to move data from one cloud to another. Whatever the direction, the subject of cloud migration has become a hot topic.  The cloud migration […]

Gathered data is one thing. But useful data is quite another. Once data is collected, it has to be transformed in order to be of value to analytics and other platforms that glean insight from information.   Digital Transformation  Digital transformation has been a buzz word for a couple of years. But as companies lay the […]

Data recovery is more important than ever in this era of constant cyber attacks and ransomware. The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) looked into 80,000 incidents in 2020, of which more than 5,000 were confirmed as data breaches.   Phishing attacks are the top avenue of incursion, responsible for 85% of all breaches. With 13% […]
