Not all hackers are criminals. In fact, ethical hackers – security experts who infiltrate networks and computer systems with authorization from their owners – are increasingly being hired to identify vulnerabilities in cyber security systems, and helping organizations stop cyber crime before the attacks happen. The need for ethical hackers is rising alongside increasing waves […]
Smart factories can efficiently run more independently than their counterparts through advanced digital and automated technologies. These factories operate at increased speed and productivity, and can be monitored and operated remotely. According to Deloitte, smart factories help businesses achieve a 20% improved asset efficiency, 30% improved product quality, 30% reduced costs, and 10% improvement in […]
Engineers spend much of their time learning technical skills. However, they may not be as invested in learning the communication and business knowledge needed to ascend to leadership positions. These skills are becoming especially important as digital transformation is forcing traditional workforces to evolve. While technical certifications can certainly make an impressive addition to your […]
Blockchain technology is growing at a significant pace. According to Statista, the global blockchain market, valued at US$1.57 billion in 2018, is expected to grow more than a hundred times to US$163 billion by 2027. Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger of transactions that records data in a way that prevents hacking and altering of […]
Imagine you are stuck in the aftermath of a hurricane. You need to call for help, but networks are down. Drones suddenly appear over the horizon. Equipped with 5G technology, they form an aerial network that allows you to send texts and look up evacuation information. Developed by AT&T, these flying “cells on wings,” or […]
Most of us can only dream of playing professional sports. However, augmented reality (AR) could soon turn these dreams into reality — that is, a virtual one. This fall, the National Football League (NFL) will release its first officially licensed game for virtual reality platforms, ESPN reported. The “NFL PRO ERA” game will give players […]
The electric grid has transformed significantly over the last decade, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s two-yearly review on the status of the smart grid system nationally, released in May 2022. The growing mix of renewable energy resources, electric vehicles, and interactive buildings in the U.S. is making the grid increasingly complex. According to […]
