From safenet.gemalto.com Key Points/Stats from this Infographic: In two years an average of 51% of all IT and data processing requirements will be in the cloud, an increase from today’s average of 39%. The average number of cloud apps & services used by companies today is 27. While 53% of respondents say their organization uses multi-factor authentication to secure access to data in the cloud environment, only 36% of respondents say their organization encrypts or tokenizes sensitive data within cloud applications.

Gen Z has a set of unique behavioural attributes which are shaping the needs of the education industry and pushing them to develop ways to deal with them.  the present scenario, we are witnessing industries undergoing a disruption with a rapid convergence of technologies; which is faster than ever before! These constant changes are making competencies in workforce go obsolete leaving Lifelong Learning as the only feasible option. On the other side, Gen Z has a set of unique behavioural attributes which are shaping the needs of the education industry and pushing them to develop ways to deal with them. Here are some of the industry trends of delivering learning by Venguswamy Ramaswamy, Global Head of TCS iON, a Tata Consultancy Services unit focused on education, assessment boards and SMBs: 1. Nano-learning The attention span of learners is persistently shrinking. With the existence of lengthy, text-intensive, un-interactive learning content, students are unw...

0 Comments   99 Share IBM inventors from India earned over 800 patents – the second highest contributor to the company’s global record of 9,100 patents in the US in 2018 – with nearly half in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, cyber security, blockchain and quantum computing. One of the patents filed from India went to IBM inventors Shivali Agarwal, Gaargi B Dasgupta, Shripad J Nadgowda and Tapan K Nayak, the company has said in a statement. They developed an AI-based approach for structured representation and classification of noisy and unstructured data in tickets used in service delivery. Ticket analysis helps create problem diagnostics, prediction of outages and prevention of issues in service delivery, for example for help desks. “IBM is committed to leading the way on the technologies that change the way the world works – and solving problems many people have not even thought of yet,” said Ginni Rometty, IBM Chairman, President ...

A new development in molecular biology is a step towards enabling mobile and instant diagnosis of viruses like   Ebola   or  Zika   in the field. The   Oxford Nanopore MinION   device can sequence DNA and RNA in real time, and researchers at the French agriculture research center   CIRAD   have found a way to use the device as a tool for identifying plant viruses and potentially animal and human viruses too. The researchers at CIRAD were searching for a way to diagnose viruses quickly and early in the infection process, so they could avoid the time consuming and potentially dangerous process of transferring contaminated samples to a lab. They struck on using the portable sequencer MinION device, which in the last few years since its development has become a common tool for biological analysis techniques like de novo sequencing, targeted sequencing, metagenomics, and epigenetics. The CIRAD team were able to both test and validate that the devic...
