Securing AI Platforms — Understanding Key Challenges And How To Address Them
When talking about AI and security in the same context, AI can be used to create more security solutions in business. While it is essential to think about what needs to be secured, securing AI itself has become a dire necessity as well. AI tools are highly susceptible to data manipulation and privacy breaches. Compromising security and privacy, either at the low end or at the high end might lead to severe consequences. From data poisoning, model theft, and inference attacks to creating polymorphic malware through modern-day Gen AI, the vulnerable scenarios are many.

The Most Pressing Cybersecurity Threats in Ever-evolving Internet Landscape — How can Organisations and Working Professionals Address them?
During the pre-Internet era of landline phones and mobile phones, cybersecurity threats were mainly in the form of man-in-the-middle attacks — where the attacker or perpetrator secretly intercepts, relays, and possibly even alters the communications or messages between two parties. However, from Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks to Data Privacy concerns and to the more vigorous threats of today, cybersecurity attacks have indeed come a long way.
How can Working Professionals Leverage Analytics to Empower Various Key Applications of Finance?
In the 21st century, among various key skills, financial literacy too has become an essential skill for almost everyone. The ability to manage one’s own finances, make well-informed investment decisions, protect against uncertainties, and lay a strong financial foundation for a secure and successful retirement — all of these stem from one’s familiarity with the financial concepts and complexities. The scope of financial literacy ranges from a basic understanding of different financial products to highly advanced mathematical modeling of their complex characteristics.

The curious collaboration between humanity and technology – the present and the future!
With each passing day, we see the emergence of new technology. Not one day exists, during which humans can refrain from experimenting with technology. And yet, there exists a strange and curious association that humanity has with technology. On the one hand, humanity defines and helps technology to evolve to make lives simpler. Yet, on the other hand, there is this lingering fear as well that technology may take over humanity in the near future. And this dilemma of whether technology is a life saviour or a threat, contributes immensely to the curious collaboration that exists between humanity and technology!

The battle between conceptual and contextual learning
High-quality and enduring conceptual learning cannot happen unless aided by contextual learning activities. Humans have waged some pointless battles for ages and, often, the trigger comes from a lack of adequate understanding of the matter and flawed judgement of the motives of the supposed adversary. One such battle fought only with sharp opinions and thoughts, is between academia and industry about the relative importance of conceptual learning and contextual learning.

Digitalize or perish — a new norm in supply chains
Digitalization is a buzzword today, and the supply chain is not an exception this. But digitalization of supply chains is not something new. Around 25 years ago, Dell revolutionized the entire computer industry by digitalizing the supply chain. The consumer could specify his desired features and the laptop would be configured according to the requirements. Similarly, Zara, a fashion industry firm that is known for its responsiveness, revolutionized the fashion industry around fifteen years ago, promising 2-3 weeks of lead time to the retailer on the make-to-design products. It could achieve this by limiting its manufacturing in Spain unlike most of the contemporary fashion industry players that were outsourcing to China, which used to take 3-4 months for supply.
Responsible implementation of technology holds the key in augmenting healthcare
Having witnessed the on-going technology-inspired revolution in the healthcare sector, we will still need to exercise discretion in ensuring that technology is implemented judiciously Implants, stents, genome sequencing, non-invasive surgeries, transplants and prosthetics — the evolution in medical sciences over time has been stupendous to say the least. The proliferation of technology has provided an impetus to several elements of the end-to-end healthcare value chain — consultation, maintenance of health records, surgical and diagnostic procedures, large scale production of drugs, personal health monitoring, and many others.
Data Privacy Day: A day perhaps to also spread awareness on how everyone can contribute to data protection
During the early part of every new year, most information security practitioners across the globe look forward to celebrating a significant event — the Data Privacy Day! However, in my view, it is also a day that every ordinary person should consider celebrating as well.
Budget 2023: Not just fiscal deficit, managing “skills deficit” in our workforce should also be a priority
There are contrasting views and forecasts from various experts on how the year 2023 could be for the Indian economy. While some advocate exercising extreme caution on governmental spending due to the looming threat of a global recession, others are more upbeat, primarily on the basis of a few recent trends that show India is faring relatively better than many other world economies. However, most experts expect that managing the fiscal deficit during this budget will likely remain one of the key focus areas of the government and that it would need to ensure a fine balance between fulfilling both long-term and short-term national priorities.
Planning to set up your own EV startup? Here’s the collaboration you may need
India is witnessing a surge in EV adoption could be considered an understatement considering that 2022 the country sold almost sold 1 million EVs in 2022 (9,99,949 units) as per Vahan data. This was also 209.7 percent more than in 2021 which saw a surge of 165.4 percent alone. However, while the buyers are getting well sensitised to the growing need for cleaner mobility, manufacturers still seem to be torn between the EV vs Hybrids debate. While Maruti Suzuki and Toyota firmly believe in Hybrids as the perfect solution for countries such as India, Japan and Sri Lanka. Homegrown automakers such as Tata Motors and Mahindra have stepped on the EV wave and are betting on it for the future.

From ancient times to modern times, many accomplished personalities in different fields and domains have advocated the power of “learning by doing,” which is also popularly referred to as “experiential learning.”
Empowering Workforce through Continuous Learning Enhances Employee Experience (EX) Significantly
From employees’ perspectives, when considering the overall benefits provided by either their current or future employers, continuing education and professional development is invariably one of the leading factors that is top of mind for most of them.
