WHAT IS IT?
Global Hyperautomation Market Size & Share to Surpass USD 26.5 Billion by 2028
WHY IMPORTANT
By investing in hyperautomation, a company may benefit by accelerating complex work since the advanced technology provides support by automating complex tasks and engaging everyone associated with business transformation.
WHAT IS IT?
Workforce Cyber Intelligence solution built around employee privacy using data minimalization and pseudonymization. It provides IT, security, and HR teams with data measuring which applications are used and how frequently. It measures the intensity to prevent burnout and promote work-life balance, and understands engagement level to foster optimal times for organizational communications and meetings without compromising privacy.
WHY IMPORTANT
Workforce Cyber Intelligence is NOT employee monitoring. Outdated, invasive platforms scrutinize productivity using keystroke logging, screen capture, and other surveillance techniques to observe precisely what each employee is doing all day. The surveillance solutions breed mistrust – the antithesis of what is required to improve operational efficiency and foster a positive employee culture.
WHAT IS IT?
Brain-computer interfaces have been implanted in humans for the first time
WHY IMPORTANT
The implant is an electrode mesh array implanted via the jugular vein using well-established neurointerventional techniques. Since this procedure avoids drilling into the skull and open brain surgery, tens of thousands of physicians and clinics around the world already can perform the operation. And, with a series of yes or no signals transmitted via this device, a specially designed app allows text entry and control of a mobile device or computer.

How Hyper-Automation Can Help You Transform Your Business
WHY IMPORTANT
Hyper-automation encompasses an entire ecosystem of tools and technologies. The combination not only promises an increased degree of intuitiveness and intelligence but also enables businesses to make better use of their resources by transforming previously used archaic methodologies.

How Fragile is the Cloud, Really?
WHY IMPORTANT
A severe cloud infrastructure outage often feels less like a service disruption and more like an earthquake. An 8-hour cloud outage during holiday shopping season could cost a retailer millions of dollars. Here's how CIOs are weighing the risks and costs of outages against the complexities and costs of building resilience.
WHAT IS IT?
A different liquid solution and a specific kind of salt create a new electrolyte that enables a longer life cycle than most sodium-ion batteries previously reported.
WHY IMPORTANT
Rising demand for batteries has caused the price of lithium to skyrocket—it’s up nearly 450% compared with last year, according to S&P Global Commodity Insights. Sodium, meanwhile, “has an almost unlimited supply.” China is also ready to launch a commercial sodium batter and is leading this research.
WHAT IS IT?
Risks increase as the world becomes more digital, regulated, and interconnected, but businesses can take steps to reduce their impact. Cyber security will always be a work in progress. The key to effective risk management is having proactive visibility and context across the entire attack surface.
WHY IMPORTANT
Since the pandemic the cyber world has become a far riskier place. Even more alarming is that these attacks are happening despite businesses doubling down on their cyber security spend.
Cyber security is at a critical inflection point where five mega trends are making the threat landscape riskier, more complicated, and costlier to manage than previously reported. To better understand the evolution of this threat landscape, let’s examine these trends in more detail.
WHAT IS IT?
Creating a framework for communicating the hybrid workplace in your company.
WHY IMPORTANT
McKinsey predicts nine out of ten organizations will combine remote and on-site work in the coming years. As hybrid working becomes the permanent way of working, we must ask whether companies are ready for the massive changes this will have on HR processes, leadership practices for engaging a global workforce, and the design of the office of the future.
