Why do you work in HR? Most probably because you are interested in people and their welfare. You’re a people person. AI (Artificial intelligence) will probably become your new best friend in the next couple of years, but AI will never be human. Its limitations need to be understood and taken into account. HR needs to get itself into a prime position to keep track of what is top of employees’ wishlist for technology. Plus it is vital that HR professionals use the...

Die Zeiten sind vorbei, in denen die IT-Abteilung alleine die Systeme eines Unternehmens schützen konnte. Angesichts des enormen Risikos muss die Verteidigung gegen Cyberkriminalität ein zentrales Anliegen für alle Mitarbeiter sein, von der Rezeption bis hin zum CEO. Das birgt allerdings eigene Risiken, die jedoch durch den Einsatz neuer Technologien eingedämmt werden können. Das Umfeld dieses Bereichs wird heute von einer ständig wachsenden Anzahl von „Angriffsvektoren“...

لقد ولَّت الأيام التي كان فيها قسم تكنولوجيا المعلومات وحده قادرًا على حماية أنظمة شركة ما. وبالنظر إلى حجم المخاطر الهائلة، فإن مواجهة المجرمين الإلكترونيين يجب أن تكون أولوية رئيسية لدى جميع الموظفين، بدءاً من موظف الاستقبال وحتى الرئيس التنفيذي. إلا أن ذلك ينطوي على مخاطر، والتي يمكن دحضها بالاعتماد على التكنولوجيات الحديثة. نشهد اليوم ارتفاعًا متزايدًا في "أدوات الهجوم الإلكتروني"، وأحدثها هو تعدين العملات المشفرة – وهو نوع من أنواع الهجوم الإلكتروني الذي حقق نموًا مذهلاً...

Gone are the days when an IT department alone was able to protect a company’s systems. Given the enormous risk, fending off cyber criminals must be of central concern to all employees, from the receptionist to the CEO. But that brings its own risks, which can be curtailed by emerging technologies. Today’s landscape is teeming with an ever-growing number of “attack vectors”,  with the newest being crypto-currency mining – a kind of cyber-attack that grew by an astonishing 4,000 per...

L’ère où le service informatique était le seul habilité à protéger les systèmes informatiques est bel et bien révolue. Face aux risques énormes, la lutte contre les cybercriminels doit être une préoccupation centrale pour tous les collaborateurs, du personnel de la réception jusqu’au PDG. Mais cela entraîne un autre type de risques, qui peuvent être contenus grâce aux technologies émergentes. De nos jours, le paysage est miné par un nombre toujours croissant de «...

Every marketer wants to build trust in their brand, because it fuels the business.  But while marketers are increasingly using data to build and measure reputation, they often ignore that in the same way a defective product can undermine their efforts, a data breach can be catastrophic. Data and The Brand Customer data is what makes smart, effective marketing possible. It allows us to reach the right people, at the right time, in the right way. It’s the difference between...

What if you empowered your employees to dictate HR best practices based on how they work best? By using emerging technologies such as AI, HR departments can quickly learn the optimal ways in which their people work, eliminating unnecessary systems and processes. In doing so, organisations can gain a deeper understanding of their people and adopt an urban planning approach to setting up standardized processes that make work easier and more effective. Dictating ‘best practice’...

Uncertainty is the new normal. In the era of fake news and unpredictable market changes, there is however one thing you can trust and control: data. Data doesn’t lie, but it needs to be secure, for it to be harnessed by business leaders in decision making. “Uncertainty is killing growth,” ran the FT headline at the end of December 2018. The hook for its story was a new paper from the IMF and Stanford University that launched a World Uncertainty Index (WUI) – a rough measure of...
