2019 predictions: The internet of (vulnerable) things

Avast experts walk you through next year’s most menacing IoT threats in part 1 of our 2019 predictions. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. This is also true in the world of security. This year, we tracked a growing threat trend — that when just one device in a home or small business (usually the router) is compromised, then the rest of the devices on the network become easy to compromise. With connected devices — known as the internet of things — growing faster than any device category in history, it’s increasingly difficult to buy appliances and home goods that do not have a connection to the internet.

Empowering Industry 4.0 with Artificial Intelligence

Article | March 14, 2024

The next step in industrial technology is about robotics, computers and equipment becoming connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) and enhanced by machine learning algorithms. Industry 4.0 has the potential to be a powerful driver of economic growth, predicted to add between $500 billion- $1.5 trillion in value to the global economy between 2018 and 2022, according to a report by Capgemini.

How Artificial Intelligence Is Transforming Businesses

Article | March 15, 2024

Whilst there are many people that associate AI with sci-fi novels and films, its reputation as an antagonist to fictional dystopic worlds is now becoming a thing of the past, as the technology becomes more and more integrated into our everyday lives. AI technologies have become increasingly more present in our daily lives, not just with Alexa’s in the home, but also throughout businesses everywhere, disrupting a variety of different industries with often tremendous results. The technology has helped to streamline even the most mundane of tasks whilst having a breath-taking impact on a company’s efficiency and productivity

The advances of AI in healthcare

Article | March 18, 2024

With the Government investing £250 million into the project, the Lab will consider how to use AI for the benefit of patients – whether this be the deployment of existing AI methods, the development of new technologies or the testing of their safety. Amongst other things, the initiative will aim to deliver earlier diagnoses of cancer. It is estimated that in excess of 50,000 extra patients could see their cancer being detected at an early stage, thus boosting survival rates. More specifically, a study has shown that AI is quicker in identifying brain tumour tissue than a pathologist.This would have a positive knock-on effect in other areas, such as enabling money to be saved (that otherwise would have been spent on further treatment) and reducing the workload of staff (at a time when there is a crisis in NHS workforce numbers).

Three Keys to Successful AI Adoption

Article | February 10, 2020

Over the past several years, we have begun to see the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) in businesses. According to a study for the AI Index 2019 Annual Report, more than half of respondents report their companies are using AI in at least one function or business unit. Thirty percent report they have AI embedded across multiple areas of their business. As businesses continue to develop their understanding of what is possible with AI, we can expect to see a continued increase in AI adoption.

Facebook-Backed TIP Adds New Project Groups, Demos Mobile Network

SDxCentral | February 25, 2019

The Telecom Infra Project (TIP) launched two new project groups, OpenRAN 5G NR and WiFi. And three years after Facebook first launched the initiative at MWC, TIP for the first time demonstrated how its technologies work together in an end-to-end mobile network architecture. The disaggregated network demonstration uses general purpose processing platforms and white-box devices and shows the interoperability of seven TIP technologies — OpenRAN, vRAN Fronthaul, Edge Computing and Applications, Disaggregated Cell Site Gateway, Cassini, CrowdCell, and OpenCellular — from 16 different vendors across three areas: access, backhaul, and core and management. The vendors are: Adva Optical Networking, Athonet, BaiCells, Benetel, Edge-Core Networks, Fujitsu, Lumentum, Marvell, Phluido, Qwilt, IPinfusion, Altran, MobiledgeX, Lime Microsystems, NTT, and Open Radisys. This disaggregated approach to a telecommunications network is more cost effective, and it gives operators more flexibility so they can deploy new services faster, said TIP Executive Director Attilio Zani at a press conference on Monday. It also means operators can more quickly replace individual network components instead of having to replace entire monolithic solutions. “This is really looking to the future,” he said. TIP also today launched two new project groups: OpenRAN 5G NR, co chaired by Vodafone and Sprint, and WiFi, co-chaired by Deutsche Telekom and Facebook. TIP has other groups that focus on the radio access network (RAN), and as the name suggest, the new OpenRAN 5G NR group will focus on 5G disaggregated RAN technologies.
