Modern businesses must manage large amounts of data in various formats from different sources. This challenge leads to data silos and creates a negative developer experience (DevEx). Data integration can reduce these data silos and positively impact DevEx leading to increased satisfaction and retention.
With the rise of AI technologies, the European Union (EU) has introduced the AI Act to ensure ethical guidelines and transparency. The Act, the first comprehensive law for AI, mandates compliance from large enterprises to SMEs. Early action by SMEs will ensure compliance and foster trustworthy AI development. SMEs must understand how to navigate this new regulation and the provisions made for them by the EU.
Legacy systems or applications have performance issues, are vulnerable to security threats, and have high maintenance costs. Businesses can fix these systems by using cloud migration as a legacy system modernization strategy. Cloud engineers and architects can shift to a cloud-native approach to modernize applications, boost innovation and productivity, and reduce development and maintenance costs.
A positive developer experience (DevEx) increases developer retention. An ineffective workflow cripples software development and reduces productivity and satisfaction, which leads to burnout. C-level executives and IT team leaders must create effective workflows to benefit from improved retention from a positive DevEx.
Cloud computing offers simplicity and flexibility for businesses looking to embrace the cloud. However, moving systems to the cloud introduces vulnerabilities that may be exploited. Cybersecurity teams should use cloud pen testing to uncover weaknesses, bolster their cybersecurity and prevent losses to the enterprise.
Managing customer support across multiple channels and providing quick feedback can be challenging. Businesses can use help desk management software powered by AI to manage customers across all channels, enhance customer service efficiency and improve customer retention.
Developers are the backbone of a growing and competitive software industry. Losing a developer reduces productivity due to time-consuming rehiring processes. C-level executives and IT team leaders can implement a developer experience strategy to improve developer retention, productivity and satisfaction.
LLM jail-breaking (also known as LLM manipulation) forces LLMs to exhibit unwanted behavior. These LLMs may become examples of irresponsible and unethical AI, depending on what they are forced to do. Cybersecurity teams can ensure that their LLMs are responsible and ethical through resilience testing for jailbreaks and implementing multiple guardrails to combat jailbreaks.
As cyber threats escalate, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly targeted by cybercriminals due to their limited cybersecurity resources. This underscores the importance of cyber insurance for SMEs to mitigate financial, operational, and reputational damages. Cyber leaders and business owners must understand cyber insurance, evaluate its necessity, and fortify security measures to safeguard their digital assets, ensure business continuity, and potentially reduce insurance premiums.
