Crowdsource Innovation Digitalization is fundamental to facing the world’s biggest challenges, which depend on connectivity and digital skills, yet, connectivity inequality still exists. Among other key factors, digitalization can increase national resilience by bridging the digital divide for better economic growth and social inclusion. A paradigm shift in connectivity is taking place, evident through the rapid scaling of 5G, forecasted to reach 5 billion by the end of 2028, according to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report . Ericsson was founded on the premise that communication is a basic human need. Yet, today’s biggest inequality may be between the connected and unconnected. While we need to harness the power of digitalization to face a series of fundamental challenges – economic slowdowns, energy crises and a changing climate – connectivity is a foundation for digitalization, as are the skills to use digital tools. Around the world, mobile networks play a crucial role in providing connectivity, with more than 6 billion subscribers on mobile networks today – more than the number of toothbrushes. Let’s look at five areas in which digitalization can encourage the resilience we’ll need in 2023. Have you read? 1. Improved networks and coverage Connectivity is a cornerstone for […]

Just weeks after a report from the National Audit Office (NAO) cast doubt on the ability of the BBC to build a digital-first public service media organisation and manage the future demands of viewers and listeners, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) has also questioned the corporation’s capability in achieving its digital ambitions, with MPs expressing particular concern over any pushback on previously stated guarantees in how it could manage a vast increase in acquiring personal data on UK licence fee payers. The BBC first announced its digital transformation plan in May 2022, with, said BBC director-general Tim Davie , a commitment to build a digital media organisation that made a significant positive impact culturally, economically and socially, and one that would be a global leader. Moreover, this would be an organisation that put digital first when creating content, and one driven by “the search for truth, impartiality, outstanding creativity and independence”. To achieve these objectives, the BBC said it would reallocate money towards content that works in the on-demand world, such as the iPlayer on-demand, live and catch-up TV platform , making “tough choices” on traditional distribution and investing more in online services. Indeed, the BBC was planning for […]

By Anand Oswal, Senior Vice President and GM at cyber security leader Palo Alto Networks Critical infrastructure forms the fabric of our society, providing power for our homes and businesses, fuel for our vehicles, and medical services that preserve human health. With the acceleration of digital transformation spurred by the pandemic, larger and larger volumes of critical infrastructure and services have become increasingly connected. Operational technology (OT) serves a critical role as sensors in power plants, water treatment facilities, and a broad range of industrial environments. Digital transformation has also led to a growing convergence between OT and information technology (IT). All of this connection brings accessibility benefits, but it also introduces a host of potential security risks. Cyberattacks on critical infrastructure threaten many aspects of our lives It’s a hard fact that there isn’t an aspect of life today free from cyberthreat. Ransomware and phishing attacks continue to proliferate, and in recent years, we’ve also seen an increasing number of attacks against critical infrastructure targets. Even in environments where OT and IT have been traditionally segmented or even air-gapped, these environments have largely converged, presenting attackers with the ability to find an initial foothold and then escalate their […]
