Quantum computing has the potential to change the data security landscape permanently. In as little as five years, it could make the most relied-upon encryption schemes ineffective — making businesses vulnerable to breaches.

Quantum Computing’s Impact on Data Security

Quantum computing can make some of the most common data security measures ineffective. While experts haven’t reached a consensus on how soon it will happen, many agree it will become an issue within the next few decades.

As remote work has surged, so has employee monitoring software. These tools go by many names and serve many purposes, but they all share the same overall function — to keep an eye on what workers are doing. They also share the same questions about privacy and ethics.

Managers need to be able to keep their teams on track. At the same time, they need their employees’ trust, but it’s hard for people to trust someone they feel is looking over their shoulder 24/7. Addressing this balance is key to success in modern workplaces.

AI has proved invaluable to the business and financial technology sectors as an accurate, reliable tool. Naturally, it has made its way into tax preparation and auditing — and is reshaping long-held standards. Will it permanently transform business tax planning?

Last year at this time, we quietly introduced a new website called INFOTECH Pub. It was an effort to see if there was enough interest in a website focused on information technology much in the same way we've seen interest in socPub and CMS Report. Well, the short answer is no.

Remote work has become a blessing for companies and employees worldwide because of its many benefits. But, like with everything else, there's bad that comes with the good. Explore the challenges and dangers associated with remote work, and discover the solutions that can help mitigate its more severe risks.

Financial technology (fintech) products can help people associated with small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) streamline many daily processes. However, adopting new technologies can cause uncertainties, even in highly motivated individuals. 

Change Resistance

Most humans naturally hesitate to make significant changes despite recognizing the associated benefits. That’s primarily because they prefer the familiarity of current processes since doing things differently almost always requires an adjustment period. 

In the tech industry, we often see game-changing trends that redefine how we handle computing. Sometimes, these trends escalate to full-blown explosions of technology usage. It happened with virtual machines (VMs) and now it’s happening with SQL server containers.
