Security breaches have become increasingly common, causing organizations to seek a proactive approach to protect their sensitive information. The increasing number of cyber attacks, data breaches, and security vulnerabilities have exposed organizations to significant financial, legal, and reputational risks.

The unprecedented proliferation of data generated by various digital sources has left businesses grappling with the complexities of managing large volumes of data. According to a report by IDC, the digital universe data is expected to reach 180 zettabytes by 2025. This massive amount of data presents significant challenges for organizations in terms of storage, processing, and analysis.

The emergence of the Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline has been a major game-changer in the software development sphere. It allows businesses to meet rapidly-evolving requirements and ensure steady growth by enabling continuous innovation at scale.

Enterprise software systems that help manage the workflows of large-scale organizations need Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) for ensuring their availability, resilience, and of course, their reliability. SRE involves monitoring the software system's performance and performing code fixes whenever problems arise. So, it is no surprise that observability is a crucial aspect of SRE and requires apt methodologies and automation tools to enforce.

A large chunk of software development today takes place in cloud-based environments, with cross-organizational networks for resource sharing and data exchange. This opens up the applications and resources to several cyber threats that exploit common vulnerabilities and attack routes. Therefore, solutions for application security also referred to as AppSec, have become a necessary component of the software development lifecycle.

Drupal is amongst the most popular, open-source content management platforms. It has established itself in the market and has been growing since its launch. Community support for Drupal has made great strides and is always on track to stay up to date with the latest technology integrations. 

Technologies have become the primary vehicle of progress, which is true. However, there’s also the flip side of the coin: early subpar technological choices, if left unpruned, can result in technical debt. It may even lead to higher development costs, long time-to-market, and reduced productivity. With so much at stake, managing technical debt should be a priority both for CTOs and software developers.

Rolling out a new software system, infrastructure, or technology solution for an industry such as healthcare or personal finance has critical end-user outcomes. Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) refers to a robust scale often used by pioneering software organizations throughout their development efforts.

PyTorch and TensorFlow are two of the most widely relied-upon frameworks for Deep Learning (DL) research and industry implementation. While both these DL development frameworks haven't been around too long, they have made a significant mark in AI/ML research and innovation.  However, when it comes to which between PyTorch and TensorFlow is the better framework, there has not been a clear consensus.

The healthcare systems market has witnessed a large-scale shift towards more patient-centered care models in the recent past. The Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) is one of the most reliable ways to measure patient satisfaction which can help digital patient-facing and patient-monitoring doctors' apps meet leading market standards.
