Cybercriminals are constantly waiting for opportunities to exploit your organization's system security flaws. While the motivations of these hackers vary, be it political, financial, or just to gain notoriety, they all constitute a severe threat to your company's confidential data. There are several points of entry known as security vulnerabilities that are defined by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) community.

As the programming ecosystem proliferates, a number of frameworks, libraries, and tools are being introduced to ease the software development cycle. Not just do they reduce the lines of code, they are mitigating the time between prototyping to production. 

Not too long ago, healthcare was all about personal connections between doctors and patients, using handwritten notes and talking directly. But as healthcare grew and more information about patients came in, it became clear that we needed a better and more organized way of doing things. Hospitals and clinics had to change how they worked, aiming for smoother processes, quicker decision-making, and better communication among healthcare workers.

There are some key DevOps practices that enable organizations to automate and streamline the software development processes. Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD), Continuous Deployment, Microservices, Infrastructure as Code (IaC), Containerization, Monitoring & Logging are a few of them. 

Python has evolved as one of the most versatile programming languages. Introduced in the year 1991, it has become one of the favourite programming languages for developers, startups, and some of the giant tech brands for several reasons. There are thousands of applications built using this server-side programming language.

The healthcare industry is on a constant lookout for digital solutions to conduct the financial, administrative, and clinical operations of a hospital. These days, these are largely carried out by means of a set of informatics tools, collectively known as Hospital Information Systems (HIS). In addition to a  patient's health information, inventory and personnel data are also stored, managed, and transmitted across a HIS.

Did you know that every large-scale, successful enterprise software has one thing in common? This mascot ensures that the software is able to communicate well with its counterparts, survive load, scale resources, and never let the application go down. 

With increasing complexity and demand for highly scalable and robust applications, conventional monolithic architecture is no longer the best choice. After a certain threshold, monolithic architecture tends to hinder application performance and scalability. Moreover, with an enormous codebase, making changes to the tightly coupled, dependent processes in the monolithic architecture drastically increases the impact of single process failure.

In a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, the importance of effective communication cannot be overstated. However, for the millions of individuals in the deaf and hard of hearing community, traditional communication methods often fall short, creating barriers that hinder their full participation in various aspects of life.

On average, a human speaks 700 words per day, which includes the words of actual value (i.e. words that have an intent to communicate to another person). Instant messaging, telephonic conversations, books, movies, songs, verbal (F2F) communication are amongst some of the common ways humans exchange their thoughts and information.
