People once spoke about blockchain and Bitcoin in the same breath. Yes,
the technology was created for the secure distribution of cryptocurrencies.
Today, blockchain is powering FMCG, logistics and warehousing, healthcare,
manufacturing, retail, banking and financial services.
The banking and financial services industry has been the first mover in the
adoption of blockchain. In fact, almost 90 percent of North American and
European banks were exploring blockchain and its applications in 2018.
With the integration of blockchain into banking systems, we will see faster
remittances, clearances and settlements. Blockchain will also make banking
transactions more secure.
Our Cover Story has examples of how global banks have embraced
blockchain. On the flip side, it examines how startups are contributing with
their cutting-edge innovation.
BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is a concept that has been around for years,
but these days the discussion has shifted to BYOA (Applications). How is this
trend likely to shape out in the future? To find out, read the story ‘6 Facts You
Should Know About the Future of BYOD’ in the Buzz section.
We also have an exclusive interview with Robert Huber, the CSO of Tenable.
He says predictive prioritization technology is helping organizations
focus on the most critical exploits—from 16,000 vulnerabilities identified
last year. CISO’s can now enjoy a good night’s sleep, thanks to predictive
prioritization.
