ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Artificial intelligence (AI) is wide-ranging branch of
computer science concerned with building smart machines capable
of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence.
AI is an interdisciplinary science with multiple approaches,
but advancements in machine learning and deep learning are
creating a paradigm shift in virtually every sector of the tech industry.

MACHINE LEARNING

Machine learning is a method of data analysis that
automates analytical model building. It is a branch of
artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can
learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with
minimal human intervention.Machine learning is the scientific
study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems
use to perform a specific task without using explicit
instructions, relying on patterns and inference instead.
It is seen as a subset of artificial intelligence.

ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION (RPA)

Robotic process automation (RPA) is the application of
technology that allows employees in a company to configure
computer software or a “robot” to capture and interpret
existing applications for processing a transaction,
manipulating data, triggering responses and communicating
with other digital systems.Robotic process automation is
a form of business process automation technology based on
metaphorical software robots or artificial intelligence workers.

EDGE COMPUTING

Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm which
brings computation and data storage closer to the location
where it is needed, to improve response times and save
bandwidth.Edge computing optimizes internet devices and web
applications by bringing computing closer to the source of the
data. This minimizes the need for long distance
communications between client and server,
which reduces latency and bandwidth usage.

VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY

Augmented reality and virtual reality are inverse
reflections of one in another with what each technology
seeks to accomplish and deliver for the user. Virtual reality
offers a digital recreation of a real life setting, while augmented
reality delivers virtual elements as an overlay to the real
world.Virtual reality is possible through a coding
language known as VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language)
which can be used to create a series of images, and specify
what types of interactions are possible for them.

BLOCKCHAIN

A blockchain a time-stamped series of immutable records of
data that is managed by a cluster of computers not owned by
any single entity. Each of these blocks of data (i.e. block)
is secured and bound to each other using cryptographic
principles (i.e. chain).The blockchain network has no central
authority — it is the very definition of a democratized
system. Since it is a shared and immutable ledger, the
information in it is open for anyone and everyone to see.
Hence, anything that is built on the blockchain is by its
very nature transparent and everyone involved is accountable
for their actions.

INTERNET OF THINGS

The internet of things, or IoT, is a system of interrelated computing
devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are
provided with unique identifiers (UIDs) and the ability to transfer data over a
network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.The
internet of things helps people live and work smarter, as well as gain
complete control over their lives. In addition to offering smart devices to
automate homes, IoT is essential to business. IoT provides businesses with a
real-time look into how their systems really work, delivering insights into
everything from the performance of machines to supply chain and logistics operations.

CYBER SECURITY

Cybersecurity is the practice of protecting systems, networks, and programs
from digital attacks. These cyberattacks are usually aimed at accessing,
changing, or destroying sensitive information; extorting money from users; or
interrupting normal business processes.A successful cybersecurity approach has
multiple layers of protection spread across the computers, networks, programs,
or data that one intends to keep safe. In an organization, the people,
processes, and technology must all complement one another to create an effective
defense from cyber attacks. A unified threat management system can automate
integrations across select Cisco Security products and accelerate key
security operations functions: detection, investigation, and remediation.
