Mobile security is all about the protection of smartphones, tablets, laptops and all other portable computing devices and the networks they connect to. Protection from what? Protection from the seemingly never-ending threats and vulnerabilities associated with wireless computing. The problem is compounded within the enterprise as the ongoing trend toward IT consumerization is resulting in […]

Mobile users are one of the most active consumers. Some estimates have smartphone users touching their phones nearly 3,000 times a day and spending nearly two and a half hours a day on their mobile phones. Smartphone shipment worldwide is expected to cross 1.6 billion by 2020. If this isn’t the golden age of mobile […]

Systems thinking is a method of critical thinking by which the relationships between the system’s parts are analyzed in order to understand a situation for better decision-making. Systems thinking can be used in any area of research. It contrasts with traditional analysis, which studies systems by breaking them down into their separate elements. Five key […]

The future provides exciting opportunities for systems engineers and systems engineering as increased technological complexity brings new challenges in architecture, networks, hardware and software engineering, and human systems integration. At the same time, the engineering scale for systems exceeds levels that could not have been imagined only a short time ago. Consequently, all forms of […]

Software engineering forms the basis of operational design and development to all computer systems. It is concerned with designing, writing , testing , implementing and maintaining software. Software engineering involves a number of other fields also that cover the process of engineering software and certification including: requirements gathering, software construction, software configuration management, software engineering […]

Renewable energy is making its move. Eighteen percent of all electricity in the United States was produced by renewable sources in 2017, including solar, wind and hydroelectric dams. That’s up from 15 percent in 2016. According to data released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), by the end of 2017, global renewable generation capacity […]

Reliability engineering is a sub-discipline of systems engineering that emphasizes dependability in the lifecycle management of a product. Dependability, or reliability, describes the ability of a system or component to function understated conditions for a specified period of time. The primary role of the reliability engineer is to identify and manage asset reliability risks that could adversely affect plant or […]

The purpose of leadership training is to give leaders new skills to help them change their behaviors to go from being a top individual contributor to a leader of people. Leadership training alone won’t make this conversion, but it’s a good place to start. Every time you practice newly acquired leadership skills, neurons in your […]

Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a popular and often-used technique that helps people answer the question of why the problem occurred in the first place. It seeks to identify the origin of a problem using a specific set of steps, with associated tools, to find the primary cause of the problem. Finding the genesis of […]
