It’s interesting to see how the UK government is taking cyber security more seriously through larger investments in training!

“This is according to a Freedom of Information (FOI) request by political think tank Parliament Street, which found the Cabinet Office lavished £274,142.85 on cybersecurity training for staff in the 2020/21 financial year, with courses including ""The Art of Hacking"", ""Digital Forensics Fundamentals"", and ""Ethical Hacking.""
Compared to the £47,018 forked out on similar courses in the previous year, that’s a whopping 483 per cent increase in spending.”

NEED TO PERFORM FINANCIAL DATA ANALYSIS? WHY PYTHON IS YOUR BEST TOOL!

“Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is an important part of every data scientist’s workflow. EDA allows data scientists to summarize the most important characteristics of the data they’re working with. In the case of financial data analysis, this includes generating simple summary statistics such as standard deviation in returns and average returns, visualizing relationships between stocks through correlation heatmaps, generating stock price time series plots, boxplots, and more…”

"There are a lot of questions and uncertainty surrounding data protection. Highlighting the imperfections is the basis for implementing future improvements.

“Expressing frustration with this state of affairs, Caspar pointed to a backlog of 28 cases against big tech firms in Ireland as a central sign of GDPR dysfunction. He sees infighting among privacy commissioners as a central reason for delayed decisions and eventual disappointing fines, with the door being opened to this by rules that have vague wording and leave too much room for interpretation.”

"Microsoft is implementing AI techniques to help software developers by suggesting code. Making for a much smoother and streamlined experience!

“Researchers at Microsoft and other institutions have been trying to teach computers to write code for decades. The concept has yet to go mainstream, at times because programs to write programs have not been versatile enough. The GitHub Copilot effort is a notable attempt in the field, relying as it does on a large volume of code in many programming languages and vast Azure cloud computing power.”

Application of data goes beyond the corporate world. Innovation mixed with machine learning techniques can potentially save lives!

“Cleary’s team aimed to develop more robust forecasting techniques based on the data gathered by heat sensors – which are often installed alongside smoke alarms in modern US homes. While these devices tend to fail above 150 °C, the team believes that prior to failure, data from the sensors can be used to measure temperature trends in rooms and track the distribution of heat throughout a building. From this information, machine learning algorithms could predict when and where flashovers will occur.”
