Cybersecurity is the main concern for every company. It doesn’t require an enterprise to be big to be a potential target for a cyber-attack. Data shows that most of the attacks happen as a result of an end-user vulnerability or wrong actions. For example, 83 percent of global organisations experienced phishing attacks during 2018, according to Proofpoint, which analysed end-user responses to more than 130 million questions administered during email-security training over 14 months from January 2018.

Moving the company applications to the cloud is one step that more enterprises are considering and planning to do in 2020.  In the past few years, cloud adoption has increased significantly, as it provides considerable value achieving greater scalability, cost efficiency, and improved performance.

Careers in data science have been listed as the hottest topics in IT in recent years. A recent survey from LinkedIn called “2020 Emerging Jobs Report” listed Data Scientist as one of the top-15 emerging jobs in the UK. It’s no different anywhere else in the world as the profession is getting incredibly popular. Businesses are demanding data scientists more than ever to help them understand their growing databases and uncover useful intelligence. 

We had a busy November around the Country bringing the Microsoft Azure Fundamentals to Limerick, Cork, and Belfast. A full day of training delivered by a Microsoft expert aiming to prepare the delegates to the AZ-900 exam. It was a great opportunity to share knowledge and meet new people from these Cities.
