Walnut’s Newest Revenue-Boosting Product is Revolutionizing Sales

NY Weekly Staff on September 22, 2022

Long sales processes and cycles have always been the norm. Sales teams simply have to navigate the tricky system that’s vulnerable to faults and often rely on instincts rather than get a data-driven backup to do the work. But as the age of digitalization advances, traditional sales models rapidly decline as more advanced models emerge. Walnut, a cloud-based sales experience platform that helps SaaS companies, has been one of the leading solution providers to disrupt the industry by giving salespeople comprehensive data and expert tools to optimize sales, including tailoring strategies to specific buyer use cases. Today, they’re taking it a step further as they launch their newest product suite: Walnut Beyond Demos. 

This product offers never-before-seen data to reps that will help them better connect with customers and predict their behavior throughout the sales process.

How Artificial Intelligence Saves Businesses (and Consumers) Money

NY Weekly Staff on September 19, 2022

Advanced technology is never cheap. The latest technology innovations tend to be exclusive, and the more difficult it is to access certain assets, the more expensive they will be. To use cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence, for example, organizations need to hire executives who understand AI tech enough to integrate it into business strategy; they need AI technicians capable of maintaining AI-driven systems; and they need to afford licenses to AI platforms and tools.

Yet, the costs associated with artificial intelligence are vastly outweighed by their cost-saving benefits. Here are a few reasons why AI is among the most cost-effective technology solutions of modern history and how business leaders can harness this power to benefit all stakeholders.

AI Enhances Efficiency

Businesses lose between 20 and 30 percent of their revenue to inefficiency. Slow and laborious processes, unnecessary redundancies and mistakes all contribute to major financial losses, and because businesses can use every penny to grow, those losses can significantly hinder an organization’s success. Artificial intelligence tends to move faster than the typical human worker, especially at the most tedious jobs, and well-trained AIs are able to identify and remove redundancies without the likelihood of costly mistakes.

AI Empowers Employees

While the most monotonous tasks tend to cause human workers to disengage, these tasks are what make AI systems thrive. Thus, by reassigning simple and dull processes to an artificial intelligence, a business provides its employees with more time for the responsibilities they enjoy and appreciate. AI tools empower workers to get more done while expending less energy on the jobs they dislike, helping them to feel that they are contributing substantively to their organization.

AI Enhances Value

In many markets, AI is not yet in widespread use. Therefore, businesses can gain a significant advantage by integrating AI solutions before their competitors. AI can generate value by giving a company a tech-forward reputation in its market and by targeting and personalizing marketing messages in ways that more effectively attract consumer attention and appreciation.

Examples of Cost-saving AI Tools

Different businesses will leverage AI in different ways to save money. Thus, it benefits business leaders who are unfamiliar with AI tools to enroll in artificial intelligence courses to better understand how to implement this new technology for the improvement of their unique organization. To inspire business leaders to adopt AI applications and systems, here are five tools proven to cut costs and improve profits:

Email Marketing Services

Even in the 2020s, email marketing remains among the most effective ways for businesses to engage past and future customers. Leveraging AI in email marketing campaigns, organizations can optimize and personalize their messages to customers, increasing the effectiveness of the emails they send to customers and thereby increasing the potential for customer conversion.

Chatbots

Offering access to customer service around the clock can be expensive when a company needs to maintain a staff of human customer service representatives. However, organizations that can offload basic queries to an AI-led chatbot service will save ample time and money. AI applications can run 24/7 without extra incentives, delivering high-quality customer service exactly when customers need it.

Application Assessment

Artificial intelligence should not be the only tool in use during the recruitment process, but it can be valuable in reducing the workload of hiring teams and identifying top talent for certain roles. AI programs can be tasked with assessing applications — scanning for keywords, identifying concerns and scoring job candidates — to give HR teams or hiring managers access to the best candidates first.

Cybersecurity

Cyberattacks can cost a business tens of thousands of dollars in downtime, lost opportunities and recovery measures. Thus, organizations need to commit to efficient and effective cybersecurity — ideally cybersecurity that is driven by AI. Artificial intelligence helps cybersecurity systems respond faster and more accurately to new and unexpected threats, keeping company data safe.

Invoice Management

Extracting relevant data from invoices is a tedious job — which makes it a perfect task to outsource to AI. AI-based invoice management systems are capable of scanning, separating and analyzing invoices to identify valuable and actionable information without the need for intricate templates. Thus, the accounts payable department can be smaller and more efficient in their processes.

In many ways, artificial intelligence still feels like a technology of the future, so many business leaders expect AI tools to have a hefty price tag. Fortunately, the benefits of AI can vastly outweigh its costs — as long as leaders are able to identify the AI solutions and strategies best for their business.

Transform Your Life With Ron Bauer, The Founder Of Theseus Capital, Whose Mentoring Founders and Entrepreneurs On The Future Of Technology

NY Weekly Staff on September 14, 2022

Ron Bauer, the dynamic Venture Capitalist and Financial Engineer with over 20 years of international Private Equity experience has now set his sights on giving back to dynamic founders. Through mentoring and coaching entrepreneurs, founders, and SMEs,’ Bauer aims to take you on a journey to broaden your mind for the future and beyond.

Every day we are at the mercy of a rising technology – artificial intelligence (AI). As overwhelming as it may seem, this technology isn’t new. For the past half a century, it’s been an innovative growing phenomenon. Like all plateaued lines, it’s hard to tell when a spike will skyrocket, but over the past few years, AI has become the next ‘big thing’ whether we like it or not.

Thanks to data and advanced processing speeds, computers can quickly make sense of information. Because of this, venture capitalists are fusing this continuously evolving technology into our heavily advanced market system.

It has become so successful that in 2019, about $35.8 billion was invested in worldwide AI to design machines built for human beings to perform various tasks more efficiently. In fact even Asia Pacific is on its way to investing about $5.5 billion in an artificial intelligence system, which is up 80% since 2018. It’s rising so fast that researchers and procedures indicate that by 2026, humans will support about $8 billion in the AI health care systems alone. 

So if the future is inevitable, how far is too far?

A powerful individual who knows a lot about adapting to change is well known business investor and coaching guru, Ron Bauer. One of his most outstanding personal qualities is his “ability to adapt to changing economic climates and diversifying sectors.”

With extensive insight into multiple sectors, including life sciences, technology, gaming, natural resources, and AI, the successful venture capitalist and now life coach and mentor is on a mission to push his future clients to greatness.

If you are a budding entrepreneur, founder, or SME’ in the technology sector, contact Ron Bauer to take you to the top, through the future, and beyond. 

With a passion for helping founders and entrepreneurs make their dreams a reality, serial entrepreneur and Theseus Capital founder Ron Bauer discusses the pros and cons of AI and technology:

Pro: The Future Is Inevitable As Humans Move Up The Cognitive Scale. 

Today, we need AI and technology as much as it requires us to function. Given intelligence and automation value, we will continue improving our technology if we can. Artificial intelligence has become so dependent on our society that something would have to destroy our civilization to stop us from exploring further. AI is everywhere. It’s in our homes, cars, schools, and at work. 

So where, if ever, does it stop? With an entirely new plethora of exciting opportunities at our fingertips that allow people to rethink how we integrate information, analyze data, and use the resulting insights to improve decision-making, what better way to do so than by creating systems that do it for us? 

But an increase in AI and technology calls for more experienced mindsets to build, design, and pull together these machines outperforming superhuman intelligence already. We need people in the field with in-depth knowledge of these categories to pave the way for our future generations.

Con: Robots Are Replacing Jobs Which In Turn Promotes Laziness In Humans. 

But, once seen as a ‘killing mechanism’ is now treated with a bit more nuance. The fear now is that AI and technology will replace us; they will take our jobs and industries and change everything and make us irrelevant. Every organization is looking to replace the lesser qualified individuals with AI robots that can do similar work more efficiently. 

Especially when it comes to repetitive tasks, human interference is becoming less, which could cause a significant problem in the employment standards. Not to mention making humans lazy with its applications automating most of the work. Humans tend to get addicted to these inventions, which can cause a problem for future generations.

Pro: You Can Start Up A Business For As Little As $1000 

With more AI and technology taking over, the online job space has opened up numerous possibilities for individuals to take on a passion or purpose. Starting up your own business has never been so easy. It is here that people can express themselves to the world, working with assets like the metaverse, Internet, and social media to create a synthetic intelligence that is better and smarter than either side.

Con: Everybody In Today’s Generation Wants To Be A Boss.

However, according to Smart Insights, with the number of social media users globally growing from 4.2 billion in January 2021 to 4.62 billion in January 2022, the competition in the marketing sector could prove to be complicated. 

This is why having a mentor or guide who has reached success through technology and AI is crucial. The biggest advantage of having a mentor is that they have already achieved a level of success or something that you yourself are pursuing. “This is not an automated process – it’s a human connection from someone who has done it multiple times over and over,” shares Bauer. 

By finding creative solutions along the way, a mentor or business coach will share these insights with you, decreasing the time it takes for you to reach their level and maximizing your chance of success. 

In the end, a developing system always has advantages and disadvantages. Every new invention or breakthrough will have both, but we as humans need to take care of that and use the positive sides of the design to create a better world. If it is inevitable, our need to learn and grow through mentorship is crucial in this sector.

Ron Bauer has a proven track record of raising capital across all sectors in ever-changing market conditions, taking dozens of companies with him to the top. “Hiring someone like me as your business coach or mentor would be a massive life-saving opportunity. I’m also the least expensive part of the equation, but I only work with a few select founders at a time,” explains Bauer.

The Impact Of OCR Technology In The Corporate Sector

NY Weekly Staff on September 5, 2022

Optical character recognition (OCR) technology has been around for quite some time now, and it is quickly becoming an innovative and accurate solution for digitization and document scanning. OCR software technology has the ability to turn any device into a portable scanner that converts paper-based documents like scanned paper, PDF files, and even images shot using a digital camera into searchable and editable data. OCR Software is especially beneficial for companies as it is a great way to make any information available to them with just one click of a button.

The real question is how OCR is changing the corporate sector

According to research by the Association for Information and Image Management (AIIM), the use of OCR software is expected to grow dramatically over the next few years. Many companies have already started to take advantage of this technology by digitizing their records and converting them into digital files that are accessible anytime and anywhere through cloud technology and mobile devices. This way, they can significantly reduce the time and effort needed to process and manage important documents and keep their employees productive and efficient.

IS OCR THE FUTURE OF THE CORPORATE SECTOR?

As per the survey mentioned above, 56% of respondents already use some form of OCR software in their organization, while nearly 40% are planning to implement an OCR solution shortly. This indicates that this emerging technology is gradually gaining popularity among enterprises of all sizes due to its numerous benefits. When it comes to the benefits of OCR software, the list is quite long and includes increased productivity and efficiency, improved workflow management, increased security and reliability, and better customer experience. Companies can use OCR software to improve the way they operate and become more competitive in the marketplace. By digitizing all their documents and automating routine business processes, they can reduce operational costs and achieve higher productivity levels.

What does the future hold for OCR?

Several things have started happening with the adoption of OCR technology in the corporate sector in recent years. According to Global Market Insights, Inc., the global market for OCR technologies is expected to expand at a CAGR of around 16% over the next four years. The global OCR market is expected to be worth around $39,655 million by 2030. According to the report, North America is currently the largest market for OCR technologies, accounting for over 30% of the market in 2018. The APAC region is expected to set the record for the highest growth rate over the next five years.

According to the Dallas Business Journal, one of the key factors driving the growth of this market is the growing adoption of advanced technologies such as loT, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and machine learning. They are being used in the healthcare and manufacturing industries to streamline business processes and increase operational efficiency.

In the end, it can be said that the use of OCR technologies in the corporate sector is growing at a rapid pace. Their use can help organizations streamline business operations, reduce costs and improve employee productivity. However, OCR still has some limitations and challenges that need to be overcome before this technology becomes ubiquitous. 

ActiVote Empowers Voters, Buoys Democracy

NY Weekly Staff on August 30, 2022

Nowadays, almost everyone knows the importance of voting, even in midterm and local elections. After all, our votes help determine the direction of our country. 

However, researching and choosing a candidate, physically voting, and getting our selected candidates into office can be complex and confusing, especially in this climate of increased gerrymandering. One app has been developed and unleashed to help guide people through the muddy waters of voting, and keep people informed and poised to make good decisions that speak to their best interests. 

Developed by tech experts and co-founders Sara Gifford, Victor Allis (CEO), and Paul-Erik Raué (CTO), ActiVote is a nonpartisan application that allows voters to organize and plan their voting.

Solving the Problem of Why People Don’t Vote 

Through their initial research, Gifford and her team discovered that people often fail to vote for several reasons. Many found voting too difficult, claiming that they feel separated from the campaigns and valuable information about candidates. Voting can be very time-consuming, especially with new mandates that have made mail-in/absentee voting more difficult in some states. Moreover, some people are still unaware of when voting occurs, particularly with primary elections which, in some areas, can be critical in determining the trajectory of a political landscape. Even more still get confused by the procedures and system surrounding the voting process. 

The ActiVote app was explicitly designed to take some of the mystery out of the voting process, allowing voters to not only gather information about candidates and races, but find out where voting is taking place and how to register and physically vote. The app cuts through all of the noise that often crops up surrounding an election cycle and presents information in a clear-cut and accessible manner. 

“We wanted to be a one-stop shop that’s for voters, not campaigns, to offer them simple, consumable information. It’s like the Duolingo of democracy,” says Gifford. 

And much like Duolingo’s language-learning mobile app, Gifford is hopeful that ActiVote will significantly increase political literacy and understanding in the United States, leading to more active participation in our democracy.

The ActiVote app is designed to be easy and accessible. Users input their home addresses and are given access to all local, state, and national elections they are eligible to vote in. Voters can see where their polling places are located and find out whether they are able to vote by mail and how. The app sends notification alerts, so users never miss an election — no matter how local. 

Daily Democracy 

The ActiVote app also focuses on building habits, not just disseminating one-time bite-sized morsels of political information. Through #DailyDemocracy, app users will be given one small action a day to help them build their “political muscle.” The hope is that these small actions will lead to more active and engaged voters. 

“Confidence inspires action, and we aim to create confidence in the electoral process,” explains Gifford. 

Taking just one minute a day, #DailyDemocracy allows users to add their voice to the public discourse, support candidates with whom they agree, and find others who feel the same way they do about important issues. Prompts are sent with questions regarding policy. Users can see where they fall on the political matrix by answering questions, and they can even rank candidates and see instant poll results within the app. With connections to social media accounts and friends, users can even encourage others to vote and participate in local, state, and federal elections.

This active involvement serves to empower the electorate to educate themselves. Users can earn badges for increased engagement and inspire other users with digital lawn signs, answering questions about policies, and overall increases in civic engagement through the app. 

An Educated and Informed Electorate 

Thomas Jefferson once wrote, “An enlightened citizenry is indispensable for the proper functioning of a republic.” This notion still holds true today. 

ActiVote internal research found that, following its release in 2019, the ActiVote app successfully got infrequent voters to the polls. Their metrics showed that, within the non-frequent voter cohort, people who engaged with their app were 33% more likely to vote. With critical issues on the ballots and incredibly close races happening at all levels — from school boards to the Oval Office — every vote counts. 

The way politicians and grassroots campaign canvassers try to get out the vote and spread information often involves some very old-school tactics. While going door-to-door to stump for a candidate can be marginally effective, this method is time-consuming, costly, and may ruffle some feathers. By putting all the information in one place and allowing people to access that information on their own terms and at a time most convenient to them, the chances of influencing that educated elector to vote increase. 

ActiVote gives people all of the necessary information to educate themselves in the palm of their hands. “It’s on their terms, and we are providing nonpartisan, factual, unbiased information,” says Gifford.

While there is no singular solution to increasing the number of people who get to the polls, the founders of ActiVote see a bright future for their app’s influence on the electorate. Gifford sees the app as buoying our democracy. “Democracy is at its best when as many people as possible participate.”

Marketing Platform and Startup Manycontent Utilizes Artificial Intelligence for Marketing Content with Images and Texts

NY Weekly Staff on August 29, 2022

In the last five years, Brazil has occupied considerable space in the international technology market from companies well known to the public, such as Nubank, Ifood, Mercado Livre and the most recent Brex, from the new Brazilian billionaires Pedro Franceschi and Henrique Dubugras. The increasing number of Brazilian technology companies reaching the international market portrays the right moment for developing scalable digital businesses worldwide.

This competition is increasing. There are dozens of new Brazilian companies about to become “unicorns” in the global market due to ideas that caught investors’ attention and users’ interest, enabling international operations.

Among the promising startups, Manycontent from Santos on the coast of São Paulo is a highlight in the marketing area. It bets on artificial intelligence developed to save time for people who create content for themselves or companies on social networks.

The idea came from the founder Christian Barbosa, who in 2018 brought the current CEO of the company Bruno Mello and the current CTO Anderson Alves to be partners to act in the development, management and sales of the platform. In August of that year, they launched Manycontent’s Alfa on the market, with the support of famous Brazilian angel investor and serial entrepreneur Jonathas Freitas, who also became a partner in the startup. Jonathas is already recognized in the market for having founded and invested in more than 40 technology startups in Brazil, including Blitzpay and Touroclass, current industry highlights. In 2021 he was considered one of the most critical people in Brazil in the technology field by Jornal de Brasilia. 

Since its founding in 2018 until now, Manycontent has grown, surpassing the USD 10 million mark in the international market and appearing on the lists of Brazilian companies with the potential to become unicorns due to expansion to other countries, including the United States.

In an interview, Bruno Mello spoke about the receptivity of the international public: “The arrival abroad was excellent! As Manycontent is a differentiated and complete platform, we bring convenience, security and assertiveness to customers. Therefore, in countries that have a superheated market for content, we are doing very well. In those that are still in their infancy, we are opening up opportunities and having extremely positive feedbacks,” said the CEO of Manycontent.

And it’s no wonder their technology can collect data and use it to develop personalized art and texts for a particular person or company on the internet, all designed taking into account what’s trending on the networks and what will be able to engage within that segment, all automatically, with the possibility of disapproving or approving content and even editing it. All user history on the platform is also transformed into data to improve the experience with each use.

In all, more than 700 thousand projects have been created on the platform, which has already conquered more than 5 thousand users internationally, in two different versions, the first in Portuguese and the most recent in English.

When we talk about artificial intelligence doing people’s work, there is always controversy; however, in this case, the objective is that this technology is an ally in this sense and can be a tool capable of scaling the business for agencies and professionals who usually work creating content. Bruno believes that with this technology, professionals in the area can ignite business: “Agencies or social media managers cannot easily scale their business, as everything has to go through people. Today, we have hundreds of agencies and social media managers working with Manycontent. They outsource content creation with the platform, and with that, they are able to scale their business absurdly and serve many more customers,” said the content marketing specialist.

 We are facing a Brazilian startup that sowed a brilliant idea in 2018, which is about to become an indispensable tool in the world of content marketing at a global level in the coming years. 

The technology is available in the United States, and people can find it on www.manycontent.com/ 

Atelier Meats Poses Lab-Grown Structured Meat as the Solution for the Global Food Crisis

NY Weekly Staff on August 22, 2022

It is already known that food shortage is a global crisis. With food being one of the most critical world resources, this drove the biotechnology company Atelier Meats to find alternative solutions to this problem; Lab-grown structured meat, to be exact.

“Structured meats” are parts of livestock that are used as meat. On the other hand, lab-grown structured meats are a technological advancement that Atelier Meats is trying to achieve. Creating complex structures using Lab-grown meat is a “cleaner, more ethical approach to bringing quality meat to the dinner table,” as their website mentions.

Through their advanced study and a multidisciplinary team composed of Biochemists, Pharmacists, Biologists and Biomedical Engineers, the company could reach a distant point in developing structured meats such as pork chops, steaks and chicken legs in a laboratory. “We are harnessing advanced biotechnology, combined with tissue engineering and process development to bring tasteful and delicious meats to the table,” shares Atelier Meats’ website. 

The purpose-driven project uses cutting-edge lab-developed technology to help solve the food crisis. “Atelier’s science and technology eliminates disease, eliminates famine, and eliminates contamination.” shares their website. Collaborating with experts from Rutgers University’s Departments of Biomedical Engineering, Biomaterials Research and Chemical biology, the company is working to procure advancements in tissue engineering, process development, cell culture, and quality systems integration, aiming to hopefully create an institution that could fundamentally create a new way of producing sustainable and quality meat for our table.

The impact of this is that lab-grown structured meats are beneficial. Among these benefits is cleaner air, as mass livestock production significantly contributes to the rising greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. The technology also aims to lessen the cases of hunger and malnutrition by researching the significant health benefits of lab-grown meat. In addition, water quality will also be positively affected as farming contributes to water pollution. 

In line with its core values, Atelier Meats continually values food safety as one of its main priorities. Although the company is way more advanced than most of its peers and competitors, it still works to ensure that important factors in food safety are considered and reviewed. Developing lab-grown structured meats contains lots of meticulous procedures. First, they isolate the ECM (Extracellular Matrix) that becomes the building blocks of the meat. They then develop sequences of stem cells from the ECM to culture and expand the meat. Lastly, high-precision and advanced technology create high-quality structured meats by cultivating the expanded meat. Throughout the process, Atelier does not use any form of genetic engineering. Instead, the innovation uses cultured stem cells that are then utilized to mass-produce lab-grown meats.

The advancement behind the Atelier’s method of meat creation is unique and could potentially be one of the solutions that the world needs to create supply for the ever-growing demand for food. In addition, the startup’s lab-grown meats have the potential to be better palatable meats that are free from any of the most common diseases that get transferred to humans upon consumption. 

Like most of their work and research, Atelier Meats itself is still a budding company that strives for the betterment of our world. Despite the skepticism of some consumers and the unorthodox way of producing one of the world’s most valued resources, the team continually works nonstop to develop the potentially groundbreaking product that could shape the future of food production.

Everyone in the internet age has a digital persona. The days of small conversation to access someone’s social or professional circle are long gone. Our digital avatar does all the work for us in the contemporary world. With just a few taps and clicks, you can establish connections with influential people in your business, making networking more critical than ever. The possibilities that come with such an incredible advancement are limitless. According to Emir Ceric, CEO of cybersecurity company Meveto Inc., “networking is a skill that may propel you to the top of any industry in the current digital era.” With the power of the digital world, your success is limited to your imagination.  

The CEO of Meveto and VEEVUS, Emir Ceric, started his first company VEEVUS in 2009. Today, this company is the industry leader for threads and tinsels. Emir has been featured numerous times in media, including Tech Times, CEO Sector, Yahoo, and Business Insider, because of his contributions to the business world. He is admired for his innovative ideas and can-do attitude and has been known for groundbreaking innovation in the tech world.

While discussing innovation as a component of success, Emir believes that the world needs innovators now more than ever. Technology has always pushed the boundaries of our present reality, creating new opportunities for creativity and innovation. Ideas, innovative concepts, and creations are in high demand and needed for our survival. Therefore, innovation will enable you to differentiate yourself from the opposition in your industry and establish you as a leader on the path to success. Out-of-the-box thinking can help us find solutions that are not just approachable but also can change the world as we see it. You will have a competitive advantage if you create and offer something unique to the market. He explained that many good ideas need work and that an idea by itself is useless without implementation and hard work.

With the advancements of the social world and web 3.0, we have practically uploaded our lives online and made every aspect of our personalities accessible to anyone who wants to connect with us, claims security expert Emir Ceric. Because of the digital migration, it is now necessary for us to participate in the online community for a certain industry. If we want to be seen as significant members of that business, it is also required for our social life. Despite how terrifying it looks, this is the new world we live in. There is no real exception to this rule, according to Emir, who adds that “Every single company field has an online cosmos where important trends and concepts are growing every day, and those who neglect its true potential will always be one step behind.”

Emir shines the light on how we all are risking our whole lively hood, privacy, and secrets by sticking to old and conventional methods of password protection. “Every year, 81% of security breaches are caused by weak passwords. According to what I’ve learned from my research, passwords are fundamentally insecure since they are fixed, which means they are always the same, and once taken, they may be used again,” Emir says. “Multi-factor authentication has been tried, but it hasn’t been successful since it is frequently too difficult and inaccessible. Because hackers can repeatedly spam your account until they successfully guess your login and password, passwords and authentication are meaningless. Meveto was created with the knowledge that the current system is intrinsically unstable,” he added.

Meveto gives you additional choices and ultimate command over your accounts, according to Emir. “Meveto offers secure solutions for remotely logging out of accounts in case, for example, you left an account open on a public computer or another device. Meveto makes it simple and secure to sign in to any account on any device. In contrast to just adding more layers, which have already been shown to be ineffective, we set out to streamline authentication.” Meveto cannot just help you protect your passwords; it gives you one simple platform to access all your banking apps, social profiles, and secret chats.

It is difficult to avoid technological advancement in a more digital society on a personal and professional level. Technology is everywhere, from our household appliances that use the incredibly useful Internet of Things to our office equipment that connects to the cloud for optimal productivity. Cyber risks are also everywhere, but with Meveto, you can stay secure on all platforms. Cybersecurity expert Emir Ceric thinks that average users should receive basic training to protect themselves from online attacks. Using passwords like memorable dates, phone numbers, or pet names can be dangerous. Internet security should not be taken lightly, it is a blessing and should be used to be benefited from, but the threats on many platforms are not just real but completely ruthless. Using software like Meveto, we cannot just win today’s battle but can win the war in the future.
