A new era of work: How AIOps and Unified Observability can take DEX to new heights
Businesses are in the early stages of a new era of employee relations as both the workplace and the workforce undergo significant changes. The pandemic accelerated the shift to hybrid work environments, which has, in turn, accelerated the ongoing digital transformations that made hybrid work possible in the first place. Meanwhile, baby boomers are retiring, Millennials are moving into management, and the Gen Z cohorts are just starting their careers.
The digital natives now populating companies have discriminating expectations for how technology works for them. For example, Riverbed’s Global Digital Employee Experience (DEX) Survey found that 68 percent of employees would leave the company if they were unhappy with the DEX. Companies that fail to provide seamless DEX -- which covers the full range of how employees engage with technology at work, from an intranet to email and collaboration platforms to HR systems -- risk frustrating employees when things do not work as expected. This not only increases the chances employees may look for another employer, but a faulty DEX brings losses in productivity and potential damage to a company’s reputation.

Windows 11 users can now create their own custom voice commands
For some people, controlling a computer with their voice is a necessity, for others it is simply another means of input to supplement the mouse and keyboard.

Cybersecurity for SMEs: Seven steps to a Zero Trust approach
Never trust, verify everything! This is the premise on which the "Zero Trust" approach was founded. This model of cybersecurity involves implementing controls designed to ensure that only verified users can access company resources, and from similarly approved devices.
This strategy is increasingly being adopted in response to the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), such as the continued evolution of hybrid working, the use of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) and the increase and sophistication in cyber-attacks. Whereas previously SMEs thought they weren’t a target, now they are seen as the weaker link from a hackers’ perspective and increasingly they are falling victims to cyber attacks.
