Designing and deploying an app is rarely simple. Customer needs are constantly evolving and your app probably looks and functions much differently today than when it was first released. The success of any modern application relies on how well it can adapt and grow along with customer needs—which requires your developers having the ability to…

Today, we announced the findings of our seventh annual Businesses at Work report, examining how organizations and people worked in a year of near-constant change. When we released last year’s report at the beginning of 2020, we never imagined the critical role technology would play as organizations adapted to the challenges of a global pandemic…
Between long lines at voting polls, mail-in voting controversies, and delayed election results — not to mention the health and safety concerns of voting during a pandemic — 2020 spurred significant debate around the possibility of online voting. We’ve seen the same problems repeat in the Georgia runoff. Addressing these issues and the future of…

I don’t think there’s much to predict in the way of envisioning how attackers are looking to compromise federal security systems and data.

When COVID-19 arrived in March, organizations were forced to make quick decisions around remote work security. While those early security measures may have worked well as a stopgap, some companies are discovering those solutions won’t work long-term. Other companies are shifting towards a dynamic work model—a transformation that comes with…
Last year, we learned how to manage uncertainty. Physical distancing, health and safety requirements, and disrupted supply chains have all determined how we’ve lived, worked, and interacted with each other.
