A Talk with Dr. Fauzia, Pakistan’s first female Cyber Security Analyst

Today’s digitalized world is characterized by the connectivity provided by internet, smartphones, tablets, smartwatches and smart glasses. While on one hand, this connectivity has opened a plethora of innovations such as the Internet of things (IoT), whereby everything can be controlled from within the touch of fingertips, it eventually gives rise to the big threats such as National and global security. Increasing incidents of cyber-attacks, cyber-theft and bullying point to nowhere but an imminent threat of regional or global cyberwar. While it is a general misperception that Pakistan does not have any contributions in the field of Science and Technology and that women are discouraged from education, let alone pursue STEM, Dr, Fauzia Idrees Abroo, Pakistan’s first female cyber-security analyst, is a pleasant surprise for many science enthusiasts.  Dr. Abro started her educational career when she obtained her Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics from Mehran University of Engineering and Technology (MUET), Jamshoro. She hails from rural Sindh and despite all the hurdles against the education of women, she pursued her passion and obtained masters in Cryptology from NUST. This was just a beginning in her career which took her to pursue a Ph.D. in Cyber Security from City, University of London. Her research interests are malware analysis, detection and prevention, mobile security, VoIP, network security, machine learning, IoT and Artificial Intelligence, most of them have been published in various academic journals and conference proceedings. She serves on several editorial boards and program committees of international journals and conferences. Currently, she is working on the security of the Internet of Things (IoT).

The 2019 Web Developer RoadMap

An illustrated guide to becoming a Web Developer with links to relevant courses Hello Guys, I hope you are doing great in 2019. I am sure you all have already made your goals by now and thinking about how to achieve those goals. If one of your goals is to learn to code or to become a Web Developer in 2019 then I have something great to share with you today, the 2019 Web Developer RoadMap. This is an excellent illustration on how to become a web developer in 2019 and guide you on how you can learn and master Web Development in 2019. It’s a collection of different paths to learning front-end, back-end, and all other things a Web developer should know. You will not just know about web development but about essential programming stuff which is important for all kind of programmers. The RoadMap is also divided into 3 sections, the first section is about common skills which every web developer should know, while the second and third section is about front-end and back-end development, two main areas of web development. You can either learn Front-end or Back-end or both, depending upon your choice. If you want to become a FullStack Web developer then you have to learn both front-end and back-end, there is no escaping there. In Frontend also you can choose to learn the framework you want like React, Angular or Vue.js, you don’t need to learn them all but learn the one you like. If you ask for my recommendation, Vue.js is a better choice in 2019 than the other two but again those are more...
Big Data and Artificial Intelligence: A Primer for Retailers

Big Data and Artificial Intelligence: A Primer for Retailers

Buzzwords like “big data” and “artificial intelligence” have become commonplace in many of today’s business conversations, but what exactly do they mean—and what do they mean for the luxury consumer? The Chinese government’s “Next Generation Artificial Intelligence Development Plan” was established in 2017, making artificial intelligence (AI) a national priority for China. Simply put, today’s high-net-worth buyers still want a traditional tailor-made buying experience, but they want it fast and hassle-free. Artificial intelligence and big data are what will help give them that. Big data is a term for the huge volume of varied and unstructured data (sounds, images, texts, messages, transactions, videos, social networks, etc.) that companies collect both online and off, from employee counts to weather histories. Recommended ReadingChina’s Retailers Embrace Big Data RevolutionBy Jing Daily This data, as you probably know, is now being stored and analyzed by companies so that they can look for useful correlations. Companies create a staggering amount of data—over 2.5 quintillion bytes—every day, and since time is money, these businesses are now hoping to disseminate this huge supply of incoming data in real-time. Artificial intelligence, meanwhile, is the broad name for computer programming theories and techniques that simulate human intelligence and it’s a field that has seen rapid progress. Most of the Artificial Intelligence we confront on a daily basis is known as “weak AI”, which means it’s limited to very specific scope: games against a computer, predictive analysis or fraud detection, for example. But progress is continually being made, and though it’s still in its infancy, artificial intelligence could be the key to making our endless piles of big data...
Mobile App Development: Top 5 Reasons Why Mobile Apps Fail

Mobile App Development: Top 5 Reasons Why Mobile Apps Fail

Over the years, the mobile app industry has substantially grown. According to Statista, the total number of apps available for download in leading app stores are 2.1 million apps in Google Play Store and Apple’s App Store was on second largest position with almost 2 million apps. Wondering why apps fail? An increase in the number of mobile apps does not mean they are qualitative. As we say “If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost,” do not fall, a victim of positive thinking, because the thought itself will forbid the conditions of failure. App success starts with studying mobile apps failure, not from why a single app out of thousand succeeds. According to Gartner the commercial success of mobile apps in 2018 was .01% which sounds alarming for the mobile app development industry. If you are planning to launch a mobile app to generate revenue, study why others didn’t make it, what were their mistakes, ensure that you won’t repeat them when planning a mobile application to stand a chance in the mobile marketplace. Here are the top reasons why apps fail miserably. Over half of the mobile apps in play store get few to no downloads. Seeing the decent downloads of an app, 60% of the audience drops off the app. The app faces 80% drop off rate within the first week, never to be used again. Top Reasons From The Industry Experts On “Why Do Apps Fail?” 1. Dedication is the key to a fruitful idea generation A decision to launch a project should be research driven not fund driven. Is there a market for...
