How Tech and Government Can Speak the Same Language
The tension between Congress and the tech world was clear, as sound bites about data control and monopolization were met with technical explanations and defensiveness.

As automation technologies continue to develop at a rapid pace, it’s imperative that companies just like MetalQuest have the requisite support to fully leverage the potential behind automation. Failing to do so will inhibit America’s ability to remain globally competitive.
Bringing in approximately $10 billion a year, the Section 41 Tax Credit, sometimes referred to as the R&D Tax Credit, remains the largest credit out there for the benefit of U.S. businesses—and despite what you may have heard, consultants in IT and software and technology industries can indeed qualify for the added tax savings.

Bad actors online love to prey on tragedy and fear to make a profit. Unfortunately, it seems as though coronavirus is no exception, and there are phishing emails circulating designed to capitalize on the worldwide pandemic. With the world in a panic, everyone should be even more vigilant when it comes to cybersecurity than ever.
This dynamic shift certainly does pose a threat to our country, but it should be viewed as an opportunity to showcase a core tenet of Americanism to the world: our ability to rally for a common goal. And this goal is to stay on top of the global innovation game.
Technology is taking over the security industry—and for industry executives, this shift offers a potentially valuable opportunity they may have never considered for their firms. From the growing connectivity of systems and mobile devices through the Internet of Things (loT) to the use of AI and automation to monitor cyber and physical security systems, the industry is in the midst of massive technological changes that will ultimately make us (and the confidentiality of our data) much safer.
The growing threat of cyberattacks is a huge cause for concern. According to some of the country’s foremost intelligence experts, the U.S. may encounter a massive cyberattack on the horizon. An attack of this scale is predicted to cause damage comparable to a Category 5 hurricane, where everything from vehicles to pacemakers could be compromised. The country needs to be ready – and not just the public sector. Private businesses, regardless of size, would be taking an extreme risk if the necessary precautions are not put into place.
Automation is undeniably looked at as an integral part of a software developer’s workflow. From using it to avoid repeat coding to stress-testing for systems, automation holds an incredibly valuable place in a developer’s world.
Any cyber risk posture really does depend on your environment and business. The way to minimize the fog of cyber security complexity is to quantify it for your company, ideally based on risk value. We all know that cyber risk is in the “eyes of the beholder” (CISO versus C-Suite versus Board) and finding a common vernacular therein – like risk.
