Almost all government services offered by any type of government authority will be backed up by technologies. Most of us consider a downfall only in the business sector due to ill implementation of technology, but the same applies to the government services too.

The major technologies implemented governmental policies to transform the social world are adaptive security to reinforce trust and security over cyber threats, citizen digital identity to prove one’s identity via governmental channels avoiding any change of forgery.

Among all these augmented intelligence is going to be the biggest weapon changing the corporate sector. It is a great combination of augmented reality and artificial intelligence. In this model, human-centered prototypes of people are combined with the power of artificial intelligence to enhance the efficiency of human resource and their performance.

Another technology that can make a major impact on working professionals is a digitally empowered workforce. This technology is not oriented for any corporate sector; rather it is for the betterment of the workforce giving them work satisfaction and perks to retain them for a longer duration.

The past year showed some tempestuousness for consumers and businesses. This crisis has compelled numerous companies in the world to relocate from office to remote places. These unparalleled events that happened last year have resulted in a sizeable surge in usage of the cloud, causing more than half of businesses to adopt cloud-based applications to quicken the plans to shift the workflow.

Another challenge is many businesses could not adopt a cloud-based secluded workforce, as their existing model, technology was not versatile, workable, or radical. Thus, the quantity of information breaches and leaks occurring has shot up severely, with enormous measures of delicate consumer information unexpectedly in danger of being replicated, stolen, or potentially utilized without assent. With numerous organizations presently transparently thinking about a more lasting move to distant or hybrid working models of office/home. It is essential to have efficient security methods and ready to protect delicate information any place it could be.

This can be achieved by

• To thoroughly analyze the location of sensitive information of the business. So every business needs to have an efficacious inventory for sensitive data. And able to recognize how data flows, through which medium and how it flows, also ensuring the privacy of customers. To achieve this one needs to continuously and carefully monitor the usage of data, files, users, online activity on an ongoing basis.
• In addition to constantly tracking the sensitive data location, the firm has to restrict access to data. This can be a challenging one to tackle if businesses do not have considerable investment done in tools to secure the cloud services also the technologies. If the sensitive data is made to access from different devices then it becomes riskier so the business can set up multi-factor authentication tools or single sign-on tools to ensure that only legitimate users can access it. This helps to create a restriction on accessing sensitive data.

With an ever-increasing number of organizations now looking at a transition to the cloud because of the pandemic, they must have a reasonable comprehension of information just as the security challenges that may emerge from it. An extensive security platform that incorporates these capacities into a solitary contribution will almost consistently offer the most expense-proficient arrangement, just as giving various convenience benefits. Just one such platform is set up then businesses can be able to protect the consumer’s sensitive data.

The COVID-19 (coronavirus) is plausibly the pandemic that has worsen the situation in the whole world. Since its inception to date, there have been various challenges being faced by frontline, volunteers, affected people, industries, logistics, and many others due to lack of information. Many countries have incorporated strategies for communicating the data to combat lack of clarity as well as misinformation.

A multifaceted crisis where medical staff was deluged with the inrush of patients, manufacturers were forced to meet high demands for medicines, PPE kits, also transportation facilities for distributing of the resources. The second challenge is a shortage of vaccines, alongside the registration website coordinating the appointments for the first followed by the second dose, inquiries for same. All these amalgamated and concentrated with the efficacious communication system.

During the period of crisis, information is critical, veridicality of information is also in need before spreading. Along with the vaccine drives and rumours, fake news about the vaccine is increasing, the health care organization, the government should play a vital role in battling misstatement with help of technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence can increase the value tremendously by spotting false data and bots.

Some companies have emerged who works on tools for verification of news, information that is available at various sources. With technology professionals find the public information, its source where it was generated, when it was on social media, so verifying this will help the public to not panic on fake news. For the verification process, it is to be known about who is verifying the data, and how the public is perceiving these professionals who verify data.

Exploiting the potentiality of communication as well as the advanced innovation in the field of technology with the propensity to fight the false data proves to be contributory in the coming few months- of course, technology alone cannot be a solution but humans need to contribute as well, as technology is just an ally.
