With the advent of digital technology, companies have been asking customers to trust them in new and deeper ways. But that trust depends crucially on the available technologies being used with transparency, ethical practices, increased data privacy, and strengthened security. Not coincidentally, increasing investments in cybersecurity (74%), information security (64%), and consumer privacy (60%) are the top priorities for business leaders to demonstrate a commitment to building digital trust, according to a recent PwC survey of 311 executives from mid-to-large US companies. More than half of them (53%) strongly agree that innovation can be more effective than regulation in building stakeholder trust. That’s why nearly half (49%) have made significant changes in the last 12 months to the way their companies operate.
Unlike NetFlow, SNMP can be used for real-time network management as well as for monitoring and troubleshooting CPU and memory usage – features that are not currently provided by the NetFlow protocol. NetFlow does consume a lot more disk space than SNMP, but that is mainly because it is much more verbose than SNMP. SNMP has proven itself to be the most reliable network management protocol for routers, switches, and multi-protocol usage. However, because NetFlow provides more information, it is better for deep network analysis and debugging. NetFlow is best used for providing more detailed information about applications and traffic sources. Another advantage of NetFlow is that it uses push technology, which makes it capable of showing information as soon as it is available whereas SNMP uses pull technology to pull data from the device’s MIB (Management Information Base) at specific intervals. NetFlow can also provide information on speed, volume, and link usage.
Monitoring patients wherever they are and supervising their health status relentlessly is a pressing task. Inspired by this need, a group of companies recently presented a smart t-shirt with 5G connection and sensors embedded in the fabric that can capture and send real-time information about the user’s health conditions to care centers. Made of washable material without metal components, the T-shirt has biosensors capable of measuring vital signs, such as body temperature, heartbeat, respiratory rate, muscle effort, and sweat elements. The parameters are recorded in a miniaturized control unit and are converted to digital format, which can be transmitted to the user’s smartphone or smartwatch or to a remote center that will analyze the data using medical software.
