Technology plays an ever-important role in our daily lives. Between text messages, televisions, internet access and social media, it’s safe to say our society depends on the technology we use every day.

For all of its many benefits, technology often presents a challenge: make life easier for the user, without compromising security. This is often more difficult than it sounds, particularly when technology like online banking and website login credentials use so much of our personal information.

Cloud computing is growing at a tremendous rate. An estimated 19.1% annual growth rate could see cloud computing reach a $100 billion market evaluation by 2028. Unlike many traditional data access platforms, cloud programs offer scalability, storage options and a utility pay structure. Cloud customers only pay for the features they need, creating a flexible à la carte computing approach that makes it popular for all sorts of professionals.

Like most technology, cloud computing can sometimes be characterized by security concerns. Though the cloud is considered more secure than in-house solutions for storing data, hackers in the cloud space can still find ways to infiltrate secure networks. This issue has left many customers asking a difficult question — is the cloud truly a safe place for my data?

Tech behemoths like Amazon — alongside a host of other cloud computing providers — work hard to make sure the answer is a resounding "yes". They've devised innovative, extremely useful solutions like AWS CloudFront, that help keep your data safe no matter how you use the cloud. These new and improved solutions also come with reinforced security updates, to improve cloud functionality and provide valuable peace of mind.

By comparison, the data science market is growing far faster than most. An estimated 90% of the world’s data was created over just the past two years, creating an ever-growing demand for data interpretation and analysis.

This gap between data experts and available job openings has left many organizations struggling to fill six-figure data assessment positions.

The data science market is experiencing demand like never before. A record number of data scientists, analysts, researchers and scientists were hired over the course of the past year, as companies of all sizes struggled to meet high demands for data analysis.

We interact with artificial intelligence on a regular basis. Whether you’re booking an online hotel reservation, using a mobile navigation app or depending on autocorrect to fix misspellings as you type, AI is virtually everywhere in modern culture.

The Department of Defense is committed to helping eligible military spouses gain meaningful IT skills. In partnership with the Spouse Education and Career Opportunities Program, MyCAA extends up to $4,000 in financial support to spouses pursuing IT education.

MyCAA — the My Career Advancement Account Scholarship — is a workforce development program that allows eligible military spouses to pursue the best that career readiness education allows.

Computer scientists, information research technicians, data analysts and UX researchers all have one thing in common: they’re part of the rapidly evolving world of AI. Artificial intelligence — the use of machine learning to perform mundane, complex or repetitive tasks — integrates computer systems in several important ways.
