Technical skills are easy to focus on when building a team — they are concrete, easy to measure, and familiar.

Back in January 2020, a LinkedIn study identified soft skills that employees should have: creativity, persuasion, collaboration, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. With the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic infiltrating everyone’s lives in some form, soft skills are being put to the test as enterprises seek to maintain operations.

Even without a global pandemic, soft skills are challenged — especially among companies undergoing a digital transformation, which involves tackling new tasks and working with teams throughout the organization.

Without workers who possess the ability to solve problems, get things done, and work well with others, managing change at that scale is a risky undertaking.

Here are a few soft skills to capitalize on.

As we celebrate #cybersecurity month, each of us needs to do our part to make sure that our online lives are kept #safe and #secure.

Indeed, the state of cyber security has come a long way.

Alongside the 2020 theme of Do Your Part #BeCyberSmart, DCA agrees that individuals and organizations need to own their role in protecting their part of cyberspace.

Internet companies now walk a tightrope in trying to generate revenue or improve their services by supplying user data to other companies because they risk compromising – or appearing to compromise – data privacy. Google and Facebook have curtailed access to data by outside companies over the past two years.

Data-sharing arrangements between tech companies became common over the past decade as the use of smartphones and apps exploded, but what data is collected and how it is shared is not always clear to users. Companies often are not explicit about their data sharing. As users demand greater transparency, what constitutes a violation of consumer trust is not clear.

Google has however maintained a tough stance saying it shared neither aggregated nor individualized data on user demographics and app usage. The company rejected requests to give equipment vendors any data maintaining that the data it collects is strictly to provide better recommendations and more personalized experiences in maps , search and other google services.

Are you convinced that your data is safe online ?

Computer security, cybersecurity or information technology security is the protection of computer systems and networks from the theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide.

Cyber threats are a global risk that governments, the private sector, non-governmental organizations – and the global community as a whole – must deal with.

You can use these 5 reinforcement measures to protect yourself or organization against a cyber attack:

1.Change Your Passwords.
2.Use a Password Manager.
3.Delete Any Unused Accounts.
4.Enable Two-Factor Authentication.
5.Keep Your Software Up to Date.
