One of the biggest concerns I hear from people considering launching a search engine optimization (SEO) strategy is the length of time it takes to see results. Depending on when you start, the competitiveness of your industry, how much you invest, and a handful of other variables, it will likely take weeks, or even months before you start to climb rankings and earn more organic traffic to your site. Sometimes, it can even take years.
Can You Afford to Wait Months for an SEO Strategy to Develop?
So if your company is eager to grow or if you’re struggling to turn a profit the way things are now, can you really afford to wait months for that strategy to develop?

What, you ask, is the Internet of Behavior, also known as IoB? Good question. This term is suddenly becoming more common after the pandemic, and it’s a concept with important implications for the future. IoB refers to internet-connected technologies that collect, integrate, and analyze data related to people’s behavior within a space.
Will the Internet of Behavior Improve Everywhere You Go?
How people interact with space has become extremely relevant in the wake of the pandemic. When a deadly virus can spread through minimal contact, it’s vital to manage public health and maintain social distancing by whatever means necessary. That’s where IoB comes in.
Better Understanding the IoB Space

The very nature of technology innovation lends itself to the types of buzzwords and jargon that can often impede people’s understanding of the technologies themselves. These buzzwords range from metaphorical, but ultimately easy-to-understand, terms like “cloud;” to downright literal terms like “Internet of things.” Somewhere in between is where we get terms like “edge computing,” which is where the technology itself and the term used to describe it has one essential thing in common — they require context.
Why Context is Crucial to Successful Edge Computing
In IT, we call it a “use case.” Still, that term is essentially a tangible manifestation of the context in which technology will be most effective, whether that’s a manufacturing scenario, a telematics platform, or an IoT integration. Even within IoT, context is crucial because it can be used in something as simple as a smart thermostat, something as advanced as an MRI machine, or any number of use cases in between.
The real challenge when it comes to edge computing isn’t so much to create a device, but rather to make sure that device can operate and transmit data…

There has been a gradual but wide-scale shift in the business world, compounded by the movement restrictions and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, to a remote work model. These changes have led to the need for effective next-gen network security for businesses.
As the nature of work changes, there must be a corresponding reevaluation and subsequent transformation of how organizations approach network security.
Ultimate Guide to Effective Next-Gen Network Security for Organizations
Moving work to the cloud via work-from-home policies eliminates the physical boundaries of cybersecurity. Moreover, this extension of the traditional bounds of network security establishes a strong basis for the greater adoption of edge security practices. Apparently, end-to-end security now seems more like edge-to-cloud security.
This transformation is not just about technologies and tools, although those are critical in adapting networks and cloud environments to the new model. Rather, this transformation is, foremost, a change of outlook.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, employees appreciated their IT colleagues. When COVID-19 struck, however, more workers than ever before recognized that without technologically savvy team members, their workflows would stumble, falter, or even fail. Why?
