Abstract
Digital transformation becomes a significant requirement to be a part of companies' strategic objectives. Revolutionary change and the adoption of technologies, which companies have no idea about the correct way of applying might lead to dramatic situations lead to other obstacles organizations face them. This chapter will talk about applying business intelligence and taking a step forward to produce effectively and efficiently. Also, the chapter will explain how to apply intelligent systems in various domains such as education, health care, etc. Despite these intelligent systems, applying these intelligent systems and automation is not enough without strong and powerful security countermeasures to assist in maintaining these systems from threatening attacks and security violations. Consequently, security is a significant matter that companies must prioritize above every other matter.
Top2. Electricity
Industrial enterprises depend on many sources of energy and power to function and do the processes. Previously electricity was utilized for industries, natural resources were used such as coal and water. However, these resources are not feasible to be used for industrial usage. Tomas Edison was the first scientist to discover the incandescent bulb. Electric utilities started during the late 1800s. These utilities have limited capabilities such as low transmission rate and low power, but it was used for residential usage. The developer of these electric utilities was George Westinghouse (A Brief History of the Use of Technology in Business - Oklahoma Small Business Development Centers, n.d.).
2.1 Communication
The first scientist who invented the telephone was Alexander Graham Bell. It has a giant influence on business because communication is the source of binding and creating relationships with other stakeholders and enterprises (A Brief History of the Use of Technology in Business - Oklahoma Small Business Development Centers, n.d.).
Key Terms in this Chapter
Machine Learning: is a branch of Artificial Intelligence, that receives input, and makes predictions for output, based on previous training on the datasets.
Detection: is a security technique used to check for potential risks in the systems.
Countermeasures: the tools that help to maintain the security and safety of data, systems, and devices.
Cyberattacks: the violation of hackers, attackers, and other cybercriminals for information technology systems to steal assets, and data, or block the systems and prevent users from accessing them.
Ransomware: is a cyberattack that aims to block and encrypt the systems, and then request a payment to give the decryption key for the victim, but this is not trusted all the time.
Automation: is about the revolutionized transformation of manual machines and procedures into automated-based systems that are smarter and more effective.
Artificial Intelligence: is a smart machine, software, or system that mimics and simulates the human way of thinking, able to make smart decisions, and do complicated tasks that could be hazardous for human life.
Cybersecurity Industry: is about how to invest in cybersecurity in the field of businesses and to secure the business operations and assets from cyberattacks.
DoS: is a cyberattack that floods the victims with fake requests until the systems shut down and block and are unavailable for the victim.
Robotics: is a smart-based machine, autonomous, able to make decisions, and move in the environment to interact with it through receiving input and giving a suitable output.
