Since the conception of mankind, our world has thrived on innovation. It solves problems and drives progress, moving our world forward generation after generation. Innovation has led to the development of new technologies, products, and services that solve problems and meet the needs of people in ways that were previously not possible. From the wheel and the printing press to electricity, cars, computers and the internet – it’s hard to imagine a world without these inventions.

‍ In clinical research, the process of uploading and managing lab data is rife with obstacles. Some of those obstacles threaten to derail productivity, which delays deployment and drives up costs – time is money, after all, and the longer the research phase takes, the more organizations are forced to spend on staffing and other resources. Here’s an overview of the major obstacles biotech organizations are facing today.

Over the last several decades, the world has become more and more digital.

As organizations grapple with new economic realities, security leaders face the familiar challenge of keeping their systems and data safe with limited resources. To continue to do more with, in many cases, even less is a tricky tightrope walk that requires creativity and strategy to ensure overall success.

The safety of your identity, data and online accounts relies heavily on the strength of your passwords, which is why you should be able to tell the difference between weak vs strong passwords. The importance of password security goes far beyond personal safety, as corporate breaches due to compromised credentials affect millions of people and cost billions of dollars each year. In fact, a recent report by Verizon reveals 81% of hacking-related data breaches are due to stolen or weak passwords.
