Things to Focus on Cyber-security
Risk is commonly defined as threat. This formula applies to anything that could be exposing you to danger, but when applied to cyber-security. The unique risks individuals and businesses face as a result of using interconnected technological systems.
To manage cyber-security we should go through these point:
Involvement of senior management should be there.Security has become a market differentiator in recent years. Companies will win and lose contracts because of cyber-security alone. Furthermore, it’s difficult to get departmental buy-in without ensuring that the top individuals in your organization are supporting a push for reducing cyber risk. So, senior executives and board members are going to be involved in the conversation around cyber-security.
Material risk does not include a run-of-the-mill cyber incident where a few records are compromised. This is a frustration but however unfortunate, it wouldn’t make a critical impact on your day-to-day business operations. The data you care most about is your material data. Depending on your line of business, this could be a number of different things, including sensitive customer information, customer data, intellectual property, or trade secrets. It could even be the reliable operations of your IT systems or manufacturing capabilities.
Limit the number of people who have privileged access to sensitive data.When individuals in your organization are given access to privileged information or vital data, there are several steps that should be taken to monitor and observe their behavior. First, you want to find out what every employee has access to and determine whether it’s necessary for each of those individuals to have that level of access. You would then want to limit access to those who have it unnecessarily. Finally, it’s important to closely monitor those who have necessary access to highly sensitive data and information to ensure that the information is only used for necessary
purposes.
Having the right cyber-security risk management tool makes all the difference. An ideal system enables you to monitor your third parties in real time (or at least daily). Real-time monitoring is what you need to keep up with today ís cyber-threats. For instance, Bit Sight allows you to monitor your vendors and your own Security Ratings, which gives you a good indication of overall security posture. If that number changes for better or for worse you will have a good sense of whether or not your organization may have been negatively impacted by a cyber-security incident or if your third parties are putting adequate controls in place to protect your data and improve their security.
Consequence
The consequence is the harm caused to an exploited organization from a loss of sensitive data, to a disruption in a corporate network, to physical electronic damage. Consequences from a cyber-security incident do not only affect the machine or data that was breached they also affect the company’s customer base and society in general. These can be considered direct and indirect costs.
For instance, if your company handles a great deal of sensitive information and something happens to that information, you may lose a great deal of customers. This is a direct consequence. But once word spreads of this violation of your customers privacy, other potential customers may be wary and choose not to employ your services.

Impact of GST after One Year
Its first anniversary of GST regime earlier it was nervouseness among the businessmen that it might not be the perfect single tax system but people as understand this system now its working.Yes still many issues are there to be addressed but the fact is the many problem have been resolved which give rise to confidence with this rising of self beleif remianing problem will be sorted out.
Inflation rate didn’t rise: GST, it was widely feared, would cause inflation to rise, as with many countries that launched a single tax regime. That hasn’t happened in India. The recent spike in consumer inflation has been due to high food and fuel prices, unrelated to GST. What helped? The much-criticised multi-slab structure. It ensured the levy was as close as possible to the existing rate, which meant the incidence of tax didn’t rise. The second factor was the anti-profiteering authority.Though the body was set up after the GST rollout, the prospect of its establishment was enough to ensure businesses did not abuse the 76ansition.
So by this some expected benefits was that GST would help to grow the formalisation of the economy.Evasion would stop making sense, thanks to transparent digital processes and incentive of input credit and invoice matching. With number of registrations crossing 10 million, it seems more businesses are signing up for GST.
With Single national market trucks queues on state borders has been disappeared & as checkpost were dismantled creating seamless national market. One tax nationally consumer in Kanyakumari now pays the same tax on an item as one in Jammu & Kashmir. GST has also allowed businesses to streamline distribution systems production, supply chain, storage to make them more efficient, having previously been forced to design them keeping state taxes in mind.More people filing income tax returns could also have something to do with GST.
Everyone wins: As many as 17 taxes and multiple cesses were subsumed into GST, aligning India with global regimes. Central taxes such as excise duty, services tax, countervailing duty and state taxes including value added tax, Oct roi and purchase tax were all rolled into one. The new regime provided for free flow of tax credits and did away with cascading due to tax on tax, boosting company financials and resulting in reduced prices for consumers. It also ensured a sole law for the country with uniform procedured and the rules, which reduce complinace burden and business complexity.
Compliance has miles to go: The biggest dampener was the compliance process, as information technology glitches took more than the anticipated time to be resolved. The filing system that was put in place in the beginning was quickly abandoned as businesses struggled with compliance. A new return form is being crafted to help make the process much less painful for businesses and is likely to be available soon.
Cumbersome registration system: Multiple registration requirements have complicated things for industry, which was expecting simplicity. In many cases, registration is required in all states. Companies fear that multiple audits and assessments due to multiple registrations could make life more difficult. Simplification and standardisation of compliance—a single return instead of two or three–to ease taxpayers’ burden should continue to be of prime importance for the government, especially with repeated deferment of compliance dates due to systems challenges and also the formats, which are too complicated for many micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) considering small, medium businesses have a large share of registrations.
The government should bring down the slabs from four to three as collections have been above the mark and accordingly rate moderation should be warranted, encouraging certain sectors boosting the economy.Undoubtedly, GST has received positive as well as negative responses.

Energy is the Power
We are living in an era of advanced technology, where every part of our daily lives is related to the science of craft in one way or another. There’s no doubt that over the years technology has been responsible for creating amazingly useful resources which put all the information we need at our fingertips. Various highly-developed gadgets, connected to the Internet, have changed the way we communicate, use humor, study, work, shop, play, and behave.Here are six ways technology impacts your daily life.
1: Improved Communication
The continuous advances in technology have led to the appearance of numerous new methods of electronic communication, such as social networking websites, emails, voicemails, and video conferences. These advanced communication tech tools have helped us to eliminate time and distance as obstacles to effective communication. This is beneficial not only to our personal relationships, but also to education and business. Technology has improved cultural education by giving children the opportunity to communicate with other children from different countries and learn about different cultures.
2: Improved Home Entertainment
Not that long ago, our entertainment experiences used to live in the moment they happened, exist in our memories and find their way in old-fashioned photographs on wall. Today, that has all changed due to the rapid growth of the Internet, mobile connectivity, and social networks.
One of the biggest changes, for example, was the switch from videotapes to CDs/DVDs. This enabled manufacturers to put more data onto the medium. This meant that there were no risks of the tape coming out of the player and getting damaged that easily, and due to the small size of the DVDs, it also meant that a lot more could be stored in the same amount of space.
Another huge technological advance was the introduction of LCD TV. Compared to today’s LCD TVs, the previous television screens were inefficient, with lower definition and poor quality. Today we can not only enjoy improved home entertainment, but different types of home entertainment too: from smart TVs to Xbox units.
3: Improved Housing and Lifestyle
Housing and lifestyle have also been impacted by the modern technology. The majority of the items that you have in your home today are automated, which makes your life much easier, organized and safer. Thanks in particular to the advanced technological solutions such automated door locks, security cameras and lighting control, our homes are now more secure than ever. Also, thanks to the Internet, we have an easy access to all sorts of information, news, and you’re able to shop online any time of the day or night from the comfort of your own home.
4: Changed Health Industry
There’s no doubt that technology is the driving force behind the huge improvements in healthcare. The majority of the hospitals today have implemented modern technology in hospitals and surgical rooms, which has significantly reduced the mistakes made by doctors.
5: Convenience in Education
Technology has impacted every aspect of our lives today, and education is no exception. Technology has changed education in so many ways. First, technology has expanded the access to education and there are huge amounts of information (books, images, videos, audio) that are available through the Internet and that will enable you to empower yourself with knowledge. In addition, online courses are on the rise and most of them are free.
6: Convenience of Traveling
Modern transportation technology has made it easier for individuals to travel long distances. Since transport is an important part of our lives, technology has been regularly working on making it more efficient and quicker. The first steamship was built in the 1770s, the first steam-powered train was built in 1798, and the modern car was created in 1886, while the first powered, controlled flight is believed to have taken place in 1903.Today, we just cannot imagine life without well-developed means of transport like cars, trains, buses, and airplanes which have become a basic need. Over the last decade, the automobile industry is experiencing a technological revolution as the electrical vehicles are taking the world by storm.

Is data safe on Social Media ?
Online communities have existed since the invention of the internet. First there were bulletin boards and email lists, which gave people around the world opportunities to connect, to communicate and to share information about particular subjects.
Today, social networking websites have greatly expanded the range of possible interactions, allowing you to share messages, pictures, files and even up-to-the-minute information about what you are doing and where you are..
Although these networks can be very useful, and promote social interaction both online and offline, when using them you may be making information available to people who want to abuse it. Think of a social networking site as being like a huge party. There are people there that you know, as well as some that you don’t know at all. Imagine walking through the party with all your personal details, and up-to-the-minute accounts of what you are thinking, written on a big sign stuck on your back so that everyone can read it without you even knowing. Do you really want everyone to know all about you?
Remember that social networking sites are owned by private businesses, and that they make their money by collecting data about individuals and selling that data on, particularly to third party advertisers. When you enter a social networking site, you are leaving the freedoms of the internet behind and are entering a network that is governed and ruled by the owners of the site. Privacy settings are only meant to protect you from other members of the social network, but they do not shield your data from the owners of the service. Essentially you are giving all your data over to the owners and trusting them with it.
Social Media and Internet are now an integral part of our life. We all are using internet and social media sites on daily basis. When we are using it, we connect with a particular site and personal likes will be shown on that site. When we create a account on a particular site, site will ask for safety and security features and to agree to the terms and conditions. Everyone want to secure his account from all kinds of threats like hacking, password security, messaging, chatbots. We try to create strong security password. We hope that our password’s strength is strong and usually we are supposed to change our password time to time for better security of our personal data because no one likes when anyone interferes in his or her personal life without consent.
People think that on social media sites and applications our data is safe and they are supposed to keep our data safe and secure. But in reality we might be wrong. Because we don’t know that many social media platforms use our personal information and data and might as well share it with others. This is shocking but it’s true. There are many sites that ask for number or email address from you or to share other information when you open the page and the data that you liked on particular page is automatically showing on every other website you visit and you might as well receive mail, notification regarding the same.
The app is keeping an eye on our device to know more about us. It’s unbelievable that how is this possible because no one have any rights to share our personal data and to use it for other purposes. Applications have a profile based on everyone’s like dislike, daily routine life.
When we are create a account or install a particular app. We have an option to allow all notifications for the app. Some type of information is as follows:
Device Information: The app knows that in which device, mobile, computer you are logging in your account and how much storage left in your device, your contact list and about your photo gallery also.
App Information:- It’s difficult to believe that applications have information about your device and other applications as well like how many apps are in your device, how much time you give for internet or a specific app. These sort of information and database are kept safely for every user.
Device Connection:- Apps also know about your phone network, wifi connection that you are using to access this app. Apps also have information about user location through GPS system.
Camera information:- Many apps suggest new fitters and features for your photo. This leads to that apps also keep an eye on your camera and microphone. Maybe.
In today’s world where we are completely surrounded by technology, technology that we might not even know how it works or how it is exploiting us. But we all can take some steps to secure our data and to make sure it is not misused. Firstly, we’ll have to stay aware and cautious at every step. We just can’t and shouldn’t agree to and press yes or okay at every installation process.

VVIP Culture ?
Is this Supreme Court affected by VVIP culture or Politicians. there are many cases when Supreme Court work’s in night for in terms of special cases. Is this Supreme Court partiality in justice? In Indian more than 2.81 crore cases pending because the number of judges short 5000 across India. But if there are any case’s related to any VVIP or Politicians Supreme Court work in night?
On one side where we say India is the largest democratic country in the world. The Indian Constitution gives every individual some personal right. But is right to justice is right only for VVIP’s or Politicians? Is this area of justice is limited? The work process in court is too long and lengthy for a common man. Court give’s date for next and next hearing. when any case related for VVIP’s or Politicians in court it changes is working process to give special treatment is this right way?
In this type of cases rise a question on judiciary system. The process or way of getting justice is difficult for a common man. And the list of pending cases is still too long so how we get justice in VVIP culture.
Whenever there is any problem, we use to say that I will see you in the court. In India has court in every single district its make easy to get justice. There are 24 High Courts in the State and the Union Territories of India, which include the country’s judicial system at the national level along with the Supreme Court of India. Each High Court has the jurisdiction of one state, one federal area or states and Union Territories. But still more than 2.81 crore cases pending in district courts across the country.
20th may to 30th june High Court on summer holiday. And the next hearing date in court will be on 2nd july. In case of special cases court will be open. But still there are question mark on supreme court. Supreme Court is the main base of Indian judiciary and whole country have faith in justice of supreme court. The way of justice is Flexible and comfortable. If we are not satisfied judgment from district court we can go to high court than supreme court.
But in some cases rise a question on judiciary system. So the question is” Is this the VVIP culture effect’s judiciary system? So how can we say that Supreme court didn’t work under any pressure.
There are many example when Supreme Court work in night for some special cases. First example of when court work in night is Yakub menon’s case. The unprecedented hearing held at the Supreme Court past 3 a.m. on Thursday, in which 1993 Mumbai blasts convict Yakub Memon’s last ditch attempt to avert his execution was rejected, was the first of its kind in the apex court’s history and has been generally appreciated by the legal fraternity — though there were some discordant notes also. It was the darkness of the night that made it clear that the country’s top court was meeting at an extremely odd hour, while otherwise everything appeared like any other normal working day. The judges’ library was opened for making available Supreme Court Reporters having compilation of judgments and other statutes for reference by the judges in the course of the hearing. and the second example In Karnataka elections. The Supreme Court ordered that a floor test be held in the Karnataka Assembly at 4 pm on Saturday to ascertain whether newly appointed BJP chief minister BS Yeddyurappa enjoys majority in the state. And the all over hearing, which lasted from 2.11 am to 5.28 am, the top court had made it clear that the swearing-in and government formation would be subject to the final outcome of the case.(net)
Is this VVIP culture and politician affected Supreme Court work timing so is this favoritism or partiality with the common man. And the Supreme Court’s priorities is different for a common persons and VVIP’s.
