This is top of mind for nearly all of us. While the workplace will be for ever changed, it is not a matter of “if” but “when” and “how” we will return to “in-person” collaboration. Returning trust to the workplace will take effort. The…

The COVID-19 pandemic fast-tracked innovation and digital transformation across all industries, but few have been impacted as profoundly as manufacturing. Across the globe, manufacturers were forced to shift their shop-floor operations to meet the development and distribution needs of essential goods and services. Automotive manufacturers, for example, began producing ventilators for hospitals. Others focused on the development of PPE, including facemasks, latex gloves, and hand sanitizer. These short-term experiences will have long-term impacts. The manufacturing…

But now we’re worried about malware interrupting operations. What can we do?” News headlines have erased any doubts about the need for industrial network cybersecurity. The trickier question is how to secure the network without interrupting production and revenue. To provide guidance, we’ve created Cisco Validated Designs for industrial…

Deep Learning-Based Receiver Design for 802.11ax Systems A traditional processing pipeline typically involves a sequence of signal processing-based algorithms, including channel estimation, common phase error correction, sampling rate offset correction, and equalization. In DeepWiPHY, we introduce a deep…

It’s thrilling to lead security in small and midsized companies. We face many of the same threats as enterprises. With the growing emphasis on supply chain security, we share the same compliance obligations. We’re closer to the business leadership, and we’re closer to (sometimes embedded within) the IT team. With a fraction of the resources, we pull off the impossible quarter after quarter, year after year. It’s exciting but it isn’t without uncertainty. As we…
