Project Management Office Best Practices 2023
To improve project success, companies often establish a formal project management office (PMO) as a center of excellence for project management disciplines.

Quantum Resilience: Navigating Cybersecurity in a Quantum World
Recent advancements in quantum computing raise concerns about the future of cryptography, given the computational capabilities of quantum computers to perform complex calculations rapidly and break traditional encryption algorithms. Although cybersecurity systems can tackle quantum threats at present, the promising pace of development in quantum computing poses an inevitable, if not imminent, threat to organizations. Moreover, there is a risk that malicious intruders could steal information now and decrypt it in the future with mature quantum computers. This necessitates enterprises to use post-quantum cryptography to safeguard confidential data and stay ahead of quantum-powered adversaries.
