Welcome, Welcome everybody to master class this Thursday,
November 30th, 2023, if you can believe it.
Christmas or holidays are coming again.
Can't wait for the break?
Umm, it's actually gotten cold here in Florida, so we're
actually feeling like the holidays are coming.
It's always nice and almost in New year, like right, Alexis,
exactly.
So we will get started.
Won't we won't hold it any longer.
Let's see.
I have got David Cabrera.
You can go ahead first if you're ready.
Do I do you?
Do you present my slides or do I?
You do go ahead and hit the share and then show your slides.
If you have any sound coming from your slides, you will have
to.
Tap that toggle at the top sharing your computer sound, but
if it's just you, you don't have to.
Friday.
Sorry, I thought you guys threw it up.
That's why I didn't have it up.
No.
Alright.
Can you guys see it?
Yes, we can.
Thank you.
Sorry.
No problem.
Uh, that so?
Is that a value and collection?
Data collection is the process collecting and processing data
techniques from collecting data have changed over time as
technology and data change, the collection of data changes.
The shift from brick, brick and mortar store to online shopping
have changed strategies, with more consumers visiting retail
sites.
I mean other things more than that like.
More broad use of electronic currency social media.
I'm a little older, so I've seen the changes.
Maybe some of the younger people haven't, but there was a time
where everything was an electronic and that's, uh, kind
of changed the landscape for data collection.
Uh, the data processing lifestyle.
Uh life cycle.
So sorry, data collection data preparation, data input, data
processing, data output and data storage.
So this is basically, you know, from the collection point all
the way to the store it you know the life cycle of the data.
And then usually after storage it gets monetized.
Types of data.
We have qualitative umm this is basically just you know, I would
say a lot of social media stuff.
These are just like opinions on events, places, behaviors,
politics, thing, a lot of stuff you'd see on social media and
quantitative.
That is data where it's measurable.
The temperature statistics, numbers of items more hard
numbers on the quantitative little bit of different types of
data.
Umm.
Types of uh digital data collection.
So when we all know is transactional tracking, tracking
your purchases with each purchase made, sellers and
researchers can connect with data from third party service
providers websites or from ecommerce in store pointers says
point of sale system.
Purchase date is good tool and understanding consumer patterns
to develop marketing plans.
I mean, this is huge.
I mean, everybody knows how much they swipe their cards now, and
that paper money is, you know, not as common.
And these this information is really used to, you know, see
what you're doing when you do it, how often you do it.
And they develop strategies based on this information.
Social media monitoring there's a collection technique that
focuses on personal social media history.
This can be derived by posts on likes, dislikes, interests,
opinions and in many cases just people giving up their personal
information on where they went to school, who they're with,
where they work, when they're going on vacation.
I mean everything.
Umm.
And this information can be used to create marketing strategies.
Also, online tracking this data collection is done mainly with
cookies.
To track a person's Internet habits and activity, the status
collected through email, campaign, search engines,
advertisements.
Umm, it's another common one and observations uh, this data
collection method involves observing how consumers interact
with websites.
So literally, when you know a lot of times in real time where
you're clicking what you're clicking on, how often you look
at it, how often you go back to it, you know umm, so how you
interact with websites, products and services in real time.
So data preparation input depending on the type of data,
it must be cleaned and prepared to be turned into information
and loaded into a system.
Now this will include removing redundant data from a set,
repairing contradictory data errors and structural issues.
Changing the data to a machine readable format depending on the
type of information or data.
Sorry and ensuring that the data is validated.
So no one wanted data enters the system.
Umm.
Which is really important, especially actually for any
organization cleaning this data is one of the main steps before
data is turned into information.
So basically getting it ready for whatever storage they use
depending on the type of data it is.
Processing collected data so some of the questions that
should be asked when an organization procures the large
data set.
UM, what advantages can be produced from data of a process
is gonna be executed to attain these benefits and how long will
it take the organization to achieve these benefits?
Some of the things that should be considered before they tried
monetizing it.
So types of data processing we got batch processing.
This is when a computer processes a large amounts of raw
data into smaller sets.
Distributed processing is when.
Processing is shared between a whole network of computers.
Almost making it into a supercomputer.
This technique is used when memory intense processing power
is needed to complete the task.
Just sharing the load, Tina and multiprocessing.
This technique is used when large data set is processed by
more than one central processor with a single computer, and
usually this is done for multitasking, so different tasks
can be done simultaneously and real time processing.
This method is used for smaller datasets that can tolerate
slight delays and processing.
So data as a commodity, uh data has been compared with oil as a
very valuable commodity.
Large data sets have very high value in the marketplace.
That is a raw material like any other natural commodity, and it
is huge business now.
The growing profitability of the data market is projected to grow
to $15.5 billion by the end of this decade.
Enterprises are responding to this by changing enterprising
operating models, practices and processes due to potential
profits.
You actually have companies that will sell something, but they're
also making money on their data.
So if they're having a problem with one revenue stream, they
can rely on data as a second one.
Uh.
Once he's companies have governance practices and data
management implemented his time, then to try to monetize their
data.
Uh.
Types of data monetization.
One of them is just basically taking a set of data and doing
like a one off transaction.
I don't.
I'm sure it happens.
I don't know how often, but I think a lot more.
It's like they sell insights like basing it's a platform as a
service where companies can ship, store, share, analyze data
reports that are tailor made for the customer.
They turn it more into a service ecosystem.
Partners data sold to companies to use data aggregator to sell
insights and customer trends and embedded data and insights for
embedded acquired data and insights into existing products.
Umm to enhance it and these are pretty much all the major ways
that they monetize data.
I mean, there are more, but these are some of the big ones.
And that's pretty much it.
I was very nervous and thank you.
No worries.
Great.
You did a great job.
Absolutely.
Any questions for David?
I'm sorry that Landon missed it.
Because this data.
Yeah, it I love this topic.
Yeah, that was great.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
OK.
Well then we will move on to our next presenter, Daniel Crowder.
If you are ready to go.
Alrighty, I'm a bit nervous too, which is hilarious because I do
like a weekly meeting.
You think this would be no big deal?
Right, exactly.
Uh, yeah, I know.
It's weird.
Uh.
Can everybody hear me clearly in?
Alright, OK.
Yes.
You got this Daniel.
Oh yeah.
Alright, here we go.
All right, I'm doing my presentation on the future of
smart homes and can everybody see the slides, OK.
Yes.
OK good.
I've been having issues with it, but here we go.
All right, so one of the primary considerations, uh, for users,
when we add anything to our homes, to our home networks is
security.
In the case of smart home devices, there were documented
cases of over 12,000 attacks.
Attempts to breach smart home devices in one single home over
the course of a week.
Uh, that's a pretty crazy statistic, but that's just from
one single home.
If every device can connect to the Internet on its own terms in
our smart home, then it will simply be more vulnerable to
attack.
So that's something we have to keep in mind when we're building
our smart home.
Uh.
Security against would be attackers is one thing, but we
also have to consider something that kind of correlates to the
previous topic that was just spoken about how much data
organizations sell from the products that they sell to us.
They collect that data and then sell it to other companies.
Uh, they send that data back to their manufacturers and they
don't very often explain what they do with that data.
Clearly anyway, even when strong consumer privacy laws such as
the GDP are apply, manufacturers often use blanket statements and
do not explicitly explain where the data goes and why.
And the reason that they often do it that way is because they
can avoid liability under those laws if they just use a blanket
statement that can kind of skirt around it.
Uh.
Let's see.
So if security and privacy were not enough, there's one more
significant hurdle most smart homes face.
And that's Internet connectivity.
Internet connectivity is helpful for a smart home, but can also
be a significant detriment.
For starters, it creates the opportunity for your privacy and
security to be compromised.
But it does allow you to connect remotely to your smart home,
which can be a big benefit of course.
On the other hand, if you're smart, lights can only be turned
on and off when you have Internet access, there will
likely be times when you cannot use your smart home functions.
Now that we all know some of the problems, smart home present
smart homes present, we can address those problems with
solutions that make sense for us, the users.
The future of smart homes will likely always include Internet
connectivity, but will be based on a locally managed core rather
than one managed by an outside organization.
That precludes you from many of the decisions on what to share
and how to share it with a self hosted smart home platform.
You can combine devices from different manufacturers and
ecosystems, allowing you to choose the best product for your
situation and how those products connect to the Internet.
You can decide if you want to enable external assistance such
as Google or Alexa to be able to access your devices, or if you
would prefer to host your own assistant.
Home assistant is 1 solution that's currently available and
it is an open source Linux based operating system working to
bring privacy, security and customized customizability to
smart homes.
Home Assistant allows users to host its software on a variety
of devices, from Raspberry pies and an all in one solution with
the operating system preinstalled.
You could install it on a spare computer that you have laying
around at the house.
A small home server or even on an ask running Docker.
That would be fine too, since most users will likely have one
of these options available.
It is possible to get started with minimal investment, making
it ideal for those who want to try it, but are not sure it
makes sense for their home.
Best of all, many devices can be used without an Internet
connection at all.
What makes this software incredibly versatile?
Is IT support for Wi-Fi, Zigbee, ZWAVE, Bluetooth and thread
based wireless communication program protocols?
Not only is it compatible with those standards, but via
included integrations or integrations created by the
community, it can communicate and interact with products from
Amazon, Google, Sony, Home Kit, Plex, Samsung, IKEA, Phillips,
Sonos.
We could be and hundreds of other brands encompassing
thousands of products.
Some of those integrations are on display in the screenshot
here.
From my home assistant installation using devices that
connect via mesh networks and the home Assistant operating
system, it is possible to build a spark smart home that
functions faster and has fewer interruptions than one built on
an Internet only platform.
Home assistant can be used to create powerful automations by
allowing us to combine devices from a variety of manufacturers,
allowing it to do some pretty incredible things in my home.
I have many motion sensors that turn my lights on and off to
save money on my electric bill and make things more convenient
for me.
I also have dogs, so when I leave the house I don't want
them to activate my lights, so I use an automation that turns off
motion sensors.
It turns off electronics, turns off televisions and lights that
were left on, and the screenshot that I provided here is that a
way automation built in the GUI of Home assistant.
It contains conditions that check for time a day, so the
dogs aren't left in the dark.
If it's dark outside, it'll leave certain lights on.
It checks if other automations are activated, such as guest
mode, so that we don't turn the lights on if we have people
visiting from out of town.
Another example of an automation I use is a time based lighting
levels to avoid having bright lights wake me up if I need to
get up and sing twinkle twinkle for my daughter in the middle of
the night.
I highlight what automation I use in my home to provide some
context on creating your own automation.
Home Assistant provides the friendly GUI accessible or GUI,
accessible via computer and a mobile app that can be used from
your phone and even converted into a dashboard displayed on a
low cost tablet and attached to your wall to make control
centers wherever you would like to place them in your home.
The GUI allows for creating automation via a wizard or if
you want to get into extreme customization YAML programming,
you can even switch between the two on the fly to see behind the
scenes the two screenshots that I've provided.
Here are an example of an automation in the GUI up top and
then down below.
That's the exact same automation and YAML programming and all it
takes is a quick little checkbox there and you can switch between
the two.
So for people who love programming and really love to
get into extreme customer customizability, the YAML
programming aspect of Home Assistant has some extra like
really powerful abilities.
You can create custom graphics, change the GUI, create custom
buttons, custom presence sensors which can be made from a
combination of devices.
It's actually a pretty.
Useful. Uh.
With home assistant you can connect local network shares as
well that contain media Pictures, audio recordings or
graphics that you want displayed on smart TV, tvos, or played
over your smart speakers.
The automation you see here on the left side, uh, is one that
turns off.
My daughter's lights turns on her television and then plays a
piano aquarium video hosted on my local server to help her go
to sleep, all with the Press of just one button.
You can also choose if you would like to be able to connect your
smart home from the Internet or not, so you can connect it to
the Internet or not.
It's up to you.
There's no requirement for that.
Even the mobile app will work through a local link on your own
Wi-Fi.
So if you choose to use the mobile app but don't want your
home assistant connected to the Internet, you can still use the
mobile app when you're on your home Wi-Fi, so that can be very
handy to have a portable smart home interface in your pocket or
on a tablet in your home.
Uh.
You can also choose if you want to allow smart home to integrate
with Alexa or Google Assistant.
Uh, and that choice takes away some of your privacy because it
does have to expose entities.
Two, the product that you use such as Google or Alexa.
However, you do get the granular decision on exactly which
entities and by entities.
Those would be things like lights, motion sensors, but of
course a lot of motion sensors will have multiple entities
built into them, such as a lux light sensor.
To see how bright your room is, they might have a temperature
sensor built in, and each one of those would be a separate
entity.
So you would be able to choose whether you want to just the
motion sensor portion of that to be exposed to Google and not
your temperature or your luck sensor.
The same would apply to cameras.
For example, I use a few cameras in my home that I have
firewalled off which allows me to maintain security so that it
can't contact the outside world, but I can still utilize them
within my home through home assistant to display them on
smart TV's or my telephone or tablets O.
By using this you get a very high level of control over your
privacy, which is one of the things that I believe is the
future of smart homes.
So I've gone over a lot in this presentation here.
There is a lot that I did not touch on that is available in
Home Assistant and that you can do with home assistant uh.
I just wanted to give everybody an idea of what the future of
smart homes is most likely to be, because it makes sense from
a convenience, privacy and security point of view.
In the future, if there are more intense consumer privacy laws
passed, then this would be one way to make sure that companies
can adhere to those laws or it just would currently provide you
with the ability to take back some of your own privacy and
security without exposing your smart home to the Internet.
And still having the ability to.
Use smart devices within your home.
Have those smart video cameras and if you do choose to expose
it to the Internet, you can do it through a encrypted VPN
directly through it, so that when you tunnel into it then
you're getting a private connection and it's not going to
be sending a lot of data out that you're not allowing it to.
And that's pretty much all I had for my presentation.
Are there any questions or comments?
Excellent job.
Isn't it funny that you can do that?
You can turn things on and it's like I had that until we have a
every time we have a storm, I have to reset everything.
But I have that same thing where I can just turn something on or
Yes.
the lights will come on automatically on their own at
5:00 o'clock or when it gets dark and go off in the morning.
Yeah.
The best thing about Home assistant is if you host it on
your own home server and you have a small battery backup on
your router and a battery backup on the hosting machine, then
you'll never have issues with the power going out knocking any
of your stuff out.
You'll still be able to control it all.
It's actually phenomenal.
Wow.
There's some users who have taken old corded telephones and
created their own voice assistance in Home Assistant
because it gives you the capability to do that.
Your own personal Voice Assistant?
Oh, really? OK.
Yeah.
And you can pick up the telephone and talk to your Voice
Assistant.
It's kind of a geeky thing, but it's really awesome, I thought.
That's funny.
That is funny.
Wow, you never know, right?
Umm yeah.
I'm still learning.
Daniel, have you ever thought of broadcasting?
Yes.
I I've actually had that to that suggestion quite a few times,
Yes.
but to be honest, radio does not pay a lot but but.
You're right.
But we want him to do.
You got.
You got the pipes for it.
Yeah, we want him to do some of the tutorials for us.
That would be awesome.
Yes, he's got that voice, definitely.
Ohh, I actually did think about recording a couple of those.
Yeah.
I might be able to fit that in before I graduate.
Absolutely.
Oh yes.
And even afterwards, when you come back, can be perfect.
Yeah, absolutely.
That.
Thank you, everybody.
We don't let anybody leave.
Yeah, we must stay, but.
You must thank you so much.
That was awesome.
Very good.
All right.
Julia Ward, Are you ready?
I am.
Can you hear me alright?
I can.
My voice isn't going to be as good as his.
I am really sick, so if I pause, it's because I'm coughing.
No problem.
Take it easy.
OK, I'm it's been very unexpected.
Go slowly.
That's fine.
I'm sure.
Can you all see it all right?
Uh, yes, we do.
See the PowerPoint?
Yep, there you go.
All right.
I'm speaking about managing technology in a changing world.
Our technology is always changing.
In her book Technological Revolutions and Financial
Capital, Carlota Perez explains the evolution of business,
society and financial cycles.
Based on her analysis of five significant technological
revolutions over the past three centuries, her research finds
major discoveries that led to new periods of technology.
The Industrial Revolution leading to the age of stream and
railways.
The age of steel and heavy engineering, one thing to think
about is that project management started in the late 1800s during
the age of Steel.
Finally, there's the present age of software and digital.
After each new discovery, there's a new time of growth and
deployment, with new sets of processes formed until the next
great discovery.
AI will more than likely start the next period.
It probably already is the next period.
In addition to the technological periods we live in a vocal world
in regards to technology.
It's a volatile world that we can't always predict.
We manage it by having a shared vision that is flexible.
We are often uncertain because of new changes that don't have a
history.
We manage it by understanding through experiments, technology
becomes more complex in a global society.
We manage the complexity through clarity, with good communication
and teamwork.
Work is often ambiguous due to changing norms.
We managed it using agility with agile principles and practices
to change as needed.
As technology changes, people are generally in one of these
areas.
Innovators, early adopters, the early majority, the late
majority laggards.
Which some people always want their fax machine even when
they're gone.
You can say where you are within the chasm.
I am typically within the early adopters because I do not want
it to be too far out front or too far behind.
The key point is the chasm from the early majority to the early
adopters.
Once the early majority starts to move over, the rest will
start to come.
And then, innovators are off to the next thing for technology.
It is important for leaders to communicate across the chasm in
order to manage changes tenable lasting behavioral change.
Communicate three more times than you think you need in your
third of the way there.
John Connors has eight steps to leading change across
organizations.
This applies to technical technology changes.
If you cannot describe your vision to someone in 5 minutes
and get their interest, you have more work to do in this phase of
a transformation process, we should be able to easily
describe the vision goals of our product and team.
These are the eight steps caught or recommends to on how to
approach of change.
It starts with a sense of urgency, and each set takes you
along the way to promote change.
One of the key steps is generating short term wins to
show people how the change will be beneficial.
The last step is when the change is complete and you start back
on to change the next changes.
One way we manage technological change is when Mick Kirsten
talks about moving from a project mindset to a product
mindset.
Notice the balance between projects and products.
You can compare each box in the project column and then the
product column.
A project has a start and end, whereas a product is opened
until they are retired.
Note that we do projects within the context of products mixed,
Cursin says.
The problem is not with our organizations realizing that
they need to transform.
The problem is that the organizations are using
managerial frameworks and infrastructure models from past
revolutions to manage their business.
In this one, applying management frameworks from 100 years ago to
organizations that need to complete in the digital age is
frutal.
Just think about the Gantt chart.
It actually started around 1912.
Jonathan Smart proposes that we handle change in how we work by
focusing on patterns and anti patterns of how we work.
He talks about better value sooner, safer, happier, better
is about quality that is built in rather than expected in
later, with smaller slices of value.
There are fewer incidents and outages, there's less rework,
less failure demand.
More time is spent proactively rather than reactively.
Value is when why you are doing what you are doing.
It is of value to someone.
It could be financial.
It could be maintaining public safety.
It could be charitable objectives and key results and
enables ability in order to maximize value or have the
cheapest cost of failure sooner is time to market.
Time to learning to locking in progress and value early and
often lead time is the time from starting work on a on an item of
value to getting it into the hands of the customer.
Throughput is count of items of value delivered into the hands
of a customer in a given time period.
As lead time comes down, throughput should go up.
Safer is a governance risk and compliance information security,
data privacy, regulatory compliance and resilience and
chaos.
It is customers trusting your organization happier covers the
satisfaction from customers, colleagues and citizens.
When you're going through the technological change, the
recommendation is to start with why focus on outcomes.
Better value sooner, safer, happier leaders go first.
Invite over inflict as an invite someone instead of making them
do it.
Involve everyone from the top to the bottom.
Become a relearning organization.
You're never done learning.
The final quote is from John Cotter, who is the leader.
Who's the leader for change?
Leadership is about setting a direction.
It's about creating a vision, empowering and inspiring people
to want to achieve the vision and in enabling them to do so
with energy and speed through an effective strategy in order to
manage technology in this changing world, we need this
type of leaders to give us vision and guide us through
changes.
And this is my references.
If anybody has any questions.
Fantastic job.
You have the job.
That's it.
You talked about leadership.
Thank you.
You got it.
Thank you.
Good thing you're lead.
Yep, you got it.
That was great.
That was like and I am.
I have to say I'm the one who's like.
Ohh look, new toy.
I'm over all the way to the left on the first one out there.
I can.
I can understand you on that one.
Yeah, right.
Give me.
Give me a little try.
My turn.
Yeah, exactly.
OK, let's see who's next.
Muhaymin, Are you ready?
Uh yes I am.
Alrighty.
Can you all hear me well?
Yeah.
Yes, I can.
Do you see my screen?
Yes, I do.
Yes, alright.
Alright, so I would like to go over and introduction and here
it is.
Alright, so hello everyone.
We know how cyber security is becoming more important to day
by day and that is why I believe that all of us should have some
knowledge about basic yet essential server security
practices in our daily lives so that we can stay prepared
beforehand and not let any situations arise in this era of
constant connectivity, implementing robust cyber
security practices is becoming extremely important for this
purpose.
This presentation will be relevant to all of us and I will
not get into too many technicalities in this
presentation, but use an easy to understand approach for us all.
With that being said, let's uh let us start today's
presentation.
Discussing the essential server security practices for everyday
users or Internet users, right?
So let's start with the basics.
The first line of defense should be your password.
Avoid the buzzword password 123.
Instead, opt for a combination of upper and lower case letters,
numbers and symbols.
I would recommend consider using a sequence of words that holds
personal meaning to make it both strong and memorable.
Now let's talk about two factor authentication.
After building on strong passwords, add an extra layer of
defense with two factor authentication.
I know that it might sound too much, but let me explain it to
you in simple terms and this system?
Uhm, I mean you can consider two factor authentication as a
secondary verification step in this system.
Often a code is sent to your mobile device when making log in
to any of your existing accounts.
Now I guess you all will agree that it is not that very, very
difficult to understand this simple yet effective step
reduces the risk of unauthorized access even if your password is
compromised.
Cyber attackers do not need a second invitation if they
discover software vulnerabilities in your devices.
Regularly updating the software of your smartphone, computer or
other devices will help.
Now you may ask, how can I do software updates in your Android
or iOS or Windows devices.
It is enabled by default, so you do not need to worry about it.
And the virus is one term that I believe all of you have heard
before.
Now let's understand what antivirus software is.
Antivirus software works as your digital shield.
It scans, detects and removes malicious files and software
from your devices.
I would recommend you invest in a reputable antivirus programs
to safeguard your digital space.
Alright, here we shall briefly understand what phishing Aaron
is.
Is cyber criminals mantrid fishing items?
You need to be vigilant, vigilant against deceptive
emails, messages or website trying to trick you into
revealing sensitive information.
Verify the source before clicking any links and remember
your bank owned ask you for password via email.
In today's scenario, phishing attempts have become very
dangerous.
This is 1 area where Internet users must be aware on their own
to neglect such attempts.
Why cyber criminals?
I guess many of you have a high speed Internet or high speed
broadband connection in your home, but do you know this that
cyber threats can also occur through your home Wi-Fi network?
Well, it indeed does.
Your home Wi-Fi is the getaway to your dashboard.
Secure it with a strong unique password.
We have already discussed password security in an earlier
slide.
Keep those things in mind when setting up a password for your
home Wi-Fi.
On top of that, I would also recommend you use WPF 3
encryption for enhanced production.
It is also important to avoid public Wi-Fi, such as in coffee
shops and subway stations, for sensitive transaction.
Unit 2 UM next, unit 2 UH review and adjust your social media
privacy settings from this apps.
Cyber criminals can not a lot of details about you and if they
find it appropriate then they might attack you or target you.
That is why you need to spend some minutes securing it.
It would not.
I would not ask you to delete your accounts forever, but still
there are a few things that you can definitely do yourself to
tackle this potential cyber security threat.
A few things that you can do in your favorite and most used
social media apps such as Facebook and Instagram is to
limit the information visible to the public.
You can lock your Facebook account with some simple steps
and I want you.
I want to show you a quick video how to do that.
Umm.
We don't see the video.
We can't hear it either.
You'll have to turn on the computer sound.
I'm sorry you cannot hear the video song.
No.
When you when you click share, you turn on the computer sound
there's a toggle at the top right?
So you might have to reshare.
No, sorry.
Let me see.
OK.
Sorry for that.
No problem. OK.
If you want to log your Facebook profile log into your Facebook
account, once you log in, tab the three line at the top right
corner.
Once you tab these three lines, you'll have to scroll a bit down
and you'll have to tab the last option, setting them privacy
just above log out.
Then you'll have to tap the very first option that is settings.
Once you tap the options settings, you'll have tab the
very first option.
Again, that is profile settings.
Once you tap the very first option profile settings, you
will be taken to the next page.
Here you'll have to tap the option profile locking once you
tap the option profile locking it would show you that you can
launch your profile.
Just click the last button little button and your profile
will be locked.
Thank you very much for watching your profile as they lock.
Alright, so overall you need to be mindful of what you share.
You should maintain your own privacy.
Uh, you know that most apps that you use on your devices request
various permissions, including your location, phone number,
email ID, gallery access, calendar access, and so on.
However, some apps often request more than they need.
You have to regularly review and manage these permissions.
This way you will be able to minimize the risk of
unauthorized access to your personal data.
Only grant access when necessary.
We use email regularly, but do you know that even email is a
common vector for cyber threats?
You have to make sure that you do not click on suspicious links
sent to your email, especially by unknown senders.
Also, do not download attachments from unknown
sources.
In spite of all these measures, you still might become a victim
of cyber ethics.
This is why I would ask all of you to prepare yourselves for
the unexpected by regularly baking, backing up your data,
you can allow your devices to automatically backup your data
in the event of a server incident.
Having a recent backup will save you a lot of time.
DIOT or Internet of Things brings convenience, but it can
also cause vulnerabilities.
After buying a new IT device, such as a new Amazon Alexa Echo
Dot, the first thing I would do is to change the default
passwords on them.
I would also update firmware regularly.
I hope you also do the same.
Alright, so you may have kids in your houses and the chances are
they use smartphones more than they should be.
You need to educate them by you need to educate them about
online safety.
You can set up parental controls on the devices, use kits mode on
your Android devices and try child friendly apps such as
YouTube kits for their safety.
We must not forget that cyber threats evolve, staying informed
about the latest cybersecurity trends and threats will be very
important.
To do so, we can read newspapers or tech related websites such as
The Verge.
Uh gizmochina.
Tapader, etcetera to keep our knowledge up to date.
In the online world, we must ensure that we are using our
devices properly to stay away from any server related threats
to a cure.
The consequences can make your life difficult to say, at least
in conclusion.
I can say that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility by
implementing the above mentioned practices, you will be able to
protect yourself and in this digital environment, how our
model should be stay vigilant.
Stair secure.
And that ends my presentation.
These are the reference I used for the presentation.
And that is all.
If you guys have any question.
Fantastic.
That was awesome.
Still looking in my phone to see how to lock everything out.
I have a question real quick.
I'll find the video that.
Uh, Speaking of the evolving threats, have you run across a
AI generated voice telephone call that's basically phishing
vishing uh, using an AI voice?
It's actually really creepy and uncanny because it's very close
and darn near perfect for a human voice.
But if you pay really close attention, things like cadence
and speech patterns aren't right for like a human generated
voice.
And you can tell it also takes too long to respond when you ask
it questions, as if it were it not just it.
Like so.
Like it's processing.
Basically, if you ever run across one of those.
Uh, no, I haven't.
I actually am still learning fishing and I'll definitely you
know try that.
Yeah, you should look it up.
I'm sure somebody's recorded one, but I've actually had a
couple of those phone calls come through to my cell phone from
people claiming to be with like health companies and then things
asking for personal information.
It's really interesting.
Right, yeah.
Yeah, I got one for health.
Great presentation.
Yeah, I got one for the police.
Umm.
What do they have that that, you know, sending money to them?
To help with the police, you can tell right away because it
doesn't answer correctly.
You say hello and it takes too long.
Yeah, it it takes about a couple seconds, you know, and then
Yep.
Yeah.
starts.
You can really tell it's automated.
Yeah, it's not.
And the and the.
Yeah.
And the police won the automated that he's like.
Yeah, I or you know, hey, this is this is Jennifer and I'm here
to call you about this.
I'm like I never signed up for that.
I don't know you, Jennifer.
And yeah, sometimes they they do so perfect.
They uh, they put like background noise of real people.
So you know, there's a real crowd, you know.
Umm yeah, yeah.
Yep, need to look out for those. Excellent job.
Thank you very much.
That was good.
Thank you.
OK.
And now we have Sonali.
Yes, I'm ready.
Are you ready? OK.
Let me share my screen.
Good evening everyone.
Umm, I'm going to present the AI AI base, the project planning
and the project management which is very easy using the AI tools
and I have the also the couple of AI tools, the case studies
which I just find out through the Google and some of the
company which is using that I was not able to find out the
project names because that's confidential information which
is a is not sharing but we had enough information.
OK, so efficiency is important for successful project
management and artificial intelligence is set to change
this field in a big way with AI, project managers can make their
planning smoother, use resource better and reduce risk.
In this presentation, we will learn about effective planning
and see how a I can make a used difference in project
management.
Umm by using the AI tool we have a some benefits.
I'm just going to discuss all the benefits, not the cons,
because I'm here to just present the AI tools for the project
management.
So with the AI tools improve, we can improve the decision making.
Like AI being integrated hubs make better decision by using
data analysis and insight, leading to smart choices
throughout the project's life.
Life it can also provide the better efficiency.
It's analyzer youth sets of data making processes smoother,
automating task and constantly monitoring the progress which
oral Max project management, more efficient and more smoother
releases.
Uh, it can also reduce the risk AI, neck force, molting pattern
and predicting outcome health anticipate possible risk
allowing proactive steps to reduce errors and prevent risk
from becoming bigger problems.
For example, if release can be cancelled, we cannot deliver
stuff on the deadline, so this everything can be on track by AI
tools.
It has the features like AI can predict the timeline.
Uh, for example, if the umm any project manager is working on
the timeline.
Uh for budgeting the proper hours.
Then I can help them by using the historical data to create
the real time factors enabling property adjustment to ensure
the timely delivery.
This contribute to improve the project efficiency and success.
It can also help for the task management or like it has the
leverage algorithm and predictive analytics to optimize
the task assignment and allocate resources officially.
Also it can use the resource between the two teams, like one
for the support, one for the project development.
So it's better efficient for the resource on assignment by
automating these processes, organizations can maximize
productivity, minimize delays, and ensure successful project
completion.
EI also enable real time adjustment and adaptability
improving overall project efficiency and success rates,
because in the nowadays we have to like 80 to 90% projects which
is ongoing every day which is starting, but it can be failed
most of them because of the improper management or the like
some of the risk.
So yeah, I can help that.
The AI tools I'm presenting some case studies highlight and some
AI tool example which can help for the successful
implementation of AI in project management across various
industries, from streamlining communication and collaboration
to optimizing resource allocation and risk prediction.
This example demonstrates how AI can reveal an ICE project
management and deliver more efficient and successful
outcomes.
So the first one is the umm that maybe you can also Google it.
That is an artificial intelligence driven project
management application which is developed to streamline and
automate project management.
Uh dot S GT 4 technology allowed teams to spend less time on
administrative activities and more on real project work,
saving up to the like third of the time normally spent on the
project management.
So the platform platform, streamline interface and REACH
keyboard shortcut make it ideal uh for productivity.
We can also set here our, uh, preferable keyboard shortcuts
for like daily routine activities that the way for
teams to organize task, subtask and projects, and seamlessly
rollover Sprint cycle with total freedom of action.
So if we are working with the Azure then we can also manage
all the Sprint time to time and depend on the modules.
In addition, that may be adjusted to accommodate the
unique routine of different groups and improving
coordination across department and personal that also provides
many connector with common application like email, slack,
GitHub and notion.
Allowing teams to collaborate effectively across the devices
without moving between the application.
The test IO.
Uh, the organization, which is working for the QS services
which is basically like a handling the defects providing
the quality analysis team for any project work.
Which organization is using the dart as a paired project
manager?
So that's the real time scenario example.
The next one is Anza.
So it's easy to navigate and it comes with a wide variety of
project management templates and it also has the template for
creating a report and useful mode which chat functions so
that you can stay in touch with your team through a social media
like the right side.
There the screen shot, which is just an error hunt, but yeah we
can manage the team such like we are managing the social media.
So it's a very easy tool to create a custom report and
valuable details uh for Anna Enza.
I didn't find out any real world example, but I have for others.
Those are straight business.
May be use the process St to manage processes and improve
efficiency.
The system is driven by chat GPT, which is automated work on
project and boost the productivity.
It's main function include the project management, deliverable
tracking, automated check-ins, enhanced data analytics, and
routine shop management.
Slack step here and trailer are just a few project management
apps that may be integrated with process, trade and processed.
It is used by the Accenture and the Cisco for that.
Some of the project manage.
The next one is stepsize, so for comprehensive task and project
tracking, step size AI pros to be a valuable tool.
It simplifies project management by consolidating task and
project into centralized platform.
The AI powered observation of step size analysis project data
offering intelligent suggestion to enhance the productivity and
it can suggest to for like we can use this to resource for
between the two that project like some of the hours for this
dedicated timelines and some of them for the research.
So it can suggest a very better ways to manage the resources and
manage the time.
It's identified the bottlenecks and optimize the resource
utilizations and step size is using by the adume.
The Adume is organization with training the customer and we're
providing the training for like whatever the project is going to
release or some of the application.
So it's basically the training based software and also the
other I have the example that's a new order.
So new order is the ecommerce platform which is uh, something
like this Shopify we can create the multiple ecommerce based
website.
Uh, automatically on the new order and new order is using
this this step size tool as a project manager.
The next one is proof of proof of emerge as a smart AI driven
project management solution that enhanced team collaboration and
operational efficiency.
The AI in proof of monitor essential metrics such as task
distribution and team availability, providing timely
alert and insight.
Furthermore, proof of AI automates the project reporting,
giving project manager more time to concentrate on their primary
duties.
So proverb is, I think the preferable and it's also trusted
by like University of the Michigan Netflix and the night.
So it has a better functionality.
I did the research on the report.
One uh, it was a pretty easy one to understand and I think it's
also helping for every day.
Uh.
Task and timeline for the project manager.
The next one is the project insight.
So the capability of the project inside make it preferred choice
for team seeking, effective collaboration and real time
project management teams may manage project more effectively
with the help of the software which helps with resource
management cost estimation.
This is the new feature that we found in the project inside and
the deadline planning real time update ensure teams stay
informed about ongoing projects and fostering transparency and
agility.
So project Insight is used by the Paycor organization and
Pecor is the HR software.
Most of the small businesses are using the pay core as their HR
software to manage their employee.
The second last one is the like solidly.
The AI powered project management assistant, a solidly
AI, helps cut unnecessary meeting and boost output.
This is the great feature, right?
The primary goal of this application is to let its user
focus on the work at hand while still receiving important
notification and information solidly.
It notifies team member when changes are needed, distributes
the personalized instruction to partner teams, and coordinates
messaging for end users.
It also monitor incoming text messages, allowing user to
silence interruption by disabling alert.
I like it by employing AI to keep tabs on the particular and
lessons.
Uh, the time spent playing, playing catch up solidly.
I helps team overcome the challenges of constant
interruption from pings, meetings and other sources.
The tool aims to reduce interruption and free users
attention to concentrate on the task.
So this is the solid I.
It's a great tool.
The last one is click up.
I think this is my favorite.
11 notable player is in this arena is clickable AI, a
platform that offers a personalized project management
software assistant.
The on this year.
Do you want?
Assistant helps streamline task from condensing meeting notes to
creating action items.
Click up AI supports several workflows such as Agile, Scrum,
and Kanban and offer the features like pre structured
headers and tables to ensure flexibility for range of project
management methodologies and click up is used by the front in
it, which is cybersecurity organization.
I'm also with the IT click up is used by the booking.com.
I think everybody knows that one and also by used by the Spotify.
Spotify is the one music application they have the other
application as well, but they are using the click up as well,
so they are the very big client for the click up.
That was the last one told that I found.
Maybe that is many more tools.
Umm.
But I would require to research, but I think I like the click up
in the conclusion.
I'm like this is the AI world.
So the way we plan project in the future is connected to AI as
machine learning and the predictive analytic get better.
There will keep making projects work smoother and more
successful to keep up in fast changing business world, it's
important to welcome AI.
In summary, umm, using AI in project planning has a lot of
promise for making things more efficient and ensuring project
success for companies that want the best outcome for their
project.
In today's competitive world, adopting AI technologies is
really important.
I held there are Francis and.
Thank you.
Any questions.
So this is really great to see and I'm wondering is there
something and a high an AI project planning system that we
could use in the internship?
Maybe that's free.
Yeah.
So umm, the tools that I present, UM among them.
The two tools which have which is providing free version for
limited edition but that's also the greater one for manage the
task and the resource alignment I can do the more research and
can bring up one report.
Because you were saying click up, it seems like that one might
be a good one, but yeah, I'm wondering if it's something that
Yeah.
maybe we can get through them and maybe they'll give it to us
free being that it's an internship, but we'd have to see
of course.
Yeah.
See how that goes.
Anyone have any other?
That's a good idea.
Yeah.
I mean, in whatever we can use case, if we don't have enough
project management interns, we can at least have the system and
it's always good for us to start some AI as well.
However, that might be.
I agree.
Anyone, anyone else have any other questions for Sonali?
Well, I have to say I have.
Thank you so much.
Everybody did a wonderful job.
A lot of information.
I love it.
Never want to miss these master classes, I'm telling you. Umm.
So is there anybody?
I guess last chance if you want to go ahead and do your
presentation now, seeing how well everybody else did.
If you're ready and you have done yours already and you can
switch out, we do have some time that we can use.
Maybe you know, throw in one more and the be out of here by
9:30.
It's up to you.
I do have three students now that will have to find a way to
get their presentations done.
Since I don't have anymore times open.
Umm, that's where.
That's the hotspot.
That's really just, you know, if you miss out, you lose out.
So you have to do and then weekly status meeting.
I mean, in the weekly meetings and there's only so much time to
be able to do that too, because of course the course is the
meetings have to cover the topics of interest for that
meeting.
So anybody raise your hand if you've got one.
How do you feel about impromptu speeches?
Like you just come up with it now instead of having something
made.
Yeah.
I mean, you can do a live one too, if it's something that
you're going to show, how something was done and it's it's
live, you know, like you're showing it off the the Internet
or however you're doing it.
Maybe next week.
Ah OK, I don't know.
Because we're two hours, we're two hours out on all these other
weeks.
So that's the problem.
So it would have to be.
That's why I needed someone to switch with the interns that we
had.
And if you switch to get it done now, but then I can go ahead and
give them a spot later on so.
Umm, I thank everybody though you have some great
presentations.
Absolutely wonderful.
Umm I am working on setting up that project to go and have
someone upload those to pgip pods.
That way, once it is on there, you can say that you've been
published and because you have been, you'll be up there on PGIP
pods.
PGIP pods will also be is also connected to a few Spotify and I
heart and a few other places.
So you're gonna get out there.
Voice is gonna get out there.
So just.
And now you're just creeping me out.
No, I'm just kidding.
Yeah, yeah.
There you just.
That's it.
No, I'm OK with it.
It's no worries, but yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, you got the voice for it.
So you don't have to worry about it.
Well, I mean my I felt like I was like kind of stuttering a
bit during my presentation from nerves.
No, no.
Everybody else.
Excellent presentations, guys.
In the.
Really good jobs.
Isn't it funny you do you do meetings all the time and then
presentation.
You're like, Oh my God, now it's me and all eyes are on me, and
it's like, well, eyes are on the screen.
Yeah, yeah.
I think it's because you put so much more work into this one
You're OK?
Uh-huh. Yep.
because it's like longer, you know, whereas the weekly one
it's it's a few days worth of prep for that maybe.
Right.
And it's it's just the small group too.
This is this is a big one, definitely presenting. Uh.
I should have had Daniel do my voice over.
How?
Right.
Definitely.
I owe somebody.
After Nikki helped me out with those slides in the AHOD
meeting.
Man, that was that.
Saved my, saved my bacon that day just because it was so.
My computer just kept crashing.
I figured out by the way.
If anybody's having issues presenting through teams on
Windows 11, if it keeps crashing on you when you try to share
your screen or your web browser, turn off HDR if you have it on.
That seems to be what was going on with mine.
Isn't that funny?
It's always something.
That's why I'm not getting 11 right away.
Get the bugs out.
You gonna turn things off?
A quick question.
Good evening everyone.
Sure.
PGIP pods.
Is it PGIP pod like a podcast like is the presentation like
Yes.
Yeah.
the 50 minute presentation gonna be uploaded to that podcast?
The the the PGIP the the master class recording will be on PGIP
pods so they can either watch it or they can preferably watch it
Oh, OK.
of course because you guys have presentations but they can
listen to it as well.
It doesn't work as well if the if it's a presentation, it
That's.
doesn't work as well.
You know, if it's a podcast, but if it's a viewable podcast, it
does work good.
So but we with pgippods.com, which is what we handle, we I
The.
make sure that all the master classes are on there.
Ah, OK, awesome.
Pjpauses.com.
OK.
Yep.
Thank you.
You're welcome, Jaden.
Hello.
So do you need someone for the 23rd of December?
For the master class.
No, I needed someone for tonight.
OK.
So they could switch because they're the term for they end on
the on the 19th and the 23rd of December.
For these, for these individuals, and they needed to
switch over to do, they needed to take someone you know, to
swap dates.
OK, OK.
They they are leaving the 19th and the 23rd of December, so
they need to do them now before it gets too close and I don't
have any other openings.
Uh for December, so it's tight.
I wish I had a presentation, but sadly I don't.
Right.
Is yours done now you're not OK?
I mean, the closest thing I could do is like do an
impromptu.
How to make a unity game thingy or something, but that would
Right, I know.
require preparation beforehand either way.
Yeah, right.
Because you you want to know what you're talking about and
stuff too.
Exactly.
I get it.
And have all the files repaired and all that.
Yes, yes.
Yes, all right. Well.
Umm.
What's the exact list? Ohh.
Like.
My presentation is going to be in January, but if we absolutely
need, I don't know if that would work with switching with them,
but I could.
Umm just do an impromptu presentation on body worn
cameras through Axon.
Yes.
And then again, it would have to be tonight.
Umm.
And they are leaving on the 19th and and the 23rd of December.
So they have to do it by then.
Thank you though.
So yeah.
What's the exact?
Sorry, sorry.
What's the exact link for the PGIP pods?
I can't find it it it or you could just I could just read the
Uh.
instructions wherever you guys.
And yeah, here.
Hold on.
Let me get it for you.
Thank you.
Copy.
I'll put it in the chat.
There we go.
Thank you so much.
It you're welcome, HTTPS.
Slash slash www.pgippods.com.
Huh.
Don't have a little picture there.
Wonder why it does have a little picture right there.
All right.
Well, thank you everybody.
You did a great job.
Don't forget to put that on LinkedIn.
Uh, absolutely.
Upload it.
I mean, you know, once we get this out and if you can download
it and grab your part of the masterclass, make a little video
of it, put it up in your LinkedIn so they can see it, you
probably get a job like that.
It's no promises, but it's a possibility telling you because
these these presentations are great and they love to see the
initiative of what you guys are doing.
So I think you've done a great job.
Congratulations for getting this done now.
Of course, if you're a master student, you may have your first
or second one to do.
Depending now, of course, because I have.
A2 Sonali just got her second one done which is good and then
I have I think two students who were supposed to do the first
ones.
Now they're going to have to do 2 ones unless I can swap or do
something with that.
So we'll play with this schedule as much as we can to get that
done.
Umm, thank you so much.
Congratulations and have a good rest of the evening and we can
be safe.
Goodnight everybody.
Goodnight.
Thank you.
Thank you. Bye.
Night everyone.
Goodnight everybody.
