This was a difficult decision. It seemed almost obscene to write articles about optical networking. But we believe that by continuing to do our jobs we fought back, in the only way we could, against the terrorists who had already inflicted so much pain on the citizens of this city and of the United States.
There are no bright points, no positives, to emerge this week. Still, all of us at Light Reading were touched by the messages we received from optical networking companies all around the world checking to see that we are OK. They've made me realize that the people who work in optical networking are not
simply part of an industry. We are a community.
Our message boards are another example of this community. Almost all the postings since Tuesday relate to the tragedy. They have demonstrated the best and worst about people. Obviously, we don't endorse the hatred and the rage in some of these messages. But we continue to believe that people must have a chance to discuss how they feel.
And some messages simply must be read:
By combining resources and expertise, the AI-Enabled ICT Workforce Consortium will offer a blueprint for how industries can adapt to an AI-dominated future.
IT leaders should heed the guidance of cybersecurity insurance providers who think businesses should prioritize security education, incident preparedness, regular internal audits, and ongoing vulnerability scanning and patching.
There are many network courses that can address your present job's priorities and help you gain the needed skills to keep pace with industry changes and new technologies.
