Working in a home office during the difficult times of the Corona pandemic is a good alternative for companies to protect employees and the enterprise. In large corporations,like Wirecard IT managers normally utilize all available tools to ensure that employees can work securely in their home office. They typically have corporate notebooks for that purpose, with everything already on board to connect securely with the corporate network.
Even VPN is very slow these days for security purposes, even secured corporate notebooks should connect to the company via Internet only per VPN (virtual private network). This secure data tunnel from an external PC or notebook into the network practically cannot be hacked and also uses encryption
Instead of meeting face-to-face, videoconferences have already offered an alternative for quite some time now. Especially in the home office, this type of conference can be quickly and easily managed. I use GoToMeeting or Zoom

Here are six technologies that are particularly valuable in improving our lives:Our achievements in tech have no limit. Not only do these technologies help us to continue living our daily lives, but they also help us achieve milestones that a decade ago might have seemed impossible.
- Big data and AI track and anticipate the spread of viruses more accurately than ever before, enabling governments and health organizations to be better prepared. Israel is already trialing an AI-based solution to predict where the next outbreak might happen – this solution could be expanded to other countries as well.
- Autonomous vehicles can be used to deliver packages, including groceries or even medical supplies, making it easier to reach those in need while significantly reducing contact between people.
- Medical robots are a game changer. Some can already even treat patients: A robot designed in China is being used to carry out ultrasounds, take mouth swabs and even listen to organs.
- Digital platforms, like TeleClinic, provide virtual medical consultations and treatment. Contact between people is reduced, curbing the risk of infection. Increasing adoption rates of similar platforms can lead to a new era of medical care.
- More and more people are staying at home, but daily life has to continue. Online services make it possible to keep working, stay entertained, and get fit – yoga, anyone?
- We are social beings, and thanks to social networks we can keep on communicating to hold on to normality in our daily lives as much as possible.

PayPal has announced on Friday, 4 October, that the company is withdrawing from the Libra Association.
A spokesperson of the company told CoinDesk in a statement that they ‘made the decision to forgo further participation’ in the Facebook-initiated crypto project, and instead to continue focusing on advancing their ‘existing mission and business priorities’ in their intent to ‘strive to democratise access to financial services for underserved populations’.
Facebook revealed Libra in June 2019, announcing that it would launch a stablecoin meant to bring financial services to unbanked individuals worldwide. The project was met with immediate regulatory backlash, and with policymakers in multiple countries claiming that Facebook might run the risk of destabilising the global monetary order. However, PayPal remains supportive of Libra’s aspirations, as Facebook has been a longstanding strategic partner to PayPal.
