  Metaverse: The dawn of a new age                In the course of further digitalization of markets, but also as a space for the “cyber” in  cyber-physical systems of the  IIoT  (Industrial Internet of Things) , such virtual spaces could gain in importance and also dramatically change  business interactions . With this introduction, we embark upon a discussion of these new phenomena, which will be supplemented in future blogs. For example, in other blogs, we explain what are potential vulnerabilities and cyber risks and show how to ensure  cyber security in the Metaverse , or  what the metaverse can look like for retail and CPG companies . What is the Metaverse? The metaverse is a virtual world where people can interact with each other. It is basically a digital place where people come together to learn, play and work. The big difference between the metaverse and other online platforms is that it is...

  What is the Deep and Dark Web? The dark web is a hidden part of the internet not indexed by regular search engines, accessed through specialized browsers like Tor. It hosts both legal and illegal activities, offering anonymity but also posing risks like scams and illicit content. What is the dark web, deep web, and surface web? The Internet is sizable with millions of web pages, databases, and servers all run 24 hours a day. But the so-called "visible" Internet (aka surface web or open web) — sites that can be found using search engines like Google and Yahoo — is just the tip of the iceberg. There are several terms surrounding the non-visible Web, but it's worth knowing how they differ if you're planning to browse off the beaten path.

  What are Micro Frontends? The term  Micro Frontends  first came up in ThoughtWorks Technology Radar at the end of 2016. It extends the concepts of micro services to the frontend world. The current trend is to build a feature-rich and powerful browser application, aka single page app, which sits on top of a micro service architecture. Over time the frontend layer, often developed by a separate team, grows and gets more difficult to maintain. That’s what we call a  Frontend Monolith . The idea behind Micro Frontends is to think about a website or web app as  a composition of features  which are owned by  independent teams . Each team has a  distinct area of business  or  mission  it cares about and specialises in. A team is  cross functional  and develops its features  end-to-end , from database to user interface. However, this idea is not new. It has a lot in common with the  Self-contained Syste...
