mobile applications or computer programs.
• Updating existing programs. Programmers also create and install
updates for existing software programs. An update might include a bug
fix, or enhanced functionality to improve the user experience.
• Identifying and correcting coding errors. On a daily basis, computer
programmers might assist in troubleshooting parts of a website or
computer program that are not functioning correctly.
• Rewriting programs for different operating systems. Often,
programmers have to rewrite code in different languages, so that
programs and applications can be compatible with different operating

 • Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity
The primary goal of this technology is to increase data security on smart
networks; therefore, businesses should prioritize optimizing smart device
security capabilities.
• Blockchain, one of the most secure ICT trends
guarantees that the integrity of data is maintained while doing away with
single control over information and party middlemen. To enable the
automation of transactions and communications, the data are thus stored
in a highly secure and encrypted manner, thereby providing an
unquestionable boost to digital identity.

Issues in Information and Communications Technology (ICT)

• Cybersecurity threats: With the increasing reliance on digital systems
and the internet, cybersecurity threats such as hacking, malware,
phishing, and cyber-attacks have become a significant concern for
individuals, businesses, and governments. Protecting sensitive data and
critical infrastructure from cyber threats is a top priority.
• Data privacy and regulation: The collection, storage, and use of personal
data by companies and organizations have raised concerns about data
privacy.
