In order to fix the problem, they had to hire a specialist team of IT forensic consultants that had to rebuild their system and restore data at cost of $45,000. The cyber policy covered the external costs associated with restoring, repairing and rebuilding systems. Where to from here? There is a significant need for organisations and boards to become more aware of the threat that cyber risk poses to their bottom line, brand & reputation. As awareness increases and highly publicised breaches continue to be seen in the media, companies are looking to transfer some of the financial risk off the balance sheet to an insurance mechanism. As insurers contemplate the opportunities around this growing market, they must also consider the risks. This is often a difficult class to price given limited historical actuarial data. This is particularly heightened when considering the impact of aggregate exposure amongst insureds often using the same cloud providers and the systemic risk that may flow from a ‘black swan’ event.

    www.ijcrt.org © 2021 IJCRT | Volume 9, Issue 5 May 2021 | ISSN: 2320-2882 GESTURE KEYBOARD USING ARDUINO P. R. Rodge1 Gawali Harshada2 Chaudhari Pooja3 More Mayur4 1Professor of Computer Engineering Department, SSJCOE, Maharashtra, India 2Student of Computer Engineering Department, SSJCOE, Maharashtra, India 3Student of Computer Engineering Department, SSJCOE. Maharashtra, India 4Student of Computer Engineering Department, SSJCOE, Maharashtra, India ABSTRACT Different keyboards are available in the market, with variations in size, layouts, programs, and functionalities. Recently, virtual keyboards are also in use but for every single keyboard, the user should remember the arrangement of keys in order to enter different characters. Remote-based gesture keyboard is a system that serves on the Internet of Things [IoT] architecture and embedded with Arduino as well as the accelerometer and machine learning process that enforces the system to perform in the desired direction. The remote-based gesture keyboard is the model, where the user can enter text and number in a text editor by moving a hand to the specific motion of characters in the air using Arduino. Arduino operates as a remote where gestures relocate into the air, translating into letters, and exposing them on a computer screen. Keywords— gesture, Arduino, remote, keyboard. I.INTRODUCTION The keyboard plays a vibrant role in the computer system for the entry of data by pressing the number of keys. In today’s generation screen touch keyboards are mostly used and gesture keyboards also used only for physically disabled people and for special use. There is plenty of variation in layouts of the physical keyboard such as AZERTY, QWERTY, Dvorak Colemak, Maltron, and JCUKEN.

  • Thorough Software Layout Machine Analysis
    Thorough Software Layout Machine Analysis Kristian Tichota March 10, 2021 0.1 Abstract This analysis investigates some claims about typing ergonomics using three large corpora of varying language complexities and SteveP's fork of the Patorjk analyzer. It ranks the software layouts by the scores assigned by the analyzer. It concludes that for the layouts tested, variations in language complexity have no significant impact on typing ergonomics on Ergodox keyboards while a higher language complexity results in significantly higher scores on ANSI keyboards. Even when punctu- ation is present, all of the tested alternative layouts score significantly higher than QWERTY. All layouts tested score significantly higher on Ergodox than ANSI keyboards. According to the test method, Colemak-DH and MTGAP score the highest on ANSI and Ergodox keyboards. 1 0.2 Introduction There have been many attempts to create alternative software layouts to improve upon QWERTY, the two most notable of which are Dvorak [1] and Colemak [2]. The majority of popular layouts are based on Colemak and/or Dvorak. Despite the growing number of claims regarding typing ergonomics, such as Workman's claim that same finger utilization does not influence ergonomics [3], or that ergonomic keyboards do not influence ergonomics [4], there has not been enough scientific research [5] and the bulk of machine analysis has not been sufficiently thorough. The goal of this analysis is to thoroughly investigate some of those claims while avoiding pitfalls such as inadequate sample size, inaccurate analyzer, poor interpretation of results, and bias. 0.2.1 Primary claims to be investigated: 1. Alternative layouts are only good for common English 2.
