There are some things in life that we can only learn about through firsthand experience. No matter how much we dream, read, or listen to advice about such things, nothing can fully prepare us for their reality. Being a mother is one of these amazing things.

We can be a mother of a baby, a child, or a grown-up; a birth or adoptive mother; a mother to our nephews, neighbors, pets, or plants. A solo or co-parent, a father-mother or even a mother to our own parents. The moment we become responsible for someone, we take on this new role in our lives.

While this can be the most joyful experience in the world and provide unimaginable love and fulfillment, it can also come with a list of never-ending challenges. The more help we can get in our everyday lives, the better well be able to manage the tasks that we want to accomplish.

Home security and automation are of great value in this sense. A home with custom solutions can make every mothers life easy and comfortable in a few clicks. From safety and comfort, to peace of mind, custom solutions allow us to leverage the benefits of modern times whilst performing our daily tasks.

As concerned about our kids as we may be, we cant keep them close all the time. But we can take steps to keep them safe and ease our worries in the process. When they walk home from school, for instance, we want to ensure that they arrive safe and nothing bad happens on their way home. Imagine being sent a text when your front door opens and being able to view your children enter your house, using a simple smartphone app.

And if they forget to take their keys with them, you can unlock the door remotely using the same app ensuring that they can get inside safely, instead of waiting at the neighbours.

Concerned about the kids playing around your pool, especially your little ones? Motion detection cameras can show what activity is happening around the area, at any time. Wherever we are (at home or outside), custom monitoring solutions can help us keep an eye on everything.

New moms know how sacred a babys nap is. Any movement or noise can wake them up, and it may be a while before they (or we) fall asleep again. How we wish that we could elongate our arms to reach that far away remote control or light switch. Well, wish no longer. With the same all-in-one app, you can simply press a button on your phone to adjust the lighting or turn the TV volume down. Simple as it should be!

For smoother mornings, imagine replacing the loud clock alarm in the kids bedroom with some exciting music, and programming the lights to turn on automatically at a chosen time. Then all we need to do is come in shortly afterward, and ensure that they are up and ready to head to school.

On those days when we come home from the grocery store holding multiple bags, without a hand to spare, we can simply turn on the lights and unlock the door with a finger.

When we become mothers, finding time for ourselves is tough. Kids demand so much attention! Still, its important to take some me time to go for a run or sit at the park to enjoy the peace and quiet.

When taking this time to ourselves, we may perhaps leave our eldest child to babysit the youngest or leave the dog at home alone. Nevertheless, we can still see what is happening at home by checking the app on our device. We can also check that the doors are locked, or turn on the lights when it gets dark. And if someone rings the doorbell, we can answer it remotely on their behalf.

At the end of the day, when the kids go to bed and your pet is napping contentedly at your feet, it can be a real treat to simply lie down on the couch with our smartphone and order some food. Might as well dim the lights, adjust the temperature, and stream a movie On Demand, too. Moments like this are precious and remind us of the things we like to do and who we are beyond being a mom.

Security and automation solutions provide great features to everyone, especially to the mother figures who tell us real stories every day. Just like each unique mother, TELUS Custom Security Systems can bring a unique solution to every moms life.

The report offers advice for how insurers can turn self-service virtual claims processing into a competitive advantage and outlines a 2025 claims automation roadmap

ATLANTA, May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis Risk Solutions today released its 2021 "Future of Claims Report," revealing how the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated claims automation. The report includes actionable insights for auto insurance carriers to improve their customer experience and turn virtual claims processing into a competitive advantage. The secret? Offering a hybrid model of self-service claims with access to a personal touch when consumers feel they need it.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions (PRNewsfoto/LexisNexis Risk Solutions)

The third edition of the bi-annual LexisNexis Risk Solutions study tracks the auto insurance industry landscape and identifies the latest trends in claims processing, including how the insurance industry is adapting in its automation journey and where carrier and consumer perceptions intersect and diverge on the road toward touchless claims processing. As part of its analysis, LexisNexis Risk Solutions interviewed 25 auto insurance claims executives and surveyed 1,750 auto insurance policy holders, of which 1,000 filed a claim within the last two years (a subset of which filed claims since March 2020 after lockdowns were initiated). The results of the study underscore how the pandemic has impacted the claims process and helped define a new normal.

Prior to the pandemic, less than 15% of auto insurance claims were handled virtually, but as soon as the shutdown was implemented in March 2020, virtual claims handling increased to 100% - based on conversations with insurance carriers. Now, just over a year later, virtual claims handling has settled to a level of a little over 60%, illustrating that while consumers are getting comfortable with automated processes, insurance carriers have some work to do to keep the industry moving toward a future of touchless claims.

"While the past year has proven to be a great awakening for claims automation, we're now at a crossroad, and what will set insurers apart is a complete claims handling digital transformation and move from traditional to touchless," said Bill Brower, Vice President, Claims, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "As we look ahead to 2025, the industry should be optimistic that we will soon see a day when the vast majority of claims will be processed virtually. But it will take hard work to get there."

Story continues

The Future of Claims reveals that auto insurance carriers are on their way to touchless claims, but that insurers need to understand and cater to their customers' wants and needs when it comes to the digital claims experience to get to complete adoption of the process. Key highlights include:

Comfort and satisfaction with the claims automation process is increasing and consumers are now seeing the advantages of self-service claims, as 62% say it's more convenient to submit a claim any time/anywhere, and 55% say it enables faster claims settlement.

Younger, more technology-savvy generations are adopting faster as 68% of Millennials and 53% of Gen Xers say that the pandemic has made them open to filing a claim online.

Mastering a hybrid model is the sweet spot for claims processing as it provides the benefits of automated solutions combined with access to help from a Claims Representative when consumers feel they need it, which helps avoid frustration.

Automation has shifted from driving efficiency to driving decisioning as carriers are now leveraging the benefits of artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance the processes for damage assessments, segmentation, estimations and payouts, in addition to intake support.

Areas of Improvement to Increase Customer SatisfactionWhile adoption is increasing and overall virtual claims satisfaction remains high at 92%, those "very satisfied" with their recent virtual claims process slipped 11% since 2019, likely driven by increased consumer expectations for ease of use. Many indicated dissatisfaction with some of the tools, particularly for more complex claims. To improve the customer experience with self-service claims, the study reports that timeliness, reducing the number of touchpoints, and utilizing features like data prefill are the areas of focus for carriers.

Although consumers may be most vocal about the ease of their virtual claims experiences, it's actually data privacy concerns that are their primary apprehension when it comes to adopting touchless claims. More than three in five (61%) consumers expressed concern about the security of their personally identifiable information when submitting claims virtually. While carriers understand the importance of cybersecurity, only one in 10 are using two-factor identification, which may suggest a struggle to address cybersecurity in their claims processes.

"Overall, consumers are willing to move to more self-service claims options as long as the experience continues to evolve to meet their expectations and deliver the benefits of convenience and security," continued Brower. "Whether claims automation will become the new normal is still up for debate, but this past year has proven to be a powerful proof point for the viability of automated claims processing, both in terms of insurer capabilities and consumer receptivity. Now is the time for insurers to continue to develop and refine their claims handling digital transformation, before it's too late."

The Daytona Beach News-Journal

In case anyone hasnt noticed or, more properly, refuses to acknowledge, there is a trend toward unemployment that has been taking place since the Industrial Revolution, driven not by disease but by automation and the ongoing introduction of labor-saving machines.

At first, it was in the productive cycle. Machines can produce goods faster and more efficiently than human employees. What to do? Well, lets create service jobs, like retail sales and banking. That worked, albeit not very lucratively for the employees, until the advent of online purchasing and electronic banking.

So where do these millions of displaced employees go? There are only so many lawns to mow or entertainment vacancies to fill. I know. Well use some of them to deliver all these products theyre no longer needed to produce, or that are being produced abroad for slave wages. That will work until the latest trend kicks in delivery by drone, that is already proving its convenience, effectiveness and profitability. How many people are we going to need to service the drones, which will no doubt soon be able to sort out the deliveries for themselves?

There is a pandemic at work here that eclipses any biological threat, and even more intractable. It is the replacement of people by technology. And its not going away. Businesses do not exist to employ people. They exist to make a profit. Employees are a pain. They constantly demand higher pay. They get sick. They take time off. And they cant live on relief forever.

Automation is on the rise and so are the threats against human employment - Daytona Beach News-Journal

ThreatQuotient has launched a data-driven approach to SOAR and XDR to help accelerate detection and response.

The company has announced its new ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator, a data-driven automation capability that enables users to control what actions are to be taken, when, and why through the use of data.

With the shortage of security personnel, automation has become a key strategy to offload repetitive tasks and empower humans to conduct advanced security operations tasks more efficiently, the company states.

To date, automation has been looked at as defining a process and the steps needed to complete that process.

This approach ignores the fact that automation is much more than just running the process, according to the company. In reality, there are three important stages of automation to define and address.

These are initiate, run and learn. Initiate,define what should have actions taken upon it and when those actions should occur; run, perform the course of action or defined process through to completion; and learn, record what is learned for analytics and to improve future response.

ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator puts the smarts in the platform and not the individual playbooks by using Smart Collections and data-driven playbooks, ThreatQuotient states.

The application of Smart Collections and data-driven playbooks provides for simpler configuration and maintenance, and provides a more efficient automation outcome.

This approach further addresses all three stages of automation by enabling users to curate and prioritise data upfront, automate only when relevant, and simplify actions taken.

It can be used to complement other playbook capabilities through ThreatQuotients ecosystem partners or users can define data-driven playbooks within the ThreatQ platform, the company states.

To improve the platform smarts, it will also capture what has been learned to improve data analytics, which in turn improves the initiation stage of automation.

Use cases for ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator include but are not limited to automating the following: hunting key threats as new intelligence is learned and recording the results; deploying blocking and detection content to EDR and network devices; enriching threat intelligence that meets complex criteria including relationships; tasking a user to patch a high priority vulnerability that is being used in relevant campaigns.

ThreatQuotient VP of product management Leon Ward says, The security industry's approach to automation has overlooked the vastly different needs of detection and response use cases.

"The focus of ThreatQ TDR Orchestrator is data, not process. In detection and response, what is learned when performing an action is far more important than the action itself.

"ThreatQuotient has seized an opportunity to define and provide automation in a way that reduces complexity for security teams.
