Ruskin Felix Consulting (RFC) partnered with MicroVision, a renowned technology company specializing in laser beam scanning (LBS) technology for augmented reality (AR) products, to provide strategic risk advisory services. The comprehensive report prepared by RFC encompassed a product analysis and financial assessment to identify potential risks and opportunities for the company.
RFC conducted an in-depth product analysis, highlighting MicroVision’s competitive advantage through its patented LiDar product. The superior technology and limited licenses granted for the use of their LBS technology in products set them apart from competitors. Their micro-display engines play a key role in enabling wide field-of-view, high-definition, and see-through user experiences in AR headsets. The strong intellectual property and strategic partnerships reinforce their position in the market.
The financial assessment revealed challenges for MicroVision, including a low promoter holding and significant financial issues. With only 0.93% promoter holding and a high burn rate, the company faced cash flow problems and an unsustainable operational situation.
RFC presented two possible event outcome scenarios based on the LRL Sensor test scheduled for April 2021. In Scenario 1, a successful test with positive news would significantly increase the probability of attracting funding, leading to a higher target price for MicroVision’s stock. In Scenario 2, even with some negative news, a successful test meeting the standards could still attract funding, albeit with a lower target price compared to Scenario 1. However, in Scenario 3, if the test is unsuccessful and does not meet the standards or deadlines, it would pose challenges for funding, leading to a considerably lower target price for the company’s stock.
By presenting these scenarios and probabilities, RFC enabled MicroVision to better assess potential risks and opportunities associated with the LRL Sensor test and funding prospects. The strategic risk advisory services provided valuable insights to guide MicroVision’s decision-making process and develop contingency plans to navigate market uncertainties effectively.

The likelihood of an organization incurring losses or being exposed due to a cyber-attack or data breach is referred to as cybersecurity risk. Cybersecurity risk includes the possibility of harm or loss related to technical infrastructure, technology usage and the reputation of the concerned company.
As the worldwide dependence on computers, networks, social media and data rises, firms are finding themselves increasingly exposed to cyber threats. Unprotected data often cause data breaches, a typical type of cyber-attack that has a substantial negative impact on businesses.
WHAT IS CYBERSECURITY?
Cybersecurity is a set of techniques aimed at safeguarding internet-connected systems like computers, servers, mobile devices, electronic systems, networks and data from malicious attacks. The term cybersecurity comprises two parts i.e., ‘cyber’ refers to technology including systems, networks, programs and data while ‘security’ pertains to the protection of systems, networks applications and information. It is also termed electronic information security or information technology security.
IMPORTANCE OF CYBERSECURITY
Financial institutions, healthcare establishments, governments and manufacturing industries have made Internet-connected devices an integral part of their operations. These organizations possess delicate information i.e., intellectual property, personal data and financial records that can result in undesirable consequences if left exposed or accessed without authorization.
This situation provides a conducive environment for intruders and other malicious actors who aim to infiltrate such systems for motives ranging from financial gain to extortion, social or political goals or even vandalism.
BENEFITS OF CYBERSECURITY
Securing data and network
Preventing unauthorized access
Swift recovery post-breach
Ensuring the security of end-users and endpoint devices
Complying with regulatory requirements
Ensuring continuity of operations
Enhancing the company’s reputation, trust, and credibility among developers, partners, consumers, stakeholders, and employees.
TYPES OF CYBERSECURITY THREATS
Phishing
Phishing is a form of cybercrime where the sender appears to be from credible sources such as financial institutions and online marketplaces like PayPal, eBay, friends or colleagues. The targets are approached via email, phone or text message with links that trick them into clicking on suspicious websites that ask for highly confidential data like banking information, credit card details, social security numbers and login credentials. These links may also install malware allowing remote access by hackers.
Malware
Malware threat is inclusive of spyware, ransomware, worms and viruses. It can install malicious software, obstruct access to computer resources, cause system failure or even covertly transmit confidential data from your storage systems.
Man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack
A Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack is when hackers insert themselves into a two-party online transaction. By doing so, they can easily filter and extract necessary data. MITM attacks happen frequently on unprotected public Wi-Fi networks.
SQL Injection
SQL injection is a prevalent cyber-attack where malicious SQL scripts are executed by cyber criminals to manipulate the backend database and access confidential information. Post successful infiltration cyber attackers can view, change and even delete sensitive data including private customer details, user lists and crucial company resources stored in the SQL database.
Distributed Denial of service DDoS
A distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack is a malicious activity in which cyber criminals disrupt the usual traffic of targeted servers, services or networks by flooding them with several IP addresses fulfilling legitimate requests. Such attacks can make the system unusable by overloading servers significantly slowing down their performance or temporarily taking them offline and preventing organizations from executing essential functions.
Adware
Adware is a type of malware often referred to as advertisement-supported software. This virus is classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) since it installs without user consent and generates unsolicited online ads automatically.
Domain name system (DNS) attack
DNS attack refers to a form of cyber-attack where attackers leverage shortcomings within the Domain Name System with the goal to redirect users from legitimate websites to malevolent sites (DNS hijacking). This type of attack enables cyber criminals to steal confidential information from compromised computers. Since DNS infrastructure is an integral component of internet architecture this threat poses a severe cybersecurity risk.
CIA TRIAD
The foundation of security for any organization relies on three fundamental principles i.e., Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability also known as CIA, it has constantly served as an industry-standard in computer security since the inception of the first mainframes.
Confidentiality: Confidentiality principles assert that sensitive information and operations can only be accessed by authorized parties who have been granted permission. E.g., trade secrets, military secrets or personal data.
Integrity: Integrity principles assert that only authorized people and tools can modify, add or remove crucial information and functions. Altering of the data by any unauthorized person can lead to a violation of integrity. Incorrect data entered into the database by a user will affect its accuracy and completeness.
Availability: The fundamental assertion of availability principles is that the services, functions and data must be accessible as per pre-determined parameters based on various service levels for immediate use.
CYBERSECURITY TOOLS
Penetration testing
Antivirus software
Firewalls
Staff training
Managed Detection and Response Service (MDR)
Public Key Infrastructure Service (PKI)

SEO pulls potential customers to your website like a magnet. Symbolically, it’s the North Star that guides you towards your business goals. It may seem indirect, but sometimes it’s the quickest route to success. Prioritizing SEO practices can foreshadow your organization’s triumph.
SEO is like a snowball that gains momentum as it rolls down the hill. Personifying your brand, SEO breathes life into your organization, making it more than just a website. It’s not overstating to say that SEO can be a game-changer for your organization.

Customer reviews can have a significant impact on your business’s online reputation and search rankings.
Encourage your customers to leave reviews on your Google My Business listing and other online directories.
Responding to both positive and negative reviews can show potential customers that you value their feedback and are committed to providing excellent customer service.
Monitor your online reputation
Monitoring your online reputation involves regularly checking your business’s online reviews, social media mentions, and search engine results.
This can help you identify any negative comments or reviews and take steps to address them before they damage your business’s reputation.
Consider local search and advertising options
While SEO is an essential strategy for local businesses, it can take time to see results. Consider using local advertising options, such as Google Ads or Facebook Ads, to reach your target audience and promote your products or services.
Leverage social media
Social media is a powerful tool for local businesses looking to boost their SEO. You can use platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to reach out to potential customers and promote your business.

Inconsistencies can confuse search engines and make it difficult for them to display accurate information to potential customers. Make sure that your business name, address, phone number, and website URL are consistent across all platforms.

In the modern era of technology, a website is crucial for the success of any business or organization. Nonetheless, it’s not sufficient to simply have a website; it’s important to ensure that it’s discoverable by potential clients or customers. One of the most effective methods to accomplish this is through search engine optimization (SEO) and tricks.
SEO is the process of refining your website to improve its ranking on search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo which improves the website’s visibility, drive more traffic, and elevate your online presence. This article will highlight some effective SEO tricks that can help elevate your website’s ranking.
Following are the tricks to optimize your content to rank higher on top search engines:
ANALYZE SEARCH INTENT
The objective behind a user’s search inquiry is known as search intent. Grasping the search intent is crucial to creating content that is relevant and valuable to your intended audience. Generating content that fulfills your audience’s search intent raises the probability of your website securing a higher ranking in the search engine results pages (SERPs).
To analyze search intent, start by understanding the different types of search intent
Informational intent: Informational intent is a type of search intent wherein a user is looking for information on a specific topic, the user wants to learn something, and they are not necessarily looking to make a purchase.
Navigational intent: In this type of search intent the user already knows the website they want to visit, and they use a search engine to find it quickly.
Transactional intent: This type of search intent occurs when a user is prepared to purchase a product or service and is seeking a specific item and is ready to make a purchase.
Commercial intent: This type of search intent arises when a user searches or conducts research on a product or service with the intention of purchasing it soon. The user is seeking information on a particular product or service to help them make an informed buying decision.
Once you comprehend the various types of search intent, you can create content that caters to the requirements of your intended audience. For instance, if you aim to target users with informational intent, you can devise blog posts or articles that offer valuable information on a specific subject. If you aim to target users with transactional intent, you can create product pages or landing pages that simplify the purchasing process for users.
RECOGNIZE THE RIGHT KEYWORDS
One of the best SEO tricks to identify appropriate keywords is to utilize a keyword research tool such as Google’s Keyword Planner, Ahrefs or SEMrush. These tools can assist you in recognizing the keywords that your intended audience is looking for and how frequently they are being searched on popular search engines.
When selecting keywords, you should consider their relevance, search volume, and competition. Relevance refers to how closely the keyword relates to your website and the content you offer. Search volume refers to how many people search for that keyword in each period. Finally, competition refers to how many other websites are targeting the same keyword.
After identifying keywords that are relevant to your website, have a high search volume, and low competition, you can optimize your website’s content using those keywords. However, it’s crucial to employ keywords in a manner that doesn’t appear unnatural or spammy. This necessitates integrating keywords organically into your content, incorporating them into your headlines, and optimizing your meta tags and descriptions.
To increase website traffic and retain visitors, it is important to produce quality content that is both relevant and engaging. By offering fresh and contextual content, you can entice more visitors and prolong their stay on your website.
To create content that resonates with your audience, start by researching the topics they prefer. Additionally, examine data on what your users are searching for online and craft content that addresses their inquiries and concerns. By doing so, you can create content that attracts and retains more visitors to your site.
Therefore, it is vital to ensure that the content you produce aids people in finding solutions to their queries and navigating the solutions they are searching for easily. Generating content that comprehensively addresses the questions of your intended audience will give you a lift in search results rankings and enable you to outdo your rivals.
FOCUS ON UX
User experience (UX) is all about how visitors interact with your website. It encompasses everything from the design and layout of your site to the ease of navigation and the quality of your content. In recent years, Google has placed a greater emphasis on UX as a ranking factor.
Core Web Vitals are page experience signals that measure the UX for your website based on 3 main things:
Stability
Website’s loading speed
Interactiveness and responsiveness
OPTIMIZE PAGE TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS FOR SEARCH ENGINES
To scale up on the search engine rankings, it is crucial to optimize your page title and description according to the targeted keywords and intent. Your page title and description provide a concise summary of your page to search engines and a brief overview of page content to your audience.
As they are the first things users encounter, they should be precisely worded to catch the attention of visitors. Keep your page title to 60 to 70 characters and your description around 160 to 170 characters. This permits you to optimize the text for all devices, whether desktop or mobile.
IMPROVE YOUR INTERNAL LINKING STRATEGY
An effective internal linking strategy can greatly enhance your website’s ranking. It can aid in connecting various pages within your site. By following the links, Google can ascertain the connection between different pages on your site and determine the most crucial pages to rank. Furthermore, apart from understanding the relationship between various pages and their content, Google distributes the link value among all the links on a web page.
Typically, a website’s homepage has the highest value as it often has the most backlinks. Since links pass on their value, a post with more links holds greater value. Additionally, Google considers any page with numerous valuable links to be significant; thus, incorporating internal links raises the likelihood of ranking higher in search engine results pages (SERPs).
OPTIMIZE IMAGES FOR SEARCH ENGINE
Images are often overlooked when building web pages but optimizing them can boost traffic through image search.
To achieve this, there are some essential best practices to follow:
Assign descriptive titles to images using relevant keywords.
Provide alt text descriptions for images.
Avoid cluttered images.
Use high-quality images but be careful with image size to optimize page loading speed
Optimizing your images not only enhances the interactivity of your message but also helps to increase organic traction.
DRIVE TRAFFIC WITH LONG-TAIL KEYWORDS
Long-tail keywords can help generate decent traffic for highly competitive topics. These keywords consist of specific and less commonly used terms, typically with three or more words. Since they are less frequently searched, they are relatively easier to rank for compared to target keywords.
For e.g., Rather than targeting the highly competitive term “cat food,” consider focusing on a less commonly searched alternative such as “organic cat food“. By using this long-tail keyword which includes your seed keyword (“cat food”), you have the potential to rank for both and attract additional organic traffic.
REDUCE YOUR PAGE LOADING SPEED
User experience is a vital factor in search engine results pages (SERPs), and Google, with the highest market share in the search industry, takes it seriously. If your website takes too long to load or frequently fails to load, it can result in a poor user experience. Visitors expect websites to load within three seconds on average.
Several issues can impact your website’s load time, including code density, large image files, JavaScript problems, caching issues, unnecessary plugins, excessive redirects, and mediocre hosting, among others. Identifying the specific problems that affect your website’s load time and fixing them can improve user experience and ensure optimal performance.
CREATE CLEAN, FOCUSED, AND OPTIMIZED URLS
The structure of your URLs is an essential aspect of SEO. A well-constructed URL helps users navigate information and provides search engines with valuable information about the page’s content.
To create an effective URL, it’s essential to keep it concise, logically structured, and optimized with relevant keywords. This approach can help improve your search engine rankings compared to longer, disorganized URLs.
OPTIMIZE YOUR SITE FOR MOBILE DEVICES
The most effective way to test if your website is mobile-friendly is to use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test. Simply enter your website URL and click “Test URL”. Additionally, you can analyze individual web pages to assess their mobile friendliness.
After testing your website for mobile friendliness, the next step is to optimize it for an enhanced mobile experience. Website loading speed is critical for a positive user experience on mobile devices. As with desktop sites, mobile sites should load quickly.

Keyword Research is identifying and analyzing specific keywords and phrases that people tend to use while searching for information, products, or services on various search engines.

These SEO blunders can adversely affect a website’s rankings, resulting in bad reviews and reduced traffic and revenue. By comprehending these pitfalls and taking steps to avoid them, businesses can enhance their SEO tactics and attain better outcomes.
KEYWORD STUFFING
Keyword stuffing is a black hat SEO mistake that involves overusing keywords in a website’s content, meta tags, and URLs to manipulate search engine rankings. While it may have worked in the past, search engines like Google now penalize websites that engage in keyword stuffing, resulting in a negative impact on SEO.
Keyword stuffing can negatively affect a website’s SEO in various ways. Firstly, it may lead to penalties from search engines, which can cause the website to be excluded from search engine results pages (SERPs) entirely. Secondly, it may hamper the user experience by making the content challenging to read and comprehend. This can result in a higher bounce rate and decreased engagement, which can further harm SEO. Lastly, it may damage the website’s reputation and credibility, causing a decline in traffic and revenue.
Things to keep in mind to avoid keyword stuffing are as follows:
Use Keywords Naturally
Businesses should concentrate on incorporating keywords seamlessly into their content. While it’s important to include keywords in the title, headings, and body of the content, they should not be overused or forced. The content should flow naturally and offer readers something of value.
Use Synonyms and Variations
Companies can use synonyms and variations of the keyword to create more natural-sounding content that enhances the user experience which can assist the website in ranking for related keywords and phrases.
Businesses should prioritize producing valuable and captivating content that appeals to their intended audience. The content must be written for humans, not search engines. By delivering valuable content to readers, it’s more probable that the content will be shared and linked to resulting in better SEO and avoid any mistakes.
Use Long-tail Keywords
Companies can opt for long-tail keywords which are more precise and targeted phrases that have less competition and are simpler to rank for. By leveraging long-tail keywords businesses can draw more focused traffic and customers to their website and enhance their SEO.
DUPLICATE CONTENT

If a website has duplicate content, it may be perceived as less relevant and valuable, leading to a lower search engine ranking. Moreover, it can undermine the user experience by providing limited value to the reader, resulting in a higher bounce rate and reduced engagement, which can worsen SEO problems.
Things to keep in mind to avoid duplicate content are as follows:
Create Unique Content
Rather than duplicating existing content businesses should concentrate on developing content that offers benefits to their desired audience and is not found elsewhere. By generating distinctive content and avoiding simple mistakes, businesses can position themselves as experts and enhance their search engine optimization (SEO) rankings and search visibility.
Use Canonical Tags
If a website has comparable or indistinguishable content on various pages, businesses can make use of canonical tags to specify which page contains the primary source of the content. This method can assist search engines in comprehending which page to emphasize in search engine rankings, thereby avoid penalizing the website for duplicate content.
Use 301 Redirects

Avoid Content Scraping

Furthermore, a responsive design is necessary for mobile-first indexing.
Optimize for Speed
Optimizing a website for speed is crucial since mobile devices usually have slower internet speeds compared to desktop devices. To accomplish this, compressing images, reducing HTTP requests, and utilizing a content delivery network (CDN) can be beneficial.
Simplify Navigation

BROKEN LINKS AND REDIRECTS
Broken links are links on a website that direct to web address or pages that no longer exist or have been deleted. Redirects, however, allow users to move from one URL to another URL. Although both concerns are typical, they can considerably influence a website’s SEO performance.
Things to keep in mind to avoid broken links and redirects are as follows:
Regularly check for broken links
Regularly monitoring a website for broken links is crucial. To identify broken links on your website you can use free online tools like Broken Link Checker or Google Search Console.

Monitor bounce rates

Analyze user behavior
User behavior analysis can aid in comprehending how users engage with your website, allowing you to enhance the user experience. By examining data such as time spent on each page and click-through rates, you can recognize areas for improvement.
Use A/B testing

CONCLUSION
