  The future of marketing -- from AI to voice control Apps

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 8:02pm CET par Clint Poole

  The marketing industry has experienced a surge of new technologies in the past few years. While this creates the potential for complete transformation, the marketing landscape over the past year has remained fairly steady. As 2017 begins, the question remains whether this will be the year that technology is fully embraced by the marketing community. Will it be a transitional year with common practices being adapted to reflect new technology trends or will it witness major developments that threaten to take marketers by surprise? In a world where customers are constantly demanding more, customer experience (CX) has become difficult and… [Continue Reading]

  The next generation of cyber attacks -- PDoS, TDoS, and others

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 7:55pm CET par Pascal Geenens

  2016 was a landmark year in cyber security. The cyber landscape was rocked as Internet of Things (IoT) threats became a reality and unleashed the first 1TB DDoS attacks -- the largest in history. Security experts had long warned of the potential of IoT attacks, and a number of other predictions also came true; Advanced Persistent Denial of Service (APDoS) attacks became standard, ransom attacks continued to grow and evolve and data protection agreements dominated privacy debates. So what’s coming in 2017? Well, for years there have been theories about how a cyber attack could cripple society in some way.… [Continue Reading]

  Cortana Suggested Reminders now available for Windows 10 -- iOS and Android soon

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 6:50pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Voice assistants are changing the way consumers interact with their computers and devices. Services like Alexa and Siri are enabling people to use voice to ask questions and control home components, such as thermostats and lights. It really is an exceptional thing. Microsoft's Cortana is also a great voice assistant, and since "she" is included in Windows 10, countless consumers already have access. Today, Microsoft announces that it is improving Cortana with a new feature called "Suggested Reminders". The assistant will scan your emails for dates and appointments, and then suggest reminders -- for times when maybe you forgot to do so… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 5:09pm CET par Ian Barker

  A new study based on two years of work by IANS Research looks at the work of chief information security officers (CISOs) and their role in enterprises. The report identifies concrete actions CISOs should consider taking to progress their programs from where they are today to the next level. Among the findings of the CISO Impact report are that high-performing CISOs know the value of engaging to drive change. In the data three out of four of high performers embrace this approach, compared to one in 20 of the low performers. All the highest performers have followed the route of… [Continue Reading]

  Sony announces new $249 'Call of Duty' and 'Uncharted' PlayStation 4 console bundles

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 3:49pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  As the news of the world gets crazier and crazier, people are increasingly needing distractions to cope. While TV, movies, and music are obvious choices, video games should not be forgotten. These games allow the player to escape into an alternate reality for a while, and can be more immersive than other media. If you do not own a game console, you really can't go wrong with the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One -- both are powerful and have respectable game libraries. Today, however, Sony makes its offering very attractive. The company announces three new console bundles for a mere $249.… [Continue Reading]

  Next generation email security addresses advanced threats

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 3:28pm CET par Ian Barker

  Despite other developments in malware, email remains a favourite route for attackers because it's easy for people to fall victim to phishing and other threats. Network security company SonicWall is launching a new next-generation email security platform to help guard against ransomware, zero-day and advanced threats. SonicWall Email Security 9.0 integrates with the Capture Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) service and uses cloud-based sandboxing technology to detect advanced threats by scanning a range of email attachment types. It then analyzes them in a multi-engine sandbox, blocking them until reviewed by an administrator, and rapidly deploying remediation signatures. The solution incorporates anti-spam,… [Continue Reading]

  Check your PC for malicious shortcuts with Shortcut Scanner

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 3:26pm CET par Mike Williams

  Shortcut Scanner is a free tool which scans your PC for potentially malicious shortcuts. The program looks for multiple indicators. Does the shortcut point to PowerShell, cmd.exe or some other command prompt? Does it include dangerous keywords, have unusually long commands, is larger than 4KB in size? Any suspect shortcuts are organized into three groups: "Dangerous" (possible virus), "Require attention" (probably just shortcuts with arguments) and "Broken" (the target doesn’t exist). Clicking any of the listed shortcuts displays its command, and offers a hex view of the .LNK file for experts to explore further. (Not a bad idea, but it… [Continue Reading]

  Invisible malware targets financial information

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 12:01pm CET par Ian Barker

  Researchers at Kaspersky Lab have uncovered a series of targeted attacks that use legitimate software to avoid detection. The attacks employ widely available penetration-testing and administration tools as well as the PowerShell framework for task automation in Windows. They drop no malware files onto the hard drive, but hide in the memory. This combined approach helps to avoid being detected by whitelisting technologies, and leaves forensic investigators with almost no artifacts or malware samples to work with. The attackers stay around just long enough to gather information before their traces are wiped from the system on the first reboot. The… [Continue Reading]

  Forget prayers, thoughts and sad faces; Facebook Community Help lets you actually help those in crisis 

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 11:39am CET par Mark Wilson

  When there is an emergency somewhere in the world -- be it a natural disaster, terrorist attack or humanitarian crisis -- it has become normal to see Facebook's Safety Check feature kick in. As well as letting those affected by the crisis in question let their loved ones know that they are OK, Safety Check activations also result in a flood of thoughts, prayers and sad-faced emoji being sent by Facebookers. But what about sending actual help? Sending thoughts and prayers is something of an empty gesture, whereas offering shelter, food and other supplies could actually help to save lives. Facebook has now… [Continue Reading]

  Wikipedia bans use of Daily Mail as a source because it is 'unreliable' 

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 11:18am CET par Mark Wilson

  In a move that will surprise few people familiar with the newspaper, Wikipedia has chosen to ban the use of the British Daily Mail as a source. Editors for the site reached the conclusion that the paper "is generally unreliable, and its use as a reference is to be generally prohibited". While this does not constitute an outright ban -- something which would probably not go down well with the Wikipedia community -- editors are strongly encouraged to find an alternative source wherever possible. The decision comes after a vote in which editors debated the Daily Mail's "reputation for poor fact checking,… [Continue Reading]

  Windows 10 Cloud already hacked to run Win32 programs

  Publié: février 9, 2017, 9:33am CET par Wayne Williams

  Windows 10 Cloud, Microsoft's new (and likely free) operating system hasn't been officially announced yet, but the first build of it leaked over the weekend, giving people a chance to see what the successor to RT looks like. In this early version, the answer is mostly just like Windows 10, albeit with one major difference -- Windows 10 Cloud can only run apps from the Windows Store, not Win32 programs. Or at least that used to be the case. SEE ALSO: First build of Microsoft's unannounced Windows 10 Cloud leaks online When you try to run a program in Windows… [Continue Reading]
