  Lessons that founders must learn from the CloudPets breach

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 8:20pm CET par Tim Prendergast

  As a founder and innovator, you can't help but love the cloud. It's easy to use, it lets you get projects started quicker, and helps deploy them faster, too. But, as quickly as you can innovate and go to market with the cloud, you can also fail -- particularly if you don't pay attention to the small details and implement security from the get go. I can only imagine what happened to the team at CloudPets, who recently suffered a major breach. This breach now has CEOs questioning what would happen if they were in the same boat. I’m sure… [Continue Reading]

  Cyber security spending highest for financial institutions

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 8:03pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  Banks and other financial institutions spend three times the amount non-financial organizations are spending on cyber security, a new report by Kaspersky Lab has shown. According to the Financial Institutions Security Risks research from Kaspersky Lab and B2B International, cyber security is a high priority for financial institutions, as they're coming under increased pressure from the government, top management and customers. It was said that almost two thirds (64 percent) of all financial institutions will improve their IT security, regardless of the return on investment. Banks are mostly getting ready for the full takeover of mobile. More than four in ten… [Continue Reading]

  PhotoPageGen 5.1 takes the pain out of creating slick web photo albums

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 7:46pm CET par Nick Peers

  One of the simplest ways to share photos with others is through a web album. If you’re looking to avoid a third-party service, or would like to distribute your album locally, then take a look at the newly updated PhotoPageGen 5.1 from Brian Donahoe. PhotoPageGen takes a folder of photos and allows you to create an interactive web-based catalogue, complete with mapping tools, privacy functions and even YouTube video support. The program has come of age with version 5.1 -- despite the minor revision number, it adds a host of new features. You can now store up to 10 albums… [Continue Reading]

  Most employees use smartphones for private tasks during work hours

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 7:43pm CET par Sead Fadilpašić

  Smartphones, even personal ones, are no strangers to the workplace. With the increase in adoption of BYOD initiatives, more and more employees are using their smartphones for everyday job tasks. However, according to a new report by LaptopsDirect.co.uk, British workers are also using personal smartphones for private communication, during work hours, as well. Out of 2,012 UK adults polled, 98 percent of IT workers said they used their smartphone during working hours. More than three quarters (78 percent) regularly text, 59 percent talk, and 52 percent use apps like WhatsApp or Facebook. Nine percent have sent a Snapchat. The report… [Continue Reading]

  The buzzwords that will take 2017 by storm

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 6:58pm CET par Patrick Hubbard

  The technology industry is full of jargon and buzzwords, which, if you’re not in the club, can often feel like a foreign language. When it comes to communicating new technologies and processes to other parts of the business, IT professionals need to be careful when translating these buzzwords into human-speak if they want to avoid a confused, blank look. It’s this confusion that results in a data breach, shadow IT activity, or missing out on investment in new IT equipment. Whether it’s to educate yourself or others, we’ve de-coded the buzzwords. Now the next time someone asks you "what the… [Continue Reading]

  PSA: Time to leave Windows Vista behind -- extended support ends in April

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 6:11pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Windows Vista is probably the least-liked version of Windows that Microsoft has ever released, but, fact of the matter is, the 10 year old operating system has its fans, as it still runs on many PCs today. And that's a problem if you're part of the crowd, because next month it will stop receiving any kind of official support, leaving you exposed. Mainstream support for Windows Vista actually ended on April 10, 2012, but Microsoft has since continued to offer support options and updates as part of its extended support phase. That will come to an end in less than… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft Teams rolls out to Office 365 users around the world

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 5:25pm CET par Ian Barker

  As we reported last week, Microsoft is today launching its own business collaboration tool in an effort to fend off the challenge from Slack. Teams is now available to Office 365 users in 181 markets and 19 languages. Where Teams is likely to score over its competitors is in its close integration with other Office products and with Skype for Business. Microsoft Teams provides threaded, persistent chat to keep all users engaged. The company has added many new communication features since the preview version, including audio calling from mobile devices, plus video on Android, which is coming soon to iOS… [Continue Reading]

  Google Chrome's background tabs now use less power

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 5:06pm CET par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Chrome isn't the most energy efficient browser around, but Google has been working hard to make things better. The latest improvement focuses on background tabs, which are now said to use less power. The lower power consumption in background tabs is actually one of the main changes that are part of Chrome 57, which Google released earlier in March. The latest version of the popular browser also gained WebAssembly support and dropped the ability to disable plugins, to name a few. Google says that background tabs are responsible for a third of the power that Chrome uses, which explains why it… [Continue Reading]

  Canonical announces Ubuntu Linux 12.04 ESM (Extended Security Maintenance)

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 4:44pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  On April 25th, Ubuntu Linux 12.04 LTS will no longer be supported by Canonical. Why? That is the 5 year anniversary of the release, which is the amount of support time given to an LTS (Long Term Support) version of the Linux distribution. For many home users, this really doesn't matter, as they have probably already upgraded to a newer version. Unfortunately, some businesses do not upgrade as regularly. In fact, some organizations may not be ready to move on from Ubuntu 12.04. Tough luck? Not at all. Today, Canonical introduces Ubuntu Linux 12.04 ESM. This "Extended Security Maintenance" release is not free,… [Continue Reading]

  IT security pros expect a rise in Industrial Internet of Things attacks

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 4:29pm CET par Ian Barker

  The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is used in many businesses, including critical infrastructure sectors such as energy, utilities, government, healthcare and finance. No surprise then that it's a likely target for attack. A new survey from security and compliance specialist Tripwire of more than 400 IT security professionals shows that 96 percent expect to see an increase in security attacks on the IIoT in 2017. 51 percent say they don't feel prepared for security attacks that seek to abuse, exploit or maliciously use insecure IIoT devices. In addition 64 percent say they already recognize the need to protect against… [Continue Reading]

  mrViewer is a quirky but powerful media player

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 3:50pm CET par Mike Williams

  While most PC media players are identikit clones which bring nothing new to the playback, mrViewer is a rare exception. A program that has the courage to do things differently. Very differently… This starts less than impressively with an oddball interface. Menu bars, ribbons, standard toolbars? MrViewer doesn’t have any of the usual UI chrome, and leaves you looking at tiny buttons with such informative text as "F" and "W". Each interface element had a tooltip with more information, but hunting around didn’t help much -- we couldn’t even find a way to open a file. Fortunately, this wasn’t as… [Continue Reading]

  Happy Pi Day: Microsoft offering Pi-related savings on select PCs and Xbox One games

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 3:33pm CET par Wayne Williams

  It’s Pi Day -- March 14 or 3/14 --  and to celebrate, Microsoft is offering money off select PCs and Xbox One games both in-store and online. The deals being offered are all Pi-related, so the sale price, or discount, is some variation of Pi's opening digits -- 314. SEE ALSO: [Giveaway] Happy Pi Day!

  Traditional endpoint protection ineffective in fighting ransomware

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 2:56pm CET par Ian Barker

  Ransomware continues to be the most lucrative business model for cyber crime, and a new study indicates that existing endpoint protection methods may not be enough to guard against it. The survey from security awareness training organization KnowBe4 questioned more than 500 organizations about the current state of their ransomware protection, whether they were a victim of ransomware, the impact of a successful breach and their remediation tactics. It finds that 33 percent of respondents have experienced a ransomware attack in the past 12 months. More concerning is that 53 percent of organizations that had deployed multiple solutions against ransomware… [Continue Reading]

  [Giveaway] Happy Pi Day! Enter to win a Raspberry Pi 3 and Eleduino case

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 2:16pm CET par Brian Fagioli

  Happy Pi Day, dear BetaNews readers! What, you've never heard of the holiday? Well, it is a nerdy play on Pi, which is 3.14 (and so on). In other words, since Pi is 3.14, Pi Day is on March 14th, or 3/14. True, it only really makes sense in countries, such as the USA, that use MM/DD date formatting, but everyone around the globe can still celebrate. In recognition of Pi Day, we here at BetaNews are giving away a Raspberry Pi 3 and a really cool case from Eleduino. Get it? A Raspberry Pi for Pi Day? Yeah, we are… [Continue Reading]

  Business 2020: A clear and connected vision for the future

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 12:21pm CET par Tom Goodmanson

  According to Walker Information’s Customers 2020 Report, by the year 2020, customer experience will be the number one competitive differentiator for brands. With just three years to go, brands still have some work to do to get smarter about their customers, and to learn how to quickly keep pace with the numerous technology changes ahead. From smart technology, artificial intelligence and multi-channel customer communication, technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace. As devices, customers and companies become even more connected, prioritization is the key to customer experience success.

  The CIA, WikiLeaks and Spy vs Spy

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 12:13pm CET par Robert X. Cringely

  As pretty much anyone already knows, WikiLeaks has dropped a trove of about 8700 secret documents that purport to cover a range of CIA plans and technologies for snooping over the Internet -- everything from cracking encrypted communication products to turning Samsung smart TVs into listening devices against their owners. Two questions immediately arise: 1) are these documents legit (they appear to be), and; 2) WTF does it mean for people like us, who aren’t spies, public officials, or soldiers of fortune? This latter answer requires a longer explanation but suffice it to say this news is generally not good… [Continue Reading]

  Lessons learned from a ransomware infection

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 11:08am CET par Robert Gibbons

  Since October, Datto has been conducting testing designed to quickly detect ransomware in backup data sets. Here’s why: it has become a major threat to individuals and businesses over the past few years, and the cyber extortionists behind these attacks operate with increasing sophistication. SMBs can be particularly vulnerable to attacks and are more likely to pay a ransom to get their data back than large businesses. In many cases, these attacks are conducted by large criminal organizations using wide-reaching botnets to spread malware via phishing campaigns. Victims are tricked into downloading an e-mail attachment or clicking a link using some… [Continue Reading]

  Refreshed stable Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) 2 'Betsy' ISO images now available

  Publié: mars 14, 2017, 2:44am CET par Brian Fagioli

  Linux Mint is one of the most popular Linux-based desktop operating systems. With that said, did you know there are two versions of the OS? No, I am not talking about the multiple desktop environments, such as Cinnamon, MATE, and KDE. There are actually two entirely different operating systems that share the Mint name. The normal version of Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, while a lesser known version, LMDE, is based on Debian. Is it confusing? Absolutely. A waste of resources? Probably. But hey, that's the state of Linux on the desktop nowadays. Linux Mint Debian Edition 2 'Betsy'… [Continue Reading]
