  Many senior executives do not know GDPR is coming

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 11:12pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  More than four fifths (84 percent) of small business owners in the UK, and almost half (43 percent) of senior executives in large companies have no idea what GDPR is and that it’s coming. That's according to Shred-it’s Security Tracker research, which also found that roughly one in seven (14 percent) of small business owners, and 31 percent of senior executives know what the fines of not complying with the GDPR are. This is despite the fact that 95 percent of senior executives and 87 percent of small business owners claim to have some understanding of their industry’s legal requirements.… [Continue Reading]

  Does the integration of Microsoft Dynamics 365 and LinkedIn lay the groundwork for a CRM software war?

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 8:56pm CEST par Chris Thompson

  When Microsoft purchased LinkedIn back in December 2016, many predicted the eventual integration of Dynamics with the world’s primary professional social network. As well as being a valuable business networking tool, LinkedIn is just as useful for cold sales leads and recruitment prospects as it is for connecting people. With Dynamics 365 designed to combine the company’s CRM and ERP services into a single cloud-based platform, the prospect of having access to nearly 500 million LinkedIn users could be more than enough to sway a new customer towards Microsoft. Dynamics 365 now has a clear advantage, but what impact will… [Continue Reading]

  The rise of the connected car

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 8:39pm CEST par Andreas Kohn

  Everyone thinks autonomous, self-driving cars are the next big opportunity in the automobile industry -- but it is the connected car that will drive the next major transformation in car owners’ driving experience. Previously, low-bandwidth cellular network connectivity and immature, cobbled-together proprietary technologies prevented automobile manufacturers from fully realizing the potential of the connected car. However, with the arrival of standards-based, broadband-enabled turnkey connected car platforms, automobile manufacturers can finally make cars an integral part of the Internet of Things (IoT) and offer drivers mobility, preventive maintenance, infotainment and other connected car services that deliver a significantly better driving experience.… [Continue Reading]

  IT pros are feeling stressed at work

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 8:37pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  The road to becoming an IT professional is often thought to be a lifelong process, however, new research claims that this is not the case. A new report from Spiceworks, entitled "A Portrait of IT Workers," says 41 pe cent of IT pros in the UK consider themselves "accidental" and that they ended up in their career via a "non-traditional" route. The report, which covers areas including the career plans and education levels of IT professionals, found that a third (33 percent) of the UK’s IT job force don’t have a college or a university degree. They are also more pessimistic… [Continue Reading]

  Shocking: Families will spend more than a third of summer staring at screens like zombies

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 7:20pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Summertime is almost here, meaning families will begin spending more time outdoors enjoying nature, right? Not necessarily. In modern times, devices seem to rule our attention. Things like computer monitors, televisions, smartphones, and tablets keep our eyes focused on screens like zombies. To highlight just how bad things have gotten, a new survey reveals that families will spend more than a third of the 2017 summer season with their eyes glued to some sort of screen. To make matters worse, parents say that while they would prefer to do more activities away from devices, outings are far too expensive. A typical… [Continue Reading]

  elementary OS Loki 0.4.1 Linux distro now available for download

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 6:48pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Despite the death of Unity, there is still no shortage of desktop environments for Ubuntu. In fact, there are some Linux-based operating systems that exist mostly to provide an arguably better environment and experience. Two good examples of this are Linux Mint and elementary OS. While these distros are more than just Ubuntu with an alternative DE, the UI is largely the star of the show. While Mint caters to folks that have trouble moving beyond the interfaces of yesteryear, elementary instead focuses on a forward-looking experience. Today, elementary OS Loki -- the latest version of the operating system -- reaches a new… [Continue Reading]

  OnePlus 5's camera will get a boost from DxO

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 4:36pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  If it's one thing that consumers expect in a flagship smartphone, it's a great camera. Getting quality photos and videos is one of the main reasons why so many folks spend their hard earned cash on devices like the HTC U11, Samsung Galaxy S8, Apple iPhone 7 or Google Pixel -- and why those devices cost as much as they do. OnePlus is well aware of this, so it has teamed up with DxO to "enhance [the] photography experience" with the upcoming OnePlus 5. This is one of the few things that the company has revealed about the next flagship killer, aside… [Continue Reading]

  Many users rely on VPNs to circumvent geoblocks

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 4:34pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  A new report has revealed that VPN usage in the UK has increased with almost one in six people now using a VPN alongside their internet connection. According to YouGov's "Incognito Individual" report, 16 percent of British adults have used either a VPN or proxy server. This up-tick in users trying a VPN was often the direct result of trying access region-locked content or websites. Of those surveyed, 48 percent of respondents admitted to using a VPN or a proxy to access content they would otherwise be unable to view. VPNs are often used by security conscious individuals who are concerned… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft Planner now available for iPhone

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 3:25pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Office 365 officially received a project management tool, called Planner, in June 2016, but it is not until today that Microsoft introduces an accompanying mobile app. And the platform of choice for the first Microsoft Planner app is iOS. When Microsoft publicly launched Planner, the software giant said that there will be apps available for Windows and Android devices too, but there is no announcement regarding the support for the other two platforms. Hopefully, that will happen at some point in the near future. Android is a given, considering its reach, and so should Windows 10 Mobile be, since Microsoft still wants… [Continue Reading]

  New free plugin filters bot data from Google Analytics

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 3:21pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Google's own bot filtering catches only a small percentage of the bot traffic that hits most sites, leading to traffic analysis data being skewed. Bot detection specialist Distil Networks is launching a free tool designed to remove the bad data created by bots. Bots can be used by competitors, hackers and fraudsters and are the key culprits behind web scraping, brute force attacks, competitive data mining, online fraud, account hijacking, data theft, spam, digital ad fraud and downtime. "Bot activity is so prevalent today, that if you run a website of any shape or size, there is a good chance… [Continue Reading]

  Google renames Android Device Manager to Find My Device

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 2:57pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Google has showcased a number of major changes coming to Android at its I/O event yesterday, like Google Play Protect. It is designed to keep your smartphone safe using app usage analysis and machine learning, and includes a feature that many Android users are already familiar with. Part of Google Play Protect is Find My Device, which has been previously known as Android Device Manager. Google decided to change the name, and add new functionality in the process, likely because it is more appropriate, considering what it is mainly used for -- which is to locate Android devices and remotely wipe… [Continue Reading]

  European political parties left open to email-based cyber attacks

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 12:58pm CEST par Ian Barker

  None of the political parties in the UK, Germany and Norway, all of whom have upcoming elections, have email authentication or protection against spear phishing in place, according to new research. The study by secure email company Agari shows that while eight percent have published an email authentication policy, they've left the door wide open by setting their policy to 'none', which will not stop malicious emails from reaching intended victims. This lack of security is leaving voters, supporters and the parties themselves wide open to targeted email attacks using identity deception and social engineering methods. As demonstrated in the… [Continue Reading]

  Are your devices listening to you?

  Publié: mai 18, 2017, 12:17pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Increasingly we're surrounded by devices that have microphones. Not just our computers and smartphones, but smart home devices like Alexa and Echo and even our TVs. The problem is these mics are not just accepting commands, they're listening to what's going on in the background too. Panda Security has put together an infographic that looks at what devices might be listening in to our conversations and what steps we can take to protect ourselves. Among its findings are that 88 percent of Americans say it's important that they not have someone watch or listen to them without their permission, and… [Continue Reading]
