  Most UK businesses feel vulnerable to cyber threats, despite increased security spending

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 11:12pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  According to Thales' new report almost two thirds (63 percent) of businesses in the UK increased their cyber security spending this year, which is a jump from last year's 54 percent. However, despite this, 43 percent were breached last year (Thales fails to mention the percentage difference compared to a year earlier, though). More than four fifths (84 percent) still feel vulnerable to threats, with 20 percent feeling "very" or "extremely" vulnerable. There are some strange conclusions in the report, too. For example, the majority of businesses are using traditional cyber security methods, like network and endpoint security solutions. On… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 11:07pm CEST par Mark Raby

  As Amazon runs out of ways to expand its mountain-sized market share in the online retail space, its attempts to grow its presence in the real world are continuing to materialize, with new plans being firmed up on both coasts of the United States. Today, it officially launched AmazonFresh Pickup, a physical location where customers can pick up groceries ordered online, in its corporate home town of Seattle.

  IoT data threats and other issues global companies face as GDPR nears

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 9:11pm CEST par Jean-Michel Franco

  While the E.U.’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) won’t take full effect until May 25 2018, multi-national companies do need to take thoughtful action now to be certain their E.U.-based operations will be fully compliant when the time comes. With WannaCry, the world’s largest ransomware attack fresh in their minds, most global businesses are hyper-focused on data security in formulating responses to GDPR. However, many are less well organized in their approach to the data privacy issues related to the new regulation. The lack of a well-formulated approach should give global companies pause though, particularly because the definition of data privacy under GDPR is… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 8:53pm CEST par Mark Raby

The third-place U.S. carrier emphasizes that this move is more than just being able to manage your texts wherever you are, or making a call in a pinch when your phone dies. It is instead a brand new method of how T-Mobile views the implementation of phone numbers forever moving forward. Digits also lets customers have multiple… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 8:35pm CEST par Mike Williams

  AppCheck Anti-Ransomware is a free-for-personal-use Windows application which aims to detect ransomware-type behavior and blocks any threat it finds.

  X-Doria releases Action Band for Apple Watch

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 7:25pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I really enjoy my Apple Watch, but understandably, not everyone shares my enthusiasm. Heck, my colleague Joe Wilcox felt enslaved by his! For fans of the smartwatch, however, it isn't just a device, but a fashion statement too. It can be fun to swap bands to match an outfit, for instance. I own a casual nylon band for everyday use, and a more professional-looking leather variant for special occasions. Today, popular case-manufacturer X-Doria releases a new band series for Apple Watch. Called "Action Band," it comes in three colors and can be had in both 38mm and 42mm sizes. "The stylish, dual… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft buys cybersecurity startup Hexadite

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 6:22pm CEST par Anthony Spadafora

  Microsoft is rumored to have acquired Israeli cybersecurity startup Hexadite in a deal worth around $100 million. The startup was founded in 2014 and its primary focus is identifying cyberattacks through the use of artificial intelligence (AI). By connecting a number of cybersecurity detection systems that are already in place, Hexadite then uses AI to analyze threats automatically as they present themselves. The company accepts alerts from a variety of sources including Syslog, email and APIs and this information allows it to aid cybersecurity teams manage and prioritize multiple potential threats. Last year, Hexadite was able to raise $8 million in its… [Continue Reading]

  83 percent of security staff waste time fixing other IT problems

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 5:13pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new survey of security professionals reveals that 83 percent say colleagues in other departments turn to them to fix personal computer problems. The study by security management company FireMon shows a further 80 percent say this is taking up more than an hour of their working week, which in a year could equate to more than $88,000. For organizations, eight percent of professionals surveyed helping colleagues out five hours a week or more could be costing over $400,000. Organizations are potentially paying qualified security professionals salaries upwards of $100,000 a year and seeing up to 12.5 percent of that… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 3:37pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  A year after announcing the original Mi Max, Xiaomi unveiled its successor, the Mi Max 2. The phablet comes with the same major selling points as before, namely a huge screen and a massive battery. The Mi Max 2 is a mid-range smartphone with a 6.44-inch display, which puts it closer to a small tablet than the average phablet, and a resolution of 1,080 by 1,920.

  Samsung says Galaxy S8 iris scanner hack is 'difficult' to pull off

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 2:37pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Biometric authentication may be more convenient than a PIN or password, but it is not as secure as you might be lead to believe. The iris scanner on the Galaxy S8 can be defeated with a photo and contact lens, despite Samsung's claims that it offers "airtight security" and provides "one of the safest ways to keep your phone locked and the contents private." If this has you worried, Samsung says that it is "difficult for the whole scenario to happen in reality," even though the hack "appears simple." The company believes that having the right tools in the first place can prove… [Continue Reading]

  Europe approves rules that would force Facebook and other social sites to tackle hate-speech

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 12:34pm CEST par Mark Wilson

  Facebook may be taking steps to tackle hate speech and other unsavory content but the European Union could soon force it to do more. Plans have been approved for rules that require online content providers such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter to "protect children and tackle hate speech better." Failure to comply with the rules could result in hefty fines being levied against offenders. There are still a number of hoops for the proposed regulations to pass through -- including the European Parliament -- before they become law, but it may not be long until social media sites are obliged… [Continue Reading]

  The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force on May 25th 2018, but a new survey by data protection company Varonis shows companies are struggling to meet the deadline and are pessimistic about its effects. The results from 500 IT decision makers in the UK, Germany, France and the US, reveal that 75 percent of organizations say they will struggle to be ready for the deadline. In addition 42 percent say that it's not a priority for their businesses, despite the threat of fines which could cost companies up to four percent of global turnover or €20 million… [Continue Reading]

  Samba vulnerability could lead to the next WannaCry

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 11:07am CEST par Mark Wilson

  A security vulnerability in the popular Samba networking utility could leave unpatched machines open to an attack similar to WannaCry. A single line of code is all that’s needed to exploit the vulnerability, but it is reliant on a number of prerequisites. The vulnerability has been assigned the ID CVE-2017-7494 and is described as "remote code execution from a writable share" which could allow "malicious clients [to] upload and cause the smbd server to execute a shared library from a writable share." Security researchers say that the flaw is very easy to exploit, and tens of thousands of machines have… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft will pay you $25 to use Groove

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 5:58am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Steaming music is all the rage nowadays, and there is certainly no shortage of services. Quite frankly, you really can't go wrong when selecting one, as many of them are great. With that said, for an optimal experience, Apple Music is probably best for iOS and macOS users, while Google Play Music and Spotify are great for Android and Linux desktop users. If you spend a lot of time on Windows 10, the Groove Music Pass service is an excellent choice, as is the associated Groove app. While Microsoft's service may not be the most popular, it provides great selection and… [Continue Reading]

  OpenStack services monitoring: Challenges and solutions

  Publié: mai 25, 2017, 1:15am CEST par Ronny Lehmann

  If you have previously worked with cloud platforms, you will be familiar with the distributed and decoupled nature of these systems. A decoupled distributed system relies on microservices to carry out specific tasks, each one exposing its own REST (Representational State Transfer) APIs. These microservices talk to each other through a lightweight messaging layer usually in the form of a message broker such as RabbitMQ or QPID. This is precisely how OpenStack works. Each major OpenStack component (Keystone, Glance, Cinder, Neutron, Nova, etc.) exposes a REST endpoint and the components and sub-components communicate via a message broker layer, such as… [Continue Reading]
