  Three ways to generate profit with the data you already have

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 10:38pm CEST par Andrew Wells and Kathy Chiang

  Build it and they will come. That is the view many organizations maintain about their data lakes and data warehouses. Companies are rapidly investing in systems and processes to retain business data that they know is valuable but have no clue what to do with it. Even the government collects mass amounts of data without specific plans for using the information at the time of collection. This trend only accelerates as the amount of data being produced continues to escalate. Today, it is estimated that human knowledge is doubling every 12 to 13 months and IBM is estimating that with… [Continue Reading]

  Have a business challenge? It's really a big data problem in disguise

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 9:21pm CEST par Shant Hovsepian

  Throughout history, businesses have relied on certain measures to project their success -- sales growth, customer retention, churn rate, and so on. However, those are all lagging indicators for modern businesses that want to stay ahead of the competition; all these potential business challenges must fall under a single new metric: time to insight. Similarly, think about what happened with high-frequency trading, where suddenly, years of research and algorithms didn’t matter if your competition could act on information orders of magnitude faster than you -- it was like having a crystal ball to the future! The advent of big data… [Continue Reading]

  Three ways to protect your brand from fake news and other frauds

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 7:07pm CEST par Robert Glazer

  Fake news is not new. It has been around since the invention of print some 500 years ago. It was used to sensationalize and inflame passions and prejudices, a trend that’s carried over into our current culture. Today, fake news is increasingly being combined with social media to peddle products with false claims and endorsements. MSNBC columnist, Herb Weisbaum, describes this phenomenon perfectly: "Some sleazy companies are using a deceptive marketing technique to trick people into buying wrinkle creams and diet pills. They've created fake news websites with fake celebrity stories and fake product endorsements." In one of his pieces,… [Continue Reading]

  FBI issues a warning to parents about the privacy and safety of internet-connected smart toys

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 5:44pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  The FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has issued a PSA warning about the potential dangers of smart toys. The bureau encourages parents to consider cyber security before bringing internet-connect toys into the home because they could risk the privacy and safety of children. The announcement warns of the potential for personal information to be gathered through such toys. The presence of sensors, microphones, cameras, data storage components, speech recognition and GPS, coupled with cloud storage of data, is cited as cause for concern, and parents are urged to check privacy agreements. The IC3 warns: "Consumers should examine toy company… [Continue Reading]

  Netrunner Rolling Arch/Manjaro-based KDE Plasma Linux distro gets refreshed ISO

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 5:16pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  While GNOME is my favorite desktop environment, I don't hate KDE. Actually, I rather love Plasma when it is done right. Case in point, I absolutely adore Netrunner -- the best KDE-focused Linux-based operating system. Technically, there are two versions of the OS -- the "regular" variant based on Debian and a rolling release based on Arch/Manjaro. Today, after more than a year, Netrunner Rolling gets a refreshed ISO. This time, we have Netrunner Rolling 2017.07. Some highlights include SMPlayer becoming the default music and video handler, while SUSE Imagewriter is replaced by the KDE Neon variant. "Yes, it's back: An up-to-date Netrunner Rolling ISO… [Continue Reading]

  How large would the financial losses get in case of a global cyber attack?

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 5:15pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  A global cyber-attack could be as expensive as a major natural disaster, a new report has claimed. Analysis by Lloyd’s of London compared the effects of a hypothetical global cyber-attack to the super storm known as Hurricane Sandy that hit the US coast in 2012, in terms of the financial impact. A major attack could result in financial losses of up to $53 billion, close to the total cost of the 2012 storm. That's according to noted banking group Lloyd’s of London, which teamed up with risk-modeling firm Cyence to look at several potential cyber-attack disaster scenarios. Apparently, insurers are… [Continue Reading]

  Google Glass Enterprise Edition is here

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 4:29pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Google Glass was long expected to make a comeback, but it is not until today that the search giant officially announces a new version of the controversial headset. It's called Enterprise Edition and, just like its name suggests, it is designed with business users in mind. We heard about the Enterprise Edition back in July 2015, half a year after Google discontinued the commercially-available Explorer Edition, and since that time the search giant says that it has tested the headset as part of a limited program open to select businesses. Glass Enterprise Edition is optimized for enterprise use, so it works… [Continue Reading]

  iOS and its effect on enterprise security

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 4:12pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Over the past decade, iOS devices have found their way into many businesses. According to a new report this has led to an increase in the number of attacks and incidences of malware on the platform. Mobile threat defense company Skycure analyzed the security impact of iOS on the enterprise over the past ten years and found that the percentage of enterprise iOS devices that have malicious apps installed today has more than tripled since the third quarter of 2016. In comparison, the rate of Android malware infections has stayed relatively flat. While Apple does an effective job of keeping… [Continue Reading]

  OnePlus 5 may reboot when you call 911

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 3:41pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  When we talk about bugs in smartphone software we typically mention issues that may be annoying, but not life-threatening. This one is an exception. Some OnePlus 5 users are reporting that they are unable to get in touch with emergency operators as, when they dial 911, their smartphone automatically reboots. OnePlus says that it is investigating the issue, and is advising OnePlus 5 users who encounter this bug to contact it. There is no official answer as to what causes this bug, apparently, the issue is connected to the GPS functionality of the OnePlus 5. When you dial 911, the device… [Continue Reading]

  Artificial Intelligence and the legal profession -- is there a safe intersection?

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 3:41pm CEST par Anna Johansson

  If you look at the news, it looks like the entire world will be run by artificial intelligence (AI) in just a decade or two. One of the latest conversations has to do with the role of AI in the legal world. Is there a future here? The legal industry is still based on the same principles that it was decades ago, but it’s undergone some pretty significant changes over the past few years. One area, in particular, that’s worth exploring is AI. In a world that’s increasingly characterized by automation, this industry is trying to figure out what it… [Continue Reading]

  Appeal court rules FBI national security letter gagging orders should remain in place

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 12:57pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Anyone subject to secret surveillance by the FBI through access to their private data remains unentitled to be told about the related national security letters (NSLs). The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled that existing gagging orders that prevent companies from advising people about NSLs relating to them do not violate the First Amendment. A case had been brought to court by the Electronic Frontier Foundation on behalf of Cloudfare and CREDO Mobile that challenged the legitimacy of the gagging orders. EFF won its case back in 2013, but subsequent changes to the law, coupled with… [Continue Reading]

  Half of ex-employees still have access to corporate applications

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 12:51pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Businesses aren't doing enough to guard against the security risks presented by ex-employees, according to new research from identity management firm OneLogin. The study finds that nearly half (48 percent) of respondents are aware of former employees who still have access to corporate applications, with 50 percent of IT decision-makers ex-employee's accounts remaining active once they have left the company for longer than a day. In addition 44 percent of respondents don't have confidence that former employees have been removed from corporate networks at all. According to 20 percent of the respondents, failure to de-provision employees from corporate applications has… [Continue Reading]

  Stealing $7 million of Ethereum from CoinDash took a hacker just 3 minutes

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 11:28am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  A lightning-fast raid on a cryptocurrency platform's website earned a hacker $7 million in three minutes yesterday. Moments after CoinDash launched its ICO (Initial Coin Offering, the cryptocurrency version of an IPO), the attacker modified the address of the wallet it used and watched as millions poured into their own account. The website was shut down as soon as the hack was discovered, but by this time $7 million had already disappeared. CoinDash managed to gather $6 million from investors, but funds stopped arriving with the shutdown. In a statement issued on its website, CoinDash acknowledged the incident, warned that the attack was still… [Continue Reading]

  Google Home and Wifi coming to Australia

  Publié: juillet 18, 2017, 5:32am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Always-listening home virtual assistants can be absolute privacy nightmares, but they are oh so convenient too. Whether you select Amazon Echo or Google Home, you have to decide if you trust the company behind the assistant that is monitoring your home. Look, having a microphone or camera in your living room or bedroom can be scary, but if you are OK with it, you are rewarded with some great functionality, such as controlling IoT devices and getting instant answers to all of your questions. I am privacy-conscious, but I love Alexa too -- such a quandary! If you live in Australia, and wanted Google… [Continue Reading]
