  Intel: Qualcomm uses the courts to destroy its competition

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 11:15pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Intel has weighed in on the legal sparring between Apple and Qualcomm, accusing the latter of (ab)using the courts to destroy any competition it has. The American chipmaking company accused Qualcomm of competition squashing on Thursday, issuing a public statement to the US International Trade Commission. The Commission asked for the statement, as it investigates Qualcomm’s accusations that Apple’s iPhones infringe six Qualcomm patents. Intel basically said that Qualcomm is looking to "stave off" any competition from its only competitor. "Qualcomm did not initiate this investigation to stop the alleged infringement of its patent rights; rather, its complaint is a transparent effort to… [Continue Reading]

  CEOs should be held accountable for cyber attacks and data breaches

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 9:15pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  CEOs should be the ones responsible in case of a cyber-attack and a data breach in an organization, according to a new report by Tripwire. Polling Infosecurity Europe 2017 attendees on who should be held accountable in such a scenario, 40 percent said CEOs. CISOs are the second in line with 21 percent of answers, while 14 percent would blame the CIO. Tripwire says CEOs should be aware of the "basic principles of security," and remembered the example of former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who forfeited her cash bonus following a breach. However, CEOs shouldn’t be the only ones holding responsibility for… [Continue Reading]

  Productivity trumps security

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 7:41pm CEST par Michael Moore

  An overwhelming majority of workers are putting the security of their entire business at risk by preferring productivity over safety, new research has claimed. A survey by security firm Bromium found that most security professionals are often asked to make exceptions to their work that would put companies at risk. Worryingly, nearly two-thirds (64 percent) of security workers surveyed at the recent Infosecurity Europe 2017 event in London said that they had modified protocols in the workplace to allow employees more freedom to get their work done because of a request from leadership. Forty percent also admitted to turning security off to… [Continue Reading]

  Flash is finally bowing out to HTML5 as Adobe aims to stop updates in 2020

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 6:43pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  The death of Flash has been long, slow and protracted. The writing has been on the wall for some time now, but it seems that Adobe is finally ready to kiss its (adopted) baby goodbye. The company is bringing Flash to end-of-life and will stop updating and distributing Flash Player in 2020. Anyone who is still using Flash is being encouraged to embrace open standards such as HTML5, WebGL and WebAssembly as replacements. Adobe says that it will continue to work with key tech companies to maintain security and stability beyond 2020, but don’t expect any more than that. Facebook,… [Continue Reading]

  How tech companies stack up for pay and corporate culture

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 5:42pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Technology companies are some of the biggest players in the business world, yet many still like to see themselves as being 'cool' places to work. A new study from compensation data specialist PayScale looks at a number of factors across 52 of the world's largest technology companies, comparing compensation, tenure, job satisfaction, and intent to leave, with some surprising results. The five tech companies with the most satisfied employees are: Box.com (91 percent), Zendesk (89 percent), LinkedIn (82 percent), Google (81 percent), and Workday (75 percent). On the other side of the coin, the highest levels of stress are experienced… [Continue Reading]

  Veritaseum cryptocurrency loses $8.4 million in ICO hack

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 5:14pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  The cryptocurrency market is a very attractive target for hackers. This month alone, we have seen successful attacks carried out against popular wallets and an ICO (Initial Coin Offerings), during which hackers stole tens of millions of dollars. And the siege is not over yet. Veritaseum, which is one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies, also had its ICO hacked, with the attacker (or attackers) managing to steal $8.4 million in tokens. This time around, it was more sophisticated than the CoinDash ICO hack which happened just a week before. Veritaseum founder Reggie Middleton believes that "there is at least one corporate partner that… [Continue Reading]

  Prepare to get pissed at Google as autoplaying videos arrive in search results

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 5:08pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  When Twitter and Facebook introduced autoplaying videos, many users were annoyed by their intrusive nature. Subsequent tweaks and the introduction of autoplay settings calmed the mood a little, but now Google has decided to stir things up a bit. Perform a Google search and you might well find that the results include an autoplaying video -- even for searches that would not necessarily mean you want to see a video. Given the reception autoplaying videos have received elsewhere, this is not likely to go down well with Google users. First spotted by TheSEMPost, the autoplaying videos appears when you conduct… [Continue Reading]

  New enterprise file platform helps overcome storage limitations

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 4:38pm CEST par Ian Barker

  With the rise of public and private clouds, enterprise file storage has become much more complex in recent years. Aimed at simplifying storage and removing capacity limitations, the latest Enterprise File Services Platform from CTERA Networks allows users to securely access, share and protect an unlimited number of files in the cloud as if they were stored locally on their desktop or on shared network drives. Version 6.0 of the platform provides unified modern file services for endpoints, offices and servers with the highest levels of security and with full IT control over data migration, governance, and choice of cloud.… [Continue Reading]

  AI-based platform improves security teams' response

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 4:02pm CEST par Ian Barker

  With risks showing no signs of declining, and security skills in short supply, companies are increasingly looking at machine-driven solutions to protect their networks. AI security company JASK is launching a new platform called JASK Trident which uses AI to facilitate machine driven alert triage, malicious behavior detection, and investigations into those behaviors. "With millions of cybersecurity jobs going unfilled, CISOs and managers of security operations centers across industries like financial, manufacturing, healthcare, and retail are looking for ways to improve their teams' abilities to mitigate cyberattacks," says Greg Martin, CEO and co-founder at JASK. "Trident accelerates the rate at… [Continue Reading]

  Most businesses use Windows 10

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 3:58pm CEST par Michael Moore

  A high number of organizations around the world have still not upgraded to Windows 10, despite the software being available for several years, new figures have said. In a study marking two years since the release of Windows 10, networking firm Spiceworks found that only 60 percent of global organizations have upgraded to the newest platform in this time. The UK was found to be one of the highest adopters, with the EMEA region seeing 62 percent penetration rate for Windows 10. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the highest adoption rates were seen in the software industry (75 percent) and in businesses with 100… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 3:18pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Google launches SOS Alerts in Search and Maps to help out in a crisis

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 12:46pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Google is rolling out new features to its Search and Maps products to help get information out to people in the event of a crisis. SOS Alerts provides access to information and stories about incidents and locations where there has been some form of disaster. Just what is displayed to you depends on how close you are to the incident. Google will show those in the area information such as emergency numbers and directions to help, while those elsewhere will see news about what is going on, and links to donate money or help. The idea borrows somewhat from Facebook's… [Continue Reading]

  New intelligence service allows companies to protect their digital identity

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 12:24pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Hackers often seek to imitate well-known companies in order to cash in on events as we saw in the wake of the recent WannaCry attacks. It’s therefore important for companies to be aware of their digital presence and know if they are being impersonated online. Threat management company RiskIQ is launching a Digital Footprint Snapshot to provide an on-demand intelligence report of a firm's internet-facing digital assets. "RiskIQ Digital Footprint allows organizations to more effectively discover, map, and monitor their internet-facing digital assets that may be susceptible to exploitation or compromise," says Steve Ginty, senior product manager at RiskIQ.

  Google releases Android O Developer Preview 4, the last beta before the official launch

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 12:13pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Android fans with a Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel C, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P or Nexus Player (or if you're happy using the Android Emulator) can now try out Android O Developer Preview 4. Google has released the final beta version of its mobile operating system as we draw ever-closer to the official launch of Android O -- or Android 8.0, if you prefer. At this stage we don’t know what the O stands for. There's an octopus-related Easter egg in Developer Preview 4, but that's not in keeping with the dessert theme naming convention. The biggest news in this release… [Continue Reading]

  Firefox 8.0 for iOS adds Night Mode, QR Code Reader and improved user experience

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 12:09pm CEST par Nick Peers

  These days, it’s Google and Chrome that dominates the web browser market, with even Microsoft slipping behind and everyone else playing the role of also-rans. Mozilla has suffered more than most -- since dipping below Chrome into third place in 2011, it’s never looked like recovering that market share, but the non-profit is attempting to find itself a niche by playing the outsider card. If there’s one platform where Mozilla has particularly struggled to gain a foothold, it’s iOS. Can the latest release -- Firefox for iOS 8.0.1 -- change that? It’s been around two years since Firefox returned to… [Continue Reading]

  Europe says Facebook, Twitter and Google need to improve user terms or face fines

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 11:12am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Facebook, Twitter and Google have failed to impress EU authorities with their proposed revisions to user terms. The three companies have been under pressure to amend their terms to bring them in line with European law. The European Commission and consumer protection authorities wrote to the tech giants last month, giving them until July 20th to submit proposals about their respective social networks. The companies have until September to implement changes that satisfy Europe, or fines could be handed out. There are concerns in Europe about how the US-based companies are operating off home turf. In particular, Europe wanted changes… [Continue Reading]

  MS Paint will live on… in the Windows Store

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 10:11am CEST par Wayne Williams

  Yesterday, I wrote how Microsoft’s simple graphics program Paint was getting killed off after 32 years’ service, but it seems it’s not dead yet. Microsoft is going to be retiring it from future versions of Windows 10, but you’ll still be able to get Paint from the Windows Store. In a blog post titled, 'MS Paint is here to stay', Microsoft says: Today, we’ve seen an incredible outpouring of support and nostalgia around MS Paint. If there’s anything we learned, it’s that after 32 years, MS Paint has a lot of fans. It’s been amazing to see so much love… [Continue Reading]

  Facebook acquires Source3 to help prevent video piracy because its own tools aren't up to the job

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 10:08am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Any online platform must contend with the problem of piracy and intellectual property rights, and Facebook is no different. The social network gives content owners the opportunity to monetize their videos, but in order for this to work, owners' rights need to be protected; this is why Facebook introduced its Rights Manager tool a couple of years ago. But it seems that Facebook's own weapons in the fight against piracy and content theft have not been as effective as the company -- and content owners -- would have hoped. As such Facebook is taking Source3 under its wing. The startup… [Continue Reading]

  What are Intel's plans regarding 5G?

  Publié: juillet 25, 2017, 5:31am CEST par Michael Moore

  With just a few years to go before the expected introduction of superfast 5G networks around the world, the need for robust infrastructure to support the new networks is becoming paramount. 5G will usher in a new era of data handling, with consumers, businesses and billions of connected devices creating and transmitting more and more information. Intel has long been a key player in creating and maintaining the hardware needed for technological transformation. Earlier this month, the company revealed its latest Xeon scalable platform, making a major play to be the processing power needed for the next generation of connectivity. 5G networks will… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft has beaten analyst expectations once again with better than expected quarterly earnings. The Redmond, Wash.-based giant has released its latest quarterly earnings, for Q4 FY2017, showing a non-GAAP revenue of $24.7 billion and GAAP earnings of $0.83 per share.
