  Equifax was aware of vulnerabilities prior to data breach

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 9:03pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  The total number of people affected by the recent Equifax breach has risen after more details came to light. According to new reports, the number of affected customers has now hit 148 million -- meaning that an additional 2.5 million people have been impacted. However the number of customers hit in some markets may be less than previously thought -- as the report claims that only 8,000 Canadians were affected, not the 100,000 originally reported. During a testimony in front of the Congress, former Equifax CEO Richard Smith said both humans and technology is to blame for the breach. Apparently, Equifax knew about… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 7:21pm CEST par Sead Fadilpašić

  Following the introduction of "adaptive intelligence" earlier this year, designed to improve customer experience (CX), Oracle has now introduced a new offering that builds on that idea. During the Oracle OpenWorld event, the company announced that it will be adding its AI-powered capabilities to the bulk of its cloud applications, including Enterprise Resource Planning Cloud, Human Capital Management Cloud, Supply Chain Management Cloud, as well as the Oracle Customer Experience Cloud applications. Similar to what Salesforce has done with its Einstein, Oracle will be looking to help its clients make better use of both customer and business data. "We have the broadest… [Continue Reading]

  The $49 Home Mini is Google's answer to the Amazon Echo Dot

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 7:13pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Amazon rolled out a selection of new Echo products a week ago, in a move designed to cement the company’s position as the leader of voice assistant technology. At its hardware event today, Google announced its Echo Dot competitor, called the Home Mini. A companion to the Google Home, it will offer much the same functionality, but in a far smaller, cheaper package. You can use it to stream music, control your home, send instructions to other Google products, get answers to questions, check your calendar, and more, all using voice controls. Google says the sound quality from the tiny… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 5:47pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google has unveiled the latest collections of best games and apps for Android. The company introduced the Android Excellence program earlier in the year, and now it has taken the wraps off the lists for Fall 2017. These are not necessarily new titles, so as you browse through the collections you're likely to see a number of familiar names. In all, there are dozens of Android Excellence Apps and Android Excellence Games.

  Microsoft will kill Surface line by 2019

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 5:46pm CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  It is difficult to imagine what the PC market would look like today had Microsoft not introduced the Surface RT and Surface Pro back in 2012. The software giant created a category, set the benchmark for high-end productivity-oriented tablets, and pushed rivals, like Apple, to compete in this space. Despite this, Canalys CEO Steve Brazier and Lenovo COO Gianfranco Lanci believe that the Surface line will be put out to pasture by 2019. Why? The Surface business is not a huge money-maker for Microsoft, making it harder and harder to justify the cost to produce new devices and the low margins involved. "The Surface performance… [Continue Reading]

This is a feature that was previously only available to Plex Pass subscribers, but now all users can enjoy it free of charge. At the same time, Plex is also introducing a new performance-enhancing option to help justify the cost of a subscription. Hardware-Accelerated Streaming does very much what you would expect -- assuming you have the correct CPU or GPU, that is.

  Cost and complexity are top barriers to DevOps adoption

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 4:43pm CEST par Ian Barker

  While DevOps seems to be flavor of the month with many organizations, the path to adoption is not necessarily a smooth one. Intelligent SaaS specialist Pensa has conducted a survey of more than 200 IT decision makers with a view to identifying the biggest challenges they face in the adoption of DevOps practices. Limited budgets are cited as the top barrier to DevOps success by 19.7 percent of respondents. This is followed closely by the constraints of legacy systems (17.2 percent), application complexity (12.8 percent), difficulty managing multiple environments (11.3 percent), and company culture (9.4 percent). Other barriers for DevOps… [Continue Reading]

It uses a combination of dynamic risk scores, updated in real time, reflecting analysis of known risks associated with IP addresses, hashes, domains, and vulnerabilities, plus organization-specific priorities based on an enterprise’s environment including… [Continue Reading]

  Adobe releases Photoshop and Premiere Elements 2018

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 4:01pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  Adobe has released Adobe Photoshop Elements 2018 and Adobe Premiere Elements 2018, brand new versions of its consumer-level photo-editing and video-editing suites. The 2018 versions remain standalone tools -- allowing users to purchase them outright -- and come with a number of new and improved features to build on previous updates. An interesting new feature for Photoshop Elements 2018 is Open Closed Eyes. When taking photos of kids, you want to get the best possible shot, but it’s not always possible to line everything up correctly. You might secure a great action shot with a decent smile, but find the eyes… [Continue Reading]

  What Alexa and iCloud teach us about the power of a hub

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 3:06pm CEST par Tom Krackeler

  Hubs are familiar in some contexts: the center that makes order out of chaos and that serves as the connector orchestrating multiple moving parts. A hub is where "it" all happens. We have strategically located airline hubs for major airlines in major cities, or networking hubs that connect all computers in a given network. We have the city center farmer’s market as a physical manifestation of a commerce hub, the stock exchange as a hub for global financial transactions, and even Comic-Con serving the needs of all comic book fans in one central location. But there’s a new type of… [Continue Reading]

  Google’s Pixel smartphones were among the best Android flagships released last year, and Google is expected to announce their successors today. In addition to the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL smartphones, we’re also expecting the search giant to reveal other products, including a new Google Home, a new Daydream headset, and a new Chromebook. It will be the new flagship Android smartphones that will be the real draw of course, and they are tipped to be faster, with better cameras and water resistance. The Pixel 2 XL is also expected to have a new bezel-free design. The launch event… [Continue Reading]

  Europe demands €250m in tax from Amazon, sues Ireland for Apple's €13bn tax bill

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 12:57pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The European Union has ordered Amazon to repay €250m ($294m) after it ruled that the retailer was granted illegal state aid by Luxembourg. The tax advantage dates back to 2003, but Amazon says that it is considering making an appeal. At the same time, the European Commission has announced that it is going to sue the Irish government for failing to collect €13bn ($15.3bn) in tax from Apple. The Irish government will need to defend itself in the European Court of Justice for failing to gather money from the iPhone-maker following a 2016 ruling by the commission.

The study from robotics specialist Redwood Software identifies the key benefits of automation as speed of process and reduction of manual effort, while the key risks are security and cost. "Companies are rapidly unlocking the potential of robotics and automation, and transforming their entire businesses in the process," says Dennis Walsh, president of Americas and Asia-Pacific for Redwood Software.

  HPE gave Russia access to Pentagon security software

  Publié: octobre 4, 2017, 1:14am CEST par Michael Moore

  HPE has come under fire over claims that it gave Russian defense forces access to review software it sold to the Pentagon to supposedly protect the agency's networks. According to regulatory records seen by Reuters, HPE gave Russian defense agencies access to its ArcSight software as part of a bid to gain the certification needed to sell its software to the Russian public sector. The site quoted several former US military sources and former ArcSight employees as saying that this view into the internal workings of the software's source code, could help Russia detect potential weak spots in Pentagon cyber-defenses that could be… [Continue Reading]
