  5 keys to customer data protection now that GDPR is here

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 11:51pm CEST par Lindsay Boullin

  Protecting customer data should always be a top priority for businesses. But doing so is increasingly extending beyond moral responsibility and taking on the form of legal requirement. As you’ve surely heard, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) took effect May 25. This set of regulations, which replaces the Data Protection Act 1998, legislates online data rights for any organization that sells products or services to European Union (EU) customers. Complying with these new rules might seem daunting (and even unnecessary) for US-based small businesses, particularly since there’s still a lot of confusion regarding the specifics of these new rules… [Continue Reading]

  Solving for GDPR: It’s about technology and human behavior

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 8:43pm CEST par Christy Haragan

  GDPR -- it’s a nightmare for organizations, but a much-needed protection for citizens in our world of Cambridge Analytica, criminal hackers, and nation-states cyberthreats. There are many aspects of the regulation that are extremely tricky to implement, but let’s consider just one. Imagine the following scenario: A new customer signs up to your eCommerce website. Their data gets moved into several back-end systems; maybe a CRM, an accounts system, an order management system, marketing, and probably some kind of data science workbench. Sometime later, an analyst is tasked with analyzing new customers and their behaviors, their retention rates, and other… [Continue Reading]

  Google and The American Red Cross partner for World Blood Donor Day

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 8:21pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Whenever there is a tragic event, such as a natural disaster or large-scale terrorist attack, people turn out in droves to donate blood. This is very noble, but such a donation is not only needed during publicized tragedies. Every day, hospitals around the world use donated blood to save lives. Each year, we celebrate World Blood Donor Day -- an annual occasion to raise awareness regarding the necessity of this life-changing donation. On this day, people often want to donate, but it can be hard to know where to go. Thankfully, Google is partnering with The American Red Cross to make… [Continue Reading]

  Why London will always be a global connectivity leader

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 6:35pm CEST par Andrew Fray

  With the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in effect, and Brexit negations in full swing, there is tremendous debate about London’s new place in the world economy. However, even in a post-Brexit and GDPR world, London is a resilient city with a 400-year history at the center of trade and finance. In 1998, my company, Interxion,strategically chose central London as the location of its first data center. Twenty years later, we continue to invest in this city with the launch of our third data center, opening in July. So what makes London such an attractive connectivity hub for businesses all… [Continue Reading]

  Mobile: The driving force behind digital transformation

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 6:22pm CEST par Jon Mikow

  From retail to manufacturing, the digital transformation is taking the world by storm, and mobile is leading the charge. With mobile affecting everything from corporate processes to the customer experience, it’s important for businesses to understand just how mobile and the digital revolution are bringing big changes. As productivity increases, so does the need to communicate more quickly. Currently, it takes 50 milliseconds to send a piece of data from one mobile device to another. Impressively, with 5G, that time will be cut to just one millisecond -- now, that’s fast. While operators are projected to spend $1.7 trillion on… [Continue Reading]

  Privacy: Facebook advertisers must warn users if ads are targeted because of data they purchased

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 5:59pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The fall out from the Cambridge Analytica scandal continues for Facebook, and the social media giant is busy trying to repair its somewhat tattered reputation. The latest measures see the company introducing new privacy safeguards to inform users if advertisers are using information supplied by so-called "data brokers". These brokers are firms that gather data about people and then sell this information on to other companies, often for the purposes of targeted advertising. Facebook is not banning the practice, merely requiring advertisers to keep users informed.

  Apple updates App Store rules to prevent devs gathering data from contacts

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 5:23pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Apple has tweaked its App Store policies, closing a loophole that made it possible for developers to gather data from phone contacts and then sell or share that data without consent. Until very recently app developers have been able to ask for permission to access users' address books and then use this permission to gather data about contacts. But with the latest policy change -- introduced with no announcement -- Apple has clamped down on this practice in the name of privacy.

  Microsoft Office gets a facelift to improve usability

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 5:11pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Microsoft has announced that it's giving its flagship Office suite a makeover designed to deliver a balance of 'power and simplicity'. The updates apply to Office.com and Office 365 and will be rolled out over the next few months, the company says it will 'test and learn' as it goes -- those of a cynical mind might see that as code for letting users find the bugs. The changes are based on a 'Three Cs' -- customers, context and control -- principle, designed to focus on the features people use most and making it easier to access them. "Office is… [Continue Reading]

  Xbox One reported to integrate with Google Assistant and Alexa

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 5:06pm CEST par Kayla Matthews

  Rumors are swirling that it won’t be long before people could talk to their smart speakers to control aspects of their Xbox One systems. Details are scarce, but here’s what’s known so far. Microsoft formerly offered voice control functionality for Xbox players through its Kinect accessory. But, once the company discontinued it in 2017, and then quit making Xbox One adapters for the Kinect shortly afterward, gamers became more limited. The Xbox One does have Cortana, but the availability of features that work with Alexa and the Google Assistant could help players do even more with their systems. No News… [Continue Reading]

  Data science moves away from big data towards containers and cloud

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 4:40pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Traditional Hadoop-style big data is giving way to cloud and container solutions like Docker, according to the results of a new survey. The State of Data Science survey, carried out by Python data science platform Anaconda, among over 4,000 of its users, shows that Docker now makes up 19 percent of data science platforms, beating Hadoop/Spark with 15 percent and Kubernetes at 5.8 percent. This is partly due to the fact that what was 'big data' in 2005, when Hadoop began, now easily fits into a single server's memory and there is now a wide range of alternatives to building… [Continue Reading]

  Ransomware: As big a threat as the media claims

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 4:35pm CEST par Tom DeSot

  Ransomware is a very real threat that targets businesses of all sizes and industries. Really any business can be a target. With that being said financial institutions and retail are most at risk given the transactional nature of their business and the number of people that may have access to a terminal or computer at any given point in time. The first thing that an organization needs to do is recognize that they are a target for ransomware just like any other company. Next, they need to ensure that they have the proper tools anti-virus/anti-malware installed on all computer systems to detect… [Continue Reading]

  Would you swap Windows 10 for Windows 95 -- 2018 Edition?

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 1:44pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  Windows 95 was never much to look at, with its predominately grey, boxy design, but two decades ago it was revolutionary, introducing Windows users to the concept of a Start menu and taskbar for the first time, as well as rudimentary plug-and-play support. Truth be told, it was never the greatest of operating systems (Windows 98 and XP both improved significantly on the foundations it laid down) but if it had a modern makeover, could we forgive its shortcomings? Feast your eyes on Windows 95 -- 2018 Edition, and decide for yourself. SEE ALSO: Windows XP 2018 Edition is the… [Continue Reading]

  Offline Google Translate to be boosted by AI

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 1:15pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Google is improving the offline translation skills of Google Translate with an injection of AI in the form of neural machine translation (NMT). The use of on-device AI helps to dramatically improve the quality of offline translations, and works in much the same as online translations do. The use of neural machine translation helps to improve accuracy by looking at complete sentences, rather than translating word by word.

  95 percent of parents worry about the risks children face from online games

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 11:10am CEST par Ian Barker

  Although a large majority of parents (95 percent) say they’re concerned about the risks online gaming poses, they admit to allowing games to entertain their offspring. A new study by McAfee finds 92 percent of parents allow their children to play at least one hour of video games every day, with eight percent admitting that they allow their children to play more than five hours a day. On average, children play video games for 2.13 hours a day or nearly 15 hours a week. More concerning is that 62 percent of children play games where they directly interact with other… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: juin 13, 2018, 11:02am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Another week, another cyberattack. This time around, it's the Dixons Carphone group which says it has fallen victim to not one but two major breaches.
