  Publié: octobre 16, 2018, 7:56pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

Today Google has outlined how it will respond to the European ruling, in addition to appealing against it. One of the things the company will do is to start charging smartphone makers a licensing fee to use Google Play.

  Complexity is an obstacle to effective security tools

  Publié: octobre 16, 2018, 3:36pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Although IT operations personnel often help influence the selection of cyber security tools, nearly two out of three say complexity is one of the biggest hindrances in their effectiveness. The study by privileged access management company Thycotic shows complexity in deployment is cited by30 percent and complexity in daily use by 34 percent. "Security tools that are complex to deploy and difficult to use on a daily basis can negatively impact the tool's effectiveness," says Joseph Carson, chief security scientist at Thycotic. "If IT Ops does not adopt and even embrace a security tool, it risks becoming a waste of… [Continue Reading]

  Digital transformation increases risk of cyberattacks

  Publié: octobre 16, 2018, 2:55pm CEST par Ian Barker

  The drive to digital transformation is exposing companies to higher and more costly cyber risks according to a new study of over 1,300 businesses. The study from research firm ESI ThoughtLab, together with a cross-industry coalition of organizations, including HP, KnowBe4, Opus and others, shows that cyber risks rise dramatically as companies embrace new technologies, adopt open platforms, and tap into the ecosystems of partners and suppliers. While firms now report the biggest impacts as being from malware (81 percent), phishing (64 percent), and ransomware (63 percent), in two years they expect massive growth in attacks through partners, customers and… [Continue Reading]

  Google is 'exploring' a censored search tool for China

  Publié: octobre 16, 2018, 11:50am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  The possibility of Google making a return to China was leaked this summer, but the company has remained pretty tight-lipped about the matter. But now CEO Sundar Pichai has spoken publicly about the prospect of Google producing a censored version of its search engine to comply with Chinese regulations. Speaking at a conference in San Francisco, Pichai revealed that Google has, internally, built a search engine for China, because "we wanted to learn what it would look like". He said that the company is "exploring" the idea, and pointed out that 99 percent of searches would not be censored. See… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen dead at 65

  Publié: octobre 16, 2018, 2:18am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Paul Allen is dead. Sadly, the Microsoft co-founder succumbed to cancer today -- non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, to be exact. His death is a bit of a surprise, as earlier in the month, he shared on Twitter that his prognosis was good. Unfortunately, as we learned from the death of Steve Jobs, money can't guarantee life -- an important thing to reflect on when feeling down about being broke. Good health is priceless. While less famous than Bill Gates, Allen (the bearded one above) was still a tremendous force in the world of technology. The icon earned billions of dollars thanks to his time at… [Continue Reading]
