  Why endpoint management is critical to your enterprise security strategy

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 8:19pm CEST par Mathivanan Venkatachalam

  Endpoints make the enterprise run, whether they are laptops or desktops running macOS, Windows or Linux; smartphones or tablets running iOS or Android; virtual machines or IoT devices. They’re found driving business on local networks, in remote offices and in the hands of traveling users. However, endpoints also make the enterprise vulnerable. They are a favorite target of criminals who launch cyberattacks via ransomware, spyware, phishing and other malicious software. Over the past year alone, critical endpoint vulnerabilities have been discovered in popular OSs and applications and then exploited by WannaCry, Meltdown, Spectre, Petya, Fireball, Bad Rabbit and other harmful… [Continue Reading]

  How automation will impact education

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 7:34pm CEST par Neil Kinson

  There has been a lot of hype around how new technologies like automation will impact our way of life. Some live in fear that their jobs will be lost to humanoid robots, while others excitedly welcome bots like Amazon Alexa into their home. The impact of 'robots' -- itself an ill-defined category -- is widely discussed and hotly contested. In the business world, most industries have much to gain from automation and robotics, but what this looks like in practice is a far cry from the wider speculation. Education in particular is ripe for automation -- but we won’t be… [Continue Reading]

  IT and the rise of connected cars

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 7:24pm CEST par Matthew Harper

  Volkswagen recently revealed that it is exploring using an innovative form of distributed-ledger (i.e., blockchain) technology called the IOTA "Tangle" to deliver software updates to its autonomous cars.  The technology may be available to customers as early as Spring 2019. It’s just the latest in a seemingly unending stream of news about connected cars, a broad term that encompasses everything from cars with built-in GPS systems to fully autonomous, AI-driven semi trucks in the emergent IoT space. While the topics of conversation are spanning everything from legislation to programming ethics, not enough air-time has been devoted to discussing exactly how… [Continue Reading]

  Early adopters delay IoT purchases over security concerns

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 3:58pm CEST par Ian Barker

  While people are still excited about Internet of Things technology, many are delaying buying over concerns about privacy and security. A new survey from cyber security company F-Secure shows that 63 percent of early adopters are looking to purchase new devices, but 50 percent have delayed an IoT purchase because of security concerns. Almost two thirds (63 percent) of UK early adopters are also worried that new internet connected devices, such as wearables and connected home appliances, could lead to a violation of their privacy. Awareness of cyber threats has increased considerably over the past three years: 62 percent of… [Continue Reading]

  Consumers will stop spending with businesses after a breach

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 3:15pm CEST par Ian Barker

  New research finds that that 83 percent of consumers will stop spending with a business for several months in the immediate aftermath of a security breach or a hack. More than a fifth (21 percent) will never return to a brand or a business post-breach, representing a significant loss of revenue, according to the study from secure payments provider PCI Pal. Even being perceived as having lax security practices can be enough to incur spending penalties -- almost half (45 percent) of those surveyed report that they spend less with brands they perceive to have insecure data practices, while over… [Continue Reading]

  Advanced SystemCare 12 includes a new privacy shield

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 3:14pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  Should you keep your system optimized or simply allow Windows to keep your computer in-check? A few years ago, data would build, junk would collate and it was relatively easy to cause a blue screen of death or even stop Windows from booting at all, requiring a system restore. These days Windows 10 is far better engineered and will do a good job keeping your system maintained. With this in mind, system maintenance suites are turning their hand to security, adding features to enable you to keep yourself safe and secure whilst you browse the internet (although your security software should… [Continue Reading]

  Logitech Capture webcam software enters public beta

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 2:59pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  With YouTube and social media being so popular these days, it can seem like everyone is sharing photos and videos of themselves online. Heck, there are professional content creators and Instagram models that get paid a lot of money to share media content with followers. It's a weird and wild world, folks. Webcams are an important tool to vloggers and streamers, but make no mistake -- all cameras are not created equally. In fact, the ones that are integrated into laptops are often terrible. Thankfully, companies like Logitech produce high-end USB webcams for those that don't want to compromise. Apparently,… [Continue Reading]

  Privacy: Google makes it easier to delete your search history

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 2:44pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  It's the butt of many jokes, but your search history -- as well as your browsing history -- can be hugely revealing about you. While it is possible to quickly clear the record of searches that your browser stores, it is not so easy to delete the records stored by Google. At least that used to be true. Google has just announced a new option that enables you to view and delete your Google search history, making it possible to take control of some of the data stored on the company's servers. Contrary to what you might expect, the option… [Continue Reading]

  Kodi 18 'Leia' will come with fewer features installed, and that’s a good thing

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 12:58pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  The Kodi Foundation is busy finishing off the next major release of its hugely popular home theater software, and has made a fundamental change.

  TeamViewer 14 Preview is here with new augmented reality Pilot mode

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 12:32pm CEST par Chris Wiles

  We handle support for novice computer users and you’ll be surprised how many of these customers do not understand the basics of computing. Sell them security software and many can’t install the new suite as they’ve never fully removed the previous one. So frustrating. The easiest solution is to employ TeamViewer and remotely advise the user via their computer, that than either over the phone or by email. It’s quicker to perform a task yourself than guide someone, which has made the software a godsend for any remote support facility. TeamViewer 14 Preview is here and it’s looking like the… [Continue Reading]

  Tim Cook calls for 'comprehensive federal privacy law in the United States'

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 12:23pm CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  Speaking at the International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners in Brussels, Apple CEO Tim Cook praised Europe's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and said the US needs to fight back against the weaponization of personal data. In a strongly-worded speech, Cook avoided explicitly naming the likes of Google and Facebook for trading in private information, but it was clear who he was referring to when he said data was being misused. He added: "We shouldn't sugar-coat the consequences. This is surveillance". See also: Apple gives US customers the chance to download their data and updates its privacy page… [Continue Reading]

  Web applications leave companies vulnerable to breaches

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 12:15pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Insecure and outdated web applications are a core source of high-profile data breaches among FT 500 global companies according to new research from web security company High-Tech Bridge. The study reveals that abandoned, shadow and legacy web applications more or less nullify corporate cybersecurity spending and undermine compliance. The research took the 1,000 largest global companies as per the Financial Times: FT US 500 and FT Europe 500 and High-Tech Bridge performed a large-scale discovery and non-intrusive assessment of their external web and mobile applications, SSL certificates, web software and unprotected cloud storage. It found that the 500 largest US… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 11:11am CEST par Ian Barker

  It seems not a day goes by without a new cloud data breach making headlines. And though the victims change, the attack details remain the same. Why do organizations keep repeating the same cloud security mistakes? And how can we break free from this vicious cycle? We spoke to Zach Malone, security engineer at security management specialist FireMon, who discusses these issues and tells us why, to identify the biggest threat to cloud security, we need to look in the mirror.

  Facebook Messenger 4 is simpler and far, far less ugly

  Publié: octobre 24, 2018, 9:51am CEST par Mark Wycislik-Wilson

  After hitting the headlines for falling victim to a hack attack, and then the privacy issues surround its Portal devices, Facebook will be hoping that the rollout of a sleeker, sexier, simplified version of Messenger will do something to get disgruntled users back on side. The social networking giant has launched Facebook Messenger 4, a neater and tidier version of its messaging app. As well as clearing out the clutter, there is the promise of a dark mode in the future.
