  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 4:52pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Many organizations work with hundreds of third parties, creating new risks that must be actively managed. The financial industry, in particular, has a massive business ecosystem made up of legal organizations, accounting and human resources firms, management consulting and outsourcing firms, and information technology and software providers. A new study into the financial services sector from security ratings company BitSight finds that 97 percent of respondents say cyber risk affecting third parties is a major issue. In addition, nearly 80 percent of respondents say they have terminated or would decline a business relationship due to a vendor's cybersecurity performance. One… [Continue Reading]

  Fedora 30 Beta is here -- try the next version of the best Linux distro now

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 4:07pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Fedora is the best overall Linux distribution. It's really not up for debate -- even the father of Linux, Linus Torvalds uses it. The focus of the operating system is truly free and open source software, making it one of the most pure experiences. And while there are many flavors to choose with various desktop environments, the default is GNOME -- the overall best DE. While Fedora maybe isn't the best distro for beginners, it should be the eventual choice for those that "level up" to being an experienced Linux user later. Today, after a bit of a delay, Fedora… [Continue Reading]

  Companies overconfident in management of sensitive data

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 4:02pm CEST par Ian Barker

  A new study into how enterprises manage sensitive data reveals overconfidence in knowing where private data resides, and the use of inadequate tools such as spreadsheets to track it. The research from Integris Software shows 40 percent are 'very' or 'extremely' confident in knowing exactly where sensitive data resides, despite only taking inventory once a year or less. Yet a mere 17 percent of respondents are able to access sensitive data across five common data source types. The survey exposes the lack of visibility companies have on where their data lives. Nearly 45 percent of respondents say they need to… [Continue Reading]

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 3:31pm CEST par Ian Barker

  As we approach the tax return season, a survey from document destruction and information security company Shred-It reveals that 38 percent of US taxpayers say they are worried they will become a victim of tax fraud or tax identity theft. Yet according to the study 45 percent admit to storing tax paperwork in a box, desk drawer or unlocked cabinet at home or work. What's more, 19 percent admit they don't shred tax paperwork or physical documents containing sensitive information before throwing them away. While nearly half of taxpayers (48 percent) will file their own taxes online via tax preparation… [Continue Reading]

  Microsoft launches new 13.5-inch Surface Book 2 with 8th Gen Intel quad-core i5 processor

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 2:56pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  With precisely zero fanfare, Microsoft has added a new mid-range Surface Book 2 to the existing line-up. Priced at $1,499, the 13.5-inch model is now available with the new i5-8350U processor. The addition of an 8th generation Intel quad-core Core i5 processor was something we'd heard rumoured, and this new model not only opens up the range of options available to buyers, it also means that other prices have been reduced.

  85 percent of organizations don't meet basic levels of PAM security

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 2:50pm CEST par Ian Barker

  While 78 percent of organizations now include privileged credential protection as part of their cyber security policies, their privileged access management (PAM) security practices are still lacking. According to a new study by PAM specialist Thycotic, 85 percent of respondents are still struggling to get beyond the initial phase of PAM maturity. A worrying 55 percent of organizations have no idea how many privileged accounts they have or where they're located. In addition more than half of organizations' privileged accounts never expire or get deprovisioned. Only 18 percent of organizations are storing all their privileged accounts in a secure privileged… [Continue Reading]

  FinalCrypt 4.0.3 adds uncrackable encryption to your most sensitive files

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 2:20pm CEST par Nick Peers

  The battle to encrypt data securely rages on, with developments in quantum computing mirrored by hackers’ ever more creative attempts to break encryption. Ironically, one form of encryption resistant to all forms of hacking -- One Time Pad (OTP) -- dates from the 19th century. Symmetric OTP works by generating encryption from a key file -- the larger the better -- which renders all attempts to decrypt the data useless without access to said key file. And FinalCrypt, available for Windows, Mac and Linux -- indeed any Java-capable computer can run the tool, brings the technology to any computer user.… [Continue Reading]

  Cloudflare announces free VPN service, Warp, to complement its 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 1:52pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Online privacy has become such a concern that VPN tools -- once used only by technology experts -- have now started to become far more mainstream. Android users can take advantage of Opera's built-in VPN, and there are many other services to choose from. Adding to this list, Cloudflare has announced a new free VPN service called Warp. It will become part of the company's existing privacy-focused 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver, and just as 1.1.1.1 was designed to simplify using a DNS tool, so Warp is being billed as a "VPN for people who don't know what V.P.N. stands for".

  Attackers target supply chains using 'island hopping'

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 1:07pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Around half of recent cyberattacks use 'island hopping' techniques, seeking to target not just one network but those along the supply chain too. This is one of the findings of the latest Global Incident Response Threat Report from Carbon Black. It also finds that 70 percent of attacks now attempt to move laterally around the network. Attacks are becoming more sophisticated in their attempts to avoid detection too. 56 percent of survey respondents have seen attacks deploying some form of counter measures. Of these 87 percent tried to destroy logs and 70 percent used evasion tactics. While the finance and… [Continue Reading]

  How to schedule emails in Gmail

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 12:59pm CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  It seems hard to believe, but Gmail has now been with us for 15 years. To celebrate a decade-and-a-half of existence, Google has added a handful of new and improved features to it. Smart compose has been updated and expanded to more devices and languages, and it has also been made smarter with AI-powered personalization. But the star of the show is email scheduling, something people have been asking for for years. Here's how to use it.

  You can now buy an official Raspberry Pi keyboard and mouse

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 12:47pm CEST par Wayne Williams

  The beauty of the Raspberry Pi is you don’t need to spend a fortune to get the barebones computer up and running. Once you’ve bought the Pi itself, you can use your own keyboard, mouse, monitor, power supply and so on, and spend as little (or as much) as you want to get any items you require but don’t currently have. Raspberry Pi owners have been able to buy official Pi cases for a while, and now they can add an official keyboard and mouse too, so everything matches. The new keyboard is currently available in six layouts -- English… [Continue Reading]

  Vulnerabilities leave financial mobile apps open to attack

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 11:10am CEST par Ian Barker

  A new report reveals widespread security inadequacies and protection failures among consumer financial applications. The research for Arxan Technologies, carried out by Aite Group, says these vulnerabilities can lead to the exposure of source code, sensitive data stored in apps, access to back-end servers via APIs, and more. Among key findings are that 97 percent of all apps tested lacked binary code protection, making it possible to reverse engineer or decompile the apps exposing source code to analysis and tampering. 90 percent of the apps tested shared services with other applications on the device, leaving data from the financial institution's… [Continue Reading]

  The best new features in Visual Studio 2019 (and Visual Studio 2019 for Mac)

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 10:40am CEST par Mihăiță Bamburic

  Visual Studio is not only one of the oldest IDEs around, having launched in the late-1990s, but it is also one of the most popular. Chances are, if you ask developers what they use, Visual Studio will be among the top answers. And, for good reasons: it is a mature, powerful and versatile IDE that is used across the globe to create websites, desktop software, mobile apps and games in a number of popular programming languages, like C# and C++. And, every couple of years, Microsoft gives it a major update to add new features, refine existing ones and make it… [Continue Reading]

  Linux Mint 19.2 'Tina' is on the way, but the developers seem defeated and depressed

  Publié: avril 2, 2019, 2:58am CEST par Brian Fagioli

  I have been a bit critical of Linux Mint in the past, but the truth is, it is a great distribution that many people enjoy. While Mint is not my favorite desktop distro (that would be Fedora), I recognize its quality. Is it perfect? No, there is no such thing as a flawless Linux-based operating system. Today should be happy times for the Linux Mint community, as we finally learn some new details about the upcoming version 19.2! It will be based on Ubuntu 18.04 and once again feature three desktop environments -- Xfce, Mate, and Cinnamon. We even found… [Continue Reading]
