  System76 announces 'Adder WS' Ubuntu Linux laptop with 4K OLED display

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 10:19pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  We are well beyond the point where a computer running a Linux desktop operating system is considered a second class citizen. Gamers, enthusiasts, business users, and more are increasingly turning to distributions based on the open source kernel. With Windows 10 being a bit of a train wreck, it's not hard to see why. And so, Linux users deserve premium computers for both work and play. System76 has long been selling high-quality premium computers running Linux, and today, it is stepping it up a notch. Its new laptop, called "Adder WS," can almost be considered a desktop crammed into a… [Continue Reading]

  Mac users: It's time to wake up and smell the vulnerabilities

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 10:08pm CEST par Attila Tomaschek

  Are you one of the millions of Mac users under the impression that your digital security is guaranteed simply due to the fact that you’re using a Mac? Then I’ve got some news for you that you may not want to hear: the popular and long-standing myth that Mac users are immune to security vulnerabilities is just that -- a myth. This myth largely derives from the fact that the global Windows market share dwarfs that of macOS. Hackers and cybercriminals would much rather target an operating system that serves nearly 90 percent of users worldwide than one that accounts… [Continue Reading]

  Google lets Android users non-verbally contact emergency services by phone

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 8:03pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation, you can just call 911 for help, right? Well, usually, but not always. In some situations, you may be unable to communicate verbally. God forbid, but what if you are kidnapped and forcefully gagged by an assailant? Maybe an intruder is in your home and you are hiding in a closet -- calling 911 might alert the bad person of your location. Hell, maybe you have a brain incident, such as a stroke, that causes you to lose verbal skills. As you can see, calling for help isn't always so easy.… [Continue Reading]

  New platform helps automate security operations

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 4:38pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Speed of response is critical for security teams, which is why many companies employ Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) tools. Security automation platform LogicHub is looking to take SOAR a step further with the launch of a SOAR+ platform offers autonomous detection and response, advanced analytics and machine learning to automate decision making with accuracy across disparate security operations. "SOAR technology is good for automating the ingestion and enrichment of data and automating incident response once analysts make decisions about what actions to take," says Kumar Saurabh, CEO of LogicHub. "The gap in security automation today, however, lies in… [Continue Reading]

  New solution uses backup data to find vulnerabilities

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 3:50pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Finding and addressing vulnerabilities is a major headache for businesses, left unattended they can lead to cyberattacks and data breaches. Data management company Cohesity is looking to make detection easier with a new application that uses backup data to assess the vulnerabilities, or risk posture, of an enterprise's IT environment. Cohesity CyberScan works by scanning backup copies on Cohesity DataPlatform (instead of the live production copy) to identify any vulnerabilities across an organization's IT environment, including the operating system, computer, network devices, and configurations. The application gives a global view of all vulnerabilities through an easy-to-read security dashboard along with… [Continue Reading]

  25 percent of security analysts' time is wasted on false positives

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 3:11pm CEST par Ian Barker

  Security analysts in US enterprises spend around a quarter of their time chasing false positives because security alerts or indicators of compromise (IOCs) are erroneous. This is among the findings of research carried out by Exabeam and the Ponemon Institute which also shows that security teams must evaluate and respond to nearly 4,000 security alerts per week. While false positives are the largest drain on resources, the study also shows that investigating actionable intelligence and building incident timelines; and cleaning, fixing and/or patching networks, applications and devices resulting from an incident each take over 15 percent of a security team’s… [Continue Reading]

  Google celebrates 100 million monthly Files users by introducing new features

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 3:09pm CEST par Brian Fagioli

  Google's Files app is a very important tool. Not only does it find duplicate and junk files so the user can delete them, but it also lets the users share files to nearby devices without internet access. These features are particularly important in low-income areas and third-world counties, where phones often come with very little storage and internet access is limited or non-existent. Today, Google announces that its Files app has achieved 100 million monthly users. Wow! That is impressive. To celebrate this milestone, Google is unveiling some new features for the mobile app. ALSO READ: Google declares war on private property… [Continue Reading]

  85 percent of enterprise web traffic is cloud services

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 11:21am CEST par Ian Barker

  A new study based on aggregated, anonymized data from millions of global users reveals that cloud services now account for 85 percent of all enterprise web traffic. The report from cloud security company Netskope also reveals that heavy use of cloud services is often driven by multiple instances of cloud service usage across an organization. Cloud storage and collaboration apps make up the majority of the top 20 cloud services list, with consumer-focused social media services like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube also prominent on the list, a sign that more enterprises are allowing employees to use corporate networks for… [Continue Reading]

  Cisco to pay $8.6 million for supplying the US government with software known to be insecure

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 11:10am CEST par Mark Wyciślik-Wilson

  Cisco has agreed to pay $8.6 million to settle a claim that it sold video surveillance software to the American government even though it was aware it contained security vulnerabilities. A total of fifteen US states filed a case under the False Claims Act after Homeland Security, the Secret Service, the Army, the Navy, the Marines, the Air Force and the Federal Emergency Management Agency all purchased flawed software from Cisco. Rather than improving security as desired, the complainants said that Cisco's software actually made systems less secure.

  Lost in the world of endless scrolling

  Publié: août 1, 2019, 11:08am CEST par Randall C. Kennedy

  Can you help me? I seem to be lost. I was surfing the Internet for funny cat videos and I stumbled onto this "web page." Or, at least, I thought it was a page. Now, I’m not so sure. I’ve been scrolling for a while now, but I can’t seem to find a way out. Every time I think I’ve reached the end, I find myself in yet another "page." Yet I have no recollection of clicking a link or taking any direct action. It just sort of…happened. I think I remember where I started from. There was this link… [Continue Reading]
