Priorities for Reversing Services Decay

The state of the high tech services industry is in flux as never before. With
changing patterns of software/solution consumption and pressure on traditional
service delivery models increasing, many leaders "get it" and want to move
services forward. But we are often reactive given the reality of the world we
live in.

Darlene Storm: Music playing 55 feet away could covertly activate Android mobile malware


Security researchers warned that the music playing at Starbucks, light
from the TV, vibration from riding in your car, or even magnets in NFC readers
could potentially trigger malware hidden in Android devices. Command and control
trigger messages could be sent from up to 55 feet away based on acoustic,
visual, magnetic and vibrational signaling. Mobile malware using sensor-based
channels would be nearly impossible to detect.

BYOD has moved beyond smartphones and tablets to PCs. In fact, about 25% of
employees in businesses with more than 10 employees have bought the primary PC
they use for work, meaning companies are buying fewer PCs. Do you think BYOD is
to blame for slack PC sales?
