An End-to-End Approach to Data Protection

Traditional approaches to data protection are no longer enough. Why not? Because
data volumes are exploding. Because there's little or no tolerance for data loss
and downtime.

More NSA leaks to come, Guardian says

Security Agency collects personal data have not been published yet, journalists
from U.K. newspaper The Guardian said on Tuesday.

Darlene Storm: Hacking the Internet of Things at DerbyCon: Weaponizing your coffee pot


If you are not a morning person, then you might be a bit brain-dead until you
have serious doses of caffeine. So if your high-tech coffee pot connected to the
Internet of Things had been hijacked by a bad guy, how would you even know if
it, or another of your connected appliances, were being used against
you? At the security conference DerbyCon 3.0, Daniel Buentello gave a
very interesting presentation titled "Weaponizing your coffee pot."

NSA encryption-defeating efforts will backfire, privacy advocates say

The U.S. National Security Agency's efforts to defeat encryption will backfire

to aid U.S. companies with cybersecurity, a group of privacy advocates said
Tuesday.

Antone Gonsalves: Why we fear the mobile wallet

risk framework from the ground up.
