Fingerprint sensors on their way to more smartphones

Fingerprint authentication will become more common on smartphones of all prices
as sensors get cheaper, and Google's integration of the technology in the next
version of Android will make it much easier for app developers and service
providers to make use of them.

UND Eliminates Data Overload with iDashboards

Struggling with data overload from fact books and static reporting, UND sought a
solution that would be used internally and externally, pulling data from their
different systems, databases and spreadsheets. Read more to find out why staff
at UND are now more enthusiastic about looking at the data.

The one-minute security manager

Many organizations today do not feel that they can afford to have a dedicated
information security manager or analyst. This responsibility often falls to an
existing staff member with other responsibilities. While far from ideal, it is
possible to have some impact on your security posture when it is not your
full-time focus. From the IDG Contributor Network.

INSIDER: IoT is the password killer we've been waiting for

IoT, with its tiny screens and headless devices, will drive an authentication
revolution. It's a short leap from the kind of two-factor authentication used on
the Apple Watch to proximity-based authentication that does away with any user
interaction. (Insider - free registration required.)

Software developers aren't implementing encryption correctly

Despite a big push to use encryption to fight security breaches, lack of
expertise among developers and overly complex libraries have led to widespread
implementation failures.

INSIDER: Macros big again with cybercriminals

Up to a year ago, most phishing emails were all about tricking users into
clicking on malicious links that led to malware downloads. Starting last fall,
however, the use of attachments increased eight-fold, and that increase has
persisted to this day, according to a new report. (Insider - free registration

Opinion: Linksys Smart Wi-Fi makes a stupid Guest network

A recent article pointed out that Linksys and Belkin routers are incapable of
offering over-the-air encryption (WEP, WPA or WPA2) on their Guest wireless
networks. On top of this, their Guest networks use a captive portal, which is
confusing at best. I verified these problems and found even more issues with the
Guest network created by a Linksys Smart WiFi router.

INSIDER: Banks get attacked four times more than other industries

According to a new report from Websense Security Labs, the average number of
attacks against financial services institutions is four times higher than that
of companies in other industries. In addition, a third of all initial-stage
reconnaissance attacks target financial institutions. (Insider - free

The NetUSB router flaw, Part 2: Detection and mitigation

Without a comprehensive list of routers vulnerable to the NetUSB flaw, the
burden falls on us to test our routers. This requires scanning for port 20005 on

for open TCP/IP LAN side ports using Windows, OS X and Android.
