Learn more My Two Cents on the Security and Market Implications of the End of Windows XP I know there have been a substantial number of articles on the end of Windows XP and its implications, but I couldn't resist chiming in. Hey, maybe I was destined to do so since I was one of a few thousand people at the Windows 95 introduction in Redmond (back in the summer of 1995 of course).

In a research note that made the rounds on Wednesday evening, Kuo laid out all of Apple's alleged 2014 product roll-outs, spanning everything from the iWatch to the iPhone and more. Read More Research: Attacks on HTML5-based apps infect smartphones, spread like a 'worm' By 2016, experts estimate that over 50% of mobile apps will be based on HTML5 technology and coded, at least partially, in JavaScript. Apps are usually written in a language native to a specific platform, but developers only need to create one HTML5-based app and it runs on any platform. While that's handy for app developers, it's also "just a disaster waiting to happen," according to Syracuse University...

Swann's HD RemoteCam is for you Read More iWatch may be on track for 2014 launch, may include UV light exposure sensor The WWDC lottery is over and we can now start looking ahead to what we can only hope are exciting product announcements from Apple down the road. While new iPhones are all but a given for 2014, there remains a lot of speculation surrounding Apple's now mythical and long-rumored iWatch. Read More Managing IT Risk Associated with Mobile Computing Security When BYOD was coming to fruition a few years ago, it had a sudden and deep impact on IT risk. Why? Many CISOs I spoke with at the time said it was purely a matter of scale. All of a sudden, large enterprises had thousands of additional devices on their networks and they struggled to figure out what these devices were doing and how these activities impacted organizational risk.

This white paper discusses a multitude of reasons why moving to a 10GbE infrastructure today makes sense. View Now Cisco's mixed messages In positioning its OpFlex policy protocol and the declarative policy programming model in which it operates, Cisco marketing officials noted repeatedly how it was an optimal southbound protocol alternative to OpenFlow, OVSDB and the imperative network programmability model preferred by many others in the industry, including VMware - sans OpenFlow.

Read More QFabric vs MetaFabric: What's the difference? I believe Juniper was the first mainstream network vendor to use the term "fabric" aggressively to describe its next-generation network architecture when the company announced QFabric back in early 2011. There may have been another vendor that used it first, but Juniper made it mainstream. Since then, almost every network vendor uses the term "fabric" broadly, and Juniper itself announced its next...

I've had several interesting conversations with attendees at recent Network World Wireless Infrastructure events regarding the future of enterprise-class wireless LAN systems.
