	The Camera That Killed the Jeep – Part 2 So you may recall from my last posting on this subject that I have a Wi-Fi camera that can drain the battery in Donna Diamond's brand new Jeep Cherokee simply by being powered up nearby the car.

Learn More Credit-Card Fraud has Met Its Match: Ondot Systems New CardControl Solution My recent column on minimizing credit-card fraud suggested getting retailers out of the loop via a proxy relationship with credit-card processors. This at least minimizes the number of entities with access to sensitive information and could absolutely eliminate theft of such data from retailers, because they would never have the data. Read More Are these the first OpenFlow 1.4 switches ready for prime time? This may be hard to believe, but OpenFlow is now about four years old, and late last year version 1.4 of OpenFlow was unveiled. This week, startup Pica8 became the first vendor to support 1.4, which may be the first OpenFlow version that's ready for prime time. OpenFlow features a number of new features, improvements, and one change. The new features are: Read More Enterprises Are Not Monitoring Access to Sensitive Data If you want to make a cybersecurity professional uncomfortable, simply utter these two word: 'Data exfiltration.' Why will this term garner an emotional response? Because data exfiltration is a worst-case outcome of a cyber-attack - think Target, the NY Times, Google Aurora, Titan Rain, etc. Simply stated, 'data exfiltration' is a quasi-military term used to describe the theft of sensitive...

Learn More Catching up with the guy who 'live-blogged' bin Laden raid Three years ago today, software consultant/coffee shop proprietor Sohaib Athar was working on his laptop at home in Pakistan when he tweeted: "Helicopter hovering above Abbottabad at 1AM (is a rare event)." And then: "A huge window-shaking bang here in Abbottabad Cantt. I hope it's not the start of something nasty :-S." It was ... for Osama bin Laden. Read More The software defined enterprise WAN is now a business imperative It seems that we in the networking industry have been talking about evolving the WAN for well over 20 years now. The traditional "hub and spoke" WAN that we've all grown accustomed to was ideally suited for client/server computing, where users were in branches and applications were located in the data center. Read More How many screens does one person reallfy need? Not long ago, my favorite monitor gave up the ghost, and I'm still in mourning. It was a splendid 21.3-inch Samsung SyncMaster 214T with a wonderful 1600 x 1200 resolution that made it especially useful for viewing long documents and tall images. But one day it just wouldn't turn on any more, and a quick consultation revealed that it was fried beyond reasonable repair. Unfortunately, no one makes non-widescreen...

View the videos in our software solutions channel View Now JumpCloud just made cron obsolete For just about as long as I have been in technology, when I spoke to engineers about having a specific task run on schedule I was told that we could "run a cron job" to make it happen. Over the years I realized that sys admins and engineers had a love/hate relationship with cron. It was a simple way of running repetitive tasks over and over again on a schedule, but it was just too simple. Read More How one woman kept her pregnancy a secret from online advertisers By now, the story of Target's role in informing a Minnesota father of his teenage daughter's pregnancy has become sort of an urban legend about the risks of data-based advertising. Read More How smartphones won the tablet war You might think that Apple's financial results wouldn't mean that much for enterprise IT folks. For the most part you'd be right, but reading between the lines and connecting the dots can sometimes reveal stuff that matters far beyond the hushed halls of Apple's Cupertino headquarters. Read More Why we should preserve useless, old software Open Source (and Free) Software provides a number of obvious, and often talked about, benefits – such as that whole "freedom" thing that the kids today like so much. Read More Judge to Microsoft: Hand over cloud data no matter where in the world it is stored "The U.S. government doesn't have the power to search a home in another country, nor should it have the power to search the content of email stored overseas," wrote Microsoft Deputy General Counsel David Howard.
