	Encrypt everything, urges Internet Architecture Board The Internet Architecture Board (IAB) has issued a sweeping directive "for protocol designers, developers, and operators to make encryption the norm for Internet traffic ," even while acknowledging that such an approach will create major obstacles for some network operations.The statement also leaves unaddressed what will be inevitable howls of protest from the law enforcement and national security sectors, whose surveillance activities have long motivated those pushing for ubiquitous encryption.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   : Brother International Corp.   Virtual Training Programs for Remote Sales Agents Vehicle Protection Plus can train their sales agents, and get them productive, regardless of location using OmniJoin web conferencing.

Learn More Bandwidth-hungry researchers gain 100G trans-Atlantic network connection The pressure is on research networks to jack up bandwidth to support ridiculously fast supercomputers, and this week four of those networks will demo their new 100Gbps trans-Atlantic connection at the SuperComputing conference (SC14) in New Orleans. Read More   Cisco rounds out collaboration portfolio with Squared Cisco's annual Collaboration Summit kicked off on Monday in LA. I believe this is the second collaboration event under GM Rowan Trollope, who has reshaped Cisco's business unit. During last year's event, Trollope was pretty matter-of-fact in acknowledging that collaboration at Cisco needed a face-lift. The various products didn't work well together and, in his words, Cisco technology was too complicated to deploy and hard to use. While he wasn't ready to discuss his long-term vision for the industry, he did say that his initial focus was on improving interoperability and making the products easier to use.Since his arrival in late 2012, Cisco has upgraded many of its hardware platforms, improved product interoperability, and rebuilt the interface for WebEx. Despite all of the work and upgrades, Cisco hasn't really come out with anything new under Trollope's tenure. Don't get me wrong – the new WebEx CMR is great, as are the new hardware endpoints, but I've considered those improvements on products that already existed.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   WEBCAST: Ciena Corporation   Security+ Guide to Network Security Fundamentals Serious IT breaches happen too often.

The government group that has allegedly been spying on us, known as the "NSA", is actually a cover group for a little-known organization with headquarters near the North Pole.

Despite the fact that many people have come to rely on their mobile devices 24/7, most users don't appear to be getting any smarter about security, researchers say. The training module presents statistics about devices lost in airports and follows up with steps people can take to avoid misplacing their gadgets. Then the fun begins. Users assume the role of a Mario-type character in an online game, and they have 90 seconds to find 12 lost or stolen mobile devices in an airport based on the information they just learned. The user-controlled character runs through the airport — complete with check-in counters, a food court, a security conveyor belt and trams between terminals — and there's a rewarding "ding" for every device the user finds. "Nobody ever gets them all the first time, and they want to play it again," Lohrmann says.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here(Insider Story) Read More   Senator demands answers about DOJ mobile phone surveillance planes A reported mobile phone surveillance program at the U.S. Department of Justice raises serious privacy questions, a U.S. senator said Monday.The DOJ program, which reportedly uses cell-tower mimicking equipment on airplanes to target the mobile phone locations of criminals, raises questions about how many "innocent" people's mobile phone data is also swept up in the operation, said Senator Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat. The DOJ has not confirmed the existence of the surveillance program, reported in a Wall Street Journal article on Thursday.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   10 enterprise Internet of Things deployments with actual results A look at some real-world IoT deployments that have actually delivered on the technology's massive promise.
