	Emerging networking technology used by Apple, Cisco will frustrate firewalls Today’s security software is ineffective against an emerging networking technology already in use by Apple for its Siri voice-recognition software, according to research presented at the Black Hat hacking conference this week.The technology, called Multipath TCP (MPTCP), is a souped-up sibling of TCP, a cornerstone Internet protocol for transferring data packets between computers. Cisco and Juniper have also put MPTCP in some of their equipment.But while TCP can only use one connection path to send data, MPTCP can simultaneously use different connection paths, such as Wi-Fi and a mobile phone’s data connection, which results in better performance and resiliency.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WHITE PAPER: BMC Software Meeting the Exploding Demand for New IT Services In this eBook, explore the top trends driving the New IT for IT Service Management, and how leading organizations are evolving to focus on end-user experience.

Cisco has quietly launched a new fabric interconnect for its Unified Computing System servers, which is designed to address requirements for smaller compute domains. There have been reports that the 6324 Fabric Interconnect is either a component of, or actually is a “mini UCS” targeted at mid-market enterprises and SMBs. Cisco Systems The 6324 is integrated directly into the blade server chassis – where Cisco fabric extender modules typically go -- to simplify connectivity between the servers and a lossless 10G Ethernet network fabric, especially in space constrained environments. Up to now, UCS fabric interconnects have been external to the blade server chassis, which requires more data center real estate and might not be as scalable: if each blade server chassis has its own fabric interconnect instead of sharing an external one, you have many more fabric interconnects managing virtual ports.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Top techs the CIA thinks are hot Through its investment firm called In-Q-Tel, the CIA funds companies, mostly start-ups, to push forward technologies deemed useful to government intelligence agencies.

Learn more Security Primer: How malware is classified The security industry was born at a time when the threat landscape consisted primarily of computer viruses that were spread by floppy disks. Antivirus was the name of the game, and the term “computer virus” was a common topic of conversation everywhere from boardrooms to dining rooms.Today, the threat landscape has evolved immensely. The security industry has grown to address many different kinds of malware and other threats. Accurately describing these threats gives us the ability to discuss them in a common language and can help t raise awareness and educate the general public.In this video we give an overview the major criteria that are used to classify malware – propagation, harm done and resiliency. In future videos we’ll describe each of these in greater detail.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More 10 tech pros who push their downtime to the limits Fresh perspective "Image by Photo courtesy Joe TaitWith pressure on IT managers as great as it's ever been, you can't blame tech leaders for wanting nothing more than to head to the couch after a long day.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WHITE PAPER: Xirrus Optimize Your Wi-Fi Network Designing wireless networks for coverage is no longer enough.

The Internet of Things Brings Far-Reaching Security Threats WASHINGTON – Security pros routinely cite poor cyber hygiene as one of their top concerns. But if they're lying awake at night worried about lazy passwords and software updates going ignored, just think of the headaches that will come once thermostats, pacemakers and just about everything else comes online.When Randy Garrett contemplates the Internet of Things, he sees a colossal security challenge.MORE ON NETWORK WORLD: 12 most powerful Internet of Things companies Garrett, a program manager at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), worries that, in the exuberance to embed sensors in a galaxy of devices and bring them onto the network, backers of the Internet of Things will unwittingly create a virtually limitless set of new threat vectors.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More How to fix your Internet connection in Ubuntu Linux Ubuntu's networking should work out of the box with NetworkManager, but sometimes things go wrong.
