	Gartner to IT security pros: Get ready for 'digital business' National Harbor, Md. -- There’s a “digital business” revolution coming and IT security professionals need to grasp the significance early on to be prepared to address whatever security needs arise. That was the message from Gartner analyst Jorge Lopez in the closing keynote at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit today. Digital business isn’t simply represented by what will be a growth in the so-called “Internet of Things.” IoT connectivity will be part of cars, trash cans, road sensors, medical devices, clothing, toys, parking meters, LED lighting and much more. Beyond this, the digital business revolution means what will happen with the information that can be gleaned from IoT and shared for business purposes.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More RESOURCE COMPLIMENTS OF: Citrix Systems Citrix NetScaler: A powerful defense against DoS attacks Denial of service (DOS) attacks are on the rise and not only for large enterprises.

"Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cell phone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple—get a warrant," they ruled (pdf).To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More Carnegie Mellon system lets you get to the good parts of video, fast While Video has become ubiquitous thanks mostly to smartphones it doesn’t mean you want to actually watch all of it. Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists say they have invented a video highlighting technique called LiveLight that can automatically pick out action in videos shot by smartphones, GoPro cameras or Google Glass users. +More on Network World: NASA’s coolest 'way-out' future projects+ LiveLight constantly evaluates action in a video, looking for visual novelty and ignoring repetitive or eventless sequences, to create a summary that enables a viewer to get the gist of what happened. What it produces is a miniature video trailer. Although not yet comparable to a professionally edited video, it can help people quickly review a long video of an event, a security camera feed, or video from a police cruiser's windshield camera, according to Carnegie researchers.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More WEBCAST: Network Instruments 3 Choices for Effective UC Management This webcast discusses five best practices on how to successfully optimize and manage UC, as well as how to gain clear picture of overall performance and quickly troubleshoot when the inevitable issues arise.
