	Gartner: Top trends in IT security technology National Harbor, MD. -- Gartner kicked off its annual Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit 2014 by pointing to the top threat challenges heading into next year — and added that in the future, the term IT security will give way to “digital security” to encompass newer challenges, such as the Internet of Things.+More on Network World: Gartner: 7 major trends forcing IT security pros to change | Gartner: The Top 10 IT altering predictions for 2014 | Gartner: Top 10 future strategic IT predictions+To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More RESOURCE COMPLIMENTS OF: Guidance Software The Impact of EnCase Cybersecurity for Incident Response. A global automobile manufacturer opened its doors to Forrester Consulting to conduct a detailed study of the benefits realized from the use of EnCase Cybersecurity. The study revealed users can expect: 89% reduction in the time it takes to identify threats and develop remediation plan; 388% return over three years; and a four month payback period.

Learn More Will perimeter firewalls give way to 'RASP'? NATIONAL HARBOR, MD -- If the firewall isn’t dead it may be old and sick and not up to the job anymore, while an emerging technology called “Runtime Application Self-Protection” (RASP) could take over most of its duties. That was a matter of debate between two Gartner consultants sparring this morning at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit 2014 in National Harbor, Md. Joseph Feiman argued ardently that RASP—described as an instrumentation of runtime in servers or clients to protect applications against attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting and unauthorized access—is basically a better approach than traditional firewalls. Gartner analyst Greg Young, however, raised possible downsides, asking, “Why are we suddenly going to have this magic revolution?”To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More New software targets hard-to-understand privacy policies The Privacy Icons browser add-on translates websites' privacy policies into nine easy-to-grasp categories Read More WHITE PAPER: Netscout Systems Inc. Real-Time Application-Centric Operations Visibility This EMA whitepaper examines the move towards application/service performance visibility within IT operations, and in particular the network-based delivery of those applications and services and the role that network-based visibility can and should play. Learn More US intelligence agency wants brain-like algorithms for complex information processing Getting computers to think like humans has been a scientific goal for years – IBM recently said it found a way to make transistors that could be formed into virtual circuitry that mimics human brain functions. It is technology like that that the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) is looking to develop as well. IARPA, the high-risk, high-reward arm of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, will next month hold a Proposers Day to explain one of its new projects it says could revolutionize machine intelligence by constructing algorithms that utilize the same data representations, transformations, and learning rules as those employed and implemented by the brain. Read More Microsoft introduces Interflow: Sharing cybersecurity threats in near real-time Microsoft announced Interflow, a new platform for sharing cybersecurity threats in near real-time. Although it’s currently available only in “private preview” for Microsoft Active Protections Program (MAPP) members, security threat information will be shared faster, creating a “collectively stronger cybersecurity ecosystem.” In the long run that means protecting people better and more quickly.What exactly does it means to share security and threat information using Interflow?
