CES 2014: Trends In Wearable Tech And Data Privacy Concerns

Paraphrasing the song made famous in the 1960s by The Troggs and wonderfully updated by Bill Nighy in "Love Actually" Big Data is really all around us. We are making more and more data about ourselves available to a broader audience. But what if that data is stolen? Is it useful to anyone?. A look at the new products coming from this year's Consumer Electronics Show is proof that 2014 will be the year that wearable technology moves from The Valley of the Geeks in Main Street. Google Glass is perhaps the most feted piece of wearable tech but there are dozens of wristbands that track our activity, apps that we can log our meals in and devices for capturing all manner of biometric data. Intel even released an earbud that tracks your pulse and reminds you get more exercise. The link for this article located at CSO Online is no longer available.

Security Flaws Overview: 2005 Trends And Data Analysis Challenges

After three years of modest or no gains, the number of publicly reported vulnerabilities jumped in 2005, boosted by easy-to-find bugs in web applications. Yet, questions remain about the value of analyzing current databases, whose data rarely correlates easily. A survey of four major vulnerability databases found that the number of flaws counted by each in the past five years differed significantly. However, three of the four databases exhibited a relative plateau in the number of flaws publicly disclosed in 2002 through 2004. And, every database saw a significant increase in their count of the flaws disclosed in 2005. . A few common themes emerged from the data as well. In 2005, easy-to-find flaws in web applications were likely responsible for the majority of the increase, the database managers said in interviews with SecurityFocus. However, some of the increase came from a doubling in the number of flaws released by large software companies. The link for this article located at TheRegister.co.uk is no longer available. . The rising number of documented flaws underscores patterns in software security gaps following an extended period of consistency..
