agreed - but even if the HVAC company was given RDP access to use PM & Billing SW - there is no reason that they should have had access to anything other than what they required. Even within SMB accounting software...

The idea that a contractor was on a shared network with other systems is mind-boggling. The technology to segement networks and limit access of users has been around for years. Even in small environments we segment...

Frankly, severral of the posts about this article are more than a little silly; the scary word 'drone' makes a lot of otherwise sensible (or not) people drift off into night sweats; the 'community outrage' over a radio controlled...

Snowden will be forever condemned for leaking classified NSA documents, but his actions have sparked a necessary dialogue on government surveillance. American Civil Liberties Union principal technologist Christopher Soghoian,...

You must have missed the new layer of Dodd-Frank regulations. Banking remains one of the most heavily regulated industries in the country.
In reply to: Re: Highly regulated banking industry?
Interesting to note the steps Snowden took to avoid being traced by speaking to SXSW. According to a Washington Post report today, he used a Google Hangout videoconferencing program that ran through seven proxy servers to...

It's interesting to see how a nation that earned its reputation as a financial haven for those wanting to protect their wealth has evolved into a data haven for those wanting to protect their digital privacy.

There must be some counter-examples of ways banks have applied technology in recent decades that we'd hate to see healthcare emulate. Hidden fees? Arguably, healthcare already has that down.

It's refreshing to see fiscal discipline in at least one government sector. Like every private sector CIO, agency CIOs must figure out how to shift their budget dollars from keep-the-lights-on work to more innovative initiatives....

The proposed FY15 Federal IT may appear to make sense. But former Air Force CIO, William Lord, makes a great point elsewhere on our site (Breaking The Cycle Of Legacy IT Investment ) that failing to modernize legacy systems...

What potential can you see for wearables in the hospital? Is this likely to be a category of technology hospital employees will embrace or resent for the way it tracks their activities? My guess is that how the technology...
In reply to: Potential ... and potential stumbling blocks?
This is good that, administration focussing on govt development projects.
In reply to: Nice
That sounds like a great idea for this technology. So much of wearable tech seems to be just another gadget for its own sake, but anything that cuts down on healthcare errors is worthwhile.

With the Bitcoin, so much inner security leaks opened up and hope system should be rebust.

vchristy601, this list does a great job of illustrating the challenges policy makers have in front of them. One thing's for sure, these are questions that go beyond the FAA's jurisdictional air space. Even if we work out...

There's two sides to that (bit) coin though. The benefits of bitcoin like: instantaneous transfer, lack of fees, no requirement of middlemen, anonymity, are features that simply cannot be found anywhere in the banking system...

I think the key with Win 8 is committing to the one OS across every platform. Since MS has a desktop mode in the x86 version that makes it hard to keep the same OS and UI when moving to ARM based devices. The...

Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
