Mobile data is very easy to exploit since security is negligible, at best. It's like shooting fish in a barrel, or, for that matter, hacking Anthem and/or Home Depot and/or Target.

Hmmm, Verizon and AT&T. I don't know why but this sounds an awful lot like the voice of Ma Bell. It sounds like she's all broken up and trying to pull it together. And this ruling just hurts. The sense of entitlement, to...

Big Data isn't catching on because no one really knows what it actually means. Sure, there is a lot of hype and buzzswording going on, but realistically speaking, Big Data and what it means to industry seems...

In the fevered rush to make all medical records EHR, there hasn't been one meaningful discussion by the industry as to security. I would think the Anthem hack would have put that particular subject matter front and...
In reply to: Secure EHR, wherefore art thou?
Funny how this particular technology did not result in the laying off en masse of city employees. I would have thought automation on this level would nix the need for hundreds of low level clerks answering the phon...

Pebble's campaign and subsequent funding is a great way to learn how to generate VC. All you have to do is make big promises and appeal to delusional people with more money than brain matter.

Actually, I am getting a bit worry about this and relative news. I strongly believe that as long we create A.I machines with similar logic to humans we slowly slowly underestimate our freedom and of course I don't mean any...

I agree with you completely. Security of data must be number one, and every possible step must be taken to avoid an external data breach. This is why security has to be an ongoing process with every company. System security...
In reply to: Re: McGladrey and Data breach advice
Very good point. I think you are absolutely right. The least attention you get, the more apt you are to get away with the crime.

"We have fought in every clime and place Where we could take a gun" Given the nature of people, it is inevitable that there will be fighting in space. But, is that a bad thing? Wouldn't it be wonderful if, someday soon,...

Of course being like a NoSQL database, in regards to data access, is not the same as being a NoSQL database when it comes to ease of development and schema flexibility in practice. Lots of relational databases now offer...

OOH, The internet companies are mad because they can't hike rates for a "fast lane' creating a class system in internet speeds. I love how the FCC said that they listened and moved forward according to the public when it...

Any AI system might lack the imagination to become a movie style super villian, but a minor flaw in the 'learning' portion of an AI system could cause havoc. The movies take these ideas to the Nth degree where rthe 'logical'...

@Mak63 - Oh! how I agree. If Verizon and AT&T are opposed, you can bet it is because they will somehow be hit in the pocketbook. If there is a "fast lane", I am sure it is worth a bundle to the ISP and certain companies...

Not to mention that just because the title of the bill included the words "net neutrality" doesn't mean it really has ANYTHING to do with net neutrality. Sadly, the politicians know that most people are asleep at the wheel...
In reply to: Re: Net Neutrality and Government
The internet is the new phone company and thus the FCC votes that the net be treated as if it were a utlity. This is big mistake because ANYTIME the government gets involved, it's in the end never good. ...

I'm definitely getting a laugh out of all the hatred for 'fog computing' here in the comments. Now, it's no secret that our industry is bloated with unnecessary buzzwords and impenetrable jargon, but it's often surprising...

Time to Reconsider Enterprise Email Strategy
Cost, time, and risk. It's the demand trifecta vying for the attention of both technology professionals and attorneys charged with balancing the expectations of their clients and business units with the hard reality of the current financial and regulatory climate. Sometimes, organizations assume high levels of risk as a result of their inability to meet the costs involved in data protection. In other instances, it's time that's of the essence, as with a data breach.
