The pace of new business ventures keeps on developing from expanding customer self-service to consistently connecting all your back office and in-the-field applications. Simultaneously, there is desperation to mobile-enabled existing applications, coordinate with the cloud, and start improving on the most recent trend of interfacing Internet of Things (IoT) devices to your existing framework.

When organizations address every one of these new integration challenges independently, utilizing a patch

Manufacturing today entails immediate yet informed decision making.  However, with increasing levels of sophistication and production, senior leadership often has limited time to make optimum decisions pertaining to the number of unanticipated issues surfacing from time to time.  These issues—if not managed properly and timely—can lead to defects and wastes.

Top global enterprises are utilizing innovation and creative ways to enable prompt decision making.  Specifically, they are using Internet o

If you are the parent of a child or teen who uses the internet, here are some stats you need to know:

YouTube uses a recommendation algorithm to help people view things they’d like to see. Recently, the algorithm seemingly encouraged pedophiles (YouTube would have no way of knowing this) to watch videos of children playing at home, videos that the family members uploaded.

A report from the New York Times detailed how YouTube had been exploiting minor children through the automated recommendation system. According to the report, researchers at the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society at H

The digital industry has witnessed a massive transformation, owing to the rise of IoT devices and its application in various industries. In order to utilize the benefits of these devices, IoT security measures are adopted to prevent any malicious or illicit activity from affecting the devices. Moreover, concerns related to data breach and increased incidents of cybercrime are also leading to increased investment to develop secure network solutions and services. Factors such as rise in number of

An alarming new study is out, and if you are a parent, you should take note…children as young as 8-years old are being sexually exploited via social media. This is a definite downturn from past research, and it seems like one thing is to blame: live streaming.

YouTube serves up videos of kids, in clothing, that pedophiles consume and share as if it is child porn. It’s gotten so bad that YouTube has had to disable the comments sections of videos with kids in them.

Apps like TikTok are very popular

To sum it up briefly, no, they don’t care, not as a principle in itself. Most ISPs would happily sell your data if they thought it constituted a solid business decision, and it would be unwise to entirely trust an ISP to do right by your data. It’s far too valuable for that, especially when it’s combined with the data and browsing habits of millions of other users. There might be exceptions when it comes to small municipal providers that are run locally, but they often have a different setup,

Internet security is an over-all phase that represents the many different activities individuals and companies decide to use shelter computers or computer networks which were attached to the Internet. One out of the everyday truths behind Internet security is that often the Internet by itself is not a secure environment. The Internet was originally considered as an open, carelessly linked computer network that could facilitate the no cost share of ideas and information. Data redirected over the

To those of us consider Tom Cruise the movie star of our day or even Grunge as the music we grew up with, looking at millennials, and the way they view life, is fascinating. These “kids” or young adults, many are brilliant. They really do define “disruption”.

However, that doesn’t mean that this tech savvy generation is always right. In fact, a new study shows just the opposite when it comes to internet safety. Though, they can also teach us a few things and are definitely up to speed on the valu

How many times have you read, or at least caught a headline, of the latest high profile missing child case? How many stories have we heard about the kid who got lost on a hike? His body was found several miles from where he’d been last seen, concluding a several-day search.

What if he had had an iPhone on his person at the time he wandered off in the middle of some vast woods? Sure he could call, but then what? Android and iPhones have a “find my phone” feature that a parent can track down a lost

Here’s one for the know-it-alls: Kids are 35 percent more likely to become victims of identity theft than are adults. Betcha didn’t know that! This startling news comes from a 2015 Javelin Strategy & Release study.

Needless to say, the bulk of parents aren’t on top of this problem, unaware that thieves go after children’s SSNs like two-year-olds grabbing at candy. Thieves know that kids (and their parents) don’t monitor their credit reports. Thieves know that they can get away with their crime al

Identity thieves are after children’s Social Security numbers. With this number, a thief can do so many things like open a credit card account and rent an apartment. Kids’ SSNs have great appeal to crooks because:

• A child’s record is usually very clean.
• This means fertile opportunities for new credit lines.
• Kids usually don’t check their credit reports and thus the fraud can go undetected for years.

Parents should consider putting a freeze on their kids’ credit. Simply getting the credit monitored w

There’s the war on drugs, the war on terrorism, the war on cancer and the war on cyber threats. In fact, more people are vulnerable to cyber attacks than they are to the first three threats combined.

So pervasive is this threat that President Obama fully recognizes that everyone is at risk. He even signed an executive order recently in the hopes of promoting the sharing of more cybersecurity related data between the government and the private sector.

Recently President Obama presented a speech at

If you’ve ever watched virtually any spy flick or James Bond movie you’re familiar with “bugs” – those little dime-sized metallic things that the bad guys would secretly stick under someone’s desk to record any conversation in the room—picked up by a receiver in their car. Or, the phone was “tapped” – the device was inside the receiver.

How primitive! Because these days, all of your computer, mobile, tablet and online activities can be “bugged” – without someone ever coming into your home or offi
