IDG Contributor Network: New Gartner Magic Quadrant shakes up the file sharing world

A common remark from me is frustration about the huge number of companies competing in the enterprise file sharing and synchronization (EFSS) space. Honestly, the number of companies that send pitches to me on a weekly basis claiming to be highly differentiated from all the others is frustrating.It must be all the more frustrating for enterprise organizations that need to chose an EFSS vendor. With so many in the market, it is a confusing and bewildering decision to make, which is, after all, why analyst firms exist. While Gartner, Forrester, IDC and their ilk receive much criticism around suggestions that they are both behind the times and commercially conflicted, the fact is they bring a degree of robustness to technology assessments.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Black Hat: ATM spits out cash after chip and pin hack

We’ve been told that EMV (Europay, MasterCard and Visa) chip-equipped cards have an added layer of security, making them more secure and harder to clone than cards with only a magnetic stripe. But Rapid7 security research manager Tod Beardsley said, “The state of chip and pin security is that it’s a little oversold.”Black Hat USA attendees who watched an ATM spit out hundreds of dollars might tend to agree. The demonstration was part of Hacking Next-Gen ATMs: From Capture to Cashout which was presented by Rapid7’s Weston Hecker. The abstract of his talk said the system he devised could “cash out around $20,000/$50,000 in 15 minutes.”To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here

Black Hat: We need agency focused on fixing internet’s problems

The country needs a federal agency akin to the National Institutes of Health in order to fix the problems with the internet, keynoter Dan Kaminsky yesterday told a record crowd of more than 6,400 at Black Hat 2016.Private companies are dealing with the security problems they face without sharing the solutions or pushing for the underlying engineering changes that are needed to make the internet more secure, says Kaminsky, who famously discovered a serious vulnerability in DNS, which underpins the internet.The solution is a central agency to address those engineering challenges. He says all the money that is spent piecemeal on battling security needs to be channeled to this agency so it has the resources and bureaucratic bulk to escape being derailed by transient public officeholders whose policies can change dramatically and quickly.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
