Data theft or data leakage can harm a company’s goodwill a lot. Data related to business strategies, marketing strategies, financial records, employees’ information and client’s information are the delicate data that a company needs to secure. If a rival company gets the knowledge of business strategies of the competitor, it can ruin all the future plans of the business. The competitor can plan its steps accordingly. The same case is with marketing strategies, it can lower the estimated profit of the company.  Employees’ information is essential to secure as they can be exploited by the competitors in the market. And the client’s data is the most precious asset for the company. Once information related to clients leak, the company loses the trust of its customers and may result in a big loss.
Companies always look to get some sensitive information about their competitor. They may bribe employees with a handsome sum of money to leak information. Companies should be aware of such data threats; the majority of the organizations do not pay required attention to this issue. More than 50 percent of the companies suffer some sort of data breach and suffer loss. When they suffer the consequences of data breach, they cannot do anything except to cry over the spilt milk. It’s better to take precautions than to experience loss in terms of finance as well as reputation.

Motorola is no stranger to launching phones in bolder hues, and it's not letting up just because Google is at the helm. Case in point: Verizon has started carrying blue versions of the Droid RAZR M and Droid RAZR HD at the same prices (free and $100) as their subdued black and white counterparts. Our known affinity for the color is a bit tempered here, however. Like the pink Droid RAZR M that surfaced a few months back, the color only goes around the edges -- both RAZRs are otherwise as black as can be. Still, that little splash of blue may be enough to stand out in a frequently drabworld.

Data security is the process of securing your database from the unwanted access of unauthorized access. They are basically malware which affects the security of files. Trojan, Virus or Spyware are the different types of programs that can affect a catalog badly. These programs can steal, leak, alter and destroy confidential information and personal files and may cause a business to suffer from a huge loss of data. Therefore, businesses need to take anticipatory actions to prevent information loss.
There are different types of data protection technologies that give people the opportunity to secure their records. Following are some of those technologies:
1.       Data Encryption: It is an encryption technology that encrypts data on a hard drive. It is also known by the name of On-The-Fly Encryption and Transparent Encryption.

2.      
Software Based Mechanism for Data Security: A software based solution that block access to files, folders, program or hard drive. It prevents statistics theft but can be corrupted with malware interference.

3.       Hardware Based Mechanism for Data Security: It blocks read and write access to information and provides a good solution against tampering.

4.       Backup Process: It secures records and gives users the opportunity to recover records.           

5.       Data Masking: This is the process of obscuring sensitive information in a catalog table or cell to prevent its leakage.

6.       Data Erasure: Software based overwriting for destroying figures residing on a hard drive to prevent its leakage once the drive is used again.da
Nowadays, data defense has become a top priority for businesses who want to secure their confidential information. Records safety must be considered by software developers too at the time they develop their software applications. They must provide a facts security feature along with the application to deal with the security problems.
Confidentiality, availability and integrity of statistics are the factors that must be considered for data security; moreover, users should also Secure USB drives when transporting sensitive records. Confidential of information means that information should be available to specific individuals and not anyone else. Availability of data means that facts should be available to the target audience when it is required. Integrity of data means that files should be managed in a way that unauthorized access cannot alter it.  
There are different methods that can be adopted for information protection. You can block access to your files and folders by protecting them through a password. You can encrypt your personal files to prevent unwanted access to data. You can save your confidential records in a USB or burn it on a CD/DVD Rom to ensure you have the back up for your records if it gets lost. Firewall and antivirus programs can also be used for data security.
In short, they are basically malware that affects the confidentiality, availability and integrity of facts and you can deal with it by either using a internet security products or securitysoftware. Different methods can be adopted to protect files from stealth, leakage, alteration and destruction. Therefore, you should have a proper data management system to deal with information security problems.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It's almost time for a new Xbox.
Eight years have passed since Microsoft unveiled the Xbox 360, double the amount of time between the original Xbox debut in 2001 and its high-definition successor's launch in 2005. With the next-generation Xbox expected to be revealed Tuesday, anticipation for the entertainment console's latest evolution is higher than Master Chief's spaceship.
"People get excited about new consoles because consoles represent the future," said Stephen Totilo, editor of gaming site Kotaku.com. "When you buy a new console, you're essentially investing in five years of your future in the hopes that this box won't just be cool the day you buy it, but in five years from now, it will be even cooler."
The platform has been the exclusive home to such popular gaming franchises as sci-fi shoot-'em-up "Gears of War," racing simulator "Forza" and first-person shooter "Halo," starring super-soldier Master Chief. In recent years, Microsoft expanded the console's scope beyond just games, adding streaming media apps and the family-friendly Kinect system.
The next generation of gaming already got off to a rocky start last November when Nintendo launched the Wii U, the successor to the popular Wii system featuring an innovative tablet-like controller yet graphics on par with the Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. Nintendo said it sold just 3.45 million units by the end of March, well below expectations.
Microsoft will likely take aim at Sony during Tuesday's next-generation Xbox unveiling at its headquarters in Redmond, Wash. Sony was first to showcase plans for its upcoming PlayStation 4 — but not the actual box — at an event in New York last February. The reaction to that console, which featured richer graphics and more social features, was mixed.
Totilo said to wow gamers with the next Xbox, Microsoft must show off great games for it that players will crave, as well as technology that feels futuristic. He said there's concern from Xbox fans that Microsoft has lost interest in hardcore gamers with their recent efforts to attract casual gamers with the Kinect, its camera-based system that detects motion.
There will be at least one hardcore game showcased at the Microsoft's event: "Call of Duty: Ghosts," the next chapter in the popular military shooter franchise from "Modern Warfare" developer Infinity Ward. Activison-Blizzard Inc. previously announced that "Ghosts" would be on display Tuesday and will be available for both current and next-generation consoles.
"They wanted 'Call of Duty' on their stage to show off what next gen is capable of," said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. "We're excited about the approach that both Microsoft and Sony are taking to the next generation. Our business, of course, depends on them launching this new hardware, so we want to do everything we can to help."
For the past five years, questions and rumors about a new Xbox have circulated more than the chainsaw on the end of a "Gears of War" rifle. What will the new Xbox be called? How much will it cost? Will it play used video games? Blu-ray discs? Will it be backwards compatible? Must the Kinect always be on? Will it require a connection to the Internet?
It's that rumor about an always-on Xbox which has ignited the most negative comments on social networks, according to research firm Fizziology. Overall, Fizziology said gamers seem to be more jazzed about a potential new Xbox, with 32 percent of the chatter positive compared to 10 percent of the sentiment negative in online conversation.
"I think because people have been waiting a long time, expectations are higher," said Laurent Detoc, North America president of Ubisoft Entertainment. "As a result, they may not be seeing what they anticipated. In the end, from the research we've done, there's a strong appetite for new machines. I have no doubt they're going to sell extremely well."

With the use of USB at mass level to store data, it is more important than ever before to establish strong policies to protect data. According to a research, companies do not focus much on the security of their USB drives. Businessmen are found to distribute data through USBs without the clearance by their IT department. Only a negligible numbers of business heads are known to keep the records of the number of USBs used in their business activities. Companies think that the real security threat to their data is from the hackers and other external powers. But, the biggest threat to their data is from their own employees. Workers transfer delicate data like financial information of the business, information about clients, marketing strategies or tender information at a large volume that can result in a data breach intentionally or unintentionally.
When companies establish a policy regarding data security, these policies should be communicated from the highest level of the hierarchy to the lowest level. Companies should make their employees understand the policies and emphasize to follow those guidelines. Employees ought to answer their superior in order of any policy violation. The company must Mandate a strict policy for employees, highlighting that no employees that no personal storage devices to be connected to the machines that are operational for business purposes. Personal data storing devices can infect the company’s computers or network systems. All the USB devices or other portable devices should be checked carefully by the IT department. Only those portable devices should be connected to the systems that have been authorized by the IT department. It will be helpful if these portable devices are scanned or a regular basis. IT department should track all the records of the USBs And make logs as to who is using what USB device.
All the data that is saved in USB should be encrypted using 256-bit-AES Standards. Encryption gives an extra layer of security to the data. Data can be encrypted to Hardware or software encryption. However, it is recommended to use hardware encryption as it is more reliable. Data encryption prevents data from being lost.
Every piece of information that you save in a USB should have a back up too. If the data gets damaged, it can be recovered from that back up. IT department should have the command to disable a USB drive remotely. If an ex-employee still has the possession of a USB that has been used for business purpose, he may breach data through it. IT department of a company should be able to change the password with full authority without confiscating the portable drives in their possession.
But, the basic policy that company can establish to instruct their employees to keep data security software for their USBs like USB Secure. USB secure Password Protects USB Drives; it also gives password protection to other portable data storing devices. This type of software can provide complete security to the company’s data without any complexity.

'Jurassic Park 4' Production Delayed

Posted by Tom Riddle | 23:43 Categories: , ,

It's been years in the making, but the production of the anticipated sequel Jurassic Park 4 has been further delayed.
Universal announced today that the fourth installment of the sci-fi adventure series based on books by Michael Crichton was put on hold because the studio says it needs more time for development.
PICS: Role Call: Who Got Hired In Hollywood?
"In coordination with filmmakers, Universal has decided to release 'Jurassic Park 4' at a later date giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal’s beloved franchise," Universal said in a statement.
The conception of creating Jurassic Park 4 began over a decade ago and was initially slated for release in 2005, but production was continually delayed due to script revisions and the project eventually fizzled out.
After years of speculation, Universal confirmed in January that the sequel was back on and scheduled for release on June 13, 2014 with production to commence on June 24.

The most recent film in the Jurassic Park franchise, Jurassic Park III, was released in 2001 to a less enthusiastic response at the box office than its predecessors by a relatively wide margin, bringing in $368.8 million worldwide.
At the time it was released in 1993, the original Jurassic Park was the highest-grossing film worldwide in history, raking in an astounding $967.2 million ($1.6 billion, inflation-adjusted) and also nabbing three Oscars for visual effects and sound editing and mixing.
Its follow-up, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, followed suit in 1997 with an impressive $618.3 million worldwide.

Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two films in the franchise, is expected to produce Jurassic Park 4 as he did for Jurassic Park III. Colin Trevorrow is slated to direct the film.

One of the most sensitive data in your PC may be some pictures that you do not want to share with anyone. You may want to hide your family pictures from your friends or some pictures of friends or
girlfriend/boyfriend from your family. You might have a question in mind that how can I hide my pictures from unwanted eyes? Well, the problem is not a big one. You can make them hide by some of the following ways.
One of the easiest ways is not to save pictures a portable device instead of saving them in a PC. Make sure that there is no unauthorized use of your such portable drives. Portable drives are pretty much affordable. You may use a USB drive or memory card that can be carried with you. People use their email account as a backup memory. They mail their data to their own email but it is not a safe option as email accounts get easily hacked. Saving your private pictures on the cloud is a better and more reliable option to hide your confidential photos.
There are online places where you securely put your data for free. You just need to register
yourself there. No one will be able to see your photos until you enter your ID and password.

If you are not comfortable with the cloud technology, you may save your data on your PC and use software like Folder lock. Folder Lock acts as a Folder Locker. You can save your pictures in Folder Lock and set a password. No one will be able to see your private pictures. The software has many other security options that can make your pictures inaccessible. There are also some other software but Folder Lock is really easy to use. It can also prevent your pictures from getting erased from your hard drive.
You can hide your secret pictures in your PC using the standard procedures like making a “Hole-in-the wall”. An invisible folder can also be created from your pictures which cannot be seen by others. But if you got a friend or family member who has some expertise in computer, he may dig out your secret folders and all your secret pictures can get revealed. These techniques are not effective anymore. The better options for you are to save your pictures in the cloud. You can also opt for the portable to save your undisclosed pictures.
People are always curious to know the secrets you are keeping in your heart. But, the fact is that they cannot access your heart. But, the secrets you are keeping in your memory devices are not impossible to reach. Those secrets are reachable and can be revealed easily with evidence. So, taking good care of your secret pictures is necessary.

The Way Ahead For Authentication
This, however, has led many to stop focusing on using passwords for protecting their data. Some even keep their information open, and instead rely on a more external data security protocol that is away from their data. This may cause a serious problem, since passwords will remain as the sole part of our authentication method for a long time, even when much stronger authentication factors are deployed.
Terms like Biometrics, Tokenization, and smart cards are here and are being used, albeit with their own distinct flaws. With tokenization, additional hardware needs to be arranged, which means extra purchases. With biometrics, extra hardware is also required. The additional pain of not being able to accommodate certain users does not make it feasible. With smart cards, integrating card readers in every endpoint device does not gel well with a streamlined fluid mechanism. The additional PKI certificate payload also adds on to the bulkiness of such systems, as organizations will need to implement and manage a public key infrastructure as well.
To make matters worse, the recent RSA SecurID, a one-time password token and considered one of the strongest data security mechanisms, was recently compromised. Similarly, biometrics are prone to playback attacks or password injection by compromising a password database. Mobile phones are also vulnerable to hacker attacks through fake base stations that can snatch the calls made to a GSM tower and redirect user calls to their PC, making intercepting calls and getting details on caller information a breeze.
With so much at stake, implementing these security measures not only involves huge costs to be incurred, but such measures have also been prone to attacks, as recent times have shown. And that brings us back to passwords.
Besides the hassle of having to remembering them, passwords are easy to implement, pretty much user-friendly, inexpensive, and extremely scalable. And as more and more web based applications, social networks, subscription based services, and mobile applications require users to sign up for their services, the use of passwords are here to stay with a stronger need for implementation. A whole new section of web services have sprouted up around passwords – services like OAuth, OpenID, Google AuthSub, AOL OpenAuth, Yahoo BBAuth for instance.
How To Use Passwords To Secure Data
An absolute must to-do on the strong password checklist is to require users to select and choose a strong password whilst keeping secure minimum length and other parameters for setting a password.
The use of mixed case, a combination of letters, numbers and symbols can easily be enforced by anyone.
In addition to that, it is important to make notification and monitoring a best practice. Notifying users to change and strengthen their passwords immediately upon suspected attack saves everyone a lot of trouble.
Then there is the lockout system – whereby any unauthorized attempt of accessing your application is set on specific lockout parameters that either does not allow unlimited number of guesses at sign in, limits an unlimited entry of wrong passwords to certain time limits, shuts down your PC, logs off PCs and monitors all password attempts to a log that you can view.
As a best practice, administrators can set guidelines in organizations to change their passwords often.

The myth that’s widely held to be true is that, a good credit-score means your identity is safe. Sadly, this couldn’t be further than the truth. While it’s true that a good credit-score indicates your identity is safe for the time being; nonetheless, identity thieves can strike without warning, and by the time you discover any inconsistencies in your credit-report, the damage has already been done.
So, why is identity theft such a big deal? Well, identity fraud, is a fairly easy crime to commit, those who actually commit the crime may be located anywhere in the world. According to e-crime statistics, less than 5 percent of criminals get caught and convicted in the United States. Law enforcement agencies neither have the capability nor the technology to capture these clever-crooks.
You may think that by simply shredding your documents, your identity is safe. However, you my friend – are mistaken and naïve. The truth of the matter is, if you pay with your credit cards at the restaurant, pay for purchases with your credit card over the internet, then you are likely providing someone your personal details – details that are needed to steal your identity.
Identity fraud can impact you in five different ways: financial fraud, crime or character fraud, medical fraud, and social security fraud. Financial fraud is self-explanatory, criminals steal your identity to steal money from your credit card, or perhaps even take up personal loans. Criminal and character fraud is perhaps the most sinister of all forms of identity theft, in this form of identity theft; criminals steal your identity to conduct crimes in your name, such as transferring money made through conducting criminal activities and then transferring those funds to offshore accounts, consequently, in the end, it’s the victim who ends up going to jail. In medical identity theft, the fraudsters often steal medical related information on the victim; he or she then uses the victims’ information for receiving free health care, such as prescription drugs and medical treatment.
Identity theft through cybercrime is now a leading cause of concerns for ordinary folks. People who lack knowledge about the various threats on the internet – especially the elderly, are now hot targets for e-crooks. Scams such as Phishing are fast becoming a popular means to fool the elderly into revealing their online banking credentials. Moreover, e-crooks often target unsuspecting elderly folks by lurking around their homes, connecting to their Wifi modems, and then attempting to steal their electronic tax returns, or credit card statements. There is software that can prevent these crooks from stealing personal information; this software can lock folder(s). Moreover, a simple act of investing a few dollars on an antivirus could make a significant difference in how well you are protected from such scams.

Laptop Stolen, Along With 5 Years Worth Of Written PHD Thesis

Posted by Tom Riddle | 03:48 Categories:

In our lifetime, most of us have experienced loss, which may or may not have had a significant impact on us. On the other hand, if you haven’t experienced such an event, then you are one of the few lucky ones out there. However, for the most of us we know how it feels. First, you begin to panic and start searching for your valuable item, followed by a wave of desperation which can churn up your stomach – a feeling that’s quite easy to recall. However, one such incident of Laptop Theft has even captured the attention of local media – involving theft of a laptop which had 5 years of PHD thesis research saved on it. Consequently, a Rutgers PHD student who had his laptop stolen was not concerned about losing the actual laptop – it was the data on his stolen laptop – a thesis on his PHD degree on which he worked for over 5 years to write. After realizing that if he is unable to get that data back, he won’t be able to graduate, he decided to take drastic action against getting his data back. 
As a result, he decided to offer the thief a reward of $1000 plus dollars in return for his thesis. According to Logan Westwood, data security strategist for New Software’s.net, an information security organization dedicated to preventing data leaks and data theft, pinpoints that the victim should have encrypted his thesis and then should of made a backup of that encrypted folder. According to Westwood, he’s not surprised about the nature of the theft. Every year, millions of laptops are stolen which contain sensitive unsecured data, which end up resulting in lost revenues for companies, identity fraud of victims, and even crimes committed in the victims’ names.
Westwood further emphasizes the need to lock folders which contain data such as thesis or other confidential documents, so that potential plagiarizers are not able to steal credit for such work.
