60% Of Developers Have Security Concerns
NodeSource, the Node.js® company, and Sqreen, a SaaS security monitoring and protection solution, announced the results of a joint developer survey. The survey of nearly 300 CTOs, CIOs and developers revealed that, while the developer community fully understands the risks of operating in the open internet and the complexities of building reliable, secure code, developers are not taking advantage of tools that can identify and mitigate threats.
Key Encryption In The Battle For Cloud Security
One of the major challenges that comes with cloud computing, especially for security professionals, is protecting sensitive data that?s stored in the cloud. Consideration also has to be given to various regulatory compliance requirements that have to be met. The most common way to secure this data is via encryption, but the question arises as to who should be responsible for maintaining the encryption keys. With SaaS solutions, it can be difficult to separate encryption key management from the provider, so it?s up to each customer to explore available options. One of the main challenges is to implement encryption that doesn?t hamper user experience or performance. This, coupled with encryption key management, makes the situation very complex.

How Migration From Analog To IP Video Benefits Casino Security
One major transformation in casino surveillance and security operations is the transition from analog video to digital recording and IP-cameras. The change is being brought about by several factors: some gaming commissions now insist on remote access to recorded or live video, which analog video cannot do; many manufacturers no longer make or sell VCRs; and analog systems have limitations on cable distances and distribution points, which limits their functionality.

Providing 21th Century Broadband With Fixed Wireless Gigabit
There are close to 126 million households in the US, out of which 106 million have some form of broadband. FCC reports have found that about three-quarters of the country?s developed census blocks lack any high-speed broadband choice. Moreover, only a very small fraction of those households has access to 21th century broadband above 100 Mbps which is required to empower users with the emerging applications in the connected home including 4K and 8K televisions, virtual reality, IoT, and the proliferation of user devices. In other words, homes are rapidly becoming high density wireless environments which require way beyond 25 Mbps connectivity.

Built-in Intelligence For All-New AUTODOME IP 4000i And 5000i Cameras From Bosch
Until now, level of detail has been the key quality parameter for surveillance cameras, as clear images at all times was the most important feature for high security.

The AUTODOME IP family of pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras is the answer. These enable users manually to keep track of persons of interest as they move – even at speed, far beyond a fixed camera?s field of view.
Expert Breaks Down WPA2 Security Flaw, Explains Solutions
Researchers have discovered a key flaw in the WPA2 Wi-Fi encryption protocol that allows hackers to intercept credit card numbers, passwords, photos and other sensitive information. The new exploit is called KRACK, short for Key Reinstallation Attacks. The research has been kept under wraps for weeks ahead of a coordinated disclosure. The vulnerability affects the core WPA2 protocol itself and is effective against devices running Android, Linux, and OpenBSD, and to a lesser extent macOS and Windows, as well as MediaTek Linksys.
