Gartner to IT security pros: Get ready for 'digital business'
National Harbor, Md. -- There's a "digital business" revolution coming and IT security professionals need to grasp the significance early on to be prepared to address whatever security needs arise.

No more excuses, time to roll out IPv6, says registry boss

Since every connected device on the Internet needs an IP address, there is increasing pressure to move to IPv6 as more non-computer devices come online in the so-called Internet of things.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
Carnegie Mellon system lets you get to the good parts of video, fast
While Video has become ubiquitous thanks mostly to smartphones it doesn't mean you want to actually watch all of it. Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists say they have invented a video highlighting technique called LiveLight that can automatically pick out action in videos shot by smartphones, GoPro cameras or Google Glass users. +More on Network World: NASA's coolest 'way-out' future projects+ LiveLight constantly evaluates action in a video, looking for visual novelty and ignoring repetitive or eventless sequences, to create a summary that enables a viewer to get the gist of what happened. What it produces is a miniature video trailer. Although not yet comparable to a professionally edited video, it can help people quickly review a long video of an event, a security camera feed, or video from a police cruiser's windshield camera, according to Carnegie researchers.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More
