It's part of an Apple push to make mobile app developers more aware of enduser privacy and to give them iOS tools to make privacy-related app actions clearer, so that users can allow them or not. A young Swiss security researcher, Frederic Jacobs (@FredericJacobs) apparently was the first to tweet about one of the new privacy features: a change in iOS that lets the device's radio use, in effect, fake MAC addresses when scanning for nearby Wi-Fi networks. When the user decides to associate with a specific network, the device uses its true MAC address.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE Gartner Magic Quadrant shifts focus from MDM to Enterprise Mobility Management Gartner has overhauled its annual mobility management Magic Quadrant report to focus on what's known as "enterprise mobility management" (EMM) rather than the previous "mobile device management," (MDM) a distinction it says is needed due to fast-moving market forces. Gartner's new report for EMM, which sizes up the vendors, is making a few of them upset. According to Gartner, EMM has evolved out of the older notion of MDM, and is distinguished by three basic functional roles for mobile content management and security. By Gartner's definition, EMM content management includes a "secure container" that lets the user store content securely on a mobile device; "content push" that allows for push-based delivery; and "content access" as a connection to a back-end repository where users can pull content to their devices. Gartner's new "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Mobility Management Suites" report describes all this and puts a few fortunate vendors in the much-coveted "leaders," "visionaries" and "challengers" categories, consigning others as "niche players."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE WEBCAST: VMware | IBM Enhance Your Virtualization Infrastructure Virtualization technology is now expanding beyond the server compute elements to encompass networking and storage aspects as well.
