Register today at: http://www.cwconnectit.com/atlanta 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. That was the message from Gartner analyst Jorge Lopez in the closing keynote at the Gartner Security and Risk Management Summit today. Digital business isn't simply represented by what will be a growth in the so-called "Internet of Things." IoT connectivity will be part of cars, trash cans, road sensors, medical devices, clothing, toys, parking meters, LED lighting and much more. Beyond this, the digital business revolution means what will happen with the information that can be gleaned from IoT and shared for business purposes.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE INSIDER Hadoop's success drives efforts to make it more secure Talk about big data and it won't take long for Hadoop to appear in the conversation.

"This accomplishment opens the door for co-designing digital CMOS [complementary metal oxide semiconductors] and millimeter-wave capabilities as an integrated system on an all-silicon chip, which should also make possible new design architectures for future military [wireless] systems."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE Turning network resource management on its head through software-defined WANs Exactly how can a high-end SDW solution help?

Learn More Tools catch security holes in open source code This year has been the best of times and the worst of times for open source code and security.On the one hand, the latest survey by Black Duck Software and North Bridge Venture Partners shows that 72 percent of industry professionals prefer open source software because it's more secure than proprietary solutions.[Are open-source projects the pathway to better security?]On the other hand, Heartbleed exposed a security flaw in the widely-used, open source OpenSSL encryption tool that affected more than half a million websites. Also this spring, TrueCrypt unexpectedly shut down, citing "unfixed security issues" on its SourceForge page, and a critical bug in Linux, GnuTLS, was finally exposed after having been undiscovered for more than 10 years.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE Google gets into the weeds of Android Work Approach offers a hierarchy of management controls for BYOD or company-owned devices (see video below) READ MORE Comparing the top Hadoop distributions Hadoop introduced a new way to simplify the analysis of large data sets, and in a very short time reshaped the big data market. In fact, today Hadoop is often synonymous with the term big data.Since Hadoop is an open source project, a number of vendors have developed their own distributions, adding new functionality or improving the code base. This article by Altoros, a big data specialist, provides an overview of the major distributions, describing how they differ from the standard edition.A standard open source Hadoop distribution (Apache Hadoop) includes: The Hadoop MapReduce framework for running computations in parallel The Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) Hadoop Common, a set of libraries and utilities used by other Hadoop modules This is only a basic set of Hadoop components; there are other solutions -- such as Apache Hive, Apache Pig, and Apache Zookeeper, etc. -- that are widely used to solve specific tasks, speed up computations, optimize routine tasks, etc.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE 7 days, 7 futuristic technologies: Insanely fast chips, mood-sensing computers, and more Amazing advances in computing technology revealed themselves at small events around the globe this week.
