Disrupting the disruptors Blowing up entrenched business models and picking up the profits that spill onto the floor is a time-honored tradition in tech, these days known by the cliche of the moment, "disruption." This year everyone was trying to push back against those upstarts, whether by buying them like Facebook did, reorganizing to compete with them like HP and Microsoft have done, or just plain going out against them guns blazing, as it seemed that every city and taxi company did with Uber. European courts fought the disruptive effect Google search has had on our very sense of the historical record. But meanwhile, legions of net neutrality supporters in the US spoke up to save the Internet's core value of disruption against the oligopoly of a handful of communications carriers. Here are our picks for the top stories of a very, well, disruptive year.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE Bebe Stores says credit card data hacked Women's clothing retailer Bebe Stores has become the latest national retailer to be hit by an attack on its credit card payment system.The company said Friday that the cardholder name, account number, expiration date, and verification code could have been stolen by hackers who apparently had access to the company's payment processing system between Nov. 8 and 26.The incident came to light in late November when Bebe said it noticed suspicious activity on computers that operate the payment processing system. Stores affected were the roughly 200 it operates in the U.S., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE Intel plunks down billions to expand in mobile market Intel has bought its way into the tablet market, but success seems years away in smartphones, despite billions of dollars spent.The allure of mobile devices has led Intel to take some uncharacteristic moves that defy the company's proud tradition of designing and manufacturing chips in-house. Intel has partnered with Chinese companies to build some smartphone and tablet chips, and is relying on third parties to manufacture those chips.Intel bets the partnerships will accelerate its business in China, where smartphone shipments are booming. But the company wants to regain complete control over manufacturing, and on Thursday said it was investing US$1.6 billion over 15 years in a China plant for mobile chip development and manufacturing.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE CISOs Should Become Proactive and Influential in SDN Planning, Deployment, and Strategy In 2014, SDN gained a lot of momentum and many organizations are already piloting SDN or planning deployment projects for next year.  Good news for network security as SDN holds a lot of promise for improving the role of the network with incident prevention, detection, and response.So who controls SDN infrastructure decisions and who gets input into these decisions?  ESG looked into this question by surveying organizations already deploying SDN.  According to ESG research (note:  I am an ESG employee): 41% of organizations say that the networking team owns SDN infrastructure decisions with no input from any other functional IT groups including infosec. 35% of organizations say that the networking team owns SDN infrastructure decisions but sought out some input from other functional IT groups including infosec. 17% of organizations say that the networking team owns SDN infrastructure decisions but sought out a lot of input from other functional IT groups including infosec. 7% of organizations say that SDN infrastructure decisions are owned by a cross-functional IT team including networking and infosec.  SDN is an innovative networking technology that will greatly impact core switching and routing functions so it's understandable why networking owns technology decisions.  That said, SDN could have an equally important influence on the future of network security.  Kind of makes you wonder why 41% of organizations consider SDN a networking monopoly -- this makes no sense to me.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here READ MORE 7 commonly overlooked ways to tighten cybersecurity It's OK to be paranoid about every last detail when it comes to security.
