Encryption

Encyption

GOOGLE: Ventures Into Public Key Encryption. Google's Key Transparency project offers a model of a public lookup service for encryption keys. Google announced an early prototype of Key Transparency, its latest open source effort to ensure simpler, safer, and secure communications for everyone. The project’s goal is to make it easier for applications services to share and discover public keys for users, but it will be a while before it's ready for prime time. Read more[INFOWORLD.COM]

SECURITY: The Year Encryption Won. Between the revelations of mega-hacks of Yahoo and others, Russia’s meddling in the US electoral system, and the recent spike in ransomware, it’s easy to look at 2016 as a bleak year for security. It wasn’t all so, though. In fact, the last 12 months have seen significant strides in one of the most important aspects of personal security of all: encryption. Read more[WIRED.COM]

Federal, State & Local IT

CHIEF INNOVATION OFFICERS: An Unclear Role in the Federal Government. Federal obsession with innovation is rampant. The government appears intent upon emulating a Silicon Valley-style startup culture that can keep up with the evolution of commercial technology – or at least shake up how agencies approach problems. Its efforts include the Presidential Innovation Fellows program, a one-year tour of duty lawmakers are attempting to make permanent; the digital consultancy 18F, which aims to help other agencies buy agile software development; and a rash of incubator-style hubs where employees can build out their own ideas.

Federal, State & Local ITCOLLEGES: Federal Government Shuts Down Controversial College Watchdog. An organization that was supposed to oversee the embattled for-profit college industry and protect students from fraud lost its recognition Monday, potentially putting hundreds of thousands of students in limbo. The Secretary of Education ruled Monday to terminate his agency’s recognition of the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), which critics say allowed billions of dollars in federal financial aid funds to flow to bad actors.

Databases

ORACLE: Still Sees Databases as the Cloud’s Mother Lode. Oracle has built a massive enterprise applications business over the decades: It bought PeopleSoft for $10 billion in 2004, Siebel Systems for nearly $6 billion the following year, and closed a $9.3 billion purchase of NetSuite a few months ago. Despite that, the company clearly still sees databases as Oracle’s bedrock, which is why it’s critical that, moving forward, those databases run on Oracle’s nascent cloud infrastructure.

Containers define a new method of application packaging combined with user and process isolation, for application multi-tenancy. Varied Linux and Windows container implementations have existed for years, but Microsoft’s release of Windows Server 2016 established Docker’s design as the defacto container standard. The Docker API and container format is now supported on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, every Linux distro, and Windows. Docker’s design is elegant and delivers compelling benefits.

Security Patches

MOBILE: March Android Security Update Breaks SafetyNet, Android Pay. An issue with the March Android over-the-air security update has been resolved after Nexus 6 users complained that Android Pay no longer worked after installation of the update. The update in fact broke Android’s SafetyNet API which provides a constant check on device integrity, blocking access to certain features – such as Android Pay – if it believes a device has been rooted. A Google representative confirmed to Threatpost that the issue was resolved and the OTA update re-issued, even for devices that had already installed the bad update. Find out more[THREATPOST.COM]

Security PatchesADOBE: Flash Player New Security Update. On March 14, Adobe Flash Player users should receive a new security update instead of the February patches. This is because Microsoft has engaged to its earlier plan to defer and deliver the updates at a later date even if the security patches are now available. On February 2017, Adobe has addressed the issue and found a solution in which a patch was able to deal with the security problem. For this reason, users are given access to both MS17-005 Security Update for the Adobe Flash Player. This is due to the update from Adobe and the provision by Microsoft. This vulnerability has been considered a critical issue due to the permission that it can grant the attackers. In a report by security specialists, such a vulnerability indicates that attackers are granted control of the machine that was infected. This is in the sense that they are allowed to send remote commands.. Find out more[TNHONLINE.COM]

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT: Cybersecurity Regulations Get Demanding. As more government agencies get involved with creating cybersecurity regulations, security professionals will need to monitor new laws and understand which apply to their industry and whether some overlap or conflict. Increased enforcement from different agencies can mean significant consequences even if breaches are avoided. As the new administration adjusts regulations, chief information security officers (CISOs) will need to add governmental cyber regulations to their daily watchlists. Consider the following key areas that impact enterprise security in multiple ways. Find out more [SECURITYINTELLIGENCE.COM]

LEARN: What Great Managers Do Daily. So much depends upon managers. For example, a Gallup study found that at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores is driven by who the boss is.

This state of affairs is hurting not just employee engagement and quality of life, but also corporate performance. What makes managers of highly engaged employees different than the rest on a day-to-day basis? Read the results of a recent survey. Find out more [HBR.ORG]

APP SECURITY: Managing Both Acute and Chronic Web Application Security Issues. With WikiLeaks’ March 7 posting of what was purported to be some of the CIA’s cyber surveillance exploits, agencies are looking at the possibility of attackers turning intelligence gathering tools against government systems, devices and websites.

C#: Version 7.0 Comes with New Features. Visual Studio 2017 was released earlier this month with new programming language features for C# 7.0. C# is a type-safe, object-oriented programming language designed for building applications that run on the .NET framework. The Visual Studio team has been working on C# 7.0 for over a year. “C# 7.0 adds a number of new features and brings a focus on data consumption, code simplification and performance. Perhaps the biggest features are tuples, which make it easy to have multiple results, and pattern matching, which simplifies code that is conditional on the shape of data. But there are many other features big and small. We hope that they all combine to make your code more efficient and clear, and you more happy and productive,” said Mads Torgersen, program manager at Microsoft. Find out more[SDTIMES.COM]

READ: Relieving Cloud Migration Headaches. One look at the exponential increase in Amazon Web Services revenue, which has grown by an order of magnitude over the past five years, makes clear that we are on the cusp of a generational transformation in how IT organizations provide application infrastructure. Indeed, Gartner, which estimates that infrastructure-as-a-service revenue grew by nearly 43 percent in 2016, said organizations saved “14 percent of their budgets as an outcome of public cloud adoption,” a ratio that is sure to rise in the coming years. And many government IT organizations are at the forefront of the cloud conversion due to executive-level mandates, tight IT budgets and demand for increased access to information and online services.
