Softline Seed Fund helps build shield against phishing
Softline семенной фонд, совместное предприятие между Softline, российской частной фирмой, и РВК фонда государственной собственности семян, купил в PhishMan, молодой русской службы, РВК объявила. PhishMan предлагает пользователям свою собственную систему, чтобы оградить корпоративных клиентов, от фишинга, один из самых опасных методов веб-скамминг, предназначенных для кражи учетных записей пользователей.PhishMan помогает компаниям противостоять фишинг через обучение. Программа отправляет электронные письма с различными ловушками, тем самым имитируя мошеннической деятельности, и оценивает, как получатели реагировать на электронные письма. Если пользователь открывает электронный ловушку, PhishMan предлагает ему настроенное учебный курс. Такие письма отправляются на регулярной основе, чтобы проверить, насколько внимательными сотрудники. Это позволяет системе осуществлять мониторинг осведомленности пользователей о возможных угрозах.
"Сегодня, когда большинство компаний, имеющих различные инструменты для технически защиты ИТ-инфраструктуры от кибер-атак, пользователи стали самым слабым местом в системе корпоративной безопасности. Мошенники гораздо легче "взломать" человека, чем потом перехитрить технические средства защиты. Более половины писак начать с фишингом, так как пользователи сами раскрывают свои пароли путем открытия вредоносного ПО, содержащего электронную почту и перейдя по ссылкам. Многие компании недооценивают риск; доступ к рабочей станции мошенниками работы сотрудника займет всего несколько часов, чтобы получить контроль над счетами топ-менеджеров и получить доступ к финансовой информации. Это может стоить компании миллионы долларов в кражах, "сказал генеральный директор PhishMan Николай Agrinsky.
facebook test flies unmanned aircraft that could provide internet video
Facebook recently completed its first test flight of a solar-powered drone that is designed to beam down internet access to remote areas of the world.
The huge unmanned airplane has a wingspan larger than a Boeing 737 airliner, but weighs hundreds of times less (about one-third of an electric car), according to Facebook, because of its carbon-fiber frame. In fact, half of Aquila's mass is made up of batteries, which enable the solar-powered plane to fly during the day and night.
"Aquila is designed to be hyper efficient, so it can fly for up to three months at a time," Parikh wrote. "The aircraft has the wingspan of an airliner, but at cruising speed it will consume only 5,000 watts — the same amount as three hair dryers, or a high-end microwave."
The recent test flight was the first for the full-scale drone, as previous tests used a one-fifth scale version of Aquila, according to the social media giant. Facebook said it plans to push Aquila to the limits in a lengthy series of tests over the coming months and years.
During the low-altitude test flight, Aquila flew for more than 90 minutes, which was three times longer than Facebook had planned. The flight's success included performance verifications of the drone's aerodynamics, batteries, control systems and crew training.
"In our next tests, we will fly Aquila faster, higher and longer, eventually taking it above 60,000 feet," Parikh wrote. "Each test will help us learn and move faster toward our goal."
There is still a long road ahead as the social media company continues to test its internet-delivery drone.
The current world record for solar-powered unmanned flight stands at two weeks, set by by defense technology company Qinetiq's Zephyr plane in 2010, according to the Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI). To reach Aquila's goal of delivering internet connectivity for up to three months at a time, Facebook said it will require significant advancements in science and engineering.
"It will also require us to work closely with operators, governments and other partners to deploy these aircraft in the regions where they'll be most effective," Parikh said.

Technology drive sees 'connected car' link-ups in China
China has the youngest premium car buyers in the world, and their tech-savvy demand for "connected cars"—coupled with Communist regulations—is driving international automakers into the arms of the country's Internet giants.
Growth is slowing and competition intensifying in the world's number one car market, but it also boasts Mercedes Benz buyers with an average age of 37, and Audi's customers even younger at 36. In contrast, the average Mercedes buyer in the US was over 54, according to IHS Automotive.
China's "Internet savvy" cohort is the youngest premium customer group in the world, Hubertus Troska, China chief for Mercedes' parent Daimler, said at the Beijing Auto Show this week.
"We really want to be at the forefront of connectivity and telematics in this country, so we're going with the best technology that we have," he added.
Automakers are racing to offer "connected" car services, which include in-car internet access, entertainment systems, and easy integration with smartphones, traffic lights, and other vehicles.
The global market for such connected-car technologies will be worth about 123 billion euros by 2021, according to consultancy PwC.
With more than 600 million smartphone users, China's consumers particularly prize such features.
