Hacktivism moves from pranks to problems
Far from being "sophisticated" attacks, LulzSec and Anonymous are run of the
mill, say experts. But companies need to look to their defenses.

Inside Healthcare Today: An Interactive eGuide
Many are well on their way to full use of electronic health records, enabling
complete mobility for their medical staffs, and building barriers around
personally identifiable health information. But, many healthcare IT executives
admit, much work is yet to be done in using IT to improve patient care and cut
costs.

Tips for a malware-free Android smartphone
Since more and more malware is emerging for the Android platform every day, you
must pay strict attention to what is happening on your phone or tablet.
Smartphones are essentially computers--and all computers are vulnerable to
viruses, phishing, and other attacks from malicious software.

Leverage government innovation to reduce identity management risks
Managing consumer or citizen identities comes with two key problems--scale and
cost--prompting organizations that require onboarding, authentication, and
password management to look for ways to outsource this effort. Entertainment
websites, online retailers, and even US federal government-to-citizen websites
are experimenting with a federated model for more of their identity management
life cycle. By using single sign-on (SSO) and attribute-sharing between "social"
identity providers (IdPs) (i.e. Google and Facebook) and relying parties (RPs),
this model effectively reduces cost and improves the customer experience.

EU considers stricter data breach notification rules
The European Commission is examining whether additional rules are needed on
personal data breach notification in the European Union.
