Rethinking SAP Security Without Maintenance Contracts

Rethinking SAP Security Without Maintenance Contracts

Do you rely on SAP maintenance contracts to keep vulnerabilities in check? Here’s a question: have you felt the sting of renewal season? Those spiraling costs are hard to ignore—just like the rising threats and security compliance headaches. No wonder so many organizations, maybe even yours, are asking: Do we really need to keep paying for vendor protection, or could we handle SAP security ourselves? Yes, ditching the maintenance contract can save cash, but it’s…

How to transform your old, obsolete Kindle into the ultimate open-source reader

How to transform your old, obsolete Kindle into the ultimate open-source reader

David Gewirtz / Elyse Betters Picaro / ZDNET There was a time when I felt it was my divine right to access any computer I wanted, to crack any DRM, to break through any encryption, and to make the walls of digital walled gardens fall at my feet. Early on, I met some very smart (and fairly scary) people from three-letter agencies who convinced me that my talents would be put to better use if…

ETSI Publishes New Quantum-Safe Encryption Standards

ETSI Publishes New Quantum-Safe Encryption Standards

New quantum-safe encryption standards have been published by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). The specification defines a scheme for key encapsulation mechanisms with access control (KEMAC), called Covercrypt. Key encapsulation mechanisms establish a shared secret key and transmit it to a receiver securely. This prevents anyone who doesn’t know the private key from recovering any information about the encapsulated secret keys. Covercrypt builds on this principle by allowing data encryption based on certain user-attributes,…

It’s just pure incompetence. Because absolutely nothing last-minute happened yesterday, and I was just clearing up some unrelated things in order to be ready for the merge…

The default TV setting you should turn off ASAP – and why you shouldn't wait to do it

Kerry Wan/ZDNET I love March Madness, at least when my team is invited to the Big Dance. I even enjoy watching other teams play their hearts out like everything is on the line — because it is. While NCAA basketball continues to be broadcast in standard HD, the games can look clear, bright, and beautiful on most modern TVs. Part of that appeal, though, is owed to your TV’s motion-smoothing capabilities.  Also: Why I recommend…
