Tabula Rosa Systems Technical Term Of The Day - IPTV

======================================================

From whatis.com

IPTV (Internet Protocol television)

Margaret Rouse

IPTV (Internet Protocol television) is a method of distributing television content over IP that enables a more customized and interactive user experience. Among other things, IPTV could allow people who were separated geographically to watch a movie together, while also chatting and exchanging files simultaneously.

IPTV (Internet Protocol television) is the delivery of programming by video stream encoded as a series of IP packets. IPTV is distributed by a service provider and can be free or fee-based and can deliver either live TV or stored video. It can be bundled with other Internet Protocol services, including VoIP and high-speed Internet access.

Tabula Rosa Systems - Blog Of 5/26/15 - Job Seeking and Telling the Truth

============================================

Job Seeking and Telling the Truth

“If you need justification or reasons not to lie on an email or résumé, you have already lost the battle of being honest.”

—Paul Babicki

As the quotation suggests, there is no compromise for telling the truth in job hunting. In my research, many esteemed people say that to avoid talking about oneself dishonestly, you can use a creative approach where you omit or don’t fully disclose certain data. When it comes to ethics and Netiquette, there are no half-truths. However, there is also the consideration of providing too much information.

Almost all job applicants know that direct lies will almost always eliminate a candidate from consideration or cause termination when they are hired if the lie is uncovered. Many job seekers will not even consider being untruthful either out of conviction or fear.

However, there are some people who take a “middle ground” by rationalizing, somehow, that a disputable truth achieved by being indirect is not a lie. This is done in one of the following ways:

· Exaggerating

· Omitting salient data

· Avoiding the issue

· Substituting facts

· Changing the subject

· Giving unrelated information

· Ignoring Netiquette

· Ignoring logic principles

As I put it in my previous book “Contradictions in any communication are the first stepping stones of mistrust.” The following is another list of Netiquette essentials that comes from a more generalized, everyday perspective. They are still significantly advanced beyond the general Netiquette 101 lists that proliferate on the Internet.

Tabula Rosa Systems Technical Term Of The Day - Regin Malware - A Devious Trojan

======================================================

From whatis.com

Regin Malware

Regin is a complex strain of back-door Trojan malware that uses a multi-staged, modular approach to infect its targets in order to monitor user activity and steal data.

Regin was discovered in a variety of organizations between 2008 and 2011; it then disappeared until 2013, when a new version resurfaced. The attack vector varies depending on the target, but it's believed that some people are tricked into visiting fake versions of well-known Websites and the malware is installed through the browser or an application. There has also been an unconfirmed instance in which the infection originated from Yahoo Instant Messenger.

Regin can conduct a wide range of operations once it infects a system, including screenshot-capturing, taking control of mouse functions, stealing passwords, monitoring network traffic and recovering deleted files. With highly customizable capabilities stemming from the modular design, Regin is geared toward monitoring individuals or organizations for long periods of time and has been used as an advanced persistent threat in spying operations against government organizations, infrastructure operators, businesses, researchers and individuals.

Regin malware uses a five stage approach in which every stage is hidden and encrypted, except for the first stage. Each stage relies on each other to function.

The first stage involves the installation and configuration of the internal services; this is the only one that is plainly visible on the system. The later stages involve distribution of the main payloads, which are stored as encrypted data blobs, either as a file or within a non-traditional file storage area. Individually, each stage contains little information on the complete process, so it's only possible to analyze and understand the threat if all stages are visible at the same time. This multi-stage architecture is similar to that of Stuxnet and Duqu.

Regin uses a command-and-control infrastructure, which helps it avoid detection. It relies on legitimate communication channels, such as custom TCP and UDP protocols and embedded commands in HTTP cookies, to help it covertly communicate with its user(s).

The majority of Regin infections have occurred within small businesses and individuals. Other targets include telecom companies. The attacks have been geographically diverse, spreading in ten different countries, mainly in Russia and Saudi Arabia.

Regin malware has been linked to the U.S., UK and Israeli governments as part of long-term government-sponsored cyber-espionage campaigns.

Netiquette IQ Blog Of 5/25/15 - The Seven Deadly SIns Of Security

============================================
One of Tabula Rosa's Strong Security offerings is Sophos. They have a wide and comprehensive ranges of security solutions. For each of the "deadly sins" noted below, Sophos has a product to address the need. Please contact Tabula Rosa (see below) for any additional information.
=============================================
From Sophos Security Software - The Seven Deadly SIns Of Security

Mobile Negligence

That flashy little device in your pocket is a big security risk. Hackers are increasingly targeting mobile devices to steal data (emails, contacts, corporate data, financial information) and send premium rate SMS, using up your bandwidth in the process. Android devices are most vulnerable to threat - last year SophosLabs saw an 1800% increase in Android malware. While there is less iOS malware these devices are still vulnerable to attack, particularly jailbroken devices
Mac Malice
Macs are gaining ground on Windows in corporate usage. However, many Macs aren’t properly protected against malware and data loss. Macs can be infected with malware just like PCs, and the threat is growing. Macs can also play host to Windows malware and spread it across your network to all your Windows computers. Your employees love their Macs. But you can’t afford to give Macs a pass on protection.

Unsecure WiFi

Put an access point in your office and you’ll have a Wi-Fi hotspot in no time. Then along come all these devices that want to connect – smartphones and tablets belonging to your employees, laptops brought in by visitors. Do you know where those devices have been? And if your hotspot provides full access to your corporate network, that could mean access to more data than you intended. If you don’t protect your wireless network, it can open the door to threats.

Un-encrypted Email

Your email typically traverses the Internet in plain text format. It’s like sending a postcard in the mail. Anyone with the means and motive – government agencies, ISPs, webmail providers, hackers, advertisers and even your competitors – can take advantage of this to steal sensitive data, facilitate identity theft, access credit card information, or provide more targeted advertising. We’re in the middle of an email snooping epidemic and unsecure email is a major liability.

Faulty Firewall

It may look like an unassuming box in the server room, but your firewall is your network’s first line of defense: blocking port scans, thwarting data-stealing malware, controlling Facebook access, prioritizing bandwidth for corporate applications … the list goes on. If your firewall can’t keep up with threats and bandwidth demands, or is too complex to use effectively, you’re not getting the full potential from your network.

Un-encrypted Files

Major corporations like Target, The Home Depot and JPMorgan Chase have suffered data breaches that are devastating to their brands. Smaller companies suffer the same fate with less fanfare. No matter what the size of the breach, your reputation and customer loyalty can be damaged beyond repair. If you’re not securing sensitive company data and your customers’ identities, your customers will flee even if your business escapes the wrath of regulators.

Delinquent Web Filtering

Web filtering used to be easy – block out the pornography, gambling and extremist content and you’re safe. But today that’s no longer enough to keep employees secure against dangerous websites - 80% of all web malware is now hosted on legitimate websites that have been compromised. Hackers compromise thousands of new sites every day, using sophisticated techniques to keep their malware from being detected. You can get infected with malware by browsing to a hacked website that might have been safe the day before, without even knowing it.
