Augmented Reality – Useful Information To Know
The advancement of technology has revolutionized computer interface design, and has changed our perspective about computers. Besides typing using the keyboard, and watching something on the monitor, you can view common objects in a completely new way using Augmented Reality. Well, this has completely changed our routine work. Now, doctors can view their patient’s medical images, kids can create their own innovative constructions, and engineers can make use of interesting tricks to communicate with far away clients. The motive behind Augmented Reality is not to immerse people in artificial virtual world, it is rather to enhance objects from this world using latest digital elements and communication features.

How to Become a Digital Forensics Investigator
How to become a digital forensics expert Background Digital forensics involves the using the scientific method for investigating and examining information from electronic media so as the information can be used as evidence in the courtroom. Investigating computing devices involves obtaining computer data without compromising it, examining suspect computer facts to figure out the particulars, such as, source and substance, displaying computer based facts to courts, and applying laws to digital findings. Digital forensics investigates data that has been retrieved from a computer’s hard drive disk or some other memory media.

Have you heard of a man in the middle cyber attack? How about a manager in the middle spiritual attack?
Why Penetration Testing and Vulnerability Assessment Is Important
Vulnerability assessment is a process run to detect, identify and classify the security loopholes in computers, websites, networks, information technology systems and also in communication systems. A minor loophole in your network can put your entire system at risk and let all your information out. The loopholes allow third parties and others to access and illicitly steal and exploit the database and information of your entire network system. Vulnerability is a process that is not much active and uses software tools for analysis.
A New Role for FIM in the Unix and Linux World – Undoubtedly, This Is The Shape of Things to Come
Lots of coverage this week relating to ‘Hand of Thief’, the latest black-market Trojan designed for any aspiring cyber-fraudster – yours for just $2000. It’s concerning news in that the threat to your personal data – predominantly your internet banking details – is an increasingly marketable commodity, but for the IT community the additional interest in this particular piece of malware is that it has been engineered specifically for Linux. Estimates suggest that Linux as a desktop OS accounts for less than 1% of the worlds’ total.
Serial Killer BTK Brought to Justice With Computer Forensics
Back in January 1974 police turned up at a family home to find a horrific scene all four members of the same family has been brutally murdered. This included Joseph and Julie Otero and the two children 11 year old daughter and the 9 year old son. This was the start of the now infamous serial killers campaign of terror with his self-styled insignia “BTK”. His murderous rampage continued on for 17 years when he committed his last confirmed murder. The Otero family was a little outside the normal victims of the BTK which generally fell within the female gender with a wide age range, he was also known to label his victims as projects.
IT SECRETS REVEALED: Monitor the Monitor

Your network is so key to your business success and the productivity of your people you have make sure this base is covered or you’re extremely vulnerable. What exactly are you getting, though?
File Integrity Monitoring – Why Change Management Is the Best Security Measure You Can Implement
With the growing awareness that cyber security is an urgent priority for any business there is a ready-market for automated, intelligent security defenses. The silver-bullet against malware and data theft is still being developed (promise!) but in the meantime there are hordes of vendors out there that will sell you the next best thing.
Tips for Setting Home Security System
The safety of your family is always important. That is why, we will often go to many lengths to protect them. You may think that your home is the safest place for your family to be in. Well, you are wrong. Sometime, even your own home isn’t safe from danger. You have to make your home a safe place for your family and your properties – you need a home security system.
File Integrity Monitoring – Use FIM to Cover All the Bases
For most people, the answer is ‘because my auditor/bank/security consultant said we had to!’ Security standards like the PCI DSS mandate a requirement for regular file integrity checks, including log file backups/archives, and this is the initial driver for most organizations to implement FIM. Unlike anti-virus and firewalling technology, FIM is not yet seen as a mainstream security requirement. In some respects, FIM is similar to data encryption, in that both are undeniably valuable security safeguards to implement, but both are used sparingly, reserved for niche or specialized security requirements.
