Bromium announced the latest release of its micro-virtualization desktop security tool, vSentry 2.0, with improvements around mobile connections, document sharing and Intel support. Bromium vSentry is a unique approach to desktop security that uses micro-virtualization to isolate application threads to protect the host from malware. The product treats everything as untrusted while allowing only certain functions on the host to interact with the thread. In this manner, it can allow malware to execute fully without ever actually compromising a system — and still gives users full access to the sites and files they need.

Building on the 1.0 release, Bromium has reduced the size of its code base by developing the entire tool around Xen. Prior to this, there were other components that were needed to provide a certain level of functionality, but Xen has progressed to the point where it can now be used for everything vSentry needs to do. With Xen, vSentry can take advantage of processors that support Intel’s VT-d solution, which enables the isolation and management of device access to virtual machines (VMs)…

In the last five years, organisations have increasingly embraced cloud applications to help them innovate and transform their business. Applications that automate sales processes, HR management, collaboration, email and file sharing are growing fast and enabling organisations to meet their needs in a shorter timeframe than ever before.

Cloud applications are ubiquitously employed across all industries. However, there are increased concerns about security and compliance of sensitive information, particularly in banking, insurance and in the public sector. A wide range of regulations and privacy laws make organisations directly responsible for protecting regulated information, but when this data is stored in the cloud, they have less direct control over leaks, theft or forced legal disclosure…

Legacy systems requiring manual management of IT structure have fallen to the wayside, one by one, as automated cloud computing systems have usurped the place of typical IT professionals and infrastructure managers. Unrest has shaken the industry since at least 2010, and the same advice has been issued over and over again, in varying tones. Forbes contributor Reuven Cohen put it bluntly: "You can adapt or die.”

Today, IT professionals must expect greater collaboration with other business units. According to IT World , business analysts and project managers will be in high demand concerning IT, as "user requirements must still be collected, cloud-based vendors must still be selected, and applications must still be integrated into business processes.” Technologists, security specialists, and infrastructure specialists will all be in high demand…

Forza Motorsport 5’s developers at Turn 10 Studios are bringing the power of cloud computing to bear in an attempt to deliver a personalized racing title that tailors your experience to the way you play and carries it forth even when you’re not playing.

The cornerstone of Forza 5’s cloud functionality is a feature called Drivatar (pronounced DRIVE-uh-tar), which the studio showed off during Microsoft’s E3 press briefing yesterday. Drivatar actually debuted in the original Forza Motorsport in 2005, but according to Bill Giese, design director of Forza 5, Turn 10 didn’t have the technology to realize its vision for the feature until the Xbox One…

As DOD begins sending its most sensitive information into the cloud, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing a new generation of resilient cloud services that are designed to maintain and support military objectives during a cyber attack.

According to DARPA, a traditional perimeter defense focus can’t sufficiently secure existing network enclaves. The approach is even less likely to provide reliable security in cloud environments, where a massive concentration of homogeneous hosts on high-speed networks lack internal checks and rely on implicit trust among hosts within limited perimeter defenses…
