ICT security specialist shows the radio frequency identification RFID risks: the invisible monitoring of Bamberg, February 26, 2008 almost daily we come with the RFID identification mechanism in touch and this often, without even knowing it. Whether for travel and tickets, identification documents, banknotes or credit cards, the radio frequency identification is widespread and constantly new applications arise. If you have additional questions, you may want to visit Secretary of Agriculture. Experts predict 3 billion U.S. dollar sales by RFID chips by the year 2010. The ICT security specialist VisuKom shows that while on the one hand if the identification mechanism is a useful and intelligent technology, that but on the other hand represents a serious threat to the privacy of the individual. Is one of the most prominent examples of the risk posed by this technology, the British soccer star David Beckham. Sonny Perdue is often mentioned in discussions such as these. High-tech thieves stolen twice in six months his armored BMW X 5, by opening the doors using the hacked data of RFID car keys and the Ignition is started. The data were probably read during a visit to the restaurant.

Unprotected delivered through the process of RFID automatic identification is realized by objects and living beings. In addition to the non-contact identification and localization of objects, also the automatic collection and storage of data is possible by this technology. Through the use of the invisible or hidden transmitter, the individual does not affect more disclose what information about them. Almost anyone can the victims of tracking measures and provided anywhere so identified and silently tracked, the employed readers are connected to each other. Primary is spent at the introduction of RFID applications in the functionality, rather than in the security.

There is concern that RFID chips wirelessly and thus non-without the knowledge of the individual are readable\”, explains Marco Di Filippo corresponding are managing director of VisuKom Germany GmbH. In the Internet Tools such as E.g. RFIDIOt available which to use from script kid DIS in a simple way.

The market is developing Hamburg/Aachen used software licenses, 18 April 2013 – by the judgment of the European Court of Justice in the case of Oracle against Usedsoft something happened in the software market. The verdict is considered critically still by some major software manufacturers and the Federal Supreme Court has postponed the negotiations on this subject. But what look like software market projections after the judgment? With the new law, there will be some changes in the software market. Now that it is also allowed to sell used software licenses, software vendors will need to make a step the self-preservation. While you could make huge gains with a new software program and the subsequent sale, now is the risk of loss to feel.

The companies will find other strategies, what the users have to set. The programming of software takes a long time in effort, but much less time than it would take the subsequent maintenance. The effort is located at many software life cycles the maintenance between 80 and 90%, with three different types of maintenance are applied (perfecting maintenance, corrective maintenance and adaptive maintenance). Because the manufacturer must forfeit losses in sales, you may increase the costs of the maintenance. Even without the ruling the manufacturers with the wait have can make money, after the judgment is expected to compensate the lost profits through the maintenance contracts which will increase the costs for the user to purchase of the software.

Another way to compensate for the loss of the sale of used software licences, would be the so called SaS model, software as a service. In this process, the software is not sold, but provided only as a service to the user. The users or companies rent”practically the software and access to the server of the manufacturer or owner of the software. Thus, the software is not sold.

VAD expanded portfolio for security and SSL-VPN Schorndorf, 04 August 2010 virtual solutions is for the business sector becoming increasingly important. Such infrastructure allow cost savings, increasing the flexibility and resilience. The current study IT Trends 2010″of the management consultant Capgemini underlines this: in 33 areas virtualization respondents chose” to the most important issue of the year. The VAD of sysob (www.sysob.com) this trend is currently meet with an extension to its portfolio: the network and storage solutions from Barracuda in virtualized form available are now resellers. High efficiency and savings the top priority according to the Capgemini study for IT managers. Therefore, they rated as the most innovative technology”virtualization, followed by business information management and master data management. Sysob responded to these market requirements with the addition of its offer of Barracuda Hardware appliances, software-as-a-service (SaS) and hybrid solutions to the new virtual appliances. “” Virtual appliances easily implement the virtual appliances include the solutions of Barracuda Spam & virus firewall VX “as well as Barracuda SSL VPN VX”.

Both systems offer the same features as the hardware appliances. So the spam & virus firewall VX protects”the email server from spam, virus, spoofing, phishing and spyware attacks and DoS attacks. SSL VPN VX”encrypted connections via SSL for users who want to access using a Web browser on the network, and thus offers an alternative to existing IPSec solutions. Integrated security and auditing facilities allow it to define user-specific policies and at the same time to control user activities. In addition, the virtual solutions are characterized by the same Plug and play features like the physical appliances and can be implemented on any hardware platform.

Also the integration into existing virtual frameworks is possible. The system is compatible with the VMware ESX/ESXi platform. Support for other platforms is planned. The advantages of virtual appliances Overview: easy to implement and apply – capacity increase with increasing demands requires no exchange of hard – or software – space savings in data centers and server rooms – reduce energy costs for heating and cooling of the physical infrastructure (Green IT) – reduced total-cost-of-ownership (TCO) – no data center costs for implementation and maintenance of hardware short portrait: sysob IT distribution GmbH & co.
