For IT and MDM professionals who are responsible for the security ramifications of your BYOD workforce, this Remote Desktop Access Security for the Mobile Workforce white paper describes how you can allow mobile devices on your network in a secure and auditable way. This white paper provides network, desktop, server, and security personnel with an [...]
Over Half of Big Data & Cloud Projects Stall Because of Security Concerns
The majority of IT professionals within large and mid-size corporations worry about the security of big data and cloud projects Cupertino, CA – May 21, 2013 – Voltage Security®, the world leader in data-centric security, today announced results of a recent industry survey in which 76% of senior-level IT and security respondents said the inability [...]
Remote Desktop Access for Mobile Users Without the Pain of VPN/RDP
Extending legacy VPN/RDP to mobile devices can be fraught with challenges. Lengthy, complex, and error-prone configuration of mobile VPN and RDP clients can result in downtime and additional management costs. Users are frustrated with remembering multiple logins. Remote connections back to desktops are painfully slow. Splashtop for Business represents a unique alternative to this traditional [...]
Making Frequency-Hopping Radios Practical
New hardware could lead to wireless devices that identify and exploit unused transmission frequencies, using radio spectrum much more efficiently. The way in which radio spectrum is currently allocated to different wireless technologies can lead to gross inefficiencies. In some regions, for instance, the frequencies used by cellphones can be desperately congested, while large [...]
Electronics Comes to Paper: Paper, Being Light and Foldable, Works Well for Electrically Conducting Structures
Paper, being a light and foldable raw material, is a cost-efficient and simple means of generating electrically conducting structures. Paper is becoming a high-tech material. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces in Potsdam-Golm have created targeted conductive structures on paper using a method that is quite simple: with a conventional [...]
Printable Functional ‘Bionic’ Ear Melds Electronics and Biology
Scientists at Princeton University used off-the-shelf printing tools to create a functional ear that can “hear” radio frequencies far beyond the range of normal human capability. The researchers’ primary purpose was to explore an efficient and versatile means to merge electronics with tissue. The scientists used 3D printing of cells and nanoparticles followed by [...]
Shape-Shifting Mobile Devices
Prototype mobile devices that can change shape on-demand will be unveiled today [Monday 29 April] and could lay down the foundation for creating high shape resolution devices of the future. The research paper, to be presented at one of the world’s most important conferences on human-computer interfaces, will introduce the term ‘shape resolution’ and its [...]
Battery Low? Give Your Mobile Some Water
A power source for your mobile phone can now be as close as the nearest tap, stream, or even a puddle, with the world’s first water-activated charging device. Based on micro fuel cell technology developed at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the MyFC PowerTrekk uses ordinary water to extend battery life for [...]
New Keyboard for Touchscreens Enables Faster Thumb-Typing
The research team of Antti Oulasvirta at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics has created a new keyboard called KALQ that enables faster thumb-typing on touchscreen devices. They used computational optimization techniques in conjunction with a model of thumb movement to search among millions of potential layouts before identifying one that yields superior performance. A [...]
