Internet of Everything (IoE) is a newly emerging trend especially in homes. Marketing forces towards smart homes are also accelerating the spread of IoE devices in households. An obvious danger of rapid adoption of these gadgets is that many of them lack controls for protecting the privacy and security of end users from attacks designed to disrupt lives and incur financial losses. Our research ...

The market of security software solutions for smartphones has grown considerably in the last years. A wide range of products is available. The objective of our paper is to develop an overview of security software solutions for smartphones. At first we identify typical threats and security measures for smartphones. Then we explore current security software solutions and describe how these can be...

Issues in the security of medical data present a greater challenge than in other data security environments. The complexity of the threats and ethics involved, coupled with the poor management of these threats makes the protection of data in clinical practice problematic. This paper discusses the security threats to medical data in terms of confidentiality, privacy, integrity, misuse and availa...

Few issues in the IT arena are regarded with more interest and passion than virtualization. Virtualization refers to technologies designed to provide a layer of abstraction between computer hardware systems and the software running on them. Here, we are discussing the key concepts of virtualization if you want to implement the virtualization within your environment. Many different vendors have ...

Because of this increased focus on network security, network administrators often spend more effort protecting their networks than on actual network setup and administration. New tools that probe for system vulnerabilities, such as IIS (Internet Security Scanner) assist in these efforts, but these tools only point out areas of weakness instead of providing a means to protect networks. Thus, as ...

The influx of Fortune 500 companies like IBM, Toyota and Starwood Hotels into the virtual world of Second Life has generated much publicity in 2006 and 2007. The virtual world landscape has changed substantially since. Many early adopters have abandoned virtual worlds, and the number of security-related incidents in virtual worlds has risen substantially. This paper discusses key security threa...

Internet of Things is a novel concept that semantically implies a world-wide network of uniquely addressable interconnected smart objects. It is aimed at establishing any paradigm in computing. This environment is one where the boundary between virtual and physical world is eliminated. As the network gets loaded with hitherto unknown applications, security threats also become rampant. Current s...
