Internet of Things to overtake mobile phones by 2018

The latest edition of the Ericsson Mobility Report reveals that the Internet of Things (IoT) is set to overtake mobile phones as the largest category of connected device by 2018.

Between 2015 and 2021, the number of IoT connected devices is expected to grow 23 percent annually, of which cellular IoT is forecast to have the highest growth rate. Of the 28 billion total devices that will be connected by 2021, close to 16 billion will be … Read more: http://ow.ly/t2aK500ZFdC

Human error and data breaches go hand in hand

There have been significantly more data breaches this year, compared to the year before, new figures from Egress Software Technologies suggest.

The company cross-checked data from security breaches in the past three years and says that 66 percent of the business sectors surveyed reported an increase in data breach occurrences. It would have been even higher if healthcare organizations haven’t had “just” a 13 percent increase.
Attacks against insurance firms jumped 317 percent, general businesses 157 percent, solicitors and barristers 127 percent, and even charities at … Read more: http://ow.ly/IDn0500ZE4a

Quantum satellite device tests technology for global quantum network

You can’t sign up for the quantum internet just yet, but researchers have reported a major experimental milestone towards building a global quantum network — and it’s happening in space.

With a network that carries information in the quantum properties of single particles, you can create secure keys for secret messaging and potentially connect powerful quantum computers in the future. But scientists think you will need equipment in space to get global reach.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Strathclyde, UK, have become the first to … Read more: http://ow.ly/YKjo500ZE4u

Cyber risks increase for utilities, networks and smart factories

As energy, transportation, telecommunication and manufacturing companies become more reliant on automation, robotics and connected networks, they are also increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Rather than stealing data, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure and manufacturers are more likely to target industrial control systems (ICS) to manipulate or shut-down operations. The current issue of … Read more: http://ow.ly/DMCd500ZFdz
