Xtreme Podcast: Has Big Data been overshadowed by dark data?

Welcome to the TechGenix weekly installment of the Xtreme Minute! This is a quick summary of what you can expect in today’s TechGenix Xtreme Podcast with Louise Chalupiak and Peter King, including links to all of the latest hot tech topics.

Today we begin with an article from Twain Taylor, titled Still using legacy security tools? Get ready for disaster. Twain describes the cloud as a mysterious galaxy of networks and points out that many of us are still relying on our on-premises security tools even when deploying to the cloud. Thanks to the dark web, anyone can grab tools to create a cyberattack. Now, more than ever, it is critical to ensure that our security tools are in alignment with our IT strategy.

Our next article up for discussion is from Mitch Tulloch, titled Shedding light on dark data: Is it an opportunity or risk? Without question, we have become very good at collecting data. What we aren’t yet so good at is the dissemination and utilization of that data. In the process, we may have opened ourselves up to any number of new security risks and may even be unknowingly breaching privacy laws.

Finally, we go to the mysterious Stephen M.W. and his article titled, 10 hacking stats every business leader and IT pro must know. Stephen uses a list of statistical data to put into perspective how vulnerable we all are when it comes to malware and hacking. Big surprise, one of the culprits originates from our excessive use of email, but it doesn’t stop there.
