Wi-Fi isn’t sufficiently secure for a number of applications, including water leak detection. A report published by Positive Technologies claims that, in 92% of cases, its researchers were able to externally penetrate 92% of companies’ internal networks in penetration tests conducted last year. The researchers also found that, at 87% of its tested clients: “Wi-Fi…

There is increasing interest among insurers in getting contractors as well as developers to buy in to the inclusion of leak detection systems in building projects. Intelligent Insurer reports. Published by Intelligent Insurer on 16th May 2019. Author: Graham Jarvis. Client: LeakSafe.

Most traditional forms of dealing with network and data latency, as well as packet loss, fall short of their promise. This includes WAN optimisation. SD-WANs are great, but their performance can also be improved by adding a WAN data acceleration layer. With the growth of the Internet of Things, therefore, organisations are looking for new…

David Hynd, chief scientist for the CAV area within TRL, remarks about what is significant about the new code of practice: “The first point is that most people are talking about automated vehicles. People are starting to settle on this term. There is some reasoning behind this definition in that they felt that autonomous implied…

“This increasing risk comes at a high price. Cybercrime has a direct GDP cost of at least $275 billion per year currently, according to researchers, RAND. All these challenges are causing headaches for CEOs, CTOs, CRMOs, and insurers, above all. It’s understandably become one of the most important risks to evaluate for insurance buyers, in…

…data will be at the heart of the smart cities of the future, and without it they’d be dumb cities. However, it will bring with it data analysis, data storage, data archiving, privacy and disaster recovery challenges. Sending increasing volumes of data over a network won’t necessarily make anything smarter if latency has its way.…

“Speech recognition programmes are running on machine learning and deep learning algorithms that require a learning period,” says Sahand Malek, a consultant at Ptolemus. So, for every new language, new dialect or accent the algorithm needs to go through a learning process, which users could find slow and frustrating. “So, by having these algorithms running…

Traditionally, backing it up isn’t easy. It’s also becoming an important way to share ideas, with social networking sites such as Facebook permitting users to record their own live video streams from their smartphones, PCs and tablets. It’s therefore an influential tool, which even Santa may wish to think about using.

Graham Jarvis assesses the cyber-security risks of emerging autonomous technology. All the major automakers are currently developing autonomous technologies and solutions for their future autonomous vehicles. These technologies introduce new cyber-security vulnerabilities, and some of which require creative assessment techniques to effectively ensure that they are safe from cyber-attacks that could lead to control of…

Challenges of realising the platooning dream explored by Graham Jarvis. The impression that many people get is that driverless cars may grab the headlines but semi-automated convoys of trucks are much closer to being seen on the nation’s roads. While that may be true, companies such as BP Ventures are investors in truck platooning with…
