Wearable Tech – How Secure is Your Data?
Symantec, the global leader in CyberSecurity, penned a whitepaper discussing the security holes that using “wearable tech”, like a Fitbit, MapMyRun, etc. can leave users vulnerable to. These devices are designed to be user-friendly, but not necessarily secure. A compromised device could allow a wearer to be tracked by the low frequency Bluetooth signal it emits. Symantec easily built a handheld tracker device for under $100 that successfully tracked individuals without their knowledge.
Protect yourself by learning more about your devices, what data they track, and what security measures the manufacturers have built-in.

As HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) has been eluding to for the past month, their Helion Public Cloud service is being discontinued. Replacing that service, is a new reciprocal partnership between HPE and Microsoft; HPE’s preferred partner for Hybrid Cloud services is officially Microsoft Azure, and Microsoft’s preferred infrastructure partner for their Hybrid Cloud services is HPE.
With this announcement, HPE has released a new hardware appliance, the HPE Hyper Converged 250 for Microsoft CPS Standard. This pre-configured appliance is purpose-built for virtualization and flexible expansion, and comes with Windows Azure Pack pre-installed.
