Coronavirus bursts Big Tech’s bubble
Virus enthusiasts from all over the world converged in San Francisco this week for America's largest security event: RSA Conference 2020. Before it began, fourteen companies withdrew from RSAC over concerns about the impending Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. On opening day, organizers sent a message through the conference app asking attendees to stop greeting each other with handshakes.
The RSA keynotes: a cautionary tale
On Feb. 29th, thousands of cybersecurity professionals will flood San Francisco's Moscone Center for RSA Conference, one of the security industry's largest and most authoritative events. This week, RSA announced its 20 keynote speakers, and if you heard a weird noise coming from Twitter, that was the InfoSec community releasing an exasperated collective WTF. In a plot twist predicted by no one, three of RSA's coveted keynote spots have gone to two actors and a producer from the TV show CSI: Cyber.
Google Chrome OS 'business version' coming in 2011
Are two (or more) versions of an OS better than one? Some say yes, and it looks like you can now count Google among them. Speaking at this week's RSA Conference, Google software security engineer Will Drewry revealed, seemingly for the first, that Google will be releasing a "business version" of Chrome OS for netbooks sometime in 2011. Details on it are still pretty light at the moment, as you might expect, but it will supposedly offer more "management muscle" than the consumer version. Drewry did drop a few more details about Chrome OS for netbooks in general, however, including the interesting tidbit that you'll be able to enable a development mode by flipping a switch located under the battery.
