Featured Articles The unprecedented number of security breaches, hacks and DDoS attacks on gaming communities, software manufacturers and even Hollywood studios grew to epic proportions in Q4 of 2014. Gaming sites and their hosting providers are particularly susceptible, and you don't have to be a giant in the industry to be affected. In this article, we will explore why gaming sites are so hard-hit and how hosting providers can most effectively defend themselves. New regulation on broadband and telecommunications providers is at top of mind here at ITEXPO. Jeff Pulver, founder and chief executive of pulver.com and co-founder of Free World Dialup, Vonage and Zula , is one of many voices this week warning of the evils of new regulation stifling innovation. I buy into Pulver's position that more regulation is NOT A GOOD THING, but nobody's convinced me that either Comcast or Verizon have significantly altered their behavior to avoid the big stick of Title II regulation. One area where Verizon could make amends is in its public statements and actions to humble copper wire. Digium CEO Danny Windham made one thing clear during his keynote presentation at ITEXPO 2015: Businesses of all kinds, at every developmental level, can and must get started with unified communications as a service (UCaaS).

Where once the only role was that of firewall traversal, today SBCs are a required component of any SIP installation for that plus interoperability, security, remote worker connectivity, routing, quality of service and much more.
SBCs also enable “any-to-any” interoperability with SIP trunking, allowing any ITSP to interwork with any PBX. Learn about the latest SBC technologies and the role they play in deploying enterprise-class applications in this webinar. Case studies of real deployments will be featured. Sapphire isn't as hard and while manufactures Sapphire may be fault free, any chipping can create an artificial fault that will cause a phone screen to break if it dropped. As the folks with the hardened Kyocera Brigadier found out, even with a rubber wrapped case, the screen broke easily when dropped. When it comes to over-the-top (OTT) video, it has grown not only in developed regions but also in emerging markets, both as an alternative and complement to established free-to-air (FTA) and pay-TV platforms. As a result, Pyramid Research said that it expects paid OTT revenue in emerging markets to expand from $1.9 billion in 2014 to $6 billion in 2019. Facebook released a statement not long after the outage had hit, revealing that the cause of the shutdown was not ...the result of a third-party attack but instead occurred after we introduced a change that affected our configuration systems. Unusual for Facebook, certainly, but not out of line; these kinds of things can happen, particularly when dealing with computers. After a rough 2014 for cybercrime, it would be great to say, Oh, that speed bump is behind us, or, We built some magic widgets that will solve the problem. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Much of what criminals did in 2014 were slight modifications to what they've done before, and the pace at which we're all responding is still too slow. Sadly, I see 2015 being another very, very bumpy year for cybersecurity. The tech industry is working hard to destroy the virtual Tower of Babel. If you only speak English and Skype a Spanish speaker Microsoft will now translate your conversation in real-time. Google Translate will soon recognize popular languages and text you an instant translation. NBCUniversal is using the largest annual live sports viewing stage - the Super Bowl - to pitch consumers the benefit of a cable TV subscription - by offering a free, no-strings attached live stream of the game, pre-game, post-game and half-time programming, along with an episode of The BlackList.
