Google Skips Chrome 82, Resumes Stable Releases

Image
Google is on track to resume the roll-out of stable Chrome releases next week, but says it will skip one version of the browser. Last week, the Internet search giant said it was pausing upcoming releases of the browser, following an adjusted work schedule due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, and that both Chrome and Chrome OS releases would be affected. At the time, the company revealed it would focus on the stability and security of releases, and that it would prioritize security updates for Chrome 80. Now, Google says it is ready to resume pushing releases to the Stable channel as soon as the next week, with security and critical fixes meant for version 80 of the browser. Moving forth, the company is planning the release of Chrome 81 in early April, but says it would then jump directly to Chrome 83, which is set to arrive in mid-May, thus skipping Chrome 82. “M83 will be released three weeks earlier than previously planned and will include all M82 work as we cancelled

Driving digital transformation initiatives while safeguarding the enterprise is a mammoth task. In some aspects, it might even sound counter-intuitive when it comes to opening up IT infrastructure, or converging IT and OT networks to allow external parties such as partners and customers to closely interact with the organization to embrace new business models and collaboration (think cloud applications, APIs, sensors, mobile devices, etc.). Although new technology is being adopted quickly, especially web frontends, applications and APIs, much of the underlying IT infrastructure as well as the supporting processes and governance models are somewhat legacy, and struggle to keep up. For its 2020 CISO Benchmark Report , Cisco surveyed some 2,800 CISOs and other IT decision-makers from 13 countries, how they cope wit

Examining Potential Election Vulnerabilities: Are They Avoidable?

Image
In the U.S and global communities, election security is a large concern because so many aspects of it can be insecure and open to attacks that may shift public opinion or be used for personal gain. Not only does the complexity of the U.S. government raise concerns about security, campaigns also have weak points that make it a target for attacks. Limited IT Resources Put Campaigns and Voters at Risk Given limited IT budgets, volunteers — who often work directly with voters, sometimes use their own personal devices and applications to communicate with other team members and supporters; they also have access to key private data belonging to candidates and team members. These personal devices are also used to access campaign systems such as the Voter Activation Network (NGP VAN) that include voter information to s
