<content:encoded><![CDATA[This week, Insteon joined a growing number of <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/insteon-s-troubles-are-a-smart-home-tale-as-old-as-time/ar-AAWpi4X?ocid=BingNewsSearch">failed Smart Home companies</a> that died ignoble deaths. In this latest case there was little or no warning, they just shut down and the apps stopped working.
Smart home products were pioneered by X-10 back in the 1970s and the company is <a href="https://www.x10.com/?bing&msclkid=acfeb0f5272419701a37d295aa35c1aa&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=XB%20X10.com&utm_term=www.x10.com&utm_content=Branding%20(X10.com)">apparently still around</a>. These companies didn’t understand they were effectively telephony or networking companies, which means that interoperability, ease of installation and replacement (to enable product churn and successive sales), and ease of use were critical to the products.<img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-80379" src="https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-home-300x135.png" alt="smart home" width="300" height="135" srcset="https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-home-300x135.png 300w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-home-768x346.png 768w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-home-696x313.png 696w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-home-933x420.png 933w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/smart-home.png 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
The products didn’t interoperate well, were often extremely difficult and somewhat dangerous to install, and were even more painful to replace, all of which damaged both initial and subsequent sales. User interfaces were all over the map. If you’ve been in a smart home that isn’t working right, it quickly becomes a nightmare. My next-door neighbor had his home automation ripped out after a week of use because his light kept coming on and waking him up at night (he wasn’t great with technology but shouldn’t have needed to be).
Let’s talk about why home automation isn’t working now and what needs to happen for it to have a chance.
<h2>Home Automation Requirements</h2>
There are three requirements for any networked product to be able to get to critical mass.
First, the product must interoperate so that you can have one control structure for all of them. In my own smart home, I have one app for some locks, another app for one or two others, two apps for my security cameras – and my lighting system, thanks to the Insteon failure, is on two apps.
I installed much of this so I can get it to work, but my wife isn’t a fan. Frankly, the whole thing is a management mess. Home users don’t want to be one-person IT departments in order to manage various apps, interfaces, and deal with wireless networking conflicts and interference. The point of a smart home is that it is supposed to be easier, not require an advanced degree in systems management to make it work.
The second point is that they must be relatively easy to install and to upgrade. One thing the tech industry seems to forget regularly is that it lives on churn. If you create barriers to installing upgraded products, you’ll kill potential future revenue and sales. I’m only aware of one company, <a href="https://www.noonhome.com/products">Noon Smart Lighting</a> (a subsidiary of Racepoint Energy), that addressed this problem with a Smart Switch socket that, once installed, could allow you to swap out the related switch without an electrician or the risk of getting shocked. For an Insteon switch, you first must delete it from the app and all other switches. This can take five minutes or more if it works (often it doesn’t), and then you have to pull the existing switch out, unwire it, then wire the new switch in. If you do this with the power on, be ready for several shocking moments when you accidently touch a live lead. So, you’re basically getting shock aversion therapy during the replacement, which tends to mean you won’t ever attempt another replacement.
Finally, the resulting installation must be easy to use from one interface, including voice. Amazon, Google, and even Apple have been working on that part with varied levels of success, but they don’t own the overall user experience because none of those companies make a complete solution themselves. As a result, software issues between the platforms become problematic and will fail, usually when you try to show off the system, making it hard to develop critical advocacy for the segment or any group of related products.
Companies like ADT have attempted to roll out more complete offerings connected to their security-based user interfaces, but they often don’t work well with third-party products and their own peripherals aren’t competitive with third-party offerings, making the result less than stellar.

<h2>Why Smart Home Tech is Failing</h2>
The reason smart home products are successively failing is because companies treat requirements as if they are optional. The result is product sets that don’t get to critical mass. These products need Amazon, Apple, Google, or someone else large enough to drive through a set of requirements that would make this class of offering more viable. No company has done this to date, which suggests we’ll see more companies abandoning this market or going under.
In short, if the smart home industry doesn’t get it together soon, it will fail one company at a time.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[There are times when I’m convinced that Meta (formerly known as Facebook) has a death wish.
The reasons include uneven moderation, large numbers of scam ads, a corporate structure that gives too much power to the CEO – who often seems out of control – and what appears to be a war on governments. None of these, let alone all of them, bode well for the company’s future. But when it comes to the Metaverse, I often wonder if the plan is to kill it before it is even fully formed.
The success of social media platforms so far has been based on first making them free while getting people addicted to them, and then monetizing the addiction. As savvy observers say, if the product is free, then you’re the product. It is a solid strategy that Meta appears to be casting aside in its heavy minimization approach to the Metaverse.
To say that Meta’s efforts with the Metaverse <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/article/4458938-why-facebook-metaverse-might-be-a-big-mistake" target="_blank" rel="noopener">is unfocused and lacking any connection to the customers</a> is just one aspect of the problem. Another is that Meta appears to be on the path <a href="https://watcher.guru/news/metaverse-will-repeat-past-mistakes-says-facebook-whistleblower" target="_blank" rel="noopener">of repeating Facebook’s greatest hits in terms of colossal mistakes</a>.
In addition, most recently Meta announced <a href="https://nypost.com/2022/04/12/meta-will-keep-nearly-50-cut-of-virtual-item-sales-in-metaverse/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it will take a 50% cut</a> on items sold in its Metaverse, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/judge-epic-suit-says-apple-restrictions-anti-competitive-2021-09-10/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">making Apple’s excessive charges</a> for its app store seem rather benign in contrast. With the path it’s on, Meta may kill the Metaverse before it is even launched, let alone mature.
Let’s explore what Facebook is up to this week.
Also read: <a href="https://www.internetnews.com/blog/facebook-becomes-meta-but-did-it-move-too-soon/">Facebook Becomes Meta, But Did It Move Too Soon?</a>
<h2>Building a New Immersive Platform</h2>
Like any new technology, the Metaverse is long on promise and short on actual capabilities. Successful efforts like NVIDIA’s Omniverse are very focused on what the Metaverse does well today, and that is simulation. You could argue that major multiplayer games like Fortnite and No Man’s Sky are Metaverse-like, and some do have in-game purchases, but a great deal of effort is put into not making the games appear too expensive before they get a critical mass of dedicated players.
The business model first attracts people to the platform. Once it is successful, it explores creative ways to further monetize the platform once it reaches this critical step. Abusive monetization should always be avoided but, if you are going to do it, it will work far better if you wait until people are hooked on the property before introducing that aspect.
The old “the first one is free” approach seems to work very well for properties that enable in-game purchases, particularly those that ensure the purchases won’t distract from the experience of using the platform.
Once mature, you can back out programs that alienate people, make adjustments real-time to optimize revenue and user population, and generally fine-tune the offer. But if you change too much before the platform is even launched, you run the very real risk of alienating your audience and causing your new platform to be stillborn without a critical mass of users.

<h2>Killing Meta</h2>
Currently, Meta is <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/02/02/meta-reality-labs-reports-10-billion-loss.html#:~:text=1%20Meta%20revealed%20financials%20for%20its%20%E2%80%9Cmetaverse%E2%80%9D%20business,money%20to%20find%20its%20next%20stage%20of%20growth." target="_blank" rel="noopener">losing massive amounts of money</a>, and it seems like the effort is actively scaring off those that would otherwise use it. On its current trajectory, it may become the most expensive failed effort in the history of technology largely because users seem to be locked out of the creation effort.
The technology appears to be decades behind what companies like NVIDIA have shown is possible, and is heavily dependent on VR Glasses that aren’t yet ideal. It’s also based on prosthetics, which killed 3D TV, all of which may mean it becomes the most expensive technology mistake of this century before long.
<h2>Keep an Eye on Your Audience</h2>
When developing a high-profile project like the Metaverse, you need three things: A very clear idea of what your audience will accept; you need to initially focus on getting to a critical mass of users before playing around with monetization (particularly abusive monetization); and the people who will be paying for the service should be helping you create it.
Meta is missing the mark on every point. It looks too expensive before anyone has even seen the final product, making it likely Meta will never get to a critical mass of users. A failure of this magnitude could set back the creation of the Metaverse for consumers a decade or more by massively overcharging and disappointing them. This failure would once again highlight why giving a CEO, any CEO, near absolute control while they are still learning the job to be an incredibly foolish mistake, one we are experiencing in real-time with the likely failed birth of Meta’s Metaverse.

This week, Qualcomm held an event in Washington, D.C. to raise concerns about intellectual property creation, control and protection – and specifically against the rise of China as a technological powerhouse that could displace U.S. leadership.
The opening keynote by <a href="https://cissm.umd.edu/our-community/faculty-staff/susan-c-schwab">Susan C. Schwab</a>, an expert in negotiating trade disputes at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy, spoke of a troubling future where trade is a weapon and control over global markets is the goal.
She was followed by <a href="https://www.ipwatchdog.com/people/chief-judge-paul-michel-cafc-ret/">Paul Michel</a>, an ex-federal judge focused on IP protection, <a href="https://www.csis.org/people/john-j-hamre">John J. Hamre</a>, Chair of American Leadership at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, <a href="https://www.nscai.gov/commissioners/hon-katherina-mcfarland/">Katherine McFarland</a>, Chair of the National Academies of Science Board of Army Research and Development, Ellen Lord, former undersecretary of defense for acquisition and sustainment, and <a href="https://itif.org/person/robert-d-atkinson">Robert Atkinson</a>, President of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation.
In essence, the panelists argued that the U.S. process of procurement, which is cost-focused, is badly broken. It doesn’t collaborate well with other, more strategic government functions, and its excess focus on cost is restricting U.S. innovation severely and unnecessarily, particularly in cutting-edge defense projects.
Let’s talk about Qualcomm’s efforts to focus the government on protecting U.S. technical leadership – and the companies driving that leadership.
<h2>China Prioritizes Standards, Startup Innovation</h2>
The panelists said China has heavily funded its efforts to take technology leadership and control of standards bodies by fielding hundreds of people to attend standards body meetings in order to dominate the effort.
China also aggressively funds development efforts and doesn’t seem to care if the companies they are funding gain profitability. As long as those companies demonstrate progress, they have a pool of money and resources they can pull from to keep operating.
This is in sharp contrast to the U.S., where only the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) gets what amounts to a nearly blank check and isn’t punished for mistakes. One of the agency’s larger initiatives across a variety of large U.S. companies enables innovation and doesn’t punish executives if they shoot for the stars and miss.
This ability to take reasonable chances is one of the advantages companies have that the U.S. government, DARPA aside, does not. If you screw up any place else, politicians will punish you, leading to reduced risk-taking. Since risk-taking fuels innovation, the rate of strong innovation is arguably going into decline.
One of the big differences is that when it comes to antitrust issues, China is more circumspect and appears more surgical in its approach, while the U.S. has often been more draconian. For instance, when the U.S, broke up Standard Oil, control over world oil production moved out of the U.S. When they crippled RCA, Japan gained domination in consumer electronics. And when they broke up AT&T, many of the beneficiaries would eventually become companies like China’s Huawei.
The panel argued that antitrust efforts should be focused on maintaining any market advantages the U.S. has instead of crippling U.S. companies if such moves send the related revenue offshore.

<h2>Government Needs to Allow for Profit</h2>
The panel wasn’t fond of how defense projects are funded and managed. Panelists argued that the people managing the bids were so focused on denying companies profit, the firms weren’t incentivized to find better ways to do things or even use more advanced technologies that would be far better once the defense system was put into production.
They argued that this process made sense when the government funded R&D, but now the companies tend to fund those efforts. If there’s no financial upside to otherwise massive risks, companies will become overly conservative, and new companies will be discouraged from entering the segment. For consumers, this means we are paying more for solutions that are obsolete as soon as they’re released, as opposed to being ahead of the curve.
While panelists argued for more businesspeople in the mix, I think that would be problematic unless they had a critical mass of people trained in both business and government to ensure the business folks didn’t burn out on governmental processes and political dynamics. But according to the panelists, businesspeople are financially discouraged from learning government processes, making it very hard to train people for those positions. As a result, people who are good at both roles are effectively non-existent in government today.
<h2>U.S. Competitiveness is On the Line</h2>
While this was a Qualcomm-sponsored event and clearly backed by Qualcomm’s powerful and well-run licensing division, there was virtually no Qualcomm content. The entire event was focused on making the U.S. a better place to innovate, with a particular focus on military innovation so the U.S. can be prepared for the next war, which is especially prescient given what’s happening with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (and the tangential cyber risks too).
The keynote speaker and other panel members made a strong argument that the U.S. government not only fails to support U.S. innovation aggressively enough, but it’s also making moves that appear to force innovation to follow oil and consumer electronics to other countries, especially China.
The biggest point was that politicians and government organizations, DARPA being the standout exception, fail to focus hard enough on U.S. success, and that needs to change before China is looking at the U.S. in its rear-view mirror, with respect to technology in general and defense in particular.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[HP has been making some interesting moves of late. The latest, to <a href="https://www.eweek.com/it-management/hewlett-packard-buys-poly/">acquire Poly</a>, is one of the most interesting, because unlike HP’s more diverse peers that are expanding in all directions, HP is instead focusing on increasing its depth in the desktop and collaboration segments.
Poly, a combination of Polycom and Plantronics that previously went by the name Polycom, is one of the leading suppliers of headsets, cameras and accessories used for telephone and video calls, and for collaboration.
Let’s talk about HP’s desktop, communications and collaboration strategy this week and what the company is putting together.
<h2>Building a Strategic Advantage</h2>
There are several ways to build a company, many of them very risky. An example of a risky path is to buy into markets you do not know or understand.
The best examples of that were Chrysler in the 1960s and 1970s going into aircraft and yachts, AT&T going into computers and IBM doing telephony. In all three cases the firms thought they were going into similar industries, but they were blind to the unique differences, and the efforts ended catastrophically for both the acquired firms and the firms doing the acquiring.
A far safer path is to saturate an industry you are already in with product selections, and desktop technology is one area HP has down, along with PCs, PC peripherals (including VR headsets), printers, cameras, monitors – and a growing focus on pulling them together into increasingly well integrated office solutions.
As we move to more of a hybrid work model, one of the biggest opportunities is to better integrate telephony and computing, and up until now, only Cisco, which is light in desktop computing, was making this attempt. With the acquisition of Poly, HP is making its own move, and this may inspire the company to again explore the level of integration both AT&T and IBM attempted when telephony and computing were far different.
Also read: <a href="https://www.internetnews.com/enterprise/hp-builds-an-advanced-cloud-workstation-for-the-metaverse/">HP Builds an Advanced Cloud Workstation for the Metaverse</a>
<h2>Why HP’s Approach is Better</h2>
When I worked at IBM, I shared a lab and owned the converged PC Telephony desktop products as a Competitive Analyst (I was not a product manager, but I did have to know how these products would compete).
Right now, few of us have an integrated experience. Moving from a call to a video conference to a video collaboration session is not at all elegant or easy. The result of this difficulty is a disconnected mess of cell phones, office phones, PCs, huddle and conference room equipment that create a mess of tools that are needlessly complex to use and manage.
With the Poly acquisition, assuming it is approved, HP is on a path to really clean up the desktop and begin combining these elements so that users can more easily transition to the tools they need as the call evolves to facilitate better collaboration and communication.
Initially, these will be headsets that improve moving from the desk telephone to the Zoom or Teams call. Eventually, the call could come into the PC, making it easier to uplift it into a more collaborative video event dynamically when needed.
If this effort is successful, and it should be, the end game will be desks with fewer things on them and a vastly easier solution for users that need these transactions and for IT to manage. And let us not forget HP’s industry-leading Wolf Security effort: The result should also be a far more secure desktop, something we all need given the state of the world today.

<h2>A Complete Desktop Solution</h2>
H’’s acquisition of Poly, if successful (and it should be), begins what is potentially one of the biggest battles for control of the desktop. It will rely on Microsoft tools for virtual smartphone integration with the desktop, which will be surrounded by Poly-based peripherals that allow users to more easily and rapidly shift from voice, to video and to collaboration, on the fly and as needed.
It will be interesting to see how HP’s peers respond, but with Poly, HP is making a major step toward owning the most complete desktop solution in the market.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[Ossia is a fascinating company and technology. What Ossia sells is a wireless power solution that, unlike the inductive wireless technology currently being used for devices and electric cars, can transmit up to eight meters (around 26 feet). That’s roughly 20 feet more than the typical limits of inductive technology.
Ossia’s wireless power solution can’t handle the amount of power inductive charging can handle, at least not yet, and it doesn’t have the data capacity of Wi-Fi, but it does have enough capacity to keep larger devices mostly charged when not in use, and it can power smaller devices (switches, small LED lights, trackers and sensors) more completely.
Ossia is currently rolling out the technology, with the first products ranging from grocery store use (small wirelessly powered price and static information displays), cars (switches, sensors, and some low-powered devices), trackers (people/pets), and nanny cams (which will use Wi-Fi for the data channel).
I met with Ossia this week to learn about the technology’s potential. Let’s talk about what kind of revolution this could cause this week.
<h2>Automotive Wireless Power</h2>
I have worked on cars my whole life and they have gone from being simple to incredibly complicated. They typically have a number of wired data networks and a power network, all moving over wires that can, if they are not properly set, short or break, causing a nightmare for a mechanic who must figure out where a problem – which may be initially intermittent – is located.
If you could take most of the stuff that is low-powered (switches, map lights, seat sensors, parking sensors, brake sensors, etc.) and power and connect their control interface and data sending capabilities wirelessly, you could massively reduce the labor cost to build and repair the car. In fact, I expect that in most cases you would just need to remove the non-functioning module, replace it and then authenticate it to the system.
One of the most annoying things about current cars is the TPMS sensors that monitor tire pressure. They use little power, but they eventually will run out, which causes you to get a low-pressure warning and forces an expensive trip to the store to get new sensors installed, often costing over $75 each, and you will need at least four of them. With Ossia’s technology, tire sensors would almost never run out of power for the life of the car.
Another place this has been a problem is removable seats in vans or SUVs that have occupancy sensors. If those sensors were wireless, you’d just need to pull out the seats. Right now, you also have to unplug them and, if you forget, you”ll either break the wires and damage the system, or forget to plug them back in, causing the system to misreport the related occupancy level (which could be problematic if you have a small child that unbuckled themselves prior to an accident).
Also read: <a href="https://www.internetnews.com/news/5g-satellite-p2p-long-battery-life/">5G’s Latest Advances Include Satellite Support, P2P Connectivity, Long Battery Life</a>
<h2>Powering Home Devices</h2>
In the home, the technology would indefinitely extend battery life for remote controls and keep your pet’s tracker charged in case he or she wanders out of the house. Right now, if you have that tracker on the charger or the battery has gone dead, you are out of luck if your pet escapes when someone forgets to close a door, jumps a fence, or it just sneaks out.<img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-80360" src="https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ossia-cota-249x300.jpg" alt="ossia cota" width="249" height="300" srcset="https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ossia-cota-249x300.jpg 249w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ossia-cota-850x1024.jpg 850w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ossia-cota-768x925.jpg 768w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ossia-cota-696x839.jpg 696w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ossia-cota-1068x1287.jpg 1068w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ossia-cota-349x420.jpg 349w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/ossia-cota.jpg 1235w" sizes="(max-width: 249px) 100vw, 249px" />
This would also work great with tile-like products used to track things inside your home, like your keys or phone, which again, if the tile battery is dead when you misplace the item, good luck. Ossia’s technology would prevent that dilemma.
Keypads and other critical controls wouldn’t have batteries dying at inopportune times. Dare we dream of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors that don’t run out of batteries in the middle of the night?
Finally, and this is a personal annoyance, you can use this to power your wireless drapes or shades by making sure both the switch and the shades or drapes stay charged, avoiding the need to replace the batteries or having to hire an electrician to wire them to power. (My outside shades are hardwired but use wireless switches, but my inside blinds are battery- powered at both ends, and they are a pain in the butt to change.)
<h2>Enterprise and Healthcare Uses</h2>
The most exciting uses could be in the enterprise, where Ossia’s wireless power could be used for occupancy sensors to keep electrical bills down, for battery-powered charging cradles, electronic locks (using a capacitor for locking and unlocking, which also works in cars as well), for switches (you could eliminate the wiring between the switches and the lights, and configure both logically without wiring them together), and to keep things like cell phones, headsets, wireless keyboards and mice endlessly charged.
Factory sensors and control systems, IoT devices, HVAC controls, and a variety of other low-powered devices that currently use power could evolve to be fully wireless.
In medical facilities, most of the sensors, monitors, alarms, lighting controls, some of the lights and low-powered medical devices would never need batteries or hard wiring anymore. And battery powered devices that are only used occasionally could move from batteries to capacitors or just be powered by the new wireless network.
<h2>Tesla’s Vision Realized</h2>
Having wireless power that can be delivered over distance has been on our long list of unmet needs going back to before Nikola Tesla, who was one of the first to try to bring wireless power to market.
Once deployed, Ossia’s technology could massively reduce the amount of toxic battery waste going into landfills, reduce the cost and annoyance of replacing most batteries, make trackers far more reliable, cut the cost of wiring homes, vehicles, and other complex passenger or freight types of uses.
It could help keep our robotic devices (robot vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers, for example) charged, and it could assure your pet tracker and phone, or even PC, are never undercharged. Even laptops could get away with much smaller batteries while maintaining the same unplugged power life. Imagine a digital assistant, security camera or nanny cam that you would not have to wire or ever change the batteries.
That last use suggests we may need some security controls because it would also make it easier to slip a powered wireless microphone or camera into any area covered by an Ossia transmitter.
This week I saw the coming future of wireless power at scale. Nikola Tesla would be proud.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[After more than a year of <a href="https://www.internetnews.com/security/colonial-pipeline-lessons-ransomware-and-security-steps-everyone-should-take/">high-profile cyber attacks</a> and now the threat of cyber war, businesses and even consumers are taking cybersecurity seriously.
Regardless of size or sector, every company is a potential target, and cybercrime will only grow as data becomes more valuable. In light of these risks, organizations need to reevaluate their internet security software.
As many as <a href="https://usa.kaspersky.com/blog/cybersecurity-budget-2022/26022/">85% of IT pros</a> expect to raise their cybersecurity budgets in 2022, providing plenty of room for new security software. To help make the most informed decision, here are our picks for the 12 best internet security solutions available today, by category, with a couple of bonus picks thrown in at the end.
<h2>Antivirus Software</h2>
The most recognizable type of <a href="https://www.fortunebusinessinsights.com/iot-internet-of-things-security-market-103852" target="_blank" rel="noopener">internet security</a> software is also one of the most critical. These three anti-malware solutions are some of the best for detecting and removing cyber threats.
<h3>Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security</h3>
Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security boasts high scores in a range of <a href="https://www.esecurityplanet.com/endpoint/mitre-edr-evaluations-carbanak-fin7/">independent security tests</a>, an impressive testament to its reliability. The solution includes many helpful security tools like full-disk encryption, automatic backups and machine learning-based threat prevention. These advanced features carry down to even its consumer software, making Bitdefender a good choice for consumers too.<img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-80358" src="https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-300x225.png" alt="hacker" width="300" height="225" srcset="https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-300x225.png 300w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-1024x768.png 1024w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-768x576.png 768w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-696x522.png 696w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-1068x801.png 1068w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-560x420.png 560w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-80x60.png 80w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker-265x198.png 265w, https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/hacker.png 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" />
GravityZone also boasts several accessibility features, including remote installation and a consolidated, easy-to-navigate window. However, limited third-party integrations and a sometimes slow dashboard stand in the way of being the most user-friendly option.
Pricing varies depending on contract length and the number of devices you want to protect, with rates dropping for longer contracts and more endpoints. Overall, GravityZone offers some of the most protection of any anti-malware solution without being excessively pricey or difficult to use.
<h3>Avast Ultimate Business Security</h3>
Avast Ultimate Business Security is a solid alternative. Like GravityZone, Avast uses machine learning threat protection to stay on top of the latest trends and user-specific security considerations. The software has also won multiple awards for easy setup and use, making it a user-friendly option.
Avast does offer two more affordable tiers, but they don’t come with patch management, which helps manage updates in third-party software. Businesses shouldn’t ignore that service, considering how crucial it is to keep all applications up to date. Other helpful features include webcam protection and strong support.
Unfortunately, Avast Ultimate Business Security is only available on Windows devices. As a result, it may not be sufficient for every company.
<h3>Trend Micro Apex One</h3>
Trend Micro’s Apex One is one of the most far-reaching anti-malware options. The software works on both Windows and Mac operating systems and is available as an on-premises and software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution. A free trial helps make it even more accessible.
Apex One’s accessibility doesn’t hinder its security, either. The solution uses safe listing techniques to reduce false positives, behavior analytics to highlight suspicious activity and offers extensive, GDPR-compliant encryption services.
Some users say Apex One lacks the ease of use and speed of some alternatives, which can be problematic for some companies. However, if that’s not a major issue, this is one of the best solutions for protecting a broad range of devices.
<h2>Password Managers</h2>
Another important type of security software to consider is a password manager. Studies show that <a href="https://www.secureauth.com/newsroom/53-of-people-admit-they-reuse-the-same-password-for-multiple-accounts/#:~:text=Just%20in%20time%20for%20World,report%20by%20identity%20company%20SecureAuth.">53% of people reuse passwords</a> across multiple accounts, and 44% use the same passwords for work and personal logins. It only takes one breach to jeopardize an entire network, so businesses should consider one of these three options.
<h3>Keeper</h3>
Keeper boasts millions of business users across thousands of small and medium businesses, and it’s easy to see why. The software provides a private vault for each user to store their passwords, one-click login across the web, and seamless use across virtually all platforms.
One of the best features Keeper offers businesses is the ability to customize access controls. Managers can use the platform to enable role-based access, securing business accounts beyond simple password strength. Built-in reporting and auditing tools also help IT managers monitor policy compliance and enforce standards.
Keeper also offers dark web monitoring for breached passwords. Prices start around $4 per user, making it an affordable solution too.
<h3>1Password</h3>
1Password is an even more popular solution, with more than 100,000 businesses using the software. The service is one of the most user-friendly on the market, offering one-click login, custom group and role assignments, customizable access policies and integrations with many third-party apps.
Each 1Password business user also gets a family account for free. That way, employees can stay safe at home, helping companies foster a natural culture of security. Managers can also create custom reporting tools to align the software with their specific business and security goals.
1Password is more expensive than Keeper, costing $7.99 per user per month. However, its extensive features and ease of use may justify the price for many businesses.
<h3>Dashlane</h3>
Dashlane is one of the most recognizable names among consumer password managers, but it serves companies, too. In fact, it offers two solutions for business users: Team and Business. Team provides the standard consumer package, with administrative tools like password monitoring and policy management, while Business offers more advanced controls.
In both plans, Dashlane protects passwords with 256-bit encryption and enables one-click accessibility for logins, two-factor authentication and offboarding. The service also compiles usage metrics and administrative controls into a single window.
Dashlane Team costs $5 per user per month, while the more in-depth Dashlane Business costs $8 per user per month. The best one depends on your budget and the amount of control you need.
<h2>VPNs</h2>
Virtual private networks (VPNs) have become an increasingly popular security tool for businesses. About <a href="https://www.theladders.com/press/25-of-all-professional-jobs-in-north-america-will-be-remote-by-end-of-next-year">25% of all professional jobs</a> will go remote by the end of the year, and organizations need ways to secure their employees when they’re on different networks. These three VPNs can help.
<h3>Perimeter81</h3>
Perimeter81 markets itself as a VPN alternative, but it performs essentially the same function. Unlike traditional VPNs, the cloud-based solution includes zero-trust features, top-down network visibility, and edge computing capabilities to reduce latency. As a result, it’s one of the fastest and most secure options available.
Perimeter81 allows users to choose between multiple VPN protocols, even deploying many at once. As a result, it fills security gaps that traditional, more limited VPNs may not. It also features proactive security features that automatically block public Wi-Fi threats.
Plans are available for as low as $8 a month per user, but you’ll have to pay more if you want zero-trust functions for more than two applications. Overall, though, Perimeter81 is fairly affordable for what it offers.
<h3>NordLayer</h3>
NordLayer is the business version of the popular NordVPN for consumers. The VPN offers 256-bit encryption and servers in 33 countries, giving teams security and flexibility. The service is also one of the most affordable, starting at just $7 a month.
NordLayer lacks the zero-trust capabilities of Perimeter81, but its features are far from sparse. The service includes double data encryption, customizable permissions, dedicated servers, and single sign-on across third-party apps like GSuite, Azure AD and Okta.
A centralized control panel makes it easy for IT heads to manage their teams and monitor usage. The service also supports all major platforms, including Linux, so teams can use it seamlessly across devices and operating systems.
<h3>ExpressVPN</h3>
<a href="https://reviews.financesonline.com/p/expressvpn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ExpressVPN</a> also made its name in the consumer VPN space. The service lacks a dedicated business plan, but it can still be useful for companies. It boasts 160 locations across 94 countries, up to five simultaneous devices per user and some of the fastest speeds on the market.
ExpressVPN also works across virtually every platform, even Kindle Fire, Chromebook and Nook, in addition to more traditional operating systems like Windows and Linux. It’s also available as a browser extension, making it accessible on any internet-connected device businesses might use.
The service’s lack of a business option does come with some downsides. Managers won’t have the visibility and control that other solutions offer, and buying multiple individual accounts will be expensive. However, it remains a fast and accessible option for smaller, remote teams.
<h2>Security Suites</h2>
Paying for anti-malware, password management and VPN software separately can quickly get expensive. While data breaches are expensive, costing $4.24 million on average in the latest IBM-Ponemon survey, IT teams likely need ways to reduce security spending. Comprehensive suites are the ideal solution, and here are three of the best.
<h3>Norton 360 Premium</h3>
Norton 360 comes in three tiers, with Premium providing the most functionality and accessibility. The service covers up to 10 devices, working across PC, Mac, Android and Apple mobile endpoints.
360 Premium includes:
<ul>
<li>Multilayered malware protection</li>
<li>A VPN</li>
<li>Dark web monitoring</li>
<li>Password management</li>
<li>100 GB of cloud backups</li>
</ul>
Dedicated webcam protection also alerts users when a hacker or program tries to access their webcam, a growing concern as IoT cybercrime increases.
At $124 a year, 360 Premium isn’t the cheapest solution on the market, but it’s considerably more affordable than using multiple independent programs.
<h3>McAfee Total Protection Premium</h3>
Like Norton 360 Premium, McAfee Total Protection premium supports up to 10 devices. It also comes with a virus protection pledge, stating that the company will give you your money back if it fails to remove viruses from your devices.
McAfee Total Protection Premium covers all the services most teams need, including:
<ul>
<li>Anti-malware</li>
<li>Unlimited VPN bandwidth</li>
<li>Password management</li>
<li>Identity monitoring</li>
<li>Sensitive file deletion</li>
<li>Protection scores to inform security improvements</li>
</ul>
An annual cost of just $44.99 for new customers makes it far more affordable than some other solutions. However, some users remark that the VPN doesn’t work evenly across all devices and that performance suffers during malware scans.
<h3>Kaspersky Total Security</h3>
Kaspersky has been under scrutiny because of its Russian roots, but the company remains a leader in the cybersecurity space and also sells a comprehensive security suite. Kaspersky Total Security covers up to 10 devices like the other two and works across Windows, Mac, iOS and Android.
Kaspersky’s Total Security Premium package includes:
<ul>
<li>Real-time antivirus protection</li>
<li>Anti-phishing measures</li>
<li>300 MB of VPN traffic per day</li>
<li>Password management</li>
<li>Webcam and mic protection</li>
<li>Private browsing</li>
</ul>
Kaspersky Total Security offers the most features of any suite, but they don’t always perform to the same level as others. Its $74.99-a-year price tag lands it in the middle for costs.
<h2>Wi-Fi 6 Routers</h2>
Lastly, a quick word on Wi-Fi 6 routers. While some may be a little pricey for home users, Wi-Fi 6 routers from top network security companies like Palo Alto Networks (Okyo) and Fortinet (Fortinet-Linksys HomeWRK) could make very attractively priced secure networking solutions for small businesses.
<h2>Stay Safe on the Internet</h2>
Regardless of your team’s roles and cybersecurity needs, software is available to help. Knowing what’s available can lead to the most informed decisions, balancing security with affordability and accessibility. IT leaders who understand what they need and what they can get will find the best possible solutions for their organization.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[For much of the last two decades, the microprocessor market has been defined by companies divorcing themselves from manufacturing to focus solely on design and sales.
But since the pandemic, and now the war in Ukraine, it has become clear that this business model puts too much manufacturing capacity in Asia and creates huge supply problems if that region is impacted by extreme weather, geopolitical instability, or a major world health event like a pandemic.
Intel was being pushed to go fabless, but considering the problems listed above, it was clear that doing so would have just exacerbated the logistics problems. Instead, Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger massively increased Intel’s investment in <a href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/intel-announces-next-us-site-landmark-investment-ohio.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">manufacturing in the U.S.</a> first, and then, this week, <a href="https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/eu-news-2022-release.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced a similar effort in Europe</a> to help definitively overcome the supply shortage for semiconductors across the ecosystem.
Let’s talk about Intel’s plans this week and what they mean for the company and the chip industry.
Also read: <a href="https://www.internetnews.com/enterprise/intel-maps-out-ambitious-comeback-plans/">Intel Maps Out Ambitious Comeback Plans</a>
<h2>The Chip Logistics Problem</h2>
Whether we are talking about the spiking pandemic in China, where much of the world’s manufacturing capacity exists, or the war in Ukraine, where half of the world’s neon gas comes from (neon is critical to semiconductor manufacturing), the semiconductor market is in a world of hurt. More things are using semiconductors at a time when semiconductor manufacturing and the materials needed for that manufacturing have been significantly reduced.<img decoding="async" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-80344" src="https://www.internetnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/intel-logo-2022-300x157.jpg" alt="intel logo" width="300" height="157" />
Cars use a huge number of semiconductors, so car makers are having to hold cars or deliver them incomplete after removing attractive options because they cannot get the parts needed for them to work. This is increasing car prices while lowering vehicles’ capabilities and availability, casting a huge dark cloud over the entire automotive industry.
Technology designed to fight climate change and to put AIs into more critical places to help with things like medical diagnosis and disease protection has also slowed significantly. With the potential for a global war now in progress – including on the cybersecurity front – the need for more advanced weapons will gobble up available supply.
To address these and other shortage problems, Intel has stepped up.
<h2>Intel’s European Plans</h2>
Intel announced a massive increase in its European investments, with more than $18 billion going into fabs in Germany and $13 billion going into expanding manufacturing capacity in Ireland. This effort, coupled with the $20 billion plant planned in Ohio and expansions to other existing Intel facilities should provide a counterbalance to the existing manufacturing capacity in Asia.
You might think this would hurt Asian companies and countries, particularly Taiwan, but the massive increase in semiconductor demand that is partially driving these investments should still exceed this new capacity so, while the result will be greater logistical balance in production, Asia shouldn’t see a decline. As Asia wasn’t able to keep up with growth and will also be investing, the combination should result in a far more robust supply chain for semiconductors going forward.
In addition, Intel has done something incredible given its closed history by opening this manufacturing capacity to third parties so that everyone, well except for Russian firms now, benefits from this capacity increase. It is also interesting to note that this effort was supported in the U.S. by a CHIPS Act that contributed funding, and in the EU by another Chips Act that added $20 billion to the European effort.
Combined, both the U.S. and EU’s governments, for once, are in lock step and funding similar efforts to enhance both regions’ ability to overcome the logistical nightmares their industries are now suffering through.

<h2>Building the Digital Revolution</h2>
We are at the forefront of the next Industrial Revolution. This revolution is being enabled by semiconductors being used to provide AI capabilities in systems ranging from manufacturing and automotive to utilities and weaponry. Without adequate capacity, the so-called digital transformation will stall, leaving many companies and countries in no-man’s land where you know what you need but cannot get it.
This week, Intel stepped up to solve the problem and is making huge investments in the U.S. and now in the EU to ensure that the Digital Revolution driven by semiconductors will occur on schedule and at scale, hopefully also assuring a far better tomorrow.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[We live in a wireless world, yet it often seems like the technology to manage that world lags significantly behind what we need to keep our people safe.
I discovered a company this week called <a href="https://wyebot.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wyebot</a> that has a unique solution for managing wireless networks. What makes Wyebot different is that it uses an AI-driven, sensor-based approach to manage Wi-Fi that is superior to anything else I have seen so far.
This sensor approach sees the network from the perspective of an automated user and does not drag down either user performance or network performance while it does its job.
Let’s talk about Wyebot this week and its technology could mean for our wireless future.
<h2>Wireless Network Problems</h2>
Most wireless management tools tend to be manual, reactive, and tied to the hardware that has been installed on the network. As a result, when a user has a problem, it is often hard to diagnose because it could be anything from the user’s hardware to a problem with the DNS service.
All the user sees is that they are not able to reliably connect. The help desk must determine what the problem is, with the first suggestion being to turn off the user’s computer to see if the problem will go away with a reset.
Depending on the help desk, this typically means that by the time the problem is fixed, the user is upset and has lost a lot of time they needed to get their work done. Before IoT, you could instrument the user to help determine the problem, but even then, for a network connection issue, you had to find a wired network to connect to. It is much harder to diagnose a disconnected PC.
In addition, you can have a lot of other issues. The access point may not be able to see things like rogue access points, microwave interference, poor reception, interference with third-party access points not under the firm’s control, and attempted breaches. And even with IoT, devices may be unable to run network diagnostic tools even if they are connected to the network.

<h2>Wyebot to the Rescue</h2>
What makes Wyebot unique is that it uses sensors that act as clients to the access points (one sensor can cover up to 6 access points) to see what the user or the IoT device is seeing.
It automatically tracks the performance as seen by a user or IoT device and then alerts you to any problems while automatically providing a list of fixes. I expect future versions of this product will either automatically fix the problems or have a one-button repair, but the current version still requires an admin to make the correction, often before the user is even aware there was a problem.
The product’s dashboard shows active clients by name, how those clients are distributed, RR Analytics (for interference identification and access point loading), all of the networks in view of the sensor both controlled and coming in from outside, event tracking/reporting/mitigation, internet performance, video collaboration loading and performance, DNS performance, and an integrated tool called Link Doctor which does seven focused tests on demand or by schedule.
Events are tracked by time and as noted, an admin can often correct a problem before a user ever sees it or an IoT device like a camera starts failing. The demonstration I was taken through used Cisco Meraki, but the tool will work with every major networking provider in the U.S. and in Europe (Wyebot is operating only in the U.S. and Europe now).
With this tool, you should be able to better manage SLAs and, I expect, it would be particularly useful in satellite offices and schools where IT is remote. In fact, one of Wyebot’s larger clients is the Mannheim Schools system. Currently, they cover up to Wi-Fi 6, with 6E due this summer. One area that particularly caught my eye as a gamer was the ability to diagnose latency and tools to significantly reduce it.

<h2>Better User Experience </h2>
We live in a wireless world and having a strong tool to automatically diagnose problems and help mitigate them without involving the user would be a godsend. Wyebot appears to be just such a tool. It uses a sensor that acts like a user but provides an administrator with proactive information that should reduce related trouble tickets, and make the user experience when generating a ticket far less aggravating because the help desk can almost immediately see what the problem is without first asking the user to power <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nn2FB1P_Mn8" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on and off their PC</a> to see if that fixes it.
In the end, we all want happier users and fewer complaints and annoyed users. Wyebot appears to do both and is worth considering particularly if you have been having a lot of wireless network issues.

5G capabilities are being built into more and more devices.
Beyond just connecting mobile devices and laptops to networks, what other applications of 5G might we see in the future?
To help you better understand what kind of applications of 5G you can expect to see, we asked tech experts and business leaders this question for their thoughts. From autonomous vehicles to helpful advertising, there are several 5G applications that we can expect to see at some point. Here we focus on seven.

<h3><a id="AR"></a>Augmented Reality</h3>
5G is going to pave the way for more sophisticated technology of all kinds to enter our marketplace. Augmented reality is certainly one form of this technology that will rely on 5G to deliver a seamless experience. As you can imagine, there are millions of ways augmented reality can change the way we do business and simple daily tasks!
Vanessa Molica, <a href="https://www.thelashprofessional.com">The Lash Professional</a>
<h3><a id="autos"></a>Autonomous Vehicles</h3>
An example of 5G we will see in the near future is autonomous vehicles! In some countries, these vehicles are already on the road and collecting huge amounts of data. 5G is an important player in this technology as network speed is crucial to the functionality of the vehicle.
John Yardley, <a href="https://threads.cloud">Threads</a>
<h3><a id="IoT"></a>The Internet Of Things</h3>
Wearable technology, trackers, and sensors will be a big market for 5G. Imagine all of your gadgets, appliances, and machines are connected to each other over a cellular connection, in addition to phones, tablets, and laptops that are already connected today. 5G will enable far more devices to operate seamlessly with one another without issue!
Peter Babichenko, <a href="https://saharacase.com/">SaharaCase</a>
<h3><a id="remotework"></a>Remote Work Becoming More Reliable On The Road</h3>
The implication of 5G in RVs is tremendous. Travelers open up new abilities for higher quality, 4K entertainment on visits to national parks. Remote workers can turn an RV into a reliable, mobile home office. Content creators can open up opportunities to increase capacity with uploading and downloading abilities. That’s just the surface. It should be fun to see how 5G impacts the travel experience for years to come.
Randall Smalley, <a href="https://www.cruiseamerica.com/">Cruise America</a>
<h3><a id="smartwatches"></a>Smart Watches</h3>
<a href="https://www.ticwatches.com/watches-c147/smart-t1489">Smart watches</a> in the future have the potential to be even smarter with 5G. For example, fitness trackers on smart watches can make use of 5G with things like heart monitoring, activity tracking, and GPS tracking. There’s just a higher capacity of data that can be transmitted with less interference from wireless signals. It should be fun to see how smart watches evolve and how notifications improve the overall fitness experience.
Daniel Richmond, <a href="https://www.ticwatches.com/">Tic Watches</a>
<h3><a id="ads"></a>Helpful Advertising</h3>
The hypersensitivity surrounding personalized advertising is about to get worse through 5G. Increased data collection from cellular providers will translate to ads that are increasingly targeted towards consumer behavior and preferences. If people already raise the question of, “How did they know to display that ad to me?” 5G has the capacity to take things to another level through the collection of more data. While data collection may inspire some people to go back to flip phones, others may find that advertising can get increasingly more helpful in connecting consumers with products or services designed just for them.
Brett Farmiloe, <a href="https://markitors.com/">Markitors</a>
<h3><a id="smartcities"></a>The Move To Smart Cities</h3>
The concept of smart cities can’t be fully introduced without sufficient data exchange capabilities brought by 5G. This technology can enable coordinating road traffic systems to minimise congestion, efficient energy use and air quality control, to just name a few. Real-time decision making can make a big difference in how the city architecture is utilised and how resources are used, especially in densely populated areas.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[When it comes to technological breakthroughs, we’re often well into the deployment of the new technology before anyone figures out we need to manage all aspects of it. The metaverse will likely prove to be no exception.
The metaverse uses existing <a href="https://www.internetnews.com/enterprise/intel-vs-amd/">servers</a> and <a href="https://www.internetnews.com/enterprise/hp-builds-an-advanced-cloud-workstation-for-the-metaverse/">workstations</a>, which already have a variety of management tools used to manage them at scale. But the predominantly new thing with the metaverse is the Extended Reality (XR) aspect of the environment. When you are using the metaverse for collaboration, losing a headset or having a headset that doesn’t work will critically damage the result.
Once the metaverse becomes far more common, we’ll need a way to manage not only the XR headsets but also the peripherals that will increasingly surround them as we move close to blurring the lines between reality and the virtual world.
In collaboration with <a href="https://arborxr.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ArborXR</a> and with the support of HTC and Qualcomm, this week HP announced the first of its kind extended reality management platform, <a href="https://press.hp.com/us/en/blogs/2022/extendvr-makes-managing-vr-simple-secure.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called ExtendXR</a>, for companies managing these devices at scale.
Let’s talk about the coming XR device management problem this week.

<h2>Metaverse Maintenance</h2>
Extended reality is most successful in training and field repair, so it makes sense that the military and aerospace companies are largely leading the charge to both AR (augmented reality) and VR (virtual reality) at scale.
We are beginning to explore the uses for extended reality, which covers both AR and VR, for collaboration and communication, with Microsoft, Facebook and Google the largest vendors looking at this, but they are far from the only ones (Disclosure: both HP and Microsoft are clients of the author).
While it hasn’t been that difficult to set up one or two of these devices, once you start deploying them in numbers you begin to face issues like theft, misplacement, service and support, and ensuring that the wireless versions of the headsets are charged and ready for use. In addition, you have wear and tear on the devices so you need to have a way to take them out of service, replace them when needed, and then rotate them back into service when repaired. This isn’t a big issue if you have five of the devices, but it’s a problem when you are talking about 500.
And this problem will get a lot worse when we start implementing 2D treadmills, haptic gloves and other technologies designed to make the metaverse more useful and more realistic.

<h2>ExtendXR Manages the Metaverse</h2>
HP’s new service, ExtendXR, has several elements such as XR device set-up and grouping so you can better keep track of the devices and provide software updates that are unique to the grouping. The service also includes:
<ul>
<li>a single pane of glass browser-based console for deploying XR applications and updating the headsets, with support management for most devices available to administrators (phone, tablet, PC, etc.)</li>
<li>customized application launcher to enhance XR headset experiences for end users; this also includes Kiosk Mode for multi-user support</li>
<li>support for content sharing across agencies, divisions and even companies (when needed for partner support)</li>
</ul>
This is just the beginning. I expect that, over time, HP will increase the support capability for this SaaS application for the coming wave of XR peripherals like 2D treadmills, haptic gloves, and advanced headphones.

<h2>HP Gets a Virtual Head Start</h2>
XR has advanced to the point where some companies need to be able to manage large pools of VR and AR headsets and, eventually, a variety of additional peripherals. This gear is expensive, so making sure it doesn’t wander off or become unusable or obsolete is becoming the job of IT, which increasingly owns maintenance of this hardware. To address this growing need, HP has released ArborXR, the first HP-branded XR solution to manage a fleet of XR headsets (with an initial focus on VR).
Typically, this kind of solution would emerge when XR was in broader use and the metaverse was more mature, but by then a lot of companies would have been exposed. HP is stepping up to get ahead of the demand, which means Extend XR will be mature and ready when the market is. And for the few companies already using XR solutions at scale, this HP solution is well timed to deal with the device management issues that they are already experiencing.
