If the J.P. Morgan Chase Amazon marriage succeeds, the two entities will gain access to a wealth of consumer data.

Amazon is entering the finance market at the perfect time to take advantage of an industry that’s adjusting to a tech-first orientation.

Today, technology gives consumers more control over their finances and more personalized banking experience. If Amazon goes forward with his plans to enter finance, it could once again revolutionize an entire industry. Most relatively recent finance disruptors have had to build their enterprises from the ground up. Amazon, however, has the benefit of experience, market share, and hefty coffers.

Fujifilm SonoSite Wants to Bring AI to Ultrasound

Have you ever needed an IV and had to undergo multiple pricks before the nurse could find a vein? Technology to avoid that painful trial and error is in the works. Fujifilm’s ultrasound diagnostics arm SonoSite announced yesterday that it had partnered with a startup company to develop artificial intelligence that can interpret ultrasound images on a mobile phone.

The companies say the first target for their AI-enabled ultrasound will be finding veins for IV (intravenous) needle insertion. The technology would enable technicians to hold a simple ultrasound wand over the skin while software on a connected mobile device locates the vein for them.

For this project, Fujifilm SonoSite tapped the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2), which has an incubator for AI startup companies. “Not only do we have to come up with a very accurate model to analyze the ultrasound videos, but on top of that, we have to make sure the model is working effectively on the limited resources of an android tablet or phone,” says Vu Ha, technical director of the AI2 Incubator.

http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/readwriteweb/~3/d4JqdUZ8YeY/

1Password unveils 1Password advanced protection: additional security controls for enterprise.

Known for their private, secure, and user-friendly password manager, 1Password protects the data businesses all over the world. The new features will help businesses fortify their defenses against 89 percent of breaches that result from outside attacks.

“Large, complex organizations use 1Password Business, and many of them have specialist security and governance requirements. With 1Password Advanced Protection, these businesses can create custom rules to determine how their employees can access the information stored in 1Password, and protect their most important data,” says 1Password CEO Jeff Shiner.

This latest release comes as 1Password celebrates reaching 50,000 paying business accounts, just three years after launching 1Password Business.

What does 1Password Advanced Protection include?

The new features make it easy for businesses to create and enforce security policies, prevent threats, and monitor their team’s access.

Enforce two-factor authentication.

Enforce two-factor authentication company-wide, and choose which second factors your team can use when they add 1Password to a new device.

Restrict access with firewall rules.

Create rules to allow, report, or deny sign-in attempts from specific locations, IP addresses, and more. Review recent sign-in attempts and take any action required to protect your team.

Set complex Master Password policies.

Define requirements employees must adhere to when they choose their Master Password.

Require modern app usage.

Check which version of 1Password your employees are using to ensure they have the latest security and feature updates.

Guard against breaches and unauthorized access.

Data breaches are getting more significant and more costly. According to a report by IBM, the average cost of a data breach has risen from $3.50 million in 2014 to $3.86 million in 2018 — representing nearly 10 percent net increase over the past five years of the study.

With high-profile breaches hitting the headlines weekly, and stricter data protection laws like the GDPR coming into action, businesses are looking for security solutions that are scalable, compliant, quick to deploy, and make an immediate difference.

Spam: India leads world in junk emails

India has become the top spam-spewing nation on the planet, suggests a report.

Compiled by security firm Sophos, the report ranks nations by the amount of junk mail routed through computers in each country.

India has leapt to the top of the spam chart in less than a year, rapidly overtaking the US, said Sophos.

About 10% of all junk mail sent across the web came from or passed through computers in India, said the firm.

India's rapid rise up the chart of spam producers has been helped by the rapid growth of the web in the country, said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos.

The inexperience of the many first-time net users in India had led many to fall victim to hi-tech criminals, he said.

"The latest stats show that, as more first-time internet users get online in growing economies, they are not taking measures to block the malware infections that turn their PCs into spam-spewing zombies," he added.
