Samsung has done it again! It has released a new security update to its smartphones even before the start of the month. The Galaxy S21, Galaxy S21+, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra have become the first smartphones to get the October 2021 security update.

The new update is currently rolling out in Germany and the Philippines, but more markets could soon get access to this new software. The latest software update for the Galaxy S21 series comes with firmware version G991BXXU3AUIE, and it includes the October 2021 security patch. However, Samsung hasn’t detailed which vulnerabilities it has fixed with the new update.

If you are a Galaxy S21 series smartphone user in Germany or the Philippines, you might have already received a notification of the new update. If you haven’t received it yet, you can check for it manually by navigating to Settings » Software update and tapping on Download and install. You can also download the new firmware file from our firmware database and flash it manually.

The Galaxy S21 series was launched earlier this year with Android 11-based One UI 3.1 on board. A few weeks ago, the smartphones received the One UI 3.1.1 update with slight UI changes and performance improvements. These smartphones could soon get the Android 12-based One UI 4.0 update which is currently being tested.

Banditry: Ban on mobile telecommunications network continues until

/in


Governor Bello Matawalle of Zamfara State says the ban on mobile telecommunications network will remain until security personnel record win the fight against insecurity in the state.

The Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) directed mobile telecommunications network providers to shut down their networks in Zamfara State for two weeks as part of measures to tackle the activities of bandits.

PREMIUM TIMES reported how people in the state now travel to Sokoto and Funtua in Katsina State to make calls, send messages and do financial transactions.

The ban was to expire on Friday. But speaking to BBC Hausa radio, Mr Matawalle said it will continue indefinitely.

“We must elongate the ban because our hope is for peace to return and for our people to be safe.

“We’ll continue to discuss with security agencies and until we are convinced by them, the ban will continue. The result of our interactions with the security agencies will determine when the ban will be lifted,” Mr. Màtawalle said.

Katsina State government has also shut down mobile telecommunications network in 13 local government areas of the state where bandits are considered to be active.

The areas, Funtua, Malumfashi, Bakori, Dutsin Ma, Faskari, Sabuwa, Dandume, Safana, Batsari Kankara, Danmusa, Jibia and Kurfi have all disconnected from mobile telecommunications services.

Singapore’s migration to cloud continues, and expect more SaaS once we secure it, says GovTech • The Register

/in


Singapore wants to change the role of industry to co-develop digital projects alongside government and leave behind the days of wholesale outsourcing, or so says GovTech, the city-state’s digital services arm.

“It would be relevant to understand the changing role that industry plays in supporting the government in the digitalisation journey,” said conversation moderator Shirley Wong in an online briefing today. “The government is not insourcing all projects with their engineering capabilities built up, as demand is very huge.”

She added:

GovTech’s director of procurement, Yu Ling Mah, encouraged companies interested in partnering to upskill their employees on cloud, data science, AI, ML, Agile, and secure cyber practices to win bids from the organisation.

Wong and Mah also emphasised that companies should not take on entire projects, but instead leverage central platforms built by GovTech to reduce overall effort.

In 2018, Singapore laid out a five-year plan [PDF] to migrate 70 per cent of its less sensitive government IT systems from on-premises infrastructure to the commercial cloud. A canned statement from GovTech last week said that close to 600 systems had been migrated to date.

Mah said the migration was on target.

As for SaaS, Mah said it was part of her workplan for 2021. “Beyond moving past applications to be hosted on the cloud, the next phase is a lot of adoption of the SaaS that agencies are looking at. We are reviewing some of our procurement approaches in terms of how best this can be done because the SaaS offerings out there may not be able to meet all our security requirements.”

Mah is looking at aggregation of demand on common needs of SaaS, adding: “I think you’ll probably see some things on this phase maybe this year, and the move toward SaaS is picking up too.”

The government is expected to spend S$3.8bn (US$2.8bn) this year on ICT, up from S$3.5bn (US$2.6bn) in 2020. Of this amount, S$2.7bn…
