RSA Conference: Carbon Black to introduce Streaming Prevention

/in

Carbon Black is introducing at RSA Conference 2017 next week a new way for its gear to detect attacks that don’t make their way into networks via viruses or malicious files that other endpoint security software can detect.

Called Streaming Prevention, the technology can find both malware and non-malware attacks by analyzing endpoint activities in the context of the sequences in which they unfold.

It does this by having endpoint agents tag events as they occur and streaming them to Carbon Black’s analysis engine in the cloud. There the engine determines whether it falls in a sequence of events that add up to an attack and tells the endpoint to block activity that is deemed malicious.

Senators will introduce a bill to limit government hacking warrants

/in

A U.S. senator will introduce legislation to roll back new court rules that allow judges to give law enforcement agencies the authority to remotely hack computers.

Senator Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, will introduce a bill that would reverse a court procedure rules change, approved by the U.S. Supreme Court last month, that would allow lower judges to issue remote hacking warrants.

The rules change, requested by the Department of Justice, expands the geographical reach of police hacking powers beyond local court jurisdictions now allowed through court-ordered warrants. Previously, the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure prohibited a federal judge from issuing a search warrant outside his or her district.

Australian police introduce laser-mapping to crime scene analysis

/in

CISRO

Police in Queensland, Australia are starting to use environment-scanning equipment designed for caving and mine-mapping to create 3D diagrams of crime scenes.

The Zebedee handheld mapping scanner was developed by CSIRO, Australia’s national science research agency and has previously been used to map the interior of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, as well as other culturally significant locations and mining sites. Now, for the first time, officers will be able to walk through a crime scene with a scanner and capture data, which they’ll be able to use to generate a 3D map in about 20 minutes.

“The benefits of this new technology will reduce interference at a scene, save time, and allow access to previously hard-to-reach areas such as step declines and bushland,” said Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart in a statement.
