Symantec has published their latest 2011 results on the Cost of Data Breach series.
Companies analyzed were from 14 different industries including finance, retail, healthcare, services, education, technology, manufacturing, research, transportation, consumer, hotels and leisure, media, pharmaceutical and communications.
Reports for the US, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Australia, India, and Japan will be followed by a global wrap up report.
The research has been conducted by Ponemon Institute.
The table below shows part of the case studies (appendix 1 in US report). Please note, that here the talk is about data breaches, and not all kind of security incidents. In data breaches, the number of stolen records is continuously used in calculations.
Per capita cost is defined as the total cost of data breach divided by the size of the data breach in terms of the number of lost or stolen records.
The site contains a link to Data Breach Risk Calculator. At the end, it provides results like average cost per record and average cost per breach based on their methodology. Please note, this is valid for data breach case.
Reports available:
Verizon has recently published their latest (2012) Investigations Report. The reports are available on their site. Here below is one extract from the report.
It is worth to go through.
Mark Stamp has made Information Security course material available (from 2011). I highly recommend to use these courses which are available via internet.
The book related to his course is called “Information Security: Principles and Practice“.
Good place to start is his book related page, which contains links to presentation files (pptx) and videos (mp4). In the course page, the course length is estimated as follows:
Introduction
Chapter 1 (1 hour)
Crypto
Chapter 2: Crypto Basics (3 hours)
Chapter 3: Symmetric Key Crypto (4 hours)
Chapter 4: Public Key Crypto (4 hours)
Chapter 5: Hash Functions and Other Topics (4 hours)
Access Control
Chapter 7: Authentication (4 hours)
Chapter 8: Authorization (2 hour)
Protocols
Chapter 9: Simple Authentication Protocols (4 hours)
Chapter 10: Real-World Security Protocols (5 hours)
Software
Chapter 11: Software Flaws and Malware (4 hours)
Chapter 12: Insecurity in Software (4 hours)
Chapter 13: Operating Systems and Security (4 hours)
Some comments
There is another course material available as well, see blog.
LTE is the technology which makes mobile broad band possible.
Definitions
3GPP Long Term Evolution, referred to as LTE and marketed as 4G LTE, is a standard for wireless communication of high-speed data for mobile phones and data terminals. It is based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA network technologies, increasing the capacity and speed using new modulation techniques.The standard is developed by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and is specified in its Release 8 document series, with minor enhancements described in Release 9.
LTE by 3GPP
LTE (both radio and core network evolution) is now on the market. Release 8 was frozen in December 2008 and this has been the basis for the first wave of LTE equipment.
From 3GPP Release 10 onwards – 3GPP is compliant with the latest ITU-R requirements for IMT-Advanced ’Systems beyond 3G’.
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) unites [Six] telecommunications standards bodies, known as “Organizational Partners”. Since the completion of the first LTE and the Evolved Packet Core specifications, 3GPP has become the focal point for mobile systems beyond 3G.
LTE Advanced by wikipedia
LTE Advanced is a mobile communication standard, formally submitted as a candidate 4G system to ITU-T in late 2009, was approved into ITU, International Telecommunications Union, IMT-Advanced and was finalized by 3GPP in March 2011. It is standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a major enhancement of the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard. Standardization work was done in 3GPP Release 10, which was frozen in April 2011.

Will the holographic images change our way of living? Check out the videos below to get an idea…
Holographic images in big scale:
There is clearly a security aspect too, since one could send hologram into a concert…
Smaller scale:
Hologram Projection Technology
Holography refers to the technique that enables light scattered from an object to be recorded and later reconstructed. The product of holography, called a hologram, may be projected via this technology so that it can be viewed as a three-dimensional image.
A hologram is often described as a three-dimensional picture. While this is a good way to get a general idea of what you would experience looking at one, holography has very little in common with traditional photography.
While a photograph has an actual physical image, a hologram contains information about the size, shape, brightness and contrast of the object being recorded. This information is stored in a very microscopic and complex pattern of interference. The interference pattern is made possible by the properties of light generated by a LASER.
Holography is a technique which allows the recording and playback of true, three-dimensional images. The image is called a hologram. Unlike other 3-D “pictures”, holograms provide what is called “parallax”. Parallax allows the viewer to move back and forth, up and down, and see different perspectives — as if the object were actually there.
Video:
Note: Holographic 3D image means that when you change your angle of view, then you will see different part of the 3D image. If a plain screen is used, then even when changing your angle of view, you still see the same image. (I hope the example videos above are all real 3D images)
Honda has developed a self-balancing one-wheeled electric vehicle called U3-X.
Examples of a two-wheeled vehicles are from Segway and Toyota:
