GDPR
<GDPR goes all the way down to the IP address, in some instances considering that to be PII [personally identifiable information].> That indicates that GDPR is going to have a massive effect. Perhaps we should be paying more attention to it.

Re: GDPR
GDPR *will* have a massive effect on how companies handle PII -- and not just in the EU. Hopefully, the effect will be positive and not just a bureaucratic nightmare for data center managers. Companies like Equifax are going to need to take a much stronger stance on security because the liability is going to be a huge risk shortly.

Re: GDPR
I have no doubt that "bureaucratic nightmare for data center managers" will be a major component, but we can also hope for some positive effects, as well.

Re: GDPR
@Ariella the way I see it is a same as legal process and just same way takes time... I do not think any other way around it...

Hmm. Good stock tip?
Maybe it's time to short companies that are vendors of Jurassic era firewalls? :P Though those vendors have probably diversified their products....

I liked when they talked about SD-WAN compatibility because you will need it dealing with programs and newtorks relating to Cloud so I'm sure it will be more to come as times goes on.

Re: Cloud Evolution
It's here to stay, but I think it's going to change significantly because of security issues. We're going to see more tools and analytics, but also new forms of 2FA and even biometrics to keep data safe.

Re: Cloud Evolution
I'm a bit concerned about using biometrics before we've figured out the bugs of data loss. If a third party steals your fingerprints or retinal scan... how can you change your login?

Re: Cloud Evolution
@mhhf1ve I agree with you there are issues. Sci-fi has seemingly taught us that bio IDs could be stolen. But I think it's harder to do in practice. We'll see.

Re: Cloud Evolution
I think we'll eventually see a data breach where fingerprints are "stolen" in a way that makes fingerprints insecure. Considering we leave fingerprints on everything we touch unconsciously, it's probably pretty difficult to keep that information truly secure. We also leave a lot of DNA lying around. There will also probably be "fake" retinal scanners -- like those fake credit card skimmers-- that'll capture your retinal scan when you think you're trying to unlock your account. And who is to say insurance companies won't want to use your retinal scan to diagnose some pre-existing conditions? Biometrics have a lot of issues...

Re: Cloud Evolution
@mhhf1ve true, and of course, in movies the bad guys have no scruples about just taking off the body part they need for the security lock. I don't know if that has happened in real life, though.

Re: Cloud Evolution
@Ariella - The guys who cut body parts off and what not are lazy. There are so many movies and TV shows out there any more that show lifting finger prints while leaving the victim none-the-wiser that taking a limb is at best barbaric. Not to mention all it would take is a good gash right on the pad of your finger and your print would be altered forever. So then do you change your prints, like people change their last names? Do you have to have someone from the state sign off on that before hand?

Re: Cloud Evolution
<So then do you change your prints> I don't know if it really is possible to change one's prints. One movie I saw many, many years ago had someone don fake fingerprints by puting plastic stickers over each finger. Others mentioned people who had no fingerprints because their skin had been burnt there. But I can't recall anyone suggesting a permanent shift of fingerprint.

Re: Cloud Evolution
I'm sure if people *really* wanted to change their fingerprints, they could.. like brand their fingers... or some surgical procedure to graft skin or something..

Re: Cloud Evolution
@mhhf1ve OK now I looked it up and found this: https://www.veridiumid.com/blog/biometric-mythbusters-erasing-fingerprints/
After listing the various Painful sounding ways of removing one's fingerprints, it had only this to say about alerting them: "Is it possible to change your fingerprints? The short answer is yes, but the long answer is much more complicated and nowhere near as easy as popular media leads us to believe. "

Re: Cloud Evolution
Yikes. There are a lot of crazy side effects for chemo. I hadn't heard of fingerprints being erased!
Some of the side effects sound like they could be useful though.. if only the drugs could be used to only get the side effect and not the other main effects.

Re: Cloud Evolution
There are some instances of that happening with other drugs, Viagra was originally developed for blood pressure (I think) and of course that is not what it is being used for now. It's funny how many things have accidentally been discovered with science and technology.

Re: Cloud Evolution
@mhh: I was just speaking to someone today who recently switched to a new cancer drug for her breast cancer and is doing much better in handling the treatment. Her prior drug had a boatload of side effects that were causing her to be in agony every day.
At the same time, she related to me that her doctor told her that five to seven years ago, he wouldn't have had *any* drug for her or been able to offer her any hope whatsoever.
Re: Cloud Evolution
Erasal of finger prints......am hearing this as a side effects of chemo for the first time. I am aware of many others but not this one. Most of the side effects are really painful to go through, I have witneesed a close family member going through. Hopefully there willl be more advancemnets in science where the treatment becomes less painful.

Re: Cloud Evolution
There is a huge, I’m talking YUGE ;) market for a real “cure” for gray hair. People are willing to throw money away on snake oil essentially on the mere chance that it works. There is also a tremendous market to be lost - think of all the hair color companies and hair colorists that would stand to lose millions or billions of dollars. It makes sense that an immunological drug would restore hair color if you think about it in terms of the body healing itself.

Re: Cloud Evolution
Very true. I think it’s an awesome concept, but you’re right. Many beauticians would lose a lot of work and from that a lot of money. Alone with hair colored products you see in stores.

Re: Cloud Evolution
@mhhf1ve - That's a good point! Particularly the when you mention the possibility of insurance companies then using the information to diagnose a pre-existing condition. If you signed up for Identity-Theft Protection from Equifax after the breach, they signed you up for Life Lock. Apparently, Life Lock is partially owned by Equifax, so after you give Life Lock some $$$$, some of that $$ goes back to Equifax. The whole situation feels like a bad nightmare anymore. I don't even think there's anyway to stop it.

In a related story, a fingerprint test that detects someone's gender, what they've eaten, or even if they've used a condom is 'set for court use’ in a matter of months.
