DarkCyber for October 6, 2020, Now Available

October 6, 2020

The October 6, 2020, DarkCyber covers one security-related story and offers a special feature about the differences between Web search and enterprise search. The loss of 250 million user accounts in December 2019 illustrated the flaws in the Microsoft approach to online security. What was the company’s response? The firm researched the event and prepared an after-action report. The document makes clear that Microsoft’s approach to security allowed bad actors to obtain access to proprietary data. Furthermore, the report provides one more example that high-visibility cyber security systems may not work as advertised. What’s the difference between Web search and enterprise search? Dr. Stavros Macrakis and Stephen E Arnold explore this subject. Dr. Macrakis worked at Lycos, Google, and other high-profile search firms. Arnold is the author of Successful Enterprise Search Management and The New Landscape of Search. The extracts from their discussion provide fresh insights into the challenges of information retrieval in today’s mobile-centric world. You can view the program on YouTube.
