ISPreview.co.uk takes a look back at how the top fastest and largest national Mobile Broadband (3G/4G) and Home Broadband providers have performed over the last quarter. Overall Virgin Media still tops the fixed line table with an average Internet download speed of 53.20Mbps (unchanged from Q3 2014), while Vodafone delivered the best mobile performance at 13.78Mbps.

Firstly, there have been a few changes since our last quarterly update in October 2014 (here), with Eclipse Internet being removed from the list because theyve stopped selling domestic packages. On top of that weve decided to start tracking the quarterly performance of the four primary Mobile Broadband providers (note: T-Mobile and Orange are aggregated under parent Everything Everywhere).

Overall the performance of the largest national fixed line Home Broadband ISPs (including the impact of related business connections) during the final quarter of 2014 has remained more or less stable, largely because there havent been any major changes in the market since Virgins double-speed upgrade began at the start of this year (this added roughly 10-15Mbps to VMs average download rate, mostly due to their dominant 30Mbps subscriber base being pushed to 50Mbps).

Meanwhile its interesting to note that the speeds for ISPs that offer up to 80Mbps Fibre-to-the-Cabinet (FTTC) services, particularly BT which holds the lions share of related subscribers, have broadly tended to remain stable and that might be at least partly due to crosstalk interference becoming more of a problem (this can slow FTTC lines in busy areas). The future addition of Vectoring, which is designed to cancel out crosstalk, should have a positive impact (assuming BTOpenreach ever get around to deploying it).

In aprevious article, Urban Defense Planning for the Home, it was briefly discussed that designing a home defense system to evade possible criminals is your only way to protect your home, your family and your belongings, as well as alert you to anyone trying to break in. Home invasions are growing more and more frequent these day. Recently in the news, a 15 year old shot a home invader trying to break into his home.

Desperate individuals feeltheir cause isjustified and important enough to break in, terrorize, attack and steal belongings from others homes. Thieves arebeginning to usetechnologies such as Google Maps and iPhone applicationsto gain an upperhand in breaking into your home. Being aware of thepossible bouts of crime in your area, the technologies that are being used against you and and designing a home defense system around this will help to better protect your home.

Preventative measures can be put in place to keep these scums far away from your home. Minimize thethreat of a home break in or home invasion by adding layers of security to prevent your home from being a possible hit.Security layers are preventative measures put into place thatwill advertise to possible intruders to avoid your home altogether.

This is the most critical layer.

Its not enough these days totellthose who are home alone tohave thedoors and windows locked at all times or to notopen doors for strangers. Parents need to thoroughly discuss emergency and safety plans with those living in the home, as well asprotocols on how to handle certain dangers. A person who is prepared for a possible run in with a burglar or home invader is well equipped with knowledge on the homes security features, knowledge on how to get additional family members to safety, get help, and as a last resort know how to use a weapon.Teaching members of the family what a home invasion is and the dangers associated with it will help them understand thatinvaderswill not be kind, that they are intending to hurt persons who are inside, and will stop at nothing to get what they want.

When an emergency arises, adrenaline is kicks in, andtriggers the fight-or-flight response, causing a rush of emotion, anxiety and for some, panic. Practising emergency plans can help a family knowexactly what to do and how to stay calm doing it. Dangerssuchas home invasions and burglaries are occurring more frequently, thus causing those who are home alone to be more at risk. Having layers of security features in and outside of the home can keepthose inside the homesafer.

From Target to Home Depot to JPMorgan, this year was a bad one for massive security breaches. Expect more of the same next year.

From hundreds of millions of personal information stolen through an onslaught of hacks to Heartbleed and Shellshock, the security trends of 2014 don't bode well for the new year. CNET

Let's face it, 2014 was a terrible year for computer security, leaving everyone feeling a little more vulnerable.

Hackers stole 56 million credit card numbers and 53 million email addresses from Home Depot between April and September. They took contact information for 76 million households and 7 million small businesses from JPMorgan's vaults. And Target started the year on the wrong foot, coughing up 40 million credit and debit cards, and personal information on 110 million people.

"It'd be hard to find anybody in the US who hasn't had a credit card affected," said H.D. Moore, chief research officer at security firm Rapid7. "People are just numb to the fact."

Will 2015 be the year we learn to care about who to trust with our personal data? Experts have some dour thoughts on what's coming, even as US stores begin to support credit cards with more secure computer chips. There's going to be heightened risks from old threats like email phishing attacks, and new threats posed by the Internet of Things, the idea of having appliances, objects, and electronic devices all connected to each other and the Internet. Here's what to expect next year.

Credit cards containing a computer chip and requiring a separate personal identification number are commonplace in many other developed countries, but have been held back in the US in large part because of the costs. Financial institutions have to pay more to make the new cards, and it's expensive for retailers to upgrade their payment terminals to accepted chipped cards. But they are expected to decrease some types of credit card fraud, a problem with current swipe-and-signature cards, because the chips are harder to counterfeit, according to a report from the financial research firm Aite Group. The equipment required to clone a chipped card the way counterfeiters currently fake magnetic stripe cards can cost around $1 million, according to mobile payment company Square.

It's this level of protection that prompted Apple to move forward with its mobile-payments service, Apple Pay, which runs on the same security model as a chip and pin credit card. Next year, retailers will have to accept chipped cards or bear the legal burden of future credit card breaches. The retailers, however, don't have any legal obligation to accept Apple Pay, even as Apple has lined up an impressive group of partners.

The shift in credit card fraud responsibility and tougher security measures will force criminals to refocus their attacks on smaller companies as bigger companies invest their capital in preventing embarrassing, costly breaches, said Andy Daudelin, the vice president of security solutions at AT&T. "Small and medium businesses are going to need to step up in their [physical] place of business and online to protect consumers, and to protect themselves from lawsuits," he said.

Another risk that could get worse next year are phishing attacks, or malicious emails that try to trick you into clicking on a link, according to Steve Durbin, managing director of the Information Security Forum. "I had a number of [faked] emails allegedly from Amazon on Black Friday and Cyber Monday that said that I had a problem with my Prime account," he said

Security in 2015: Will you care about the next big breach?

Post written by Betsy Atkins

Atkins is an entrepreneur, three-time CEO and a director at Darden, HD Supply and Schneider Electric.

Just the past 12 months have seen one massive corporate security breach after another. Major retailers (Target, Home Depot, Neiman Marcus, Sony Pictures), e-commerce sites (eBay), and financial institutions (JP Morgan) have all been victims.

Taken individually, digital security breaches serve as a warning for executives and security professionals to remain vigilant. However, when every major breach shares the same telltale strategy, it is a sign that there is something more fundamentally broken in enterprise security that must be addressed.

There are several important similarities in these attacks, all suggesting that your companys data security protections need stronger oversight:

- Security looks for the first step, but misses the lifecycle of an attack. Traditional online security structures attempt to detect and block malicious payloads (either a piece of malware or vulnerability exploit). In a modern attack, the initial compromise is just a means to a much larger end. The vast majority of security technologies are not designed to see the so-called long con of an attack. Even though the security industry continues to develop more and more advanced methods of detecting individual pieces of malware, there is still too little ability to see the larger attack that follows after the malware.

- There are infinite opportunities for security systems to fail. As computing and business has evolved, the attackable areas of the enterprise have become nearly impossible to secure. Employees use mobile devices that are routinely outside the corporate firewalls. Corporate applications and data are increasingly both inside and outside the perimeter.

Online security has become incredibly complicated, and corporate directors may not even know the fundamental distinctions between the various types and motivations of online intrusions.

Step one for every board is to understand that it is supposed to be offering oversight on these risks as part of its fiduciary duty. The board needs to assure there are internal controls in place to protect the corporations cyber assets. The stakes are high. A study found that up to $21 trillion in global assets could be at risk from cybercrime. What is needed is a solid board structure for monitoring and managing cyber risk in the company. To begin, I recommend is a series of committee briefings so cyber security is demystified and better understood. However, given the complexity and dangers involved, I think the time has come for boards to create a dedicated cybersecurity technology committee.

It is crucial that the board require management to present their policies on cyber security. Request that management write up their security practices and standards, and their protocol for responding to a security breach. The board should be able to identify the manager responsible by title, and in what time frame they are to respond to an intrusion. In the event of a cyber-breach, the board should schedule an update from the security committee on any forensic review. The company may need to disclose any data breach in SEC filings if the breach was material. Your board might be surprised to find out that a court considers failure to disclose a cyber-attack as a material omission, according to some interpretations of new SEC guidance on disclosure.

A once neglected corner in downtown Bartlesville has been transformed into a community hot spot thanks to the imagination and hard work of Samantha Nikkel and her husband Ron.

Samantha Nikkel, whos tried a lot of things from running marathons to skydiving, said she never expected to be operating a restaurant. But thats exactly what she and her husband are doing.

The inspiration behind the citys latest fine-dining opportunity stemmed from Samantha Nikkels desire to further enhance the relaxed atmosphere of her adjacent clinic and spa.

Located the corner of Fourth Street and Shawnee Avenue, Samanthas has quickly become a popular gathering point for lunches, dinners and casual get-togethers.

I was getting a lot of people from surrounding cities coming to the spa, and when they came here, they wanted to linger a bit, she said. I thought it would be nice to have a place where they can sit and have a cup of tea and a bite to eat.

Her idea to expand the tranquil feel of 5 Elements Clinic and Spa is reflected in the restaurants soothing waterfalls, cozy nooks with fireplaces and gazebos in the spacious outdoor eating area.

When we were building it, people wanted to know what I was up to and started to ask if I would do parties, birthday parties, anniversaries and little gatherings, said Nikkel. From there, I thought if we had parties, we need to have some beverages for a variety of guests besides just tea and coffee so we went through the process of getting a liquor license. After that, we realized we really need to have real food.

News soon spread that the couple needed a chef, and it wasnt long before they hired Shaun Coyne, who holds more than 25 years in the restaurant business. His culinary experience has lead to a elegant and creative menu items such as pineapple chicken sliders. Soup, salad and sandwich choices will also continue to evolve at the restaurant.

Were coming up with foods and ideas in an environment no one else has. The fun part was creating something so unique for Bartlesville that even Tulsa people are saying they dont have and theyre coming up here, said Nikkel.

Well have a different menu with each season and of course well have our weekly specials menu to make interesting and fun. Were going to have entertainers here, so that its just not a food experience but the whole dining experience.
