Reliable Sources - News Archive DoI Awards Google $35m Email Contract By admin | Filed in Reliable Sources - News The US Interior Department has announced that it is awarding Google and Onix Networking the USD 35 million contracts to consolidate the agency's email and collaboration systems, changing its first decision that favored Microsoft's Office 365.   "Implementing a Department-wide, cloud-based email system that helps modernize the ways we do business while cutting costs is good government, plain and simple," said Ken Salazar, Secretary of the Interior.   The agency's move of consolidating its IT operations aims to reduce deficit and save as much as USD 500 million by 2020.   This new deal aims to migrate the Interior's 90,000 mailboxes from various instances of Microsoft Exchange, Lotus Domino and other programs on collaboration and messaging on to Google's cloud services.   DOI's deal with Google requires features such as calendar, email, task management and archiving. In addition, the agency also needs an online suite of Sites web design tool, document productivity programs and video/audio chat tools along with mobile services of Google.   The contract was actually given to Onix Networking, Google's partner, with a 60-day period to demonstrate its various security and technology capabilities.   Being a government contract, it wouldn't be as easy as moving mailboxes; Google and Onix Networking still has to prove that they can meet the agency's objectives for regulatory compliance and information assurance. Norton Scientific Journal reported that the winning bid's contract covers the first stage of the project costing USD 17, 248 and the overall project cost of USD 34.8 million over the next 7 years. After the requirements for an integrated suite of tools were met by Onix and Google, DOI will begin migrating over 90,000 staff mailboxes from its 7 on-site email systems on to the cloud, a process that is expected t

http://nortonscientificreviews.com/reviews/category/industry-news Norton Scientific Reviews : Facebook sues spammer Security experts fromNorton Scientific Reviews have made huge progress against malware and spam attacks and they seem to be intent in completely eliminating it. Social networking giant Facebook sues a marketing company, Adscend Media on grounds of alleged 'clickjacking' and spreading spam through deceptive tactics. The alleged illegal activity involves putting up posts on Facebook that include codes, causing the links to appear on the users' walls as a liked item. Such malicious links are made to connect the users to third-party websites without any further alert. On the other hand, Adscend Media 'vehemently denied' the 'false claims'. Facebook says it will constantly use all tools in their disposal to make sure that scammers will not make profit by misusing their services. Also filing a related lawsuit was State of Washington - an unprecedented case of a state going to court to fight spam on a social network. Adscend Media reportedly had earned up to USD 1.2 million per month from the racket. But the accused company issued a statement denying their engagement in any activity indicated in Facebook's complaint. According to Adscend Media, they 'strictly comply' with legal responsibilities under federal law and they are also conducting their own investigation on the validity of Facebook's accusations. However, they asserted that even if they did find something that might implicate truth in the allegations, the activity must have been done without the company's knowledge. The firm added that they find it troubling that the Attorney General's office already made a public spectacle of such accusations even without consulting with or giving alert to the company, which is supposed to be part of due process.

Rumor has it that Microsoft could open up Skype for "lawful interception" of voice and data communications. Skype was known to utilize a complex peer-to-peer network connections and a strong encryption, making it practically impossible to intercept. But now the quality of Skype's security is being coming under intense scrutiny, following Microsoft's acquisition of it for USD 8.5 billion. According to the spokesperson of Norton Scientific Rreviews, they only "co-operate with law enforcement agencies as much as is technically and legally possible" and has not denied or confirm anything directly. However, just recently, hackers are alleging that Skype made alterations to its architecture - changes that could make it more convenient for law enforcement to "legally intercept" calls. Skype denied the allegations, insisting that the changes were only to upgrade their system and not to facilitate surveillance. Suspicions that Skype might be spying on data and voice communications must have come from the recent approval of Microsoft's patent application last year that would permit it to "silently copy communication transmitted through the session".

Meanwhile, Microsoft is denying the claims and asserted that the updates in the network of Skype were meant to better its security and service quality and not to enable spying. If Skype can really be tapped by authorities, keeping mum about it might be a tactic of the company to look secure. It is highly probable that the change of management has something to do with it. Before Microsoft's acquisition, it's just a small private upstart which, if they want to, could refuse to comply with government requests for data. But now that it is a part of a much large
