| Titre | Software-defined Global Network as a Service Firm Meta Networks Emerges From Stealth (Recyclage) |
| Texte | >Meta NaaS Provides a Software-defined Virtual 'Overlay' to Existing Disjointed Physical Networks
Emerging from stealth with $10 million in seed funding led by Vertex Ventures and the BRM Group, Tel Aviv-based Meta Networks has launched Meta NaaS -- a secure software-defined virtual private network aimed at redefining the concept of distributed, cloud-employing corporate networks.
The advent of public and private cloud services and offerings, together with the growth of mobile computing and remote working, plus the tendency for most companies to combine all of these with their own on-premise resources has had one major and well-recognized effect: there is no longer a physical network perimeter that can be defined and protected. Solutions generally require point products for every device, aimed at protecting the device and its communication to other parts of the network. This rapidly becomes very complex with multiple points of possible failure.
 Meta NaaS provides a software-defined virtual 'overlay' to existing disjointed physical networks. It is user-centric, draws on the principle of zero-trust, and brings together all aspects of remote users, mobile devices, separate branch offices, on premise data centers and cloud apps within one single software-defined overlay. It creates a new perimeter in the cloud.
Like Google's BeyondCorp, the user is key. Every user device is given a unique permanent identity at the packet level, but is also given access to an always-on virtual private network (VPN). A global distribution of PoPs ensures high performance in accessing and using the VPN from any location, and all corporate traffic from corporate users is securely sent to the NaaS before being delivered to its destination. This includes both internal resources and internet traffic -- and security is handled in the NaaS rather than at the device.
"It's worldwide," Etay Bogner, CEO and founder of Meta Networks, told SecurityWeek. "You don't have to install any appliances. You connect separate offices through their existing routers. On top of the network we are deploying best network security. So instead of having the firewall deployed as an appliance in a specific physical location, we have the firewall functionality within the cloud in every one of the PoPs, and we apply security at those locations."
The effect is to provide security in even hostile environments -- mobile employees working in internet cafes or airport waiting lounges are as secure and productive as if they were still in the office.
Meta NaaS interoperates with other cloud-delivered security solutions, supporting a best-breeds security stack for the enterprise. It delivers identity-based policy routing and packet-level identity verification; and since it is cloud-based, it promises cloud advantages: agility, scalability and cloud economics.

| Titre | Worried About Being on Facebook? Some Options Explained (Recyclage) |
| Texte | 
A snowballing Facebook scandal over the hijacking of personal data from millions of its users has many wondering whether it's time to restrict access to their Facebook information or even leave the social network altogether, with the #deletefacebook movement gaining traction.
Here are some options open to the worried Facebook user.
Put it to sleep
Putting a Facebook account on hold used to be difficult but has become a lot easier.
To deactivate their account, users need to go on their "settings" page, then on to "manage account", where they can "deactivate" their account. Facebook defines this action as putting activity "on hold".
The move disables a user's profile and removes their name and pictures from most things they have shared.
Some information may still remain visible, like a user's name in a friend's list, or messages exchanged with friends.
If they have second thoughts, users can easily restore a de-activated profile.
Kill the account
Deleting an account is a more radical step, as users will not be able to access it again once they've gone for that option.
Facebook warns users that it can take up to 90 days to purge the network of a user's posts.
Even so, some information is likely to stay online, for example messages sent to friends.
According to French data expert Nathalie Devillier there is also a chance that Facebook holds on to information about some users if asked to by US authorities in the name of national security.
Be more alert
Facebook users can check with the network how much of their personal information is accessible on the network.
In "settings", the option "download a copy of your Facebook data" allows a user to do just that.
Once Facebook has double-checked a user's password, the site compiles and then e-mails a compressed file.
The file gives an overview of the pictures and videos a user has posted, their downloaded apps, |
