Will Safe Harbor closure disrupt the internet?

Antonio Ieranò 01/23/2016 Editorials, Editorials in English, News From The World, News in English

The biggest threat internet has ever seen is related to a sentence of the European Court of Justice, its consequences could block the data flow between countries closing internet into “areas”. Last October, the European Court of Justice struck down the Safe Harbor agreement, a 15 year old transatlantic arrangement that permitted U.S. companies to transfer data, such as people’s Google search histories, outside the EU. In invalidating the agreement, the ECJ found that the blurry relationship between private-sector data collection and national security in the United States violates the privacy rights of EU citizens whose data travel overseas.

Apple, l’evasione fiscale e gli strani conti della Agenzia delle Entrate

Antonio Ieranò 01/05/2016 Editoriali in Italiano, Editorials, Personal, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Probabilmente non sono un genio della finanza, e mi mancano gli strumenti cognitivi base per capire certe finezze, ma mi sorge un dubbio: Se una azienda come apple evade, secondo lo stato italiano, 880 miloni di euro in tasse, come mai puo sanare la cosa pagandone solo un terzo, 318 milioni? Perchè invece a me le cartelle arrivano con gli importi almeno quintuplicati tra more, multe, penali e cose del genere? Intendiamoci non sono un sostenitore della evasione, ma sostengo che chi non riesce a pagare, avendolo vissuto sulla mia pelle, e vivendolo tutt’ora, dovrebbe essere aiutato a coprire il suo debito…

Update: Amazon Italia, più Italia che Amazon (anche grazie ad SDA)

Antonio Ieranò 12/29/2015 Editoriali in Italiano, Editorials, Personal, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Update (30 Dec 2015): finalmente SDA si è degnata di venire a ritirare il collo e la presa è stata effettuata alle 3 (non come indicato da amazon la mattina, ma insomma non siamo troppo pignoli). Almeno questo è stato fatto. Amazon o non Amazon? Non avrei mai creduto di scrivere un post come questo, ma non averei mai creduto neanche di vivere una simile esperienza con Amazon Italia. Sono un cliente Amazon da lunga data, e cliente amazon era mia moglie prima di conoscermi. Abbiamo sperimentato Amazon in tutte le sue forme, da piccola startup americana, alle prime…

Terrorism, religion and us

Antonio Ieranò 11/22/2015 Editorials, Editorials in English, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

Recent events in Paris raised once again out attention on terrorism, and fueled once again the trumpet of hate and rage. It is horrible what happened, it is horrible because innocent people died, it is horrible because a God and a Religion have been used once again to justify what is only the pleasure of killing from sick animals, it is horrible because will bring a long chain of sufferance again even between muslins. It is easy to see now people claiming we don’t have to accept Syrian refugee: at the end they are muslin too, and therefore terrorist. Such…

Managers role, leaders and VW

Antonio Ieranò 10/09/2015 Editorials, Editorials in English, Sic Transit Gloria Mundi

One of the things that make me think about the Volkswagen Diesel gate is the role of the management inside a company. All Diesel gate is a demonstration of how dangerous is to have bad managers in a company. It is supposed that managers have the responsibility to take decision and drive the company to reach the goals, this is the justification for their paycheck at the end a manager have to take decisions take responsibility but is this actually the truth? My experience as trainer, consultant and coach alas told me that the truth is quite different, and we…

Time for enterprises to think about security, seriously

Antonio Ieranò 09/08/2015 Editorials, Editorials in English, News From The World, News in English

View image | gettyimages.com UE directive on Attack against information systems give us no more excuse to deal seriously, Under the new rules, illegal access, system interference or interception constitute criminal offence across the EU. But while the legislator is working to create tools to address cybercrime as a Whole system problem, that is affecting EU economy, what are enterprise doing on this side? The problem is that if enterprises does not align their cyber security defence to the correct approach every legislation will be useless, because the target will be always too easy. Makes absolutely no sense to start…

IoT, Internet of Things or Internet of Terror?

Antonio Ieranò 05/30/2015 AI Tech Update, Editorials, Editorials in English, Tech Update in English

Why we all talk about IoT I know that there are a lot of good reasons to love the IoT or IoE (where E stand for everything) idea. I can just highlight a couple: Business and easier life. The business behind IoT The first point is quite clear, the tremendous growth of the Smart devices has create a new business that has gone beyond any analyst prevision. Nowadays it seems that it is impossible to think a world not interconnected. Anyway there are still great areas of improvement in terms of quality of the services provided and the spread of…

Some times they come back

Antonio Ieranò 03/17/2015 Editorials, Editorials in English, News From The World

View image | gettyimages.com I wrote a few time ago about double standards in IT security that affect eastern countries’ companies as Chinese Huawei and ZTE or Russia’s ones when dealing with western countries. I wrote this effect is quite evident every time you read news on cyber security threats. Guess what… I was reading some news lately and I encounter some statements that make me think (again) about it: Let’s take the FREAK attack as an example. FREAK attack is a security vulnerability that breaks HTTPS protection. The troubles today owe to ‘export grade encryption’ – a deliberately weaker form of encryption baked into products shipped outside of the United States, enforced by the American government. The restrictions were removed…

Are we using a double standard in IT security?

Antonio Ieranò 02/12/2015 Editorials, Editorials in English, News From The World, News in English

Are we using a double standard in IT security? In the last years Cyber Security has raised as a major concern in any sector of our lives, from government to business and even at private and personal level. But I am wondering if there is a sort of double standard when we judge facts happening when they are related to cybersecurity. Let’s make some example: We all have read concerns rising form the rumoured new rules that china will impose to companies selling IT equipments in some sensitive sector like financial, western expert have raised all so of questions pointing out that…
