E-mail encryption is now one of the fastest-growing categories in the e-mail security market, concludes a recent study by Osterman Research, and it’s likely to grow by more than 100 percent over the next 12 months. One of the key drivers of this warp-speed growth spurt, the analysts found, is corporate anxiety about regulatory compliance.
According to a recent survey by Evans Data, wireless developers are not loyal to any particular toolset and would switch tools to mobilize more easily. Of the nearly 500 wireless developers surveyed, 56 percent would consider changing programming languages or tools to mobilize applications more easily. In addition, 78 percent of wireless developers are writing new applications from the ground up, while 58 percent are extending legacy applications.

When Microsoft announced in January that it was dropping XQuery support from the next release of the .NET Framework, the company’s reasoning seemed sound enough: XQuery will not receive final approval from the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), the standards body shepherding its development, until early 2006. But the .NET Framework 2.0 (code-named “Whidbey”) is due this summer, which means that Microsoft will be finalizing the code well before XQuery becomes a W3C recommendation, “making it impossible,” says Microsoft, “for us to guarantee forward compatibility between any XQuery support in .NET 2.0 and the eventual XQuery 1.0 recommendation.”
Gartner, a market research company, has tapped seven small technology providers it says has the right stuff to be cool.

Companies that comply with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, FISMA and Basel II must have effective log monitoring to meet auditing requirements. The volume of data generated to comply with regulations is quickly overwhelming some companies. External firewalls and network intrusion devices may generate more than 100 million events per day, and may require one full-time employee to perform log reviews. Manually sifting through logs and compiling reports is nearly impossible because the data is so vast, it distracts IT from business critical projects and stalls productivity.
