The Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency is calling for novel approaches to its Cyber Insider Threat programme.
The project comes a month after a major leak of classified documents was published on whistle-blowing site Wikileaks.
iPads risky on managed WANs
Companies with managed wide area networks (WANs) should think carefully before allowing employees to access networks with iPads or other mobile devices, writes OneStopClick.
Alexei Lesnykh, business development manager for DeviceLock, says while these devices can actually be effective ways for work to be performed they come with a number of other risks.
He says these can be connected to a firm's network or computer easily and, if this is allowed, information could be quickly and uncontrollably copied from the company's managed WAN, which could lead to it being leaked outside of the company.
