Many analysts believe that the recently announced Visa Cloud Payment Solutions will commercialize mobile payments. The new services include:
- an SDK to enable developers to embed Visa’s contactless PayWave technology into their applications
- support for Quick Response code payments
- new host card emulation technology for enabling NFC transactions without using a hardware-based secure element

Plus coming in September, Visa will offer a tokenization service that enables banks to substitute a random digital token for the 16-digit card number.
Ping Identity's PingID allows users' smartphone to be a second- or even a single-factor authentication device. When authentication is needed, a one-time token is transmitted to the device, and users swipe the display with a finger as if unlocking it. The system can be implemented either through Ping Identity's own cloud services or as an on-premise application. The company says that they support open standards, in particular OAuth and OpenID Connect.

Using Tanium dashboards and alerts, IT Departments should be able to detect an attack as it is happening and identify which nodes are being compromised.

Google is the most used search engine globally which means that no website would want to block Googlebot as they don't want to "disappear" from Google. Unfortunately, this makes life easier for Googlebot imposters. They do this by using Googlebot’s identity to gain privileged access to websites and online information. Incapsula is reporting that 34% of all identified Googlebot impostors were explicitly malicious, while 23% of these bots were used for Layer 7 DDoS attacks. However the company notes that Fake Googlebots can be accurately identified using a combination of security heuristics, including IP and ASN verification – a process which allows you to identify bots based on their point of origin.
