Today's Story Highlights

Critical Infrastructure Companies Lack Cyberdefenses
Companies providing the world's critical infrastructure are woefully
unprepared for cyberattacks despite the increasing threat level,
evidenced by the release of the Stuxnet worm and the Shamoon virus in
recent years, found a survey conducted by the Ponemon Institute and
Unisys. Nearly 70 percent of the 599 surveyed companies in the past 12
months have reported at least one security breach.

New IoT Group to Get Devices Talking Among Themselves
Half a dozen companies this week launched the Open Interconnect
Consortium to define the connectivity requirements and improve the
interoperability of the 200 billion devices that will make up the
Internet of Things by 2020. The consortium aims to define a common
communications framework based on industry standard technologies,
regardless of form factor, operating system or service provider.

Microwave Will Count the Calories in Food You Nuke
While the ever-expanding class of wearable fitness devices out there can
tell users how many calories they've burned while undertaking any
particular activity, realistic estimates of calories taken in have been
few and far between. Enter a new microwave oven currently in the works
at GE Global Research that will tell users just how much energy is
included in the meal they're about to consume.
