Today's Story Highlights

Failure to Communicate Hamstrings Cyberdefenders
A failure to communicate between security pros and company brass may be
contributing to the inability of a significant number of organizations
to reduce the risk of cyberattacks on their systems. Thirty-one percent
of the nearly 5,000 respondents surveyed for a recent study said their
cybersecurity team never met with the executive team about
cybersecurity.

Black Hat Tor-Busting Talk Nixed
The Tor Project is working to remedy a vulnerability in its anonymity
software following the sudden cancellation of a talk at next month's
Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas that would have revealed it.
The planned talk would have demonstrated a way to unmask users of Tor,
the privacy-minded Web browsing software. CMU researcher Alexander
Volynkin was to deliver the briefing.

Nvidia's Shield Tablet Earns Praise for Hardware, Shrugs for Games
Nvidia is expanding its Shield line of gaming products with the launch
of a gaming tablet and accompanying wireless controller. Designed for
high performance, the tablet is powered by Nvidia's Tegra K1 processor,
which includes 192 graphics processing unit cores. It will be frequently
updated with software updates designed to draw stronger performance and
additional capabilities from the hardware.

iOS Insecurity - Designed by Apple?
The long-held belief that Android is the least secure of mobile OSes was
shattered by security researcher and expert iOS hacker Jonathan
Zdziarski over the weekend. Zdziarski unveiled a host of iOS
vulnerabilities, the scope of which was staggering. They include
undocumented services that bypass backup encryption and can be accessed
both via USB and wirelessly.
