Today's Story Highlights
Security Execs Sweat Insider Threats
Insider threats are becoming increasingly worrisome to corporate security executives. That is one of the findings in a survey of C-level
businesspeople Nuix released last week. "The insider threat seems to be
a bigger concern this year than it was in previous years," said Nuix's
Keith Lowry. "People are recognizing that it is a significant weakness
that has yet to be fully addressed."

China's Internet Tightrope Walk
Chinese President Xi Jinping recently told an international delegation of cybersecurity and technology experts that governments must be allowed
to exercise sovereign rights and decision making over Internet use
within their own countries. Speaking at the second annual World Internet
Conference in Wuzhen, China, the president effectively called for a
revised order in Internet governance.

Zuckerberg Defends Downsized Internet for Developing World
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday defended his company's downsized version of the Internet, called "Free Basics," which is offered in
developing nations around the world. "In every society, there are
certain basic services that are so important for people's wellbeing that
we expect everyone to be able to access them freely," he said, citing
public libraries, hospitals and schools as examples.

Gadgets: Streaming Socks, a High-Powered Hoverboard, and a Vigilant Vacuum
Finally, a pair of socks I would not be ever-so-slightly disappointed to find among my gifts on Christmas morning. Netflix has released some
designs for socks that can stop streaming the show or movie you're
streaming if you should nod off. The socks detect when you've stopped
moving for a long period and hit the pause button. If you're still
awake, you can wiggle your big toe to halt the action.
