Today's Story Highlights

iOS 12 to Provide Stronger 911 Location Help
iOS 12 automatically will share location data for iPhones used to make
emergency calls. The system will use an IP-based data pipeline developed
by RapidSOS to share location data from iPhones with 911 centers.
"Communities rely on 911 centers in an emergency, and we believe they
should have the best available technology at their disposal," said Apple
CEO Tim Cook.

Can Hackers Crack the Ivory Towers?
Academics have been hard at work studying information security. Most
fields aren't as replete with hackers as information security, though,
and their contributions are felt much more strongly in the private
sector than in academia. The differing motives and professional cultures
of the two groups act as barriers to direct collaboration, noted
CypherCon presenter Anita Nikolich.

Cisco, Dell, and the Race to Make a Better World
To say we live in troubled times would be an understatement. It often
feels like the politicians and executives who surround us are interested
only in who can tell the biggest whopper while lining their own pockets
and leaving their constituents and customers to pay the bills. I
recently read that the real reason Jon Stewart stepped down from The
Daily Show was that he was incredibly angry all the time.

Upcoming iOS Access Restrictions Could Stymie Law Enforcement
Apple plans to equip iOS 12 with USB Restricted Mode, which requires
users to unlock their iPhone with their passcode before USB accessories
can connect if the phone last was unlocked more than an hour earlier.
The company included this feature in the developer versions of iOS
11.4.1 and iOS 12. Apple will release USB Restricted Mode publicly in a
future software update, it confirmed this week.
