A Call to Hi-Tech Duty

When the GSM Association – sponsors of next week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona – hands out awards, it splits the world into four regions, presenting top prizes to the world’s best cellphone technologies and applications made by companies that hail from each region. Two companies are chosen from each region – the Americas (North and South), Asia Pacific (India, Korea, Singapore, etc.), EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) – and Israel. Like a medieval map of the world showing Jerusalem as its center, Israeli hi-tech advocate Yael Shany says that “according to the GSMA, Israel is a continent [...]

Thanks to Israel, the Cloud Will Be Safer

Any company that’s not sold on “the Cloud” yet will be when they hear this: According to Eddie Resnick, CEO of Israeli startup Clouds ‘R Us, 85% of computing power in many companies goes unused – ie, companies are buying seven times the average computing power they need, whether in processor speed, memory, or other expensive hardware. “It’s because companies buy for peak needs,” says Resnick, but although that peak may come just once every few weeks, organizations have, until very recently, had no choice but to be prepared.

Thanks to the Cloud, though, companies can now “outsource” their computer usage, [...]

Eyes Only...

Israeli startup Covertix makes sure that only the “right people” – in the “right places” – get to read your sensitive documents. When a Covertix “self-protected file” gets distributed, you know who read it and where, and what they did with it. Thus, you get to keep an eye on your intellectual property even when it’s in someone else’s hands. Just like there are rules for network access, there are now rules for accessing documents, so you know that your information is being viewed by the people who are supposed to be seeing them, when they’re supposed to be seeing them.

Vidyatel's 'Fingerprinting' System Keeps Video Uploads 'Kosher'

On the surface, Israeli start-up Vidyatel’s mission is to prevent unauthorized use of copyrighted video content by people who don’t pay the copyright holder for the privilege of doing so. But Vidyatel has another, more important message for us: Stop being so lazy! You’re smart, creative and intelligent – and there’s no reason you can’t come up with original content for the videos you upload to services like Metacafe. Why stick that oh-so-lame “I’ll be back” clip in your video? What does Arnold Schwarzenegger have that you don’t, anyway?

Lazy or not, though, it’s time to stop using other people’s digital [...]

The Next Best Thing to Jack

There is an Israeli company that brings “24″-style intelligence gathering capabilities to the common non-TV security agency. With its “semantic web technology,” Rosh Ha’ayin-based MindCite uses ontology – figuring out the relationship between words and concepts – to determine how people, things, and situations meet

Larotec Goes on Remote Patrol

If you run say, a public utility like the gas company with gas valves all over town, how do you keep track of them?

Get a lot of eyes, that’s how! And indeed, not too long ago, that’s the way managers responsible for large deployments of electronic, computerized, or other devices had to manage security – by sending people into the field to do a “sweep” of the conditions of their equipment. The drawback with such a system is obvious – you have to spend a lot of money paying those eyes, and by the time they get around to checking [...]
