French President Emmanuel Macron says France is not excluding Chinese telecom giant Huawei from its upcoming 5G telecommunication networks but favors European providers for security reasons. France's information security agency ANSSI said last month that Huawei Technologies Ltd. will not be banned from France, but French telecoms operators that buy its technology will only be able to get licenses limited to eight years.
More attention should be dedicated to strange login times and locations so that cloud and SaaS account compromises do not result in company-wide damage. Since the unusual login location was accompanied by an unusual login time, the actions triggered a deeper analysis from my team.

The new technique provides possibility to analyze data directly on compressed files, and it may have a major impact on the so-called "Data tsunami" from massive amounts of IoT devices. "Today, if you need just 1 Byte of data from a 100 MB compressed file, you usually have to decompress a significant part of the whole file to access to the data. Our technology enables random access to the compressed data. It means that you can access 1 Byte data at the cost of only decompressing less than 100 Bytes, which is several orders of magnitude lower compared to the state-of-the-art technologies. This could have a huge impact on data accessibility, data processing speed and the cloud storage infrastructure," says Associate Professor Qi Zhang from Aarhus University.
