Today's Story Highlights

Feds Value - but Don't Always Use - Big Data Tools for Cybersecurity
U.S. government agencies can significantly improve their ability to deal
with cybersecurity problems by utilizing big data analytics. However,
agencies are finding it difficult to fully benefit from these advanced
analytical tools for a variety of reasons -- including dealing with the
sheer volume of data. Cyberthreats hide in plain sight, suggests a
recent report from MeriTalk.

Verizon Pursues OTT Dream With $4.4B AOL Buy
Verizon will make a tender offer of $4.4 billion for AOL, the companies
announced Tuesday. AOL will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon
upon completion of the merger agreement this summer. The deal drives
Verizon's LTE wireless video and over-the-top video strategies, and
provides support and connectivity for the company's Internet of Things
platforms.

Google Makes It Easier for Online Hunters to Gather Food
Google last week added an option that lets users place a food order
directly from search results. Six providers are participating in the
service: Seamless, Grubhub, Eat24, Delivery.com, BeyondMenu and
MyPizza.com. More are expected to join later this year. This could
provide Google with an entry into the growing food-delivery market.
Consumers increasingly are searching online for food options.
