Today's Story Highlights

Could Tech Nerf North Korea?
When a hostile country regularly lobs missiles into the ocean with the
stated objective of transforming a U.S. state into a radioactive cloud,
we have a problem. One "oops" and we could suddenly become a 49-state
nation again. Approaches to North Korea tend to be in-the-box thinking,
but there are new technologies that effectively could neutralize the
threat it poses.

Trustify President Jennifer Mellon: Diversity Is Good Business
"My team has always, from day one, been 70 percent female," said
Trustify President Jennifer Mellon. "You know, we're not a flower
delivery service -- we're doing private investigation. It's not a space
women often lead in, so I'm really proud of that. ... Over 45 percent of
my team identified with a protected minority population -- including
LGBT, race, ethnic and religious minorities."

IoT Fuels Growth of Linux Malware
Malware targeting Linux systems is growing, largely due to a
proliferation of devices created to connect to the Internet of Things.
That is one of the findings in a report WatchGuard Technologies released
last week. The report, which analyzes data gathered from more than
26,000 appliances worldwide, found three Linux malware programs in the
top 10 for the first quarter of the year.

The Stupidly Dangerous Politics of Blame
I hope that, like me, you are off this long holiday weekend and have a
chance to think about the drama that now surrounds the U.S.
administration. What I find fascinating isn't that the government is a
bit of a mess but that the accidental transparency of this
administration is focusing us more on the visibility of the problems
rather than on the problems themselves.

Google Gives Up Scanning Personal Gmail
Google recently announced the end of its policy of scanning user emails
for targeted advertising purposes -- a controversial practice that riled
privacy advocates and spurred legal challenges. Gmail is the world's
most widely used email provider, with more than 1.2 billion users.
Google attributed its decision to gains it has made in the enterprise.
