Bill to remove police radio encryption faces pushback – The Almanac Online

An effort by state Sen. Josh Becker to restore media access to police radio communications encountered resistance Tuesday, with several members of the state Assembly Public Safety Committee warning him that the measure is unlikely to win passage without stronger support from law enforcement agencies and backing from the state Department of Justice.

Becker's bill, Senate Bill 1000, is a response to the recent trend of police departments across the state fully encrypting their radio communications, thereby blocking the media or the public from monitoring police activities. In adopting the encryption policies, law enforcement agencies point to an October 2020 memo from the state Department of Justice, which ordered them to protect personally identifiable information such as Social Security numbers, license plate numbers and criminal records from radio transmission.

The DOJ memo allowed law enforcement agencies to meet the memo's objective by either encrypting their radio communications or adopting policies that protect private information but transmit most other communications through open channels. The Palo Alto Police Department is one of dozens around the state that chose full encryption.

While Palo Alto has publicly supported SB 1000, other law enforcement agencies are fiercely opposing the bill. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department is among them. Sgt. Julio de Leon said his department had spent millions of dollars to encrypt its radio communications and thousands of personnel hours.

"Now with this bill, the legislation will be forcing us to decrypt communications once again, which will cost us several millions of dollars to accomplish this task and thousands of hours," de Leon said. "This is simply unfair."

The two Republicans on the committee, Vice Chair Tom Lackey and Assembly member Kelly Seyarto both said they will oppose the bill. Lackey noted that the push to encrypt was prompted by a state Department of Justice mandate and argued that the remedy must similarly come from the state department. Proponents of the bill, he said, need to work out the solution with the DOJ.

"I understand their frustrations but I totally believe (what is) being proposed here creates a greater problem in compliance, and I believe law enforcement is truly caught in the middle on this thing and it's unfair to them, as an agency, to comply with privacy (requirements) and also reach out and engage in transparency," Lackey said.

Seyarto argued that requiring police officers to add additional frequency just for sharing information could create a barrier for their safety if they have to switch frequency while under duress.

"For me, paramount in all of this is the safety of the police officers," Seyarto said.

Though similar arguments came up during Senate hearings, SB 1000 enjoyed a relatively smooth path through the Legislature's upper chamber, which on May 26 voted to approve the bill by a 25-8 vote, largely along party lines. The Tuesday meeting suggested that getting through the Assembly level may prove to be tougher.

Even though the committee voted 3-2 along party lines to advance SB 1000, those who supported it suggested that the bill's proponents need to work closer with law enforcement agencies to reach a compromise.

Assembly member Reggie Jones-Sawyer, who chairs the Public Safety Committee, told Becker that his biggest challenge will probably be getting the bill out of the Appropriations Committee and resolving whether the legislation will cost millions of dollars for law enforcement to implement.

"Hopefully, you can get there, otherwise you'll have a difficult time to get out of Appropriations and get off the floor," Jones-Sawyer said.

Becker emphasized at Tuesday's hearing that SB 1000 provides a host of options for law enforcement agencies wishing to transmit private information over secure channels to ensure officer safety. They could, for example, follow the lead of the California Highway Patrol, which adopted a "hybrid" approach in which personally identifiable information gets transmitted through secure channels while other communication remains publicly accessible. He argued that the law is necessary to ensure transparency.

"Law enforcement can in fact protect private information without putting the public in the dark," Becker said at Tuesday's hearing.

SB 1000 states that agencies may comply with the confidentiality requirement by using an encrypted channel for dissemination of confidential information; by transmitting the information by a mobile data terminal, tablet or other text display device; or by communicating it through a telephone or other private device-to-device communication.

Jennifer Seelig, director of news and programming at KCBS and board member at the Radio Television Digital News Association, called Becker's bill "critically important to the safety, security and well-being of the public" because it restores an essential tool that journalists rely on to provide information.

"Journalists have a responsibility to inform the public in real time," Seelig said. "The decision by a number of law enforcement agencies to fully encrypt their scanner communication greatly limits the ability of journalists to serve the public during natural disasters, evacuations, mass casualty incidents and other news events."

How to Disable BitLocker Encryption on Windows 10 and 11 – How-To Geek

Ar_TH/Shutterstock.com

Windows 10 and 11s BitLocker feature, for Professional and Enterprise editions, encrypts your drive to help keep your data secure. If you dont want this encryption for some reason, its easy to disable BitLocker and decrypt your drive. Well show you how to do that.

If youre concerned about privacy and security, know that removing BitLocker encryption makes your drive data more accessible in certain situations. For example, if you use a dual-boot PC, the other operating system can access the data stored on your drive if youve disabled BitLocker. Also, if your laptop gets stolen or you lose it, whoever has it can access the unencrypted data on your machines drive.

If your concern is with remote hackers and thieves accessing your drives data while youre connected to the internet, keep in mind that BitLocker doesnt protect against that; your data is already decrypted while youre using the machine. Its the job of your firewall, yourantivirus software, and yourself as the user to protect you from online threats. Aperson or another operating system with physical access to your device will be your main concern if you choose to proceed.

RELATED: The Best Antivirus Software of 2022

To disable BitLocker on Windows 10 or Windows 11, youll follow these steps. We used a Windows 11 PC below to demonstrate the steps, but Windows 10 is virtually the same.

To get started, open the Start menu, search for Control Panel, and select Control Panel in the search results.

When Control Panel opens, click System and Security.

On the System and Security page, choose BitLocker Drive Encryption.

Next to the drive where youve enabled BitLocker, click Turn Off BitLocker.

Select the Turn Off BitLocker option.

Windows will now start decrypting the contents of your drive, which can take quite some time, especially if your drive has a lot of content on it. In the meantime, you can continue to work with your files as usual.

Your drive is now decrypted and you can access the data on it however you want.

If youre looking for an alternative to BitLocker, consider using Veracrypt, which is a free and open-source encryption tool.

Cloud storage reviews: how we tested them – TechRadar

Less than a decade ago, it was hard to imagine a world in which all our computing needs revolved around the cloud. Sure, it was a thing, but the sheer thought that we would be storing some of lifes most treasured moments on a hard drive somewhere outside of our homes was ludicrous.

Now that this is a reality, picking the best cloud storage provider (opens in new tab) is crucial. Every option we have reviewed has been thoroughly tested by a number of staff and/or freelancers to get consistent results from multiple viewpoints.

A cloud storage drive is a long-term solution, and value for money is number one priority here. We didnt just look for the best deals, but companies that frequently offer good value deals for below their usual prices.

We favored solutions with flexible payment plans, though many also offered incentives for long-term commitments. Paying for 12 months upfront would often result in the equivalent of 10 usual monthly payments, for example.

Each individuals usage pattern will be different from the next person, but we tried to emulate as many scenarios as we thought any cloud drive would encounter. Text-only, photo and video files were uploaded and downloaded, topped only by our hefty 1GB test file which was used to set the benchmark for upload and download times.

Most downloads had the pleasure of a fairly decent 350mbps connection, though as is the case with most broadband connections in the UK, the 30mbps or so upload speed was about as good as it got.

For reference, most uploads took around five to 10 minutes - finishing in under five minutes in this category suggests a healthy, unthrottled connection to the cloud storage drives servers. Downloads were mostly under five minutes, with sub-one-minute downloads being optimal.

Many people fear losing their data when its stored on the cloud, and thats a perfectly natural concern to have. Ransomware can be particularly destructive, too, wreaking havoc in places youve never explored before, deep inside your computer.

For us to award a high score to any cloud storage or cloud backup service, it had to be able to assure us that our data was safe. There are two key elements to consider here: how many versions of a single file the system will keep (this can be handy if for nothing else just to track changes made in a document), and how long these versions are retained for.

Other features we looked for were file encryption, end-to-end transfer encryption, account protection such as two-factor authentication, support for online editing and the number of computers able to access the software, if applicable.

Many of us are already familiar with iCloud Drive, Microsoft OneDrive or Google Drive, either because they are deeply ingrained in our own computers or that we use them for work. As such, it is easy to compare lesser-known companies to these big players in terms of ease of use, compatibility and pricing.

Its important to remember that there isnt a clear-cut template for all things cloud storage - some focus on files, others on photos, and a select few aim to backup your entire computer. This is why we focus on the key rivals for each review, in the interest of fairness.

We've also featured the best free cloud storage.

These Are The Ten Biggest Storage Cryptocurrencies – ValueWalk

Cloud storage is a centralized storage platform, but they are vulnerable to data theft or loss. Decentralized storage platforms, however, can overcome this drawback by breaking user data into smaller pieces and spreading it across nodes. Also, data is automatically encrypted when uploaded to the network. Such platforms usually have their own coins or tokens as they exist on a blockchain. Lets take a look at the ten biggest storage cryptocurrencies.

We have referred to the market capitalization data (as of June 22, 2022) of storage cryptocurrencies to rank the ten biggest storage cryptocurrencies.

Key considerations when planning to migrate to the cloud, part two – ITWeb

Being passionate about the cloud and the benefits it can bring to an organisations digital transformation journey, last month I shared part one of my views around important aspects to consider for a successful migration to the cloud.

In it, I addressed the need for clearly-defined business goals, spoke about the cloud migration strategy and the various cloud migration methods, and touched on the question around whether an organisation should outsource key IT functions to third-party experts or manage its IT infrastructure in-house.

In this second article, I share my views on some of the remaining considerations. So, to continue

Number four: Cloud migration framework

It is important to adopt a robust cloud migration framework which enables organisations to implement cloud migration in phases, making it easier to manage and control the project. The framework must include the following:

As-is IT landscape assessment to understand all existing workloads. Determine which workloads are still relevant, how much resources are allocated, are they efficiently used? Is the security in place adequate?

Cloud readiness assessmentassess cloud readiness of existing applications and data todetermine the level of complexity to migrate them to the cloud.

Legacy workload migrationnow the organisation is ready to perform the cloud migration. The public cloud platform chosen will influence the type of resources and skills required.Start by migrating a couple of workloads and ensure they work correctly in the new environment. Continue with this phased approach until all workloads are migrated.

Post-migration operations once the workloads have been migrated to the cloud, the process of decommissioning legacy systems can start.Involving in-house team members early on and throughout the project becomes important during this phase, to ensure that transitioning to the new modern operating modelis seamless. Performance of the cloud environment needs to be measured against set service level agreements and performance metrics with a view to optimise where requiredto ensure the business objectives are met in the new environment.

Number five: User adoption

Effective user adoption is critical for any successful cloud migration project. A change management strategy needs to be developed and should run throughout the project lifecycle to ensure users are on board with the new cloud implementation.

It is important to have leaders that are actively and visibly supporting the cloud migration project. This ensures commitment and shows a clear vision of the future and how the new changes will benefit the company.

It is important to adopt a robust cloud migration framework which enables organisations to implement cloud migration in phases, making it easier to manage and control the project.

For end-users, an organisation will need to clearly articulate how the new systems will benefit the end-user and how it will add value to their day-to-day work.

One way of achieving this is to develop a change programme that lays the foundation of how the implementation will go.

Below are five steps that need to be taken to ensure a successful change programme:

Clearly explain the need for change demonstrate to people why change is necessary and communicate both the potential benefits and the challenges the project may encounter and the plans to mitigate against them.

Plan for the change start the project with a solid plan. A detailed plan will help get buy-in from leaders and give all the role players a sense of accountability.

Implement the change assign the tasks according to the plan and kick-off the project.

Continuously review and modify implementation once the project is under way, track progress and make changes when necessary.

Communicate the progress communicate all project milestones as well as challenges. It is important to be transparent to gain trust.

Number six: Data security

The organisation needs to adopt data loss prevention (DLP) strategies that specifically deal with cloud data protection. Even though public cloud providers have robust security measures in place, it is important that the organisation is proactive about cloud security, privacy and data protection, and to ensure that sensitive data stored in the cloud is encrypted.

The biggest challenge in protecting cloud data is that data is stored in multiple places, such as cloud storage solutions like Amazon Web Services. The popularity of consumer cloud storage services like Dropbox and iCloud further compounds the problem that an organisation can be faced with. Even worse, this cloud data can be accessed anywhere, anytime using any network or devices which may or may not be secure.

There are two options for cloud DLP, namely cloud application API and cloud security access broker (CSAB). The advantage of using API is that developers are already familiar with programming APIs and can use them to implement security measures at the application level. However, application-level security is limited by the fact that most cyber attacks happen over APIs.

A CASB solution is a security tool that resides between a cloud service application and its end-users, enforcing organisational security policies and best practices, protecting against intrusions and preventing data leakage. An organisation can run CASBs on its on-premises infrastructure or in the cloud, and CASBs are easily integrated into existing on-premises DLP solutions. The organisation does not have to start from scratch as it can simply extend its existing DLP to the cloud if it already has one.

Regardless of the cloud DLP solution an organisation chooses, its important for DLP policies to be consistent. The same data policies that apply within the enterprise must also be enforced within the cloud.

Number seven: Cloud computing service models

There are three types of cloud computing service models, namely software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS). When embarking on a cloud journey, it is important to have a good understanding of these models and choose the one(s) suitable for the business use case.

SaaS is a licensing and software delivery model, which allows access to software on a subscription or pay as you use basis.

PaaS is a cloud computing model where a third-party provides, over the internet, a set of tools and services designed to make coding and deployment of applications quick and efficient.

IaaS is a cloud computing delivery model that provides cloud computing infrastructure servers, storage, network and operating systems as an on-demand service over the internet.

SaaS characteristics include:

IaaS characteristics include:

In conclusion, when planning to migrate to the cloud, an organisation must have a clearly-defined use case that the cloud will satisfy. It is important to have a plan detailing the migration method and the process that will be followed.

To minimise risk of project failure, the organisation should consider partnering with cloud experts with a proven track record in cloud migration.

Version 1.1 of Axles Revolutionary axledit Collaborative Editing Platform Launches at Vidcon US 2022 – AZoRobotics

The creator economy is experiencing explosive growth, and industry leader axle ai, Inc. has chosen this week's VidCon US 2022 conference (booth #1310) as the venue to launch version 1.1 of its revolutionary axledit collaborative editing platform. Unlike traditional video editing software, but like modern document editing tools like Google Docs, axledit runs entirely in your browser and allows real-time collaboration between team members, clients and assistants. The system also features one-click publishing of high-res rendered videos to YouTube and Vimeo, without requiring a cumbersome download and upload of media files.

Axle's solutions are uniquely affordable and built for the needs of content creators, from individual editors seeking to review content with to clients and collaborators, to larger "media factory" teams.

Here's an overview of the new features in axledit 1.1:

There is a worldwide explosion of video content. In an IDC report, the market intelligence firm estimated that the sum of data generated globally by 2025 is set to accelerate exponentially to nearly 180 zettabytes. A growing, double-digit percentage of this storage is used to house media files. Meanwhile, over 500,000 video teams worldwide are responsible for editing, managing and publishing this content.

Axledit 1.1 allows the unique capability of editing and even rendering directly from archived material in the cloud. Unlike existing cloud services which only allow media to be retrieved from archive in a cumbersome, slow process, axledit 1.1's Tera feature offers immediate access with no egress fees allowing unlimited, realtime access to HD and 4K footage as well as high resolution images and audio files saved on axledit Tera.

Sam Bogoch, CEO of axle ai, said "For years, creative teams have expressed the need for a simplified and cost-efficient way to store, search and edit their content.Legacy solutions for broadcasters have been expensive and complex, but axledit 1.1 brings revolutionary browser-based editing to everyone in the creator economy."

Axledit provides for easy export of media, XMLs a nd EDLs to traditional editing software. The company is currently developing a panel for Adobe's Premiere Pro editor that will allow one-button imports of media and sequences into the Premiere Pro timeline; the beta test program will begin in July and potential beta testers are invited to email [emailprotected]

In addition to its booth #1310 at VidCon, directly across from Blackmagic, axle ai will be demonstrating axledit 1.1 at the TechCrunch Summer Party in Menlo Park, and on a global webinar with Seagate and Archiware on June 30th - signup is at:https://www.seagate.com/promos/lyve-cloud-digital-media-repository-webinar/.

Axledit 1.1 is available immediately at a starting price of $10 per user per month plus $12 per terabyte per month. A higher user tier offers additional integrations and capabilities, at $50 per user per month plus $12 per terabyte per month. Both pricing tiers include all axledit collaborative features including multi-editor timeline editing, version locking, review and approval from mobile devices. Additional capabilities, such as cataloging large on-premise media storage with the aid of machine learning (axle ai 2022) or automating repetitive workflow tasks and integrating third-party REST APIs (axle connectr) are available at additional cost.
