From the <i>Challenge Accepted? dept.:</i><br />
The US National Security Agency has offered up one of its cyber security tools for government departments and the private sector to use freely to help beef up their security and counter threats.<br />
<br />
The systems integrity management platform - SIMP - was released to the code repository GitHub over the weekend.<br />
<br />
SIMP helps to keep networked systems compliant with security standards, the NSA said, and should form part of a layered, "defence-in-depth" approach to information security.<br />

Firefox 39 has been released for both desktop and mobile systems. The new features include a social sharing tool for the Firefox Hello video chat subsystem.

A broad coalition of industry leaders and users are joining forces to create the Open Container Project (OCP), chartered to establish common standards for software containers.<br />

Housed under the Linux Foundation, the OCPâs mission is to enable users and companies to continue to innovate and develop container-based solutions, with confidence that their pre-existing development efforts will be protected and without industry fragmentation. As part of this initiative, Docker will donate the code for its software container format and its runtime, as well as the associated specifications. The leadership of the Application Container spec (âappcâ) initiative, including founding member CoreOS, will also be bringing their technical leadership and support to OCP.";s:7:"summary";s:825:"

"Mozilla has revamped its Firefox OS mobile software project after concluding that ultra-affordable $25 handsets aren't enough to take on the biggest powers of the smartphone world, CNET has learned.<br />

The nonprofit organization rose to prominence with the success of its Firefox Web browser a decade ago, but it's having trouble achieving the same success with its Firefox operating system for smartphones. According to a Thursday email from new Chief Executive Chris Beard, Mozilla has changed its strategy to a new "Ignite" initiative that emphasizes phones with compelling features, not just with lower price tags. It's also considering letting its operating system run apps written for its top rival, Google's Android."";s:7:"summary";s:783:"
