Publication- The Times of India
Edition- Online
Date- 15 January, 2019
Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) Monday said its members, which include social media platforms like Facebook, are committed towards "fair and transparent" elections in the country. Last week, a panel had submitted its report to the Election Commission (EC) that had recommended formalising the line of communication between the EC and social media companies, so that content prima facie seen as violative can be flagged and brought down. "We would also like to thank ECI ... for adopting a consultative approach in development of the Report.
The membership of IAMAI recognises that this is an important issue and acknowledges that no online platform should be abused to undermine the integrity and sanctity of democratic processes," the IAMAI said in a statement. The association has close to 300 members, ranging from players like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Flipkart and One97 Communications (Paytm).
The IAMAI added that online platforms are committed to promptly responding to such abuse in accordance with law -- when notified by the EC -- if it is found to be in violation of Section 126 of the Representation of People Act, 1951.

Date- 15 January, 2019
Kamesh Mupparaju’s crypto currency exchange was all but uprooted when the Indian central bank announced a blanket ban on crypto trading in early 2018. His firm, Hyderabad-based BTCXIndia, was at the time, allowing trading in Bitcoin and Ethereum and had just signed up a new token called Ripple.
While Mupparaju, along with the entire bitcoin exchange community, made representations to the authorities, it was understood that crypto trading would not be allowed, at least in the foreseeable future. Seeing the headwinds, Mupparaju cooked up a pivot. He wound up the exchange and ...

Indians prefer brands that take a stand on issues concerning them: Survey
Publication- Business Standard
Edition- Online
Date- 15 January, 2019
A majority of Indians prefer to buy goods and services from companies that stand for a shared purpose that reflects their personal values and beliefs -- and are ditching those that don't, new research from Accenture said on Monday. The 14th annual Accenture "Strategy Global Consumer Pulse Research" surveyed nearly 30,000 consumers globally, including 660 Indian consumers, to gauge their expectations of brands and companies.
Among the Indian consumers surveyed, 81 per cent want companies to take a stand on social, cultural, environmental and political issues close to their hearts. Another 75 per cent said their purchasing consideration is driven by a company's ethical values and authenticity. "Price, product quality and customer experience continue to be important considerations but a brand's purpose beyond profit has emerged as a clear differentiator," said Anindya Basu, Geographic Unit and Country Senior Managing Director, Accenture in India.

Adesto Technologies Corp. announced that the new ANSI/CTA 709.7 LON® IP protocol, recently approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), will speed further adoption of LON technology and continue to expand the LonWorks ecosystem. The new standard enables native LON communication over any IP transport such as Ethernet and Wi-Fi, as well as interoperability with IP-based web services so that building and industrial automation systems can seamlessly and securely interoperate with cloud and IoT applications.
Adesto, through its recent acquisition of Echelon, collaborated with other LonMark International members to drive development and standardization of the new LON IP protocol, which describes the complete set of requirements for users, developers, vendors, integrators and specifiers of open building and industrial control systems to develop LON devices with native IP transport. As building and industrial control networks must handle ever-expanding datasets and additional IoT application interfaces, IP communications can provide higher speeds, greater bandwidth and increased flexibility.

Trend Micro Rolls Out IoT Security 2.0
Publication- Express Computer
Edition- Online
Date- 15 January, 2019
Trend Micro recently announced the global launch of Trend Micro IoT Security (TMIS) 2.0 to help manufacturers and managed service providers improve the security of their products and the wider IoT ecosystem, while enabling them to drive competitive differentiation. With most traditional security products, it’s not possible for end users to install protection for IoT solutions by themselves, which is where TMIS 2.0 comes in.
“IoT threats are no longer theoretical: endpoints around the globe are being hijacked for data theft, attacked with ransomware and crypto-mining malware, conscripted into DDoS botnets and more,” said Akihiko Omikawa, executive vice president of Trend Micro. “It’s vital that manufacturers step up to raise the bar on security.
By integrating threat monitoring, detection and protection into the device itself, consumers and businesses will enhance their security from the moment they install and switch on TMIS 2.0. That’s the kind of value the market is increasingly demanding of IoT device makers.”
