Wednesday May 12th, 2010Use Unified Communications from the cloud
Ever since I started in telecoms, there was this constant debate about the PABX (Private Area Branch Exchange), the telephone switch for companies. Next to the telephone set, it was *the* thing to have. And it had features like “follow me”, “login”, “conferencing” etc. And it used to be expensive, complicated to configure, big and with expensive software. Today the trend is changing : telephony comes from the cloud and is much more economical.

Monday May 10th, 2010Make your datacenter compliant to the European Code of Conduct

DNS is one of the silent technologies that is used by the whole world without thinking about it. It stands for Domain Name Service and is allows us to type a name like www.acmecorporation.com (*) to get in contact with the target server. It is part of the internet and its associated technologies. It works that well we do not even remember that we are using it. But there is a trick.

Tuesday October 13th, 2009BruCON conference videos and presentations online
Belgacom was the main sponsor of the BruCON conference which took place last month. BruCON is an annual security and hacker (in the positive sense of the word) conference that provided two days of exciting atmosphere for open discussions of critical information security issues, privacy, information technology and its cultural/technical implications on society. Organized in Brussels, BruCON offered a high quality line up of speakers, security challenges and interesting workshops.
BruCON was an international conference, with 300 attendees from all over the world. The talks covered a lot of different ground and topics, including cryptography, social engineering, SQL injection, cyber warfare, botnets, hackerspaces, kiosk hacking, and a lot more. Some of the material has been prepared exclusively for this event and won’t be available elsewhere which is definitely another good reason to attend next year.
