"In view of customer data security breaches industry-wide, we engaged a global systems security company to attempt hacking into every corner of our operations network and system," said Tim Odell, Executive Director of Technology for SmartReply. "After months of random attacks, our systems passed vigorous tests to the highest possible standards." SmartReply is now the only voice and mobile marketing services provider for retailers to become PCI Certified.

Just as the guillotine hacked off heads during the French Revolution, in the genomics revolution Molecular Devices and its bioanalysis systems are hacking time and costs off developing new drugs. The firm's products, which automate certain drug-discovery tasks, include Maxline microplate readers that measure the concentration of a substance in a test sample. Another product, IonWorks, screens ion channels to determine how they interact with chemicals. Its FLIPR system measures cellular responses to drug candidates. Molecular Devices' customers include pharmaceutical and biotech firms, as well as academic, government, and other R&D labs around the world. The firm has agreed to be acquired by MDS.

In addition, Dreamcast continues to have a modest hacking enthusiast community. The availability of KallistiOS and Windows CE software development kits on the Internet, as well as ports of Linux [1] and NetBSD/Dreamcast [2] operating systems, gave programmers a selection of familiar development tools to work with. KallistiOS is a homebrew minimal operating system that offers support for a majority of the Dreamcast's hardware and peripherals. Its license allows hobbyist programmers to release games created with this SDK to be released commercially. Recent examples being Cryptic Allusion's Feet of Fury (2003), S+F Software's Inhabitants (2005), JMD's Maqiupai (2005), Harmlesslion's Cool Herders (2006), and NG:DEV.TEAM's Last Hope (2007).

IT professionals are constantly coping with ever-increasing instances of system hacking, identity theft and virus attacks to their enterprise networks. Increases in telecommuting and remote network use are boosting the demand for more secure connections from the home or remote locations to the enterprise. As the workforce becomes more distributed, corporations are searching for stronger methods of protecting their networks and users from attack, hence the growing requirement for stronger security.
