]]>Nuclias Cloud – D-Link’s cloud-managed networking solution developed specifically for Managed Service Providers (MSPs) – has suspended all monthly billing for users since its launch earlier this year. Initially, this was scheduled to last until June, but in light of the COVID-19 crisis D-Link is extending this offer.
“Nuclias Cloud is already different to most other solutions in this space as it is available to MSPs on a month-to-month basis with no lock-in contracts. That said, MSPs, like many other businesses, have been doing it tough recently, so whilst we see some signs of economic recovery, we’d like to continue to support our partners with this additional three months fee-free Nuclias Cloud Managed Network Solution subscription,” said D-Link ANZ Managing Director Graeme Reardon.
Nuclias Cloud enables MSPs to help small businesses through to very large enterprises remotely set up, configure, monitor, troubleshoot, and manage their customers’ network infrastructure, including Wi-Fi Access Points and Network Switches, across multiple sites anytime, anywhere.
More information on Nuclias Cloud and its pricing structure can be found here.

]]>CANBERRA: It’s a bit over 14 months away, but the Australian Bureau of Statistics is spreading the word ahead of Australia’s next census.
The census, which will be held on August 10, 2021 – a Tuesday, incidentally – will be the first since August 2016. It will measure the number of people in Australia and what Stats says are their key characteristics.
The 2016 census was something of a disaster for the Government, with the event overwhelmed by denial-of-service attacks and software failures.
That saw the census-day service shut down and brought back a day later. Presumably the attackers may try again this year, but should face a better-prepared operation.
There will be a number of other changes from the 2016 shemozzle. For instance, there will be new questions on health conditions, and the Australian Defence Force will attend.
Unlike 2016, questions on Internet access in households will not be asked, given the increased mobile Internet usage on personal devices outside the home, Stats adds.
Other changes will allow the census to collect data on long-term health conditions, such as arthritis and diabetes.
And information about Australian Defence Service veterans will hopefully provide a better understanding of the circumstances of Australia’s veteran community.

]]>LONDON: The UK Government is planning new measures to restrict foreign takeovers of high-tech industries on national security grounds.
Security experts have cautioned the UK Government that it has been late to address the issue.
This comes amid growing concern about the risk of China buying high-tech companies, especially in the economic turmoil resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.
The alarm was raised by the acquisition of British chip design outfit Imagination Technologies, whose tech is used in iPhones.
The company was bought by Canyon Bridge Partners, a private equity outfit based in the Cayman Islands. But 99 percent of the funds for the purchase came from China Reform, a state-backed Chinese company.
Analysts say the Imagination acquisition was just part of an incremental process where technology has been moved out of the UK and towards China

]]>SYDNEY: The NSW Cyber Security Innovation Node (NSWCSIN) and TAFE NSW have launched an online cyber security training program comprising nine industry-aligned online training modules designed to meet current and emerging industry needs.
Officials say it will provide new and existing workers with the specialist skills they need to succeed in the growing cyber security sector.
Each module will cost between $100 and $200 and counts towards completion of the Certificate IV in Cyber Security. TAFE NSW is taking enrolments at https://www.tafensw.edu.au/cyber-security.
TAFE NSW head of technology and business services skillspoint, Geethani Nair, said the micro-learning modules drew on TAFE NSW’s nationally accredited Certificate IV in Cyber Security qualification and had been identified in collaboration with NSWCSIN.
“These modules will provide skills across a range of topics including detecting, protecting and responding to cyber-attacks, she said. “They are perfect for those looking to retrain, upskill and set themselves apart in the workplace.”
This initiative is the second phase of the NSWCSIN Cyber Security Talent Accelerator program designed to future-proof Australia’s workforce and meet the needs of industry. – Stuart Corner

]]>SYDNEY: The CSIRO and Microsoft Australia have formed a partnership to jointly use AI and machine learning to counter illegal fishing and plastic waste and to boost Australian farming.
They will analyse information gathered from high-resolution cameras and underwater microphones to assist with fishing management in Australian marine reserves like the Great Barrier Reef, and with detection of fishing via use of explosives in Indonesia.
To counter the problem of marine debris they will analyse videos of rivers and stormwater drains to identify and track garbage flows into waterways and inform intervention efforts. These include the placement of river rubbish traps and reverse vending machines where the public can recycle bottles and cans in return for a fee.
Farmers will be provided with custom, digital insights from a range of data sources, including sensors and satellites, to provide insights on tactical and strategic decision-making, including soil condition, crop growth and farm management. – Stuart Corner

]]>CANBERRA: Three public servants working at the federal Department of Finance have been hauled into court, following a year-long investigation into an alleged conspiracy to defraud the Australian Government by directing IT contracts through preferred suppliers.
The Australian Federal Police arrested and charged the three men and they appeared in the Magistrates Court yesterday. They were bailed ahead of a hearing on July 9.
All three have been charged with “conspiracy to defraud the Australian Government while working for an Australian public services agency”, an offence which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years jail.
Gopalakrishnan Suryanarayanan Vilayur is charged with conspiracy to defraud and abuse of public office. Abdul Aziz EL-Debel is charged with conspiracy to defraud and abuse of public office; and Raminder Singh Kahlon has been charged with conspiracy to defraud.
AFP Deputy Commissioner Ian McCartney said fraud is not a victimless crime and the AFP is committed to identifying and prosecuting those who misuse public money.
“This is a complex investigation, involving the analysis of a significant volume of information. This includes substantial information referred to the AFP by the Department of Finance, and investigators will continue to conduct financial inquiries to ensure we have a complete understanding of this matter,” McCartney said.
