Mobility. It's not a new trend, but it's a growing one. Indeed, the workforce is becoming increasingly mobile and that mobility is driving security concerns that software giants like Oracle are trying to solve.
Oracle sees a critical need for solutions that help enterprises control access to business data and also protect that data on mobile devices. Advanced security controls for personal and corporate devices, are needed, without complicating the user experience.
To meet these needs, the enterprise-software maker is launching the Oracle Mobile Security Suite, which lets users securely access enterprise data from their own devices, while at the same time protecting that information by isolating corporate and personal data.
Oracle Says Its Solution Is Different
"By extending security and access capabilities to mobile devices, organizations can protect corporate resources on employee devices without compromising the user experience," explained Amit Jasuja, Oracle's senior VP of Java and Identity Management.
Jasuja said Oracle's security solution brings the firm's Identity Management platform to mobile devices, so organizations can address the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) challenge logically.
Along with Oracle's existing Identity and Access solutions, the new suite offers an integrated platform that organizations can use to manage access to all applications from all devices -- including laptops, desktops, and mobile devices.
Oracle insists its approach is different from the approaches taken by other mobile device management (MDM) solutions because those others focus on the devices themselves. That strategy can create separate security silos requiring companies to spend more money on expensive products to integrate with their identity solutions.
Instead, Oracle said its Mobile Security Suite focuses on the apps and the users, allowing IT to more efficiently and securely administer and manage access.
An End-to-End Solution
The company said its Mobile Security Suite provides a secure workspace so organizations can separate corporate and personal apps. That means enterprises can protect their apps and data as well as enforce their security policies without interfering with users' personal information.
The workspace also offers security controls, enabling companies to enforce single sign-on, per-app network tunneling, and encryption for stored data, and integration with Microsoft Active Directory for shared-drive access.
As for mobility security controls, the software are able to limit access or restrict functionality based on location. The solution also lets companies control their application policies, including limiting copy/paste/print to prevent data loss. Additionally, if employees are terminated or otherwise leave their jobs, organizations can remotely wipe corporate data and apps from their mobile devices.
The Oracle Mobile Security Suite also includes an e-mail client, secure browser, file manager, white pages app, document editor, and a mobile app catalog that can serve as an app store.

Great song! Thank you
Michelle Manesh on
I can't wait for the soundtrack!!! I wonder if we can expect a song from Wax Wings :) Just in case it matters- i vote for #6
Simon O'Connor on
Sensational song, beautifully flowing.
After backing this a couple of weeks back, my wife and I grabbed our copy of Garden State off the shelf that we hadn't watched in _years_.
There was so much of it we didn't remember, and I was reminded again of what an awesome film it is. It also reminded me how many songs that are really locked in my head come from that soundtrack.
Now, listening to this song I'm damn psyched about the soundtrack for this movie, and the movie itself.
In a happy little place right now. :)
Johnny Utah on
You know, this project is the 2nd thing I ever supported on kickstarter. Crowd-funding a film, what a great idea. What a great way to combat piracy. I will admit I'm no stranger to pirating movies but something like this is truly interesting - near-direct access to the star/creator himself, getting all these extra bonuses for supporting the film (in my case at the level I supported I get to watch the movie on my PC before it comes out, all these nice posts from ZB himself, and a tshirt) there's more value to backing the film than pirating it. This truly can change everything about what is wrong about how things are done. I'm so glad to be a part if it.
Lindsay Malinowski on
Great Great Song! Keep listening to it over and over.
Simone Riccio on
Hi Zach, can you explain me why my draw wans't selected for the contest? You put many of the same author... https://www.facebook.com/photo.php… You don't like?

Thanks for the tunes President Zach
Alexander The'AdventMaster Pritchard on
No, no.
You're amazing.
A Foster on
Even though I backed this project, I was still fairly middle of the road on Mr Braff himself and mildly concerned that this was worth the effort. Yes, I was a big fan of Scrubs for the first several seasons, but he never really clicked with me on anything else I saw him in -but here's the reason for this comment: |This guy right here, this guy is SO freakin into this movie, that he is winning me over. All these updates, all the progress... Zach Braff is so insanely excited to be making this movie, and that all of you are so excited that you helped make it possible, that I'm not ashamed at all. Even if by some ridiculous happenstance the movie tanked and was terrible (I don't believe if for one second) I would still fund this man's next one. Anyone that much in love with what they do wins my respect.
I look forward to seeing this thing in, I estimate, another thirty-five hundred updates, or so... ; )
Joanna Carmen on
Just perfect ! Hope the sun will shine tomorrow in Paris... still waiting for Spring to come here ! Thanks a lot Zach & Cary Brothers :)

jessica hyde on
Even before knowing much about the movie, this song feels like a perfect choice. :)
Abdul J on
Weekly playlists during the production phase of this project was the biggest draw for me to back this movie, outside of the desire to see something in the tone of Garden State of course! I'm so glad that even though we're only in pre-production we've already been given a cool freebie song today, plus a nice album recommendation (Kurt Vile) as well as that community list of music recommendations!
Really enjoying this journey and the Kickstarter pledge time hasnt even ended yet! Good stuff guys.

Keira Henninger posted on her blog a few things - she is really good at being positive and sending out reminders - and I thought it would be awesome to spread those words more.
Life is a gift, and you are only here once. Do not ever loose site of that. No matter what you are thinking or feeling it will move forward regardless of weather or not you want it to. It's best to live it the way you want to, and with no regrets. It is most certainly ok to make mistakes. It is most certainly ok to be afraid of making life changing decisions. Just remember to learn from mistakes, and not continually make them. To learn from regret, and do whatever it takes to get your life in the right place. Do not sacrifice your own happiness to stay comfortable or please someone else. Tomorrow you will be 70-then 95. Blink...it will be here before you know it. Will you truly be able to look back and say you have spent it with the right person? You share the same passions, and friends? You love your job? You have given everything you could to those you love. My life has changed tremendously in the last year, and I believe it's vital for me to send a message to women(and men) that life is exactly what you make of it, and no matter how bad it seems there is always a way out of your problems. I wanted to pull together some thoughts I have read in different places, and pass them along to all of you. It's never to late to make a change. Never.
- There comes a point in life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything, but it's not giving up. It's realizing you don't need certain people and things and the drama they bring.
- If a person wants to be a part of your life they will make an obvious effort to do so. Don't bother reserving a space in your heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.
- If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down – which is not always as obvious and easy as it sounds.
- Doing something and getting it wrong is at least ten times more productive than doing nothing.
- Every success has a trail of failures behind it, and every failure is leading towards success. You don't fail by falling down. You fail by never getting back up.
- Everyone basically wants the same things. Theywant validation, love, happiness, fulfillment and hopes for a better future. The way they pursue these desires is where things branch off, but the fundamentals are the same.
- The more things you own, the more your things own you. Less truly gives you more freedom.
- While you're busy looking for the perfect person, you'll probably miss the imperfect person who could make you perfectly happy. It's about being exactly who you are and then finding someone who appreciates that, and shares that with you.
- Relationships must be chosen wisely. It's better to be alone than to be in bad company. There's no need to rush. If something is meant to be, it will happen – in the right time, with the right person, and for the best reason.
- Making a thousand friends is not a miracle. A miracle is making one friend who will stand by your side when thousands are against you.
- Someone will always be better looking. Someone will always be smarter. Someone will always be more charismatic. But they will never be you.
- Making progress involves risk. Period. You can't make it to second base with your foot on first.
- Every morning you are faced with two choices: You can aimlessly stumble through the day not knowing what's going to happen and simply react to events at a moment's notice, or you can go through the day directing your own life and making your own decisions and destiny.
- Everyone makes mistakes. If you can't forgive others, don't expect others to forgive you.
- It's okay to fall apart for a little while. You don't always have to pretend to be strong, and there is no need to constantly prove that everything is ok.
- We sometimes do things that are permanently damaging just because we are temporarily upset. A lot of heartache can be avoided if you learn to control your emotions.
- Someone else doesn't have to be wrong for you to be right. There are many roads to what's right. Remember to: sometimes it's just easier to have peace that be right.
- Nobody is perfect, and nobody deserves to be perfect. Nobody has it easy. You never know what people are going through. Every one of us has issues. So don't belittle yourself or anyone else. Everybody is fighting their own unique war.
- A smile doesn't always mean a person is happy. Sometimes it simply means they are strong enough to face their problems.
- The happiest people I know keep an open mind to new ideas and ventures, use their leisure time as a means of mental development, and love good music, good books, good pictures, good company and good conversation.
- You can't take things too personally. Rarely do people do things because of you. They do things because of them.
- Feelings change, people change, and time keeps rolling. You can hold on to past mistakes or you can create your own happiness. True happiness comes from within. Don't make the mistake of waiting on someone or something to come along and make you happy.
- It's much harder to change the length of your life than it is to change the depth of it.
- You end up regretting the things you did NOT do far more than the things you did.
- When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.
- One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that's trying to make you like everyone else.
- Enjoy the little things, because one day you may look back and discover they were the big things. Read
- Share your life with someone who truly shares in your life. "Those that play together stay together".
- Everything is a life lesson. Everyone you meet, everything you encounter, etc. They're all part of the learning experience we call 'life.' Never forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things don't go your way. If you don't get a job that you wanted or a relationship doesn't work, it only means something better is out there waiting. And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it.
- Regardless of how filthy your past has been, your future is still spotless. Don't start your day with the broken pieces of yesterday. Every day is a fresh start. Every morning we wake up is the first day of the rest of our life.

Coming off a season where they finished last in the league, scored the fewest and conceded the most goals in MLS, the Red Bulls' two wins to start the season signaled a potential turnaround for a franchise that never truly has lived up to its flagship billing in MLS.
With the fast start, expectations were raised and remained high, despite last weekend's 2-0 loss on the road to Chivas USA. The question around New York all week was whether a franchise so inept and so snake-bitten last season could bounce back.
Watch: FULL MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
New York responded on Saturday night with an ambiguous 2-1 win over FC Dallas. It was certainly a win for a team that needed the result, but it wasn't an inspiring performance.
Things did not start well for New York, as a Dax McCarthy goal in the ninth minute off a cross from Heath Pearce gave the visitors an early lead. It wasn't until well into the second half that the Red Bulls equalized as Juan Pablo Ángel one-timed his first goal of the season past FC Dallas' goalkeeper Darío Sala.
It was almost stoppage time when New York finally took the lead. Ángel, who missed a penalty kick earlier in the half, fired home from the spot in the 89th minute to give New York its third win of the season.
Early in the week, New York head coach Hans Backe said he was looking to see how his team responded from last week's setback. The first-year coach told MLSsoccer.com he wasn't sure how his team would bounce back from the Chivas USA game, and that he thought his team should have gotten a result.
"We didn't really respond well," Backe said of the team's performance on Saturday night against FC Dallas.
Backe said that his team was under siege by FC Dallas as the game opened, saying, "The first 10 or 15 minutes, we looked totally paralyzed. It was just a matter of time till they scored."
All told, FC Dallas had more than double the numbers of shots and shots on goals than the home side, forcing goalkeeper Bouna Coundoul to play above himself for long stretches of the second half.
"Bouna [Coundoul] kept us in the game, five or six key saves," Backe said.
A result is a result for a team that didn't win its third game until Aug. 23 last season. Despite the fact that New York churned and gutted out three points in a game in which it probably shouldn't have earned even one, the Red Bulls players still aren't pleased with the way they got the win.
"For whatever reason, we came out flat the first 10 minutes," defender Tim Ream told MLSsoccer.com. "We just didn't respond well."

(Reuters) - The family of Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao, a leader known for his humble roots and compassion for ordinary people, has accumulated massive wealth during his time in power, the New York Times reported on Friday.
"A review of corporate and regulatory records indicates that the prime minister's relatives, some of whom have a knack for aggressive deal-making, including his wife, have controlled assets worth at least $2.7 billion," it said.
The Times' websites in English and Chinese were blocked in China on Friday morning, and searches for the New York Times as well as the names of Wen's children and wife were blocked on China's main Twitter-like microblog service.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei told a daily briefing the report "smears China's name and has ulterior motives".
Asked why the websites were blocked, Hong said: "China manages the Internet in accordance with laws and rules."
The Times reported that Wen's mother, siblings and children had amassed the majority of the wealth since Wen was named vice premier in 1998. Wen was promoted to the premiership in 2003.
Giving one example, the Times said partnerships controlled by Wen's relatives and their friends and colleagues held up to $2.2 billion in stock in Ping An Insurance (Group) Co of China Ltd in 2007, the last year those stock holdings were disclosed in public documents.
Wen's 90-year-old mother had one investment in Ping An that was worth $120 million five years ago, the newspaper said.
The Times said it presented its findings to the government for comment. The Foreign Ministry declined to respond. Members of Wen's family also declined to comment or did not respond to requests for comment, the Times said.
The private lives of Chinese leaders as well as their assets are kept under wraps, with personal details considered state secrets.
Still, cases against lower-level officials, often exposed by Chinese media, and reports on senior officials by Western and Hong Kong news organizations, underscore the extent to which those with power profit from their standing.
Occasionally, top officials are caught and prosecuted.
In the biggest political scandal in China in decades, now-disgraced senior party leader Bo Xilai, whose wife was convicted of corruption and murder in August, has been expelled from the party and stands accused of corruption, bribery and sexual promiscuity.
Bo was expelled from China's parliament on Friday and is expected to stand trial soon.
The extended family of Xi Jinping, current vice president who is expected to be named head of China's Communist Party next month and president of the country in March, has also amassed great wealth, according to an earlier news report.
Xi's relatives had investments in companies with assets of $375 million, and an 18 percent indirect stake in a company with $1.7 billion in assets, Bloomberg news reported in June.
Bloomberg's website has been blocked in China since that report was published, underscoring the sensitivity of the Party and government towards such revelations about top leaders.
In the case of Wen and his relatives, the names of family members "have been hidden behind layers of partnerships and investment vehicles involving friends, work colleagues and business partners", the New York Times said.
It said Wen's family's holdings include a villa development project in Beijing, a tire factory in northern China, a company involved in building some of the venues for Beijing's 2008 Olympics including the "Bird's Nest" main stadium, and Ping An Insurance, one of the world's largest financial services companies.
Wen's younger brother has a company that was awarded more than $30 million in government contracts and subsidies for waste water treatment and medical waste disposal in some of China's biggest cities, and controls $200 million in assets in a number of companies, the Times said, basing its estimate on government records.
The Chinese public has a fondness for Wen, who is often referred to as "Grandpa Wen" in the media, for his common touch with ordinary people, and for rushing to console victims of disasters, such as earthquakes and accidents.

Shawls and Wraps
Scottish, Irish, and Welsh tartan shawls, wraps, and serapes. Yes, we do know serapes are not of Scottish or Celtic origin, but they are popular in Scotland. They have been made and worn there for years, and they're a great way to show-off your tartan!
If it's a chilly evening wrap up in one of our tartan serapes and stay toasty warm! (Our neighbor keeps one at work in order to stay warm in her overly-air-conditioned cubical.) Our serapes are made to order in Scotland from 100% premium wool. Please allow 6-12 weeks for delivery.
Perfect to wrap up in on a cold day! Made in Scotland with a finished size of approximately 52'' X 52'' (medium weight wool) or 56'' X 56'' (lightweight wool) and available in on over 500 tartans. Our shawls are special order items so please allow 6-12 weeks for delivery.
Please enjoy our extensive online catalog of Tartan Fabrics, Highland Accessories, Kilt Accessories, Kilt Jackets, Kilt Clothing, and other quality Celtic products
