“ISO/IEC 27018:2014 establishes commonly accepted control objectives, controls and guidelines for implementing measures to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in accordance with the privacy principles in ISO/IEC 29100 for the public cloud computing environment.”

Azure is the first cloud platform which adopted the  ISO 27018 set of privacy controls. Office 365, Dynamics CRM Online and Microsoft Intune have also adopted the standard for protecting customer’s privacy. There are defined regulations for transmitting data over public networks, data storage and strict processes for data recovery.

Raspberry PI Foundation revealed a new version of the Pi with a microcomputer which is six times stronger than its predecessor; the new Pi costs only 35 dollars. The Raspberry Pi 2 Model B has ARMv7 quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM. The USB, Ethernet, A/V, HDMI, micro SD and micro USB connectors are in the same locations as on the PI model B+. The new board will be supported by Windows 10 which will be free for all Raspberry Pi users. With this move Microsoft wanted to expand their Internet of Things program; there will be more details about Windows 10 plans for IoT in the coming months.
