Adobe unveils digital publishing suite

During the Adobe Max conference, Adobe introduced a hosted digital publishing suite, reports Fierce Content Management.

The package aims to provide a way for publishers to create 'unique digital publishing experiences' (such as those found on the iPad), find ways to monetise the content and analytics tools to measure how effective the approach is.

David Wadhwani, Adobe's senior vice-president and general manager for Creative and Interactive Solutions, says: "The publishing industry is reinventing itself and a new era of editorial and advertising innovation is upon us as publishers target new mobile hardware platforms.”

IBM has released software that helps clients automate content-centric processes and manage unstructured content such as scanned images and Web pages, states PR Newswire.

IBM Case Manager integrates content and process management with advanced analytics, business rules, collaboration and social software.

According to recent analyst reports, enterprise data growth over the next five years is estimated at 650% and 80% of this data will be unstructured generated from forms, Web content, and chat transcripts.

The self-styled 'Iranian Cyber Army', the group responsible for hacking attacks against TechCrunch, Twitter and Baidu, has moved beyond Web site defacements and is now using an exploit kit to build a massive botnet, says ZDnet.

According to research company Seculert, the group's fingerprints were found on a crime server hosting exploits against Oracle Sun's Java, Adobe PDF and various Microsoft software products.

Seculert chief technology officer Aviv Raff says the crime server is hosting a botnet of Windows machines: “There are currently over 400 000 confirmed loads; however, while tracking these numbers, our research team noticed that once in a while the counter got reset, which means that the actual number of infected machines should be much larger.”
