The Latest in IT Security

Asias largest tech trade show will be a battleground for smart innovations when it kicks off in Taiwan Tuesday — from car systems which warn when you are driving badly to a toothbrush-style camera that films the users teeth. More than 1,500 exhibitors, including some of the worlds leading technology brands, will set out their stalls at Computex, in the capital Taipei, with 130,000 visitors expected for the five-day event. This year sees the launch of a new SmarTech area featuring smart wearables, 3D printing, intelligent vehicle systems and security — a move which organisers say reflects the increasing role of smart technology at all levels of everyday life. Were looking to interest everybody, from ordinary people to government level, said Li Chang, deputy secretary general of the Taipei Computer Association, co-organisers of the show.
