In January, Microsoft discontinued support for Windows mobile devices, but many businesses continue to use them. We chat with Kevin Lollock from Zebra Technologies about the risks of using unsupported devices, how businesses can create a long-term mobile strategy, and what their next step should be to move from Windows.

Nothing intrigues the guys more than a purely clickbate story. However, this one seems to spark an interest among us. The rumor is that AT&T is setting up for DC Comics to be sold to Marvel Comics. Now, the story has no facts to support this theory, only speculation with fragments they've heard and read about. Aside from that, the guys talk about Super Tuesday and that everyone needs to calm the fuck down about the Coronavirus. Like seriously. They talk about the creator of the Konami code passing, Xbox Series X news, and someone at the Vatican saw The Terminator. That and a bit more on this week's show.

So the buzz about the Common Data Service (CDS) has reached a deafening stage. It is the most exciting thing that has come out of the Microsoft Business Applications group in a decade. The possibilities jumped into the category of "endless". So how do you start with something that is endless? Quick Primer I previously wrote about the Common Data Service here, but let's have a quick primer for this conversation. The Common Data Service (CDS) is basically a database that runs under your applications. You can have many applications running on a single CDS, all sharing the underlying data. That is pretty cool. What are these applications? Well, the list is growing, but includes things like Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement Applications, as well as Custom built PowerApps applications. Also, some other apps managed to get stood up on CDS, like Microsoft Forms Pro for example. Via connectors, you can also consume data from over 250 other sources into your CDS environment. Strategies We have what could appear to be an irony here. For the last several years, we partners have been on a mission to eliminate data silos. All of these multiple applications in use with our customers, that not only create similar data in different places, but usually don't talk to each other. There's been a whole lot of copying and pasting going on, which is not only a pain in the ass, but is inherently error-prone. It is not uncommon for an employee to have five applications open to do their jobs, and that's just silly. Part of our mission to date with Dynamics 365 has been to consolidate as many of these disparate applications into a single place. A noble goal to be sure, and a message that has resonated strongly with many customers, who suddenly found themselves sitting on a house of cards. The idea of a "Common" Data Service seems to solve all of that. But Microsoft recently announced some licensing changes, and one of the changes was that you can have as many CDS environments, as you have storage capacity to support. Wait a minute. Are we now promoting silos again? Not Common Think about a restaurant that promotes the "Best Burger in the World"... I want that. You go to get "it" and it's available in 20 variations. So wait a minute, is it the best burger, or the 20 best burgers? You ask the cook which one is the "Best burger", and he says, "it depends on what you like on it, but the beef patty, that they all come with is the best grade beef available". I ask if I can have all of the 20 variations of toppings on one burger... he frowns. But how awesome would that be? One awesome patty, with everything on top of it! Why would I want more than one? Well... maybe because peanut butter and barbecue sauce, while I like them both, don't taste good together? So let's see how I relate this scenario to CDS. Gaining Footing So CDS has been out long enough now for many of us to wrap our heads around it, at least enough to be able to explain it to customers. Now, many of us are actively deploying solutions built on CDS, and we are starting to see the scenarios forming. Scenarios that we had not necessarily contemplated before. For example, I am now being asked questions, that never were questions before like, "For this other department, should we add them to our existing CDS environment, or create a new one?" My knee-jerk response, having been a trained silo-buster, was "add them to the existing environment, or course". But is that always the correct answer? And it if was, then why is Microsoft offering them as many CDS environments as they want? Shared Data Back in the old days, if you wanted two different departments working in Dynamics 365, that did not share any data, you might have used Business Units. Or, sometimes a second production instance was used, but that had a cost. Today, you can have as many environments as your storage will support, so does that change the thought process? Today, my position on this is based on whether there is shared data. If these two departments will be sharing Accounts for example, then my recommendation would be to create a new app for department #2, specific for their needs, but add it to the existing environment. We certainly don't want to have two separate Account tables to deal with. This is the silo busting approach that we have been working towards for years now. So When? When might it make sense to create a separate environment? In my opinion, it is when the users are not sharing any data. This is a frequent occurrence in enterprise organizations in particular. Rarely have I seen HR for example, use any of the data that Sales does. In this scenario, I would take Microsoft up on their offer and spin up a separate environment. Could I accomplish this in a single environment? Yes, but it could get messy, and there is no upside any more. It is hard to completely isolate two apps from each other on the same environment. Changes to one, could potentially impact the other, if you are not paying close attention. Data segregation strategies can also get complex to maintain. Fiddle with a workflow condition for App A, and all of the sudden the records in the App B are doing weird things, if you aren't on your toes. There are a lot of ways to get in trouble if you are not right on top of it... and why bother? Licensing? On the licensing side there seems to be some confusion also, which is not unexpected. Let's say you have a sales team using the D365 Enterprise Sales app, they also have rights to PowerApps. Let's say a part of that team is focused on Lead Generation only, and not Opportunities. Clearly they will share some data, but they have different roles in the process. You can build another app on the same environment targeted to them, and they are already licensed to use it. But let's say H.R. pops up with a need for an app, and they won't be sharing any common data with sales. If those users also have a D365 Sales license, you can spin up an entirely separate environment for them and they can use that. Better yet, if H.R. does not need any of the sales related entities at all, those users could get by with PowerApps P2 licenses and save some money. However those PowerApps licensed users could not use the Sales App. There... that should be clear. Okay, I know it is not clear. Licensing is a tricky thing to navigate, but it is important to understand what licenses you need for what you are doing, or you could easily "over-license". Meaning you bought a license that allows for a lot more than what you need, and so you are paying more than you need to. I have found that Microsoft Support is often clueless to the nuances of licensing, and Microsoft Sellers are motivated to sell the most expensive licenses. Even partners struggle with this one sometimes, so it is definitely not something to figure out on your own. Your best bet is a "licensing knowledgeable" partner, which is also a rare find. I am sure there are other opinions and CDS strategies being used, let me hear yours in the comments.

Based in Norway, Per Thorsheim is an independent security adviser for organizations and government. He is also the founder of PasswordsCon.org, a conference that’s all about passwords, PIN codes, and authentication. Launched in 2010, the conference is a gathering security professionals & academic researchers worldwide to better understand and improve security worldwide. In part one of our conversation, Per explains - despite the risks - why we continue to use passwords, the difference between 2-factor authentication and 2-step verification, as well as the pros and cons of using OAuth. Naturally the issue of privacy comes up when we discuss connected accounts with OAuth. So we also made time to cover Privacy by Design as well as the upcoming EU General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR). Transcript Cindy Ng Recently, I had the pleasure to speak with an independent security advisor, Per Thorsheim, on all things passwords. Based in Norway, he is the founder of Passwords Con, the world's first and only conference about passwords. It's a gathering of security professionals and academic researches from all around the world where they discuss ways to improve security worldwide. Thank you, Per. Let's get started. So, a very important question, so, lots of security experts have warned us the dangers of passwords, but why are we continuing to use it? Per Thorsheim Well, it's cheap to use from a business perspective. There are many cases where we don't have a business situation where, you know, there's no point in using anything else than passwords. They are available in every single system we use, and if you want something else, it's going to be more expensive. And who's going to pay for that? Cindy Ng A lot of people are using password managers to manage all our different accounts for all our different sites. And there’s also two-factor authentication which can be tiresome. You suggested that there's life after two-factor authentication. Can you tell us a little bit more about that? Per Thorsheim Yeah, you know, we have National Security Awareness month here in Norway, just like in the US, in all of October. And a very important message that we have been bringing out in all possible channels over the past month is to use two-factor authentication. And basically what that is, is that in addition to having a username and password, you would have a code that you need to enter that you will get from a key from a text message or something similar. Maybe you have a couple of codes written down on a piece of paper that you have to type in, in addition to your password. That's two-factor authentication. Now, what I mean about life after two-factor authentication is that every step that we add into the process of authenticating, you know, how to figure out that you are the correct person logging into our system, takes time. And by adding a second factor, it will take you, in most cases, a little bit extra time to be able to log in. For some people, that's okay. For some people, it's a disruption. It's annoying, and what I've been thinking about, you know, by saying, "life after two-factor authentication," is, "What happens today when, in my case, I have, like, 400 accounts on different services all over the internet and at home and at different, you know, banks and insurance companies and so on? What happens today that I'm actually using two-factor authentication with all of those accounts?" I'm just imagining to myself that that's going to be very annoying. It's going to take a lot of time. Every time I have to log in to any kind of service, I have to type in username, I have to type in my password or pass phrase, and then I also have to look at my phone to receive a text message or find you know, that dumb piece of hardware dongle that I forgot at home, probably, and type in a code from that one as well. So from a usability perspective, I'm a little bit concerned, maybe even a little worried about what's the world going to be in a couple years when all the services that I'm using today are either offering or even requiring me to use two-factor authentication? Now, from a security perspective, adding this kind of two-factor authentication's a good thing. It increases security in such a way that in some cases, even if I told you my password for my Facebook account, as an example, well, I have two-factor authentication. You won't be able to log in, because as soon as you type in my username and password, I will be receiving a code via SMS from Facebook on my phone, which you don't have access to. Now, without that code, you will not be able to log in to my account. The security perspective of this is really good which is why we recommend it. From the usability side, I'm a little bit concerned about the future. Cindy Ng What's the difference between the two-factor authentication and the two-step authentication, in terms of increasing usability? Per Thorsheim Two-step verification process is what I consider to be a good trade-off between good security and good usability. With two-step verification, which is what Facebook and Twitter and Google does in most cases, is that you will do the initial setup process of your account and an initial setup of your two-factor authentication procedure, like, once, to log in, using the Facebook app on your phone, on your iPad. Maybe you're using the browser on your computer. And you do this authentication with username, password, and entering the additional code once per device or per app that you're using or maybe for each and every single web browser on different computers that you may be using. And as soon as you've done that, Facebook will remember the different browsers and apps you have used, and then, you know, they are already pre-approved. So then next time you log in, you only type in your username and password, which reduces complexity and time for you. But still they remember your browser, so they see that, "Oh, yep, that's Per logging in from a browser that he had already used before, so we know that this browser probably belongs to Per. And as long as the username and password is correct, he gets access to his Facebook account." The two-factor authentication process, I would have to enter that additional code every single time I log on, and that's the difference between the two-step verification and the two-factor authentication. Cindy Ng What if I decide to delete my cookies? Per Thorsheim Well, then it's all gone. Then you have to do the setup process again, and this applicable to when you're using your web browser. But if you are using the official Facebook app for iOS or for Android, as an example, these features are built into the application. In that setting, it's not just a standard cookie. There's a little bit different security built into the app. But, of course, you can do this on the app as well to basically delete your cookie. Cindy Ng You would essentially have to do a risk analysis on yourself to figure out what the trade-off is in that regard. Per Thorsheim Yeah, absolutely. You know, when I go traveling abroad, I go to many different countries, and some of them may be, well, should I say, a little less democratic and a little more hostile, perhaps, than others. So I do my personal risk analysis on wherever I go, do I need a strong PIN code? Do I need a strong password? Should I be using two-factor authentication? And this is a risk analysis, and it's also trade-off for the usability. I'm just like, I guess, everybody. I want security to be good, but I'm not willing to sacrifice too much of the usability in order to keep up good security, because then I will probably stop using the service if I'm forced to be compliant with all kinds of security requirements all the time, when there's, you know, from my perspective, no point in doing so. Cindy Ng Let's also talk about other security options, such as O-auth. Tell us a little bit more about the pros and cons of using that as an option to log in. Per Thorsheim Well, it solves many problems, especially in terms of usability. I can go to an online store here in Norway, and I'll want to purchase myself a new computer, or maybe I would like to order tickets to the movie theater to go with somebody to watch a movie, as an example. And instead of having to sign up for an account, I can use what we call a social login, where they are using O-auth in the background, and you basically sign up using your Facebook account. Now, this is, from a usability perspective, it's very easy to do. The privacy concerns about this is the fact that Facebook will be getting access to information like you went to the movie theater, and they will maybe be able to find out which movie you actually went to see and how many tickets you've purchased. I don't know. Maybe they can. And the movie theater, they will also get information from Facebook about me, who I am, my age, my gender, maybe some other pieces of information as well. And in my opinion, the movie theater shouldn't be asking me, you know, who I am or anything. You know, I want to see a movie. I'm not going to make any trouble for them, and I'm going to pay for the tickets, and that's it. There are lots of privacy concerns about this, at least from my perspective. And I am a little bit concerned that most people, they don't really realize how much information they actually give away about themselves when they are using this kind of authentication to all kinds of services around. Cindy Ng You're really speaking to data minimalization, which is part of the "Privacy by Design" guideposts, to collect what you really need, not collect every single thing. When you go see the movies, they don't need to know every single friend that you have on Facebook, for instance. Per Thorsheim Yeah, and, of course, from science modeling perspectives, I can see that they actually have an interest in knowing this about you. But, you know, the movie theater, they don't give me a discount when I provide lots of personal information about myself, compared to those who just purchase a ticket and pay in cash. And they remain completely anonymous, so to speak, for the movie theater, while I'm paying the same price, but at the same time I also give them information about my age, address and phone number, email address, gender, a lot of pieces of information as well. In one way, I would say that, well, if they would give me a discount, maybe I would be interested in giving away more personal information about myself. It's going to be interesting when the GDPR actually comes into law. I still do have my concerns about GDPR. I mean, it's a EU law, so that will be implemented in different countries in the EU and also in Norway. I mean, we are actually not actually a member of the European Union, but still the GDPR will be put into our laws and regulations as well. And the most important aspect of GDPR, in my opinion, is that if you are a service provider of any type, and you suffer a data breach of personally identifiable information about, you know, users, especially if that information is sensitive - that is, regarding sexuality, health, criminal records, political activity, religious activity, membership in worker unions, as an example - the GDPR says that the company or organization in question can get a fine up to 4% of their total global yearly revenue. And, you know, you look at the numbers of Apple and Microsoft and Google, of how much revenue they make in a full year, and then, you know, 4% of that amount is going to be the maximum fine for one single data breach. That's a lot of money. Today, data breach laws here in Norway, as an example, will give you a fine so small that anybody can pay it without any problems at all. So this is a game-changing regulation that is coming into law for the European Union. How it will be interpreted in courts, and how big those fines will actually be, that is going to be very interesting to see from starting in somewhere in 2018. Cindy Ng Yeah, it'll be a challenge to see how they can enforce it when US companies do business in Norway or any of the EU countries. Per Thorsheim Well, absolutely. I mean, there have been attempts to set up agreements between European Union and the US, as an example, for Cloud services from Google, from Apple, from Microsoft and so on that will regulate how US companies are to handle data about European citizens and also whether the US government can get access to that data or not. And these are, as far as I know, still ongoing discussions, of course, but there are also laws and regulations and agreements already in place on this. That applies, again, to how US companies are handling data about European citizens stored on computers in Europe. Cindy Ng Let's talk about hardware. What do you think about things like the YubiKey and the RSA Tokens. How effective is having hardware in... Per Thorsheim Well, from the risk analysis perspective, it's a good thing. If I give you an app that you will use on your phone that will provide you with codes that you need to log in, somebody would either have to steal your phone. They could eventually trick you, talk you into giving them the code from your app by, you know, calling you and say, "Hey, this is from Microsoft Support in India, and we are calling to make you aware that you have some problems with your account. We need to verify your account by having you read up the present token number that you have on your phone at the moment." But, in general, from a risk analysis perspective, having a hardware token is good thing, security-wise. And it's much better than using just an app or receiving a text message by SMS, because an app is a piece of software that may have vulnerabilities, and SMS messages are also being sent, essentially, in the glare. And we know from assessing vulnerabilities in the worldwide user networks that they can be interrupted, and they can also be sent through hostile servers, where an adversary can read them in plain text and then get access to your account. If you have a handheld device, maybe with a, you know, small screen and doesn't have any connectivity at all, it just generates a new code every 30 seconds or 1 minute or 5 minutes, like RSA Secure ID. It's much harder for an attacker to get access to those codes. They would either have to trick you, or they would have to steal comments in that physical token from you. Cindy Ng It's interesting how social engineering can happen with hardware that's supposed to protect us too.
