Google announced that they have extended Incognito mode to their Google Maps app. If the user turns on Incognito mode in Maps, their device won’t continue to record Maps activity. Locations you’ve searched for won’t be saved, and they won’t be used to personalize your experience in Maps. however, Incognito mode won’t make your location trackless. It can only block your location history from being recorded to your device. Google is also bringing an auto-delete option to YouTube. You’ll be able to set a period of 3 months, 18 months, etc to automatically delete your search history in YouTube.

CSIAC Report - Smart Cities, Smart Bases and Secure Cloud Architecture for Resiliency by Design

Integration of Smart City Technologies to create Smart Bases for DoD will require due diligence with respect to the security of the data produced by Internet of Things (IOT) and Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT). This will increase more so with the rollout of 5G and increased automation "at the edge". Commercially, data will be moving to the cloud first, and then stored for process improvement analysis by end-users. As such, implementation of Secure Cloud Architectures is a must. This report provides some use cases and a description of a risk based approach to cloud data security. Clear understanding, adaptation, and implementation of a secure cloud framework will provide the military the means to make progress in becoming a smart military.
