Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli's innings took his IPL total to 4,619 runs in 153 matches, putting him ahead of Suresh Raina of Chennai Super Kings on 4,558 Virat Kohli smashed 92 off 62 balls to become the highest run-scorer in Indian Premier League history but his efforts could not halt Royal Challengers Bangalore's slump in this year's tournament. Kohli's innings took his IPL total to 4,619 runs in 153 matches, putting him ahead of Suresh Raina of Chennai Super Kings on 4,558. His knock went in vain however as Bangalore went down to defending champions the Mumbai Indians by 46 runs on Tuesday. "I don't feel like wearing this (orange cap) right now because it really doesn't matter," said Kohli, [https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/bharatiya-cricketer-suresh-raina.html inborncricketer.blogspot.com] who is top of the IPL batting chart with 201 runs in four games this season. "We tried our hardest but couldn't get the breakthroughs," Kohli said on his team letting Mumbai score 213 after batting first. It was Bangalore's third loss in four matches. The 29-year-old Kohli has been with Bangalore since the IPL started in 2008, but has not won a single title in the cash-rich T20 league. The Kane Williamson-led Sunrisers Hyderabad -- a side that edged out Bangalore to win their maiden title in 2016 -- leads the points table with three wins from three games.

With 84 Raina Leads Gujarat To Upset IPL Win Over Kolkata

KOLKATA, India (AP) - Captain Suresh Raina rode his luck and nerve in scoring 84 as his Gujarat Lions surprisingly lowered the high-flying Kolkata Knight Riders by four wickets in the Indian Premier League on Friday. Kolkata, winner of four games in five, was the big home favorite against Gujarat, winner of only one game. But after winning the toss, Gujarat restricted Kolkata to a sub-par 187-5 and replied with a victorious 188-6 and 10 balls to spare. Aaron Finch launched Gujarat with 31 off 15 balls and, after a half-hour delay for drizzle, fellow opener Brendon McCullum smacked 33 off 17 balls. Raina took the anchor role, and watched Dinesh Karthik, Ishan Kishan, and Dwayne Smith all depart cheaply, so Gujarat was a shaky 122-5 in the 13th over. Raina even got a life on 15 when Yusuf Pathan dropped him on the boundary, giving the skipper a six. Ravindra Jadeja also got a reprieve when he was caught on the boundary but Suryakumar Yadav stepped on the rope, and another six was conceded. In the following over, the 17th, paceman Nathan Coulter-Nile was whacked for 16 runs, and Gujarat finally brought the win in sight. Raina couldn't see it out, though, as he was locked up by spinner Kuldeep Yadav and out for 84 off 46 balls, including nine boundaries and [https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/bharatiya-cricketer-suresh-raina.html inborncricketer.blogspot.com] four sixes. By then, eight runs were needed off 13 balls, and Gujarat wasted little time finishing its second win. Kolkata squandered another great start from opener Sunil Narine, who hit three boundaries off Praveen Kumar in the first over, four boundaries off James Faulkner in the second, and took 14 runs off Basil Thampi, yet another medium-pacer, in the third. Narine was finally out in the fourth, trying to pull Raina but hitting only to midwicket. His 42 off 17 balls, all of his scoring either fours or sixes, wasn't matched by a Kolkata teammate. Fellow opener Gautam Gambhir scored 33, and Robin Uthappa 72 after surviving a difficult chance on 6, but there was a feeling a bigger score was wasted after Narine's explosive start.

Data Security And Regulatory Illusions

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> There's something very backward about the way companies view data security today. While Congress and state legislatures debate which regulatory compliance laws to implement, we sit back, read the headlines about data breaches, and think, "Boy, that's going to cost that company a bundle in fines; thank goodness it wasn't us." The missing subtext here is that regulatory compliance, while important, is a reaction. Regulatory compliance plays an important role in data security. But the [/news/in-the-security-hot-seat/ heightened push for regulatory compliance] also reflects the willingness of corporations either to adopt or ignore best practices when it comes to data security. Customers aren't willing to do business with companies that don't make data security a priority. The [ Ponemon Institute] suggests that 20 percent of the customers of a company whose data has been breached discontinue their relationship, while another 40 percent consider cutting their ties. All because of a single mistake. Regulatory compliance does not guarantee the integrity of corporate data. Nor will it guarantee happy customers. That's why becoming compliant is only part of the battle. Regulatory compliance does not guarantee the integrity of corporate data. Nor will it guarantee happy customers. To be sure, there exist diverse threats, [https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/bharatiya-cricketer-suresh-raina.html https://inborncricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/bharatiya-cricketer-suresh-raina.html] including [/news/why-hackers-are-a-step-ahead-of-the-law/ Internet hackers], [/news/could-your-laptop-be-worth-millions/ stolen laptops], [/news/bank-of-america-loses-a-million-customer-records/ lost tapes], --and that's just a few. But there are plenty of great technologies, including encryption, that provide as close as possible to bulletproof security and privacy. The irony is that so many companies continue to drag their heels when it comes to using what's available to protect themselves. This wait-and-see attitude is in part an unintended by-product of compliance. Why implement a security and privacy solution until you know exactly what you'll need to satisfy Uncle Sam? There are several reasons offered up: Brand erosion, customer loyalty--even a company's very existence--are at stake. One breach can wipe out a going concern--regardless of how or if the government reacts. Yet most companies' eyes are focused solely on Washington, D.C., because of the complexity of a holistic compliance solution at every level. A survey of American companies by analyst firm Enterprise Strategy Group discovered that 60 percent of companies never encrypt data backed up to tape, despite the fact that many recent high-profile breaches involve the loss of backup tapes or disks (unencrypted, of course). No wonder more than 80 million Americans were victims of a security breach in 2005. The government's reaction to these breaches, in terms of fines and demands for greater regulation, generate headlines. But it was [/news/data-risk-and-consequences/ customers that put CardSystems out of business]. CardSystems, a credit card processor victimized by a security breach that [/news/credit-card-breach-exposes-40-million-accounts/ exposed the records of 40 million people] in May 2005, lost a major contract with Visa. By December of last year, the company was forced to shut its doors. Such fates can be avoided at a reasonable cost. According to Gartner, it costs $6 per customer to encrypt data. It costs $90 per customer to deal with a breach (which could have been rendered moot by encryption). In the CardSystems case, the perpetrators accessed networked data that was not encrypted. Had it been encrypted, CardSystems might well still be in business. In the case of stolen or lost records saved to tape or disk, encrypting the data would have rendered the records useless to thieves. Management should worry more about protecting customers than simply appeasing regulators. The focus on regulatory compliance clearly is important. But equal effort should be invested in making the data secure as well. [#comments Comments] [/topics/security/ Notification on Notification off Security]
