New Portal of the Brazilian Public Software streamlines the use of … – News Portal of the Federal Senate

The Brazilian Public Software Portal is a public organ systems sharing space, but not only the Executive, although it is managed by the Ministry of Planning, and not only at the federal level. It is a simple and easy to use platform, which already has 83 systems geared to the needs of managers, entrepreneurs, teachers, students and citizens.

This is the picture of what has been developed by dozens of actors, explains the Secretary of Technology Ministry of Planning Information, Cristiano Heckert. The result of this work – a partnership between the Ministry, the University of Brasilia (UNB) and the Interlegis Program – is economy, flexibility and transparency, ensures Heckert

-. We are not starting scratch, the collaborative spirit that we have identified the Collab [virtual environment Interlegis program in which communities of practice relate] was very important and decided to bring it – said the secretary. He cites the Collab initiatives with content management and mailing lists as an example.

The construction of the Brazilian Public Software Portal (SPB) follows this community system, which includes users and developers. Any body can make use of the available solutions and, thus, avoid investing in something that already exists. The software is divided into categories such as economy, health, education, administration, communications, energy and sanitation.

The Ministry develops the Portal since 2013 and together with the UNB has incorporated innovations. Until then, the focus was on the development environment, according to Heckert. Late last year, the new version, more advanced, was made available to all users and has aroused interest even outside of Brazil

-. Now, we are encouraging agencies to register in the system, which has today nearly five thousand active users, including government officials, academia, businesses and ordinary citizens – Heckert said

the SPB has several features, such as software catalog with search, page for each community lists. discussion, news, hit counter, collaborative development environment, space to report the use of software, benefiting people and resources saved, among others.

Examples economy

the solutions being developed and shared in SPB – as in Interlegis program, only this one is geared primarily to the legislature – represent savings resources often difficult to measure. But Heckert cites an example: only the Ministry of Agriculture failed to spend $ 6 million with a solution that would develop, but found the Portal. And only federal agencies, are 200 registered in the SPB.

Another example came from Santa Catarina, where a city had developed a school management system (grades, attendance, enrollment, distribution of students and teachers) that available, was adopted by the Government of the Federal District, 650 schools with nearly 450,000 students. Only in Brasilia, there was a savings of $ 91 million.

As such, there are several others, such as the system for daily control and passes the government or municipal government, or the electronic information system, we want to end the processing of paper. Most of them are focused on process efficiency and management and can be found and adopted by any public institution.

According to him, these innovations are available and attracted the attention of several countries. The Electronic Government of Latin America and the Caribbean is a group that you want to use the system, and other South American countries individually, such as Chile and Argentina, or even outside the continent.

The Coordination of Information Technology Interlegis informs you want, as soon as possible, incorporate into their environment the major improvements produced by the Ministry of Planning and the UNB in ​​the original Collab software.

the earlier can already download from this Thursday ( 25), the PIT 2016 necessary for the composition of the declaration of income tax in 2016, and the Receitanet 2016 , responsible for transmitting the document. The IRS has released the download of the software through its official website, with versions for Windows, Linux Mac and Solaris.

in addition to these, the Lion also promises the launch of an issue of applications for phones and tablets, which has not yet been released. For computers, are two downloads required – the PIT in 2016, used to fill the necessary data and make the statement; and Receitanet, which is responsible for forwarding the document to the body.

Software for previous years do not work, and, as always, you must install the latest version. Depending on the taxpayer needs, additional programs can also be used to fill special information, such as Carnet-Lion software, Rural Activity and Capital Gains in Brazil or in foreign currency. All are also available on the IRS website.

The statements can be filled already, of course, but can only be transmitted from March 1. After the date, the term extends until April 29, which is the final day for transmission of income tax returns to the IRS. The ideal, however, is not to leave things to the last minute and do as soon as possible, since the Lion’s domain, notoriously, is unstable at times of high demand, which may hamper the delivery of documents on the deadline.

Volkswagen promises trading software that fraud legislation … – CenárioMT

The Director of Government Affairs of Volkswagen Brazil, Antonio Megale engineer, spoke to the CPI of Cybercrime on Thursday (25). He acknowledged the existence of software in the cars of the brand that identifies the vehicles are being tested and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This control is turned off in normal shooting situations, causing polluting cars beyond the level required in environmental legislation around the world.

The software is only installed on diesel cars. In Brazil, a single model, the Amarok pickup truck produced in Argentina and marketed between 2011 and 2012, has the defect. Are 17,057 cars that must pass a recall this semester for the exchange of software.

The Volkswagen came to be fined by IBAMA, but appealed the fine. The company’s engineer Antonio Megale said tests concluded that greenhouse gas emissions in these cars meet the limits of Brazilian legislation.

“We have already shown Ibama the results of numerous tests we did in Brazil and Germany where we show that at no time the emission limits have been exceeded, but still is within our program the installation of a new software that is in the final certification phase through a recall campaign, without prejudice to any customer . “

Lack of punishment

 Mr JHC (PSB-AL), author of the request for hearing, said that cybercrime can happen online or offline. The existence of software that swindle the law, he said, is cause for concern. He complained about the delay in replacing the program and criticized the fact that the company even has paid the fine.

Gustavo Lima / House of Representatives Mr JHC: we need to protect law and punish companies
 

“Brazil is still very lenient with these things if we compare it with what happened in other countries and what we adopt. What was the exemplary measure, which was the lesson, what was in relation to this case? Even to serve as an example for future devices that may appear, because that there can be one of the first of so many other cases that may arise in the world, “said the deputy.” My concern is to protect the Brazilian legislation to punish those who eventually try to use this same medium, “JHC added.

Apple CEO accuses FBI: they asked us to create “software … – Express

Apple’s CEO criticized late on Wednesday (early on Thursday in Portugal) the fact that only have known “by the media” the requirement FBI for your company crisis as a “back door” that give them access to encrypted data on iPhones. In his first public interview since rejected that requirement, even promised to fight it in court.

“I do not think that we should manage it that way,” said Tim Cook in an interview with ABC, broadcast on American television . “I do not think that such an important thing for the country as it should be managed in this way,” he said.

close to the investigation Source of US agency denies this version, saying the same channel that “just it is not true, “and ensuring that Apple’s legal team was” the first to know “the FBI’s willingness to unlock the iPhone Syed Rizwan Farook, the Pakistani descent of American who, in December, killed 14 people shot in San Bernardino , declaring himself a sympathizer of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (Daesh).

according to “the New York Times,” Apple is already working to strengthen the security of their devices, making it harder attacks hackers. The paper says that these improvements to be implemented in the new iPhone models, will “make it impossible” that Apple help US authorities to create what Cook calls the “back door” – an “equivalent software to cancer “that opens a” serious precedent “and that puts at risk the safety and privacy of any Apple user.

There are three days,” National Public Radio “advanced that on 70 different occasions in the past,” there were situations “equal to that, a week ago, opened this war between Apple and the US Department of Justice, and that, in all of them, the company” decided to accept the court order “to allow the government access to encrypted data on iPhones. The guarantee was left by Susan Hennessey, a lawyer who worked at the National Security Agency (NSA) who now works at the Brookings Institute. According to the expert, the security of Apple devices circumvented by the company was made public at a court hearing in October.

Also earlier this week, the US media reported that half of the US population supports the FBI against Apple in this case. A poll by the Pew Research Center, conducted immediately after the fight vs. Apple Government was made public last week, shows that 51% of Americans support the requirements of the government and 38% is on the side of the technology company. On the contrary, he points to “Fortune” magazine, most cyber users who have spoken about it defends the attitude of Apple.

In response to the refusal of Tim Cook to create a software to circumvent the encryption data iPhone Farook, the government accused the company of being more interested than marketing to combat terrorism. In response to these accusations, the San Bernardino Police Department blamed the FBI for the disappearance of device data – saying that, in the shooting aftermath of this California county, the federal agency demanded a technical police to do reset the password iCloud Farook.

under the Apple security measures, the company began to implement in the iPhone after the first reports of massive and illegal surveillance of citizens by the NSA made by Edward Snowden in 2013, when they fail ten attempts password in the process, the encrypted data is deleted from the device.
