Britannica social studies platform promotes critical thinking, is more engaging with Pear Deck activities tied to subject content

CHICAGO (PRWEB) DECEMBER 03, 2019
Britannica Digital Learning, in partnership with the popular education platform Pear Deck, has introduced a raft of new interactive activities to its popular LaunchPacks social studies platform to enhance the student learning experience and promote critical thinking and inquiry skills.
The new LaunchPacks assets include engaging, interactive Pear Deck presentations that support subject content and provide formative assessment opportunities. With extensive coverage of history and social studies topics with content packets of rich, trusted, and curriculum-aligned material, LaunchPacks provides activities for teachers that make teaching and lesson planning easier and more efficient. To the articles, images, and primary source material in LaunchPacks, Britannica has added interactive Pear Deck activities that stimulate students' curiosity and provide another point of entry into the subject matter.
Several types of Pear Deck interactive questions are included in each presentation, providing an engaging activity for students. Some have multiple-choice questions, others call for students to write short answers, respond by drawing on the screen, or complete drag-and-drop exercises.
Teachers can use the Pear Deck activities as is or customize them, edit and add new slides and make them more interactive using the Pear Deck Add-on for Google Slides. They present slide shows to the class, and the students join the session from their own devices. As they progress through a series of interactive slides, teachers can monitor students' responses to the exercises. In this way the program stimulates students' curiosity about the topic while giving teachers a real-time insight into student understanding they can use to provide individualized instruction.
Pear Deck's instructional supports are an ideal fit for LaunchPacks and help the product better fulfill its educational mission, according to Karthik Krishnan (@KarthikOnTheGo), global CEO of the Britannica Group.
"Pear Deck is a popular tool with teachers, so we're confident this new feature will be widely embraced," said Krishnan. "Teachers can use the activities to get students thinking about the content, engaging with the materials in LaunchPacks, and then reflecting on what they've learned individually and as a class. Teachers and students will both find this to be a big asset."
"Teaching that draws out excellence from every type of learner is really hard, so we're always thinking about new ways to give teachers simple but instructionally effective resources to do that," said Pear Deck Chief Educator Michal Eynon-Lynch. "This is a compelling partnership because Britannica has an incredible legacy as a trusted, go-to resource, and pairing that with engaging in-class instruction is a powerful combination."
Pear Deck activities for grades 6-8 are now available to schools using the U.S. version of Britannica LaunchPacks Social Studies. The company says it plans to double the number of content packets containing Pear Decks lessons in the next two months.
For more information, watch the LaunchPacks/Pear Deck video.

As the streaming wars intensify, Brentwood Search is providing a vital component by recruiting key strategic executives for the entertainment and digital media industries.

EL SEGUNDO, CALIF. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 03, 2019
Brentwood Search has been assisting entertainment companies in recruiting key strategic executives for the forthcoming streaming wars. This is where key media companies will be competing to capture the consumer dollar for subscriptions to the new content streaming sites that are beginning to emerge.
"I would consider this a new era in the entertainment industry," said Brentwood Search Managing Partner, Marcia Basichis. This is the time when media is transitioning from broadcast television and cable TV to the digital streaming format. To be successful, competing companies are scrambling for massive content and the executives who can determine how to make that content and where to find it. Finding it, in many cases, will be a result of mergers and acquisitions. Larger companies will partner or acquire the smaller content providers in what should be a robust time for production.
At Brentwood Search, we work with our media clients to recruit the strategy and corporate development executives personnel who are first rate at sourcing content and initiating mergers and acquisitions," said Basichis. " As a former television development executive, with several hit shows to my credit, I am in a unique position as I have depth of expertise in content acquisition and in the financial and strategic channels as well. I can find the people how will not only generate immediate profitability, during this industrial transition to streaming, but will show profit in the future as well as this industry channel continues to evolve.
Basichis mentioned that general belief in the industry is that consumers will subscribe to at most four streaming sites. She noted that to compete for one of those four subscriptions services like Amazon Prime and Verizon are seeking product tie-in's, while other companies will be cutting subscription rates.
"There is little doubt we are looking at further consolidation of the industry," said Basichis. "However, after last year's acquisitions most of the mega deals are over. It is now incumbent to source content from the smaller specialty libraries. To be successful, it is not enough for a company to just buy what's available. It is vital to staff executives who are creative and savvy, who can determine which acquisitions make sense and what content will have value in perpetuity.
"Strategy is critical," said Basichis. "And finding these sharp-eyed executives isn't easy, given the competition. Should a business hire the wrong personnel, that company can find themselves falling behind its competitors. The way things are going, if a company loses the streaming wars, then its very existence could well be at stake."
About: Brentwood Search is an El Segundo based retained recruiting services firm specializing in private equity, venture capital, finance, entertainment, technology, and the digital media and energy sectors. Its clients include Fortune 500 companies as well as middle market and startup entities through California and nationally. For more information, go to http://www.brentwoodsearch.com

Wootric offers a sweet spot of consultation, unparalleled text and sentiment analytics, and high-response microsurvey feedback collection that leverages our customers' existing systems such as Salesforce.

Mobile and Under-Desk Options Provide Easy CPU Access

CHICAGO (PRWEB) DECEMBER 04, 2019
Tripp Lite, a global manufacturer of power protection and connectivity solutions, offers new CPU mounts to maximize space in computer workstations.
The mounts offer a better alternative to placing a CPU, small uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or other office peripheral on the floor where it can be damaged. A new mobile caddy (DCPU2) allows the CPU to be rolled under a desk, yet keeps it easily accessible. An under-desk mount (DCPUSWIV) attaches to the underside of a desk. Users can slide the CPU out from under the desk and swivel it ±180° for easy access to ports, cables and switches. Both mounts are adjustable to fit a large variety of CPU towers.
"Relocating a CPU from the desktop is a simple way to maximize space at home or in the office," said Karenann Brow, Director of Product Marketing for Surge, Power Strips and Display Mounts. "Tripp Lite's new mounts keep CPUs off the floor and allow them to be conveniently positioned for plugging in peripherals or checking connections."
Key Features of Tripp Lite's New CPU Mounts

Adjustable width accommodates most tower CPUs

Open frames provide convenient access to CPU ports and cables

Durable metal construction

Mobile caddy with rolling casters for smooth movement

Under-desk mount with slide track and ±180° swivel for easy port access

5-year limited warranty

Program encourages an open and collaborative approach to scaling network security through resource sharing and proven interoperability

OTTAWA (PRWEB) DECEMBER 04, 2019
Corsa Security, leaders in scaling network security, has launched a Network Security Ecosystem program to foster an open and collaborative approach between like-minded organizations, and to ensure customers get the best support for their deployment. The cornerstone of the program is the assurance customers get that key security functions have been integrated, tested and certified to work with the Corsa turnkey network security virtualization platform. The Network Security Ecosystem also includes different partnership types for resellers, industry associations, and providers of IT and managed security services. Initial partners that are part of the program include industry leaders like Fortinet, Palo Alto Neworks, Symantec, Intel, and Open Cybersecurity Alliance.
"At Corsa Security, we recognize that the world of network security covers many elements and continues to expand," explains Eduardo Cervantes, CEO and Board Chair, Corsa Security. "Our approach to scaling network security is open, collaborative and vendor agnostic.

That's why we've developed - and will continue to grow - our Network Security Ecosystem program. We want our customers to rest assured that a best in breed approach will deliver what they need without compromise."
The program provides different partnership levels for organizations depending on their role within the network security market:

Corsa Certified encompasses technical partnerships and alliances with security companies that provide key functions like next generation firewalls (NGFWs), SSL visbility, intrustion prevention and more which have been integrated and certified to work on the Corsa platform.

Corsa Channel includes leading value-added resellers (VARs) and distributors who are trained to deliver and support the Corsa platform, making it accessible in a range of locations and markets.

Corsa Associate represents IT providers and consultants who may recommend the Corsa platform to support their customers with challenges such as the SSL Inspection gap or scaling their firewall.

Corsa Secured is comprised of cloud and managed security service providers (MSSPs) who leverage the Corsa platform to better protect their customers' networks.

Corsa Unite is made up of alliances with industry organizations to develop better security solutions and share resources and information.

CSCMP endorses FourKites certification as part of its continuing education program

CHICAGO (PRWEB) DECEMBER 04, 2019
FourKites, the pioneer in predictive supply chain visibility, today announced a unique continuing education platform that encourages ongoing learning in visibility-related topics for shippers. With a goal of helping their partners and customers maximize the value of supply chain visibility, FourKites is investing in the logistics community by helping to build technical competencies through a culture of learning. The FourKites learning platform for shippers will be followed in early 2020 by two new platforms designed specifically for carriers and 3PLs.
The Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) will count FourKites learning platform classes and certification as part of its continuing education requirements for its own certification process. "Today's logistics and supply chain management professionals must always be learning, as our discipline is continually growing, evolving and taking advantage of the opportunities and tools that are developed," said Rick Blasgen, President and CEO of CSCMP. "CSCMP is the premier association for this discipline, and it is our obligation to keep abreast of the latest in our field. We will always bring the best education to our members, and we're proud to partner with FourKites to bring that education to more supply chain professionals."
Based on MIT's method of modular, active learning, the self-paced courses will explore FourKites' platform in depth, teaching participants the ins and outs of load tracking, integrations, visibility best practices and tools for success, including notification rules and analytics dashboards. Participants can take only those classes they are interested in, or they can complete four of the six modules to earn FourKites Certification.
"Collaboration is the next frontier in supply chain management, and a robust community is vital to facilitating productive collaboration. This new online certification program is open to anyone in the FourKites community who wants to be on the cutting edge of innovation," said FourKites COO Stephanie Kolaczynski. "By better understanding the FourKites platform and the value of interconnectivity, both within and outside their organization, FourKites-certified logistics professionals can optimize their end-to-end supply chain."
Since launching five years ago, FourKites has pioneered the industry shift to real-time visibility, enabling shippers to improve on-time delivery and orchestrate their supply chains based on actionable data and predictive intelligence. With a network that now includes more than 380 of the world's top shippers, including 18 of the top-20 food and beverage companies and nine of the top-10 CPG companies, FourKites tracks more than 600,000 shipments every day.

New 30 Under 30 Honorees See Expanded Investment in Leadership Development Across the Enterprise for 2020 and Beyond

BOSTON (PRWEB) DECEMBER 04, 2019
Global media giant Forbes has announced that Will Guillaume Foussier and Layla Lynn, cofounders of AceUp, provider of technology-enabled, one-on-one executive coaching, have been named to the 2020 class of Forbes 30 Under 30, the annual list chronicling the brashest entrepreneurs across the United States and Canada. Foussier and Lynn have been selected to the Enterprise Technology category for their innovative approach to executive coaching that Boston-based AceUp brings to the training and professional development market.
Given that Forbes' theme for this year's 30 Under 30 in Enterprise Technology is the future of work, it's no coincidence that AceUp has found a home in this category. Foussier and Lynn are laser-focused on enabling the next generation of leaders to thrive in an environment of constant change. "Layla and I agree with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt's assertion that 'Everybody needs a coach,' said AceUp CEO Will Foussier. "But we take this one step further and deeply believe that everyone deserves a coach. Coaching made all the difference for me in my own professional development, so we are working to extend that tremendous benefit to employees at all levels of the organization and at all stages of their careers."
Foussier and Lynn launched AceUp in anticipation of the growing demand for leadership development among the rapidly rising Millennial and Gen Z populations, which will comprise at least 70 percent of the workforce by 2025. Their numbers are swelling at a time when executive leadership is acknowledging that power skills such as adaptability, time management, communication and collaboration, are in short supply and of greatest need. The recent IBM report, The enterprise guide to closing the skills gap, underscores this new perspective: Power skills now dominate the list of core competencies that global executives seek in employees, supplanting technical skills for the first time.
Lynn and Foussier see power skills development as a headliner on the executive leadership agenda for 2020. "Enterprises everywhere are recognizing the skills gap identified in the IBM report," said AceUp Chief Product Officer Layla Lynn. "They understand that they have to invest in their greatest asset -- their people -- if they are to remain competitive in 2020 and beyond. Millennials and Gen Z are the next leaders of today's companies, and our coaching platform gives them the personalized leadership development they need to thrive in their roles and take their companies to the next level."
AceUp taps into today's broad expectations among its target market of personalized product and service delivery by offering personalized, one-on-one executive coaching. AceUp utilizes a technology-driven framework that enables an end-to-end executive coaching deployment enterprise-wide and measures impact through progressive analytics. The company is democratizing one-on-one coaching to make it affordable and accessible across an organization.
Currently, the AceUp platform offers services from close to 500 premier executive coaches and counts over 40 companies among its clients, including LovePop, Rapid7, Boston Children's Hospital and Ginkgo Bioworks among others. The company has raised $3M in funding to date and is well on its way to achieving aggressive growth goals to make one-on-one coaching widely available. Foussier and Lynn are confident that this notable recognition by Forbes will help them meet and then exceed their objectives.
About AceUp:
For companies that want to maximize their employee engagement, increase retention, and foster performance through a culture of continuous learning, AceUp delivers personalized executive coaching to connect employees with their full potential through a tech-enabled framework that is impactful, scalable, and measurable.
Informed by leaders from Harvard, MIT and Yale, AceUp delivers the only personalized executive coaching service supported by a growing community of vetted executive coaches, certified by ICF, iPEC, CTI, Hudson Institute, Harvard University, among other accredited institutions.

California based software company HashCash Consultants joins hands with German Solar Power Company to deploy a blockchain-based P2P energy trading platform.

PALO ALTO, CALIF. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 04, 2019
HashCash Consultants enters the energy trading market by partnering with a German solar power company. The proposed collaboration aims to deploy a Blockchain-based platform for peer-to-peer trading of renewable solar energy creating a microgrid of prosumers and consumers.
Raj Chowdhury, CEO of HashCash Consultants commented, "Smart contracts will be used to balance the demand and supply of solar energy and to allow P2P trade. The Blockchain network participants will be able to register their preferences in the shared ledger and conduct trade without the interference of a central body or a middleman."
Phasing out from nuclear power, Germany is moving towards greener alternatives in the energy and power sector with a substantial predisposition towards solar energy.
Blockchain for P2P Energy Trading
The increased inclination of the general population towards renewable energy sources like solar energy has given way to a whole new community of prosumers. These individuals produce their energy through PV solar panels and consume that. In most cases, there is excess production of energy which the prosumer can trade with his/her neighbor.
Unfortunately, the current system mandates the public utility to be the third party intermediary between the prosumer and the consumer, making the process highly regulated with subsequent charges involved.
Blockchain-based peer-to-peer trading can facilitate a new form of the energy market that enables the prosumers to trade in energy cost-effectively and seamlessly.
What is HashCash offering?
The Blockchain-based P2P platform proposed by HashCash aims to create a balanced energy trading ecosystem of prosumers and consumers through standardization and elimination of any third-party intermediary.
It will allow any prosumer to trade the produced solar energy on the platform directly to the consumer, making it cost-effective. The use of smart contracts would eliminate the need to complete transactions through a central body. Both the participants of the contract will have pre-trade transparency and it will get executed through a consensus. The transaction and settlements will happen in an instant recording every detail in the immutable Blockchain.
Such a system will allow people to get access to inexpensive energy systems through the trade of solar energy via the P2P platform. Besides that, it will also open up an avenue for viable investments in the renewable energy market.
About HashCash Consultants
HashCash is a global software company. HashCash Blockchain products enable enterprises to move assets and settle payments across borders in real-time for Remittances, Trade Finance, Payment Processing and more. HashCash runs US-based digital asset exchange, PayBito & digital asset payment processor, BillBitcoins.

These skillfully crafted survey questions are informed by two decades of IT research and advisory. Vendors with top user scores receive the Emotional Footprint Award.

Bright spots in global sourcing for Q3 include GIC setups, digital services and revenues for offshore heritage providers.

DALLAS (PRWEB) DECEMBER 05, 2019
The global sourcing industry posted a 6.7% decline in transactions in the third quarter of 2019, dropping to 444 transactions from 476 transactions recorded in Q2, according to Everest Group. This marks the third consecutive quarter of declining transactions in 2019. From a year-on-year perspective, transactions declined 15.6% from 526 in Q3 2018 to 444 in Q3 2019.
Everest Group also reports these Q3 statistics indicating suppressed growth in the global sourcing market:

The total spending on outsourcing contracts fell across the US and Europe (especially the UK) owing to global recessionary sentiments.

Offshore heritage service providers have announced considerable layoffs in this quarter to streamline their delivery pyramids and reduce costs.

The revenue for global services providers decreased marginally.

Both merger and acquisition (M&A) and alliance activity witnessed a decline.

However, within the global outsourcing activity for Q3, a few bright spots appeared:

India witnessed growth in activity driven by an increase in new global in-house center (GIC; also known as shared services center) setups, specifically for supporting engineering and digital-focused services.

The volume of digital-focused new centers increased both in the onshore as well as the offshore region, with artificial intelligence (AI) continuing as the leading segment across both regions. The activity was largely driven by India and China in offshore/nearshore regions and by the United States in the onshore region.

Technology and communication remained the most active sector in offshore/nearshore and onshore locations and accounted for 63% and 50% of total new center setups, respectively. During the quarter, the retail and consumer product goods (CPG) vertical gained traction in onshore locations with nine new setups, compare to four in Q2.

These global sourcing trends are detailed in Everest Group's recently released Market Vista: Q4 2019 report. The Market Vista report provides data and analysis highlighting the key trends in the fast-evolving offshoring and outsourcing market. Market Vista captures the key developments across outsourcing transaction trends, health of GICs, location risks and opportunities, and service provider developments.
Special Focus: Engineering/R&D Sourcing
The Market Vista: Q4 2019 report profiles outsourcing activity in the engineering/R&D space, including an overview of spending and a growth outlook across sectors. In 2018, the enterprises featured in the ER&D Top 200 across eight industries accounted for 56% of the overall ER&D spend globally. By sector, software vendors emerged as the highest spender ($127 billion), edging out the automotive sector, which led in 2017.
"In 2019, we expect the software product industry to remain in the top spot for ER&D spending, probably in the 15% growth range, as enterprise software vendors continue to explore offerings around emerging tech themes," said H. Karthik, partner, Global Sourcing, at Everest Group. "The medical device sector is expected to experience the next highest growth rate in engineering/R&D spend, driven by software integration in medical devices and the growth of the wearables sector."

Business owners, professional athletes, managers and entrepreneurs can schedule a class with motivational coach Chad Cooper before 2020.

BOCA RATON, FLA. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 05, 2019
Chad Cooper, the experienced author and motivational coach who offers classes for business owners around the world, is offering classes for the end of 2019 that focus on setting and achieving goals in 2020 and beyond. The reason Chad is focusing on this now is because he believes that any accomplishments made in the New Year, are done so because of work put it at the end of the previous year and this includes personal and business goals. There will also be online business courses for entrepreneurs and professional athletes offered as well via his site.
"It doesn't matter what your goals are, lose weight, stop smoking, get out of debt, build up your company, if you have goals or New Years resolutions as they are often called, the work needs to be started now. We have this mentality that we just want to enjoy and survive the rest of the year as we have so much thrown at us including family and work responsibilities. The problem is that when January comes around, we are trying to break habits that have been set in place for months or years and that's why most of us fail within the first few weeks and resort back to our normal routine." Chad Cooper
The motivational classes will focus on identifying what the goals are and how to begin working towards them now, in order to achieve them in 2020. This reflects a proven method of coaching utilized by the author for years now as he helps people identify not just their goals, but who they want to become in the future and what would it require to be that person? These strategies are available in online courses to business owners and others who are interested in the program.
"You take a business owner or manager, someone who has had a lot of success to get where they are now but they understand the challenges that they have to take on to get where they want to go, not just in their professional lives, but their personal ones as well. When you were 24 you could be aggressive and go after everything. Now you're 44 and you have a family to support, your doctor wants you to drop 20 pounds, you have a mortgage and you are running the company. That's not an easy list of things to handle and you cannot just wake up January 1st and think you are going to be able to get started. The work needs to get started now and that's how my classes can help you."
About Chad E Cooper
Chad E Cooper is an experienced life coach and entrepreneur. His book Time Isn't The Problem: Four Stages To Transform Stress Into Success, is available on Amazon. After his time in the United States Marines Corps, Chad moved onto work at Microsoft as an information technology advisor.

The iland cloud-based disaster recovery, backup and infrastructure services built with multi-layered security help governments keep operations running and fortify networks against ransomware attacks

HOUSTON (PRWEB) DECEMBER 05, 2019
iland, an industry-leading provider of secure application and data protection cloud services built on proven VMware technology, today announced it is helping state, local government and education (SLED) customers around the world move to the cloud and level the playing field against ransomware attackers to keep data safe and operations up and running.
City governments, large and small, are responsible for critical services that materially impact the quality of living and safety of their citizens. Yet, their IT organizations are forced to operate with scarce resources, small budgets and limited expertise to combat challenges like natural disasters and ransomware attacks.
This year, cybercriminals have zeroed in on these weaknesses, paralyzing city after city with vicious ransomware attacks. And more cities continue to experience severe weather events. In response, many city governments are turning to the cloud for help.
iland is working with hundreds of state and local governments and schools around the world to help fortify their IT strategies and guard against ransomware attacks through an intelligent migration to cloud-based services for infrastructure, disaster recovery and data backup. With iland, these organizations can replace aging equipment on premises with affordable and award-winning subscription-based cloud services paired with security and compliance experts available around the clock.
"IT professionals with state and local government agencies are consistently under-resourced when combating challenges like natural disasters and ransomware," said Brian Ussher, iland president and co-founder. "At the same time, they're tasked with literally keeping the lights on and maintaining critical services. iland helps take the weight off their shoulders by protecting their data in the iland cloud with air-gapped backups and disaster recovery solutions, or by migrating their live server workloads into the iland Secure Cloud Platform with enterprise class support."
"Looking at the challenges most city governments face today, it's nearly impossible to secure the budgets and resources needed to maintain on-premise resources," said Garrett Griswold, IT director for the city of Geneseo, Ill. "iland made our first move into the cloud far easier than anyone expected. Now we have the tools and expertise needed to keep our systems and data secure and running smoothly."
iland Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) and Backup as a Service (BaaS) help protect against ransomware attacks and natural disasters by maintaining multiple copies of data, including optional air-gapped copies of data, offsite in one of iland's 10 secure global data centers. iland also works closely with Veeam for backup solutions that meet the strict criteria of the U.S. Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS).
iland Secure DRaaS enables IT workloads to be replicated from virtual or physical environments to a secure cloud infrastructure. iland's Secure Cloud BaaS integrated with Veeam Cloud Connect technology offers an easy and cost-effective cloud solution for offsite backup and archives. And iland's Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS) provides a self-service cloud infrastructure built on VMware vCloud and Cisco PoweredTM technology designed to support a variety of workloads, disaster recovery and compliance needs.
iland provides more than a decade of disaster recovery expertise, working closely with partners like Veeam to protect on-premise data and workloads, in addition to support for VMware vCloud environments. iland DRaaS leads the industry with a placement as a Leader in the Gartner DRaaS Magic Quadrant for four straight years.
Simplified, All-inclusive Pricing
Pricing for iland IaaS, BaaS and DRaaS solutions is flexible and precise, giving customers the ability to make monthly payments based on their workloads and data storage needs. iland also provides state and local customers with iland Catalyst, a complementary cloud assessment tool that simplifies the journey to the cloud and makes it easier for organizations using VMware to model and right size cloud requirements for cloud backup, disaster recovery or migration without costly over-provisioning or detrimentally under-provisioning.
About iland
iland is a global cloud service provider of secure and compliant hosting for infrastructure (IaaS), disaster recovery (DRaaS), and backup as a service (BaaS). They are recognized by industry analysts as a leader in disaster recovery. The award-winning iland Secure Cloud Console natively combines deep layered security, predictive analytics, and compliance to deliver unmatched visibility and ease of management for all of iland's cloud services.

Abide, the #1 Christian meditation and sleep app, has helped adults and children alike fall asleep over 25 million times this year using Bible-based bedtime stories. Listeners have recovered from bad dreams and night terrors, quit using sleeping pills, and awakened with refreshed minds.
According to the Center for Disease Control, one third of Americans suffer from poor sleep, which is linked to diabetes, obesity and depression. Sleep is essential for your mood, energy and cognitive fitness. It enhances learning, memory, attention, problem solving and creativity.
Since Abide launched by co-founders Neil Ahlsten and Eric Tse, users have meditated over 1-billion minutes.
"God designed us to sleep," says Ahlsten. "If you fall asleep in a bad mood or filled with bad thoughts, you sleep poorly and wake up tired and anxious. But if you sleep knowing the peace of Christ, you sleep more soundly, wake up more refreshed, and even dream about God."
In 2014 the two former Google employees set out to use new media technology to help people draw closer to God with prayer and meditation. Abide is now used in more than 200 countries and averages 75,000 new user downloads per month.
One Abide user said, "I used to take NyQuil sleeping pills to help me sleep. With Abide I have ditched the pills! I fall asleep every time within 15 minutes. It's beautifully made."
The Abide app is free to download but a paid subscription to Abide Premium gives access to over 1000 hours of premium content, including an ever-growing library of biblically based Sleep Stories, daily meditations, children's stories, calming background music, and a journaling tool.
Download the app for a 7-day free trial and join the thousands across the globe for daily Christian prayer and meditation. It has had over 2-million downloads to date and over 35,000 5-star user reviews.
Abide is available in both the App Store and Google Play store. Full details can be found here.
About Abide
Abide Meditation is a project of Carpenters Code, a small startup located in San Mateo, California. It was started by former Google employees seeking to use their gifts to help bring people closer to God. The Abide mobile app is the world's most popular Christian meditation app, guiding hundreds of thousands of people around the world in biblical truth and personal reflection.

Bit-Wizards is proud to announce the successful completion of a SOC 2 Type 1 Audit.

FORT WALTON BEACH, FLA. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 06, 2019
Bit-Wizards is proud to announce the completion of an SSAE 18 Certification (Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 18). One of the catalysts to launching the third-party audit for the SOC 2 Type 1 (Service Organization Control) Reports to meet the SSAE 18 requirements is Bit-Wizards' long-standing partnership with TSA Consulting Group for the continued design, development, maintenance, and hosting of their EPARS tool. EPARS performs the electronic transmission of 403B and 457 payroll retirement contributions for public school employees to retirement fund managers like Fidelity and ING. Additionally, within financial and insurance sectors, Bit-Wizards will continue to work with institutions like TSA Consulting Group, Landrum HR, Vystar Credit Union, Space Coast Credit Union, and Pilot Catastrophe.
Along with extensive experience in the financial and insurance industries, Bit-Wizards' completion of the SOC 2 Type 1 Audit ensures they will continue to work with trusted professional services companies like Landrum HR, for whom they recently built an employee management and benefits portal, called MyLandrum to help manage PII information.
What is SSAE 18?
The Standards for Attestation Engagements 18 (SSAE 18) Certification was developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) as a series of enhancements to the preceding SSAE 16 Certification. The new standards established in the SSAE 18 certification process include the implementation of a formal third-party vendor management program and a formal annual risk assessment process. The SSAE 18 standards now bring all the varying degrees of compliance standards previously existing in the U.S. up to the international standards of compliance. The SOC 2 Type 1 (Service Organization Control) audit is widely recognized for the intensive scrutiny it puts systems of the organization through, in terms of their control activities related to business processes and related Information System General Controls. This audit provides customers with guaranteed security and reliability for their systems and data.
Auditing firms must follow AICPA rules when conducting an audit of a company's internal controls. Warren Averett, an independent auditing firm, performed the audit for Bit-Wizards and validated the security controls and processes involved in storing, handling, and transmitting data securely. Various controls related to logical access, physical security, back-up and recovery, business processes, etc. were checked to ensure that the internal stakeholders follow all the right governance and compliance practices and procedures.
Why SSAE for Bit-Wizards?
The successful completion of this voluntary audit illustrates Bit-Wizards' ongoing commitment to create and maintain the most stringent controls for the protection and security of confidential information for its customers, partners, and internal stakeholders. Internally, Jennifer Kraus, the Managed IT Services Manager for Bit-Wizards, championed this one-year project to achieve the certification. Jennifer worked closely with Warren Averett, as well as key stakeholders in Finance, IT, Software Engineering, Marketing, Human Resources, Operations, and the COO and CEO to set the systems and controls in place.
"At Bit-Wizards we continually re-invent and add new programs and systems that provide value to our current and potential customers. Our investment in the SSAE 18 SOC-2 Certification ensures we have the necessary controls to service highly regulated industries such as banking, finance, and insurance. All of our customers benefit from this certification. In 2020, we are working to achieve a SOC-1 Certification. This new certification will hold our systems and processes to an even higher standard, guaranteeing that we have the most beneficial controls and measures in place for the benefit of our customers' success." – Vince Mayfield CEO
Security, privacy, and performance are fundamental to each line of business at Bit-Wizards. The need for safety and controls for custom applications deployed to the cloud, the daily management, and continuous monitoring of client's IT networks, websites, and other digital assets is paramount to the continued success of each client project.
Bit-Wizards' adherence to the most stringent, industry-accepted auditing standards for service companies provides additional assurance to clients and partners that both its business process controls, and information technology controls are operating securely and effectively.
About Bit-Wizards
Bit-Wizards is an innovative, award-winning technology company with offices in Florida, Tennessee, and Texas. Bit-Wizards' 19-year proven track record stands on successful long-term projects ranging in expertise with software engineering, digital marketing, cloud infrastructure, and managed IT services.

Companies deliver convenient and secure web browsing by integrating InterSafe WebFilter with Ericom Shield

NEW YORK (PRWEB) DECEMBER 09, 2019
Ericom Software, a leader in secure web and application access solutions, today announced that its partner, Japan-based K.K. Ashisuto, has collaborated with Alps System Integration Co. (ALSI) to bring Ericom's isolation capabilities to ALSI's InterSafe WebFilter product. Ashisuto and ALSI will jointly promote the secure web access solution, which integrates Ericom Shield Browser Isolation with InterSafe WebFilter.
Ericom Shield prevents ransomware and other web-borne threats from reaching user endpoints by executing active web content in a remote, isolated, cloud-based container. An interactive media stream representing the website is sent to a device's browser, providing a safe, seamless, fully interactive user experience. Whether users browse to a malicious site on their own or reach one by clicking a URL embedded in a phishing email, they are completely safe since no web content is ever executed directly on the device.
Ericom Shield's capabilities now work seamlessly with InterSafe WebFilter. When InterSafe WebFilter classifies URLs as "safe sites" they will be rendered in the user's local browser. When sites are classified as prohibited or unsafe, they will be blocked. When URLs are classified as "uncategorized" or "suspicious", they will be executed and rendered in a virtual isolation chamber, and the site will be made available to users as a safe, fully interactive visual stream. The isolation technology ensures that any malware on the site will not reach the user's device.
"Ericom Shield provides a unique combination of security and productivity benefits to organizations," said David Canellos, CEO and President of Ericom Software. "Since it eliminates threats that might be delivered by sites with limited reputational history or suspicious sites, Ericom Shield allows companies to open up access to the web, so their employees can remain productive. We are pleased to be able to work with ALSI and Ashisuto to bring this integrated web security offering to the Japanese market."
"Cyber-attack methods are becoming more sophisticated every day. An increasingly common technique used by cybercriminals is to create a malicious website and use social engineering techniques to lure in employees to infect their endpoints," Canellos continued. "Rather than blocking access to all uncategorized sites, which can lead to significant business disruption for organizations, isolation can be used to safely visit these destinations."
"InterSafe WebFilter has been a leading web security solution in Japan for over a decade," said Satoshi Hakozaki, Managing Director and General Manager of Security Solution Division of ALSI. "Our customers rely on our products to keep them secure and we are pleased to partner with Ashisuto and Ericom to bring them innovative isolation capabilities to protect their organizations from sophisticated web-based malware and phishing threats."
For additional phishing protection, Ericom Shield's browser isolation technology can render sites in read-only mode to prevent users from entering credentials. Attached files are sanitized before being transmitted to endpoints, ensuring that malware within downloads cannot infect end-user devices.

With the rapid advancements in technologies, today's cars are, in a sense, behaving like personal computers, considering the amount of personal data stored on them. A simple act, such as selling your car to a new person, could result in personal data getting compromised.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) DECEMBER 09, 2019
Zimlon, a data-driven enterprise, has published an article that highlights different scenarios of how modern cars can be hacked by cybercriminals. The list of attack scenarios was created after analyzing data published by the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA).
Zimlon has represented the various attack scenarios in an infographic format that is easy to understand. With the rapid advancements in technologies, today's cars are, in a sense, behaving like personal computers, considering the amount of personal data stored on them. A simple act, such as selling your car to a new person, could result in personal data getting compromised.
Zimlon classifies the attack scenarios into 3 categories:

Large scale deployment of a rogue firmware after hacking OEM back-end servers

Hacking/altering a V2X application that allows access to the car

Sensor fooling by adversarial perturbation

These attack scenarios have the potential to cause large scale accidents and chaos if taken advantage of. The loopholes also highlight the possibility of stealing a vehicle and showing a different vehicle location to law enforcement officials. Another example is how RSUs and V2V interfaces could be the target of hackers to create traffic jams and other disruptions by sending incorrect information on traffic conditions and other functionalities.

New research identifies a clear link between workplace technology experience and employee satisfaction.

MILFORD, MASS. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), a leading IT analyst, research, and strategy firm, today released new research examining the way people work today and the changing role that technology plays in their work and personal lives.
Based on a survey of more than 1,000 North American full-time employees, the 2019 Digital Work Survey confirms the criticality of technologies such as mobile devices, cloud applications, and collaboration tools to the daily work patterns of all types of employees, regardless of role, seniority, age, or industry. In particular, the report found that as new technologies become more central to workers' day-to-day productivity, employers risk alienating current or prospective employees if they fail to provide a contemporary technology experience for those workers. One in four workers (25%) report that a negative technology experience would impact their decision to leave a job or refuse to accept a new job; a figure that jumps to 30% of workers age 35 and under and 43% of senior managers.
"In today's competitive labor market, many employers are rightly focused on improving the overall employee experience, inclusive of the technology resources provided to workers," said John McKnight, Executive Vice President of Research and Analyst Services at ESG. "Today's workers expect that their employer will provide them with modern applications and devices that help them do their job with a high degree of productivity. For example, we found that younger workers (35 and under) were 6.5 times more likely to be very satisfied with their current job when they had a positive view of their workplace technology. Conversely, just 7% of these younger employees reported being very satisfied when their workplace technology was viewed as subpar. Employers looking to attract and retain these workers and top talent of all ages need to ensure they are delivering the modern tools that today's workers demand."
While employees are increasingly insisting on modern technology, ESG's research also found that many of these workers lack the training required to keep sensitive information safe from a growing range of cybersecurity threats. While more than half of workers (60%) say they are required by their employer to undergo some form of cybersecurity training program, this largely depends on the size and industry sector of that organization. Many workers still don't receive any training whatsoever.
"ESG is excited to publish this new research to help organizations of all types and sizes gain a better understanding of employee technology habits and how they can create unexpected, yet preventable, security vulnerabilities," said Mark Bowker, Senior Analyst at ESG. "Employees are demanding remote work policies, bring-your-own-device programs, and broader use of mobile devices and applications. To remain competitive, employers must enable this modern technology experience while implementing the appropriate endpoint management and security controls, plus associated employee training, needed to protect the organization and its users from security threats."
ESG's 2019 Digital Work Survey will help both users and suppliers of workplace technology understand the changing requirements of the modern workforce. The full report encompasses topics such as employee work patterns, collaboration, devices, applications, and cybersecurity, and includes insights from employees across a range of industries, company sizes, functional groups, seniority levels, and worker types. Key areas of interest from the research include:
Artificial Intelligence

Most employees are optimistic about artificial intelligence (AI), but concerns around job loss persist. The majority of respondents (52%) are "excited" or "cautiously optimistic" about the technology and feel the benefits will outweigh any downsides, but 23% expressed concern about what AI might mean for their job as automation takes over manual tasks.

Collaboration

Real-time collaboration is table stakes. 46% of workers often need to collaborate with colleagues on a shared document in real time, while 49% feel the frequency with which they collaborate with colleagues has increased over the last 12-36 months.

Cybersecurity

Organizations need proper tools and procedures in place to prevent a breach. One in five workers (20%) say they have experienced a cyberattack. Phishing is the most common attack experienced by respondents (57%) followed by malware (39%) and ransomware (17%).

Employees exhibit risky behavior without proper training. 63% of respondents report using the same password for more than one work device and/or application.

Remote and mobile workers are particularly at risk. Respondents who work in a coffee shop on a weekly basis, potentially on an insecure Wi-Fi connection, are twice as likely as other workers to report that they have experienced a cybersecurity attack that targeted and/or infected their work applications or devices (38% versus 19%, respectively).

Work-life Balance

The average worker puts in close to an "extra shift" at home every week. Respondents report an average of six hours of additional work done outside of the office, outside of normal working hours, per week. This increases to an average of nine hours for senior managers.

A quarter (25%) of employees frequently answer work email while on vacation, with 71% having done it at some point.

Flexibility is expected for work devices. 54% of workers expect to be able to use the same device (phone, laptop, tablet, etc.) for both business and personal tasks.

In the most comprehensive report of its kind, leader in data breach protection analyzes millions of endpoints and networks along with cloud apps and email to expose how threats and vulnerabilities impact small and mid-sized businesses within specific locations

NEW YORK (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
Coronet, the leader in small business cybersecurity, today announced the release of Cybersecurity in the City: Where Small Businesses Are Most Vulnerable to Attack, its second annual report analyzing the threats and vulnerabilities to small and mid-market businesses within the country's 50 largest cities. For the second year in a row, Las Vegas was identified as the nation's most cyber insecure metro, followed by Houston and New York City. In addition, Salt Lake City, St. Louis and Seattle-Tacoma ranked as the least vulnerable cities to cyberattack. Cybersecurity in the City: Where Small Businesses Are Most Vulnerable to Attack, is the first report issued by Coronet since it revealed America's most cyber insecure airports in the summer of 2018.
To generate this report, Coronet collected and analyzed data from:

One million endpoints spanning all operating systems

24 million networks (public and private)

320,000 SaaS accounts (Dropbox, Box, Slack and Salesforce)

270,000 Gmail and Office 365 email accounts

The data, which was collected and analyzed over the previous 12 months, originated from over 93 million security events that were automatically mitigated by Coronet. In total, each event represented vulnerabilities that could be exploited by adversaries to gain access to cloud data, steal data or damage it.
America's Top 10 Most Insecure Metros
1. Las Vegas
2. Houston
3. New York City
4. Miami-Fort Lauderdale
5. Harrisburg-Lancaster
6. West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce
7. Hartford-New Haven
8. Birmingham
9. Indianapolis
10. Sacramento-Stockton
America's Top 10 Least Vulnerable Metros
1. Salt Lake City
2. St. Louis
3. Seattle-Tacoma
4. Austin
5. Albuquerque-Santa Fe
6. Phoenix
7. Oklahoma City
8. Cincinnati
9. Columbus (OH)
10. Cleveland-Akron
"The intent of this report is to demonstrate that each city possesses unique attributes which make them more or less vulnerable in terms of cyber risks," said Guy Moskowitz, founder & CEO, Coronet. "It's not surprising that business destinations like Las Vegas and New York are relatively more vulnerable given the density and attractiveness to attackers. Increasingly, small and midsized businesses are being targeted by criminals who see them as easier strike targets. It's our hope that this research will help demonstrate the risks present in different markets and encourage small businesses to take a more proactive stance towards improving their cybersecurity posture."
The Methodology Behind Identifying America's Most Cyber Insecure Cities
Coronet aggregated and evaluated data on potential damages that could be caused by attackers and existing vulnerabilities in the 50 largest DMAs, which together account for almost 70% of the entire U.S. population. For each DMA, Coronet combined and standardized a device vulnerability score with an infrastructure vulnerability score to obtain an overall Threat Index score.
To calculate the infrastructure score, Coronet scanned Wi-Fi and cellular networks for attackers and vulnerabilities. Based on its proprietary algorithms, attackers were then identified and ranked on their potential to cause damage.

Collaboration designed to advance the practice of pathology, accelerating research breakthroughs and improving patient outcomes

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
Proscia, a leading provider of AI-enabled digital pathology software, and Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, one of the leading academic medical centers in the U.S., will collaborate on the development of computational applications that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI) to advance the practice of pathology for multiple diseases.
Disease-specific AI applications help drive efficiency, productivity, and quality in tissue diagnosis. This is critical in overcoming the subjectivity inherent in traditional pathology and in addressing the world's looming pathologist shortage. AI also has the power to tap into data unseen by the human eye to reveal clinically important tissue patterns.
Training a successful AI system for pathology requires diverse, high-quality pathology data. Diverse data helps ensure an AI system is accurate across a wide variety of diseases, methods of biopsy, preparation of tissue, tissue dying procedures, and digital scanning processes.
"As digital pathology continues to gain traction, AI-driven applications will advance this adoption by driving economic and clinical benefits," said Dr. Michael Bonham, Chief Medical Officer of Proscia. "Proscia is proud to collaborate with Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, a leader in cancer research, diagnosis, and treatment, to accelerate our pipeline of disease-specific AI applications."
This collaboration adds to the growing list of leading academic and commercial institutions with which Proscia has worked to bring disease-specific AI applications to market. Starting with its release of DermAI in June 2019, Proscia has grown its collaborators, which now include the University of Florida, Cockerell Dermatopathology, Dermatopathology Laboratory of Central States, and Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.*
About Proscia
Proscia is an AI software company that is changing the way the world practices pathology to transform cancer research and diagnosis. With the company's Concentriq digital pathology platform and pipeline of AI algorithms, laboratories are leveraging new kinds of data to improve patient outcomes and accelerate discoveries. Proscia's team of technologists, scientists, and pathologists is bringing a fresh approach to an outdated industry, helping the world to keep pace with the increasing demand for pathology services and fulfill the promise of precision care.

Built on a tiny form factor from Intel, the HE150, which includes HC3 Edge Fabric networking that lowers TCO for deployments, delivers accessible and affordable edge computing designed specifically for organizations that require small-yet-intelligent IT infrastructure

LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization and hyperconverged solutions, today unveiled its newest HC3 Edge appliance at the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference. The new HE150, which is powered by Intel technology, offers a low-cost edge solution that is built on a tiny form factor, making it ideal to deploy in small clusters where highly available computing was previously cost-prohibitive. The new appliance also introduces HC3 Edge Fabric, which eliminates the need for a backplane network switch requirement, lowering the TCO and delivering simpler connectivity for edge networks.
The HE150 appliance is a small, all-flash, NVMe storage-based compute appliance that delivers all of the simplicity, efficiency, and enterprise-ready virtualization associated with Scale Computing's HC3 platform. Built specifically for sites that need highly available infrastructure, the HE150 can be deployed almost anywhere, without requiring a rack or server closet. Taking up only the space needed to stack three smartphones, it also includes disaster recovery, high availability clustering, rolling upgrades and integrated data protection.
"With no IT staff on site, downtime is a constant concern at each of our locations. Downtime can cost us tens of thousands of dollars, and therefore is not an option for Jerry's Foods," explained Jeff Miller, director of IT at Jerry's Foods. "I was blown away by the simplicity and functionality of Scale Computing's edge solutions. It's making a huge impact on my day-to-day IT operations. With the addition of the HE150, distributed enterprises now have the ability to scale up or down depending on their edge computing needs. It's a win-win!"
The HE150 is based on the Intel NUC offering excellent performance to handle a wide range of workloads. The cutting-edge construction and connectivity comes ready for industrial and IoT applications. The extremely small form factor consumes a small amount of power, offers ease of installation and an ability to rapidly add devices that scale up rapidly, along with the reliability needed for edge computing and IoT applications.
"The high-functionality, reliability and performance of HE150 represents a major breakthrough that will open up new markets for Scale Computing and its partners, including Infrastructure Technology Solutions," said Joel Althoff, president at Infrastructure Technology Solutions. "With Scale Computing, HE150 opens up a new door to edge computing, delivering an affordable edge solution equipped with disaster recovery and resiliency, that is truly innovative in the marketplace."
In addition to the new Scale Computing HE150 appliance, HC3 Edge software, which is available to large multi-site customers and partners, is also introducing general software support for Intel NUC based systems from other hardware suppliers. HC3 Edge software will be available soon for Lenovo's new Smart Edge portfolio of fan-less, small form factor PCs. Visit https://www.lenovo.com/ww/en/solutions/smartedge to learn more or contact Scale Computing for further details.
"A growing number of distributed organizations require infrastructure at the edge of the network, specifically at sites where there are limited IT staff available. With edge computing on the rise, organizations are requiring solutions that can fit small footprint requirements with robust application performance, while still being affordable, efficient and simple to manage remotely," said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. "This is why we created our newest HE150 appliance, making edge computing a financially viable and practical option for more organizations. Our ability to deliver HCI technology in a smaller form factor and lower price point is making edge computing capabilities and resources more accessible to many organizations."
This news comes live from the Gartner IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies Conference in Las Vegas, where Scale Computing CEO and Co-Founder Jeff Ready will present, "Scale Computing: Benefits of Expanding Your Data Center to the Edge" on Wednesday, Dec. 11 at 9:15 a.m. PST in Titian 2301A.
Pricing and Availability
The HE150 can be clustered for high availability with three or more appliances. Pricing begins at an MSRP as low as $5000 USD for a three-node cluster. The HE150 appliance is now available for purchase. Please contact our sales team for more information at: info@scalecomputing.com or 877-722-5359.

Chargeback Gurus announced the launch of their Visa Merchant Purchase Inquiry (VMPI) service for ecommerce and Card-Not-Present (CNP) businesses today. As an authorized facilitator of Visa's VMPI program, Chargeback Gurus recently completed a pilot program in which their VMPI service successfully prevented between 40 to 54% of Visa disputes for participating businesses. They are now offering this service to businesses worldwide who are looking to proactively prevent chargebacks. Businesses can easily enroll in this service and start preventing chargebacks in as little as two weeks.

MCKINNEY, TEXAS (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
The Problem
Chargebacks are a growing problem for merchants, especially those who primarily sell online and process a high number of CNP transactions. Chargebacks in the ecommerce sphere collectively cost merchants upwards of $40 billion, and when time, labor, and fees are factored in, each chargeback typically ends up costing a merchant more than double the actual transaction amount under dispute. Merchants who incur excessive chargebacks also risk having their payment processing services terminated.
More than 80% of all chargebacks are believed to be so-called "friendly fraud:" legitimate transactions that are disputed by the cardholder out of either confusion or fraudulent intent. Merchants can contest these chargebacks and avoid revenue loss, but this requires constant monitoring and response, which can be challenging—especially for small businesses.
The Solution
VMPI was created to make it easier for merchants to respond to invalid disputes before the chargeback process begins in earnest. Merchants who enroll in VMPI through Visa receive real time alerts when a dispute is initiated, giving them the opportunity to respond with information about the transaction that the cardholder's bank can use to verify its legitimacy. Many cardholders, when faced with evidence that they really did make the transaction, end up withdrawing the dispute.
Since Visa has a lengthy onboarding and integration process, they have authorized few companies like Chargeback Gurus to offer VMPI service on their behalf. Merchants can receive and respond to dispute alerts through VMPI facilitators. By enrolling through an authorized VMPI facilitator, the timeframe to go live with VMPI can be drastically shortened, and the facilitator can provide uninterrupted monitoring so that no alerts go unanswered.
Why Chargeback Gurus
Chargeback Gurus is one of the few authorized VMPI facilitators, and the only one with built-in analytics to determine the effectiveness of VMPI for its clients. These analytics help businesses identify their chargeback prevention metrics, prevent revenue loss, track shipments flagged as fraudulent by Visa, and track transactions that have been cancelled due to Visa's request.
The integrated VMPI solution they offer also includes chargeback representment services and chargeback prevention alerts, all accessible from one simple user interface that makes it easy for businesses to effectively manage and control their chargebacks. With more than 15 years of experience fighting chargebacks on behalf of ecommerce merchants, Chargeback Gurus always aims to provide 100% transparency to their clients for all the various services they offer.

Leading Colorado-based access control manufacturer works together with Digital Support Systems to keep access control Pure for Oakwood University Church & improves security.

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
ISONAS Inc., a leading IP access control and hardware solution and part of the Allegion family of brands, today announced its access control solution was selected by Oakwood University Church in Huntsville, AL. The Oakwood University Church provides spiritual nurture to over 2,000 members and 1,600 students on the campus of Oakwood University, a Historical African American University founded in 1896. In the Spring of 2016, Oakwood University Church security personnel conducted a comprehensive security assessment of the campus and submitted its recommendations to the church's Senior Pastor, Dr. Carlton Byrd. It was uncovered that the church needed to improve security at their facilities and make major changes in the way access was controlled. Instead of having hundreds of keys assigned to staff members; the church needed to control access electronically and wire all entrances and doors for an automated entry system. To meet this new requirement, the church needed to find an access control solution that was easy to manage from one unified platform, while also integrating seamlessly with its existing video surveillance system; making ISONAS the perfect choice.
With no access control system in place, it was difficult for Oakwood University Church to track who was going in and out of their facilities daily. In many cases, personnel would leave without notification and not turn in their keys; making it cumbersome for the management team to control future access. They wanted to ensure that a person's access could be controlled with a set of constraints that allowed an individual to access a certain area at a specific time. A phased approach was used which allowed the church to slowly build a cost-effective powerful integrated access control system on one unified platform.
Both ISONAS and a local integration firm, Digital Support Systems customized the solution based on the church's needs. "Over the past year, Digital Support Systems has become enamored with ISONAS's Pure IP cloud-based access control solutions and has helped push the IP revolution forward by steering customers away from traditional panel-based access control systems," states Jim Wilson, System Analyst at Digital Support Systems. The project consisted of a phased approach which allowed the church to slowly build a cost-effective powerful integrated access control system on one unified platform. Phase 1 consisted of 14 doors in the administrative complex being outfitted with the ISONAS RC-04 reader-controllers. RC-04 reader-controllers from ISONAS, deliver advanced technical functionality with an easy installation process. Phase 2 consisted of outfitting 27 doors in the church's new Family Life Center. Phase 3 included adding ISONAS readers to 14 more doors in the administrative wing of the church. With 55 readers installed in 2019, Phase 4 will add on 14 double doors surrounding the sanctuary on both upper and lower levels and Phase 5 would complete the remaining 22 doors; bringing the total number of ISONAS readers in a five-year time span to 91. "The ISONAS Pure IP solution that we selected has been the perfect fit for us. The ability to lock-down the entire facility with a single keystroke is a 'tour de force' in the industry and we believe that it is an investment well spent," states Dr. Carlton P. Byrd, Senior Pastor at Oakwood University Church.
In addition to the ISONAS hardware, the ISONAS Pure Access Software was implemented to give the church remote access capabilities, Pure Access, ISONAS's industry-leading software, is a cloud-based access control application that provides users the ability to manage their access control from anywhere at any time, on any device. "With ISONAS, the church was able to streamline access control and have peace of mind at all times knowing that all entrance ways were secure," states Jonathan Mooney, ISONAS Sales Leader.
Now that there was a secure and scalable access control system in place, the church could expand and add to the system seamlessly. With a total of approximately 55 readers installed and 44 more to be installed within the next year, plus over 75 video surveillance cameras on the premises; the church has reached a higher power by having a significant threat management capability behind them thanks to the teamwork of ISONAS and Digital Support Systems.

Intelligent Teams increases revenue while helping firms achieve invoice acceptance

SEWICKLEY. PA. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
Bellefield Systems, the providers of the fastest path to revenue through its time entry and compliance solutions, announces several new, innovative features in the iTimekeep platform, including Intelligent Teams, as part of the Fall 2019 release. Intelligent Teams enables contemporaneous time entry within the firm. By leveraging the multiple advantages of 'first-to-record' timekeepers, Intelligent Teams captures more time, captures it more accurately and, therefore, directly increases revenue while also helping firms achieve their invoice acceptance strategies.
Financially successful firms do not 'only' produce a higher number of billable hours, they are also able to capture more of those hours with greater accuracy. As clients increase scrutiny of outside counsel invoices--and collection cycles are increasing by up to 300% as a result--firms cannot allow revenues to be held up in elongated collections. 100% invoice acceptance is, therefore, a top strategy advised by Citi Private Bank Law Firm Group 2019 Client Advisory heading into 2020.
Research demonstrates that the first timekeeper to enter time is the most accurate. Intelligent Teams leverages this fact such that "first-to-record" timekeepers have the opportunity to "tag" others working on the same matter. Intelligent Teams then automatically creates an intelligent timecard in draft mode for associated timekeepers with the same information as the original timecard.
This brings all relevant timekeepers into the timekeeping process to maximize billable time entry accuracy and efficiency. Intelligent Teams supports invoice acceptance strategies by improving time entry accuracy, which prevents rejections, appeals and payment delays due to inconsistencies in time entries.
Some other new features of the Fall 2019 release include:

My Shortcuts helps timekeepers create an unlimited number of customized shortcuts to achieve the fastest path to entering time.

Personalized Engagement recognizes which device a timekeeper is using and opens the appropriate app that the timekeeper needs when they need it.

Print Time Codes provides a more comprehensive print view to get more data and better visibility into timekeeping performance.

Gabriela Isturiz, Co-Founder and President of Bellefield Systems, comments: "Another industry first, Intelligent Teams brings collaboration and compliance to the time entry process to further enable the business mandate of increasing revenue and focusing on invoice acceptance strategies. We continue to disrupt the time entry space to make accuracy and compliance more achievable than ever before, bringing forth more innovations in the past 5 years than have occurred over the past 30."
Bellefield continues its aggressive growth and commitment to innovation by providing its clients with a new release full of value for all users. This release is now available to all clients and is included in the subscription at no additional cost or burden to the firm.

WhereScape today announced the results of a global survey by the Business Application Research Center (BARC), commissioned by WhereScape. The survey revealed that nearly half of respondents found time-consuming development processes at the top of the list of primary drivers for data warehouse modernization as companies look to keep pace with increasing complexity in the data landscape.

HOUSTON (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
WhereScape the leading provider in data infrastructure automation software, today announced the results of a global survey by the Business Application Research Center (BARC), commissioned by WhereScape. The survey revealed that nearly half of respondents found time-consuming development processes at the top of the list of primary drivers for data warehouse modernization as companies look to keep pace with increasing complexity in the data landscape. Lack of agility in infrastructure and internal processes, as well as a lack of business and technical know-how, however, are limiting business' ability to act.
"This research gives statistical evidence and puts the BARC stamp on concepts that WhereScape has been evangelizing for some time. In order for companies to succeed today, we must automate repetitive manual tasks that force too many developers to solve puzzles and fight fires arising from outdated tools and methodologies. Only then can companies focus forward on innovation and agile collaboration to supply reliable data to the business at the right time," said Rob Mellor, vice president and general manager EMEA, WhereScape.
Drivers for modernization
44% of survey participants found that time-consuming development processes were the most daunting tasks in the data warehouse landscape and the primary reason to modernize. This response was followed by restricted support of self-service BI (35%) and lack of ability to provide required data (30%). Of note, the inability to meet compliance and regulatory requirements was only seen as a major challenge by 14% of participants. Even less (11%) found insufficient technology or lack of functionality to be a limiting factor, suggesting technology has reached a sound level of maturity.
Methods of modernization
Data warehouse and ETL automation is the most important approach to modernizing the data warehouse (60%). Correspondingly, data integration and data warehouse automation are the technologies most frequently utilized. By trend, however, enterprises with more mature data warehouse landscapes are more geared towards moving into the cloud, and report less infrastructure and process challenges - clearly profiting from investments in a flexible data and process architecture and agile data services.
Challenges faced in modernizing the data warehouse
Participants cited lack of agility in infrastructure and internal processes (39%) as well as lack of business and technical know-how (38%), as the key factors limiting the ability to move forward with data warehouse modernization. Data and analytics literacy is not only an immensely important success factor for building an effective, cost-efficient and sustainable data warehouse environment. These skills are invaluable for the transformation to the digital enterprise, yet they are rare. Enterprises with less advanced data warehouse environments struggle more than those who are more advanced. However, it is vital to realize that this area requires investment in existing employees in any case.
Leaders, followers and laggards
In order to characterize the status quo of survey participants' current data warehouse and analytics landscape, three groups of respondents were created: leaders, followers and laggards (see definitions below). Here were the standout statistics within the groups surveyed:

        The data warehouse/ETL automation approach to modernization was a popular approach with nearly half or more of respondents from all groups (leaders, followers, and laggards).

     For leaders, real-time processing of data is the most important (41%). This is due to real-time processing being one of the most important prerequisites for decision automation and being an important foundation for agile, interoperable data services.

     For leaders, analytical databases are utilized much more intensively than by followers and laggards (41% compared to 27% overall).

     For leaders, cloud services play an important role in approaches to modernization of the data warehouse with 46% citing cloud services as a promising alternative with regard to resource and cost efficiency of hardware.

     Laggards in particular suffer from a lack of support from executives for data warehouse modernization initiatives (44%).

Concluded Mellor: "In order for IT to advance and deliver timely business insights needed in today's era of exploding data, an automation-first approach to data warehouse modernization is essential. Leading organizations are recognizing the need to focus skilled development resources away from repetitive coding and onto higher value projects by arming developers with the automated tools necessary to agilely deliver."
About the research
The research asked participants from analytics teams, IT and corporate management to provide insight into the current status of data warehouse modernization. The survey was carried out between January-May 2019 by BARC research. 368 respondents from a wide range of competencies, industries and company sizes were selected. From these respondents, three groups were created:

Leaders: companies who either have a flexible data and process architecture or use agile interoperable data services

Followers: companies who have integrated data warehouse infrastructure

Laggards: companies who either have localized data processing or decentralized data marts

Alliance Key Manager supports Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) in Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition.

OLYMPIA, WASH. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 11, 2019
Townsend Security today announced Alliance Key Manager, its affordable FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption key manager, supports Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition. Users of Microsoft SQL Server Standard Edition can now easily meet compliance (PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, etc.) and protect private data like customer PII and intellectual property without modifying existing applications or the database. By using the database's Transparent Data Encryption (TDE), coupled with Townsend Security's Alliance Key Manager for SQL Server, organizations can protect their private data at a lower cost.
Alliance Key Manager, a FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption key management solution, allows enterprises to effectively encrypt data and meet security requirements in less time with a flexible, centralized offering. The solution provides full life-cycle management of encryption keys for a wide variety of applications, including Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise and Standard editions.
"We were pleased to see Microsoft announced that SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition would support TDE and EKM, bringing encryption and proper key management without application changes to their popular Standard Edition. By lowering the technical and financial bar to protecting private data, companies of all sizes can easily protect private information," said Patrick Townsend, Founder and CEO of Townsend Security. "Since the initial release of TDE and EKM in Microsoft SQL Server Enterprise ten years ago, we have been proud to offer an affordable, industry leading solution - and now extend that to SQL Server Standard users."
Microsoft SQL Server users can deploy Alliance Key Manager for SQL Server as a hardware security module (HSM), VMware virtual machine, or in the cloud as a native AWS EC2 instance or Microsoft Azure virtual machine. Alliance Key Manager supports seamless migration and hybrid implementations, providing Enterprise's with options for their high availability strategy.
"By providing both on-premise and cloud solutions, Enterprise's can easily rely on a centralized key manager to protect their data regardless of where it resides or will in the future. Further, while key management solutions offered by CSPs provide convenience, they leave an organization's encryption keys accessible to third-party administrators - increasing the risk to their security posture," continued Townsend. "Our simplified licensing model that avoids charging by the number of endpoint databases and number of keys, makes the upgrade to SQL Server 2019 Standard Edition a no-brainer for many Microsoft users. Microsoft has really done well by its customers."
Alliance Key Manager for SQL Server is available for a free 30-day evaluation.
About Alliance Key Manager
Townsend Security's Alliance Key Manager allows enterprises to effectively encrypt data and meet security requirements in less time and at a lower cost. The solution provides full life-cycle management of encryption keys for a wide variety of applications to help organizations meet California CPA, NY-DFS, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. Available at no extra charge, Townsend Security includes ready-to-use security applications (SQL Server, Drupal, more), SDKs, and sample code (Java, C#, Python, Perl, PHP, and more) for developers. Additionally, there are never extra fees for deploying client-side applications.
About Townsend Security
Townsend Security creates data privacy solutions that help organizations meet evolving compliance requirements and mitigate the risk of data breaches and cyber-attacks. Companies worldwide trust Townsend Security's NIST and FIPS 140-2 compliant solutions to meet encryption and key management requirements in PCI DSS, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA/HITECH, FISMA, and other regulatory compliance requirements.

KnowBe4's new Email Exposure Check Pro tool identifies at-risk users within organizations

TAMPA BAY, FLA. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced a new partnership with SpyCloud to enhance its ability to check for exposed emails on the internet.
More than 23 million exposed corporate credentials tied to Fortune 1,000 employees are available for sale on the criminal underground, according to SpyCloud research. That's why it's crucial to have a verification mechanism in place to ensure corporate emails are protected.
The partnership with SpyCloud brings a new and improved version to one of KnowBe4's complimentary tools. The Email Exposure Check Pro (EEC Pro) checks public documents, files and social media for email addresses that have been exposed within organizations. Users' email addresses will be compared against SpyClould's massive database to see if any of their credentials or other personal information were exposed in a data breach.
"Breaches happen every day and it's our job to equip cybersecurity professionals with the best tools to help them fight the bad guys," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "Partnering with an organization like SpyCloud gives KnowBe4 the ability to expand our offerings to the cybersecurity community. They have the largest collection of recovered breach data in the world with nearly 80 billion records, which will help KnowBe4's customers and users of the EEC Pro tool stay ahead of account takeover."
"Most people don't know when their data has been compromised, making the average internet user and their employer targets for account takeovers and follow-on attacks," said Chris LaConte, chief strategy officer at SpyCloud. "Through this partnership, SpyCloud's data will help KnowBe4 customers proactively remediate exposed passwords as soon as they start circulating in cybercriminal circles, reducing the risk of successful account takeover attacks."

Cashmere company expects to transform product development and drive expansion with Centric Software

CAMPBELL, CALIF. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 10, 2019
NAADAM, the ethical cashmere brand, has selected Centric Software's Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) solution. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury, consumer goods and home décor companies to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
What started as an unexpected visit to the Mongolian countryside turned into creating the fairest, most sustainable and affordable top-of-the-line cashmere the world as ever seen. Founded in 2013 by Matthew Scanlan and Diederik Rijsemus, NAADAM has a direct-to-consumer business model that keeps prices affordable while ensuring that goat herders in Mongolia who produce their cashmere are fairly rewarded and supported. NAADAM is growing rapidly and recently expanded its brands with the relaunch of the Thakoon designer womenswear brand.
Previously, NAADAM had a PLM system, but needed a more all-encompassing solution to achieve transparency, improve vendor collaboration and sustain rapid growth.
"We want to grow in a healthy manner, maintaining consistency across our entire supply chain and brand offering," says Noah Roswig, Senior Vice President of Operations at NAADAM. "Our existing PLM system couldn't handle the level of complexity, standardization and organization necessary to expand our brands, channels, geographies, categories and teams while keeping standards high."
NAADAM selected Centric Fashion PLM because of its user-friendly approach and ability to comprehensively handle every aspect of the product lifecycle.
"Centric offers a complete package with a great reputation in the industry and features that will help us achieve our end goals, such as clear milestones and calendarization across multiple brands and channels, complex historical change-tracking of product attributes across seasons and real-time vendor portal communication," says Roswig.
"NAADAM expects to scale the business significantly with Centric Fashion PLM as a digital foundation," adds Roswig.
"We will gain greater oversight and control of a hectic and multi-faceted process. We expect that Centric will allow us to scale our business upwards to many multiples of where we are now, while maintaining a consistent approach to every product. Centric's organized and user-friendly platform will make it easier to onboard new team members as we grow."
"We are delighted to welcome NAADAM as our latest customer," says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. "We are confident that Centric Fashion PLM will enable NAADAM to continue on a path of sustainable and healthy growth, and we look forward to partnering with them over the long term."

Reviews
TripAdvisor
"I went with my family and we were absolutely blown away. The booking and waiver process online was very good and easy, and we played Asylum. All the staff was incredibly friendly, especially our Escape Artist Nicole. The room itself was very well designed and intricately planned and reset, and though we didn't manage to escape we still left satisfied and challenged. We can't wait to come back and play the rest of the rooms!"- Stefan J. July 2019
Yelp
"First and foremost my family and I love escape rooms! We found America's Escape Game walking around as it's near our hotel. When we first walked in we got a chance to meet Chandler. He was welcoming and knowledgeable and just a gem to encounter. We ultimately chose the "The Contract" room. We had Agent J as our guide and he was awesome! The aesthetic's were great and the puzzles were challenging and thought provoking! I loved the fact there were side games in this room and would highly recommend anyone doing this! We plan on visiting when we return and my husband and I are talking about doing another room before our plane leaves out in the morning. One of our favorite places so far and we love the way they treat their military guests" Aisha B. July 2019

BIA's Data Breach Discovery service takes bronze in Most Innovative Service of the Year category

NEW YORK (PRWEB) DECEMBER 11, 2019
BIA, a leading national eDiscovery and digital forensics company, announced today that the company has been named a bronze winner for Most Innovative Service of the Year in the Best in Biz Awards, the only independent business awards program judged by prominent editors and reporters from top-tier publications in North America. The award is for the company's Data Breach Discovery service, which was launched in 2019.
With more than 700 entries, the 9th annual award program attracted a record number of entries from an impressive array of public and private companies of all sizes and spanning all geographic regions and industries in the U.S. and Canada. Best in Biz Awards 2019 honors were conferred in 80 different categories.
"We are honored and excited to be recognized for our work in helping companies respond to data breaches. We pride ourselves on being a company of innovators, and this latest award for Innovative Service of the Year is further proof that we are living up to those standards," said BIA's President and CEO Brian Schrader. "Our Data Breach Discovery service provides an uncommon, but needed, approach to data breach response, saving our clients time, money and any further grief from breach or compliance issues."
Data breaches have become extremely common and their effects run deep and wide. In 2018 there were an astounding 2,216 data breaches reported worldwide, according to Verizon's 2019 Data Breach Investigations Report. Each breach costs the affected company an average of $3.92 million, according to IBM Security's 2019 Cost of a Data Breach Report.
Because of the high risk to personally identifiable information (PII) – including names, phone numbers, email addresses or even license and social security numbers – national and state governments have established regulations to minimize the damage from data breaches. The regulations require infringed companies to identify stolen data and notify affected individuals within a very short timeframe. When a company with sensitive data is hacked, it's crucial to act quickly and correctly. However, few companies have access to technology that allows them to quickly dive into all data, find specifically who was affected and what of their information was taken, and provide the necessary reporting back to the government and stakeholders.
That's why the eDiscovery and digital forensics experts at BIA established Data Breach Discovery in early 2019. This innovative service combines cybersecurity methodologies, eDiscovery technology and proprietary, defined workflows to quickly, securely and cost-effectively identify data that was compromised during a breach.
"Our company was already using multiple sophisticated technologies and data management processes for digital forensics, electronic discovery and in-depth analytics in litigation. We realized we could use our existing technologies and people and could modify processes to provide a new service – one that, unfortunately, is needed more and more often," said Schrader. "Data Breach Discovery – including data collection and assessment, advanced text analytics, cutting-edge database analysis, end-to-end review and forensic investigation – pinpoints compromised data and ensures quick, accurate notification to affected custodians."
Most data breach response providers don't include the identification of compromised individuals in their services or specifics about what of each person's information was affected. Until recently, companies and their legal teams were required to identify and alert all parties on their own. Improperly doing so or taking too long to do it – some states require notification within 30 days – could result in charges of intentionally withholding information, punishable by massive fines.
Data Breach Discovery is able to quickly and accurately identify custodians and specific data, thus complying with regulations and reducing the risk of inadequately notifying affected individuals. The Best in Biz judges agreed, including it as one of the Most Innovative Services of the Year.
Since the program's inception in 2011, Best in Biz Awards' entrants have spanned the spectrum, from the most innovative local companies and start-ups to some of the most recognizable global brands. The 2019 judging panel included, among others, writers from Accounting Today, AdWeek, Associated Press, Barron's, Consumer Affairs, eWeek, Healthcare Innovation News, Inc., Investment Advisor Magazine, USA Today and Wired.

Franz Inc. Acknowledged as a Leader in Knowledge Graph Solutions

OAKLAND, CALIF. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 11, 2019
Franz Inc., an early innovator in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and leading supplier of Graph and Document Database technology for Knowledge Graphs, today announced that it has been named to The 2020 Trend Setting Products in Data Management by Database Trends and Applications (DBTA).
The DBTA Trend-Setting Products for 2020 recognizes products in the marketplace that are both innovative and effective in helping customers address evolving challenges and opportunities.
"The world of data management and analytics continues to evolve rapidly with new technologies and strategies," remarked Thomas Hogan, Group Publisher of Database Trends and Applications. "Cutting through the hype and identifying products that deliver results in the real world is more important than ever. This list highlights products that are truly transformative in bringing greater agility, efficiency and innovation to market."    
"We are honored to receive this acknowledgement for our efforts in delivering Enterprise Knowledge Graph Solutions," said Dr. Jans Aasman, CEO, Franz Inc. "In the past year, we have seen demand for Enterprise Knowledge Graphs take off across industries along with recognition from top technology analyst firms that Knowledge Graphs provide the critical foundation for artificial intelligence applications and predictive analytics. Our AllegroGraph Knowledge Graph Platform Solution offers a unique comprehensive approach for helping companies accelerate the creation of Enterprise Knowledge Graphs that deliver new value to their organization."
Franz's Knowledge Graph Platform Solution includes both technology and services for building industrial strength Knowledge Graphs based on best-of-class tools, products, knowledge, skills and experience. At the core of the solution is Franz's graph database technology, AllegroGraph, which is utilized by dozens of the top F500 companies worldwide and enables businesses to extract sophisticated decision insights and predictive analytics from highly complex, distributed data that cannot be uncovered with conventional databases.
Franz delivers the expertise for designing ontology and taxonomy-based solutions by utilizing standards-based development processes and tools. Franz also offers data integration services from siloed data using W3C industry standard semantics, which can then be continually integrated with information that comes from other data sources. In addition, the Franz data science team provides expertise in custom algorithms to maximize data analytics and uncover hidden knowledge.
Gartner Identifies Digital Ecosystems, Knowledge Graphs and Semantics as Key Technologies for AI
Gartner noted, 5 Trends Appear on the Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2019 , Digital Ecosystems, which includes Knowledge Graphs, as an Emerging Technology with significant impact on business, society and people over the next five to 10 years.    Gartner states, "Digital ecosystems are web-like connections between actors (enterprises, people and things) sharing a digital platform. These ecosystems developed as digitalization morphed traditional value chains, enabling more seamless, dynamic connections to a variety of agents and entities across geographies and industries. In the future these will include decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), which operate independently of humans and rely on smart contracts. These digital ecosystems are constantly evolving and connecting, resulting in new products and opportunities."
In 2018 Gartner first recognized Knowledge Graphs as a key new technology in both their Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence and Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies. Gartner's Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence 2018 states, "The rising role of content and context for delivering insights with AI technologies, as well as recent knowledge graph offerings for AI applications have pulled knowledge graphs to the surface."
Semantics has also been identified by Gartner as critical for effectively utilizing enterprise data assets. "Unprecedented levels of data scale and distribution are making it almost impossible for organizations to effectively exploit their data assets. Data and analytics leaders must adopt a semantic approach to their enterprise data assets or face losing the battle for competitive advantage." (Gartner, How to Use Semantics to Drive the Business Value of Your Data, Guido De Simoni, November 27, 2018) For more information about the Gartner report, visit the Gartner Report Order Page.

Multi-Source Data Masking Software Now Encrypts and Decrypts with Keys in Cloud, VMware, or HSM Platforms

OLYMPIA, WASH. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 12, 2019
Innovative Routines International (IRI), Inc. (http://www.iri.com), a leading provider of data masking software, and Townsend Security (http://www.townsendsecurity.com), a leading authority in data privacy solutions, have enabled IRI FieldShield to use encryption keys stored and managed in Townsend Security's Alliance Key Manager servers. The integration gives DBAs and "data security governance" professional a robust, compliant way to encrypt or decrypt data at rest in many sources.
A multi-year rise of hacking incidents and privacy law violations has driven demand for data-centric security. "Masking data in FieldShield using AES encryption, and protecting those encryption keys with Alliance Key Manager can help mitigate the risk of data breaches, and protect an organization's brand and reputation," observed Patrick Townsend, Founder & CEO of Townsend Security. "This is especially relevant given laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which contemplates encryption of sensitive data in order to avoid class action lawsuits," he added.
FieldShield classifies, discovers, and masks personally identifiable information (PII) in relational and NoSQL databases, and a wide range of structured file formats on-premise or in the cloud. Multiple encryption functions - including format-preserving encryption - are among its 15 masking categories. FieldShield users can assign a unique passphrase to serve as an encryption key for one or more data classes (columns or fields). The keys allow the restoration of original values from ciphertext when used with the corresponding decryption function.
Alliance Key Manager provides the security of TLS-authenticated access to FieldShield passphrases stored in VMware, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, or a private or dedicated Hardware Security Module (HSM). This assures that only authorized users can access the key server and obtain the keys to decrypt.
FieldShield users can generate the keys using either the native command line or web interface to Alliance Key Manager. "Centralizing storage of FieldShield passphrases through Alliance Key Manager not only gives our users FIPS 140-2 compliant key security, but also a more convenient way to manage their encryption keys," according to IRI developer Devon Kozenieski.
About IRI
Founded in 1978, IRI develops fast data management and data-centric security software through 40 cities worldwide. IRI's proven data manipulation engine - and its free Eclipse job design environment - provide uniquely price-performant and versatile data lifecycle solution software for big data and BI/DW architects, data security and compliance teams, DBAs, and developers. Gartner recognizes IRI FieldShield, CellShield, DarkShield as static and dynamic masking solutions for structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data sources.
About Townsend Security
Townsend Security helps enterprises reduce risk, support business continuity, and demonstrate compliance with regulations like PIC DSS, CCPA, HIPAA, and the GDPR. Its Alliance Key Manager platform is a complete encryption key management solution which includes: key server setup and configuration, key lifecycle administration, secure key storage, key import/export, authenticated key access control, server mirroring, and backup/restore. Alliance Key Manager also supports compliance audit logging of all server, key access and configuration functions.

LAKE FOREST, CALIF. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 11, 2019
Ytel, a leading CPaaS company that helps businesses engage more customers using multi-channel communications, announced a partnership with RumbleUp, an advanced P2P texting platform this week. RumbleUp will integrate its platform with Ytel's conversational SMS capabilities and configurable workflows to power more conversations and interactions in new, growing markets.
RumbleUp first saw massive success operating in the political market, offering a robust SMS platform for candidates, advocacy organizations, and non-profits to communicate with potential supporters, donors, voters and constituents. After quickly becoming a leader in this space, RumbleUp saw the opportunity to expand their product offering to other verticals with the right partner. RumbleUp now offers a turnkey solution so clients can join the human texting revolution and be up and texting in less than fifteen minutes. The primary non-political use cases are conversational marketing, scalable communication via text and high-touch customer support.
"Ytel's impressive portfolio in various business sectors and technology platforms made this partnership a no brainer for us," said Thomas Rumbles, RumbleUp CEO. "On the business side, they bring years of working knowledge, technical prowess, and the carrier agility we need to operate successfully. Our clients need to know they have a stable partner as the messaging ecosystem continues to grow and evolve.ir"
As the landscape in which we communicate evolves, so do the consumers. Conversational business messaging is the here and now - and a seamless integration with a CPaaS powerhouse is key for any SMS platform to see real tangible success.

Existing as a partner in business is the driving force in which Ytel operates; the company believes passionately in building and nurturing relationships with like-minded businesses who innovate, take risks, and penetrate new markets boldly.
"Our partnership with RumbleUp has been extremely successful and positive on all fronts," said Nick Newsom, Ytel CEO. "Working with their team has created new opportunities for both teams, and allowed us to learn and explore new markets together. I'm looking forward to a long and healthy relationship."
Using their wide breadth of knowledge from years of experience in various industries, Ytel was able to advise RumbleUp's team on new SMS use cases that would see the most success.
"We respect and appreciate the hands-on approach to business that the entire Ytel team takes to not only integrations, but also partnerships," said Rumbles. "We learned early on that doing business with Ytel meant a partner every step of the way, from implementation and documentation support to providing new use cases in markets we hadn't explored yet - they go above and beyond for their partners in every sense of the word.

Cybereason's researchers have been investigating a new series of hacking campaigns against financial services, manufacturing, and retail businesses across the United States and Europe.

BOSTON (PRWEB) DECEMBER 11, 2019
Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform, today released an investigative research report from its Nocturnus Research Group titled 'Dropping Anchor: From a TrickBot Infection to the Discovery of the Anchor Malware' looking at a new series of hacking campaigns against financial, manufacturing, and retail businesses across the United States and Europe.
"We chose not to discuss attribution in this research but the nature of these attacks, appear to be aligned with the financially-motivated FIN6 threat actor, a group that is known to target POS systems and has been linked to TrickBot infections in the past. The gravity and danger that lies in commodity malware infections have the potential of escalating into a hacking operation with a disastrous outcome, whether it be a ransomware infection or theft of sensitive financial data," said Assaf Dahan, Cybereason, Senior Director, Head of Threat Research.
Earlier this year, Cybereason researchers uncovered a severe threat using the Emotet and TrickBot trojans to deliver Ryuk ransomware. The dropping anchor campaign started with a TrickBot infection and progressed into a hacking operation targeting sensitive financial systems.
While previous operations focused on causing ransomware infections by compromising critical assets like the domain controller, this new operation targets Point-of-Sale (PoS) systems. The campaign leverages a newly discovered malware family called Anchor exclusively for high-profile targets.
Additional Dropping Anchor Research Highlights Include:
Targets POS Systems: The attacks target POS systems to steal sensitive information by taking over critical assets in the victims' network.
Deploys A Backdoor on High-value Targets: On certain high-profile targets, the attackers selectively use a new variant of the rare Anchor_DNS tool.
Anchor_DNS is a backdoor that uses the DNS protocol to stealthily communicate with C2 servers.
Uses a New, Undocumented Malware: In addition to the new Anchor_DNS variant, the attackers use a completely new and previously undocumented malware dubbed Anchor. Anchor has been in operation since August 2018 and appears to be tightly related to TrickBot.
Adds Enhancements to TrickBot: This attack adds a new and enhanced stealing module to TrickBot that focuses on stealing passwords from various products, including the KeePass password manager.
Uses Known Tools for Reconnaissance and Lateral Movement: The majority of the initial interactive hacking operation uses the known tools Meterpreter, PowerShell Empire, and Cobalt Strike for reconnaissance and lateral movement.
Abuses the Trust of Certificate Authorities: Many of the payloads in the attacks are signed binaries, which demonstrates the ever-growing trend of signed threats that abuse the trust of certificate authorities to bypass detection.
About Cybereason
Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform, gives the advantage back to the defender through a completely new approach to cybersecurity. Cybereason offers endpoint prevention, detection and response and active monitoring. The solution delivers multi-layered endpoint prevention by leveraging signature and signatureless techniques to prevent known and unknown threats in conjunction with behavioral and deception techniques to prevent ransomware and fileless attacks.

The digital transformation era is expanding the attack surface and the potential damage for companies is higher than ever. Together with NEC, we will deliver the best cyber defense platform to the Brazilian market, which will help defenders find and eliminate sophisticated breaches faster than any other platform in the world," said Lior Div, Cybereason's Co-Founder and CEO.

BOSTON (PRWEB) DECEMBER 11, 2019
Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform and NEC, a leader in the integration of IT and network technologies, announced a partnership to deliver advanced cybersecurity solutions and services to large and medium enterprises in Brazil.

The connection streamlines the permitting process for the municipality, its staff and its constituents.

GREENWOOD, IND. (PRWEB) DECEMBER 11, 2019
The Indiana Office of Secretary of State contracted with Woolpert to build application programming interfaces (APIs) to connect Greenwood, Ind., to the INBiz portal. This connection, which recently went live, streamlines the city's permitting processes internally and externally. Greenwood employs Cityworks Permits, Licensing and Land (PLL) software. The municipality is the first to integrate its local permit management system with the state's INBiz solution to streamline its permitting processes.
INBiz is a statewide resource that partners with the Office of Secretary of State, Department of Workforce Development and the Department of Revenue to facilitate business registration, management, and compliance with state laws and regulations. Since the portal went live in 2016, it has grown to include nearly 400,000 users.
Woolpert is overseeing the analysis, design, development, and unit testing of identified APIs and integration points with Cityworks and supports the state's INBiz team as it incorporates these integration tools into the INBiz product. Woolpert Project Manager Roy Interrante said these custom APIs provide the "appropriate hooks" to connect the portal with Greenwood's Cityworks permit management system. Woolpert Lead Developer Bryan de Jesus added that APIs allow data to be pushed through to a database in a controlled way.
"APIs mimic the user, so you have the advantage of the application's logic controlling the data entry," de Jesus said. "We've developed APIs in the past for integrating Cityworks with other systems. As the number of Cityworks-offered APIs has grown, our library of custom integration tools has been replaced with out-of-the-box options. When there are not existing APIs for a specific integration requirement, as is the case here, we develop custom APIs."
Interrante said the APIs created for this project are scalable to other Cityworks PLL solutions. "Essentially, any municipality in the state that uses Cityworks to manage permit applications and wants to integrate with the INBiz portal can connect via these APIs," he said.
Greenwood GIS Manager Tom Maggard said the integration is a great benefit to the city.
"This integration allows us to leverage the existing customer base, some of which do work in Greenwood, in INBiz," Maggard said. "This lets those companies create and manage Greenwood permits in an environment in which they are familiar and comfortable, 24 hours a day."
Cityworks Partner Manager Emily Dux said Woolpert's technical experience with Cityworks made the firm an essential addition to this project.
"Woolpert knows our software inside and out and has experts who are familiar with all aspects of our product," Dux said. "It's one thing to be able to implement a system, and it's another thing to integrate that system with various external enterprise applications. Developing a robust set of integration tools that are used to build integrations is a whole other level. For that, you really need to understand how our product functions.
"For a complex and groundbreaking project like this, we wanted to make sure it was done right," she added. "That's why we brought in Woolpert."
Interrante noted that connecting Cityworks to application portals like INBiz will be a game-changer for many cities.
"Cityworks has proved to be invaluable to municipalities across the country, digitally organizing and managing permit application processes," Interrante said. "We are happy to have the capability to extend and improve access to this dynamic software, and we appreciate the faith that Cityworks has in us."
