The University of Maryland spearheads the Maryland Quantum Alliance—a regional consortium of Md, DC, and Va quantum scientists and engineers from across academia, national laboratories and industry—launches

COLLEGE PARK, MD (PRWEB) JANUARY 31, 2020
The Maryland Quantum Alliance—a regional consortium of quantum scientists and engineers from across academia, national laboratories and industry—launched with an event in the Maryland House of Delegates Office Building, and was recognized on the floor of the Maryland House of Delegates. Led by the University of Maryland, College Park (UMD), members of this alliance will drive quantum science discovery and innovation, develop pioneering quantum technologies and train the quantum workforce of tomorrow for the state of Maryland, the region and the nation.
The announcement comes at a pivotal time when quantum science research is expanding beyond physics into materials science, engineering, computer science and chemistry. Scientists across these disciplines are finding ways to exploit quantum physics to build powerful computers, develop secure communication networks and improve sensing capabilities. In the future, quantum technology may also impact fields like artificial intelligence and medicine.
The state of Maryland already leads the way in this crucial transition, with an existing workforce that spans academia, government and private-sector companies. Scientists and engineers at the University of Maryland, College Park and other institutions in the state and region already are collaborating across these areas to tackle the challenges associated with deploying quantum technology.
"With our great strength in quantum science, computing and innovation, we are well positioned to lead this initiative," said University of Maryland President Wallace D. Loh. "By combining the strength of neighboring universities, federal labs and businesses, this initiative can make the whole region into a quantum powerhouse."
Already a major hub for quantum science and technology, UMD hosts five collaborative research centers focused on different aspects of quantum science and technology: The Joint Quantum Institute (JQI) and the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS) are collaborations with the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The Quantum Technology Center (QTC) brings together UMD engineers and physicists to work on translating quantum physics into transformational new technologies. The Condensed Matter Theory Center has made pioneering contributions to topological approaches to quantum computing, and the Quantum Materials Center explores superconductors and novel quantum materials to enable new technology devices.
UMD played a key role in advocating for last year's National Quantum Initiative Act that positions quantum information science and technology at the top of the U.S. science and technology agenda and provides $1.275 billion over five years for research. The university also is part of the Quantum Information Edge, a new nationwide alliance of U.S. national labs, universities and industry launched to advance the frontiers of quantum computing systems.
Maryland Quantum Alliance is currently comprised of the University of Maryland, College Park; University of Maryland, Baltimore County; Morgan State University; Johns Hopkins University; George Mason University; MITRE; Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory; CCDC Army Research Laboratory; Northrop Grumman; Lockheed Martin; IonQ; Qrypt; Booz Allen Hamilton; and Amazon Web Services.
In the alliance, government and academic researchers will look for new ways to work with companies both large and small to support steady progress on quantum technology research and enable its move into the marketplace.
"Quantum information science will provide important capabilities for our Warfighter," said Dr. Pat Baker, CCDC Army Research Laboratory Director. "We are excited about a Maryland Quantum Alliance of strong regional institutions in this field to help accelerate research and transformational impact as part of persistent Army modernization."
Maryland Quantum Alliance members will also work on developing cross-disciplinary educational programs in physics, engineering, materials science and computer science that will produce the necessary workforce educated in quantum science.

Morrow discusses the present and future role of actuarial science in predicting risk and directing health plan decisions.

BOSTON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2020
Mr. Morrow earned an MBA from University of Denver-Daniels College of Business. He is an accomplished healthcare actuary and leader focusing on innovating health care, developing teams and creating systems to drive sustainable results. Prior to joining BST, Mr. Morrow served in a number or senior roles with AON, most recently as their Chief Actuary and Health Analytics Leader where he led a team of 300 actuaries, underwriters and data scientists dedicated to improving clients' health and benefit programs. In his senior management role at BST, Michael brings an actuarial perspective to the company's healthcare analytics platform and provides counsel on the actuarial implications of business strategies and regulatory changes.
1. What was your role prior to coming to Benefits Science Technologies?
A: I have worked as a health risk actuary for over 25 years, with some of the largest national carriers and with more regional plans. Most recently, I served as US Chief Actuary for Aon Health Consulting, where I led several hundred actuaries, underwriters and data scientists. My focus at Aon was finding innovative new ways to create value for large, self-insured clients while increasing our ability to scale actuarial services to clients of all sizes. I championed the adoption of machine learning and artificial intelligence in our actuarial work to improve client analytics. This included the development of several analytical tools for benefit benchmarking, strategic plan design formulation and provider evaluation.
2. What is your role at BST?
A: I've observed that many firms in this space think about actuarial science and data science separately; sometimes they have two entirely independent teams that rarely interact. BST recognizes that modern data science techniques are natural enhancements and compliments to traditional actuarial work. As such, my role is to help merge the two disciplines within the firm in order to deliver the most powerful and advanced analytics for our customers, focused on improving health and lowering costs. Our actuaries and data scientists are part of an integrated team that drives the strategy and service delivery for the company. I get to work with some of the brightest data scientists in the world to advance actuarial science in the health industry, which is an amazing opportunity for me.
3. You've had a pretty varied career path, what attracted you to BST?
A: One of the highlights of my career was helping to build an innovation center in Singapore to enhance analytical capabilities for benefits consultants around the world. This experience illustrated how a small, focused team can make a huge difference – even in a mature industry. The company culture at Benefits Science is similar to what I loved most in this prior role, but the potential value we can create is even larger. Our data science expertise is industry-leading and the analytical focus of this team is incredible. BST is the tip of the spear when it comes to advancing health analytics for risk-bearing entities, and I knew I wanted to be part of this team. It all comes down to helping employers, and ultimately employees, make smarter healthcare choices. The capabilities that we bring to bear today, and the ones being developed are leading the industry and represent how future healthcare decisions will be made. There is nowhere else I'd want to be.
4. How is the role of the actuary changing the healthcare arena?
A: Healthcare spending is anticipated to rise by an average of 5 to 6 percent per year over the next decade, and most employers do not want to pass on these increases to their workers. The cost-shifting strategies of the past are unsustainable, as well as wildly unpopular with employees, and can lead to unintended health consequences. As such, companies have tried to combat rising costs in diverse and creative ways, including disease management programs, wellness initiatives, behavioral health coaching, and even corporate sleep disorder programs. While all these programs are enacted with the best of intentions, unfortunately, they often don't produce results for a given population.
This is the perfect environment for a health actuary to add value. Through a detailed analysis of an employer's claims and health plan membership, we can not only determine what conditions will generate future claims, we can also recommend solutions to reduce these claim costs and improve health proactively. We also need to continually review the performance of each vendor our clients implement to ensure the health program remains optimized. In this way, we can truly bend the cost curve while ensuring employees receive the very best care.
5. Interesting, can you give a specific example of how this helps solve a real-world problem?
A: When I was consulting with employers, most of my clients had invested in claims data warehouses and descriptive analytics. These analytics could identify some health problems retrospectively. In one client situation, we observed that the diabetic population had been slowly increasing over the past two years and had become a large driver of overall spend. As such, we recommended some diabetes management vendors to help manage costs and improve employee health conditions. Together, we conducted an extensive RFP and implemented a program the following year. Ultimately the program proved to be successful, but I could not help but wonder how we could have moved faster. Today, using BST's predictive analytics, we would have been able to identify this issue in advance of it even becoming a cost driver. As importantly, we can use our prescriptive technology to narrow down the potential solutions and focus on those vendors whose solutions work best for a given employer's population. Ultimately, we'll be able to help employees stay healthy while creating substantial cost savings for employers.
6. How do you see these types of advancements impacting the future of healthcare analysis?
A: The data warehouse movement in employer health care opened up the "black box" of health costs and gave employers the ability to understand and react to cost drivers. However, this was only the first step in the journey. We need to transform this sea of claims data into predictive and actionable insights, so that employers and consultants can proactively build optimized health plans for their employees. This is the mission of Benefits Science – to drive incredible value for employees and employers through predictive and prescriptive analytics using the most advanced data science and actuarial techniques.
About Benefits Science Technologies
BST provides data analytics software/analysis to help manage the risk of self-funded health plans. Plan holders improve their connection to data, empowering optimal decisions to control costs, and improve the quality of care for plan members. The company distributes these capabilities to employers directly, through brokers/consultants, or by association with carriers (stop-loss and voluntary benefits providers), benefits administrators, PEOs, TPAs, PBMs, and/or cost-containment providers.
Founded in 2012, the company is recognized as a world-leading research and applied science team, applying advanced analytics and Robust Optimization to complex health insurance decisions. Led by a 30-year MIT professor and Co-Director of the Operations Research Center, the MIT-trained team combines world-class technical knowledge and practical financial experience

The expanded database will not only enable Steel City Re to underwrite and insure companies in the new markets, but to enhance its capabilities across its portfolio.

PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2020
Steel City Re, an innovator in corporate reputation risk management and insurances, has added Australian and Swiss firms to its actuarial database. The 341 Australian firms and 162 Swiss firms boost the weekly global reputation risk surveillance to approximately 7,800 entities. The expanded database will not only enable Steel City Re to underwrite and insure companies in the new markets, but to enhance its capabilities across its portfolio.
"Rapidly evolving environmental, social, and governance expectations have materially increased companies' risk of serious consequences when stakeholders feel disappointed and angry," noted Steel City Re CEO Nir Kossovsky. "Our solutions help firms and their leadership avoid that scenario through assessment, underwriting and support for enterprise-wide reputation risk management activities – functions that are becoming increasingly challenging as companies need to satisfy diverse and expanding groups of stakeholders.
Steel City Re released last week a study (https://steelcityre.com/2020/01/29/white-paper-equity-impact/) showing how the severe impacts to stock price can be diminished – during and after a reputational crisis – through strategic preemptive steps that can be taken by governance, finance and risk management executives. Among the relevant findings were that the greater the percentage of intangible assets on companies' balance sheets, the steeper the declines in stock price when crises occur.
The new Australian firms have an average market capitalization of 4,400 of which 73% is intangible. The new Swiss firms have an average market capitalization of 18,000 of which 62% is intangible.
Steel City Re employs principles of informational and behavioral economics to provide reputation risk management and insurance solutions. It pioneered the field of parametric reputation insurances using synthetic measures of reputational value. Steel City Re is an overseas advisor to the Lloyd's of London syndicate, Tokio Marine Kiln.

iTRACE Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of supply chain security applications for anti grey market and anti counterfeit, and Leuze, a global leader in automation sensors, announced today the integration of iTRACE 2DMI with the Leuze DCR 200i Camera Based Code Reader for Blockchain registration and authentication.

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2020
iTRACE helps brands fight the issues of counterfeit, grey market, diversion and production overrun of their products with its blockchain connected 2DMI supply chain security. With the integration of 2DMI with the Leuze DCR 200i range of camera-based code readers, customers are now able to capture transaction and authentication information automatically anywhere in the supply chain.
"The integration of the Leuze DCR 200i camera-based code reader is using our standard mobile application infrastructure which allows these industrial sensors to automatically capture the same information as the iPhone and Android devices anywhere in the supply chain," said iTRACE Founder and CEO Mark Manning. "This means that any system can now automatically participate in track, trace and authentication of any item or component and push that data to a blockchain or tracking database via the iTRACE Blockchain Gateway."
Using iTRACE 2DMI and the DCR 200i allows the part being scanned to be securely identified and the transaction recorded on digital ledger technologies like blockchain, enabling a secure connection between the physical product and the digital ledger which is necessary to complete any blockchain tracking or authentication application. The key to the security of the application is the ability to create the digital twin of the physical product to ensure that is the original item that is scanned at each location.
Leuze has recognized that "iTRACE 2DMI provides a much higher level of security and damage resistance than QR-Code, Data Matrix and 1D Barcodes are able to do," said Joerg Woerner, Business Development Manager at Leuze. "This makes the combination of the DCR 200i and 2DMI ideal for difficult and harsh environment applications in aerospace, automotive and medical device".
Leuze.
Forerunner. Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow.
With curiosity and determination, the Sensor People from Leuze have pioneered technological milestones in industrial automation for over 50 years. They are driven by the success of their customers.

NXTsoft launches a new website and completes rebranding, absorbing ThreatAdvice, Integrated Legacy Solutions and CCMC under the NXtsoft name.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2020
NXTsoft (http://www.nxtsoft.com), a company focused on delivering secure data solutions to the market space has consolidated three of its companies under the NXTsoft name. The solutions of ThreatAdvice, a company that delivers cybersecurity management tools and education to businesses and organizations of all types, ILS, a company that helps financial institutions access or convert legacy data cost effectively and efficiently, and CCMC, a company that helps FinTech companies and financial institutions connect solutions through the use of secure, open APIs, are now all housed under the NXTsoft name and divided into two platforms – ThreatAdvice and Omni.
The ThreatAdvice platform will house the following solutions: ThreatAdvice Educate, online employee cybersecurity training and awareness, ThreatAdvice vCISO, NXTsoft's flagship software solution that facilitates the management and oversight for all of a company's cybersecurity components and ThreatAdvice Command Center, a cybersecurity solution that enterprise businesses and managed service providers can utilize for cybersecurity management.
The Omni Platform will house the former Integrated Legacy Solutions product line now called OmniData, the former CCMC product line now called OmniConnect and Omnilytics. OmniData offers financial institutions three types of plans that they can employ to access legacy data due to a core conversion, branch acquisition or platform change. OmniConnect assists FinTech companies and financial institutions with connecting their technologies and core platforms utilizing secure APIs. Previously in 2019 FIMAC Solutions was absorbed into the NXTsoft brand. Its solutions have been renamed OmiLytics Risk Analytics ALM, OmniLytics CECL and OmniLytics Deposit Study.
Commensurate with these changes, Rich Longo has been named president of the Omni Platform and Kris Bishop has been named chief revenue officer, overseeing sales for both platforms. Jason Asbury remains as president of the ThreatAdvice platform. The heads of development for the companies have been named senior vice presidents of development for NXTsoft under the chief technology officer, Will Blackburn. Jason Alfano previously with ILS will focus on data solutions development, Chris Ellis previously with CCMC will focus on API development, and Lee Smith previously with ThreatAdvice will focus on cybersecurity solutions development."
NXTsoft is launching a website refresh today and also consolidating all the former company social media accounts under the NXTsoft brand.
"Our goal for NXTsoft for 2020 is a clear vision for the future," said Andy McMakin, president of NXTsoft. All of the companies that are now a part of NXTsoft have an excellent reputation in the marketplace, but we realized that we weren't clearly communicating the breadth of services that NXTsoft now offers. Thus, we decided to consolidate the disparate brands under the NXTsoft names and we took that opportunity to restructure our solutions to make our messaging more distinct," he said

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2020
CAUSE + EFFECT Strategy https://causeandeffectstrategy.com/, a business intelligence firm, marked its fifth year in business and announced continued double-digit growth for the third consecutive year, demonstrating the success of its unique capabilities and approach to helping companies optimize through digital innovation. The company, named by AdWeek as one of the 100 fastest growing agencies in the world, has reached impressive milestones since its inception, including expanding capabilities to focus on business intelligence, securing top talent, adding new analytic capabilities, and building an impressive client roster that includes companies across multiple data-rich industries.

We are excited to help more companies harness the enormous potential of data and leverage it to radically transform their organizations."
Helping Organizations Drive Efficiencies and Adapt to Evolving Processes
Reports(1) show that among the biggest challenges companies face when undergoing digital transformation and adopting a data driven culture—which are top-priority strategies for many businesses—are related to people and process. This is where CE Strategy helps.

The data is leveraged to develop and guide strategies that address key areas of clients' businesses, including marketing, operations, fundraising, and human capital management. It can be used, for instance, to optimize operations, help organizations more effectively target and engage with prospective customers, and mitigate churn before it takes place.
Realizing the potential that data has to transform entire organizations, CE Strategy shifted its focus from marketing intelligence to overall business intelligence and last year changed its name to reflect its broader capabilities. Its core services include the aggregation and visualization of data, insight through data science, development of business strategy, and continuous optimization and measurement.
Since its inception, CE Strategy has reached impressive milestones, including:

Achieved three consecutive years of double digit year-over-year growth

Named among AdWeek's Top 100 Fastest Growing Agencies

Boosted its senior leadership team with the addition of Amy Gurske, who has held management positions at Grainger and Amazon, and brings a wealth of analytics, supply chain management experience, and a PhD in organizational psychology to the business

Invested in business technology and staff, including machine learning and cloud-based capabilities, to allow for faster delivery of insights and development of strategy, and make it easier for clients to leverage data to impact their bottom lines

Looking Ahead: Promoting the Power of Data
CE Strategy plans to continue strengthening relationships with its current clients that span multiple industry verticals, including advertising, B2B, financial services, fundraising, higher education, politics, and retail industries. It hopes to attract new clients by continually demonstrating the enormous value of its distinct approach to providing data insight and business strategy to drive a company's retention and growth. CE Strategy also plans to add staff in the coming year so that it may continue to innovate and support its growing client base.

With all eyes on Artificial Intelligence, it's perceptible that this technology will largely impact the future of the real estate. It will be disruptive and will eliminate comfortable practices, but it will also save a vast amount of time and money when it comes to operational productivity and client assistance. Its ability to collect and analyze from an inflow of data is sure to make agents more efficient, brokers more decisive, and clients ultimately more empowered to experience the buying and selling process with a tap on the screens of their phones. - TruConnectRE.Com

FALLS CHURCH, VA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2020
Artificial intelligence is here and there are no signs of it slowing down. From countering credit card fraud to recommending shows on Netflix, the explosive growth of AI started in 2010. According to a survey conducted by PwC, 63% of people agree that AI will help solve complicated problems that have infested societies today, and 59% acknowledge that AI will serve in helping people live more fulfilling lives. With its potential to revolutionize and render more efficiency, Artificial intelligence is infiltrating the real estate industry very quickly.
Searching for a new home can be overwhelming. Today, there are real estate portals that recommend properties touching characteristics such as the area, price, number of rooms, square footage, etc, more often than not, displaying far more information than homebuyers need. On the other hand, we have realtors. Without the help of AI, the agent has to go through the glacial process of marketing, gathering leads, finding the right buyer and then following up.
In 2017, the value of the real estate industry amounted to 134.3 billion U.S. dollars and has been forecast to expand to almost 200 billion U.S. dollars by 2022 ONLY if it manages to adapt to the fast-growing technology today. Thanks to PwC, it has been estimated that if the industry keeps up with Artificial Intelligence, it is predicted to add more than $15 trillion to the global GDP in the next decade. Now the question is, how many real estate industries are picking up the pace to contribute to the number?
To name some heavy hitters, Zillow and Realtor.com introduced models using AI that uncover a quality resource to collect and scour real estate leads, giving the realtor a head start on sales, recurrently filling their funnels with potential clients. Zillow's model exhibits creativity but it charges an upfront fee, locking the agent in a contract whether they get to close a deal or not. On the contrary, OpCity (Owned by Realtor.com) offers a comparatively better business model where it charges agents upon a successful closing. However, the referral fee is 35-38% and the leads are not guaranteed. This unpredictability is a flaw. A more reliable, labor-saving Real Estate model? TruConnectRE.Com.
A trailblazer in administering technology and implementing Artificial intelligence, TruConnect Real Estate is eliminating the diffidence faced by other models. Here's how.
With its effective lead generation system that uses both, inbound and outbound marketing to engage buyers, TruConnect tailors and manages marketing material for the realtor by establishing an all-in-one platform. Being completely invested in the agent's gain, it not only provides them with solid leads but also offers a complete solution to the problems they're facing. With its technologically intelligent, data-driven and human-powered approach, TruConnectRE.Com provides the realtor with advanced software to manage and track the leads provided. The cherry on top? TruConnectRE only charges the agent a 25% referral fee after a closing! Yes, that's right. The referral is only paid once the lead provided to you has evolved!
This system frees up time for the realtor to focus on the latent buyer, closing 2 to 5 times the deals they ordinarily do. They are introduced to screened and potential clients and are left to form a relationship and come to arbitration.
With all eyes on Artificial Intelligence, it's perceptible that this technology will largely impact the future of the real estate. It will be disruptive and will eliminate comfortable practices, but it will also save a vast amount of time and money when it comes to operational productivity and client assistance. Its ability to collect and analyze from an inflow of data is sure to make agents more efficient, brokers more decisive, and clients ultimately more empowered to experience the buying and selling process with a tap on the screens of their phones.

Trulioo, the leading global identity verification provider, today announced the appointment of Lisa Stanton to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Stanton is currently an executive at American Express and brings decades of finance and security expertise to support Trulioo's mission of verifying the globe.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2020
Trulioo, the leading global identity verification provider, today announced the appointment of Lisa Stanton to its Board of Directors, effective immediately. Stanton is currently an executive at American Express and will help guide Trulioo along its mission to verify the globe.

InAuth analyzes device and associated identities to ensure trust across digital channels. As CEO, she helped secure the company's Series A funding round and built a world-class team and client roster, which led to American Express to become a customer, an investor, and ultimately the acquirer.
"I've known Trulioo for years and really admire what the team has built. I always considered Trulioo to be the most innovative player in the digital identity space and way ahead of the competition," said Stanton. "As digital fraud and ID theft continue to rise and as two billion people still lack access to traditional banking, now is a critical time to leverage the power of digital ID and risk mitigation solutions to solve these complex challenges. Existing Trulioo customers understand that digital identification is opening the door to expanded, more personal and secure relationships with users, and I'm eager to be a part of its mission to verify the globe."
"Lisa brings serious credentials to our Board of Directors and she is an ideal addition to our already impressive board," said Stephen Ufford, CEO of Trulioo. "Her deep, extensive work across a wide range of traditional finance, security and fintech companies will be a massive asset to Trulioo as we continue our strong momentum from 2019 and enter a period of significant growth."
Prior to joining InAuth, Stanton was the founder of the U.S. division of Monitise, hosting a mobile banking and payments platform for hundreds of banks and credit unions. Stanton also spent 17 years at Citizens Financial Group in a variety of leadership roles and was the SVP of Payments and Distribution prior to leaving in 2007.

SILVER SPRING, MD. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 03, 2020
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has selected Kathleen Carroll as the 2020 recipient of the SIA Committee Chair of the Year Award, which recognizes individuals for excellence in leading SIA committees and advancing member objectives. SIA will present Carroll with the honor at The Advance, SIA's annual membership meeting, during ISC West.
Carroll chairs the SIA Data Privacy Advisory Board and is the founder and managing partner of Seven Seas Strategic Communications, a full-service public relations and government affairs firm offering strategic planning, writing, media relations and event planning. With more than 30 years of experience, she has worked with companies in diverse industries, designing public relations and government affairs programs and strategies that help build business and garner attention and support for clients' key goals and objectives.

"I am honored to be recognized as Chairperson of the Year. The Data Privacy Advisory Board members have made it easy to chair this committee, and I thank them for their commitment, dedication and active participation," said Carroll. "I am also grateful to SIA for recognizing early on that privacy and security should be complementary. As important has been the support that the advisory board has received from Ron Hawkins and the rest of the SIA staff. Educating and informing the security industry about data privacy motivates me daily, and chairing the Data Privacy Advisory Board allows me to work with like-minded leaders in the industry to spread the word. Privacy matters."
SIA's Data Privacy Advisory Board provides information and best practices to help SIA members handle sensitive data in a safe and secure manner to protect the personally identifiable information of their employees, partners and customers from potential breaches. The board leverages the collective expertise of industry professionals, law enforcement, security practitioners and data privacy experts to inform and educate SIA member companies about methods for mitigating the risk of data breaches.
As chair of the Data Privacy Advisory Board, Carroll has spearheaded a number of notable efforts, including outreach to key integrators, office visits to members of Congress, the development of the Data Privacy Microlearning Series – a self-paced online course exploring key privacy issues, regulations and risks – and the creation of a data privacy primer for the security industry and several additional data privacy resources, including guidance documents to help firms navigate the business impact of the California Consumer Privacy Act and Europe's General Data Protection Regulation. Additionally, Carroll authored an opinion letter on the need for a federal privacy law that was published in the New York Times.
"During her time as advisory board chair, Kathleen Carroll has increased awareness of data privacy issues throughout the security industry," said Don Erickson, SIA CEO. "Kathleen's leadership has helped position SIA as a thought leader on this critical issue, and we look forward to recognizing her for her outstanding achievements at The Advance this year."
The Advance will take place during ISC West 2020 on Tuesday, March 17, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to the presentation of the Committee Chair of the Year Award, attendees will enjoy a high-impact presentation from William Wilkins, executive director of global security operations at Valero Energy Corporation, on the chief security officer framework and key lessons for security professionals.

The State of Georgia has joined the quickly growing ranks of states across the country in recognizing that the lack of a standardized common operating picture being available to first responders continues to slow response times and needlessly complicates the coordination of emergency resources.

EWING, N.J. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 04, 2020
The State of Georgia has joined the quickly growing ranks of states across the country in recognizing that the lack of a standardized common operating picture being available to first responders continues to slow response times and needlessly complicates the coordination of emergency resources.
Known as "America's Common Operating Picture", CRGs are sophisticated, yet simple to use visual communication and collaboration tools that are useable under stress to coordinate emergency response efforts both inside and outside a building. CRGs enhance response time and improve command and control efforts during any emergency.
"The Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police is committed to introducing straight forward, common sense solutions to public safety. We believe Collaborative Response Graphics will increase the readiness level for public safety professionals during emergency responses. They have been recognized as a protective measure best practice, so we're proud to be partnered with Critical Response Group in the State of Georgia," said Chief A. A. Butch Ayers (Ret), Executive Director of the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police.
CRGs were born from lessons learned by the United States Military Special Operations community overseas. Like domestic first responders, our military faced the challenge of communicating about unfamiliar locations while under stress. To solve this problem, they developed a visual communication tool that combined a gridded overlay with high-resolution overhead imagery so that operators could easily and effectively communicate about unfamiliar locations.
Critical Response Group enhanced that communication technique by creating CRGs to solve the same problems encountered here at home. CRGs are designed to be standardized common operating pictures that combine geo-rectified accurate floor plans, up to date site-specific labeling, high-resolution imagery and a gridded overlay. They allow everyone at an incident to easily communicate locations and coordinate their response during life-saving efforts.
"We feel extremely fortunate to partner with the GACP and look forward to working with them to enhance safety preparedness efforts across Georgia. Critical Response Group is committed to integrating CRGs to improve response protocols and enhance command and control efforts during an emergency. Our company's origins are grounded in thousands of real-life direct-action raids conducted by USSOF over the past two decades and dozens of county-wide deployments domestically," said Phil Coyne, President of Critical Response Group.
Members of the Critical Response Group leadership team have strong personal ties to the State of Georgia. The company has also been working with ACG Solutions, a Cornelia, Georgia based company, for the past two years and together have been able to introduce our products to several counties in the state. With the addition of this strategic partnership with the GACP we are excited about the future.

TORONTO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 04, 2020

CHICAGO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 04, 2020
Global sales enablement leader Showpad today announces the appointment of three sales leaders who together will be responsible for driving the company's continued global growth in 2020.
Dustin Deno joins the Showpad team as VP North American Sales and Hendrik Isebaert and Jim Preston have been promoted to SVP of Worldwide Revenue and VP EMEA Sales, respectively.
In their roles, Deno, Isebaert and Preston will bring Showpad's complete and flexible sales enablement solution to more marketers and sellers around the world. This announcement comes on the heels of an exciting 2019, with a $70M Series D funding round, new additions to Showpad's leadership team with the appointments of Matt Miller and Helen Yu and an expansion of the company's Partner Program.
"We are thrilled to welcome Dustin into the Showpad family, and to elevate Jim and Hendrik as leaders in our sales organization," said Pieterjan Bouten, co-founder and CEO at Showpad. "Each of them have a proven track record of success and driving growth in scaling organizations. But even more importantly, they embody our values and demonstrate the vision, leadership and energy to continue our momentum for years to come."

"Showpad has experienced immense growth in the year that I've been here - and it's been incredible to be a part of," said Preston. "I'm honored and excited to take on this new role and continue bringing the power of sales enablement to marketing and sales teams across EMEA. I'm more optimistic than ever about the opportunity we have in front of us and our ability to execute and become the sales enablement solution for companies around the world."
Hendrik Isebaert, SVP of Worldwide Revenue
Hendrik Isebaert has been promoted to SVP of Worldwide Revenue. In his role, Isebaert will oversee the organization's global sales, partnership and enablement operations. He is uniquely poised to lead Showpad's sales organization into the future, having previously served as both the Senior VP of Sales and most recently, Managing Director for EMEA during his time at the company. Before joining the Showpad team, Isebaert came from Procter & Gamble, where he served as the Go-to-Market Strategy Manager in Brussels, Belgium. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.
"It's been an honor to watch this company evolve throughout my career," says Isebaert.

EMA surveyed 209 respondents to learn how defenders are responding to this increasingly virulent attack vector

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 04, 2020
Enterprise Management Associates (EMA), a leading IT and data management research and consulting firm, released a new research report titled "The Imitation Game: Detecting and Thwarting Automated Bot Attacks" based on criteria defined by Paula Musich, research director of security and risk management at EMA.
Over 20% of all website requests are made by bad bots conducting a range of nefarious activities, including the more ubiquitous application distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, as well as price scraping, web fraud, account hijacking, and more. In late 2019, EMA surveyed 209 respondents representing organizations primarily serving North America to learn how defenders are responding to this increasingly virulent attack vector. The research sought respondents primarily in IT and IT security roles representing organizations with at least 500 employees.
52% of respondents indicated that their organization's public-facing applications had experienced DDoS attacks in the last year, followed by 38% of respondents reporting fake account creation and vulnerability scanning/reconnaissance attacks over that same time period. Depending on the type and size of the organization, the frequency of these attacks ranged anywhere from less than one per day to over 500 times per day.
Attackers continue to up their game by increasing the level of sophistication in their campaigns. The use of simple Python or Perl scripts to mimic the behavior of valid website visitors has given way to the use of Javascript and cookies to appear legitimate. More sophisticated bots even have their own moniker: advanced persistent bots (APBs). These APBs, which make up the lion's share of all bad bots, can mimic human behavior, seek to bypass CAPTCHAs, hide behind anonymous peer-to-peer proxies, and dynamically rotate IP addresses. Increasingly, attackers try to determine how their bots are initially detected and then reconfigure and relaunch the attack in an effort to evade those detections.
Defenders are responding by turning to a range of different bot detection and mitigation providers, including dedicated bot mitigation vendors, web application firewall providers, content delivery networking services, and others. Such providers are raising the stakes by adding a wider range of telemetry to their solutions and adding new detections that employ machine learning techniques, behavioral analysis, and more on top of existing signatures, challenges, and IP reputation detections.
"Automated bot attacks can cost victim organizations from thousands to millions of dollars annually in lost business, product theft, increased infrastructure costs, and more," says Musich. In the cat and mouse game between attackers and defenders, though, defenders appear to be gaining the upper hand through the use of more sophisticated detection and prevention tools."
As organizations build out and manage their defenses against automated bot attacks, they are seeing success in detecting and mitigating the most frequently used attack techniques. This is especially true for application-level DDoS attacks, which the largest percentage of respondents indicated were detected and mitigated in less than one day.
Ultimately, bot defense solutions are enabling users of the technology to limit the amount of damage automated bot attack campaigns are exacting. Respondents in the survey indicated that their use of bot defense technology enabled savings in both fraud resolution and web infrastructure costs.
A detailed analysis of the research findings is available in the report, "The Imitation Game: Detecting and Thwarting Automated Bot Attacks."
Highlights from the report will be revealed during the free February 11 webinar, "The Imitation Game: Detecting and Thwarting Automated Bot Attacks."

With over 100% growth, 2019 was the most successful year ever in the Lone Star State

AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 04, 2020
Today at the annual Texas Computer Education Association Conference, TCEA 2020, zSpace Inc., makers of innovative computing solutions designed to power the global delivery of spatial content, announced a record-breaking year due to an unprecedented demand for its augmented and virtual reality learning platform across Texas districts and schools.
Over the past year, the company experienced over a 100% sales increase in Texas. One of the company's largest customers in Texas, Longview ISD, is in the process of deploying zSpace learning solutions to about 6,000 of the district's students in seven of its schools. LISD plans to use zSpace to support teachers' efforts to more effectively engineer the learning of the students they serve. Each participating school committed to the training of a zSpace trained trainer to ensure successful implementation through the building of capacity for zSpace in their schools.
zSpace provides more than 2,000 school districts, technical centers, medical schools, colleges and universities worldwide with access to STEM content supporting core academic and Career and Technical Education (CTE) curricula. Millions of students benefit from the immersive learning applications on zSpace products as part of their lesson plans. Learning with zSpace has shown a 16 percent average improvement in subject matter retention among all students.
zSpace Educators Bring Learning to Life
In addition to the tremendous growth in Texas over the last year, zSpace continues to foster and nurture relationships with educators who work to advance teaching and learning through innovative technology.
zSpace facilitator Ali Worsham, an Instructional Technology Specialist at Longview Independent School District in Longview, Texas, was nominated as the 2019-2020 TCEA Instructional Technology Specialist of the Year for her work in technology planning and curriculum integration through the use of AR/VR. This award honors those who work in technology planning and curriculum integration and recognizes the significant contribution these educators made toward successful technology use in schools.
"I see zSpace inspiring curiosity because it's innovative and different. Students are engaged with the product in ways that help them master content through new and creative learning," said Ms. Worsham. "zSpace allows my students to gain a deeper understanding of complex subjects because they can really pick apart all the layers. They can see how different things work. They can manipulate objects and really get in there and look at things in a different way."
A Dedicated Site
For Texas educators who want to learn more about teaching through AR/VR, zSpace AR/VR in Texas includes posts, events, professional development opportunities, and video case studies from Texas schools and Districts of Distinction.
Last year, Schluter Elementary School in Haslet, Texas, part of the Northwest Independent School District, was recognized as a School of Distinction for its use of zSpace with their STEAMbassadors. These third through fifth graders were empowered to coach other students on using STEAM resources and help peers develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. STEAMbassadors are skilled in the use of zSpace learning apps and zSpace Experiences, a learning app with experiential-based simulations that connect to real-world phenomena, such as waves and erosion.
zSpace will be at TCEA in Austin, February 4-6, 2020, demonstrating its AR/VR education solutions in booth 2043. Join zSpace and Everman Independent School District to learn more about enhancing STEM and CTE programs with AR/VR on Friday, February 7 from 12:15 p.m.-1:05 p.m. at the Austin Convention Center, Level 4, Room 18A.

Three new security apps empower managed service providers to deliver real-time Office 365 threat monitoring services.

DALLAS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 05, 2020
Today, RocketCyber announced three new security apps to help manage service providers monitor emerging threats targeting Office 365 and Azure Active Directory cloud applications. These new apps extend RocketCyber's approach to delivering innovation that MSP partners can build upon to strengthen the broader security ecosystem against cyberattacks from the cloud to the endpoint.
As small-medium businesses continue moving infrastructure and applications to the cloud, they gain cost savings, convenience and performance. However, this adoption frequently comes without oversight and security controls, introducing risk for intrusions, breaches and regulatory violations.
To address these challenges, RocketCyber is expanding beyond its traditional endpoint security solutions to address the cloud attack vector. This enables MSPs and SOCs a multi-tenant single pane of glass to manage all customers with complete threat visibility targeting Office 365 and Azure Active Directory, enriched with threat intelligence.
Apps released today:
Office 365 Login Analyzer –Detects successful and unsuccessful logins outside the expected geolocations, known malicious IP Addresses and adversaries, exposing unauthorized authentication activity.
Office 365 Log Monitor –Multi-tenant security event log monitoring for all accounts linked to Microsoft Office 365 providing visibility into users, groups, Azure Active Directory and more.
Office 365 Secure Score –Provides the overall cloud security posture with itemized control plans across all Office 365 tenants.
"While 2019's daunting volume of cyberattacks proved to wreak havoc on the endpoint, security threats are expanding the attack surface by leveraging the cloud as another means of gaining unauthorized entry," said Billy Austin, president of RocketCyber. "Microsoft's Office 365 domination throughout the SMB industry coupled with email as the primary entry vehicle that leads to endpoint infections (ransomware, malware, cryptojacking, etc.) present a real challenge to SMB owners. Today's announcement provides MSPs complete visibility across these cloud apps while reducing the threat gap."
Managed Service Providers can learn more by visiting the RocketCyber AppStore. These new apps are available today, require no hardware or software, and are included in both the Professional Software and Managed SOC Service pricing plans.
RocketCyber co-founders Carl Banzhof and Billy Austin will be demonstrating the new Office 365 Threat Monitoring Apps at the ASCII IT Summit, February 26 in Long Beach, CA.
About RocketCyber
RocketCyber, a threat monitoring platform enables managed service providers to deliver security monitoring services for small-medium businesses. Built specifically for MSPs, the RocketCyber cloud platform identifies malicious and suspicious activity that evades traditional cyber defenses.

TULSA, OKLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 05, 2020
The University of Tulsa (TU), Oklahoma's highest-ranked national university, is launching an online MBA and elevating its online MS in Cybersecurity with Noodle Partners, the fastest-growing online program manager.
Increasingly, adult learners are opting for programs that fit their busy lives. TU is working to improve the accessibility of their programs by meeting those students where they are — online.
The online MBA offers both part-time and full-time options to prepare students for professional management careers in the private and public sectors as well as for positions of leadership and responsibility in business and society.
Cybersecurity is one of the fastest growing job sectors in the United States; the BLS projects a 32% increase in employment from 2018 to 2028, more than six times higher than the average for careers in the U.S. For 20 years, TU has been one of just a handful of institutions designated as a Center of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance and Cyber Defense Education.
"The University of Tulsa is excited to leverage the resources and expertise of Noodle Partners to further develop these two online degree programs and meet the needs of students seeking a research university-level education outside of a traditional classroom setting," said Dr. Janet Levit, Interim President of Tulsa University. "TU's MBA and MS in Cybersecurity attract highly motivated working professionals who will use the degrees to advance their careers and support the nation's thriving business and technology industries."
The online 37-credit MBA is a unique cohort-style program, which groups students in teams of four to five members that rotate each semester, fostering a strong network and providing an opportunity to work with individuals who bring different backgrounds and experiences to classroom projects. Elective courses in finance, accounting, energy, marketing or management allow students to customize and focus the degree to suit individual career goals.
The online MS in Cybersecurity requires 30 credits to graduate. The program offers an entirely online curriculum, along with an option to take immersive courses in which students spend one week on campus completing hands-on, intensive training guided by faculty. The program is designed to be completed in 24-months, and students can continue to work as full-time professionals while completing the degree.
"TU is making an excellent strategic move by launching these innovative online programs," said John Katzman, CEO of Noodle Partners. "We have total confidence in our partnership with TU and we're excited to see how its incoming cohorts of students leverage their degrees in the workforce."
About University of Tulsa
The University of Tulsa is a private, doctoral degree-granting institution that fosters a rich, diverse experience for students through mutual respect and cultural appreciation. With undergraduate, graduate and law students from 60 countries, TU is ranked No. 1 in Oklahoma by U.S. News & World Report and Wall Street Journal.

Top-rated home security company spreads awareness of common home security scams and shares steps for protecting your home, bank accounts

TULSA, OKLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 05, 2020
Alert 360, a leading home security and home automation company, is warning homeowners with home security systems about common security scams used by some security companies. These home security companies often use false sales tactics to trick homeowners into signing contracts, which can result in homeowners being billed by two companies for the same service.
"While spring and summer often are prime times for door-to-door sales and potential security contract scams, we're hearing from customers who are being approached year round, especially in our service areas with warmer climates," said Richard Ginsburg, president and CEO, Alert 360. "Our customers who use our 'Scam Alert' webpage and hotline share that these suspicious tactics include representatives from other home security providers posing as our representatives who want access to their homes, accounts, or security systems. These tactics are not uncommon, and we've been working with our customers for years to raise awareness of this security threat and share steps to avoid being scammed.
"These high-pressure and deceptive sales practices often result in a homeowner unknowingly signing contracts with two home security companies, damage to the security system, and unintended access to a bank account," said Ginsburg. "We always recommend that homeowners not feel pressured to sign a contract without taking time to review the details, understanding the terms, and checking with their current security provider."
With nearly 50 years of experience installing home security systems and providing security alarm system monitoring, Alert 360 warns home security owners to be on the alert for home security salespersons who might:

Tell you that your current home security provider is no longer in business, no longer serves your area, or was sold to their company;

Ask you to sign a new contract to ensure your security service continues;

Request access to your security system or tells you that your system has been recalled, requires replacement or repaired;

Show documents to support claims they need access to your system; and

Use high-pressure tactics to force you to sign a new contract on the spot and won't allow you to contact your current provider.

Alert 360 shares these steps to safeguard your home, security system, and bank accounts:

Call your home security company to confirm it has sent a representative or to check the details;

Check all the details before signing a contract so that you don't end up being billed by two home security companies;

If you have a doorbell camera, view who's at your door using a mobile app and your smartphone, or ask the visitor for more information, such as a company name and phone number – even if you're not home;

Know the facts. Stay up to date on news from your home security company by checking its website often and following your provider's blog and social media accounts; and

Report suspicious activity concerning a person going door to door in your neighborhood, or call your home security provider when you have concerns.

"At Alert 360, we take providing home and business security systems very seriously and have been combatting deceptive security sales for decades," said Ginsburg. "Fortunately, when homeowners are aware of these tactics and know the steps to avoid being scammed, they can more easily protect their homes, security systems, and bank accounts. We encourage all Alert 360 customers to visit Alert360.com and click on the 'Scam Alert' tab at the top of our homepage."
Alert 360 provides a full line of home security, business security, energy management, and home automation services. These products and services include wireless security systems, a free mobile app, wireless home security cameras, HD video surveillance, access control, smart thermostats, water leak detection devices, doorbell cameras, monitored heat and carbon monoxide detectors and more. Alert 360's certified security technicians also offer professional installation or integration of smart home devices, such as sprinkler systems, sound systems, Amazon Echo and Google Home.

After completing the workshop, participants can expect to understand how to apply an intelligence capability model to their CI function and demonstrate the value of CI. They will also learn the elements of an early warning program and develop the skills they need to improve their capacity for analysis. Following a knowledge test conducted at the end of the course, each participant will be presented with their SCIP Competitive IQ certification. This professional certification indicates the attainment of skill in market and competitive intelligence.
Online registration for the February 2020 session of the workshop runs until the day of the event. Registration price varies for SCIP members and non-members, but individuals who join the SCIP when they register for the workshop will receive a substantial discount on a one-year membership.

The scale and speed of the platform's exclusive Ethereum 721-contracts helps make enterprise-grade NFTs a reality

PHOENIX (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 05, 2020
Polyient Labs, a startup incubator helping blockchain-adjacent businesses succeed, is excited to welcome Cargo - an Ethereum-based digital warehouse - to its incubation program.
Cargo enables users to securely tokenize both digital and tangible assets and store them on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. And, because Cargo uses ERC-721-specified tokens and smart contracts, it can immediately establish asset ownership - meaning users can confidently buy, sell, trade or auction items with peace of mind.
"Because we leverage ETH, which is valued at $200 billion, and the world's second most trusted blockchain (right behind Bitcoin) and ERC-721, it means users can rest easy knowing their assets are securely stored on a fully-established chain," says Sean Papanikolas, founder of Cargo.
Additionally, he explains, "Cargo's ERC-721 contracts enable the creation and management of an infinite number of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) at one time, empowering the scalability and speed needed to create enterprise-grade NFTs. Basic ERC-721 contracts cannot offer this; only Cargo's contracts can do this."
ERC-721 technology also permits digitized assets to be transferred to any comparable wallet or platform, opening up entirely new possibilities in the buying and selling of digital goods.
"Cargo is a logical addition to Polyient's incubation program," says Polyient CEO, Brad Robertson. "It complements several startups we are now incubating. More importantly, as we continue to expand into the NFT space, Cargo's technology will enable us to address key issues related to the minting and distribution of NFTs. This puts Polyient in the position to significantly enlarge the ecosystem surrounding the emerging NFT asset class."
About Polyient Labs
Polyient Labs is an early-stage business incubator helping entrepreneurs fast-track blockchain innovation by providing capital infusion, insight, guidance, direction and talent to power blockchain-based solutions.
About Cargo
Cargo is a service platform that securely tokenizes tangible and digital assets on the Ethereum blockchain, using ERC-721 contracts, allowing you to buy, sell, auction, trade or transfer them. It's a decentralized system opening up new possibilities for buying and selling digital goods.

Cybercriminals are carrying out targeted attacks against companies around the world utilizing a shotgun approach with many different types of malware. Cybereason's researchers determined 500,000 + workstations are infected around the world.

BOSTON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 05, 2020
Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform, today announced that its Nocturnus research team released its newest research findings The Hole in the Bucket, which uncovers an arsenal of malware actively abusing Bitbucket to steal data, mine for cryptocurrency, and deliver ransomware to victims all over the world. Today, more than 500,000 workstations have been infected.
Due to the variety of malware types deployed in this active attack, attackers are not limited to one attack vector, but can hit victims over and over again. The payloads observed in this campaign originated from different accounts in the code repository platform Bitbucket, which was abused as part of the attackers delivery infrastructure.
Key Findings:
Abuses Resource Sharing Platforms: This ongoing campaign abuses the Bitbucket infrastructure to store and distribute a large collection of different malware.
Attacks From All Sides: This campaign is able to steal sensitive browser data, cookies, email client data, system information, and two-factor authentication software data, along with cryptocurrency from digital wallets. It is also able to take pictures using the camera, take screenshots, mine Monero, and, in certain cases, also deploy ransomware.
Far Reaching: This ongoing campaign has infected over 500,000 machines worldwide thus far.
Modular and Constantly Updating: The attackers leverage Bitbucket to easily update payloads and distribute many different types of malware at once. In order to evade detection, they have an array of user profiles and continuously update their repositories, at times as often as every hour.
Malware Variety: The attackers use the Evasive Monero Miner to steal a combination of data, mine cryptocurrency, and deploy other malware, including the Vidar stealer, Amadey Bot, and IntelRapid. They also use Predator the Thief, Azorult, and the STOP ransomware over the course of the campaign.
Devastating Impact: The combination of so many different types of malware exfiltrating so many different types of data can leave organizations unworkable. This threat is able to compromise system security, violate user privacy, harm machine performance, and cause great damage to individuals and corporations by stealing and spreading sensitive information, all before infecting them with ransomware.
"This research is interesting because of how the attackers infect a single target machine with multiple different kinds of malware. These kinds of commodity malware are often used for a one-off infection to steal data on the machine and sell it in underground hacking communities. However, in this attack, the attackers chose to integrate malware like coin miners and ransomware, which gives them a more persistent source of revenue," said Lior Rochberger, Threat Hunter, Cybereason
About Cybereason
Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform, gives the advantage back to the defender through a completely new approach to cybersecurity.

For the first time SpectraLayers now offers an Elements edition, featuring a range of the highly acclaimed spectrum editing tools.

HAMBURG, GERMANY (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 05, 2020
Steinberg today announced the immediate availability of SpectraLayers Elements 6, a streamlined version that comprises a simplified audio spectrum editing system with fewer tools, processing capabilities and parameters then the existing Pro edition.
SpectraLayers is known for its different approach to audio editing: audio is visualized in the spectral domain, allowing users to manipulate its spectral data in many different ways.
Alongside the Pro edition, SpectraLayers Elements 6 is now available, with a wide range of enhancement capabilities across two audio channels, at a maximum sample rate of 96 kHz. With the feature set in Elements, users have everything required for critical repair and restoration work.
Head of Pro Audio Timo Wildenhain commented: "This solid version of SpectraLayers provides an affordable possibility for users to benefit from the powerful tools that only SpectraLayers has to offer."
SpectraLayers Elements 6 integrates seamlessly into every ARA 2 compatible DAW, such as Nuendo and Cubase. SpectraLayers Elements 6 comes with many of the features newly introduced in SpectraLayers Pro 6, including visible fade masks, redesigned selection tools and the new Move tool to transform audio intuitively by grabbing layers to move or scale them.
"I use SpectraLayers every day in my workflow. It's such a time-saver when using samples, I always want the original sample to sound 'correct' before I start adding color and effects to it. It's really easy to do in SpectraLayers, I can visually see what's wrong with it and just fix it. I always bring the acapella in SpectraLayers to fix resonances and balance the harmonics. To be honest, I can't understand how I did it before. You know those annoying ringing frequencies on just some words? I can fix those in just seconds, such a time-saver!" said Stefan Engblom, producer and one half of Dada Life.
Availability and pricing
The full retail version of SpectraLayers Elements 6 is available as download through the Steinberg Online Shop at the suggested retail price of US $79.99. An upgrade to SpectraLayers Pro 6 is also available for US $219.99.

SafeSwiss Secure Communication AG, a leading developer of encrypted messaging and secure VOIP telephony, announced today that it had acquired Swiss-based company Secure Swiss Data

GENEVA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 05, 2020
SafeSwiss Secure Communication AG, a leading developer of encrypted messaging and secure VOIP telephony, announced today that it had acquired Swiss-based company Secure Swiss Data, a pioneer of consumer-based encrypted email, file storage and file sharing in one of the most significant acquisitions within the rapidly growing Cyber Security market.
The deal comes at a time where data has become the World's most valuable commodity, surpassing oil and prompting calls for tech titans like Google and Facebook to be broken up as Standard Oil was in the early 20th century.
According to SafeSwiss, cyber-attacks and data breaches are at an all-time high and are only set to increase. They say that phishing attacks, identity theft, ransomware and malware have become increasingly common for businesses of all sizes and individual users across the globe. Media reports that data breaches are costing big business big money with Facebook being fined $5 billion for the Cambridge Analytica scandal, the Marriott Hotel group being fined $229 million, British Airways $123 million and French CNIL fining Google a record $50 million for its breach of new EU GDPR laws.
Recently another massive data breach at Capital One was announced where the data of 100 million USA users and a further six million in Canada might have been compromised, and only this week we are hearing reports of the Ashley Madison hack returning to haunt its 32 x, million users.
Now, the multi-million-dollar amalgamation of Secure Swiss Data into the SafeSwiss platform is expected to create the World's most comprehensive encryption offering in an entity that can safeguard private data for millions of users worldwide as the data crisis intensifies.
In a joint statement, Secure Swiss Data CEO David Bruno and SafeSwiss Chairman Tim Gallagher confirmed the merger of their companies. They said they were extremely pleased to see the technologies of both companies being bought together.
"This acquisition will undoubtedly go a long way to provide all our users with greater confidence in utilizing a comprehensive end to end encryption suite of communication mediums within a single application," said David Bruno.
SafeSwiss Tim Gallagher said, "Our development team are working diligently to integrate the two technologies, and there is a considerable benefit to unified login and interoperability. Along with the integration, we are working on a host of new features to be released to our worldwide users shortly."
Tim Gallagher went on to say "both companies were deliberate in positioning their business and servers within Switzerland aside from benefiting from international political neutrality provides some unique advantages that can't be found anywhere else as Swiss laws ensure the confidentiality of any data stored by both businesses and individuals."
Switzerland continues to offer the highest level of privacy protection, including data anywhere in the World.
SafeSwiss is close to announcing another major cybersecurity acquisition within the USA shortly that will further complement the business and increase its capabilities.

Innowave's New InfinIoT Service Lets Inventors Get Devices to Market in Record Time at an Affordable Price

OAKLAND, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 05, 2020
Innowave (https://www.innowave.co/), the team that does the impossible and a leader in IoT design, miniaturization and certification, today unveiled its new InfinIoT program, geared to take Internet of Things products from concept to market in just three short months, and for a fraction of the cost normally associated with this process.
IoT products require special expertise that most companies simply don't have in-house. This is why more than 75 percent of companies report their IoT projects as either failing or greatly exceeding budgets and time constraints. Moreover, many companies focus on developing IoT platforms but not the devices due to the market trend which values software-based companies higher than hardware companies.
In 2011, Cisco predicted 50 billion IoT devices would be in play by 2020, but experts now estimate that the number is only close to 20 billion. Cisco reported the cost and implementation duration as the major roadblocks in achieving a truly connected world via 50 billion IoT devices. (https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2019/05/02/the-iot-yesterdays-predictions-vs-todays-reality/#5beeb1cc512b)
Founded in 2015 with a deep knowledge of embedded systems, radio frequency engineering, printed circuitry, mechanical design, and lengthening battery life, Innowave is at the leading edge of creating and perfecting smaller, smarter and longer-lasting IoT connected devices that meet regulatory requirements from around the world.
"Entrepreneurship has never been more popular, and in a startup world, people are constantly searching for ways to turn their visions into realities," said co-founder Dr. Pragash Sangaran. "That's where Innowave comes in, transforming ideas into amazing products, like our groundbreaking LEAP, the world's smallest global trackers able to work even when out of cellular range, which we have just debuted at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas."
For just $50,000, InfinIoT will have custom IoT products ready to go to market in just three months. Clients can choose from three wireless connectivity options, multiple sensors and power supply types. The deliverables include custom hardware, a mechanical cover, embedded software, product FCC and/or CE ID, and an optional cloud platform. The minimum order quantity is 100 units. Clients have the option of letting Innowave manufacture the units or handle their own manufacturing with a $2 US royalty fee per unit. IP licensing for the field of use will be granted to the customer for an indefinite time, except in unforeseen circumstances (e.g. EOL of parts). Terms and conditions apply to this InfinIoT program.
Innowave's specializations include miniaturizing printed circuits and entire products, designing and certifying wearable devices, engineering devices for unprecedented battery longevity (thanks to its patented CASA architecture), and creating multi-technology, co-located wireless devices that meet FCC, IC, CE, PTCRB and GCF regulations and cellular certification (2G, 3G, LTE including NB-IoT, and 5G).
Innowave is also a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO), giving it unmatched connectivity. Its SIM card can instantly roam to multiple mobile operator networks from any country at any time before independently selecting the strongest available network without a preference for specific mobile operators.
Innowave Product Design Services offered include system architecture design, hardware design, software design, schematic and printed circuit board (PCB) design, RF and EM simulation to ensure designs meet regulatory and performance requirements, industrial and mechanical design, product testing, optimization and measurement, product regulatory certification, and field testing.
Innowave Antenna Design Services offered include antenna design and simulation to verify frequency of operation, return loss and input impedance; antenna simulation to verify antenna regulatory performance, such as SAR, TRP and TIS; and antenna measurement and validation.
When it comes to licensing and design modification, Innowave's many patents are available to enhance a product's competitive advantages in the global marketplace. In addition to its five granted patents (with six more pending), the founders share over 60 U.S. and international patents, and more than 800 citations by companies including Texas Instruments, Analog Devices, Cypress, Marvell, Boeing and Samsung.

Johnson Controls has announced a new Kantech hattrix Five Diamond Data Center Alliance partner, Total Server Solutions (TSS).

ATLANTA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Johnson Controls launched the Tyco Kantech hattrix Five Diamond Program to set standards that lead our world and industry in several key areas: cloud-infrastructure, hosting data center standards, data center engineer's certification requirements, platform proficiency, processes and procedures. While we have already set some of the highest standards in the physical security industry with hattrix, we have just raised the bar once again. Johnson Controls has announced a new Kantech hattrix Five Diamond Data Center Alliance partner, Total Server Solutions (TSS).
Raising the bar:
"We are very excited about this new partnership. TSS' superior product portfolio and service capabilities position us to widen our lead on the cutting edge of technology and standards. Business sustainability and continuity for mission critical facilities utilizing the hatrrix platform couldn't be in better hands" Commented Homer Enriquez, Kantech National Sales Manager, USA
TSS is setting the standard:
"We build our TSS global platform with your data availability, security and performance goals in mind. Our industry-leading cloud and data protection solutions are tightly integrated and designed to be secure, efficient and elastic from the ground up. The value of this already robust technology is enhanced when placed on our Total Server Solutions (TSS) hattrix Five Diamond Certified VMware powered platform."Said Mike Belote, VP of Sales
Strategic Positioning:
"The prevalence of cloud-based access control, forecasted to lead revenue generation for the access control segment by 2025, must anticipate and plan for advancements, and the evolution of not only the access control industry, but also cloud-technology, IoT, Edge computing, AI, Deep Learning and processing technology. Cloud-based access control platforms, as a whole, already integrate with intrusion, surveillance, tenant entry and SDK's available for third-party partners. Ensuring hattrix utilizes the highest standards for cloud environments positions us to lead the migration currently underway. It's very exciting." Said Homer Enriquez, Kantech National Sales Manager, USA
Kantech's hattrix hosted & managed access control platform has averaged 50% growth over the last three years and it's one-of-a-kind business model makes it very attractive to industry leading integrators wanting to build their own private cloud environment. Cloud environment ownership means hattrix partners are building their own cloud RMR engine, not someone else's. Additionally, cloud environment ownership translates into database ownership, which lowers risk and protects strong end-user relationships.

The RocketCyber AppStore enables development partners to deliver security to MSPs via apps on a unified endpoint agent.

DALLAS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
RocketCyber, a threat monitoring platform for managed service providers, today announced the availability of the RocketCyber AppStore, the industry's first cloud solution that opens the RocketCyber Threat Platform to third party applications, enabling a single agent – ecosystem experience. The RocketCyber AppStore permits customers to try, buy and deploy vetted partner security apps with the threat platform, without needing to deploy additional agents or manage other technologies. Through the RocketCyber AppStore, security vendors can introduce innovation while getting to market faster without needing to develop agents, APIs, and multi-tenant platforms.
Over the last decade, the deployment of new agents and consoles were required to address various cyber security use cases. The RocketCyber AppStore introduces the first MSP cyber security cloud-based ecosystem, where agents are consolidated while providing a selection of security vendor technologies managed by a single multi-tenant cloud console, built specifically for managed service providers.
"We developed the RocketCyber AppStore to transform the security experience for our MSP customers through open integration. The RocketCyber threat monitoring platform is an ecosystem including purpose-built apps by both RocketCyber and trusted partners enabling the MSP to improve administration of their security stack without deploying new agents, all through the RocketCyber Platform," said Carl Banzhof, CEO and co-founder of RocketCyber. "We believe, The RocketCyber AppStore and core agent capabilities will redefine how security vendors approach the MSP industry and ultimately drive better protection to an underserved market."
SecureNow, one of RocketCyber's first RocketApp development partners is simultaneously launching their Active Directory monitoring app. The app continuously monitors changes to active directory user accounts and reports them to the RocketCyber Console for security monitoring purposes. In addition to the security benefit of this app, SecureNow is able to leverage a tighter integration with its Security Awareness Training product in order to ensure all users are included in anti-phishing campaigns and other security awareness training services.
"MSPs are actively strengthening their approach to layered security to improve their services for small to medium-sized businesses," said Art Gross, CEO at Breach Secure Now. "Breach Secure Now's strategic partnership with RocketCyber leverages the power of the RocketCyber Platform to offer customers the ability to monitor user account changes in Active Directory and synchronize the results to the Breach Secure Now cloud. We are excited to offer our app through the RocketCyber AppStore and participate in this journey to reform how MSPs deliver cyber security services."
The RocketCyber Threat Monitoring Platform brings the MSP industry a solution where SOC (security operation center) services are delivered from one cloud console, unifying threat intelligence, threat hunting, breach detection, log monitoring and more spanning endpoint, network and cloud attack pillars.
Development Partners who are interested in opportunities to develop on the RocketCyber platform, should contact: developer@rocketcyber.com. Customers can learn more about available apps by visiting the RocketCyber AppStore - https://www.rocketcyber.com/appstore.

New Article Details Industry Factors that Slow and Stop AI Adoption

LADERA RANCH, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Stu Frost of Geminos Software (http://www.geminos.ai) today released a whitepaper targeted at mid-sized companies facing the challenge of building artificial intelligence applications.
According to research published by IDC, more than 500 million AI-driven applications will need to be built over the next few years. But achieving this would require hundreds of millions of artificial intelligence application developers and data scientists.
"Reading the press," said Stu, "it seems as though everyone is implementing AI-driven solutions as part of broad digital transformations that will take them to "Industry 4.0". The reality is somewhat different. While it's true that large companies such as Wal-Mart, Amazon, FedEx, etc. have had successes and in some cases have radically improved their operations or even created entirely new lines of business, the successful use of AI has not yet reached the broader market to the same extent."
Cognilytica recently published a report revealing that only 9% of companies in the US have more than one AI solution operating. The majority of the rest have their first project in progress (18%) or are planning to start their first in the next 1-3 years. (42%).
Frost continued, "One of the main reasons why these companies struggle to keep up is the difficulty they have in hiring high quality resources that can deliver effective solutions."
Cognilytica reported that 27% of companies would slow and 13% would stop adopting AI altogether because of limited artificial intelligence skills. According to Stu Frost, Geminos has found the numbers to be even higher for mid-sized companies.
Stu reported that "This is the fundamental problem that we at Geminos are setting out to solve – improving the price/performance of AI solution development by >10X. In the mid-term, we will be "Using AI to Build AI" as per our tagline, but in the meantime, our approach can already provide significant improvements and we have a great team of highly experienced data scientists that can deliver solutions with very compelling time and cost to value."
To read the full whitepaper go to https://geminos.ai/blog/stu-frost/749/
About Stu Frost
A veteran of the worlds of analytics and data management with more than 30 years of experience, Stu Frost, from Ladera Ranch, California, has created and incubated many companies in the data and artificial intelligence markets, developing an unparalleled knowledge of customer needs and the key technologies involved in the process. In the last eight years, Stu has created and incubated some of the leading companies in the IIoT market, including Maana (IIoT knowledge platform), OspreyData (oil and gas analytics), NarrativeWave (wind farm analytics), ThinkIQ (food traceability) and SWARM (AI agents for IIoT). During this time, he saw the market go from its very early gestation to the point where major industrial companies are Stu to make significant, long term commitments to digitization. Through this unique experience, Stu has developed deep knowledge of the market's needs and how to successfully create and sell key technologies to meet those needs
About Geminos Software
Stu's newest venture is Geminos Software's (http://www.geminos.ai). Geminos' digital twin platform improves the quality and time to market of AI-driven solutions to enable industrial digital transformation (Industry 4.0 or Industrial IoT). The Geminos platform uses "AI to build smarter AI applications" and solves some of the key challenges in creating next generation applications.

A report by Cognilytica states that "Limited AI Skills or Talent" was a showstopper for 13% of all companies and slowing adoption for a further 27%," said Stu Frost. "Our own research indicates that these numbers are significantly higher for mid-sized companies."

Student hackers from 14 countries recognized for excelling in leadership and propelling innovation within technology

NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Major League Hacking (MLH), the global student hacker community empowering the next generation of programmers and entrepreneurs, published the first annual MLH Top 50 List recognizing some of the world's most impactful young technologists.
The honorees were chosen from more than 100,000 participants at MLH hackathons, workshops, and other community events in the past academic year. More than 20 experts evaluated the nominees based on the impact they made, their innovation in technology and education, and their leadership of hacker communities.
"We are thrilled to recognize the rising stars within the MLH community," said Mike Swift, CEO and Co-Founder of MLH. "The MLH Top 50 represents a diverse and innovative group of student leaders that are paving the way for the next generation of developers. They have made an immense impact on the world, and we can't wait to see what they do next."
The recipients range in age from 17-30 years old and hail from 14 countries including USA, Vietnam, Mexico, Lithuania, Australia, among others. The hackers featured on MLH's Top 50 List are leading the charge in bringing hacker communities and educational resources to underserved populations around the world.
Here are a few testimonials from some of the MLH Top 50 recipients from around the globe:
"Because of the hacker community and my feeling of inspiration, I was motivated to take up an opportunity to impact my immediate community of women and fellow hackers by hosting the first women-centric hackathon at my school. In fact, I really believe that experience opened my eyes to what a community could really do for people that just needed one opportunity to show themselves that they really belong in the hacker space." - Emily Huang, 22, Rowland Heights, California, University of California, Riverside, Rose Hacks
"My friends and I created our own hackathon community which has over 10,000+ people. In a country with such an unstable economy, it's exciting to have created an ecosystem where hackers, entrepreneurs, students, and mentors alike can come together to help each other." - Aleksandr Malyshev, 25, Moscow, Russia, Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Russian Hackers
"When I talked to other hackers and organizers from all over North America, I was always rather jealous of the sheer number of hackathons in their areas. In Vancouver, we don't have nearly as many so one of my main goals for the year was to serve our local hacker community better by offering them more chances to hack! " - Zoe Fox, 23, Melbourne, Australia, University of British Columbia, nwPlus
"After a wildly inspiring summer in San Francisco interning at GitHub, I interrupted my degree to become a full-time nomad and work remotely in the business side of tech. In the last five months, I created a YouTube channel, started investing, incorporated a company (that I called UwU, Inc. — making it the world's most expensive UwU), launched a resume review business and joined an NGO to teach teenagers web development in Panama." - Elena Lape. 23, Vilnius, Lithuania, University of Edinburgh, Hack the Burgh
The MLH Top 50 represents the next generation of technology leaders, who work tirelessly to take their life-changing experiences as members of MLH's community and share them with the world. Through MLH's educational hackathons, technical workshops, and other community events students have the opportunity to build their network, learn new skills outside of the classroom, and make an impact that stretches far beyond their school.

Email expert asks if businesses should migrate to a modern email archiving solution like Office 365 to avoid the limitations of legacy vendors—in a new article from Messaging Architects

HOBOKEN, N.J. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Messaging Architects, an eMazzanti Technologies Company and email migration consultant, examines legacy email archiving solutions in a new article on the Messaging Architects website.
The informative article offers reasons to stay with an old system as well as the limitations of doing so. The author then cautions readers to avoid the trap of migrating data to the cloud and giving up control via punitive charges for extracting the data.
"When moving to the cloud, avoid the trap of giving up control over the data when you transfer management and storage of the archives," stated Greg Smith, Vice President of Services Delivery at Messaging Architects.
Below are a few excerpts from the article, "Determine the Future of Your Legacy Email Archiving Solution."
"Over a decade ago, your organization purchased a state-of-the-art archiving solution to help you save space and achieve regulatory compliance. But technology marched on quickly, and that legacy email archiving solution no longer meets your needs. You must decide whether to limp along with an outdated and poorly-supported product or migrate to a modern solution."
"Email archiving systems like SourceOne and Enterprise Vault led the industry in 2009. But with mass migration to the cloud, these solutions quickly lost ground to more up-to-date technology. Organizations moved their email operations to nimble cloud services such as Office 365, in some cases leaving behind large email archives."
Avoid the Traps
"Some legacy vendors may entice you to leave your legacy systems to bring your data into their new SaaS cloud solution. The intention is to avoid the support and infrastructure costs associated with the on-premise systems. Many of these solutions impose serious restrictions or punitive charges for trying to extract your data."
Ease the Pain of Migrating Legacy Archives
The migration experts at Messaging Architects understand not only the challenges of migrating data from legacy email archiving solutions but also the advantages and disadvantages to moving it to some cloud systems. Through hundreds of legacy archive migrations and years of working with clients of all sizes, they have streamlined the legacy migration process.
Whether an organization uses MXLogic, GWAVA Retain, HP Autonomy or another legacy system, they will extract a complete, defensible data set. they know the roadblocks, and have the tools and expertise to overcome them, ensuring a smooth migration to Office 365 or other workable cloud archive solution.

Cofense to speak on shaping successful phishing awareness programs, demonstrate cutting edge phishing defense solutions and facilitate peer-to-peer networking through daily in-booth meetups

LEESBURG, VA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Cofense, the global leader in intelligent phishing defense solutions, today announced the company's presence at RSA Conference 2020, taking place February 24-28 in San Francisco. This year's RSAC theme will focus on the most powerful asset in protecting against cyberattacks – the "Human Element", the beating heart of Cofense's mission. As threat actors continuously innovate to slip past technologies put into place to protect both organizations and consumers alike, the security community is increasingly aware that artificial intelligence and machine learning alone are not silver bullets to protect against today's emerging and sophisticated attacks; empowering humans to act as the last line of defense is critical for a truly multi-layered and integrated cyber defense posture.
"Phishing is a uniquely human and global problem, and our long-standing stated purpose is to unite humanity against phishing," said Rohyt Belani, chief executive officer and co-founder, Cofense. "Our 21 million plus end users act as human sensors, reporting thousands of suspicious emails to security operations teams daily. The collective human intelligence of the Cofense customer base provides SOC teams with visibility into threats that evade security controls every single day."
To shed light on how humans are integral to organizational defense, Cofense Security Solutions Advisor, Tonia Dudley, will present an interactive workshop as part of RSA's Learning Labs. Dudley's session, "Hearts and Minds: Shaping a Successful Awareness Program", will take place on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 9:20 a.m. PT, addressing why changing humans is more art than science. The workshop will explore psychological challenges we all face – apathy, fatigue and denial – as well as the inherent benefits in human physiology, such as how our brain chemistry responds to stories. In addition to focusing on phishing defense advocacy and demonstrating how Cofense solutions help organizations across the globe minimize the impact of attacks and reduce costs, Dudley also holds a seat on the National Cybersecurity Society board to provide support and resources for the small business community to improve online safety and security.
RSA Conference attendees can learn more about Cofense by visiting the company's two booths, located in the South Expo hall at booth #1235, and the North Expo hall at booth #4436. During expo hall hours, Cofense will have six live demo stations where visitors can interact with technology experts and see Cofense's market-leading intelligent phishing defense solutions, including:

The new capability in Centrifuge Platform is designed for IoT device manufacturers and cable operators to ensure their equipment does not contain the 'Cable Haunt' vulnerability.

FULTON, MD. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
ReFirm Labs, a provider of the industry's first proactive IoT and firmware security solutions, today announced a new capability of its Centrifuge Platform that detects the presence of the "Cable Haunt" vulnerability in the firmware images of cable modems. The recently-discovered vulnerability is estimated to impact hundreds of millions of cable modems globally. The new capability is designed for IoT device manufacturers and cable operators so they can ensure they are delivering solutions without this critical exploit to their customers.
Cable Haunt is a critical vulnerability in the eCos-based firmware of cable modems. It was disclosed in January 2020 by a team of security researchers in Denmark. With this vulnerability, external attackers can exploit a buffer overflow to take control of the modem, including potentially changing the modem firmware, redirecting user traffic or making the cable modem participate in a malicious botnet.
"The Cable Haunt vulnerability highlights two key points that we constantly preach about IoT security," said Derick Naef, CEO of ReFirm Labs. "First, vulnerabilities in the firmware that runs IoT devices like cable modems are typically overlooked. They are an attack vector, and both companies and consumers need to be highly aware of the security of the IoT devices they are deploying onto their networks, just as they are concerned about the security of applications and websites."
"Second, supply chain security needs to be at the very top of mind for IoT device manufacturers," said Naef. "The reason the Cable Haunt vulnerability is present across so many vendors and devices is that the vulnerability is contained in a core piece of software delivered with one of the building blocks of most cable modems – the eCos-based cable modem middleware from Broadcom. This is precisely why having visibility into the security of 3rd-party components is essential to building a secure IoT device."
With its new capability, Centrifuge Platform uses a binary-only image of the Broadcom-based portion of the cable modem firmware image to extract the full eCos image and conduct analyses to identify if the Cable Haunt vulnerability is present. The new capability is the latest example of the many exploit, malware and backdoor detectors in Centrifuge Platform. It also analyzes IoT firmware for cryptographic and password weaknesses, known vulnerabilities and weak binary hardening, and conducts automated reverse engineering to discover potential zero-day exploits, among other capabilities.
Centrifuge Platform is the first solution that proactively manages the security of firmware -- a specific class of software that provides the low-level control for the hardware of an IoT device. Centrifuge Platform can identify and report abnormalities and vulnerabilities in firmware in less than 30 minutes. It allows companies to quickly analyze their firmware for hidden dangers and respond immediately to potential weak spots. Highly scalable, automated and cloud-based, Centrifuge Platform is a simple and reliable way for monitoring security across an entire system of deployed IoT devices without the need for agents or access to the network itself.

Mandel Communications, the global leader in technology-driven communication skills training, is pleased to announce the addition of Dana Dupuis to its executive team. Dupuis, a pioneer and expert in Listening Intelligence, has joined the organization as the Executive Director of Research & Development, Listening Science.

CAPITOLA, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 06, 2020
Mandel Communications, the global leader in technology-driven communication skills training, is pleased to announce the addition of Dana Dupuis to its executive team. Dupuis, a pioneer and expert in Listening Intelligence, has joined the organization as the Executive Director of Research & Development, Listening Science.
Dupuis brings a wealth of expertise in leader development and communication to Mandel. She has spent her career exploring the effects of corporate communication and interpersonal collaboration on organizational well-being. Her research has established an innovative way to harness the power of listening.
Ed Musselwhite, CEO of Mandel, believes Dana's background and skills in the listening space will be of enormous value for Mandel's corporate clients.
"Dana's research really expands our own mission of aiding human success by making every communication count," said Musselwhite. "Listening is such a big component of the equation, and we haven't had the in-depth expertise and the game-changing research to profoundly bolster our impact in that area until now."
Early in her career, Dupuis began to see listening as an essential factor of healthy corporate communication. She pursued her own research into the science of listening, partnering with neuroscientists, clinical psychologists and communication professionals to define Listening Intelligence.
Dupuis's research established a new understanding of listening as a brain-based function. "No two brains are alike," says Dupuis. "Just as communication styles vary from individual to individual, so do listening styles."
Dupuis and her team spent eight years developing a cognitive-based listening assessment. It has been studied by peers in the academic community and proven to be scientifically grounded and statistically reliable.
The assessment helps leaders and teams quickly understand and adapt to the listening styles and corresponding behaviors of team members, prospective clients, individual employees and future hires.
The result is more accurate and efficient two-way communications that provide benefits to all involved.
The assessment has broad application and has been successful in developing sales teams, improving management decision-making and accelerating cultural on-boarding.
Of her new role, Dupuis said, "Mandel is best-in-class for helping people communicate more effectively, and I'm honored to be a part of this organization."

Cohley is uniquely positioned to address this challenge and we're thrilled to support their journey," says Pat Matthews, CEO & Founder of Active Capital.
The brands that are gaining market share are rapidly iterating and A/B testing thousands of assets to optimize performance. They're avoiding the trap of letting "gut feel" dictate their content decisions and relying on data to inform their decision making instead.. Gone are the days when marketers crafted one-size-fits-all marketing campaigns in dimly lit conference rooms with single malt scotches in hand.
"For brands, their top performing content is rarely the video or photo that the brand feels is the best," notes Co-Founder and Head of Product Erik Graber. "Our tech empowers marketers to make more effective content decisions by utilizing thousands of data points."    
Cohley's software platform functions like a marketplace where clients like Unilever, Rhone, Ann Taylor, and Samsonite post Campaigns that are presented to content creators and/or photographers who fit their content goals. From there, creators apply to the campaigns with a full understanding of timeline, required deliverables, content guidelines and compensation. The brand then uses Cohley's guided creator selection and they're off and running, collecting thousands of rights-approved videos, photos and text reviews that are housed in their Content Libraries where they can easily activate those assets across digital channels.    
"We couldn't be happier to have this awesome collection of top-tier institutional and angel investors who are totally aligned with our vision in the round," Co-Founder and CEO Tom Logan said. The company turned a profit in 2019 with 375% growth and it is projecting 500% growth in 2020.
According to Dave Lambert, who is the Managing Director of Right Side Capital, "The growth that Cohley has achieved this past year is super impressive. Amazingly, they have achieved that growth profitably, with almost no prior capital raised. We've invested in 1,000+ companies this past decade, and what they've done thus far puts them solidly in the 1% category. They clearly have a product that delivers enormous value to their customers."

PCE Instruments launched the new video borescope PCE-VE 800N4 which allows the user to check in advance if components have to be replaced. With this preventive maintenance method, downtimes of machines and plants are often avoided and unnecessary costs can be saved. The video borescope is equipped with a 1.5 m cable and a camera head with a diameter of only 2.8 mm.

JUPITER,FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 08, 2020
For machines maintenance, it is important to find flaws in plants or machines directly. Today's modern machines are getting more and more compact, regardless of the area of application. This does not only have positive consequences. It is a huge disadvantage that it is getting increasingly difficult to access its components. When it comes to machine maintenance, lots of companies have recently focused on preventive maintenance, for instance with the help of video borescopes.
PCE Instruments launched the new video borescope PCE-VE 800N4 which allows the user to check in advance if components have to be replaced. With this preventive maintenance method, downtimes of machines and plants are often avoided and unnecessary costs can be saved. The video borescope is equipped with a 1.5 m cable and a camera head with a diameter of only 2.8 mm. This allows very small cavities to be inspected and weak points to be detected. With the help of the 4-way camera head the video borescope can be moved freely in four directions. In areas which are hard to access, such as engines and turbines, the mobility of the PCE-VE 800N4 as well as the display with a high resolution of 400 x 400 pixels are very helpful. The field of view is 80 °, i. e. the PCE-VE 800N4 video borescope can be placed very close to the object to be inspected but very large image recordings are still possible. The focus distance is between 5 and 50 mm. All image and video recordings can be stored to the included SDHC memory card (64 GB) for later documentation.
Originally, endoscopes were developed for medical diagnostics. Today, they are also used for surgical interventions in the medical field and for visual inspection of cavities that are extremely difficult to access in the industrial field. Rigid and flexible borescopes are the main types that can be found on the market. Borescopes are offered in different variations, for instance with a picture-in-picture function, a video function, with different diameters of the camera cables and camera heads, etc.

kununu's Salary database includes more than 370,000 salaries from over 15,000 companies breaking taboo traditions and setting a new precedent for employers and job seekers

BOSTON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 07, 2020
kununu, the largest European employer assessment platform and only professional provider specializing in exclusive employer and workplace insight, today announces its Salary Transparency feature revolutionizing the application and hiring process by offering advanced insight to career opportunities with clear salary structures.
With more than 370,000 salaries from over 15,000 companies, kununu provides job seekers and employers with unparalleled salary insight. The kununu Salary Transparency feature is a standard component of the company profile on the employer evaluation platform. Users can access gross annual salaries for different positions, professional fields, industries and locations in the respective companies under the salary tab.
"We believe that transparent salary structures help companies to present themselves more distinctively in their employer branding activities. In an environment in which all employers operate with interchangeable user promises, it is precisely those employers who really stand out from the competition that have the advantage," explains Moritz Kothe, CEO at kununu. "Already today every second job seeker uses kununu.com to select an employer. Whoever scores in this selection process with a transparent corporate culture and salary structure that stands out, puts a truly authentic and clear brand in the focus of sought-after candidates."
Oftentimes, salaries are protected and not publicly shared which creates discrepancies among employees, hinders the application process by improperly funneling the wrong candidates and costs company resources. kununu's Salary Transparency feature is revolutionary by offering job seekers and employers with valuable salary information to accurately guide and determine career matches. Additionally, employers can competitively distinguish themselves against other employers through attractive salary structures and utilize as leverage when hiring sought-after candidates.
In 2019, kununu initiated its transparency revolution within the recruitment and employer branding process. kununu kicked off the transparency initiative with the announcement of its Culture Compass feature, a tool designed to strategically identify and match the job seeker with the most relevant and best-suited company culture.

Fenner, a SIA Board of Directors member, committee chair and dedicated SIA volunteer, will be honored at The Advance at ISC West 2020.

SILVER SPRING, MD. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 07, 2020
The Security Industry Association (SIA) has selected Janet Fenner as the 2020 recipient of the Sandy Jones Volunteer of the Year Award, which recognizes SIA volunteers who have made tireless efforts to expand SIA's programs and services. SIA will present Fenner with the award at The Advance, SIA's annual membership meeting, during ISC West.
Fenner is the chief marketing officer at Intelligent Security Systems (ISS), a leading developer of security surveillance and control systems for networked digital video and audio recording, video image pattern processing and digital data transmission. Prior to her time at ISS, she held marketing and leadership roles at Dahua Technology, Hanwha Techwin America and TemTec. Fenner is a member of the SIA Board of Directors and serves as chair of SIA's Membership and Marketing Committee, where she guides SIA in creating member value – especially for the purposes of increasing member retention, new member development and overall member engagement – and serves as a valued sounding board for validating the member benefits developed by SIA's committees and staff. She is also a member of the SIA Women in Security Forum steering committee, which engages all security professionals to promote, recruit and cultivate the leadership of women for a more inclusive and diversified industry.
"Janet Fenner truly embodies a spirit of volunteerism at SIA through her active involvement in SIA committees, events and membership initiatives and by continually encouraging other members to grow their engagement with the association," said SIA Chairman of the Board Scott Schafer. "SIA commends Janet for her exceptional contributions to SIA and the security industry and for partnering with SIA to provide top-quality programs, initiatives and services, and we look forward to recognizing her for these accomplishments at The Advance."
Fenner has been continually engaged with SIA's programming, including promoting and speaking at events like the SIAThere! series of networking and professional growth events and Securing New Ground, the security industry's executive conference.
Leveraging both her role with SIA and her role as an advisory board member of Mission 500, a not-for-profit organization focused on the professional security community's efforts to assist families in need across the U.S., Fenner has played an instrumental role in fostering collaboration between SIA and Mission 500 on efforts like SIA Honors Night, a special event recognizing industry leaders' contributions to the security industry which supports the work of Mission 500 through donations to the organization's end-of-year campaign.
"I sincerely thank SIA for this acknowledgement and honor for which I am most grateful," said Fenner. "This award represents the scores of friends, colleagues and family who help make the activities and events I've been involved with both possible and meaningful – and I extend my sincerest thanks to them as well."
The Advance will take place during ISC West 2020 on Tuesday, March 17, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. in the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to the presentation of the Sandy Jones Volunteer of the Year Award, attendees will enjoy a high-impact presentation from William Wilkins, executive director of global security operations at Valero Energy Corporation, on the chief security officer framework and key lessons for security professionals. SIA will also review key association business, exchange market intelligence for the year ahead and present the SIA Chairman's Award, Member of the Year Award and Committee Chair of the Year Award. Attendees of The Advance will receive complimentary lunch and have the opportunity to network with industry colleagues. Learn more and register to attend.
