February 19 is National Lash Day, an observance of a professional beauty service generating some eye-opening revenue. The fluttery trend is driving flattering income potential and has prompted Bellus Academy to integrate lash extensions into its cosmetology programs.

SAN DIEGO, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
February 19 is National Lash Day, an observance of a professional beauty service generating some eye-opening revenue. The fluttery trend is driving flattering income potential as evidenced by the following data points:

Eyelash treatments in 2018 increased 32%, surpassing even eyebrow products (Nielsen)

A full set of lashes typically retails for $120 to $350 (ABC News)

25% of eyelash professionals have worked in the industry for at least 5 years (ABC News)

Eyelashes help build return clientele, as the average customer will visit their preferred venue every 4-6 weeks to receive services

An ABC News video shines an eye-opening light on an industry that is growing. And just as lash extensions can distinguish and elevate a client's style, they can amplify a cosmetologist's income. That's one reason Bellus Academy includes Barboleta Beauty lash extensions in its cosmetology and esthetic program.

Recognizing the revenue opportunity eye lash extensions present to cosmetologists, Bellus Academy includes two full weeks of lash training in its core cosmetology program. Recognized by Intercoiffure as North America's top beauty academy, Bellus partnered with lash extension Borboleta Beauty to introduce basic and volume individual lash applications in student kits.
Bellus continues to lead the professional beauty industry in educational advances, instructing new students and alumni on emerging trends driving revenue opportunities. Recognizing demand for lash extensions and the recurring income potential lashes present to salons and eyelash specialists, Bellus Academy has integrated lash extension training into all of its programs.
Whether applied for a fluttering doe-like effect or to create a dramatic fringed cat eye; the appeal of lash extensions – and the career boosting opportunities of this industry - is not likely to flutter out soon. Eye lash extensions are one of the fastest growing beauty services creating significant income for beauty professionals and making professional beauty an even more attractive career path. Consider these statistics that show how the eyelash extension industry is booming:

FraudScope's AI Technology Is Helping to Change the Paradigm of How Fraud, Waste, and Abuse is Identified in Healthcare.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
FraudScope, an AI-based platform that helps health plan special investigations units, payment integrity, and medical review teams investigate fraud, waste, and abuse (FWA), today revealed its platform has helped Highmark's Financial Investigations and Provider Review department identify potential FWA schemes more quickly than traditional analytics, in turn helping them achieve millions of dollars in savings.
FraudScope began working with Highmark in 2019 with Kurt Spear, Vice President of Financial Investigations and Provider Review, as a part of Highmark's larger payment integrity strategy to drive down fraud, waste, and abuse. As referenced in a February 3, 2020 news announcement from Highmark, the Financial Investigations and Provider Review department has experienced more than $260 million in savings related to fraud, waste, and abuse in 2019 alone, with the escalation in savings attributed, in part, to the newly implemented AI initiative with FraudScope.
"FraudScope's patented AI technology helps our health plan customers achieve significantly better results and at a faster pace than traditional rules-based fraud detection products. Implementations typically only take weeks which enable customers to be live and experiencing results very quickly," stated Musheer Ahmed, CEO of FraudScope. "We are thrilled for the Highmark team and their astronomical fraud detection results and are pleased to have FraudScope play a role in their sophisticated payment integrity efforts."
According to Highmark's Spear, "AI is a game-changer for everyone," and their February 3 news release describes how they are seeing positive results from their use of FraudScope's AI capabilities which, combined with their established technologies and mature, experienced manual assessment process, has led to their industry leading effort.
FraudScope's AI platform was live with Highmark in less than three months and, according to the team, they are identifying suspect billing and coding scenarios that have the potential of realizing a significant return on their investment with FraudScope.
According to Latrisha Oswald, Director of Highmark Financial Investigations and Provider Review, "FraudScope and their team assisted with every step of the implementation process and continue to be a collaborative partner to consistently enhance and tailor the platform to our needs in order to identify potential FWA as close to real-time as possible."

Industry leaders to discuss how marketers can successfully adapt in a post-cookie world.

SAN MATEO, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
Jivox, the leader in personalized digital marketing, today announced its upcoming live webinar "What Marketers Need To Know As They Transition to Personalization Without Third-Party Cookies." The discussion will be co-hosted by Diaz Nesamoney, Jivox CEO and Founder, and Anna Luo, Jivox VP Customer Innovation and Marketing, and will take place on Tuesday, February 25 at 11 a.m. PT (1 p.m. CT/ 2 p.m. ET).
During the discussion, attendees will learn the implications of the demise of third-party cookies on the digital marketing ecosystem, the remaining options for brands to continue offering personalized messages to consumers, and key factors to consider during their transition to a post-cookie world.
"The entire advertising and marketing industry infrastructure has been built on third-party cookies and many marketers who have come to rely on that data to offer personalized experiences to consumers don't know what to do now that it's crumbling," said Nesamoney. "We are at a pivotal moment as an industry. If marketers don't start taking steps now to transition to a post-cookie world, they risk not only losing to the competition but more importantly, shattering the trust of consumers who depend on them to keep their data protected."
A recent survey from McKinsey states that 90% of consumers have concerns about online privacy, and half are limiting online usage because of these concerns. At the same time, 64% of digital marketers said this, along with regulations, will not prevent them from gathering future data they need to deliver personalized experiences. This webinar will provide marketers with a different approach to thriving in a post-cookie world.

With a focus on applied technical training, OPSWAT Academy delivers a uniquely modern curriculum essential for protecting critical infrastructure environments to mitigate cyberattacks

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
OPSWAT, a leader in critical infrastructure protection, today announced that more than 2,000 certifications have been issued to current and aspiring cybersecurity professionals from the OPSWAT Academy certification program, its new critical infrastructure protection (CIP) cybersecurity training and certification program that launched in late September 2019. OPSWAT Academy was established to tackle the increasing challenge of unfilled demand for cybersecurity professionals and the gap left by alternative programs that focus too much on theory and concepts rather than a hands-on approach to CIP training.
"One of the greatest vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure today is the grave deficiency of highly trained, qualified individuals needed to protect our nation's 16 CI sectors. We introduced OPSWAT Academy to tackle this problem" said Dan Lanir, vice president of customer success at OPSWAT. "Issuing over 2,000 certifications in the first four months doubles our initial projections and demonstrates that this type of experiential approach to cybersecurity training strikes a chord with both existing and aspiring CIP cybersecurity professionals."
OPSWAT Academy provides beginner, intermediate and advanced on-demand CIP cybersecurity education strategically designed to reflect real-world responsibilities and technical proficiencies rather than relying on theory alone. Specifically, the certification program helps prepare the workforce – whether a current cybersecurity professional, a student, or an employee within a critical infrastructure industry – for mission critical jobs that are now, more than ever, needed to combat advanced cyber threats.
"While there are quite a few training programs now focused on the CIP market, I signed up for OPSWAT Academy because of its focus on the practical applications and technologies that can be immediately applied to my professional development," said Shane Mahney, General Manager for EMT Distribution.
Since its launch, OPSWAT Academy has expanded to include five modules – all of which closely follow the Purdue Model, which establishes best practices on maintaining data security between ICS networks, enterprise networks, the internet, and now the expanded perimeter of the cloud. Looking ahead, OPSWAT plans to grow the certification program to include Network Access Control (NAC) and Software-Defined Perimeter (SDP) content in order to further expand their zero trust philosophy.
For more information about OPSWAT Academy and to register, please visit https://www.opswat.com/academy. Download our eBook, The Evolution of Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity Training, at https://info.opswat.com/ebook-evolution-of-critical-infrastructure-training.
About OPSWAT
OPSWAT protects critical infrastructure. We assume that any file or device entering, traversing, or leaving an enterprise could be a risk. To do this, we provide cyberthreat platforms that not only detect threats, they prevent them. Our platforms deliver a truly secure process for transferring files and devices to and from critical networks. OPSWAT provides this process to over 1,500 customers worldwide.

Process Tempo Predicts 2020 Will Begin a Decade of Turning Data Complexity into Actionable Simplicity.

MENDHAM, N.J. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
Process Tempo, the first cloud-based analytics platform designed to reduce data complexity, today released its first of several Vision and Insight 2020 predictions for the coming decade. In the document, Process Tempo points to the importance of data accessibility, data integration, and the concept of "process ingenuity" as key factors that will help progressive organizations find success.
"The dawn of a new decade is the perfect time for organizations to reflect, regroup and rethink their vision of the future," said Phil Meredith, CEO of Process Tempo. He added, "It's also a good time to analyze those companies that have operated ahead of the pack, to learn from them and to find ways to take advantage of what made them successful. What we have observed is that regardless of industry, the most successful organizations treat their data like a tech company would treat its core product or service. We see this trend continuing throughout the coming decade."
"Most organizations do not suffer from a lack of data, but do struggle with a high degree of data complexity. This complexity impacts their ability to turn data into useful information which is required for timely decisions," said Meredith. "I have seen scenarios in which data requests by business analysts can take over a month to be fulfilled, delaying decisions and increasing risk to the business. Progressive companies are investing in methods to remove these bottlenecks and enable self-service which is the approach we believe you'll see more companies take in the coming decade to adapt and compete."
Finally, as the amount and importance of data continues to escalate, Process Tempo predicts that the '20s will see companies looking for common-sense ways to separate data storage from data usage in order to improve cost efficiency. Technologies that can help keep software license costs contained will increase in popularity as they help organizations balance the data volume/data usage cost scale.
To download the 20/20 vision, visit https://www.processtempo.com/vision-insight-download or go to http://www.processtempo.com to learn more.
About Process Tempo Inc.
Process Tempo helps organizations achieve operational excellence by streamlining access to traditionally disconnected data sources and reduces data complexity to improve decision making. Process Tempo helps to bring people closer to data, thereby increasing collaboration and opening the doors for advanced analytics, modern data warehousing and artificial intelligence opportunities.

The 20s will belong to companies that minimize data complexity, drive collaboration and achieve new efficiencies.

Nautilus Platform will be accessible via DanelecConnect

NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
Nautilus Labs, the technology firm advancing the efficiency of ocean commerce through artificial intelligence, and Danelec Marine, the leading maritime data transmission service and navigation systems manufacturer—today announced a new data and IoT integration for predictive analytics and decision support.
"The underlying, raw material of every decision made at sea is data," said Leigh Jaffe, who leads partnerships at Nautilus. "But that data is only valuable when it's freed from system silos, reliably delivered back to shore, and transformed into actionable information for teams. We believe 'interoperability' will be the defining term of this decade—and that applies to organizations, as much as it does technology. And in this era of open ecosystems, we're extremely excited to join forces with forward thinking, service-oriented OEMs like Danelec—for the benefit of their clients and ours."
Denmark-based Danelec has more than 20 years of experience with maritime data technology. The company operates globally through an extensive network of authorized service partners with 600+ certified service technicians who have installed over 6,000 proprietary systems on vessels worldwide.
One of the main barriers for widespread adoption of IoT in the maritime industry includes the complexity and high cost of implementation. Danelec Marine addresses this challenge with their "ship-2-shore" cloud-based data solution, DanelecConnect, along with their small electronic remote server (VRS) that connects with the ship's Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) and a vast array of analog, digital or serial sensors throughout the vessel.
With Nautilus Platform, DanelecConnect commercial and technical clients will be able to directly access a user-friendly, actionable UI for historical, real-time, and predictive vessel data and analytics.
Expanding on this announcement, Casper Jensen, Danelec's Chief Operating Officer, noted, "With our simple and reliable ship data collection and processing along with the cost reduction of ship-to-shore communications, many more ships can—and will—be IoT-enabled within the next few years. Fleet optimization is no longer just an option in today's very competitive shipping industry; it's the only way for ship operators to manage their vessels and succeed. We're delighted to work with Nautilus Labs in transforming the maritime industry, together."
DanelecConnect users can request Nautilus Platform via https://nautiluslabs.co/demo.
ABOUT DANELEC MARINE
Headquartered in Denmark, Danelec Marine is a leading supplier of Voyage Data Recorders (VDRs), ship-to-shore data communication systems and Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). Danelec Marine was one of the first companies to bring to market VDRs and Simplified VDRs (S-VDRs) to meet the original IMO carriage requirements. More than 6,000 vessels today are equipped with a VDR or S-VDR designed and manufactured by Danelec Marine. The company has service facilities with factory-trained personnel in more than 50 countries and Certified Service Centers at strategic locations worldwide. To learn more about the Danelec difference, visit http://www.danelec-marine.com.
ABOUT NAUTILUS
Ocean commerce consumes over $100 billion dollars of fuel every year, nearly a third of which is the result of needless overconsumption. For owner-operators, reliance on manually collected and analyzed data makes it difficult to optimize fleet performance in real time. By providing a unified data platform that leverages machine learning, Nautilus helps clients make better decisions by maximizing the return for every vessel and voyage—and drive closer collaboration, greater transparency, and stronger accountability across their full fleets and shoreside teams, in real time.

Risk Based Security today released their 2019 Year End Vulnerability QuickView Report which encompasses the trends occurring within the computer vulnerability disclosure landscape.

RICHMOND, VA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
Risk Based Security today released their 2019 Year End Vulnerability QuickView Report which encompasses the trends occurring within the computer vulnerability disclosure landscape. Risk Based Security's VulnDB team aggregated 22,316 newly-disclosed vulnerabilities during 2019, finding that 37.26% had available exploit code or a Proof of Concept and that 33.43% of all vulnerabilities in 2019 had a CVSSv2 score of 7.0 and above.
Risk Based Security also identified a total of 302 vulnerabilities impacting Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), 289 of which have no known solution.
"As with any device that relies on code, there are vulnerabilities that can affect the system's integrity and you don't want anyone tampering with them. Only 13 EVM vulnerabilities have a known solution. To make matters worse, of those, only one has a CVE ID assigned and can be found cataloged in the U.S. National Vulnerability Database" commented Brian Martin, Vice President of Vulnerability Intelligence at Risk Based Security. "EVMs with vulnerabilities have been used in past elections, and will no doubt be used again in our next elections. It doesn't matter what politics or beliefs you subscribe to; the essence of democracy is a free, fair and secure election that captures the will of the people. The lack of visibility on this issue should be of deep concern to every American."
The full research is highlighted in the just released 2019 Year End Vulnerability QuickView Report. Additional key findings comment on the increasing amount of vulnerability disclosures being released on the same day due to "Patch Tuesday". With 2019 reaching an all-time high of 327 vulnerabilities being disclosed in a single day, Risk Based Security maintains that the practice, despite its initial good intentions is turning into a "nightmare" for many organizations.
"Patch Tuesday was created by Microsoft and it rolled out patches in a more scheduled and consistent manner. However, as the years have passed, more and more vendors are not only co-opting the concept of Patch Tuesday, but the day itself," Mr. Martin concludes. "What started with Microsoft has turned into a storm of vendor disclosures from major vendors like Adobe, SAP, Siemens, and Schneider Electric. More companies are starting to release on Patch Tuesday as well as at other times. Those vendors include Google, Apple, Mozilla, Intel, Cisco, F5, and Juniper. All of those potential releases are in addition to the typical disclosures seen on any "average" day."

Risk Based Security today released their 2019 Year End Vulnerability QuickView Report which encompasses the trends occurring within the computer vulnerability disclosure landscape.

RICHMOND, VA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
Risk Based Security today released their 2019 Year End Vulnerability QuickView Report which encompasses the trends occurring within the computer vulnerability disclosure landscape. Risk Based Security's VulnDB team aggregated 22,316 newly-disclosed vulnerabilities during 2019, finding that 37.26% had available exploit code or a Proof of Concept and that 33.43% of all vulnerabilities in 2019 had a CVSSv2 score of 7.0 and above.
Risk Based Security also identified a total of 302 vulnerabilities impacting Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs), 289 of which have no known solution.
"As with any device that relies on code, there are vulnerabilities that can affect the system's integrity and you don't want anyone tampering with them. Only 13 EVM vulnerabilities have a known solution. To make matters worse, of those, only one has a CVE ID assigned and can be found cataloged in the U.S. National Vulnerability Database" commented Brian Martin, Vice President of Vulnerability Intelligence at Risk Based Security. "EVMs with vulnerabilities have been used in past elections, and will no doubt be used again in our next elections. It doesn't matter what politics or beliefs you subscribe to; the essence of democracy is a free, fair and secure election that captures the will of the people. The lack of visibility on this issue should be of deep concern to every American."
The full research is highlighted in the just released 2019 Year End Vulnerability QuickView Report. Additional key findings comment on the increasing amount of vulnerability disclosures being released on the same day due to "Patch Tuesday". With 2019 reaching an all-time high of 327 vulnerabilities being disclosed in a single day, Risk Based Security maintains that the practice, despite its initial good intentions is turning into a "nightmare" for many organizations.
"Patch Tuesday was created by Microsoft and it rolled out patches in a more scheduled and consistent manner. However, as the years have passed, more and more vendors are not only co-opting the concept of Patch Tuesday, but the day itself," Mr. Martin concludes. "What started with Microsoft has turned into a storm of vendor disclosures from major vendors like Adobe, SAP, Siemens, and Schneider Electric. More companies are starting to release on Patch Tuesday as well as at other times. Those vendors include Google, Apple, Mozilla, Intel, Cisco, F5, and Juniper. All of those potential releases are in addition to the typical disclosures seen on any "average" day."

According to a New Report by Metaari, the Revenues are Heavily Concentrated in North America and the Asia Pacific throughout the Forecast Period

SEATTLE (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 18, 2020
The growth rate for AR, VR, and Simulation-based Learning across the planet is a healthy 14.2% and revenues will surge to $15.6 billion by 2025 according to a new report called "The Worldwide 2020-2025 AR, VR, and Simulation-based Learning Market" by Metaari (formerly Ambient Insight).
AR, VR, and Simulation-based (MR) is defined as an integration of simulation, location-based learning, Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and the biophysical environment along an immersion spectrum. This immersion spectrum is described in the AR, VR, and Simulation-based Immersion Spectrum section of the report. AR, VR, and Simulation are often referred to as Mixed Reality or XR.
The new report has 281 pages, 31 forecast tables, and 13 charts. The Serious Play Conference is the exclusive reseller of the report. The report has tiered pricing and can be purchased here: https://seriousplayconf.com/downloads/metaari-2020-ar-vr-sim-based-learning-report/
"The global market for AR, VR, and Simulation-based Learning is in the midst of profound innovation and transformation (if not outright disruption)," comments Sam S. Adkins, Metaari's Chief Researcher and author of the report. "These innovations are exponential in the sense that they are not small incremental linear innovations common to traditional products; they are fundamentally new types of learning products. The one common characteristic of these new learning technologies is that they enable real-time performance improvement."
The current AR, VR, and Simulation-based Learning market is being driven by the demand for products in the industrial verticals, military agencies, and healthcare sectors in the developed economies. The demand for tourism and travel experiences is now present in both developed and developing economies.
There are three sections in this report: an analysis of the major catalysts driving the market, a demand side-analysis, and a supply-side analysis. The analysis of the catalysts provides a detailed discussion of the seven major catalysts driving the global AR, VR, and Simulation-based Learning market.
The demand-side analysis breaks out five-year revenues forecasts for seven international regions and by six buying segments. Five-year forecasts are provided for seven regions: Africa, Asia Pacific, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, North America, and Western Europe.
The supply-side analysis provides revenue forecasts for three major product categories: packaged retail content (further broken out by eight distinct content types), custom content development services, and authoring tools & platforms.
"In educational psychology, there are two phases of the learning process: knowledge transfer and learning transfer," adds Adkins. "Knowledge transfer is the transmission of information and skills to the learner. Learning transfer is the ability of the learner to demonstrate mastery in a real world setting. Next-generation AR, VR, and Simulation-based products (particularly the new augmented field force performance support products on the market) effectively accomplish both phases simultaneously."
Over 770 suppliers operating in 126 countries across the globe are identified in this report to help suppliers locate domestic distributors, partners, and potential merger and acquisition (M&A) targets.
About Metaari
Metaari (formerly Ambient Insight) is an ethics-based quantitative market research firm that identifies revenue opportunities for advanced learning technology suppliers. We track the learning technology markets in 126 countries. We have the most complete view of the international learning technology market in the industry. Metaari focusses solely on advanced learning technology research on products that utilize psychometrics, neuroscience, location-based learning (location intelligence), game mechanics, robotics, cognitive computing, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality.

Talon, a leader in next generation software-defined storage solutions enabling global enterprises to centralize and consolidate IT storage infrastructure, today announced record growth and expansion for the 2019 fiscal year.
Talon's strategic alliances with key players such as Microsoft and NetApp continue to drive significant exposure and adoption in global enterprises.

FAST is even more compelling as it can leverage the new centralized storage platforms that did not exist previously, opening up formerly impractical use-cases for large global organizations.
"Edge computing and distributed storage have not been traditionally targeted as workloads suitable for cloud migration, due to both geographic issues, like distance and associated latencies, and a perceived lack of connectivity to file storage offerings in the cloud," said Shirish Phatak, CEO, Talon. "However, with the increasing awareness and adoption of cloud-enabling technologies and new platforms from major storage players, - 2019 saw tangible market traction for enterprise-class cloud storage solutions that are flexible, easy to use and manage, and cost-effective. These results reveal that an unprecedented number of worldwide customers that have helped us firmly establish the Talon brand globally, providing a robust start as we enter 2020."
Commissioned research in 2019 surveying users across Talon's worldwide customer base confirm the trend to cloud consolidation. Datapoints from the Q4 research include:

50% of Talon users have 100TB+ of file server footprint

Strong preference (74.08%) to move the file server workload to cloud within 24 months

Strong preference (63%) for managed offerings such as Azure NetApp Files and Cloud Volumes Services over build-your-own IaaS storage

Highlights that contributed to Talon's 2019 success include:

Sales and Growth: Talon significantly increased sales and customer footprint, realizing an increase of 30% sales and customer acquisition over the previous year.

Customers: 2019 wins include medical manufacturing companies Intuitive Surgical, and Convatec; financial sector wins at Jera Global Markets, a leading utility-backed seaborne energy trader; AustralianSuper, the largest Australian superannuation and pension fund; and Intermediate Capital Groups, a global alternative asset manager. In addition, the wins include engineering firms Skanska, Mott MacDonald, JUB Engineering, WSP Global, and travel group Expedia.

AdPlugg now using intelligent logic to rotate ads

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 19, 2020
Today, AdPlugg announced the release of an intelligent ad rotation feature. The intelligent ad rotation feature builds on AdPlugg's existing timed rotate feature. The new intelligent logic consists of a set of conditions used to determine when to rotate the ads on a page. Conditions include whether the browser is currently in view, whether the ad is currently in view, whether the user is active (or has maybe stepped away from their computer or device), and more.
AdPlugg has offered the ability to rotate ads on a timer since 2015. With AdPlugg's original timed rotate feature, publishers could enter a rotation interval into their settings and after the rotation interval elapsed, the ads would rotate. This feature has been popular with publishers but has lacked the ability to make intelligent decisions about rotation.
The new intelligent ad rotation feature greatly improves on the original timed rote feature by adding over a dozen rotation conditions and triggers. If the user switches tabs or switches to a different application, rotation will be paused. If the user scrolls vertically or horizontally so that less than half the ad is within view, rotation will be paused. These controls are optionally enabled by the publisher. The publisher can also optionally set an inactivity timeout. With this setting, the rotation will pause if the user doesn't scroll or interact with the page for more than a pre-configured amount of time (default is five seconds).
"Intelligent ad rotation is a wonderful feature. Having the ad rotation pause when you step away from your computer or when you scroll past the ad is one of those features that becomes a must-have after the first time that you try it." said AdPlugg CEO, Collin Krawll.
The new intelligent ad rotation feature is available with all AdPlugg plans including AdPlugg's popular Free Plan.
About AdPlugg
AdPlugg is an online advertising system that provides tools for advertisers and publishers to use to manage and serve their ads. Users can set up an account instantly and start serving ads from their cloud based ad server within minutes.

Mobile Device Capture and Cloud Storage Acquisition Options Expand Access to Digital Forensic Evidence

CHATSWORTH, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 19, 2020
Logicube Inc., a global leader in digital forensic imaging technology, has announced two new software subscription options for the company's premier forensic imaging solution, Falcon-NEO.
The Mobile Device Capture option allows users to quickly capture potential evidence data from iOS and Android mobile devices. The Cloud Storage Acquisition option acquires digital evidence from cloud-based drives, including Google Drive and Dropbox. The options are sold as renewable, annual software subscriptions.
"We are excited to add these new options to our ground-breaking forensic imager, Falcon-NEO," commented Farid Emrani, President and CEO of Logicube. "The Falcon-NEO is the only forensic imager on the market that has the capability to capture data from hard drives, external storage devices, network repositories, and now both mobile devices and cloud drives. This versatility, all in a single device, along with unmatched performance and advanced features catapults the Falcon-NEO to the top of the list of must-have imaging tools for digital forensic investigators, "continued Emrani.
The Cloud Storage Acquisition option will allow investigators to acquire all files stored in Google Drive and Dropbox. Support for other cloud-based drives may be added in the future. The option, used with Falcon-NEO's File to File imaging mode, allows users to browse files, use filters or keyword search function to select and acquire the specific files needed. Files can be captured to any hard drive or network repository connected to the Falcon-NEO.
The Mobile Device Capture option easily captures evidence data from mobile devices including call logs, iMessages, SMS, MMS, photos, videos, contacts, activity, website history and Wi-Fi settings. Deleted SMS, iMessages, photos, WhatsApp and contacts can also be captured. The option supports iOS (up to version 13.3) and Android (4.0 to 10) phones and tablets. The software will perform an iOS backup for passkey unlocked iOS devices and perform a physical acquisition for rooted Android devices and a logical acquisition of contacts, call logs, SMS and calendar data for non-rooted Android devices.
"Forensic investigators are faced with a staggering number of sources for potential digital evidence. Whether it is in the field or in the lab, they need to be prepared with the right solution to quickly capture evidence data from any source they encounter. The Falcon-NEO has been designed to streamline the evidence collection process and meet the technological challenges faced by law enforcement, government and corporate security investigators, now and in the future," commented Mr. Emrani.

Los-Angeles area Hispanic grocer adopts advanced technology to enable further growth.

SANTA FE SPRINGS, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 19, 2020
Superior Grocers will implement the Itasca Magic Computer Generated Ordering and Inventory Optimization solution. The 46-store chain will also license the Itasca DSD Receiving solution.
Itasca Retail's Magic software uses historical sales data and current shelf and selling conditions to calculate the exact right order amounts for tens of thousands of items at any time of the day. This ensures each store always has the right stock levels to fulfill shopper demand. The system combines sophisticated algorithms, artificial intelligence and machine learning along with deep understanding of the North American grocery replenishment process to generate impressive gains in sales and productivity. It simultaneously reduces inventory, shrink, product-handling and vendor credits.
Superior Grocers is one of the largest independently-owned chains of grocery stores in Southern California. It anticipates a positive impact on customer service through automating the ordering process and optimizing store inventory. As a result, Superior's shoppers will experience near-perfect availability of the products on their shopping lists. Additionally, they will see the friendly faces of Superior associates more often as ordering tasks are handled accurately, by computer.
"Grocers today can't compete by trying to complete manual tasks accurately, much less on-time," said Richard Wardwell, Superior's President. "My experience has taught me that leveraging this type of technology will allow Superior to be more strategic as pressures on our operating costs continue to rise. We want to have tools that ensure we are in-business on the products our customers want, and Itasca does just that."
Jeff Kennedy, Itasca's President and Co-founder, said, "Superior Grocers is embarking on the same path to increased profitability and improved customer service our current customers' experience. Choosing both Magic and DSD Receiving will prove to be excellent decisions for an extended period of time. We are truly pleased to help Superior advance its approach to inventory and we welcome them to the Itasca family of customers."

Itasca Retail Information Systems invents and builds industry-leading solutions for Inventory Management, DSD, Computer Generated Ordering (CGO) and associated data management.

LONDON (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 19, 2020
Intui Travel, a leader in airport transfer services, announced today that it has expanded its operations. The company now partners with travel agencies and tour operators in 117 countries. Intui Travel's API allows to implement the seamless custom integration of airports, ports, railway stations, major tourist attractions transfers bookings directly on online travel agencies' and other travel industry websites.
Such API integration positively impacts the local businesses in two different ways. Travel Agencies and Tour Operators can offer an additional service to their customers, and extend the value chain. Additionally, the local transport companies in all 156 countries can get pre-qualified and registered with Intui Travel to generate additional revenue.
"Airport Transfer as a Service can be a real headache, or worse, without the right partner," said Alena Balakhnicheva, Chief Marketing Officer of Intui Travel. "It's usually not a big problem to get to someone's local airport with no major issues. But, when your clients land in a foreign country, you might find yourself having great difficulty finding a safe, reliable and affordable transfer to the ultimate destination for travel agencies' customers. That's the problem we solve. And now, we're doing it in more countries than ever before."
Travelers can book airport transfers on the company's website, https://en.intui.travel/, which is available in seven languages.

Intui vets all transfer providers, requiring that they carry insurance and meet safety standards. "Getting a ride with an uninsured, random taxi in some countries can result in serious problems or even tragedy," Balakhnicheva added. "It's wise to know whom you're dealing with before you get on the plane."
The company has been operating for seven years. Intui Travel works with affiliates, offering a customizable white label version and API for integration of bookings of transfers for the travel agents and tour operators websites.

SC Magazine recognizes BreachLock Inc. as an Industry innovator for 2020 in the Analysis and Testing category for its innovative approach and building a cloud platform tailored to security testing needs of SaaS companies.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 19, 2020
BreachLock Inc, a market leader in Penetration Testing as a Service and Vulnerability Management for SaaS companies, announced that it has been recognized as an Industry Innovator in the Analysis and testing category as part of the December 2019 SC Media Reboot special coverage. Innovators are recognized for showcasing outstanding leadership and providing superior security products to the cybersecurity industry. BreachLock Inc. is one of the four vendors inducted in Analysis and testing category.
"There are four vendors recognized for their 2019 Analysis and Testing innovations, two of which specialize in breach and attack simulation (BAS)." added SC Labs consultant Cortney Wilmering. "The contribution of human hackers in BreachLock's algorithm cannot be overstated. Their expertise contributes to faster and more comprehensive automated scans and tests that, in turn, keep organizations a step ahead of hackers from the other side."
BreachLock Inc. offers a unique SaaS platform that combines the benefits of human augmented and AI-powered automated scanning technologies to help customers find and fix a cyber breach before it happens. The platform executes in-depth manual penetration testing and provides customers with both online and offline reports.
Throughout the process, customers have access to a team of SaaS and security experts for any support they need to find, fix, and prevent a cyber breach. The platform's intuitive UI was created to provide a single pane view to an enterprise's cloud, network, and application security posture. The UI allows customers to navigate the whole testing process with just a few clicks.
Powered by the AI-based self-learning engine Core OS, the platform offers three main functionalities including, Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), Network Vulnerability Assessment, and Penetration Testing. DAST is utilizing an AI-powered web-scanner to help customers test applications while they are running in production or acceptance environments. The Network Vulnerability Assessment is used to scan networks to discover known vulnerabilities that are platform or network-specific. Penetration Testing lets the customers control the life cycle of a network or application manual penetration test with just a few clicks.
BreachLock Inc.'s platform allows customers to find and fix potential cyber breaches through a cyclic four-step process. The first step involves adding users to BreachLock Inc.'s SaaS, create a dedicated ticketing workflow for each project, and provide the users with the information they need to scope and schedule the test. The next step is focused on the execution of manual tests or automated scans. The offline and online reports are then sent to users. In the third step, BreachLock Inc. offers support, remediation advice, and extra validation at no additional cost. The final step is retesting.
As part of their annual, end-of-the-year Reboot special coverage, the SC Lab's team selects new and innovative products and vendors that stand out for their strength, creativity and strategic placement in the market. Reboot looks back at the most compelling insights in the last year, while simultaneously looking ahead. The Innovators ebook also includes a "Hall of Fame," showcasing companies that have been selected as innovators for three years running.
"Organizations need a better way to find and fix potential cyber breaches before they happen. Over-reliance on automated vulnerability management tools leads to a lack of context for discovered vulnerabilities. This results in added complexity and eventually leaves an organization exposed to cyberthreats," said S. Sehgal, CEO of BreachLock Inc. "Recognition from SC Magazine as an industry innovator further validates our ability to help SaaS and Cloud-based businesses to find critical flaws across there IT stack and enable security teams to proactively protect their organization's most critical assets."
BreachLock Inc. has become in a short time a prominent player in the Vulnerability Management market. During this period, they managed to have a constant success rate and they delivered only the best quality services. Furthermore, they are focused on strengthening and innovating AI and ML capabilities.

National grocery chain reports an estimated 50% decrease in time spent managing IT infrastructure with Scale Computing HE150

INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 19, 2020
Scale Computing, the market leader in edge computing, virtualization and hyperconverged solutions, today announced Jerry's Foods, a national grocery store chain that includes Cub Foods, County Market, and Save-A-Lot, has implemented Scale Computing HE150 in the HC3 Edge family to power its IT infrastructure for in-store edge computing. Post-implementation, Jerry's Foods has reported major improvements in secure disaster recovery, time spent on managing its IT infrastructure and cost savings for its 50 national retail, grocery, liquor and hardware store locations.
Founded in 1947 at Grandview Market in Edina, Minnesota by Jerry Paulsen, Jerry's Foods has a unique commitment to the customer and a strong history of excellence. For over 50 years, Jerry's Foods has remained an integral part of their neighborhood, focused on being purposeful, family-focused and serving the smart shopper. Jerry's Foods has 50 national retail, grocery, liquor and hardware store locations in the United States within Minnesota and Florida. With customer service as its top priority, Jerry's Foods was in need of a modern business solution capable of keeping pace with the advances in technology, while remaining high-performing, self-healing, simple to manage and able to scale for future demands.
"With no IT staff on-site, and with potential downtime costing us varying amounts reaching into the tens of thousands of dollars, downtime is not an option for us," explained Jeff Miller, director of IT at Jerry's Foods. "I was blown away by the simplicity and functionality of Scale Computing HE150, which works extremely well. Our corporate and remote locations have a backup location that we can failover to, and within a minute, it can be turned on and brought up right away. It is safe to say I am sleeping better at night."
Before choosing Scale Computing, Jerry's Foods was using a legacy virtualization system for its IT infrastructure, which was found to be costly, unreliable, and difficult to operate and manage. Jerry's Foods turned to Scale Computing HE150 for enterprise-class features that could be deployed quickly, managed locally and remotely, and provide self-healing technology to provide Jerry's Foods with almost instant failover and minimal downtime. With Scale Computing, Jerry's Foods has:

Reduced its cost per instance by 50% over a five year time period, as compared to previous legacy virtualization systems

Rapid, trouble-free implementation and deployment

Experienced an estimated 50% decrease on the time spent managing IT infrastructure

Reported major improvements to its DVR security camera system rollout for its multi-grocery store location model, therefore creating a backup and redundancy solution where there was none in place before

With only five full IT team members and no IT staff on-site at its many grocery store locations, Jerry's Foods needed a solution that could be clustered for high availability, managed remotely with ease, and have the computing power needed for on-site applications. After implementing Scale Computing HE150, Jerry's Foods has reported maximum uptime and connectivity for business critical systems such as point of sales, electronic customer loyalty programs, and electronic benefit transfer (EBT). Jerry's Foods also turned to Scale Computing for their backup strategy, leveraging the Scale Computing Data Protection Suite.
"High-performance, simplicity and reliability is of utmost importance for any organization, especially an organization like Jerry's Foods, where downtime can both stop sales and damage the brand with their customers," commented Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder, Scale Computing. "With Scale Computing HE150, Jerry's Foods now has an edge computing infrastructure that provides peace of mind for running on-site applications reliably, while still being easy to operate for a lean IT team."
Scale Computing's HE150 appliance is a small compute appliance that delivers all of the simplicity, efficiency and enterprise-ready virtualization associated with Scale Computing's HC3 platform. Built specifically for sites that need highly available infrastructure, the HE150 can be deployed almost anywhere, without requiring a rack or server closet. Taking up only the space needed to stack three smartphones, it also includes disaster recovery, high availability clustering, rolling upgrades and integrated data protection.
About Scale Computing
Scale Computing is a leader in edge computing, virtualization, and hyperconverged solutions. Scale Computing HC3 software eliminates the need for traditional virtualization software, disaster recovery software, servers, and shared storage, replacing these with a fully integrated, highly available system for running applications. Using patented HyperCore technology, the HC3 self-healing platform automatically identifies, mitigates, and corrects infrastructure problems in real-time, enabling applications to achieve maximum uptime. When ease-of-use, high availability, and TCO matter, Scale Computing HC3 is the ideal infrastructure platform.

BullGuard-commissioned research reveals small to medium businesses in the US and UK are at increased risk of data breach and cyber attack -- and 43% of SMBs have no cybersecurity defense plan in place

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 19, 2020
New research commissioned by and published today by cybersecurity company, BullGuard, revealed an alarming number of small businesses in the US and UK are not prepared for a potential cyber attack or breach. One-third of companies with 50 or fewer employees report using free, consumer-grade cybersecurity, and one in five companies use no endpoint security whatsoever. Additionally, worrisome, the study found 43% of SMB owners have no cybersecurity defense plan in place at all – leaving their most sensitive financial, customer and business data, and ultimately their companies, at significant risk.
"Small businesses are not immune to cyber attacks and data breaches, and are often targeted specifically because they often fail to prioritize security," said Paul Lipman, CEO of BullGuard. "Caught between inadequate consumer solutions and overly complex enterprise software, many small business owners may be inclined to skip cybersecurity. It only takes one attack, however, to bring a business to its knees."
The study also revealed some glaring discrepancies between what SMB owners believe versus what is actually occurring in the market. Nearly 60% of SMB owners believe their business is unlikely to be targeted by cyber criminals, however the results revealed that 18.5% of SMB owners have suffered from a cyber attack or data breach within the past year. Unfortunately, while securing data can be simple, remediation is not. Companies that fall victim to a cyber attack often experience significant downtime that seriously impacts productivity, data privacy, and even revenue. Once breached, 25% of SMB owners stated they had to spend $10,000 or more to resolve the attack, which could be devastating for a small company. As for time lost, 50% of SMB owners said it took 24 hours or longer to recover from a breach or cyber attack, while 25% reported they lost business as a result, and almost 40% stated they lost crucial data.
Despite these numbers, many SMB owners are overly confident in the safety of their company and customer data. One in five SMB owners surveyed stated their organization has zero vulnerabilities, however 50% of SMB owners stated their employees do not receive any cybersecurity training.
A significant number, 65%, of SMB owners report managing their cybersecurity in-house, but less than 10% say they have a dedicated IT staff member. The right solution makes it simple and extremely cost-effective for SMBs to manage their own cybersecurity, ensuring their business is secure and protected.
Conducted in January 2020, the BullGuard-commissioned survey queried a total of 3,083 small business owners in the US (1,551) and the UK (1,532) with 50 employees or less. A press kit including graphs, charts, logos and other assets related to the research study can be accessed here.

MYSTIC, CONN. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
Stratedia is proud to announce that they have recently earned the top spot as Best SEO Companies in CT. They earned this ranking due to an in-depth analysis of Clutch's in depth client interviews and clients success based on the services they received.
Looking to rebrand your company with an engaging website that ranks high in the search engines? Contact stratedia today at https://stratedia.com/
SEO companies displaying highly have gone through a rigorous evaluation process performed by the Clutch team at clutch.co. To earn this ranking a company must have a reputation for the services performed, results and their clients opinions of working with them. Clutch.co has over 130 companies in CT who rank for these services in Connecticut and Stratedia currently ranks #1.
At Stratedia, they'll optimize your entire web presence. They create websites that are visually beautiful and even more important, built to display your company at the the top of Google for the services your business offers over time.
We caught up with the founder of Stratedia, Steve Bibby, for more info on what seo means to Stratedia. Here's what he had to say. "In today's current digital marketplace, SEO is everything. if you are building a website or currently have one, that was not built from the ground up with SEO in mind, you are most likely losing money on a daily basis."
"SEO is your opportunity to invest in your companies future. SEO is a commitment and it takes time. Think of it like this, Google is not only a search engine but it is a real estate firm and the first page is Main Street and everyone wants the apartment on the top floor with the view of the city skyline view. If you do not have a strategy or are not working with someone who does, to get you to the top, then you will never get there and we all know, the closer top the top of the page you are, the more opportunities you will get."
Need a strong seo and digital presence? Contact stratedia today at https://stratedia.com/company/connecticut-website-design-seo/
We asked Steve some questions about how the current state of seo, here is what he said:
1. How does a local business with a limited budget get to the top of Google rankings? " Wow, great question. Everyday that gets more complicated with the amount of sites being added to the web on a daily basis, especially niche sites. So if I were a business starting out today, I would pay a lot of attention to my Google Business Listing and make sure all of my information is correct, that my services and categories are listed and I am consistently adding pictures to my profile. This will go along way to helping you begin your digital presence.
2. Most of your reviews speak to how you "help clients understand seo". How are you able to do that? "No matter if I am discussing SEO, Website Design or any other service, it is really important for the overall success of both the client and myself that they understand exactly how SEO works or any other product process, from my perspective. I try to simplify things for them the best I can. Most importantly, they need to understand that there is no magic potion that will get them there today and that if they invest in me and I invest in them, we could have a powerful partnership 6-8 months down the line. In most cases, that is how long it is going to take to begin to gain a presence in your "real estate". However, if they can invest in Stratedia we will make it happen for them.

California Senator Ling Ling Chang has invited Dogtown Media CEO and Co-Founder Marc Fischer to deliver a keynote speech to 450 K-12 students about technology's potential to improve lives at California's upcoming Senate App Challenge Awards Ceremony. The event aims to educate youth about STEM and offers them the opportunity to compete in an app creation contest.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
In 2030, the tech industry may find itself in a talent shortage. 4.3 million jobs are projected to go unfilled by this year. In the United States alone, this could lead to $162 billion in lost revenue. How do we address this? By giving the tech workers of tomorrow the tools and motivation they need to succeed today.
Ling Ling Chang, California Senator for the 29th district, aims to do exactly that with the second-ever California Senate App Challenge Awards Ceremony. The upcoming event strives to foster STEM education in younger generations by exposing K-12 students to activities such as coding and mobile app design. It will also give them the opportunity to learn from inspirational leaders in STEM and showcase their app creations in a special competition.
Since taking office in 2018, Senator Chang has demonstrated a strong commitment to the stewardship of technology. Besides being recognized as a "Tech Champion" by the Computing Technology Industry Association, Chang was also named California's inaugural Fellow of STEMx Policy, a multi-state endeavor to emphasize STEM more in education. Recently, she authored and introduced bipartisan legislation to combat cybercrime.
Chang has invited Marc Fischer, CEO and Co-Founder of mobile app development company Dogtown Media, to deliver the keynote address at the California Senate App Challenge Awards Ceremony.
"It's an absolute honor to speak with the next generation about the potential that STEM has to improve lives," Fischer said. "I thank Senator Chang for inspiring, educating, and fostering a passion for technological innovation in our youth."
Headquartered in Venice Beach, California, Dogtown Media is a mobile technology studio that leverages disruptive design strategies and dynamic development to deliver industry-leading apps. To date, the company has created over 200 mobile apps in industries including Healthcare app development, IoT, and Artificial Intelligence. The firm recently returned to the Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Companies in America for the 3rd year in a row.
The California Senate App Challenge Awards Ceremony will be held on February 21, 2020, from 5 pm to 7 pm at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda, CA.

LogRhythm Recognized for its SIEM Platform's Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

BOULDER, COLO. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
LogRhythm, the company powering today's security operations centers (SOCs), announced that it has been positioned as a Leader by Gartner, Inc. in the 2020 "Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management" research report.
According to Gartner, "The security information and event management (SIEM) market is defined by customers' need to analyze security event data in real time, which supports the early detection of attacks and breaches. SIEM systems collect, store, investigate, support mitigation and report on security data for incident response, forensics and regulatory compliance. The vendors included in this Magic Quadrant have products designed for this purpose, which they actively market and sell to the security buying center."1
"We are honored to be recognized as a SIEM Leader by Gartner for the eighth time in a row. We believe this underscores LogRhythm's leadership in the market, validates the strength of our vision for NextGen SIEM, and speaks to LogRhythm's innovative and forward-thinking approach to SIEM development," said Mark Logan, CEO of LogRhythm. "More importantly is seeing how our efforts have positively impacted our customers, whether that's by preventing analyst burnout, easily and rapidly surfacing threats, or providing the means for greater governance of their corporate security initiatives. The list of challenges security practitioners face is daunting, and we're thrilled that our platform is helping our customers stay ahead of those challenges."
To help address these challenges, LogRhythm made several advancements to its offerings through 2019, addressing both the operational and financial aspects of cybersecurity. These include removing the need for customers to self-manage their SIEM infrastructure through the release of LogRhythm Cloud, making it easier to automatically detect pre-vetted anomalous behavior through the development of a complimentary module that aligns the platform with MITRE ATT&CK, and creating the industry's first-ever fixed cost licensing model — the True Unlimited Data Plan — so that LogRhythm customers don't have to sacrifice security because of cost unpredictability.
During this time, LogRhythm also received recognition from its customers. The company hosted a record-breaking number of attendees at its most recent user conference. LogRhythm was also recognized as a 2019 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for SIEM for the third consecutive time. Recognition is determined based on independently verified feedback and ratings from end-user professionals who have experience purchasing, implementing, or using the solutions they review.

Software innovators Andrew Fuqua and Mike Clement originated the free-spirited event, where attendees set the agenda and engage directly, as an alternative to conventional conferences with rigid agendas and one-way dialogues.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
ConnectALL, an integration provider dedicated to helping companies achieve higher levels of productivity, agility and velocity, today announced it is a sponsor of the upcoming Lean+Agile Unconference. Slated for Friday, February 20, 2020 from 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM, the event will be held in the Forsyth Conference Center at Lanier Technical College just outside Atlanta. ConnectALL VP of Products Andrew Fuqua will be speaking at the event, along with Software Craftmanship Architect Mike Clement.
"ConnectALL is excited to be sponsoring this conference, which is an innovator in its own right," said ConnectALL CEO Brett Taylor. "We're supporting Andrew and his co-presenter and colleague in every way possible."
Unlike "hard-coded" conventional conferences, attendees at the Unconference will gather and build a unique, mutual agenda and then convene five sessions where they can exchange ideas, share peer-to-peer learning, and engage in meaningful conversations revolving around the software world's two hottest topics: lean and agile.
"The Unconference connects the software industry's most passionate evangelists and places them together in an atmosphere of creativity and encouragement," said ConnectALL COO Lance Knight. "This inspiration helps organizations evolve their visions for using lean and agile to achieve higher levels of visibility and agility."
Fuqua and Clement both have strong track records as software innovators, and the Unconference is just the latest example of their efforts to make software engineering more approachable and less rigid.
"Mike and I developed the Unconference as a direct response to traditional conference environments," said Fuqua. "Rather than pigeonholing attendees into predetermined tracks or themes, the Unconference is a loosely structured gathering where topics and themes are generated by the attendees. The agenda can go wherever they want it to go."
"We also eliminated classroom-style conference sessions, where presenters deliver content in a one-way stream with no attendee engagement," Clements adds. "The Unconference allows ideas to flourish and evolve as the day goes by."
Fuqua came to ConnectALL with a 30-year history of using an iterative and incremental approach to crafting software and a long career as an Enterprise Transformation Consultant at LeadingAgile. Clements is the Architect/Team Lead at Emmersion Learning. Passionate about agile technical excellence, he also founded and organizes Software Crafters Atlanta and previously organized the Agile Roots conference, among other achievements.
Although attendance at the Unconference is strictly capped to ensure a high-quality experience for everyone, a limited number of tickets are still available: https://www.leanagileatlanta.com/index.html.

Polyient spinoff establishes the first open-gaming infrastructure to help spur growth in blockchain-based games.

PHOENIX (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
Polyient Labs, an early-stage incubator helping blockchain-adjacent startups succeed, today announced the creation of Polyient Games, a spinoff devoted to funding and accelerating growth in the blockchain-gaming ecosystem.
Polyient Games is the first open, collaborative gaming environment designed to support all constituents in the gaming universe - investors, developers and gamers.
"The blockchain community rejects 'closed' systems," says Brad Robertson, Polyient CEO. "In that spirit, Polyient Games offers a completely open system where developers can build new games, investors can uncover new opportunities and players can experience blockchain gaming - even if they've never interacted with a blockchain-based game in the past."
Polyient Games is chain-agonistic, meaning it's not tied to any one specific blockchain network. This means the success of future Polyient-related projects and investments will not be linked to any one single technology. Instead, growth will be driven by social interaction.
Polyient Games will also include a funding arm to support gaming startups as well as organizations exploring new opportunities in and around non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Launching Polyient Games marks the latest step in Polyient Labs' continued progression into the gaming, NFT and digital-collectible sectors. In early February, Polyient announced it was incubating Cargo - digital marketplace and warehouse where users can create, store and sell NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain. Since then, Polyient invested in NYC-based Blockade Games, a blockchain game development studio.
Now, with the launch Polyient Games, Polyient is fully positioned to support and expand the growing blockchain-gaming industry.    
About Polyient
Polyient Labs is an early-stage business incubator helping blockchain-adjacent startups grow by providing them with capital infusion, insight, guidance and talent. Polyient has been featured in Forbes, Hacker Noon, American Banker, VentureBeat and other publications.
About Polyient Games
Polyient Games is a collaborative, blockchain-gaming ecosystem where startups, stakeholders, gamers and other constituents work together to establish cross-chain industry standards.

The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) has invited Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's Dennis Bouvier, PhD, to enrich Academy Cadets' academic experience as a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Computer and Cyber Sciences.

EDWARDSVILLE, ILL. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
The United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) has invited Southern Illinois University Edwardsville's Dennis Bouvier, PhD, to enrich Academy Cadets' academic experience as a Distinguished Visiting Professor of Computer and Cyber Sciences from June 2020-May 2021.
Located in Colorado Springs, the USAFA's highly ranked university offers more than 30 majors and has approximately 400 faculty members, both civilian and active military. Its visiting faculty program invites outstanding educators, who can be released from their home institution for the duration of the assignment, to join its faculty and enhance student learning.
Bouvier, a professor in the School of Engineering's Department of Computer Science, plans to live on base and teach courses related to computer science. He will return to his normal duties at SIUE upon completion of the opportunity, having gained new knowledge and invigorated ideas to enhance his teaching and scholarship.
"I've had the good fortune of meeting faculty from other colleges and visiting other institutions," said Bouvier. "In nearly every visit, even if for only a couple days, I have learned something valuable. Some of these lessons I've brought to SIUE through changes in the way I teach a class or present a course topic."
"If a short visit can teach me something, surely spending a year at another institution, especially one with a strong reputation for high standards, would be a learning experience," he added. "In particular, I am interested to see how the Air Force Academy teaches cybersecurity topics and courses."
Bouvier was recently recognized as a co-author of a computer science paper deemed #4 most influential in recent history by the Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Computer Science Education. He is also an active educator who teaches myriad computer science courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and consistently helps students coordinate such competitions as SheCode, WeCode and eHacks.
Bouvier's assignment will conclude with the USAFA's May 2021 commencement ceremony.
The SIUE School of Engineering is one of the largest engineering schools in the region. It offers comprehensive and affordable engineering programs with eight undergraduate degrees, five master's degrees and two cooperative doctoral programs. Students learn from expert faculty, perform cutting-edge research, and participate in intercollegiate design competitions. Companies in the metropolitan St. Louis area provide students challenging internships and co-op opportunities, which often turn into permanent employment. Students gain hands-on experience in the School's state-of-the-art facilities, including the new Fowler Student Design Center.

New Channel Program Makes Cryptography Solutions Available to Solution Providers, Alliance Partners, Systems Integrators and Technology Partners

CLEVELAND (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
Keyfactor, the leader in securing digital identities, today announced the launch of the Keyfactor Partner Network, its global channel partner program, and the appointment of BJ Ferguson as head of global channel sales and operations.
"Cryptographic best practice is modernizing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) tooling and processes, yet the industry lacks a center of excellence that can support enterprise-wide best practices. The Keyfactor Partner Network brings together best-in-class PKI technology and solution providers, making critical digital identity management resources broadly available to all enterprises," said Jordan Rackie, chief executive officer at Keyfactor. "We're excited to introduce the partner network with BJ at the helm. With years of SaaS (software as a service) and security expertise, BJ deeply understands the marketplace and the success that comes through delivering meaningful opportunities to channel partners and real solutions to their customers."
The Keyfactor Partner Network includes solutions providers, strategic OEM and distribution alliances, custom systems integrators and strategic technology integrations providers. Qualifying partners benefit from a trusted transaction approach, aggressive sales margins and extensive support with access to education, certification programs and marketing development funds.
"Many organizations are trying to manage PKI in-house through legacy processes, which are no match for today's complex security risks," said Ferguson. "The Keyfactor Partner Network makes it easier to manage enterprise PKI challenges - it brings an innovative network of partners together to solve companies' evolving cryptography requirements."
New research found only 38% of enterprise respondents have enough IT security staff members dedicated to PKI deployment, and that program responsibility is dispersed across IT operations (21%) and other lines of business (19%). Lack of defined ownership and disparate tool use is driving security risk, with 73% of businesses reporting unplanned downtime and outages due to mismanaged digital certificates, a core component within PKI.
"Now more than ever, enterprises need to assess their critical security infrastructures that manage and protect assets and customer information, especially as the industry prepares for the threat of quantum computing," said Mark B. Cooper, president and founder, PKI Solutions, a Keyfactor partner. "The ability to quickly and easily partner with industry leaders, such as Keyfactor, enables us to quickly bring solutions to our customers. PKI Solutions is pleased to be part of the Keyfactor Partner Network where there is great synergy around securely managed public key infrastructures."

About Keyfactor
Keyfactor empowers enterprises of all sizes to escape the exposure epidemic – when breaches, outages and failed audits from digital certificates and keys impact brand loyalty and the bottom line. Powered by an award-winning PKI as-a-service platform for certificate lifecycle automation and IoT device security, IT and InfoSec teams can easily manage digital certificates and keys. And product teams can build IoT devices with crypto-agility and at massive scale.

HostDime broke ground last week on a brand new, built-to-suit data center facility in Bogotá, Colombia. HostDime is the owner and developer of the new data center facility. The 65,000 square foot building will house HostDime Colombia's data center operations team, network engineers, build team, system administrators, and system engineers. The final expected price tag for the facility is $20M to $23M USD with 70% of that being construction costs. This facility continues HostDime's vision to build and implement edge data centers around the world. The data center is expected to be completed in December of 2020 and commissioned for production in early 2021.

ORLANDO, FLA. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
HostDime, a pioneer in global data center infrastructure, broke ground last week on a brand new, built-to-suit data center facility in Bogotá, Colombia. HostDime is the owner and developer of the new data center facility.
In 2017, HostDime announced that they purchased the land on which the building is now being constructed. This parcel is located in a highly restricted access and perimeter enclosed industrial park in Tocancipá, North Bogotá. HostDime has been operating in Colombia since 2008 servicing an array of Colombia-based data center infrastructure products and services from a local partner's data center.
Customer requirements have driven HostDime's expansion in Colombia. This facility adds to their unique mix of data centers around the globe which are specifically designed to meet the demand for better localized data access.
The new 65,000 square foot building will be completely owned and operated by HostDime and will house HostDime Colombia's data center operations team, network engineers, build team, system administrators, and system engineers. Other non-technical teams will remain at the current HostDime Colombia office in central Bogotá. Staff will be on-site around-the-clock to serve the needs of current and future customers.
"Our vision from the early days to be a leader in the global data center industry continues to drive us to build these highly mission critical facilities in unique, global edge locations. The world is noticing that being on the edge of global locations is the next frontier. HostDime has been making these global investments for over a decade to best service our clients data center needs with a level of experience and trust that not many clients have in companies." - Manny Vivar, CEO & Founder of HostDime Global.
The new facility follows the iconic HostDime contemporary style of all the facilities it builds and designs. This style is a combination of distinguished HostDime design, mission critical infrastructure, and client-centric amenities ready to power the modern-day cloud. Certified by the Uptime Institute, it will be one of the only Tier IV data center facilities in Colombia ready to service mission critical loads. The 5-story facility will have 50,000 square feet of usable IT data center space. This white space will include full private suites, colocation cage space, private locking colocation racks, and an entire floor for cloud-based products. The data center can house 80,000+ physical servers and hardware appliances.
Client amenities include a client reception area, a colocation lounge for staging servers in a quiet atmosphere, and private dedicated warehouse storage space for an array of equipment storage needs. All the rooms will have fiber interconnecting them. Staff amenities include a full-size kitchen and refreshment station, a staff lounge, and a wellness center. The final expected price tag for the facility is $20M to $23M USD with 70% of that being construction costs. This will be one of the largest data center construction investments in Colombia.
The industrial park where the facility is located includes an entrance that is staffed 24/7 with armed guards who visually and physically inspect everyone entering the park. Armed officers, K-9 units, and automobile patrol will guard the perimeter. The surveillance will include 360 degree security cameras with live monitoring of the entire inside and outside of the facility. Biometric and facial recognition technology will be used for all staff and visitors accessing the facility. Man-trap doors will be used for access control to all the floors. A fire suppression system is equipped with environmentally friendly HFC-125 clean agent gas in the unlikely event of disaster.
The power infrastructure, as with all our facilities, was designed by our in-house engineering team lead by David Vivar and Miguel Torres. Dual distribution paths will provide power feeds to all racks and white space via A/B power sources by default, allowing high-density racks up to 10 KW per rack on demand. For complete redundancy, five 1.2MW generators will operate in production with one of the generators being on standby. Ten 800KW Uninterruptible Power Supplies will allow for any fault in the system and/or path to occur without affecting critical loads, thereby achieving Tier IV standards of 99.99% uptime. Hot and cold aisle containment will be preinstalled on all data halls with racks and available for setup to all other white space to properly and efficiently deliver the cooling necessary to support the power density designed for the space.
"We are very proud to offer the Colombian market a world class data center that allows us to meet the needs of our customers. HostDime brings a client-centric model that many strategic business partners in Colombia have realized. This has created a level of trust in us that we take serious and we will continue to deliver on" - Edwin Tello, CEO of HostDime Colombia and Latin America
The new HostDime facility will also feature A/B duality "meet me" and network rooms to ensure no points of failure. These rooms will also be the entry way to an array of fiber providers ready to pull in once the facility is finished. So far a commitment has been made by CenturyLink, Globnet, BT, and Internexa to pull nearby fiber into the facility, with many more to follow. This data center will be one of the most interconnected buildings in Colombia in the next few years and will be a main interconnection point for transit and peering. HostDime plans to use as many transit providers as possible to offer a blend of a highly redundant Layer 2 managed networks to deliver to any client within the facility.
The facility is expected to be completed in December of 2020 and commissioned for production in early 2021.
HostDime.com, Inc. is a global data center infrastructure provider offering an array of cloud products from bare metal servers to colocation services that cater to a range of clients, from entry to enterprise-level operations.

Goliath Technologies announces the latest release of its industry-leading technology with enhanced embedded intelligence and automation, raising the bar for end-user performance monitoring and troubleshooting for environments built on Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop or VMware Horizon platforms, whether on-premises or in the cloud (e.g. AWS, Azure). With Goliath's unified view of end-user experience data across any hybrid landscape, IT is positioned to proactively ensure a great end-user experience regardless of where end users or workloads are located.

PHILADELPHIA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 20, 2020
Goliath Technologies announces the latest release of its industry-leading technology with enhanced embedded intelligence and automation, raising the bar for end-user performance monitoring and troubleshooting for environments built on Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop or VMware Horizon platforms, whether on-premises or in the cloud (e.g. AWS, Azure). With Goliath's unified view of end-user experience data across any hybrid landscape, IT is positioned to proactively ensure a great end-user experience regardless of where end users or workloads are located.
Goliath's team is passionate about helping IT professionals reduce the professional pain associated with managing hybrid IT environments along with end-user performance expectations. Goliath enables organizations to successfully launch new initiatives like remote worker programs, BYOD, and moves to the cloud by ensuring the end-user experience is seamless and uninterrupted regardless of device, location, or individual behavior. By leveraging Goliath, organizations can anticipate, troubleshoot, and prevent performance issues such as: poor session performance, application crashes, and slow logons.
Effective Monitoring Requires Intelligent Troubleshooting
When it comes to troubleshooting, traditional monitoring tools do not meet the needs of IT teams managing virtualized environments. They may alert them that an issue exists, but given the complexity of the infrastructure for delivering virtualized applications and desktops (whether from Citrix or VMware Horizon) – with numerous layers and from different vendors – they lack the visibility required to isolate the root cause. Goliath is the only solution that provides end-to-end visibility into the "where" or "why" of the issue to quickly troubleshoot and find permanent resolutions.
No other monitoring tool is correlating data across all IT elements from early stages of logon, app availability testing, backend systems (Active Directory, Profile Servers, Licensing Servers), virtual servers, user devices, printers, or physical storage to isolate root cause when end-user performance issues arise. This complexity is compounded in health IT when EHR applications (Cerner, Epic, MEDITECH, Allscripts) are added into the infrastructure, which makes it near impossible to use any built-in or traditional monitoring tools to troubleshoot end-user performance complaints.
The final challenge is the human element – end-user behavior. Few monitoring tools can provide empirical evidence into how end-user behavior is impacting the overall user experience within a Citrix or VMware Horizon environment. Goliath's unmatched historical reports and analytics arm IT professionals with the answers to quickly troubleshoot issues, have data-driven conversations with end users, and establish credibility.
Answering the Market Need for Purpose-built Troubleshooting Tools
To continue to address the gap in the market for purpose-built, intelligent, and automated troubleshooting tools for virtualized applications and desktops, Goliath has enhanced its current platform with its latest release of Goliath Performance Monitor 11.8.1. This comes quickly on the heels of Goliath's last major release, which introduced new enhancements augmenting their embedded intelligence and automation, deep and broad metrics, and historical reports.
With the latest update, Goliath has focused on optimizing speed and ease of troubleshooting for IT professionals managing and supporting virtualized desktops and applications across hybrid IT environments.
The Standard in Health IT
Goliath continues to augment its industry-only core capabilities within its EHR modules, which integrate performance metrics from all the major EHR applications (Allscripts, Cerner, Epic, and MEDITECH), the Citrix or VMware Horizon delivery infrastructure, and end-user behavior insights all into a single screen for more effective monitoring and troubleshooting.
"The screens in Goliath's latest release are more intuitive and easier to navigate. During the beta phase, Goliath took a lot of our suggestions and implemented them," said Jason Wasserberg, Network Administrator, Hartung Brothers.
"Our latest release is a composite of customer feedback and our own observations on offering the right tools and automation to simplify troubleshooting for IT professionals within their Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop or VMware Horizon environments. New enhancements enable administrators to even more quickly narrow down and find a specific user session in order to confirm a performance issue exists and isolate the exact root cause. We have integrated years of experience to both streamline the troubleshooting experience, as well as add automation and intelligence to better anticipate issues before they arise, alleviating end-user performance issues altogether," shared Thomas Charlton, Chairman and CEO of Goliath Technologies.
Goliath Technologies' latest product release provides the following key enhancements to increase the speed and ease of troubleshooting the end-user experience:

Faster setup and installation

Overall performance enhancements loading data and views up to 10x faster within Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktop and VMware Horizon views

Context-sensitive help and self-guided troubleshooting workflows

Enhanced monitoring rule page enabling administrations to quickly identify and sort by type of notification activated

New exportable view to local machine for Citrix or VMware Horizon session details

Extended ability to customize and configure email notifications for multiple monitoring rules at once

The new Goliath Technologies release is available today, February 20, 2020, and can be downloaded by customers here.

By doing so, Goliath helps IT break out of reactive mode, and into proactive mode.

Interfacing EPC platform supports all use cases of the Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO)

MONTREAL (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 21, 2020
Interfacing is proud to announce the Interfacing Enterprise Process Center (EPC) was assed and again listed as a leading Digital Twin of an Organization (DTO) by Gartner. Interfacing's EPC provides a data intelligence based virtual representation of a business to help evaluate the impact of internal & external changes.
A Digital Twin of an Organization is a digitized dynamic representation of any company's physical assets. The DTO describes all assets that fall within the domain of an organization. This includes an organization's processes, technologies, infrastructure (and its architecture), business capabilities, all customer interactions, strategies, products, services, roles, responsibilities and distribution channels. In digital form, this business context can be connected, reported upon and presented in easily understood visual format. DTO helps business leaders assess transformational change and its impact within a controlled environment.
Gartner identified three Key Findings in their 2019 Market Guide for Technologies Supporting a DTO Report:

Most organizations find it difficult to adapt to moving strategic and operational targets.

Without some sort of a "navigator," the risk of failure in scaling digital business transformation initiatives increases dramatically as the scope and pace of the digital business initiative expand.

Today, an abundance of data coming from anywhere is impacting digital transformation and optimization initiatives. The amount of data produced must be organized and filtered according to business needs and operations.

Scott Armstrong, Managing Partner with Interfacing Technologies, describes Interfacings solution supporting DTO. "Interfacing's user-friendly platform is the only Digital Twin to also satisfy all regulatory compliance (FDA, FAA, GDPR, ISO, etc.) requirements and data governance needs. Interfacing's unique text recognition data parsing tool automatically converts your physical files (Standard Operating Procedures, Policies, Regulations, etc.) into data objects then automatically generates intelligence based graph models to improve impact analysis and ongoing change management and communication."
Interfacing's EPC offers a digital management platform for businesses to capture, manage and visualize all business artifacts within a single integrated repository. EPC provides centralized management capabilities through the combination of its core architectural holistic views of all objects, their complex interdependencies, impact analyses and day-to-day monitoring.
EPC satisfies all highly regulatory requirements (e.g. 21 CFR Part 11 digital signature compliance) and includes functionality to expand SOPs to any level, providing a rich-text form (including images and videos) of the processes in an easy-to-read, online digital media format.
"Coordinating interdependencies within and across digital business transformation initiatives is challenging yet key to success. A digital twin of an organization helps enterprise architecture and technology innovation leaders prioritize, guide, plan, monitor, analyze and scale complex initiatives." - Gartner
Armstrong included, "Interfacing's solution is cutting edge; cloud based, extremely secure, highly scalable, and mobile ready. Interfacing is also ISO 27001 certified, meaning we invest heavily in penetration and vulnerability testing as well as well controlled security processes to ensure our customers' data stays protected! We continue to innovate the domain by utilizing the latest tech trends such as AI [Artificial Intelligence] to drive additional business value for our customers while reducing time, effort and cost."
For more than 25 years, Interfacing has been a transformation leader in process improvement software; developing one of the first centralized web-based collaboration tools to document, model, manage, simulate, analyze, integrate and automate processes. Interfacing maintains a major focus on the digital business, and customer experience use cases, followed by the enterprise performance use case. Coming from an EBPA/strategy to execution background, Interfacing has a strong focus on the organizational business modeling and the performance management components.

Edgescan's 2020 Vulnerability Stats Report also reveals the time to patch vulnerabilities for an internet-facing system is now 71 days

DUBLIN (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 21, 2020
edgescan, the 'fullstack' Vulnerability Management Security as a Service (SaaS) solution provider, today releases its fifth Vulnerability Stats Report looking at the state of full stack security in 2019, based on tens of thousands global assessments. The report has revealed that, in 2019, it took organisations an average of 50.55 days (nearly eight weeks) to remediate critical risk vulnerabilities for public internet facing web applications and 49.26 days for internet facing network layer critical risk vulnerabilities.
The report also found that high or critical risk vulnerabilities in external facing web applications had significantly increased from 19.2 per cent in 2018 to 34.78 per cent in 2019. High or critical risk vulnerabilities discovered in externally facing network layer systems had also more than doubled in 2019, going up to 4.79 per cent from just 2 per cent the previous year.
"2019 saw more than 8 billion records breached, with some of the biggest breaches being experienced by Capital One, Quest Diagnostics, Houzz and Zynga. Many of these breaches were caused by web application layer vulnerabilities that could have been preventable with if appropriate secure development and visibility practices were adhered to," comments Eoin Keary, CEO of Edgescan. "Although the time to remediate critical risk vulnerabilities for public internet facing web applications has reduced by just over 18 days since 2018, we are still seeing high rates of known and patchable vulnerabilities which have working exploits in the wild. This could be due to the fact it is hard to patch production systems. Web application security is where the majority of risk still resides, and this is an area that organisations, no matter what size, should be taking notice of."
Further key findings from the report:

A 20-year-old vulnerability was discovered still 'in the wild' in over 3500 systems across Europe and North America. Originally discovered in 1999, the CVE-1999-0517 vulnerability has CVSS high severity risk score of 7.5 (out of 10) and the potential to cause a serious data breach.

The most common CVE vulnerability in 2019 was first discovered in 2016, over four years ago. The CVE-2016-2183, has a high severity risk score of 7.5 (out of 10) and makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data via a birthday attack against a long duration encrypted session.

On average, 67.8 per cent of assets had at least one CVE with a CVSS (v3.x) value of 4.0 or more, making the non-compliant with PCI regulations.

CDS helps Fortune 100 client streamline compliance monitoring of regulated businesses

NEW YORK (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
Complete Discovery Source, leading provider of end-to-end eDiscovery and data management solutions, today announced that they have built the first corporate Relativity Trace implementation offering. Relativity Trace is a proactive communication surveillance application that assesses data in near-real time and alerts compliance officers to suspicious content based on customized rules and parameters.
CDS has developed a proprietary workflow for a Fortune 100 Client using Relativity Trace, automating what had previously been an entirely manual process.
"More and more, CDS works on the proactive side of data management, using compliance surveillance tools and tactics to solve challenging information governance issues," said Sue-Deelia Tang, Client Solutions Director at CDS and Principal Architect/Team Lead on the Relativity Trace implementation. "The security, power and flexibility of RelativityOne combined with Relativity Trace has allowed us to create better business processes for our client that free up their staff to focus on more substantive work."
Before implementing Relativity Trace, CDS's Client had been managing their cursory compliance review by manually collecting data and running various searches. Now, emails are pulled automatically from O365, and responsive and non-responsive data sets are filtered upon ingestion and tagged according to pre-defined search terms. Email alerts notify legal and compliance professionals that 'hot' docs are teed up for further review.
Through the new documented, auditable process, CDS ensures their Client continually conducts necessary, timely due diligence of internal communications, proactively identifying potential legal violations or security breaches involving highly sensitive, confidential company data. The move to Relativity Trace and an automated workflow has allowed the Client to reduce regulatory risk, address inefficiencies, and gain more value out of existing resources.
"CDS has been instrumental in the implementation of this regulated Relativity Trace customer, including configuring workflows, setting up rules and ensuring that they are set up for success," said Jordan Domash, General Manager of Relativity Trace. "CDS is a long-standing partner that has experienced a number of milestones around RelativityOne in recent months and I know this will be the first of many implementations."

AV Programming Associates, an independent Crestron and Extron programming company, announced recently that they have completed a pilot program to update the video conferencing systems in multiple TD Ameritrade offices with the latest Crestron module.

LAKE TAHOE, NEV. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
AV Programming Associates (AVPA), an independent Crestron and Extron programming company, announced recently that they have completed a pilot program to update the video conferencing systems in multiple TD Ameritrade offices with the latest Crestron module.
TD Ameritrade has offices around the United States and relies heavily on video conferencing for interoffice communication, as well as external communication. The company was looking to upgrade their video conferencing systems, as well as make them consistent from office to office.
AVPA was brought in by audiovisual integrator AVI Systems to upgrade the systems' user interfaces, in order to give the Crestron TSW 1060 touchpanels a look that resembles that of the Cisco Touch 10. AVPA also integrated the newest Crestron module, which could handle the large amount of Cisco video conferencing systems and Cisco WebX users in the TD Ameritrade offices.
The first update was completed in TD Ameritrade's Omaha headquarters. After it was successfully tested and approved, AVPA upgraded the video conferencing systems in twelve more offices around the country, using the CE9 interface as the basis for all Crestron-controlled Cisco systems with complex audio and video routing. Since every location has its own unique setup, AVPA was required to complete some custom integration work and special programming to deliver a consistent user experience from office to office. The new look and feel of the user interface will also be applied by AVPA to any future offices that are constructed for TD Amertrade.
Matthew Grisafe, Owner and President of AVPA, said, "We are grateful for the opportunity to work with a well-respected American company like TD Ameritrade to upgrade their video conferencing systems. The project presented us with some challenges, but our talented team of Crestron programmers was able to deliver the results TD Ameritrade was looking for. We look forward to completing more projects for TD Ameritrade as they arise and continuing to work with our friends at AVI Systems."
To learn more about the programming capabilities of AVPA, and to see examples of some of their completed projects—both commercial and residential—visit the company's website at https://www.avprogramming.com/.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
OPSWAT, a leader in critical infrastructure protection, today announced the launch of a new online Amazon storefront in order to streamline the procurement of the latest security technologies purpose-built for the Critical Infrastructure Protection market. For enterprise organizations with complex procurement processes, the OPSWAT store on Amazon enables security teams to directly purchase its solutions so they can immediately deploy and evaluate them in their environment. The store will initially feature two editions of OPSWAT's latest MetaDefender Drive, a durable USB drive that creates a portable perimeter for critical infrastructure to meet compliance and regulatory standards for high-security environments.
"With the launch of the OPSWAT store on Amazon, we're bringing the convenience and ease of the world's friendliest e-commerce experience to the enterprise security and critical infrastructure protection market," said Yiyi Miao, Senior Vice President of Products at OPSWAT. "There's no need to go through a procurement process or put in a request for a bulk order. Instead, you can simply purchase what you want, when you need it, with no delay."
The store's first offering, MetaDefender Drive, enables an enterprise organization to secure critical infrastructure and its supply chain by identifying compromised transient devices. It detects malware and vulnerabilities that traditional security applications miss using a proprietary approach for analysis without software installation, including:

Multiscanning using multiple market-leading malware scanning engines including McAfee, Kaspersky, Ahnlabs, Bitdefender, Avira, and K7.

Scanning of the entire device before boot for malware, vulnerabilities and a determination of the device's integrity.

By bringing enterprise grade security tools to Amazon, OPSWAT is making it easier for critical infrastructure industries and enterprises to adopt a Zero Trust mindset. By trusting no file and trusting no device, customers will begin to take the necessary steps of mitigating their risks by preventing attacks.

Chroma's new 11210 Battery Insulation Tester identifies defects and potential hazards in battery cells during the dry cell stage.

FOOTHILL RANCH, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
Chroma Systems Solutions, Inc., a leading provider of power conversion test equipment, announces the release of its new, compact 11210 Battery Cell Insulation Tester. Chroma 11210 battery cell insulation tester was specifically developed for lithium ion batteries and capacitors in order to detect burrs or particles early in the production phase. Manufacturers can then filter out potentially hazardous cells before shipment. This testing can increase product quality, reduce failures, and mitigate any danger that may come from an electrical short.
Able to perform manually or in automated systems, the 11210 battery cell insulation tester measures leakage current (LC) and insulation resistance (IR) of the dry cell as well as other insulation materials. In addition to standard LC/IR measurement, the 11210 has a unique function that detects partial discharge or flashover that may have occurred inside the insulation material during the high voltage insulation testing process. With PD detection of the battery's internal status before electrolyte filling, defective products can be filtered out before entering the next stage of production and, most importantly, before it reaches the market.
The 11210 has a wide range of voltage output from 1V for mobile phone battery cell testing (pouch cells) up to 1000V or 50mA to test high voltage and high charging current applications. Leakage current measurement ranges from 10pA ~ 20mA. Each cell test can be completed in 20ms which allows for faster throughput in production.
White Paper
On rare occasions, an electrical short can develop inside the cell after passing production tests due to burrs or particles on the positive electrode reaching the negative electrode after inflation occurs. If these cells that are susceptible to failure pass through to the end user, the results could be catastrophic. This paper describes how to mitigate these occurrences in the dry cell stage. A download of this white paper is available here: https://www.chromausa.com/document-library/decreasing-risk-of-electrical-shorts-in-lithium-ion-battery-cells/
Chroma has the knowledge and technologies to assist battery manufacturers in setting up reliable inline tests or provide complete turnkey test solutions.

Exclusive HR research from HR.com's Research Institute. The study, The State of Pay Equity 2020, was conducted to examine the state of pay equity in organizations with respect to pay gaps among gender, ethnic and other groups that were traditionally viewed as "minorities."

JACKSON POINT, ONTARIO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
Despite the fact that pay inequities remain a serious challenge to employers worldwide, most organizations are still not making it a top priority. Only a very small proportion (6%) of human resources (HR) professionals say pay equity is a top priority at their workplace. Further, just a quarter of surveyed employers say it's among their top five executive priorities, and a third believe executives do not see it as a priority at all.
The free research report, The State of Pay Equity 2020, is now available for download. HR.com's Research Institute conducted the study to examine the state of how well organizations and HR departments are addressing pay equity issues.
Further examination reveals the main reasons companies do strive for pay equity in their workforce. Three-fifths of HR professionals (59%) say their organizations focus on pay equity to retain the right talent, another half (53%) say they do so to recruit the right talent, and almost as many (47%) say a sense of fairness drives pay equity.
Only two-fifths (40%) of HR professionals consider their organizations to be good or excellent when it comes to pay equity efforts. Companies viewed as more equitable are more likely to:

have a formal pay equity budget in place,

analyze and leverage data in an effort to increase pay equity and reduce pay gaps, and

invest in efforts to close the pay equity gaps across all job levels, not just senior levels.

"While the percentage of those leveraging analytics may feel alarmingly low given the extent of the pay equity problems in today's workforce, it is reflective of a painful reality: decision-makers are not investing in solving the pay equity problem," stated Dr. Patti Fletcher, Chief Workplace Equity and Disruption Futurist at HR.com.

Industry leaders such as Blockbuster, Toys "R" Us, Borders, and Pan Am all ignored warnings to pivot, then quickly failed to exist. Real Intelligence LLC, an authority on the dynamic American financial landscape, warns against behaviors that will lead uneducated and under-trained Financial Advisors into irrelevancy as AI rises.

FAIRFIELD, CONN. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
With the rise of zero-dollar commissions at custodians and low cost robo-advisors, the financial industry—and Financial Advisors—are at a competitive disadvantage to artificial intelligence. By 2030, an estimated 80 percent of heritage financial services companies will go out of business, struggle for relevance, fail to use technology to change their business model, or become commoditized. (1) (2) Real Intelligence LLC, a financial services firm in Connecticut, is warning Financial Planners of this potential outcome plagued by technology enhancements, like robo-advisors. Real Intelligence, however, is executing a real-time solution that provides a patented dynamic mapping system in conjunction with human effort. "30 percent of advisors will exit the business in three to five years, predicts Jeff Mount, President of Real Intelligence. "It's imperative that the financial industry pivot its business model to align with new age tech."
It is forecasted that "robo-advisors" will manage around $4.6 trillion of consumer money by 2022, with more than 200 robo-advisor companies currently active in the US alone. (3) Yet, the financial landscape is ignoring and bashing the rise of 'robo-advisors,' who are set to replace conventional advisors and take client orders, according to Mount. With the rise of AI, Mount says financial advisors need to swim upstream and target "middle-class millionaires" who have assets of $750,000 and up.
According to Mount, small investors and accounts will move to robo-advisors, because evidence shows they do not take financial consultants seriously. Mount emphasizes that middle-class millionaires, however, will want to ultimately work with a human being. This is because they often have sufficient funds at risk and will be prompted to only work with qualified, real financial advisors.
"The real catalyst for change needs to be an acknowledgement that the financial services industry has undergone a massive technology upgrade," says Mount. A deep dive into the world of a Real Intelligence solution—Dynamic Mapping and the Essential Family Office—will help financial advisors overcome the competitive challenges of artificial intelligence.
Real Intelligence says it's focused on changing the Financial Planning paradigm in the United States. Their Dynamic Mapping system will include an intense training program that will prepare human advisors who are up to the challenge of overcoming the real barrier of becoming obsolete with AI. Dynamic Mapping helps advisors build that 'perfect' book of business, which is usually defined as serving one hundred clients who each have over one million dollars in assets to be managed. To further reach more financial advisors, Mount has also established a world tour, city by city to allow for a full, comprehensive two-day training, online program. This course will require a high grade before advisors can be Dynamic Mapping certified.
Established financial providers will have to move faster on the newest technology by building digital platforms or finding niche products and services to sell on others' platforms.(4) "An industry influx is wreaking havoc on Financial Advisors who operate by the status quo," Mount states. "The key here is to not focus on new rivals, but improve the value of their financial products to their customers."
In the age of AI, Financial Advisors, Money Managers and Wealth Management, firms must realize that the industry has completely changed. Between zero commissions on stock sales, EFTs at custodians, mutual funds being reduced in price due to competition and robo-advisors gaining acceptance, FAs must embrace and modify the evolving digital services technology to stay relevant.
Blockbuster went bankrupt. So did Oldsmobile, Pets.com, Tower Records, Compaq, Woolworth's, and hundreds of other once-vibrant companies. Like 88 percent of the Fortune 500 firms in 1955, they're extinct because they failed to realign themselves.
About Real Intelligence.
Real Intelligence LLC is the brainchild of entrepreneurs and industry experts Jeffrey Mount and Mike Helgesen. With 55 combined years of industry expertise and the alliance of both their inventions: Dynamic Mapping and training program, Essential Family Office, Real Intelligence LLC is poised to offer a complete essential tool kit to the next generation of elite Financial Advisors. With strategic, industry-proven training, patented technology, and an unprecedented lead generation opportunity, the paradigm of financial services is shifting from status quo. This human-centric approach to financial planning is a consultant's greatest tool to combat the competitive threat of free programs through robo-advisors and the dangers of irrelevancy.

Inventa Gives Companies Control Over Customer Data Usage, Enabling True Security and Compliance

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
1touch.io, a leading provider of data and privacy management solutions, today launched Inventa, a data privacy platform with unprecedented data lineage techniques for data discovery and classification. Inventa gives companies complete visibility into their unknown usage of customer data by automating the discovery process and providing them with a comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date master catalog.
"The growing array of data privacy regulations around the globe combined with the shortage of experienced IT practitioners makes it imperative for organizations to bring greater levels of automation to the process of data discovery and classification. But getting a full picture of where all customer data lives is extremely difficult given the distributed nature of modern enterprises," said Paula Musich, research director at Enterprise Management Associates. "By using network analytics that apply machine learning and natural language processing to automatically discover PII in motion on the enterprise network, 1touch.io's Inventa can do the heavy lifting for security teams and provide a more complete picture of where it resides and how it is being handled."
Inventa leverages network analytics, machine learning, and natural language processing in combination with existing artificial intelligence technologies to continuously and accurately catalog a company's customer data in near real-time. This includes structured and unstructured data, data at rest and in motion, known data and, most importantly, unknown data. Inventa also connects to a multitude of data sources, central filesystems, databases, NoSQL and SaaS solutions and, most recently, Amazon S3 buckets, helping solve one of today's greatest cloud security challenges.
"We recognized that companies around the world were searching for a data discovery and classification platform that minimizes manual involvement and actually delivers on the promise of total data discovery," said Zak Rubinstein, founder and CEO, 1touch.io. "Unlike other solutions that require lots of man-power and only give companies a partial inventory of their customer data, Inventa discovers all of a company's data and data sources, including those unknown. Without knowing all data uses, a company cannot meet data privacy, risk, security, or regulatory compliance needs."
Inventa's powerful automation provides a comprehensive view of customer data for maximum data quality and accuracy. Additionally, by eliminating the need for manual data collection, Inventa helps companies save time and money through reduced operational overhead. And by delivering a continuously updated master data catalog, Inventa equips companies to better-secure their customer data and meet data privacy regulations such as CCPA and GDPR.

February 24-29: Cubacel bonuses for international top ups, on HablaCuba.com.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
The end of February brings the best Cubacel promo in history. Starting February 24 until February 29, Cuban expats who want to support their family and friends back home now get the chance to make the best of their investments: recharges between 20-80 CUC get more than triple bonus, as follows:

20 CUC sent = 70 CUC received

40 CUC sent = 140 CUC received

60 CUC sent = 210 CUC received

80 CUC sent = 280 CUC received

But Cubacel has set in place some restrictrictions when it comes to how to use the amount, differentiating between the main balance and the bonus - Bono Dinero. For starters, the bonus expires on March 23, whereas the main balance keeps the same validity as previous promos, that is 330 days from the recharge date. In addition to this, the Cubans who receive the top up should also pay attention to the way they want to spend the money wisely, because they can use the amount received both to purchase 3G packages, in case they have a compatible device, and talk and text in Cuba and abroad.
The entire amount (main balance and Bono Dinero) can be used for:
National and international calls
National and international texts (including SMS entumóvil)
ONLY THE MAIN BALANCE transferred can be used for purchasing 3G plans:

400 MB for 5 CUC

600 MB for 7 CUC

1 GB for 10 CUC

2.5 GB for 20 CUC

4 GB for 30 CUC

To activate the mobile internet plans, the recipient must enter the USSD code *133# and then dial 1 (data).
Besides sending top ups, customers can also recharge their family's and friends' Nauta accounts, in order to help them gain access to the internet. Or, if they prefer calling, they can also use HablaCuba.com's calling services. Customers can place their calls:

From any landline, mobile or even payphone in the world, through access numbers.

Through the smartphone app called KeepCalling, available for iOS and Android.

The rate for international calls to Cuba is 69.9¢/min, for both landlines and mobiles, and the cost of a text message is 7¢.

All services HablaCuba.com offers revolve around the website's mission, which is to bring people together, no matter the distance, no distance is too long if people stay connected.

Enabling customers with comprehensive End-to-End products and open solutions.

SAN JOSE, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 24, 2020
Quanta Cloud Technology (QCT), a global data center solution provider, supports its customers with comprehensive 5G end-to-end hardware products and solutions spanning from on-premise uCPE, edge computing, 5G NR, 5G Core, to service assurance and applications. Due to the imminent rise of 5G in 2020, QCT is mainly focusing on its "Infrastructure of the Future, Now".
The solution portfolio encompasses not only carrier-grade and commercial level solutions, but also QCT's achievements through collaborating with open source communities. After having showcased its disaggregated whitebox solutions, open NFVI platforms, and the 5G enabling ecosystem of partners at past Mobile World Congress events, QCT is now introducing its Next Generation Central Office 2.0 (NGCO 2.0) solution that was originally scheduled to be presented at MWC 2020 in Barcelona.
To welcome and prepare for the 5G era, QCT has planned, collaborated, and executed projects with partners and customers to overcome the complexities and challenges of the future. This includes an update to last year's Rakuten cloud-native mobile network, an ORAN DU/CU disaggregated architecture, and ONAP machine learning based data lake project with China Mobile. As QCT believes 5G starts now and because 5G revolves around applications which require eMBB, uRLLC, or mMTC scenarios, QCT also partners with a vast community of partners that include Altiostar, Baicells, Radisys, ASTRI, and Altran to realize NFV architectures, helping telcos transform from a traditional central office to an NGCO 5G data center, accelerating new services implementation, and creating next revenue stream.
QCT's long-time collaboration with Intel continues with the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor, featuring performance, built-in AI acceleration, hardened security, and solution choices from its industry-leading ecosystem. These new processors leverage high-performance compute cores with Intel's hardware and software portfolio to propel network, cloud, 5G, AI everywhere, growth of the edge, and enterprise customers to unleash the power of data through cloudification of the network. QCT has become familiar with several Intel workload-optimized technologies across hybrid cloud, network, and analytics. QCT will soon offer Intel Select Solutions on the latest 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processor with built-in Intel Deep Learning Boost, including a NUMA-balanced, NFV-ready, DPDK-enabled NFVI Forwarding Platform (NFVI FP) that has been certified on Red Hat enterprise Linux and OpenStack Platforms.
Real World 5G Use Cases
Many digital applications are embracing 5G to bring their technology to the next level. 5G has proven to be successful in multiple everyday use cases, starting from facial recognition, ad insertion up to Cloud Gaming or Enterprise 5G:
1. Facial Recognition: Real-time facial recognition and object recognition fueled by Intel Xeon Scalable processors and Intel FPGAs can automate identification in various scenarios, such as security checks, boarding reminders, and smart factories in mere milliseconds.
2. Ad-Insertion: Intelligent ad-insertion powered by the OpenVINO Toolkit, transforms video services from passive media streaming to interactive video experiences for efficient advertising with real time analytics, so media content is personalized for higher affinity targeted ad placements.
3. Cloud Gaming: 5G Ultra-Low latency enables cloud gaming and video streaming to react smoothly with high video quality and fast response.
4. Enterprise 5G: QCT has developed an Enterprise 5G Pod solution, which integrates 5G NR and 5G Core to fulfill all kinds of private network usage, such as those needed for a smart factory with robotics. Robotics are used to control and execute tasks more efficiently and to make the production process more optimized.
5. Cloud Native with End-to-End Connectivity – QCT's Computex awarded NGCO solution will return with an advanced version, NGCO 2.0. To address the transformation from 4G LTE to 5G, and the demand for container technology implementation, QCT upgraded its NGCO, Virtual Machine (VM) based RedHat OpenStack infrastructure, to a container based OpenShift platform for Container Network Function (CNF) workloads optimized on the latest Intel Xeon Scalable processors. QCT also designed Apache Traffic Control CDN to verify its NGCO rack usability and container based NFVI.
Success Case
Together with industry leading partners, QCT has worked with Rakuten Mobile on the design and construction of its mobile network infrastructure, which has moved to its Edge Pod and Micro Pod second phase edge computing cycle based upon the different requirements of Rakuten's central data center and edge data center. Going beyond the hardware level, QCT also developed its own in-house software "Quanta Service Tool" to help simplify infrastructure software updates, and designed a service program to complete the rack-level solution integration and validation at the QCT factory.
Supporting Quotes:
"QCT is committed to creating actionable technologies that enable companies to modernize their data centers and infrastructures to reap the benefits of real-time speeds brought forth by 5G," said Mike Yang, President of QCT. "Leveraging our advanced platforms optimized for 5G technology and our ecosystem of partners, we have been able to create new end-to-end solutions to help businesses."
"Extending cloud technologies to 5G and the edge represents the next phase of network transformation," said Alex Quach, VP of Intel's Wireless Core and Networking Division. "Strong ecosystem collaboration with partners like QCT, 2nd Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors and open source software such as OpenNESS are making edge computing a reality for today's business customers."
"With the support of our industry-leading global partners, including QCT, Rakuten Mobile is changing the way mobile networks are designed and operated," said Tareq Amin, Chief Technology Officer of Rakuten Mobile, Inc. "QCT's experience in designing and customizing cloud-native infrastructure and expertise in integration and service have helped us achieve this successful network transformation."

Independent auditor's report once again affirms the Company's commitment to stringent security controls and processes with no exceptions noted.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
MULTACOM, the web host that makes the net work, is pleased to announce that the Company has once again been awarded SOC 2 Type 2 certification after the successful completion of a facilities and network infrastructure examination by an independent, third-party auditor. The positive review of MULTACOM's data center security controls, reliability standards, and processes, means that MULTACOM customers can feel confident in the quality, security, and effectiveness of the Company's data center operations.    
The resulting auditor's report states that "no exceptions were noted," which has been the case in all previous MULTACOM SOC 2 Type 2 audits. The Company's system was determined to be "fairly presented, with controls suitable to provide reasonable assurance that the application trust services criteria would be met." In addition, "all controls tested were found to be operating effectively throughout the test period."
The Trust Services Principles of security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy, which drive online transactions and the exchange of sensitive information are evident in the implementation of MULTACOM's stringent security controls and processes for its dedicated server, hosting, and colocation services. Businesses across Los Angeles and Southern California benefit from this commitment to data center excellence and can feel confident that their data is monitored by and maintained in a highly secure environment. It also assists them in demonstrating their own compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and PCI.
"The importance of being able to demonstrate to our clients that we have exceeded SOC 2 Type 2 requirements can not be overstated. Our customers expect and deserve a data center that continually makes security, availability, processing integrity, and privacy of their electronic data a priority. The high standards we set for ourselves are recognized when our network is reported to meet stringent SOC 2 requirements with no exceptions noted," said Kiarash Jahangiri, chief executive officer at MULTACOM. "I applaud the commitment and dedication of our MULTACOM team which enables us to uphold these standards year after year and thank them for their constant attention on behalf of our clients."
A SOC 2 report assesses a service organization's design and operating effectiveness of procedures and system controls and discloses compliance concerns. In 2017, an updated version of the SOC 2 framework was released and has been implemented on all engagements with an end period on or after December 15, 2018. This new framework was integrated with the widely used Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework, and better addresses cybersecurity risks. Greater detail was also added to some areas such as Logical and Physical Access Controls, System Operations, Change Management, Risk Mitigation and others. This detail, along with the integration of COSO's Points of Focus, allow auditors to more completely and accurately evaluate that organizational controls are designed and operating effectively.
Unlike SOC 2 Type 1 reporting which is a measure of one individual point in time, a SOC 2 Type 2 audit measures an organization's effectiveness over a significantly longer period of time – generally one year. As a result, MULTACOM's SOC 2 Type 2 certification demonstrates the company's ongoing commitment to data center excellence across all client networks and is continually tested and maintained by skilled MULTACOM engineers.
MULTACOM is focused on providing all businesses from small start-ups to large enterprises with the resources and IT services required to position their business for success, including 100% power and network availability, around-the-clock on-site security, and 24/7/365 technical support.
About MULTACOM
MULTACOM provides dedicated servers and colocation services to businesses around the world. Started by a group of senior system and network engineers, MULTACOM offers the highest possible quality service with knowledgeable staff at the most cost-effective pricing possible. The company's primary data center is strategically located in Los Angeles, CA and provides robust scalability with fast and easy access to virtually any backbone provider. MULTACOM also provides managed services for small and mid-size service providers in the United States. The Company also offers a range of services for businesses including dedicated servers, private and hybrid clouds, bandwidth and IP services, VPN and colocation, and a suite of managed hosting services.

Our customers expect and deserve a data center that continually makes security, availability, processing integrity, and privacy of their electronic data a priority.

Salesforce recently announced its plan to retire data recovery services effective 31-July-2020. A Guide: how to sort through the 182 options listed on the Salesforce AppExchange to find the best fit.

SANTA ROSA BEACH, CALIF. (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
SalesforceⓇ recently announced its plan to retire data recovery services effective 31-July-2020.
Why?
"The data recovery process does not meet our high standards for customer experience due to the length of time and reliability of the process. This process takes a minimum of 6 - 8 weeks to complete and we cannot guarantee 100% data recovery. "
(https://help.salesforce.com/articleView?id=000352139&type=1&mode=1)
With the safety net removed, SalesforceⓇ customers must now look elsewhere to plan for business continuity and disaster recovery solutions. SalesforceⓇ has referred customers to its app marketplace, the Salesforce AppExchangeⓇ, to search for 3rd party backup & recovery alternatives.
A search on the Salesforce AppExchangeⓇ on 20-February yielded 182 results! How is one to sort through all of these options to determine which is the best fit? Some good news is that SalesforceⓇ backup & recovery solutions generally fall into one of two categories:
Hosted Solutions: This approach leverages vendor-hosted storage to extract SalesforceⓇ data to the vendor's databases. This requires very little infrastructure or management on the part of the customer, but the downside is that backup access and data security is in the hands of a 3rd party.
Self-Hosted Solutions: This approach leverages a SalesforceⓇ customer's own machine or private cloud to extract and store SalesforceⓇ data. This allows each business to control data access and wrap security around the backup database as needed. There is also additional flexibility inherent to a self-hosted database such as unlimited retention of archived records. The downside is that this approach requires more infrastructure and database management expertise.
Need some help determining which approach is the best fit?
Read this "Guide for Selecting a SalesforceⓇ Backup & Restore Partner" for a no-nonsense list of scenarios, questions, and requirements Salesforce customers must consider when planning for a reliable backup & recovery plan:
https://www.capstorm.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/GuideforSelectingaSalesforceBackupPartner.pdf
The link goes to a PDF document - no requests to enter contact information in order to view the content!
If you do decide to go with the self-hosted approach, please consider Capstorm. Capstorm provides software to perform self-hosted SalesforceⓇ backup and recovery. Backup SalesforceⓇ on-premises or to a private cloud. Restore SalesforceⓇ records along with the record relationships - without CSV's or manual data patching.
Capstorm's solutions have been listed on the Salesforce AppExchangeⓇ since 2011, and Capstorm operates with two core philosophies:
1) A SalesforceⓇ backup should be fully accessible and easily verifiable
2) A SalesforceⓇ recovery solution should be useful for more than just disaster recovery

Deepfence recognized for providing one of the industry's first truly cloud-native workload protection platforms spanning the entire Microsoft Azure spectrum.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
As a part of its singular focus to be the one-stop security platform for the continuum of cloud-native workloads, Deepfence is pleased to announce that it is now a Microsoft IP Co-Sell Partner. Through the Microsoft Partner Program, Deepfence would now be directly sold and marketed by Microsoft resellers around the world, thereby providing unprecedented levels of security for customer's application workloads on Microsoft Azure Cloud.
As the first and only security solution across the entire spectrum of Microsoft Azure flavours-- Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Virtual Machines (VM's), and Azure Container Instances (ACI), Deepfence is a distributed intrusion prevention and active response platform that is deployed alongside customer workloads and protects them from complex multi-vector multi-stage attacks in real-time. A beta version of the Deepfence platform is also available that provides the same level of protection for customer workloads on Windows platforms, including Windows containers on Kubernetes as well as Windows virtual machines.
"It is a privilege to be among the select group of solutions chosen by Microsoft for joint sales, packaged solutions and expansive deployment," said Shyam Krishnaswamy, Co-Founder and VP Products, of Deepfence. "As customers move their on-premise workloads to Microsoft Azure Cloud, ensuring the security of those workloads is their utmost concern. Since we are now Microsoft Co-Sell Ready, a large number of Azure partners and customers can now use the Deepfence platform as their only security solution."
Sajan Parihar, Director, Microsoft Azure Platform at Microsoft Corp said, "We're excited to welcome Deepfence to the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, which gives our partners great exposure to cloud customers around the globe. Azure Marketplace offers world-class quality experiences from global trusted partners with solutions tested to work seamlessly with Azure."
When compared to other offerings, Deepfence monitors more than 70+ runtime signals, 50+ sources of vulnerabilities, and 1000+ compliance policies. This is achieved without using inline proxies or intrusive agents, which enables Deepfence to function seamlessly in the presence of service meshes like Istio. The powerful and proprietary Deep-Packet Inspection (DPI) engine analyses plain-text and encrypted traffic across North-South and East-West boundaries, without adding additional latencies to data path. The patent pending "Semantic Patching" technique puts all this together using sophisticated AI algorithms; to illuminate blind spots, detect even the most complex attacks across the entire infrastructure, and mitigate threats, all in real-time.
About Deepfence
Deepfence was founded with a mission to bring fundamental advances to the field of application security. Rather than shoehorn conventional security measures into modern paradigms, Deepfence builds a superior approach from the ground up. The company's "Security as a Microservice" solution radically changes the way containers and cloud workloads are protected, and is native to modern application and infrastructure paradigms. The Deepfence team brings together deep expertise in the areas of application and network security, program analysis, machine learning, virtualization, and networking, with years of experience in industry and academia.

BTSE, the leading financial technology company that utilizes Bitcoin and cryptocurrency technologies to develop real-world financial products and services, has announced its exchange token sale - the first of its kind to be launched on Blockstream's Liquid Network - will open to the public on March 5, 2020.

ROAD TOWN, BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
BTSE, the leading financial technology company that utilizes Bitcoin and cryptocurrency technologies to develop real-world financial products and services, has announced its exchange token sale - the first of its kind to be launched on Blockstream's Liquid Network - will open to the public on March 5, 2020.
"We've recently completed our private sale round thanks to the participation of investors such as FBG Capital, Lemniscap, CMS Holdings, Taureon Capital, GBCI Ventures and BCB Blockchain," said Jonathan Leong, CEO of BTSE.
The BTSE token is set to be listed on the exchange within two hours of the completion of the public token sale. With an initial sale price of $2, users can purchase a minimum of one and a maximum of 25,000 tokens per verified account. A total of up to one million tokens will be available during the token sale.
The BTSE token is the first exchange token launched on the Liquid Network, a federated Bitcoin sidechain that is widely regarded as one of the leading examples in sidechain development.
"We are excited to see token issuance on the Liquid Network taking off with BTSE launching their native exchange token on the platform," said Adam Back, CEO of Blockstream.
"For an exchange token, issuance on Liquid makes a lot of sense as Liquid's fast transactions and inter-exchange settlement network provide the perfect environment for traders. The BTSE token can also be stored on Blockstream Green, giving users the additional option to store their tokens off-exchange if they want," Back adds.
"We've chosen to launch BTSE's exchange token on the Liquid Network because it facilitates fast transaction times allowing for rapid inter-exchange settlement and lower congestion. It also supports Confidential Transactions, an upgrade to the privacy of assets transacted on the sidechain," said Leong.
Since the beginning of the year, the trading volume on BTSE's futures markets has increased more than six-fold, from 40 million to 250 million USD in daily volume.
The token will be tradeable on the BTSE Exchange's multi-currency spot market which supports ten fiat currencies and seven major cryptocurrencies.
BTSE token benefits include reduced trading fees, increased limits and rebates for selected services, a higher referral bonus, access to special programs and campaigns, the option to participate in staking programs, and payment for additional services within the BTSE ecosystem, such as listing fees, advanced trading functions, enhanced data feeds and co-location.
To complement this, BTSE recently announced an upgrade to its 'All-In-One Order Book', making it the first cryptocurrency trading platform with an order book fully inclusive of crypto assets, fiat currencies, and stablecoins.
The token is designed to power the suite of financial services BTSE is developing in order to introduce innovative digital assets to the traditional finance landscape.

Security Operations Teams Leveraging McAfee Will Gain Access to SOAR Technology from Siemplify to Respond to Threats with Greater Speed and Precision

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB) FEBRUARY 25, 2020
Siemplify, the leading independent provider of security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR), today announced it has teamed up with McAfee to make the Siemplify Security Operations Platform available to McAfee customers directly from the highly acclaimed McAfee MVISION ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO), the company's SaaS-based flagship centralized management console.
McAfee customers will be able to experience the benefits of SOAR, breakout technology that enables security operations teams to work more effectively and efficiently by seamlessly automating and orchestrating the multitude of tools and processes required to triage, investigate and respond to cyber threats at scale.
"The McAfee suite of products is designed to help enterprises speed up threat detection and remediation, and MVISION ePO in particular allows IT and security operations personnel to enforce unified security management across our endpoint, network, data and compliance solutions, as well as third-party solutions," said Javed Hasan, global head of enterprise products strategy and alliances at McAfee. "SOAR technology from Siemplify is a natural complement and will help McAfee organizations with SOCs to maximize the value from their McAfee investment by reacting to threats faster, seamlessly expanding their security capabilities and delivering better results through their SOC."
Faced with a steady increase in the volume of security alerts, repetitive and tedious responsibilities, disparate detection tools not designed to work together, and a global cybersecurity talent shortage, security operations teams are constantly under pressure to do more with less. Gartner estimates that "by year-end 2022, 30% of organizations with a security team larger than five people will leverage SOAR tools in their security operations, up from less than 5% today." (Gartner, "Market Guide for Security Orchestration, Automation and Response Solutions," Claudio Neiva, et al, 27 June 2019).
Siemplify is a holistic workbench that allows SOCs to navigate the full scope of security operations and incident response, from initial alert through remediation, by automating workflows and orchestrating security tools from McAfee, as well as the broader security ecosystem. This includes the ability to:
● Leverage ready-to-run use cases developed and maintained by Siemplify experts and power users.
● Download integrations from the Siemplify Marketplace.
● Create playbooks that automate everything from enrichment to response.
● Manage and respond to alerts from SIEMs, as well as other detection tools.
● Track SOC performance via customizable dashboards.
"Every day we see the extraordinary value that SOAR provides to security operations teams of all sizes, so we are incredibly excited to make our unique approach to the technology available to the McAfee user community," said Amos Stern, CEO and co-founder of Siemplify. "We look forward to working closely with McAfee to help their customers take security operations to a new level."
McAfee and Siemplify are showcasing the joint offering at RSA Conference 2020 in San Francisco. To see the Siemplify Security Operations Platform in action, visit McAfee [#N-5745] or Siemplify [#S-561].

Siemplify, the leading independent security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) provider, is redefining security operations for enterprises and MSSPs worldwide. The Siemplify platform is an intuitive workbench that enables security teams to manage their operations from end to end, respond to cyber threats with speed and precision and get smarter with every analyst interaction.
