IRVINE, CALIF. (PRWEB) APRIL 07, 2020
Transtector Systems, an Infinite Electronics brand and an industry-leading provider of end-to-end power and signal integrity solutions, today launched a comprehensive line of USB surge protectors engineered to protect sensitive computer ports from surges and spikes generated by attached devices.
The TSJ-series provides a simple, cost-effective layer of strong surge protection for PCs connected to Wi-Fi adapters, modems, security/CCTV cameras, printers and other computer peripheral devices.
These commercial-quality components protect the computer's sensitive USB ports against power surges and spikes from attached devices. Ultra-low capacitance diodes protect data lines, while an internal protection device clamps power lines to safe levels.
Each TSJ surge protector features a bulkhead design for convenient, versatile mounting in an enclosure, panel or wall plate, or for use as a standalone solution. An attached, fully shielded pigtail (USB Type-A or -B) ensures low-noise data transmission. Pigtails are available in five standard lengths.
"Our focus is always on high-quality, reliable surge protection solutions that meet the specific needs of our customers," said Dan Rebeck, Product Line Manager for Transtector. "Protecting valuable equipment from surges on USB lines is key in today's networks. The TSJ-series is a simple surge protection solution when you have cameras, modems, USB converters or other devices connected with long USB extender cables."
Additional key features include:

USB 2.0 and 1.0 compatibility

Cable length/connector options of 12-, 24-, 36-, 48- and 72-inch, USB type-A or-B

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) APRIL 07, 2020
As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic continues to impact the world, the health and safety of families and communities are at the top of everyone's mind. The lasting impact of COVID-19 is unclear; however, the effects are far-reaching, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. The pandemic is significantly impacting the global economy, conferences, businesses, and their ability to function.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended social distancing to prohibit the spread of the virus. While it's speculated that social distancing will be temporary, unfortunately, many executives have been affected by this crisis and are having to seriously reconsider their company spending. Furthermore, conferences have had to cancel, dramatically impacting people's ability to network in peer-to-peer settings.
For people and organizations that are using paper business cards, but searching for an alternative way to share their contact information (without close contact) with others, Switchit has the perfect solution.
Switchit offers multiple ways to share a digital business card online, through text message, email, QR Code, or social media.
Let's take a look at how an easy exchange of digital cards can help drive online engagement, minimize hand-to-hand contact, and keep remote staff members motivated during this tumultuous time.

Outside Sales Professionals

For sales professionals conducting outside sales or in-person meetings, but are cautious about hand-to-hand contact or being close to others. Use Switchit's built-in sharing features such as text messaging, email, social media, or the QR Code to share your digital business card. And for those who are on the go, needing to share their contact information quickly, use the QR Code to share your card instantly. With the snap of the phone's camera, recipients can view your card and save the contact details to their mobile device.

Free Expert Mobile App Security Review Services Available for COVID-19 Mobile App Developers

CHICAGO (PRWEB) APRIL 07, 2020
NowSecure, the leading mobile app security and privacy software company, announced today two programs to support the dramatic rise in demand for safe mobile apps for remote customers and users, and the immediate need for delivering secure and private mobile apps for COVID-19 global health response.
First, NowSecure is launching for a limited time, a free license program for its mobile application security and privacy testing software. NowSecure Platform delivers automated testing for visibility into mobile app risks, security vulnerabilities, privacy issues and compliance gaps. Organizations can now rapidly test in minutes the mobile apps they build and use to meet the spiking demand. To learn more and request participation in this free software security testing program please register here.
Second, many public and private organizations are racing COVID-19 mobile applications to market to meet critical healthcare needs. NowSecure has already assisted a handful of these organizations and is now offering free expert Mobile App Security Review Services to any qualified mobile app developer building a COVID-19 mobile app for public use. To learn more and request free security testing of a qualified COVID-19 mobile app, please register here.
"Now that the entire attack surface has moved to outside organizational boundaries, businesses, government agencies and educational institutions need to respond quickly to ensure the security and privacy of all of the mobile apps they build for and are used by their employees and customers," said Alan Snyder, CEO of NowSecure. "We have been asked by several organizations to assist with the security testing of COVID-19 Apps. NowSecure is doing our part by making our mobile app security and privacy testing solutions and services available free of charge."
Traditionally enterprises deployed layered defense strategy at the office perimeter. The shift to nearly 100% remote workforce has massively splintered those defenses. With BYOD devices at home and lightly protected home networks, mobile apps on tablets and smartphones are rapidly becoming a primary attack surface. Consumers and mobile app users now homebound depend on businesses to deliver safe experiences across critical industries like healthcare, retail delivery, food delivery, education, communications, government, emergency services, and more.
There are 4.5 million apps in Apple AppStore and Google Play and an estimated 25 million private internally developed mobile apps used by businesses and agencies. Mobile apps already dominated time on device at 63% over desktop time and is expected to grow further. Per App Annie report, for the week of March 14-21 2020 corresponding to the first week of wide-scale stay at home orders, there were 62 million downloads of mobile business apps worldwide -- a spike of 45% week over week and up 90% from the weekly average of 2019. In response to this demand, NowSecure recently released recommendations on safe mobile apps for remote workers. It's now more important than ever that organizations immediately respond to prevent mobile app breaches and reduce risks.
MyOwnMed partnered with Drexel University to develop and release a Drexel Health Tracker mobile app to support students, faculty and employees to collect and share real-time, real-world data in the race to support its community and research efforts during this challenging time in a pandemic. "We reached out to NowSecure and were pleased that they rapidly responded in 24 hours to test our mobile app so we could speed it to market from start to finish in just a few weeks," said Vicki Seyfert-Margolis, CEO at MyOwnMed.

STUTTGART, GERMANY AND CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) APRIL 07, 2020
While unexpected, this collaboration was a logical one. As one of the 50 fastest-growing businesses in Germany, AnyDesk has made its mark globally with its proprietary remote access software. Recognizing AnyDesk's clear advantages in speed, power, and versatility, HTC—a global innovator in smart mobile devices and VR technology—joined forces with the German firm to deliver a product with the ability to alter the landscape of mobile connectivity. Rolled out earlier this year, the HTC 5G Hub has been dubbed the world's first 5G smart hub. The Android-based HTC 5G Hub comes pre-installed with AnyDesk, and includes built-in Wi-Fi, remote-control functionality, Google Play Store, touch interface, and tons of storage.
Founded just five years ago, AnyDesk offers its software in 28 languages, making it ideal for pre-installation on the groundbreaking HTC 5G Hub, as well as all other HTC Android-based smart phones. "AnyDesk really is a new kind of remote access software," AnyDesk Founder and CEO Philipp Weiser explains. AnyDesk stunned the industry in July, announcing its 100 millionth download, with an estimated 7 million users added each month.
According to Weiser, HTC's technology provides key features that make the HTC 5G Hub a game-changer, including the ability to provide a virtually latency-free solution, together with next-level security, and a long-lasting battery (7,660 mAh). The HTC 5G Hub is designed for high-speed mobility with the next-generation business environment in mind, with very real applications for the entertainment and gaming industries as well. With the power of AnyDesk, the HTC 5G Hub provides hotspots (2) that can support up to 20 devices, enabling users to access its remote-control features anytime, anywhere, from any platform. Its flexible configuration also allows for corporate VPN. Loaded with smart functionality, it is possible to create a wireless office using the HTC 5G Hub, including connecting printers, computers, phones, and any other device. The HTC 5G Hub offers unmatched ease of use that also applies to home environments, facilitating smooth streaming of 4K video and low-latency gaming.
The HTC 5G Hub was recently named among the "Best 5G Hotspots, 2019" by AndroidCentral (AC). AC's review of the hub boldly states: "With a 5-inch 720p touchscreen and Android 9 support, this hub evolves from a backup connection to a complete internet solution." (See https://www.androidcentral.com/best-5g-hotspots).
The pre-installation of AnyDesk and its remote-control plugin marks the first-ever deep integration of this technology with a global supplier. But Weiser says this collaboration is the first of many AnyDesk innovations to watch for in the next year. In fact, Weiser revealed AnyDesk will offer a full suite of products based on its next-level technology in the near future. "Overall, we have the mindset that good is not good enough," Weiser remarks. "We always aim for supreme excellence."

The partnership will help accelerate the time-to-market of the Jeeva decentralized clinical trial solution.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) APRIL 08, 2020
KiwiTech, LLC, an innovation platform that helps startups build viable products, drive traction, and raise capital, today announced a strategic partnership with Jeeva Informatics Solutions Inc, an AI-driven startup that builds patient-focused big data and digital health solutions for accelerating clinical research.
"We are excited to support Jeeva in their mission to decentralize clinical research, reduce patients' travel burden and optimize operations," said Rakesh Gupta, Co-Founder, and CEO of KiwiTech. "Though Jeeva set out on their vision much before the current pandemic, it has become particularly relevant in the context of COVID-19. We look forward to helping Jeeva further its mission and scale through our unique startup ecosystem."
While Biopharmaceutical companies have been conducting randomized controlled clinical trials for over 70 years, the traditional process has become unsustainable. According to a 2018 report by PhRMA, the average cost of bringing one successful therapy to market through FDA approval exceeded $2.5B and took over 12 years.
Jeeva Informatics was selected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in Spring 2019 into the Innovation Corps grant program at their Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) node, Boston, MA to understand first-hand, the various stakeholders' perspectives on the pain-points and bottlenecks. Having interviewed over 300 customer stakeholders of clinical trials in the U.S., the major pain points recorded consistently were patient recruitment, retention, and protocol adherence.
"Patients' travel burden of visiting brick-and-mortar sites is a single problem that, when solved right, can help address all of those customer pain-points. Jeeva is focused on solving this problem by developing a real-time decentralized solution for collecting patients' outcomes data which replaces in-person interactions with videoconferencing, digital engagement, and remote safety monitoring. Such a robust solution can enable our customers to better manage unforeseen complexities, such as those arising out of a global pandemic." said Harsha Rajasimha, founder and CEO of Jeeva.
Earlier this year in January, Jeeva had announced a round of investment led by CITGapFunds and plans to launch its first product in late 2020 with several clients. Jeeva's initial focus will include long-term follow-ups after the administration of cell and gene therapies for rare diseases and Cancer. Jeeva is seeking additional early adopters and strategic partners with access to real-world clinical settings.
"Our selection process is highly competitive. In 2019, we received 40,734 startup applications, interviewed 2,501 of them, and invested in only 109 of them. Jeeva expects to achieve its minimum viable product in 2020 for its initial set of customers and strategic partners. The partnership with KiwiTech allows Jeeva to leverage our deep technical expertise and insight to realize the promise of decentralized or hybrid clinical trials in the U.S. and eventually globally," said Gupta.
About KiwiTech
Over the last decade, KiwiTech has led innovation across multiple verticals scaling businesses in the tech space. KiwiTech intimately understands the challenges faced by new founders, aspiring unicorns and established leaders and works closely with them to realize their passion and purpose. Through its extensive relationships and expertise, KiwiTech brings a perspective that helps strategically connect technology creators with technology consumers. KiwiTech is an ecosystem of proactive investors and advisors who are passionate about building technology, supporting entrepreneurship, and helping companies realize their maximum potential.
About Jeeva Informatics
Jeeva is a seed-stage venture-backed startup on a mission to develop AI-driven decentralized clinical trials and optimize patient-focused clinical research. The Jeeva Trials solution reduces patient travel burden by replacing in-person trial site visits with videoconferencing, remote monitoring and digital engagement. Jeeva is particularly beneficial for both rare disorders and clinical research studies involving long-term follow-ups and safety monitoring. Jeeva is a member of several life science membership organizations including Virginia BIO, BioHealth Capital Region, and the Global Genes Corporate Alliance.

The digital business card platform for easy contact sharing is providing feature-rich, digital networking tools for people online.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) APRIL 07, 2020
As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic continues to impact the world, the health and safety of families and communities are at the top of everyone's mind. The lasting impact of COVID-19 is unclear; however, the effects are far-reaching, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. The pandemic is significantly impacting the global economy, conferences, businesses, and their ability to function.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has recommended social distancing to prohibit the spread of the virus. While it's speculated that social distancing will be temporary, unfortunately, many executives have been affected by this crisis and are having to seriously reconsider their company spending. Furthermore, conferences have had to cancel, dramatically impacting people's ability to network in peer-to-peer settings.
For people and organizations that are using paper business cards, but searching for an alternative way to share their contact information (without close contact) with others, Switchit has the perfect solution.
Switchit offers multiple ways to share a digital business card online, through text message, email, QR Code, or social media.
Let's take a look at how an easy exchange of digital cards can help drive online engagement, minimize hand-to-hand contact, and keep remote staff members motivated during this tumultuous time.
Make Your Digital Conference or Online Event Come Alive

Amid the COVID-19 Pandemic, conferences and event planners can still provide attendees with rich, virtual engagement opportunities by infusing Switchit's QR Code to facilitate an online networking experience. Our platform offers a seamless, creative way for all attendees to share their contact information in any online environment. Using the phone's camera, event attendees' can take a picture of their peer's QR Code, allowing them to view the digital card in their phone's web browser. Even better, event attendees do not need the app installed to view other attendee's cards.

If you are a conference or event coordinator looking to offer attendees a way to share contact information safely and securely, feel free to contact us at team@switchitapp.com. We'd love to work with you.

Inside Sales Professionals Working Remotely

For inside sales professionals and people working remotely, use Switchit's Online User Portal to conveniently share a digital business card from any desktop computer, laptop, or internet-connected device. The user portal is easy-to-use and provides the flexibility to share your digital card through text, email, and social media without the need for a mobile phone.

Additional functionality includes the ability to edit your cards, export contacts to a CSV file, OCR business card scanner, CRM integration, and more. The portal also works excellent with Point of Sale (POS) systems, providing the sales associates with the capability to share their contact information at the point of conversation.

Outside Sales Professionals

For sales professionals conducting outside sales or in-person meetings, but are cautious about hand-to-hand contact or being close to others. Use Switchit's built-in sharing features such as text messaging, email, social media, or the QR Code to share your digital business card. And for those who are on the go, needing to share their contact information quickly, use the QR Code to share your card instantly. With the snap of the phone's camera, recipients can view your card and save the contact details to their mobile device.

Need to follow-up with leads? Create reminder alerts inside Switchit, by syncing your Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, or iCloud Calendar account to ensure people don't fall through the cracks.

Free Expert Mobile App Security Review Services Available for COVID-19 Mobile App Developers

CHICAGO (PRWEB) APRIL 07, 2020
NowSecure, the leading mobile app security and privacy software company, announced today two programs to support the dramatic rise in demand for safe mobile apps for remote customers and users, and the immediate need for delivering secure and private mobile apps for COVID-19 global health response.
First, NowSecure is launching for a limited time, a free license program for its mobile application security and privacy testing software. NowSecure Platform delivers automated testing for visibility into mobile app risks, security vulnerabilities, privacy issues and compliance gaps. Organizations can now rapidly test in minutes the mobile apps they build and use to meet the spiking demand. To learn more and request participation in this free software security testing program please register here.
Second, many public and private organizations are racing COVID-19 mobile applications to market to meet critical healthcare needs. NowSecure has already assisted a handful of these organizations and is now offering free expert Mobile App Security Review Services to any qualified mobile app developer building a COVID-19 mobile app for public use. To learn more and request free security testing of a qualified COVID-19 mobile app, please register here.
"Now that the entire attack surface has moved to outside organizational boundaries, businesses, government agencies and educational institutions need to respond quickly to ensure the security and privacy of all of the mobile apps they build for and are used by their employees and customers," said Alan Snyder, CEO of NowSecure. "We have been asked by several organizations to assist with the security testing of COVID-19 Apps. NowSecure is doing our part by making our mobile app security and privacy testing solutions and services available free of charge."
Traditionally enterprises deployed layered defense strategy at the office perimeter. The shift to nearly 100% remote workforce has massively splintered those defenses. With BYOD devices at home and lightly protected home networks, mobile apps on tablets and smartphones are rapidly becoming a primary attack surface. Consumers and mobile app users now homebound depend on businesses to deliver safe experiences across critical industries like healthcare, retail delivery, food delivery, education, communications, government, emergency services, and more.
There are 4.5 million apps in Apple AppStore and Google Play and an estimated 25 million private internally developed mobile apps used by businesses and agencies. Mobile apps already dominated time on device at 63% over desktop time and is expected to grow further. Per App Annie report, for the week of March 14-21 2020 corresponding to the first week of wide-scale stay at home orders, there were 62 million downloads of mobile business apps worldwide -- a spike of 45% week over week and up 90% from the weekly average of 2019. In response to this demand, NowSecure recently released recommendations on safe mobile apps for remote workers. It's now more important than ever that organizations immediately respond to prevent mobile app breaches and reduce risks.
MyOwnMed partnered with Drexel University to develop and release a Drexel Health Tracker mobile app to support students, faculty and employees to collect and share real-time, real-world data in the race to support its community and research efforts during this challenging time in a pandemic. "We reached out to NowSecure and were pleased that they rapidly responded in 24 hours to test our mobile app so we could speed it to market from start to finish in just a few weeks," said Vicki Seyfert-Margolis, CEO at MyOwnMed.

STUTTGART, GERMANY AND CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB) APRIL 07, 2020
While unexpected, this collaboration was a logical one. As one of the 50 fastest-growing businesses in Germany, AnyDesk has made its mark globally with its proprietary remote access software. Recognizing AnyDesk's clear advantages in speed, power, and versatility, HTC—a global innovator in smart mobile devices and VR technology—joined forces with the German firm to deliver a product with the ability to alter the landscape of mobile connectivity. Rolled out earlier this year, the HTC 5G Hub has been dubbed the world's first 5G smart hub. The Android-based HTC 5G Hub comes pre-installed with AnyDesk, and includes built-in Wi-Fi, remote-control functionality, Google Play Store, touch interface, and tons of storage.
Founded just five years ago, AnyDesk offers its software in 28 languages, making it ideal for pre-installation on the groundbreaking HTC 5G Hub, as well as all other HTC Android-based smart phones. "AnyDesk really is a new kind of remote access software," AnyDesk Founder and CEO Philipp Weiser explains. AnyDesk stunned the industry in July, announcing its 100 millionth download, with an estimated 7 million users added each month.
According to Weiser, HTC's technology provides key features that make the HTC 5G Hub a game-changer, including the ability to provide a virtually latency-free solution, together with next-level security, and a long-lasting battery (7,660 mAh). The HTC 5G Hub is designed for high-speed mobility with the next-generation business environment in mind, with very real applications for the entertainment and gaming industries as well. With the power of AnyDesk, the HTC 5G Hub provides hotspots (2) that can support up to 20 devices, enabling users to access its remote-control features anytime, anywhere, from any platform. Its flexible configuration also allows for corporate VPN. Loaded with smart functionality, it is possible to create a wireless office using the HTC 5G Hub, including connecting printers, computers, phones, and any other device. The HTC 5G Hub offers unmatched ease of use that also applies to home environments, facilitating smooth streaming of 4K video and low-latency gaming.
The HTC 5G Hub was recently named among the "Best 5G Hotspots, 2019" by AndroidCentral (AC). AC's review of the hub boldly states: "With a 5-inch 720p touchscreen and Android 9 support, this hub evolves from a backup connection to a complete internet solution." (See https://www.androidcentral.com/best-5g-hotspots).
The pre-installation of AnyDesk and its remote-control plugin marks the first-ever deep integration of this technology with a global supplier. But Weiser says this collaboration is the first of many AnyDesk innovations to watch for in the next year. In fact, Weiser revealed AnyDesk will offer a full suite of products based on its next-level technology in the near future. "Overall, we have the mindset that good is not good enough," Weiser remarks. "We always aim for supreme excellence."

The partnership will help accelerate the time-to-market of the Jeeva decentralized clinical trial solution.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) APRIL 08, 2020
KiwiTech, LLC, an innovation platform that helps startups build viable products, drive traction, and raise capital, today announced a strategic partnership with Jeeva Informatics Solutions Inc, an AI-driven startup that builds patient-focused big data and digital health solutions for accelerating clinical research.
"We are excited to support Jeeva in their mission to decentralize clinical research, reduce patients' travel burden and optimize operations," said Rakesh Gupta, Co-Founder, and CEO of KiwiTech. "Though Jeeva set out on their vision much before the current pandemic, it has become particularly relevant in the context of COVID-19. We look forward to helping Jeeva further its mission and scale through our unique startup ecosystem."
While Biopharmaceutical companies have been conducting randomized controlled clinical trials for over 70 years, the traditional process has become unsustainable. According to a 2018 report by PhRMA, the average cost of bringing one successful therapy to market through FDA approval exceeded $2.5B and took over 12 years.
Jeeva Informatics was selected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) in Spring 2019 into the Innovation Corps grant program at their Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) node, Boston, MA to understand first-hand, the various stakeholders' perspectives on the pain-points and bottlenecks. Having interviewed over 300 customer stakeholders of clinical trials in the U.S., the major pain points recorded consistently were patient recruitment, retention, and protocol adherence.
"Patients' travel burden of visiting brick-and-mortar sites is a single problem that, when solved right, can help address all of those customer pain-points. Jeeva is focused on solving this problem by developing a real-time decentralized solution for collecting patients' outcomes data which replaces in-person interactions with videoconferencing, digital engagement, and remote safety monitoring. Such a robust solution can enable our customers to better manage unforeseen complexities, such as those arising out of a global pandemic." said Harsha Rajasimha, founder and CEO of Jeeva.
Earlier this year in January, Jeeva had announced a round of investment led by CITGapFunds and plans to launch its first product in late 2020 with several clients. Jeeva's initial focus will include long-term follow-ups after the administration of cell and gene therapies for rare diseases and Cancer. Jeeva is seeking additional early adopters and strategic partners with access to real-world clinical settings.
"Our selection process is highly competitive. In 2019, we received 40,734 startup applications, interviewed 2,501 of them, and invested in only 109 of them. Jeeva expects to achieve its minimum viable product in 2020 for its initial set of customers and strategic partners. The partnership with KiwiTech allows Jeeva to leverage our deep technical expertise and insight to realize the promise of decentralized or hybrid clinical trials in the U.S. and eventually globally," said Gupta.
About KiwiTech
Over the last decade, KiwiTech has led innovation across multiple verticals scaling businesses in the tech space. KiwiTech intimately understands the challenges faced by new founders, aspiring unicorns and established leaders and works closely with them to realize their passion and purpose. Through its extensive relationships and expertise, KiwiTech brings a perspective that helps strategically connect technology creators with technology consumers. KiwiTech is an ecosystem of proactive investors and advisors who are passionate about building technology, supporting entrepreneurship, and helping companies realize their maximum potential.
About Jeeva Informatics
Jeeva is a seed-stage venture-backed startup on a mission to develop AI-driven decentralized clinical trials and optimize patient-focused clinical research. The Jeeva Trials solution reduces patient travel burden by replacing in-person trial site visits with videoconferencing, remote monitoring and digital engagement. Jeeva is particularly beneficial for both rare disorders and clinical research studies involving long-term follow-ups and safety monitoring. Jeeva is a member of several life science membership organizations including Virginia BIO, BioHealth Capital Region, and the Global Genes Corporate Alliance.

Today, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court has approved a settlement that will result in the dismissal of NanoMech's bankruptcy case filed last year.

WILMINGTON, DEL. (PRWEB) APRIL 08, 2020
Today, the Delaware Bankruptcy Court has approved a settlement that will result in the dismissal of NanoMech's bankruptcy case filed last year [Case number 19-10851 (JTD)]. The settlement resolves and eliminates any issues over why the company went into bankruptcy.
As is often done in bankruptcy cases, NanoMech authorized a third-party to conduct a thorough review of its business activities and financial affairs, including the eight years that the company operated under the leadership of former CEO Jim Phillips. The post-bankruptcy board of directors completed its review and determined that under the leadership of Mr. Phillips, NanoMech appropriately addressed the many challenges it faced as an investment-stage company and that there was no wrongdoing associated with Mr. Phillips' stewardship, the performance of Mr. Phillips and the other pre-bankruptcy directors and officers, or with Mr. Phillips' retirement from the company.    
Long-time Director Deborah Wince Smith said "I had the opportunity to witness Jim's entrepreneurial skills and non-stop dedication to building NanoMech from a research entity to a producer of products contending with some of the largest companies in the world, in industries important to America's competitiveness in science and innovation."
NanoMech's current CEO Ben Waisbren commented that "during his tenure, Mr. Phillips made significant headway with many key milestones in diligently building the company towards maturity in the early stage nanotechnology manufacturing era. Mr. Phillips also conducted NanoMech's business with honesty, integrity and trustworthiness."
Mr. Phillips is now Chairman and CEO of The Covenant Business Group, LLC, an internationally focused firm involved in bringing new companies and innovations to market in a variety of emerging technology platforms.

New QuantaVerse Features Help Financial Institutions Curtail AML Compliance Costs

WAYNE, PA. (PRWEB) APRIL 08, 2020
QuantaVerse, the only company to offer an end-to-end financial crime platform that uses AI and machine learning to automate the majority of the AML investigation process, has announced new enhancements to its AI Financial Crime Platform. These capabilities were delivered to help QuantaVerse customers reduce overall AML compliance costs by automating time-consuming investigative tasks and finding criminality faster and more accurately.
"We are continually innovating and rolling out new features and improvements to meet the needs of our customers," explained David McLaughlin, CEO and Founder of QuantaVerse. "Specifically, these new capabilities reinforce our commitment to helping customers significantly cut AML costs while remaining effective in identifying financial crime risk."
The following are some of the key enhancements added to the QuantaVerse platform over the past six months:

Direct and Indirect Relationship Agents: To more accurately discover instances of potential criminality, relationship-focused AI agents can now analyze non-transactional connections, such as parent-subsidiary, shareholder, and employee connections, to better define the risk of transacting parties.

Economic Purpose: QuantaVerse's ability to identify an entity's line-of-business has been enhanced as well as its capacity to determine if transactions between two companies make business sense.

Enhanced Web Data Collector: QuantaVerse upgraded its Web Data Collector model which proactively searches open source databases for information regarding transacting parties. This data includes negative media, line-of-business classifications, jurisdiction information, and other risk-bearing facts.

Incremental Processing: Enhancements to QuantaVerse's incremental processing stream now enable the loading of previously run entity resolution analytics results with recently added transactions to significantly increase scalability.

QuantaVerse Alert Investigator UI: A brand-new user interface, designed with investigative efficiency in mind, enables customers to easily perform alert status tracking and investigator annotation.

Network Visualization Enhancements: Network visualization improvements enable users to easily see and interpret all transactional connections in a network, helping them quickly gain insights into the scope of activities of a risky group of customers.

QuantaVerse offers advanced AI solutions that identify patterns and discern anomalies that current approaches and systems regularly miss. Unlike RPA and AI-enabled AML tools that accelerate individual steps within an investigative process, QuantaVerse's end-to-end financial crime platform eliminates more than 80 percent of investigative efforts through automation. With QuantaVerse, investigators can assess more cases each day, and use QuantaVerse Financial Crime Reports to more quickly file SARs when required. Working with banks and their regulators, QuantaVerse's AML solutions have been proven to reduce investigative costs by as much as 40 percent.
For more information and to schedule a demo of the new enhancements, please visit http://www.quantaverse.net/contact.

NASHVILLE, TENN. (PRWEB) APRIL 08, 2020
Sphere, Powered by TrustCommerce, a leading provider of end-to-end integrated payments and security software, today announced it has launched a Hosted Multi-Channel Payment suite. This solution gives software vendors the power of accepting payments via multiple channels through one simple integration.
The ability to accept payments within a Software as a Service (SaaS) solution is essential. With consumer demand for anytime, anywhere payments, Sphere has developed a Hosted Multi-Channel Payment Suite with one of the simplest integrations on the market. One integration into our robust hosted payment form connects independent software vendors (ISVs) to many payment acceptance channels: countertop EMV, call center/back office, and traditional online/ecommerce transactions. These solutions are highly customizable, ensuring branding continuity and a seamless user experience. A full sandbox environment is available as well as sample code assistance.
Using a hosted model, sensitive payment data stays out of software vendor environments, helping to protect transactions and reduce PCI scope. To help further mitigate risk and exposure, the Hosted Multi-Channel Payments Suite supports PCI Validated Point-to-Point Encryption.
Security features include:

Tokenization for recurring and subscription payments

Validated Point to Point Encryption

Velocity controls to reduce fraudulent activity

Recaptcha

Because Sphere is a gateway and merchant services provider, we are a single source for payments, reducing moving parts and avoiding potential points of interference.
"No other platform gives software vendors more choice, less development effort, and greater opportunities for immediate revenue," said Steve Rizzuto, Chief Executive Officer of Sphere.
"With decades of experience working with developers and integration partners, the TrustCommerce Gateway offers a wide range of products and integration methods," said Curtis Bauer, Chief Product Officer of Sphere.

IPVideo Corp. announced today that the new privacy security features for their HALO IOT Smart Sensor have earned two 2020 Platinum Govies Government Security Awards.

BAY SHORE, N.Y. (PRWEB) APRIL 08, 2020
IPVideo Corporation was selected as a 2020 Platinum Govies Government Security Award winner in two categories: Fire and Life Safety and Monitoring Solutions for the new 2.0 features release of HALO IOT Smart Sensor.
The new award-winning features of the HALO IOT Smart Sensor include spoken keyword alerting and gunshot detection through HALO's firmware 2.0 update. Individuals under duress can now utilize a spoken keyword to send instant alerts to security for help in privacy areas that cannot have a camera, areas like bathrooms, hotel rooms, patient rooms, dorm rooms, locker rooms, dressing rooms, apartments, et al. Thousands of incidents still occur in these places each year and needed privacy laws maintain their vulnerability, until now.
Now a daughter in her dorm room, a hotel housekeeper, a patient under duress, a student in a hazing incident or your elderly parent living by themselves can alert security to an attack or emergency situation in real-time by shouting a keyword like "HALO HELP". The audio is still not being recorded maintaining privacy, but the alerts are automatically sent to security for immediate response. To help diffuse situations, the alerts can also trigger an audible message that an emergency has been declared and security has been notified.    
Another new feature is the addition of machine learning capabilities to establish audible level "normalcies". Advanced gunshot detection audio analytics can trigger a facility lock-down and an emergency call response via the integration of third-party security applications when detected.
All these new features will be available for download via the new firmware 2.0 at no additional cost!
Security Today magazine recognized the HALO IOT Smart Sensors 2.0 new features as an outstanding government security product in two categories: Fire and Life Safety and Monitoring Solutions. The awards were announced on March 18th the original date for the postponed ISC West show.
"These new features are a game changer for the security industry and government agencies which did not have a good solution in place for privacy areas." states David Antar, President of IPVideo Corporation. "We are constantly looking to bring new features to better protect our clients and citizens and I am very pleased that we were able to include these great new safety and technical features at no additional cost to our government customers."
"For more than a decade now, we have had the honor of awarding platinum and gold awards to manufacturers who supply solutions to the many government entities," said Ralph C. Jensen, editor in chief of Security Today magazine. "Today is no different. I'm so pleased with the diversity and quality shown in the products entered in this year's competition. Our GovSec publication has been a guiding light of the newest solutions available to the end user. We're proud to be part of the government body."
HALO IOT Smart Sensor and the 2.0 firmware updates are patent pending.

Minnesota Information Technology Company Serves Clients Needs to Work Remotely During Covid-19 Stay-at-Home Order.

COON RAPIDS, MINN. (PRWEB) APRIL 08, 2020
AvarTec, a full-service information technology company announced today that it is ready to take on new clients who find themselves needing extra assistance as they transfer to remote workplaces and work from home (WFH) due to the Covid-19 Outbreak.
On the heels of Governor Tim Walz' State of the State Address on April 5, and no abrupt end expected for his stay at home order, AvarTec has seen a marked increase in requests for their IT services to help business large and small who need to transform to remote offices and working from home in a matter of days.
"It's been a unique and challenging time," said Jim Mehle, CEO of AvarTec. "We have certainly seen an uptick in our business during this unprecedented time."
AvarTec has worked steadily since the outbreak to transform many corporate offices into several branch offices located in the homes of client's employees.
"On a recent weekend we helped a company with 70 employees go fully remote," said Mehle. "By Monday morning they were plugged in and ready to go. We provide everything, support, laptops and all necessary tools to make sure everything is secured and operational."
While AvarTec is helping clients work remotely, AvarTec employees are also working from home to meet the needs of those clients. This time away from the office has brought clients of a different feather to the office in Coon Rapids.
A rafter of wild turkeys has been seen entering the entryway to the office while it is closed. The office is just a stone's throw from the Coon Rapids Dam area, making the turkey visit plausible but unique.
"In the midst of this trying time for all of us, these turkeys have brought some levity to the situation," said Mehle.
In the end, Mehle said his company is ready and able to help mid to large sized business transform their IT services to meet the challenges of doing business amid a historic pandemic. They are poised to put Microsoft Teams and Office 365 hybrid solutions in place on a fast track for business who want to be more effective, efficient, and engaged with their remote workforce.
"You are really seeing the good businesses in this field rise to the top as more and more companies go remote," said Mehle. "We aren't advertising much; people are just finding us and have heard we know our stuff and offer fast, reliable service. We pride ourselves on relationship building. Now more than ever that is so important in times like these."
In addition to helping with technology hurdles through these trying times, AvarTec has partnered with Experience Leadership in Eden Prairie to help their clients and business leaders re-tool their team management and process to maximize productivity and the engagement of their remote employees.

AllazoHealth, a company that uses artificial intelligence to help pharmaceuticals, payers, and pharmacies improve medication adherence and quality outcomes, announced today that pharmaceutical industry veteran Mark Degatano will be joining the company's Advisory Board.

NEW YORK (PRWEB) APRIL 09, 2020
AllazoHealth, a company that uses artificial intelligence to help pharmaceuticals, payers, and pharmacies improve medication adherence and quality outcomes, announced today that pharmaceutical industry veteran Mark Degatano will be joining the company's Advisory Board. Mr. Degatano has over 35 years of industry experience spanning client, vendor and start-up areas. He currently serves on the advisory boards of several innovative providers in the pharmaceutical industry, and is a leader in developing and commercializing data-based solutions to help companies improve brand performance and grow sales.
"Mark brings a wealth of experience in the pharmaceutical space and with analytics that is incredibly aligned with the value that AllazoHealth provides to the market," commented Devraj Mukherjee, Vice President of Business Development for AllazoHealth. "We're looking forward to leveraging Mark's experience to continue on our growth trajectory."
Prior to joining the AllazoHealth advisory board, Mr. Degatano's professional background included 24 years with Merck where he rose to Vice President of Customer Insights. He was previously Chief Operating Officer of ComSort Inc., a healthcare data analytics company. In addition, he has worked at numerous data and service providers, including Symphony Health, Prognos, IQVIA, and Aptus Health.
"The AllazoHealth approach of using artificial intelligence effectively addresses an important, long-standing problem in patient adherence and engagement," said Mr. Degatano. "I'm confident my experiences on the client and solutions sides will help the company more effectively express the great value their AI capabilities bring to brand performance, and ultimately improves patient engagement."
According to Mr. Degatano, while many suppliers talk "AI", very few can actually demonstrate how it benefits brand marketers. "This shortfall is especially true in the increasingly important ability to drive patient engagement. Over the next few years, there will be a greater focus on AI-based solutions that actually achieve their patient engagement goals. This is where AllazoHealth is already making a significant improvement on behalf of its clients," he concluded.
Mr. Degatano holds a B.A. in mathematics and an M.A. in statistics, both from Boston University. He is joining AllazoHealth's advisory board effective immediately.

Cyber Security Cloud announced today that its cloud-based Web Application Firewall (WAF) service has been adopted by over 1,000 companies in Japan.

TOKYO (PRWEB) APRIL 10, 2020
Cyber Security Cloud announced today that its cloud-based Web Application Firewall (WAF) service has been adopted by over 1,000 companies in Japan.

Background

Cybersecurity in companies is broadly categorized into "Internal Security" and "Web Security," and especially in the field of "Web Security," despite the high risk of personal information leaks due to cyber attacks, companies tend to lack awareness and countermeasures.
Looking at the incidents related to personal information leaks in 2018*1, it was found that eight of the top ten incidents with the largest number of leaks were caused by unauthorized access, and the number of leaks in those eight incidents alone accounted for a total of 2,300,859 leaks, accounting for more than 40% of the total number of personal information leaks (5,613,797).
Looking at the security market as a whole*2, the "Web Security" field is expected to have the highest growth rate, with the WAF (Web Application Firewall) market being driven by SaaS-type products.
Demand is growing against the backdrop of a succession of diversified cyber-attacks such as DDoS attacks and ransomware, and the demand for new installations is expanding not only among large organizations, which had been the focus of demand in the past but also among small and medium-sized enterprises, which have been relatively behind in terms of security measures.

Factors Behind the Cumulative Total No. of Companies that Have Adopted the Cloud-Based WAF "Shadankun" Exceeding 1,000

The cloud-based WAF "Shadankun", which has been adopted by more than 1000 companies and ranks No. 1 in Japan in terms of adoption rate*3, is a web security service that detects and blocks cyber-attacks on websites and web servers.
Recently, Cyneural, an AI engine that uses deep learning to detect attacks, was developed and put into operation. Utilizing an enormous amount of cyber-attack data obtained through the service with the highest adoption rate in Japan, CSC is constantly enhancing its services by being able to detect not only general attacks but also unknown attacks and false positives at high speed.
In addition to such product capabilities, the high level of support provided by CSC as a Web security service from Japan, and the steady growth in their activities to strengthen alliances with sales partners, have contributed to the increase in the number of companies that have adopted Shadankun.
Furthermore, as the number of companies that telecommute or work from home is rapidly increasing, it is expected that offices will become scarce, and the number of cases will increase due to the delay in the detection of cyberattacks. CSC has been quick to respond to this demand and plans to continue to aim to increase the number of companies that have adopted their services.

About Cloud-Based WAF "Shadankun"

Cloud-based WAF "Shadankun" is a web security service that detects and blocks cyber-attacks on websites and web servers by quickly responding to the latest threats utilizing the world's leading cyber threat intelligence team "Cyhorus". Also, it has been ranked No. 1 in Japan in terms of adoption rate.*3

About Cyber Security Cloud, Inc.

With an aim to create a secure cyberspace that people around the world can use safely, Cyber Security Cloud provides web application security services worldwide using the world's leading cyber threat intelligence and AI technology. CSC is also certified as the 7th AWS WAF Managed Rules Seller in the world by AWS (Amazon Web Service) which boasts a 47.8% global cloud market share. *4

Next Caller Finds 1-in-3 Americans Believe They Have Been a Target of Fraud

NEW YORK (PRWEB) APRIL 09, 2020
With COVID-19 bringing unprecedented challenges to enterprises and consumers alike, new research from call verification and fraud detection company, Next Caller, shows a worrisome increase in call traffic from bad actors looking to cash in on new vulnerabilities created by the global pandemic.
The company's Fraud & COVID-19 Report: Preparing For Waves of Fraud and Consumer Confusion found that during the week of March 16 -- which coincided with the time that many Americans started staying home to curb the spread of COVID-19 -- there was an extraordinary strain placed on contact centers operated by Fortune 500 banking clients. While the rapid rise in call volumes may not be entirely surprising, Next Caller has uncovered a far more alarming trend.
Internal data reveals a massive increase in call spoofing, the primary technique phone criminals use to trick businesses into automatically matching them with customer accounts. While data suggests that consumer calling may ebb and flow weekly, suspicious or high risk calls have increased unabated. After just 3 weeks, high-risk calls are up 28% on average, outpacing the growth rate of overall call traffic-- suggesting that as concerned customers call in waves, hundreds of thousands of potentially fraudulent attacks pummel contact centers in their wake.
To shed light on the potential impact that this influx of criminal activity could have on both the enterprise and the general public, Next Caller combined internal data with a research study administered to over 1,000 Americans. Amongst the many findings, the study found that 32% of Americans believe that they have already been targeted by some form of fraud related to COVID-19.
With millions awaiting financial relief from the government's $2Trillion stimulus package, the activity seen to date may be the precursor to an impending tsunami of fraud aimed at stealing money and information from individuals. Widespread anxiety and confusion only threaten to exacerbate the problem by providing ample cover for fraudsters to stress-test contact center security systems.
"It's no surprise that fraudsters are exploiting a chaotic circumstance, that's the playbook," says Next Caller CEO Ian Roncoroni. "What is particularly dangerous is the timing and the broadening scope of the schemes. People are understandably confused and distracted, and so they may be more likely to let down their guard, especially when attacked from new and different directions. And while businesses are desperate to provide relief, contact centers don't stand a chance when criminals can successfully pose as customers. It's the perfect storm for fraud."
Findings from the report include:

During the week of March 16-23, two Fortune 500 financial institutions saw call volumes spike over 35%. Telecommunications companies saw similar volume increases.

In the most drastic case, during Week 3 one financial institution saw call volumes increase to almost 60% above Pre-COVID-19 levels. Call volume across all clients closed Week 3 up over 15% from traffic prior to Week 1.

Weeks 1-3 show a steady rise in high-risk calls disproportionate to the ebb and flow of overall call traffic patterns. After 3 weeks, high-risk calls are up nearly 30% without a decline during that time period.

At the same time, nearly 1-in-3 Americans (32%) say that they believe they've already been targeted by fraud or scams related to COVID-19.

52% of Americans are more concerned about being victimized by fraud than they normally would be due to COVID-19 related fraud and scams.

Nearly 1-in-3 Americans are "not at all confident" that businesses and government institutions are taking the necessary measures.

The full report can be viewed here.
Recently crossing a 1 Billion calls analyzed milestone, Next Caller's fraud detection platform uses machine learning and extensive telephone network data insights to protect leading Fortune 100 enterprises across the financial services, telecommunications, and healthcare.
About Next Caller
Next Caller is the market's smartest enterprise-grade call verification and fraud detection technology for contact centers. Next Caller's primary service, VeriCall, allows businesses to instantly and passively "green light" real customers while flagging suspicious activity (like call spoofing) to stop phone fraud before it starts. With Next Caller, businesses save time, money, and avoid treating customers like criminals—all without compromising security. Next Caller was founded in 2012 with headquarters in New York City.

Google Classroom integration eliminates manual double data entry and eases teachers' workload.

HAMPDEN, MASS. (PRWEB) APRIL 09, 2020
Rediker Software is proud to announce the integration of its TeacherPlus Gradebook with Google Classroom. The integration now allows teachers to connect their TeacherPlus Gradebook to their Google Classrooms, eliminating the need for manual double data entry and allowing more time for teaching, communication and collaboration.
Teachers can also link Gradebook columns with Google Classwork assignments and retrieve scores from completed assignments. Additionally, the TeacherPlus Gradebook columns linked to Google Classroom classwork can be listed as coursework in the students' PlusPortal pages. This creates a more seamless online learning experience for students and teachers.
Rediker customer Mark Botelho recently reported that his school, the International School of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso, Africa, finds the integration the perfect solution for the TeacherPlus Gradebook and Google Classroom usage. "What we found is that TeacherPlus can, with little effort, make the necessary connection to Google Classroom. There is no need to use CSV files, nor any kind of third-party connector in order to get up and running.
"With a couple of clicks you have access to all your Google and TeacherPlus classrooms and lessons contained within," he added. "The sync is seamless and the process of syncing grades is a simple click within TeacherPlus."
Rediker President Andrew Anderlonis is extremely excited to have this partnership with Google. "Integrating Rediker's gradebook with Google Classroom was a big need we saw due to the increased use of Google Classroom in schools and the increased usage of online learning tools," he said. "This fantastic new integration helps teachers with technology by eliminating manual data entry and easing their workload in their already very busy days with students."
About Google Classroom
Classroom is a free web service, developed by Google for schools, that aims to simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments in a paperless way. The primary purpose of Google Classroom is to streamline the process of sharing files between teachers and students. No matter what subject is taught, Google Classroom is a great tool for sharing information with students, collecting their work, and providing feedback. All teacher assignments and student work are put in one place. And just like the gradebook, with Classroom, teachers and students can sign in from any computer or mobile device.
About TeacherPlus Gradebook
TeacherPlus is an easy-to-use, web-based gradebook designed specifically for Administrator's Plus schools. Teachers can access their gradebooks at any time, even from their iPad, and data flows easily between the classroom and central office. TeacherPlus Gradebook includes robust skills and standards-based assessments, and seven different methods of skills grade calculations are offered, including the increasingly popular Power Law method. Grades, comments and narrative data can be included in progress reports and report cards.

BST helps consultants and employers with self-insured health plans understand the likely financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

BOSTON (PRWEB) APRIL 10, 2020
Benefits Science Technologies (BST) has released a modeling tool that projects the financial impact COVID-19 will have on self-funded health plans. Utilizing its industry-leading predictive and prescriptive analytics, and led by Chief Actuary Mike Morrow, Benefits Science has developed a Cash Flow Impact Model (available at http://www.benefitsscience.com) that allows users to tailor scenarios to their populations under various assumptions, such as severity of infection rates, longevity of the crisis, and percentage of services deferred to future months. The tool provides an important first step in helping employers plan for future health plan cost changes.
"Nobody can predict exactly how long this epidemic will last or how many people will be affected," said Stephen Sofoul, MBA, CEO & President, "As the disease progresses and treatments are better known, cost projections will shift. This tool provides employers and their consultants with an easy way to model multiple scenarios – in order to understand the potential range of results."
For employers with self-funded health plans, these challenges include some potentially large changes in expected claims for the remainder of 2020, and likely beyond. Claims are expected to increase as members seek testing and treatment for the disease at urgent care facilities, emergency rooms, and inpatient hospitals. However, some plans will experience lower than expected claims for a period as elective procedures are put on hold or abandoned. BST's interactive tool shows the impact of COVID-19 under different scenarios, providing the expected change to both incurred and paid claims costs when measured against the budgeted cost. This helps employers plan for these cost changes.
BST's Data Science and Actuarial Science teams have developed additional tools to help better score risk and optimize plan design factoring these unprecedented new conditions.
About Benefits Science Technologies
BST provides data analytics software/analysis to help manage the risk of self-funded health plans. Plan holders improve their connection to data, empowering optimal decisions to control costs, and improve the quality of care for plan members. The company distributes these capabilities to employers directly, through brokers/consultants, or by association with carriers (stop-loss and voluntary benefits providers), benefits administrators, professional employer organizations, third party administrators, pharmacy benefit managers, and/or cost-containment providers.
Founded in 2012, the company is recognized as a world-leading research and applied science team, developing advanced analytics and robust optimization methodology for complex health insurance decisions. Our mission is to improve health outcomes while lowering costs by helping our clients uncover the details of their health plan - and providing actionable insights along with outcome predictions for the recommended decisions. Our strategy is to build world-class solutions based on cutting-edge scientific insights.

Map COVID-19 Testing Sites, Access Local Assessment Tools and Get Real-time Health Alerts

VANCOUVER (PRWEB) APRIL 10, 2020
Hot Tomali Communications and AmericanEHR have launched a website to help users find COVID-19 testing sites across the US and Canada. Complete with searchable maps and filters, the website is powered with a set of verified COVID-19 testing locations that have been identified by a growing team of volunteers. Testing location managers can add and/or claim their profile in order to update users on availability, hours, and criteria for COVID-19 testing. The website can be found at HealthAlerts.io.
Health Alerts COVID-19 Testing allows users to submit new testing locations and real time updates through reviews and pictures as a means to crowdsource rapidly changing test site information.
Further, HealthAlerts.io connects users to self-assessment tools based on their geographic location. Self-assessments are generally the first step in determining a person's eligibility for testing. For example some test sites require patients to make an appointment, have a physician referral, or be a member of a particular health organization in order to qualify for a COVID-19 test.
Ensuring users have access to the most trusted COVID-19 information is critically important. To achieve this HealthAlerts.io also provides real-time health alert bulletins from CDC, HHS, FDA, WHO, Health Canada, HealthLinkBC, and ECDC.
No personal data is required for users to access the Health Alerts COVID-19 Testing tool. To submit reviews or to claim and manage COVID-19 test locations, users have the option to create an account.
Accompanying apps for iOS and Android will be available for download in the Apple App Store and on Google Play shortly.
"In light of the COVID-19 pandemic we made the call three weeks ago to build a tool to help fight this virus (our self-imposed version of the Defence Production Act)" says Thomas Stringham, Founder & CEO of Hot Tomali and AmericanEHR. "We leveraged technology from previous projects (Pooch.pet and AmericanEHR Health Alerts) which allowed us to develop a solution really rapidly. This tool can help reduce the burden on frontline healthcare workers. This is how we flatten the curve"
Testing broadly is highly critical to be able to identify and isolate people with the COVID-19 Coronavirus. Serological tests have been developed to identify COVID-19 antibodies—this can allow people displaying immunity to return to work or reduce the social and economic lockdown restrictions that are hampering the global economy.

BALTIMORE (PRWEB) APRIL 11, 2020
RMS Omega Technologies announced today the release of a rapidly deployable mobile solution developed for patient registration, positive identification and geographical tracking of virus spread. The solution is easy to implement at mobile, drive-through, and exterior medical testing locations as well as future vaccination sites. The mobile system was developed from collaborative efforts among the company's hardware and software vendors to further support healthcare organizations in virus testing and tracking efforts amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The mobile system allows healthcare workers on the front lines to safely register and identify patients using their driver's license or government-issued ID. Within four seconds, identification is scanned from the patient's hand, at a safe distance, using a rugged and cleanable mobile device. The software even collects the face image from an ID for visible account verification. An account or patient record is instantly created before specimen collection. Healthcare technicians can record symptoms, print specimen labels using a mobile label printer, and update testing results as they are received.
Once patient data is sent to the hospital system and an account is created, all personal information is cleared from the mobile device for patient safety and security in compliance with HIPAA regulations. When data is entered into the hospital system, patient history and existing records can be reconciled. If necessary, the application can connect with all major hospital and EMR systems including EPIC, Cerner, and more.
The mobile application, CaptureMax Healthcare, also provides essential analytical data using heat maps to track testing results and virus spread using the patient's permanent address on their government-issued ID. Location access can include personalized views including local, state, or country levels to track and monitor virus spread or vaccination percentages in certain geographic locations. Only certain access levels can reach the database with secure login tiers.
"Over the past 21 years, RMS Omega continues to answer the call of healthcare organizations across the United States and Canada," says Peter Vatenos, VP of Marketing & Product Development at RMS Omega. "We are always searching for a better way to serve our healthcare partners and assist in the improvement of specimen collection and processing procedures, tracking, and data analytics for increased safety and accuracy."
RMS Omega's mobile patient identification system is available now and can be deployed immediately. For more information, please visit https://rmsomega.com/healthcare/mobile-patient-id-tracking-solution/.
About RMS Omega Technologies:
RMS Omega is a strategic technology provider for RFID, barcode, advanced data collection and location technology, wireless and mobility solutions. We partner with healthcare organizations throughout the United States and Canada to increase patient safety through vital point of care technology systems.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, RMS Omega is currently supplying labels for COVID-19 test kits, patient wristbands, and essential point of care technology to our healthcare workers on the front lines. We are supporting numerous supply chains with shipping labels, printing supplies, advanced data collection and tracking technologies to help keep the flow of goods to those who need them.

FREDERICK, MD. (PRWEB) APRIL 13, 2020
As a vast majority of companies make the rapid shift to work-from-home to stem the spread of COVID-19, a significant percentage of IT and cloud professionals are concerned about maintaining the security of their cloud environments during the transition. The findings are a part of the State of Cloud Security survey conducted by Fugue http://www.fugue.co, the company putting engineers in command of cloud security.
The survey found that 96% of cloud engineering teams are now 100% distributed and working from home in response to the crisis, with 83% having completed the transition or in the process of doing so. Of those that are making the shift, 84% are concerned about new security vulnerabilities created during the swift adoption of new access policies, networks, and devices used for managing cloud infrastructure remotely.
"What our survey reveals is that cloud misconfiguration not only remains the number one cause of data breaches in the cloud, the rapid global shift to 100% distributed teams is creating new risks for organizations and opportunities for malicious actors," said Phillip Merrick, CEO of Fugue. "Knowing your cloud infrastructure is secure at all times is already a major challenge for even the most sophisticated cloud customers, and the current crisis is compounding the problem."
84% are concerned they've already been hacked and don't know it
Because cloud misconfiguration exploits can be so difficult to detect using traditional security analysis tools, even after the fact, 84% of IT professionals are concerned that their organization has already suffered a major cloud breach that they have yet to discover (39.7% highly concerned; 44.3% somewhat concerned). 28% state that they've already suffered a critical cloud data breach that they are aware of.
In addition, 92% are worried that their organization is vulnerable to a major cloud misconfiguration-related data breach (47.3% highly concerned; 44.3% somewhat concerned). Over the next year, 33% believe cloud misconfigurations will increase and 43% believe the rate of misconfiguration will stay the same. Only 24% believe cloud misconfigurations will decrease at their organization.
Causes of cloud misconfiguration: Lack of awareness, controls, and oversight
Preventing cloud misconfiguration remains a significant challenge for cloud engineering and security teams. Every team operating on cloud has a misconfiguration problem, with 73% citing more than 10 incidents per day, 36% experiencing more than 100 per day, and 10% suffering more than 500 per day. 3% had no idea what their misconfiguration rate is.
The top causes of cloud misconfiguration cited are a lack of awareness of cloud security and policies (52%), a lack of adequate controls and oversight (49%), too many cloud APIs and interfaces to adequately govern (43%), and negligent insider behavior (32%). Only 31% of teams are using open source policy-as-code tooling to prevent misconfiguration from happening, while 39% still rely on manual reviews before deployment.
Respondents cited a number of critical misconfiguration events they've suffered, including object storage breaches (32%), unauthorized traffic to a virtual server instance (28%), unauthorized access to database services (24%), overly-broad Identity and Access Management permissions (24%), unauthorized user logins (24%), and unauthorized API calls (25%). Cloud misconfiguration was also cited as the cause of system downtime events (39%) and compliance violation events (34%).
73% still rely on manual processes to defend against automated misconfiguration threats
While malicious actors use automation tools to scan the internet to find cloud misconfigurations within minutes of their inception, most cloud teams still rely on slow, manual processes to address the problem. 73% use manual remediation once alerting or log analysis tools identify potential issues, and only 39% have put some automated remediation in place. 40% of cloud teams conduct manual audits of cloud environments to identify misconfiguration.
A reliance on manual approaches to managing cloud misconfiguration creates new problems, including human error in missing or mis-categorizing critical misconfigurations (46%) and when remediating them (45%). 43% cite difficulties in training team members to correctly identify and remediate misconfiguration, and 39% face challenges in hiring enough cloud security experts. Issues such as false positives (31%) and alert fatigue (27%) were also listed as problems teams have encountered.
The metric for measuring the effectiveness of cloud misconfiguration management is Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR), and 55% think their ideal MTTR should be under one hour, with 20% saying it should be under 15 minutes. However, 33% cited an actual MTTR of up to one day, and 15% said their MTTR is between one day and one week. 3% said their MTTR is longer than one week.
Managing cloud misconfiguration is costly
With cloud misconfiguration rates at such high levels and a widespread reliance on manual processes to manage it, the costs are predictably high for cloud customers. 49% of cloud engineering and security teams are devoting more than 50 man hours per week managing cloud misconfiguration, with 20% investing more than 100 hours on the problem.
When asked what they need to more effectively and efficiently manage cloud misconfiguration, 95% said tooling to automatically detect and remediate misconfiguration events would be valuable (72% very valuable; 23% somewhat valuable). Others cited the need for better visibility into cloud infrastructure (30%), timely notifications on dangerous changes (i.e., "drift") and misconfiguration (28%), and improved reporting to help prioritize remediation efforts (8%).
What is Cloud Misconfiguration?
Cloud security is about preventing the misconfiguration of cloud resources such as virtual servers, networks, and Identity and Access Management (IAM) services. Malicious actors exploit cloud misconfiguration to gain access to cloud environments, discover resources, and extract data. The National Security Agency states that "misconfiguration of cloud resources remains the most prevalent cloud vulnerability and can be exploited to access cloud data and services."
With the cloud, there's no perimeter that can be defended, exploits typically don't traverse traditional networks, and legacy security tools generally aren't effective. Because developers continuously build and modify their cloud infrastructure, the attack surface is highly fluid and expanding rapidly. Organizations widely recognized as cloud security leaders can fall victim to their own cloud misconfiguration mistakes.
With the Shared Responsibility Model, cloud providers such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform are responsible for the "security of the cloud," and the customer is responsible for the "security in the cloud." While cloud providers can educate and alert their customers about potentially risky misconfigurations and good security practices, they can't prevent their customers from making misconfiguration mistakes.
About this Survey
Fugue partnered with Propeller Insights to survey 300 IT, cloud, and security professionals, including DevOps engineers, cloud architects, security engineers, site reliability engineers (SREs), DevSecOps engineers, and application developers. Professionals from companies representing a variety of industries that use Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform for cloud computing were surveyed.

PolySwarm uses a proprietary threat scoring algorithm, PolyScore, to aggregate engines' insights on submitted files, and contextualizes based on historical performance and field of expertise. The single, reliable score, leads to better, more accurate file reputation and detection.
"ThreatConnect is one of those solutions that really makes an analyst's job much more streamlined," says Steve Lakowski, Chief Strategy Officer at PolySwarm. "We are really looking forward to seeing this partnership unfold, and providing ThreatConnect users the ability to consume our novel threat intel and get better file reputation."
ThreatConnect is designed by analysts and built for the entire team (security operations, threat intelligence, incident response and security leadership); ThreatConnect's intelligence-driven security operations platform is the only solution available today with intelligence, automation, analytics, and workflows in a single platform. ThreatConnect and PolySwarm together means arming organizations with a powerful defense against cyber threats.
"We are excited to add PolySwarm to the growing list of technology vendors in the ThreatConnect Developer Partner Program," says Andy Pendergast, VP of Product at ThreatConnect. "Through this partnership, ThreatConnect users will have access to valuable threat intelligence within the ThreatConnect platform to help them identify, analyze, and mitigate threats."
ThreatConnect users can inquire about using PolySwarm by contacting their partner representative. Or, PolySwarm can be reached directly at polyswarm.network.

We are really looking forward to seeing this partnership unfold & providing ThreatConnect users the ability to consume our novel threat intel & get better file reputation.

Clients utilizing the Payway platform can now get the security, reduced PCI compliance scope, and brand protection of PCI P2PE.

ATLANTA AND DANVERS, MASS. (PRWEB) APRIL 13, 2020
Bluefin, the leading provider of payment security technologies, and Payway, an integrated payment processing solution, have announced today a partnership to provide Bluefin's PCI-validated Point-to-Point Encryption (P2PE) solution to clients utilizing the Payway platform.
Payway offers a cloud-based SaaS payment solution designed to give organizations total transparency into their card-not-present transactions. They have decades of experience in managing recurring payments and providing their customers with technology designed to keep them at the forefront of a rapidly changing payments landscape.
The Bluefin/ Payway P2PE offering secures credit and debit card transactions by encrypting all data within a PCI-approved point of entry device. This prevents clear-text cardholder data from being available within the device, or in the merchant's system where exposure to malware is possible. Data decryption always occurs offsite in a Bluefin hardware security module (HSM), ensuring the highest level of security.
"While P2PE has been around for many years, only PCI Validated P2PE technologies have been tested to rigorous standards and should be trusted to reduce risk and PCI DSS scope at a merchant," said Daniel Nadeau, principal and co-owner, Payway. "With Payway's P2PE solution you can keep your customer's data safe while also reducing the cardholder data environment, which lessens the scope of PCI assessments, so you spend less time, resources and budget on audits and more on getting business done."
Bluefin enables PCI-validated P2PE on partner platforms using their Decryptx Decryption as a Service (DaaS) product, which allows gateways, ISV's, and processors to connect directly to Bluefin for the P2PE service.
"PCI-validated P2PE is a crucial payment security technology for any business or organization that processes card present credit card and debit card transactions," said Greg Cornwell, Chief Revenue Officer, Bluefin. "We are excited to bring the security, reduced PCI scope and brand protection of PCI P2PE to Payway's clients."
Benefits of the P2PE solution include reducing PCI scope from 329 to a 33-question P2PE self-assessment questionnaire (SAQ), online management of the P2PE device process with Bluefin's P2PE Manager, and a variety of P2PE certified devices.
About Bluefin
Bluefin specializes in payment and data security technologies that protect point-of-sale (POS) and online transactions. Our security suite includes PCI-validated point-to-point encryption (P2PE) for retail, call center, mobile and unattended payments, and our ShieldConex data security platform for the protection of personally Identifiable Information (PII), Personal Health Information (PHI), and payment data entered online. Bluefin is a Participating Organization (PO) of the PCI Security Standards Council (SSC) and is headquartered in Atlanta, with offices in Chicago and Waterford, Ireland. For more information, please visit http://www.bluefin.com.
About Payway
Payway provides one of the most cost-effective processing services in the industry. With over 30 years of experience, Payway is a leader in payment services for card-not-present and subscription businesses. Top U.S. publishing and media companies have relied on Payway's user-friendly payment solution and automated Level III processing to save money. Payway provides customers the most up-to-date security features and has raised the bar of encrypted payment service by validating to the PCI P2PE standard and providing customers both the means to reduce their risk as well as their PCI DSS scope. Whether you're looking to accept Apple Pay, GooglePay, process invoices, reduce decline rates, or ensure PCI-compliance, Payway will partner with you to keep your operations running smoothly.

This free online app helps those working or learning remotely to compress their PDFs, combine and merge files, convert document types, OCR text, and more

LAGUNA NIGUEL, CALIF. (PRWEB) APRIL 13, 2020
ActivePDF, the definitive leader of PDF automation technologies and digital transformation solutions, is proud to announce the launch of DocSpace Online, a free PDF tools application that anyone can use in their favorite browser, on virtually any computer, tablet, or phone.
ActivePDF is primarily known for their high-volume, automated developer PDF tools used by Fortune 1000 companies to deliver essential PDF files, such as bank statements, life insurance policies, mortgage documents, purchase receipts, contracts, and much more on a daily basis.
However, as more people are working or learning from home during the COVID-19 challenge, their need for free and flexible PDF software in the Cloud has quickly become an essential online necessity. In response to these needs, ActivePDF created a free and widely accessible online document processing application that is fast and has an easy-to-use drag-and-drop user interface (UI).
ActivePDF is helping to bridge the gaps between documents and daily communication for today's large remote workforce and educational environments – at no cost. DocSpace Online can instantly be used by anyone without the need to register an email or credit card. The design comes complete with colorful buttons, a rocket ship and flying astronauts, creating a unique, fun and productive experience for users of all ages.
"When the world was hit by the COVID-19 crisis, the ActivePDF team knew it had to get to work immediately," says Tim Sullivan, ActivePDF CEO and Chief Architect. "We took the same technologies used by the largest names in industries, such as finance, education, government, technology, and healthcare and made them available to the general public for free. Everyone at ActivePDF understands that it is our responsibility to create positive impacts on people and organizations with our PDF technologies and digital transformation solutions.
"DocSpace Online is a major piece of the puzzle when it comes to giving back to the community in a way we know best – connecting people and their documents through technology. We can't make masks, but we can democratize free software online for all those in need of a cost-free PDF document software during these uncertain times. Our goal is to make life as normal as possible through better software experiences, regardless of the challenge."
DocSpace Online Key Features include:

> Combine PDF – Merge multiple PDF files or pages together and combine them in any order according to your specifications. This is helpful when trying to put together many different files. As a helpful workflow, users can convert many different file types to PDF and then use this tool to combine them all into one file.

> Convert to PDF – Easily drag-and-drop the following file formats into any favorite internet browser, such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, or others and let the DocSpace engine do the rest: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Image, PCL, Text, Visio, and XPS.

> Convert from PDF – Quickly and easily convert PDFs to the following file formats: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Image PDF, Bitmap, JPG, TIFF, PNG, PCL, PostScript, PDF/A. This is helpful for going in and out of different file types so users are never stuck trying to get data into another document file type.

> Compress PDF – Significantly reduce PDF files sizes with a few clicks. Many PDF files are over 5MB, which can get blocked by email servers. This technology can quickly compress large PDF files as much as 95% with great quality.

> OCR PDF Text – Convert PDF or image files to searchable text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software technology. If users are stuck with scanned images or text-heavy documents, it's easy to full-text OCR that text and use it for search, extraction, and other features. Users can take a picture of text, convert to PDF, then OCR that text for a simple workflow.

> PDF Accessibility – Convert PDF files to PDF/UA to make them accessible to assistive reader technologies. This is immensely helpful for professors, teachers, and educators of all grades for their educational materials. Accessible PDFs are usually a complicated manual task, but now it's free and easy to use for all. With PDF Accessibility, the right information gets to those who have visual challenges or learning disabilities and need content converted into the right reading format so the software understands how to communicate the data on the document.

ActivePDF's suite of PDF tools is now available within DocSpace Online for free without the need of coding experience. The interactive UI is designed specifically for operating in a remote work or learning environment.

GMG is Creating "Borderless Mortgages"

SINGAPORE (PRWEB) APRIL 13, 2020
Global Mortgage Group, a leading digital global mortgage brokerage in Asia, has closed a $500,000 Angel Round of investment from SparkLabs and Mirae Asset Venture Investment in Seoul, South Korea. The new capital will be to build-out of their technology platform - LNDRhub, and grow its operations and sales teams regionally.
GMG in eights months since its start has closed over US$50 million in loans with minimal marketing and now has over 20 direct lending relationships in the U.S. and 25 in UK, Europe, Japan, Australia and Thailand, and expanding every week.
There is finally an Asian-based solution for overseas expats and foreign nationals who want a mortgage to purchase an investment home overseas. GMG's loan programs are all market-rate loans, require as little as 25% down-payment, no U.S. credit required and some of their most popular programs do not require any income verification.
GMG estimates that the foreign nationals purchased $250 billion in overseas property last year, representing anywhere between 3-5% of the overall market. By making it easy to obtain an overseas mortgage, they expect this market to be over a $1 trillion dollars a year.
Current bank options for an overseas mortgage is an extremely difficult, time-consuming and stressful and can take anywhere between 4-6 months to complete. GMG currently takes under 45 days for a U.S. mortgage and they expect this to be even faster once their technology platform is completed.

The one-of-a-kind annual WITCH Report covers financial and market performance of twelve global technology consulting and services in the healthcare segment

CHICAGO (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
Damo Consulting, a leading digital strategy consultancy for healthcare enterprises and technology firms, today announced the release of its fifth annual WITCH report. The report provides a market landscape view of the 12 major global technology consulting and services firms in healthcare and life sciences. Companies covered include Wipro, Infosys, TCS, Cognizant Technology Solutions, and HCL (WITCH), along with other industry leaders. Information covered in the WITCH Report includes financial performance, M&A activities, customer wins, partnerships, new product initiatives, and leadership announcements.
"Our analysis shows a decline in the healthcare revenue growth compared to overall company growth of the major global technology firms; however, the life sciences segment has performed better compared to the healthcare segment. Most IT consulting firms have had a limited presence in the healthcare provider segment which may represent the most significant new opportunities in the near term," said Paddy Padmanabhan, CEO of Damo Consulting and author of The Big Unlock: Harnessing Data and Growing Digital Businesses in a Value-Based Era.
He further states, "We are in the midst of an economic and social disruption caused by a global Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. All companies covered in the WITCH group will feel the impact, as discretionary projects dry up and funds are diverted immediately to Covid-19 response efforts. There will also be gainers and losers as we emerge from the crisis. Tech firms that carefully assess the market shifts and position themselves accordingly will find significant new opportunities."

Amidst the Coronavirus Pandemic, Indeflex transforms to deliver mobile and web-ready solutions to help businesses continue operating.

ST. AUGUSTINE, FL (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
Indeflex, a cutting-edge financial technology firm with offices nationwide, is adapting to the new needs of businesses amidst the Coronavirus Pandemic by partnering with smart sales teams like KORE Payments to deliver mobile and web payment solutions. "The partnership is allowing us to get creative to help merchants impacted by COVID-19." said Nick Korthals, CEO of KORE Payments. Backed by Indeflex's unique set of business management and marketing tools, partners like KORE Payments can thrive while others regroup. "Indeflex provides concierge-level service and cutting-edge technology to our sales partners nationwide, which allows them to innovate during times like this to maximize their success," said Phil Krivacek, Managing Partner at Indeflex.
As businesses worldwide face increasingly stringent social distancing policies due to the spread of COVID-19, local companies are having to adapt and move their traditional pickup and delivery options online. "Business owners have had to close, or are struggling to make takeout and curbside service work. So, for all businesses, it's more important than ever to save money," Nick Korthals said.
As part of their new strategy, KORE Payments is offering free mobile terminals and online ordering portals for their customers. "This is a huge advantage for merchants who do not want to lose a big portion of their profits from customers paying through Uber Eats or a similar service, which charges a substantial percentage of each sale. By cutting out the middle man for the business owner, they can handle their orders in-house, and they don't lose that huge chunk of the ticket price," says Nick. Phil Krivacek, the Managing Partner at Indeflex, says, "The business owner's number one assets are their cash flow and customers. By offering as many options as possible for customers to make the purchase, it allows these businesses to stay open and maintain their customer base. That could mean the difference between businesses reopening their doors or having to close after this is all over."

Vigilant Technologies has announced that it has become a certified Silver Service Partner with pioneering RPA firm Blue Prism.

TROY, MICH. (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
Michigan-based robot process automation service provider Vigilant Technologies has announced that it is entering a partnership with pioneering RPA firm Blue Prism. Vigilant is now a certified Blue Prism Silver Service Partner, indicating that they are qualified to provide clients with Blue Prism's RPA services and have passed Blue Prism's rigorous RPA training, security assessments, and quality assurance reviews.
The Silver Age
Vigilant and Blue Prism have a long history of collaboration, but this certification is a big step forward in the partnership between these two companies. The Silver certification was awarded after a 12-month assessment period, during which Blue Prism worked closely with Vigilant, monitoring their ability to provide and maintain RPA services.
Vigilant prides itself on their vast business knowledge and expertise in their field. Their reputation for building tools with extremely high ROI is a product of this knowledge.
"There's no doubt that being certified with one of the pioneering RPA providers is definitely a milestone for our company, and will allow us to provide even more value for our clients," says Vigilant RPA Chief Subbu Aradyula - Director, Oracle and RPA Practice
The progress doesn't stop here. Vigilant will continue growing their partnership with Blue Prism, through continuous iteration and improvement of their processes and capabilities with their platform. The future is looking very bright for both companies.
The Blue Prism Promise
Blue Prism invented the field of robot process automation and has continuously iterated and innovated with nearly 20 years of experience in RPA. Blue Prism's clients include major enterprises like Coca-Cola, Pfizer, Sony, and Prudential – and their heritage makes their platform a valuable product for many businesses.
Working with Blue Prism means that Vigilant will be able to leverage Blue Prism's expertise and provide quality service to their clients.
Constant Vigilance
The Blue Prism certification adds yet another notch on Vigilant Technologies' partnership and capabilities belt. The company is also an Oracle Platinum Partner and Microsoft Partner, and has extensive experience working with AWS and Google Cloud.
Vigilant has over two decades of experience in IT services and consultancy, database management and digital transformation. Recently, it has established a reputation for identifying the precise business use cases that could harness the burgeoning field of robot process automation.
A Story Of Partnerships
Vigilant has a long history of extensive partnerships with other businesses.
The company was founded in Canada as SP Technologies in 1999 by Oracle consultant Srini Pillarisetty. From the very beginning, Vigilant has always focused on developing lucrative long-term relationships with clients. In 2004, inspired by positive customer feedback regarding their diligence, SP Technologies took on a new name, Vigilant.
In 2005, Vigilant opened a new HQ in Troy, Michigan, expanding their clientele to the United States. The company would power through the 2008 recession, acquiring staffing company Elite Software Quality Services and maintaining 85 employees and 30 clients, including the largest mining company in the world.
In 2016, Vigilant acquired Unitask, a process automation tool developed for Oracle E-Business suite users. Vigilant continues to deploy Unitask to simplify tedious manual tasks in Oracle. Unitask's benefits include automated migration of changes within Oracle E-Business Suite, and an extensive output management platform that eliminates print queues with ease.
Today, the company has an impressive 250 employees around the world and continues to grow in reach and expertise. It has expanded their services to cover an entire suite of enterprise offerings, from cloud consultancy and database administration to RPA.
Constant Innovation
Vigilant's most important products are marked by a constant drive for innovation. One of their most unique solutions is SmartApp, an augmented reality product that allows logistics professionals to quickly and accurately identify items on warehouse shelves. SmartApp decreases the time it takes for workers to move products from storage to delivery and also reduces errors such as incorrect dropoff locations. The platform only takes 15 minutes to learn and supports integration with Oracle SCM and other business apps.
Vigilant also implements a custom data visualization dashboard called VBIA. The platform can be deployed within just six weeks, whether on a business's premises with Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition, or online through Oracle BI Cloud Service. VBIA highly scalable, with support for expansion and enhancement of functionality – it also supports all major database and worksheet data sources, including Excel, JD Edwards, and PeopleSoft.
With Blue Prism's support and certification, Vigilant adds yet another service to their repertoire, taking the next step in their constant journey to provide clients with quality IT services.

Vizi-AI combines plug-and-play hardware and software enabling a faster, easier and scalable starting point for machine vision AI deployments at the edge.

SAN JOSE, CALIF. (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
ADLINK Technology, a global leader in edge computing, has launched Vizi-AI with Intel providing a development starter kit (devkit) for industrial machine vision artificial intelligence (AI).
The Vizi-AI starter devkit includes an Intel Atom based SMARC computer module with Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit and ADLINK Edge software. The dekvit is now available exclusively through Arrow Electronics in the North America and EMEA regions. ADLINK previewed Vizi-AI at Embedded World in February where it was awarded 'Best in Show' for AI and machine learning by Embedded Computing Design.
Developers can easily connect Vizi-AI to different image capture devices and then deploy and improve machine learning models to harness insight from vision data to optimize operational decision-making. Vizi-AI includes a range of pre-built OpenVINO compatible machine learning models that can be used straight out of the box.
The Vizi-AI devkit includes:

Intel Atom based SMARC computer module with Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU and 40 pin connector.

Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit, which optimizes deep learning workloads across Intel architecture−including accelerators−and streamlines deployments from the edge to the cloud.

ADLINK Edge software provides enhanced functionality of OpenVINO through the ADLINK Data River which enables data to flow freely and securely.

ADLINK Edge Profile builder which provides a simple, intuitive user experience to manage devices and applications.

ADLINK Edge Model Manager which enables users to add their own models to a pre-loaded selection for easy deployment.

Vizi-AI is also supported by its own community, http://www.goto50.ai where users can find support, pre-built scenarios and other useful resources.
"At Intel, we are on a mission to enable the Industrial IoT transformation. That's why we are pleased to partner with ADLINK on the Vizi-AI devkit," said Christine Boles, VP at Intel. "The Vizi-AI devkit integrates Intel's leading technologies, coupled with ADLINK Edge software, for faster and easier machine vision AI deployments at the edge. Using an Intel Atom-based SMARC computer module with Intel Movidius Myriad X VPU, which features a dedicated hardware accelerator for deep neural network and computer vision , Vizi-AI is purpose-built for enterprise developers and data scientists. It comes with a range of pre-built machine learning models compatible with the Intel OpenVINO toolkit, for a good out-of-the-box experience. Vizi-AI can be used as a starting point to extract business value from machine vision AI at the edge; then, using the same software, scaled-up for industrial use cases on more powerful Intel processor based hardware."
"ADLINK is working closely with Intel to apply artificial intelligence to edge computing and our new Vizi-AI devkit releases the potential for developers to deploy vision-based AI applications faster and easier than ever so our industrial customers can optimize operational efficiency and drive business value," said Steve Cammish, VP Edge Solutions at ADLINK. "We have designed the Vizi-AI devkit as an integrated hardware and software solution which provides users with an ideal starting point to find business value from machine vision AI by enabling easy edge deployment of their machine learning models. This approach can then be scaled for industrial requirements using the same software but deployed on more powerful hardware as needed. This gives our customers the ultimate future-proofed flexibility, knowing at deployment time they can make their hardware solution choice, but in development they can start on our low-cost Edge AI Development kit."
ADLINK's Vizi-AI is available through Arrow Electronics: https://www.arrow.com/en/products/vizi-ai-lec-al-e3940-ai-4g-32gus/adlink-technology-inc

Company opens office in Dubai to capitalize on customer traction

RESTON, VA. (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
SyncDog Inc., the leading Independent Software Vendor (ISV) for next generation mobile security and data loss prevention, today announced an increase in their Middle Eastern presence to support advanced market demands from industries that require a more complete mobile security solution. To better serve and assist these organizations, SyncDog has opened an office in Dubai and hired a Regional Sales Manager, Geoff Brooks. The company is actively adding logos to their customer portfolio, including maptalent, a recruitment and human capital solutions group spanning the Middle East, United Kingdom and the United States.
"We are thrilled to expand SyncDog's global footprint and to play a role in advancing access to mobile security solutions beyond traditional EMM and MDM," said Brian Egenrieder, Chief Revenue Officer at SyncDog. "Organizations in the Middle East are rapidly adopting modern BYOD policies and opting out of the traditional practice of buying and managing mobile devices for their employees. Our office in Dubai will support these initiatives by providing a modern solution that is designed for mobile employees to collaborate and work securely within their enterprise ecosystem."
"Our employees spend the majority of their time working on-the-go, meeting clients and candidates. Right now, they are forced to spend time working from home. It's incredibly helpful to have a system in place whereby our employees can easily access the necessary company information and increase their ability to be productive without compromising company security," said Mark Palmer, CEO of maptalent. "Integrating Secure.Systems into our employees' devices was easier than I could have ever anticipated and has allowed me to worry less about covering the cost of supplying work phones and other overhead, and focus more on keeping our clients' data secure, our candidates engagement process secure and the process of onboarding new hires and expanding our business."
SyncDog supports enterprises in complying with data security regulations and helping businesses remain secure and compliant, which has only grown in importance in the wake of COVID-19 and newly established regulatory requirements. Through their expansion to the Middle East, SyncDog is well positioned to support organizations affected by Saudi Arabia's Cyber Security Framework, a policy requiring the containerization of all government data on all devices. SyncDog's Secure.Systems solution goes beyond traditional enterprise mobility management solutions, which are not equipped to handle the cyber threats that put data governed by privacy regulations at risk.
"By ensuring companies have easy access to deploy Secure.Systems for their mobile productivity needs, we demonstrate our commitment to advancing the mobile security market by providing stronger, more secure mobile security solutions," Brooks added. "This expansion provides SyncDog the opportunity to further accelerate the BYOD market and engage with companies that are implementing advanced mobile security solutions."
About SyncDog Inc.                                    
SyncDog is the leading ISV for building mobile frameworks that extend app functionality to devices while securing corporate and Government networks from mobile-endpoint threat. SyncDog's flagship solution, Secure.Systems, delivers a rich and unimpeded mobile experience for employees working remotely, and supports a multitude of enterprise productivity apps within a NIST-certified (FIPS 140-2 cert. #2687), workspace.

Secure.Systems is a natural complement to security and compliance auditing initiatives to satisfy the mandates of HIPAA, GDPR, PCI DSS, GLBA, FISMA, and other laws/standards for data security.

XCentium's new plugin integrates with the Facebook's graph API and uploads products from a client's Sitecore Experience Commerce catalog to the catalog in Facebook Commerce Manager, which is a set of tools that can help clients sell products, manage inventory and fulfill orders for your business across Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp.
XCentium's Facebook plugin for Sitecore Experience Commerce enables marketers to:

Create Dynamic Ads: Reach potential customers with personalized ads that are automatically created to include the products they've shown an interest in or are most likely to buy.

Drive Website Traffic: Entice more users to view products on your website or mobile app by creating an ad campaign with a traffic objective.

Shop Via Instagram: Feature your products directly on Instagram by tagging products in your posts and stories.

Shop Via Facebook: Make it convenient for prospective customers to buy your products directly on Facebook (US only), message your page with questions and purchases on Messenger or buy on your website as normal.

Sell products on WhatsApp: Use this plugin to reach millions of users around the world on the second most popular social media app.

"What could be more exciting for a marketer than advertising your products on a platform that has 1.6 billion users on it? XCentium's new plugin enables Sitecore Experience Commerce to integrate with Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp," shares Kautilya Prasad, Director of Commerce at XCentium and Sitecore Commerce MVP. "Marketers are now able to upload their catalog on Facebook Commerce Manager to run campaigns, drive traffic to their website and market to various sections of users on these trusted platforms.

Today the Interurban Transit Partnership (ITP-The Rapid) has officially joined the MITN Purchasing Group to help simplify their bid and RFP distribution process. The MITN Purchasing Group is one of BidNet's regional purchasing groups across all 50 states which offer participating local government agencies an e-procurement solution.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICH. (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
Today the Interurban Transit Partnership (ITP-The Rapid) has officially joined the MITN Purchasing Group to help simplify their bid and RFP distribution process. The MITN Purchasing Group is one of BidNet's regional purchasing groups across all 50 states which offer participating local government agencies an e-procurement solution. The ITP (The Rapid) invites all vendors to register online with the MITN Purchasing Group to access its upcoming solicitations by visiting http://www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn.
With the MITN Purchasing Group, vendors register to access one centralized location with opportunities from over 225 participating agencies throughout Michigan. By posting upcoming solicitations to the regional purchasing group, rather than their website, ITP (The Rapid) hopes to make it easier for more vendors to access their documents. They also hope to expand the reach of their solicitations to a more diverse vendor pool. Unlike the prior process of only publishing bids to a webpage, the MITN Purchasing Group provides a method to track all bid activity, including the details of vendors who have received or downloaded a bid. By providing a single, online location for managing sourcing information and activities, local Michigan government agencies minimize costs and time delays associated with the procurement process in these unprecedented times.
The ITP (The Rapid) invites all local vendors to visit http://www.bidnetdirect.com/mitn and register to receive access to its upcoming solicitations as well as the bids and RFPs from over 225 other public agencies participating on the MITN Purchasing Group. Registered vendors also gain access to a team of experienced customer service support representatives and can upgrade their service to receive customized bid alerts, advanced notice of term contract expiration, and notification of a recently posted addendum.
About ITP (The Rapid):
The Interurban Transit Partnership was formed in 2000 to operate a public transportation system they named The Rapid to provide services for the Grand Rapids metro area and beyond. It is organized and operates under Michigan Public Act 196 of 1986 with a 15-member board of directors representing the six municipalities in the service area. The six cities in the Grand Raids metro area opted to partner with each other to support The Rapid, and The Rapid, in turn, promised to provide a return on that investment by delivering service as effectively and efficiently as possible.
Beyond its fixed routes, The Rapid also operates demand response services for people with disabilities, and for those living outside the fixed-route service area, car and vanpooling programs.
PEER SYSTEM COMPARISON
As part of the 2030 Transit Master Plan, an independent project team was asked to evaluate The Rapid's performance relative to 10 peer systems, which were selected based on system size and regional demographic characteristics such as urban area population and physical size, annual vehicle revenue hours, and annual unlinked passenger trips. The selected peer systems were:

Akron, Ohio: Metro Regional Transit Authority (Metro)

Ann Arbor, Michigan: Ann Arbor Transportation Authority (AATA)

Dayton, Ohio: Greater Dayton Regional Transit Authority (GDRTA)

Flint, Michigan: Mass Transportation Authority (MTA)

Lansing, Michigan: Capital Area Transportation Authority (CATA)

Louisville, Kentucky: Transit Authority of River City (TARC)

Madison, Wisconsin: Metro Transit System (Metro)

Nashville, Tennessee: Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA)

Rochester, New York: Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (R-GRTA)

Toledo, Ohio: Toledo Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA)

All data is referenced from the National Transit Database (NTD) administered by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). This data is independently audited and verified. Visit the National Transit Database site for more information.
About the MITN Purchasing Group:
The MITN Purchasing Group is a part of BidNet's regional purchasing groups available at no cost to local government agencies throughout the country. With years of input from procurement professionals, BidNet specifically developed the bid system to fill the need for a robust bid and supplier management solution for local government agencies. BidNet runs regional purchasing groups across all 50 states that are used by over 1,300 local governments.

MONTREAL (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
The SRT Alliance, established by Haivision to support the SRT Open Source project, announces that Tata Communications, Panasonic, Edgeware, and DVSport have joined the SRT Alliance to show their support of the cross industry adoption of the SRT Open Source protocol. Over 50 industry-leading organizations have turned to SRT and joined the SRT Alliance within the last four months, bringing the total number of members to more than 350 companies.
SRT (Secure Reliable Transport), originally developed and open sourced by Haivision, is an open source video streaming protocol which enables remote and cloud-based high-performance video workflows. SRT is helping solution providers to solve today's challenges including newsgathering, remote production and the broadcaster's at-home workforce.
"SRT has emerged as a great protocol for getting live video from sporting event locations to our core network," said Jeremy Dujardin, CTO of Global Media and entertainment Services at Tata Communications. "We support thousands of events per year globally and have proven our SRT workflows across a number of vendor products for video contribution. These feeds are used for both direct to air and remote production."
"DVSport relies on SRT every day to fuel our live replay systems for NCAA sports. SRT has enabled us to reduce our costs and expand our services by taking advantage of readily accessible low-cost business networks for flawless live video transport," said Brian Lowe, CEO of DVSport.
"As internet and the cloud are becoming increasingly important, not only for distribution of TV but also for the very creation of the content including channel origination and new interactive entertainment formats, there is a growing demand for reliable and effective means to get the content from the cameras and production sites up to the cloud in a robust and low delay fashion. SRT offers a good foundation as a protocol to build on, and the growing adoption in the industry caters for an eco-system where broadcasters and streaming service providers can select interoperable best of breed products," said Johan Bolin, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Edgeware.
SRT optimizes streaming performance across unpredictable networks with low latency secure streams. SRT, royalty free and available on GitHub, is the fastest growing open source video streaming movement.

Belgian nightwear brand transforms the concept to retail experience

CAMPBELL, CALIF. (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
The market leader for nightwear, underwear and children's pajamas in Belgium has chosen Centric PLM as a long-term solution to empower its teams with greater visibility and bring great products to market faster. Centric Software provides the most innovative enterprise solutions to fashion, retail, footwear, outdoor, luxury, consumer goods and home décor companies to achieve strategic and operational digital transformation goals.
The Woody Group has more than a quarter of a century's experience in the design, manufacture and distribution of high-quality nightwear, bodywear, swimwear and loungewear for babies, kids and adults through three separate brands: Woody, Lords&Lilies and Manned. Designed in Belgium and manufactured in The Woody Group's own 7000m² plant in Turkey, the brands are primarily sold through more than 350 points of sale in Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, as well as the company's own online store.
Mehmet Batur, the owner of Woody Group, says the proliferation of different software packages at The Woody Group was hampering internal communications.
"The opportunity to use one common platform is transformational in terms of reliability and flexibility, from concept to retail. Even though we're geographically dispersed with teams in Ghent (Belgium) and Istanbul (Turkey), being able to see every step of the design process in one place really facilitates collaboration."
The Woody Group plans to expand their business by increasing both its number of SKUs and shops. In order to keep up with the accelerated growth, teams need a strong foundation of standardized processes within a digital platform and access to consistent data in real time. Centric Retail PLM will accelerate collaboration and make idea-sharing more efficient between the globally scattered teams.
One of the ways The Woody Group will streamline their processes is by integrating Centric PLM with both of their existing ERP systems (one in Turkey and the other in Belgium), enabling teams to feed the ERPs with accurate BOM data generated within the PLM platform, giving teams maximum visibility. They'll track product development by brand, greatly improving efficiency while responding to market demands faster.
Batur, who was the long-term manufacturer for The Woody Group before acquiring the company three years ago, comments on Centric's position as the PLM market leader. "We explored other companies, but Centric's references from other innovative, globally renowned companies are compelling." Batur was also impressed by Centric PLM's configurability and ease of use, "We want elasticity and flexibility for complicated processes and Centric convinced us how the project is going to be revolutionary for how we do business."
"We're honored that The Woody Group has chosen Centric Software as their long-term PLM partner," says Chris Groves, President and CEO of Centric Software. "I am confident that our market-leading PLM solution and expertise in the industry will help fuel growth for the nightwear brand and am looking forward to their successful future."

The Woody Group (thewoodygroup.com)
The Woody Group, the company behind Woody, was formed in 1993 by Ghent-born Michel Van de Velde. The former computer scientist was unable to find high-grade playful nightwear for his daughter. Seeing a gap in the market, he decided to launch his own collection. As a fan of British illustrator Woody Fox, Michel asked him to design the prints. His name was also the inspiration for the "Woody" brand name. The illustrations that Woody Fox made for JellyCoe – crazy animals in glow-in-the-dark prints – were an instant hit. For the design of the nightwear, Michel Van de Velde contacted a young designer from the Antwerp fashion academy alongside experienced patternmakers.
The continued success of Woody 25 years later is primarily due to its legendary quality. The Turkish family firm Bella Tekstill has been Woody's regular manufacturing partner for more than 20 years. When the brand's founder decided to take more of a back seat in 2017, he identified Bella Tekstill's co-owner Mehmet Batur as the ideal person to take over the firm. In 2017 Mehmet Batur acquired all the shares of JellyCoe, whose name was changed to The Woody Group. After the departure of the previous management, a managing director was needed to run the Belgian team in Ghent, where The Woody Group continues to be based. Mehmet Batur found the right person in Steven Van de Velde.

Company is one of 14 providers recognized for managed mobility services in the global market

PHOENIX AND ROCHESTER, N.Y. (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
Gartner has positioned Calero in its April 2020 Magic Quadrant for Managed Mobility Services, Global. Vendors included in the report have at least 1.15 million smart mobile devices under management and support at least 25% of their installed base outside their home region by the end of October 2019. A complimentary copy of the report is available for download here.
After the close of the evaluation period for this research, the private equity (PE) firms backing Calero and TEM-provider MDSL announced plans to merge the two. The PE firms will provide additional investments into the recapitalized company, known in the interim as Calero-MDSL, and will continue operating from current facilities globally.
"We believe our inclusion in this research validates our focus on providing clients with a fully-comprehensive managed mobility solution that can scale support across the globe," said Charles Layne, Chief Executive Officer of Calero-MDSL. "We've worked diligently over the past twelve months to increase the breadth of our mobile solution offering. We believe our inclusion in this research supports our relentless pursuit to provide the best client experience with a focus on visibility, innovation, automation and simplicity."
According to Gartner, "Managed mobility services (MMSs) comprise the vendor-provided IT and business process services required to plan, procure, provision, activate, manage, secure and support mobile devices, mobile network services, related mobile management systems and mobile applications. Gartner's coverage of MMSs focuses on a provider's assumption of day-to-day IT management administration and support routines for mobile devices. MMSs also include business process services (such as expense management, asset management and logistics, including forward and return logistics and recycling, ordering and provisioning) as well as help desk services."
"Enterprises of all sizes and public organizations increasingly recognize the opportunity in transitioning the operations and administration of an increasingly complex mobile estate to third-party service providers," stated Katja Ruud, Leif-Olof Wallin, Bill Menezes, co-authors and analysts at Gartner.
The Calero-MDSL solution combines the disciplines of managed mobility services and expense management into a single software platform – procurement, device logistics, expense and asset management, UEM integration and help desk. The open platform integrates with ITSM, HRIS, and other financial management solutions to automate manual processes in managing an enterprise mobility environment.
"Over the past year, we've invested heavily in our mobility solution, our people, and our global operational capabilities," said David Bliss, EVP, Product Management of Calero-MDSL. "Since then we've been able to successfully deliver a newly enhanced mobility portal that leverages a best-in-class user experience and self-service capabilities to streamline the procurement process, along with new dashboards that provide insight into order status and usage history."

SecureData's hardware encrypted storage devices help remote workers keep their data secure.

LOS ANGELES (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has caused many states and countries to issue shelter-in-place and Work From Home (WFH) orders to keep people at home to stop the spread of the virus. To help meet the ever-increasing demands for data security while working from home, SecureData is offering a spectrum of proven data protection solutions. These include award-winning, hardware-encrypted storage devices and portable software applications providing automatic anti-virus protection and automatic cloud backup for external portable data storage drives.
Analysts report that 4.7 million people work from home now (Flexjobs. Remote Workers. 2020) and expect that this trend will continue after the pandemic has passed. While analysts, workers, and companies report growth in productivity and job satisfaction, many organizations are concerned with making the WFH environment secure to protect private and corporate data from being exploited by hackers, which causes big problems – both in cost and public exposure.
Mike Vanoverbeke, Senior Product Specialist for SECUREDATA said, "Our hardware encrypted storage devices include anti-virus protection with DriveSecurity. Additionally, we offer easy-to-use USBtoCloud backup software to help people adapt to their new WFH settings by having their data backed up both on a secure external drive and in the cloud. We want data to be one thing remote workers don't have to worry about."
SECUREDATA's SecureDrive and SecureUSB products are FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Validated hardware encrypted storage devices that are well-suited for personal and business use. They are OS/Host independent to work across any system a remote worker may be using from a desktop or laptop, to printers, scanners, or any other device with a USB port.
All of SecureData's encrypted drives have features such as inactivity auto-lock and brute force anti-hacking technology, which clears the drive after 10 consecutive failed PIN entries. The KP models of the devices are unlocked by entering a PIN via the built-in keypad. The BT models are unlocked using secure wireless authentication via smartphone/mobile app (using biometric inputs on their phone or multilingual complex passwords). Additionally, BT devices come remote management ready with features like remote wipe, remote unlock, time- and geo-fencing to help IT Administrators to manage drive access anywhere and anytime around the globe.

Protectmyplans.com Warns of a Wake Up Call to Prepare Online Accounts and Apps

BOSTON (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
The global health crisis has moved estate planning from 'someday' to "right now." COVID-19 has also led to an unprecedented number of people moving more and more of their lives into the digital world. That translates to more online accounts, also known as digital assets, being left dangerously unprotected.
What happens to the family photos and videos when the account holder dies? Or how do those left behind, responsible for handling their affairs, know how to locate online investments, bank accounts or even prevent family share accounts from being shut down? What is the plan for paying bills, keeping cell phone services active, managing family email accounts when the account holder dies without a plan to protect online accounts (aka digital assets)? The surviving partner and loved ones will have to untangle up to 200 or more accounts to locate important memories, preserve income streams, prevent utilities from being cut-off and communicate with friends and colleagues. All this, while watching the clock to prevent online subscriptions such as domain names from expiring. Unlike physical assets, digital property, is complex and can easily be lost, hidden and inaccessible due to strict privacy laws and policies.
"We're finding our clients have a false sense of security, thinking they can just document a username and password for a site," states Scott Williams of Williams Allen Casey, an Independence, Ohio law firm. "I'm a very busy trying to put estate plans together for some ER Docs right now which is really challenging since I cannot meet with them in person."
Here are some recommendations for individuals who are now taking a serious look at their estate plans to ensure that their digital assets are protected:
1 – Make a list of every single online account and app that you use. Be sure it contains the username, email or phone number associated with the account along with a designated person to receive the content such as pictures, videos, email, etc...
2 – Visit each site and app to learn about their policies on accounts and privacy in the event of death. Some platforms will simply turn off the account and delete all information if there is no activity within a certain time frame. If there are emails or online files that have some sentimental or financial value, this could present a problem. Others may offer a means to give permission to another person for managing the account and data. This is now offered by Facebook and to a limited extent, Google.
3 – Review the website and apps privacy policies to learn about their security rules. Most prohibit password sharing, aka "Account Impersonation." They've implemented several measures to prevent fraudulent access where failed attempts to log in without the proper credentials or incorrect two-factor authentication responses can lock the estate forever.
4 – Don't neglect online games or sports betting accounts with virtual collectibles (avatar), cryptocurrency or other financial valued property. If these assets are not known to the estate, their value can simply evaporate, never to be recovered and omitted from the settlement.
5 – If there are adult entertainment subscriptions in the portfolio, they need to be addressed to prevent emotional embarrassment. "Non-family friendly" digital assets might reappear after death. Those may be either closed down or a directive giving someone the ability to shut them down needs to be put into place.
"Too often, we hear stories of families who have attempted to use passwords to access accounts without success," says Lee Poskanzer, CEO of Protectmyplans.com. "It can create a false sense of confidence. Site and app owners have created privacy policies and security methods to prevent the accessing and sharing of an account's data. Without proper planning for digital assets, the things that are important to us may disappear or, worse, become permanently inaccessible."
Many digital assets can be managed through an estate preparation online tool, but users need to be cautious when using a digital platform that gathers passwords along with usernames for use after death. Password sharing is illegal under state and federal law, and many of these platforms will lock out families and shut down accounts if there is no directive in place. Even plans through an advisor may be ill-prepared for handling a client's digital property.

C4 Media, a New York City based media company, documented and released a video that captures the desolate New York City streets, while residents do their best to avoid becoming the next victim of the Covid19 Pandemic. Currently NYC Residents have been enduring a quarantine strategy in hopes to prevent themselves from contracting the Coronavirus, mainly because approximately 82,000 people have died from the virus throughout the world and numbers are still rising according to http://www.jhu.edu. Project Manager William Watson states, "In the current social climate it is important to remind people of optimism, inspiration and relatability, and that's what our video production is all about".

NEW YORK (PRWEB) APRIL 14, 2020
Quarantine has drastically changed the upbeat atmosphere New Yorkers are familiar with into a calamity and pedestrian environment. In the beginning of March popular New York City locations such as the Financial District and Times Square were buzzing with shoppers, tourists and commuters rushing from one point of the city to the next. By the middle of March the majority of people employed with jobs located within the city found themselves reading memos from their employers to continue their work obligations from home. The suggestion to stay home in order to avoid contracting the Coronavirus derived from elected officials days before it was mandated that non essential businesses remain closed until further notice. A strategy that has resulted in desolate streets, as well as worrisome New York City residents.
NYC residents have come together to support each other during abrupt lifestyle adjustments, and to provide support for essential workers. Although the Coronavirus has led to roughly 82,000 deaths, nyc residents have been engaging in various fitness, as well as work related activities within their homes to help assist all the professionals fighting on the front lines to flatten the curve of Covid19. While most New Yorkers are concerned about their unknown futures, growing restless from remaining inside their homes and anxious about the daunting task of surviving Covid19. They somehow remain optimistic and supportive because they understand that they're not alone. "We're all neighbors, more so now than ever before because quarantine makes us all relatable", says Connie. A Lifelong New Yorker and Essential worker.
C4 Media's "The Rona Effect" Video captures the current climate of New York City while also inspiring New Yorkers to continue moving forward. That is detailed in the last scene as Photographer Steve Low continues to walk on through the night. The video serves as a lens to the current reality for New Yorkers, in addition to the ability nyc residents share to unite and support each other through dark times.
C4 Media is a small New York City Based Media company that tells authentic stories without sacrifice or distortion in any capacity. Founded June 26, 2019 with a current staff of 13 employees. C4 currently has a production, "Friendly Face-off" that tells the stories of local fighters, coaches and professionals that contribute to combat sports. They are in production of a home baking show and a woman's docuseries as well. You will find an extended version of "The Rona Effect" on their website.

Cyber Chasse is moving the agriculture industry forward with a system based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and Splunk. This system enables farmers to take advantage of sensors and data analytics to determine the moisture content of the soil.

TAMPA, FLA. (PRWEB) APRIL 15, 2020
We all know the fact that agriculture plays a vital role in the economy. To meet the ever-increasing need of food, the traditional methods must be updated with the latest technologies and tools. 
Cyber Chasse introduced FARMlytics, a soil moisture sensor that ingests data into Splunk, in India. This device allows farmers to monitor the field conditions from anywhere by analyzing the data on the Splunk dashboard. 
The manual methods of data collection can be replaced by advanced techniques of data collection using sensors. As the concept of IoT became popular, companies are applying various information communication technologies (ICT) and big data technologies to increase the efficiency of cultivation. 
Anil Kumar, Director of Cyber Chasse said – "we can apply low-cost IoT systems and cloud computing to determine the moisture content of soil and control the facilities. In addition to these, the technique to analyze the collected data can greatly improve the efficiency of cultivation". 
It is estimated that poor water availability and increase in global temperature correlates to a 15%-20% drop in overall crop production. The solution to this problem lies in useful data analytics. This compelled the team of Cyber Chasse to build a device that reshapes the way the challenges involved in farming are addressed. 
"We are in a critical stage of agriculture, where there is a significant change in the climate condition. IoT technology can give farmers the ability to leverage data and improve their operation. This is what FARMlytics is about" says Ashish Yadav, Chief Technlogy Officer of Cyber Chasse. 
Anil added, "We have a better approach of determining soil moisture than looking at the thermometer, barometers, and hygrographs. Currently, we are working with Ridge Farmhouse Pvt. Ltd., an India-based agriculture company, to deploy the FARMlytics system on 36 acres of land for productive farming". 
IoT has come up as a second wave in the field of agriculture and is helping farmers increase yields by making better decisions using accurate data. It has brought huge benefits like - monitoring field in real-time, efficient use of water, optimization of resources and more. With seamless end-to-end operations, produce is likely to get processed faster than before. 
About Cyber Chasse
Cyber Chasse is a leading IT consulting firm in the USA specialized in providing cybersecurity solutions using Splunk, IoT, DevOps, Cloud Solutions and Managed Security. We have huge experience working for Fortune 500 companies in the USA and provide innovative solutions for cloud environments.

New digital badging offers high school students career development opportunities, verification capabilities, resume building and more

HARRISBURG, PA. (PRWEB) APRIL 15, 2020
Reach Cyber Charter School, a Pennsylvania statewide online public charter school, is making career development a top priority and is preparing students for the future by partnering with Credly. Credly, the digital credential leader, offers a digital badging platform that recognizes knowledge, skills, and achievements as digital credentials that enables individuals to capture future opportunities, whether it be schooling or joining the workforce.
Through this digital platform, Reach Cyber students will have the opportunity to build a digital portfolio of their experiences and certifications by earning badges in six pathways: Arts and Communications, Business Administration, STEM, Health Science, Human Services, and Information Technology. Digital badging will begin during the 2020-21 school year and will give students the opportunity to earn industry-recognized credentials through the completion of select courses such as Microsoft Office Specialist, Microsoft Technology Associate, Microsoft Programming with Java, Microsoft Programming with Python, and Microsoft Programming using HTML and CSS. Additional course offerings such as Communication Skills for Business, Entrepreneurship and Small Business, and more will allow students to earn certifications and gain practical skills to increase their employability.
"We want to help close the skills gap in Pennsylvania," said JD Smith, Director of Career Pathways at Reach Cyber Charter School. "We are not only educating our students in the traditional sense, but also giving them the ability to develop real-world skills and earn industry recognized credentials that prepare them to enter the workforce. For example, students who complete the Business Administration pathway have earned three badges, completed relevant courses and are knowledgeable on the topics of fundamental business concepts. They can create business plans, evaluate elements of effective communication and much more."
Reach Cyber is integrating digital badging through Credly's Acclaim platform into its high school career pathways development program. The program already allows students to gain in-person professional trade experience with local partner businesses. Credly's Acclaim platform is the world's largest network of individuals and organizations using verified achievements to unlock opportunities.
"We are dedicated to equipping our students with the tools they need to achieve professional success," said Jane Swan, CEO of Reach Cyber Charter School. "That's why we have partnered with Credly. It can be difficult to articulate your skills in a series of bullet points on a resume. This new service will provide students with a web-enabled, verifiable version of industry certifications, which will help them enhance their resumes, digital portfolios, and LinkedIn pages."
The goal of Reach Cyber's new digital badging program is to prepare students to reach professional status prior to graduation, allowing them to begin their professional careers earlier than some of their brick-and-mortar counterparts. This skill-based training will also allow students to find their passion and hone in on skills and interests as they look to join the workforce.
"We are seeing companies across a variety of industries turn to skills-based hiring as a way to more readily identify and connect with qualified candidates," said Jonathan Finkelstein, CEO of Credly. "Reach Cyber Charter School is providing an invaluable tool in the form of a verified record of their students' knowledge and skills. These early digital credentials will serve Reach Cyber students over the course of their burgeoning careers."
Serving students virtually across the state of Pennsylvania, Reach Cyber Charter School delivers an award-winning curriculum with STEM enrichment opportunities, engaging electives, technology tools, and online and in-person social experiences for families who want an individualized approach to education. Reach Cyber's flexible pacing options allow students to choose from a traditional calendar option, year-round option, or for high school students, an accelerated schedule, to best meet their academic and scheduling needs.
Reach Cyber is currently enrolling for the 2020-21 school year. Families interested in Reach Cyber Charter School are highly encouraged to attend an upcoming online information session. These information sessions give families the opportunity to speak with current teachers and staff, learn more about the school's curriculum and program, and help them find out if a cyber school is the right fit for their student.

Integration enables a no-code approach to creating age range, gender, head pose, dwell time, and emotion-driven content for interactive digital signage.

CHICAGO AND TOULOUSE, FRANCE (PRWEB) APRIL 15, 2020
Intuiface is excited to announce native support for the Intel Distribution of the OpenVINO toolkit (OpenVINO toolkit), enabling creative teams to incorporate computer vision in their on-premises digital experiences without having to write a single line of code. With virtually no setup and with any camera, Intuiface experiences on a Windows PC can now capture age, gender, emotion, and head pose for one or more individuals in real-time, and use the resulting data feed to dynamically select, display – and record for analytics – digital content tailored for predefined demographic and emotional combinations. The result is deeply personalized content delivered on-demand for any audience.
The world of digital signage is evolving from impersonal, schedule-driven media to the delivery of highly customized content tailored for the individual. In the world of retail, for example, shoppers have grown accustomed to the use of websites and mobile apps to personalize the process of shopping, learning, and finding inspiration. True completion of the customer journey requires in-store kiosks to meet and exceed the same level of personalization. Sensors at the edge – customer-facing devices tasked with detecting information and events nearby, like speech, movement, demographics, and more – are key to making on-premise personalization possible. Next generation digital signage is characterized in part by its ability to integrate with and orchestrate these sensors.
Intuiface, already equipped with out-of-the-box support for a wide variety of sensors and interactive options, now works with the OpenVINO toolkit to add computer vision capabilities. The installation of the OpenVINO toolkit has been simplified to one-step. Once running, the OpenVINO toolkit sends a real-time stream of information to Intuiface Player on the same or a different PC. This includes information about the number of people facing the camera and the age, gender, emotion, and head pose of each individual. Without any coding, Intuiface experiences can be configured to perform actions based on the information captured by the OpenVINO toolkit. For example, displaying one advertisement for a young female viewer while displaying a separate advertisement for an older male viewer. Or enabling content navigation and manipulation through the use of head movement.
"With the help of Intel, computer vision is no longer an insurmountable hurdle for teams lacking the skills, budget, or time to adopt commercial computer vision solutions," says Vincent Encontre, Intuiface's COO. "Our customers will be amazed at how quickly and easily Intuiface's new OpenVINO toolkit integration will enable them to create interactive content driven by the unique characteristics of each user."
This is the first distribution of OpenVINO toolkit-based computer vision made available to creative agencies, integrators, and similar internal corporate teams who wish to create demographic and emotion-driven digital content but don't have the skills, time, or budget to write complex custom code. With the Intuiface integration, everything works out of the box, simple enough for even the most non-technical teams. And all data - from computer vision information to on-screen selections made by users - can be stored online and visualized using Intuiface Analytics to identify trends and generate insight about the target audience and how their preferences align with their characteristics.
The OpenVINO toolkit is optimized for use on Intel-based Windows PCs, resulting in rapid response time and reduced resource consumption. And because it is a free addition to Intuiface, experience creators can adopt computer vision without concerns about budget or delay.
For a free evaluation of Intuiface and its new OpenVINO toolkit-powered computer vision capability, visit our website intuiface.com or email us at sales@intuiface.com.

AI Gateway "no code" Inspection plug-In significantly reduces development and deployment efforts for advanced classification, segmentation, and detection capabilities

OTTAWA, ONTARIO (PRWEB) APRIL 15, 2020
Pleora Technologies and Neurocle today announced a technology partnership that simplifies the deployment of deep learning-based classification, segmentation, and object detection capabilities for visual inspection applications. Lead customers are evaluating the AI Gateway and Inspection plug-in developed with Neurocle to reduce errors, false-positives, and secondary screenings in packaging, pharmaceutical, and finished goods analysis applications.
"Pleora's AI Gateway and plug-in skills help organizations quickly realize the business benefits of machine learning, without costly, time-consuming algorithm development or replacing existing infrastructure," said Jonathan Hou, Chief Technology Officer, Pleora Technologies. "Working with partners including Neurocle, we're delivering a unique evolutionary approach to AI that enables quick deployment and continuous training to improve results and lower costs of visual inspection and quality control."
With the Pleora AI Gateway and Inspection plug-In, end-users and integrators can deploy machine learning visual inspection capabilities without any additional programming. Images and data are simply uploaded to Neurocle's Neuro-T, deep learning vision software which supports a unique "Auto Deep Learning" technology with predefined parameters optimized for the NVIDIA GPU in Pleora's AI Gateway. With Pleora's "no code" approach, AI models are transferred and deployed on the AI Gateway for production environments. In comparison to this plug and play approach, traditional AI algorithm development requires multiple time-consuming steps and dedicated coding to input images, label defects, fine-tune training, and optimize models.
The AI Gateway handles image acquisition from any vision standard-compliant image source and sends out the processed data over GigE Vision to inspection and analysis platforms. This means end-users can avoid vendor lock-in while maintaining infrastructure, processes, and analysis software.
In a quality inspection application, for example, the AI Gateway intercepts the camera image feed and applies the selected Inspection plug-in skills. The gateway then sends the AI processed data to the inspection application, which seamlessly receives the video as if it were still connected directly to the camera. Similarly, the AI Gateway can process imaging data with loaded plug-in skills in parallel to traditional processing tools. If a defect is detected, processed video from the AI Gateway can confirm or reject results as a secondary inspection.
"Neuro-T is a user-friendly approach that enables deep learning for visual inspection with just a few clicks," said Hongsuk Lee, Chief Executive Officer, Neurocle. "Developing a plug-in solution for the Pleora AI Gateway, we're making inspection systems plug and play, enabling automation for manual quality control checks and improving performance of existing systems with deep learning technology."
Pleora's AI Gateway provides additional plug-in AI skills for hyperspectral imaging, with the processing flexibility of an NVIDIA GPU to deploy open source or custom algorithms developed in popular frameworks like TensorFlow and OpenCV.
