Following the infrared Thermal temperature screening WxS x800-IRTM and the IRTMPad for conditional facility access control, the 3rd product series is now available for fast and volume temperature screening to re-open the economy

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. (PRWEB) APRIL 27, 2020
Polysense Technologies Inc., (Polysense) an innovation leader in IoT solutions for wireless sensing, today announced , a thermal imaging and image recognition based product series for businesses and public agencies to quickly and efficiently screen the temperature of high volume public traffic.
"Temperature is the leading and basic indicator of a person's health condition." said Alex Wu, President of Polysense. "as many countries are in the process of re-opening the economy, to avoid the possible 2nd wave of pandemic, temperature screening of public traffic is now required at businesses, public transit (airport, subways), distribution centers, grocery stores, restaurants, hospitals, schools, senior care centers and even at residential complexes. "
Common deployment scenarios:
1)WxS IRTM is most ideal for businesses and places where people (employees or visitors or customers) typically enter the facility one by one, in a linear line. Each person stands in front of the IRTM screening unit (non contact) for 1 or 2 seconds to get temperature reading - alert is sounded if fever is detected
2)WxS IRTMPad is suitable for facility access control based on the temperature reading. If the person has normal reading, access is allowed; otherwise, is denied. The output of the IRTMPad can be easily connected to existing key card building access system via interface such as Wiegand, TTL, RS232.
3)The thermal imaging product, announced here, is for installations where public traffic volume is high, moving rapidly and perhaps in non-linear format. This is common in shopping malls, large commercial buildings, banks, airports, subways, hospitals, schools, grocery stores, or restaurants.

Exclusive HR research from HR.com's Research Institute. The study, The State of Employer Branding and Recruitment Advertising 2020, was conducted to examine how to build a compelling employer brand to help attract and retain the best possible talent to drive business.

JACKSONS POINT, ONTARIO (PRWEB) APRIL 27, 2020
Only 37% of human resource (HR) professionals reveal that their organizations have a well-known and intentionally cultivated employer brand, and those without a strong brand could be harming business without realizing it. In this time of global crisis, it may be concerning to hear that more than one in four HR professionals actually believe their organization's efforts to reflect social responsibility in their employer brand are dismal or below average.
The free research report, The State of Employer Branding and Recruitment Advertising 2020, is now available for download. HR.com's Research Institute conducted the study of HR professionals to better understand the state of employer brand today in business and how to build a compelling brand to help attract and retain the best possible talent.
The study defines employer brand as the brand that an organization communicates as its identity to current and, especially, potential employees. Recruitment advertising is the process by which organizations market and advertise job openings.
HR departments may have their work cut out for them as 30% believe that the HR team as a whole has responsibility for the employer brand, while 28% say the marketing team as a whole does. But the most widely selected way of managing the employer brand is through a joint team made up of both HR and marketing professionals, who benefit by joining their areas of expertise.
"We're realizing now that organizations must take particular care to safeguard their brands in stressful and unpredictable times. After all, serious missteps with this may long be remembered after a period of crisis," stated Debbie McGrath, Chief Instigator and CEO of HR.com. "So, it is worrisome that even before the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies were struggling to cultivate an excellent employer brand."

Softomotive partners around the world recognizing the benefits of the ancoraDocs platform to add document handling at the beginning of the RPA process.

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) APRIL 27, 2020
ancora Software is very happy to announce that our new partnership with Softomotive, a world leader in Robotic Process Automation, is off to a quick start with the signing of four Softomotive partners to resell ancora's industry leading Business Process Automation solutions including Intelligent Document Classification and Advanced Data Capture.
As of today, ancora has signed two Softomotive partners in Europe and two in the US. The message we are hearing from these partners is that ancoraDocs is a simpler solution then other products they have looked at but can still be deployed in an enterprise application. RPA has gained wide adoption because organizations have realized the importance of automating manual, repetitive back office processes. Our new Softomotive partners recognize the need for document handling to be at the front of the automation, at the point of the user touch but these steps are often overlooked. OCR and RPA can provide the required automation within these processes. In these uncertain times of the Covid-19 pandemic it becomes even more important to provide automation as more and more companies are relying on their employees to work from home. The simplified deployment of ancoraDocs with the use of machine learning helps facilitate this where competitive products do not, taking the human touch points out of the implementation.
Softomotive is one of the leading worldwide providers of Robotic Process Automation solutions, trusted by more than 8,000 companies worldwide.
Softomotive recognizes that when it comes to automation one size does not fit all. They are the only provider of process automation technology to offer a portfolio of solutions designed to meet the diverse needs of individuals, small teams, growth companies, and large enterprises. Both attended and unattended process automation solutions, which share the same underlying automation engine for a seamless transition, are delivered through powerful, robust RPA technology. These range from a standalone desktop solution to a server-based, distributed Enterprise RPA platform, both of which are quick to deploy and provide the best value for money.
"It's great that our new relationship with Softomotive is off to a fast start," said Nick Bova, VP of Sales at ancora. "These Softomotive partners recognize the value we bring to their overall solutions with document classification and data extraction."
ancoraDocs is available either on premise or as a true multi-tenant cloud service hosted by ancora on Microsoft Azure. It can also be deployed as a hybrid solution, utilizing zero footprint browser-based clients. "ancoraDocs is designed to bring simplicity to a market where applications have historically been complex and overpriced, as well as difficult to configure, install, use, and maintain," said Noel Flynn, CEO at ancora Software. "It can be deployed in a matter of hours or days, not the weeks or months you often see with traditional capture. This helps users start realizing their benefits sooner and produces a faster time to ROI. In addition, it opens the market to SMB organizations, which have historically not been able to take advantage of automated document capture due to the significant costs of getting started."

Capability unlocks the personalization company's robust engagement data, making it available for use in any enterprise system

NEW YORK (PRWEB) APRIL 27, 2020
Dynamic Yield, the AI-Powered Personalization Anywhere platform, today announced the release of its Audience Export Manager – a new feature allowing companies to utilize the rich customer data captured by Dynamic Yield across enterprise systems like email service providers (ESPs), ad networks, call center solutions, and more.
Positioned at the last mile of the customer experience, Dynamic Yield collects and analyzes huge amounts of user data, combining CRM, on-site behavior, purchase history, product preferences, and more to build one powerful dataset from which to deliver on-site personalization. With the company's new Audience Export Manager, all of this data can now be easily accessed in other marketing execution systems, which has substantial applications for enterprises.
Examples of how Audience Export Manager can be used include:

Improve marketing efficiency and acquisition ROI on ad platforms by creating hyper-targeted campaigns based on user affinity, loyalty tier, CRM attributes, historical offline purchase behavior, and more.

Expand campaign reach on Google and Facebook by creating lookalikes based on Dynamic Yield's robust customer profiles.

Target Dynamic Yield's audience segments within an ESP to deliver the most relevant content, promotions, or recommendations for each recipient.

Augment first-party platforms (CRM, BI, etc.) with rich customer information such as on-site behavior, probability to purchase, affinity, third-party data, and more. Enhanced site visitor details can be used for targeting on outside platforms and to perform data analyses for better customer insights.

"Accurate audience data has become increasingly important lately as advertising platforms like Google and Facebook can generate lookalike audiences for more targeted top-of-funnel marketing activities. And within the inbox, customers expect email campaigns to be highly relevant and personalized," said Liad Agmon, CEO of Dynamic Yield. "Now, email marketers, acquisition managers, and others can leverage troves of behavioral and browsing activity data that was not previously available to them. This will allow them to create more precise user segments and thus, a better overall outreach experience for their customers and prospects alike."
Following the release of its Offline Purchase Ingestion capability early last month, the Audience Export Manager is the latest addition to Dynamic Yield's Customer Data Platform (CDP) product. The company continues to invest heavily in expanding its solutions in onboarding, consolidation, and activation for the delivery of highly tailored experiences across the entire marketing stack.

Stiner most recently served as a Director at Humana Military, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Humana, Inc. and was responsible for shaping the company's strategy for public sector activities and guiding its execution across the enterprise.
In addition to hiring Stiner, the company partnered with the Washington D.C.-based impact venture firm, Risk and Return, led by former Navy SEAL, White House Advisor, and Senior Advisor for McCrystal Group, Jeffrey Eggers. Risk and Return joins a syndicate of NeuroFlow's latest investment round which announced an initial close in December 2019.
Stiner will lead growth strategies for NeuroFlow, taking on the responsibility of maintaining and building relationships with federal agencies, Congress, military and veteran-serving organizations. "This company has already demonstrated its unique capability to bring behavioral health services to individuals in need while improving organizations' performance. They are filling a clear gap in care, and I am beyond excited and honored to join the NeuroFlow team and continue bringing the proven technology and services to our military and Veterans," says Stiner, a former Marine, Iraq War veteran and Truman Scholar.
"The opportunity to serve Veterans, Service members, and their families is engrained in NeuroFlow's DNA; it's a key tenet of our founding story. We have had a tremendous amount of success in bridging the gaps in care in the commercial market - it's time we bring that value to our government partners." said NeuroFlow CEO Chris Molaro.
NeuroFlow's behavioral health technology enables organizations to increase individual effectiveness, readiness, and overall wellness while gaining real-time individual and population-level insights. Last year, the US Air Force and the Air Force Innovation Program (AFWERX) signed up to provide service members access to NeuroFlow's mobile app built to help support and manage personal wellness, as well as started an engagement with the Philadelphia Fire Department - supporting first responders. And most recently, the National Science Foundation announced a $750K award to support their continued growth after a successful year-long Phase I contract with the Philadelphia VAMC.
"We're excited about partnering with NeuroFlow. They have a strong team, with a passionate commitment to their mission." explained Risk and Return Managing Director Jeffrey Eggers. "NeuroFlow is well-positioned to accelerate their impact amidst the challenges of COVID-19, supporting our military, veterans, and first responders."

New ADMS Platform will Significantly Reduce Costs, Improve Usability, and Enhance Customer Support

BRAMPTON, ONTARIO (PRWEB) APRIL 27, 2020
Survalent, the most trusted provider of SCADA and advanced distribution management system (ADMS) software, today announced that Cobb Electric Membership Corporation, the second largest cooperative in Georgia, has chosen SurvalentONE ADMS as the cornerstone of their future-proofing and reliability improvement initiatives.
After maintaining their previous SCADA system for over 40 years, Cobb recognized that they needed a new platform to help them meet their goals for modernization, improving efficiency, increasing reliability, and reducing costs. Cobb also sought technology that would attract and be easy to learn for a younger workforce as their team members retired.
"It was eye-opening how much SCADA technology has changed... we really did need to look at modernization and better technology, and that's ultimately why we ended up picking Survalent," said Eddie Facey, Cobb's Supervisor of Real Time Systems.
Cobb's decision to convert to the SurvalentONE platform was the result of a detailed and highly-competitive evaluation process run by a team which included control room and administrative users familiar with the existing ADMS system. Cobb appreciated the robust monitoring and control capabilities, user-friendly interface, flexible configuration, and the ease of use for day-to-day tasks. Survalent's reputation for strong customer support and comprehensive maintenance were equally strong factors in their conversion.
With SurvalentONE ADMS, Cobb will be able to scale their operations and add advanced functionality in the future, paving the way for smart grid initiatives. The utility projects considerable operational and support cost savings, as well as a major reduction in operational risk.
Having begun their conversion process in January 2020, Cobb will complete the configuration of more than 40 substations by the end of March 2020. Their next step is to implement SurvalentONE Fault Location, Isolation, and Service Restoration (FLISR) to enable faster restoration of outages.
"To say we're pleased to be an integral part of Cobb's long-term modernization and improvement plan would be an understatement," said Steve Mueller, President and Chief Executive Officer of Survalent. "We're excited to help Cobb deliver significant operational and technology improvements to their distribution services and their member-owner base."

Computer Incident Response Services Provided Free for Compromised Healthcare and First Responder Systems That Affect the Delivery of COVID-19 Patient Care

ELKRIDGE, MD. (PRWEB) APRIL 27, 2020
In response to an unprecedented increase in ransomware and data breach activity during the COVID-19 pandemic, Atlantic Data Forensics, Inc. announced today that it will provide Digital Forensics/Incident Response (DFIR) services to US-based healthcare organizations and first responders whose COVID-19 related patient care and other front-line systems have been compromised by cybercriminal activity.
During this time of disruption, emergency expansion and resource limitation for healthcare providers dealing with the impact of COVID-19, cybercriminals have stepped up their attacks on those same providers through phishing and probing networks in an effort to profit from disabling hospital computer systems through ransomware, stealing patient healthcare data or furthering financial fraud schemes.
Last week the FBI reported through their Internet Crimes Complaint Center (IC3), that since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Bureau has seen the number of incidents reported increase from 1,000 per day to upwards of 4,000. Likewise, Atlantic Data Forensics has responded to a significant increase of cybersecurity incidents due to increased cybercriminal activity during the pandemic.
"After looking at current cyber threat intelligence and our own surge in incident response activity, I realized the company could help by providing free services to not only our healthcare clients that are under increased attack, but to all healthcare organizations currently on the front lines of this battle." said Brian Dykstra, CEO, of Atlantic Data Forensics, "I chose to present this offering to the healthcare community because, like many other people, I've been challenged in trying to find a way to contribute and directly assist health care professionals during this pandemic."
Atlantic Data Forensics has a team of experienced, computer incident responders and computer forensic examiners that are the choice of many of the nation's largest businesses, law firms, government agencies and non-profit organizations.

WASHINGTON (PRWEB) APRIL 27, 2020
NowSecure, the leading mobile app security and privacy software company, announced today the NowSecure NIAP Mobile App Vetting Software Solution to enable U.S. federal agencies, U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Service Providers to rapidly test for NIAP compliance to speed production deployments of critical mobile applications.
The National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) oversees the U.S. implementation of the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation. Leveraging industry, government and academia, NIAP manages a U.S. national program for ensuring rigorous security requirements, including a NIAP specification for vetting mobile apps. Further, the DoD mandates NIAP compliance for unmanaged mobile systems.
"Mobile apps that comply with NIAP set a high security bar which protects the DoD and federal agencies, staff and the supply chain from attack," said Andrew Hoog, co-founder of NowSecure. "Our successful SBIR partnership with the U.S. Air Force and the BESPIN team in conjunction with their innovative DevSecOps program extends our automated mobile app security testing platform with NIAP compliance capabilities to help drive faster testing that speeds ATO for massive mobilization across DoD and federal agencies."
NIAP was originally designed for large web and infrastructure projects with long lifecycles where lengthy, human-driven NIAP compliance testing was reasonable to achieve Authority to Operate (ATO). But mobile apps tend to have fast and frequent release cycles on rapidly evolving platforms, requiring a faster automated approach to achieving NIAP compliance.To address these challenges, NowSecure has extended its automated mobile app security testing platform to enable rapid NIAP self-assessment to speed ATO and deploy critical mobile apps across federal agencies substantially faster and lower cost.
"Mobile apps are critical to enabling the Air Force to meet our mission around the world," said Captain Michael Valentin, Air Force BESPIN Operations & Support Service Manager Manager. "We are excited to partner with experts like NowSecure to bring automated mobile app security testing and NIAP compliance into our BESPIN program. This new capability can help the Air Force, DoD and federal agencies confidently unleash more widespread development and use of mobile apps. From the SBIR award a year ago to shipping product today, we are achieving our goals of moving fast with continuous innovation."
The NowSecure NIAP Mobile App Vetting Solution tests for all 50+ requirements for mobile app vetting from the NIAP v1.3 Protection Profile for Application Software. The NowSecure Platform test engine uses automated static, dynamic and interactive analysis of Android and iOS mobile applications on real devices for deep, accurate and comprehensive testing in minutes. NowSecure includes a step-by-step interactive workflow for NIAP assessors to review and finalize results in a few hours. Finally, NowSecure automatically generates a detailed, high-quality report ready for ATO submission. The NowSecure NIAP Mobile App Vetting solution compresses months of complex testing and documentation into just a day or two of work at a dramatically lower cost.
The NowSecure NIAP Mobile App Vetting solution can be used in multiple ways:

To test mobile apps developed by agencies, by suppliers, by integrators or downloaded from public sources including Apple AppStore and Google Play.

To test as part of a DevSecOps mobile app development lifecycle, either on-demand or integrated into CI/CD pipelines to security test every build every day so that once development is completed, the NIAP assessor can complete their work even faster.

To inventory the mobile app population via an existing MDM/EMM deployment and scan for NIAP compliance across the existing mobile app portfolio to provide greater visibility into agency-wide risk.

Located at Maxwell Air Force Base Gunter Annex in Alabama, BESPIN is an Air Force organization connecting government operations with developers from the private sector. The office uses an agile development methodology to quickly implement ideas that ultimately support the service and the Department of Defense.
