Johnson & Quin Achieves SOC 2 Compliance
Johnson & Quin, a full-service provider of direct mail production and mailing services, today announced successful completion of their 2019 SOC 2 Type 2 examination. The company initially completed their SOC 2 Type 1 examination in 2018.
Completing the examination "verifies that our security processes are consistent, ongoing and sustainable," explained Manish Haria, VP, CISO and CIO for Johnson & Quin. "Putting a compliance framework in place and having it audited by independent third parties keeps us secure."
Johnson & Quin's efforts allow them to demonstrate a substantially higher level of assurance and operational visibility than companies that have not undergone annual SOC 2 examinations. As a provider of high-volume, complex communication programs that require both personalized and variable data printing, this reassurance is crucial for the company and their clients.
"Johnson & Quin processes millions of records of consumer data each year for our clients, including many financial services, insurance, retail and other industries. It is essential that our handling of their data meets the top security and compliance guidelines not just most of the time, but on an ongoing and consistent basis so that our clients are confident in the safety of their data and marketing materials," stated Kay Wilt, Director of Marketing.
Many customers request the company's SOC report as a condition of doing business. The successful examination allows Johnson & Quin to reassure their clients that the company is continuously monitoring their security procedures and investing in critical compliance initiatives.
"Many clients in the financial and other industries require that their marketing service providers have security procedures and processes that have been audited by outside authorities," Wilt noted. "It certifies that we do have the controls in place to manage our clients' data securely on an ongoing basis."
All examination efforts were completed by the professional and independent third-party audit firm, 360 Advanced, Inc.
"360 Advanced helped us understand the compliance requirements based on the type of sensitive data we handle," Haria noted. "They worked on understanding our business services, as well as the security that was in place to protect the information. [Their] approach to looking at controls was always both risk-based and compliance-based."
As part of the examination, Johnson & Quin was measured against the AICPA Trust Services Criteria for Security. With third-party assurance that these criteria have been met, the company can continue delivering direct mail programs, while assuring that their clients' information will remain secure.

Study Takes New Approach to Evaluate Donor Retention and Lifetime Value to Reveal Valuable Insights for Nonprofits.

DALLAS (PRWEB) OCTOBER 30, 2019
Pursuant Insights, the analytics division of fundraising agency Pursuant, has released its inaugural Donor Loyalty Benchmarking Study to equip philanthropy leaders with the most important insights and takeaways around increasing the overall loyalty, commitment, and generosity of today's donors. Led by Hilary Noon, Executive Director of Pursuant Insights, and her team, the study provides a holistic view into donor loyalty by establishing industry benchmarks around lifetime value and retention across channels, sources, and giving levels.
"Our hope is that this inaugural Donor Loyalty Benchmarking Study will provide a baseline and framework that organizations can use to focus on donor loyalty by improving retention and increasing the lifetime value of their donors regardless of how they engage with an organization," explained Hilary Noon. "Doing so will help leaders work across departments to truly unpack why certain donors are more or less connected to their cause."
"As an agency committed to inspiring passionate people to change the world, we at Pursuant wanted to help our industry discover ways to increase the loyalty and passion of today's donors,"notes Trent Ricker, President and CEO of Pursuant. "I couldn't be more proud of the work our team has done to establish what donor loyalty means and how we measure it across
channels, sources, and giving levels."
Study Methodology & Participating Organizations:
The study analyzed over 10 years of individual giving data from 21 nonprofit organizations across multiple sectors. While admittedly small in size, the study's findings reinforce broader studies taking place across the industry and provide valuable insights for deeper testing within any nonprofit's approach to donor experience and stewardship efforts. All giving sources were included.
Notable organizations participating in the study include Alzheimer's Association, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, National Children's Medical Center, Penn Medicine, Washington National Cathedral, and Pepperdine University.
"With other industry benchmarking, the data can be as much as 18 months out of date," noted Maureen Frasier, Senior Executive Director of Development Information at Penn Medicine Development and Alumni Relations, one of the participating organizations in the study. "This report provided us with valuable information on the most recent fiscal year, which is much more actionable."
In addition to establishing benchmarks related to donor loyalty across the philanthropic sector, the study also provides detailed insights into sub-sectors such as Arts & Culture, Faith-based organizations, Healthcare Foundations, Multi-Affiliate Organizations, and Higher Education Institutions.
Insights & Takeaways:

Key insights from the study include...

A majority of donors "transact" with participating organizations — 62% of donors have only one gift in their lifetime.

In comparing 2018 to 2017, organizations in this study were able to offset poor retention rates with large volumes of new donors — The average retention rate is 34% YOY, but overall coverage ratio for participating organizations was healthy because of the number of new donors that came in 2018.

Despite lower retention rates, donor lifetime revenue is healthy — The average lifetime revenue per donor across organizations was $648.

The donors' overall lifetime value reveals tremendous untapped opportunity — while the average revenue per donor currently benchmarks at $648, the average donor lifetime value was discovered to be $1,068.

By including a variety of organizations that raise funds in different ways, the study was able to identify how those differences impact connection and loyalty. For example, Faith based organizations were second only to Hospitals in driving the highest lifetime value due to frequent giving over long periods of time. Similarly, the study identified strength in loyalty indicators among smaller organizations vs. larger ones. These insights demonstrate that organizations may benefit from going outside their cohort groups to study practices that are working for organizations they may never have thought to analyze.
"We were interested in taking part in this study because it included a variety of organizations that raised money in different ways," highlighted one of the participating organizations. "The study gave us really valuable insights into practices and strategies we would not have recognized without it.'

In September, Comodo's enterprise endpoint protection platform and consumer protection products received a perfect security score from CheckLab's independent testing.

CLIFTON, N.J. (PRWEB) OCTOBER 30, 2019
In September, Comodo's enterprise and consumer protection products received a perfect security score from CheckLab's independent testing. CheckLab's professional testing reported that all malware samples were blocked by Comodo's auto-containment security technology with no false positives reported. Comodo earned the Best+++ Protection Award. (https://checklab.pl/en/awards)
Fatih Orhan, SVP of Technology commented on the results, "We are delighted to receive this award and proud of the confirmation that our products protect customers from all known and unknown malware. Our default-deny approach automatically runs unknown files in a secure container where they are only presented with virtual disks, registry and COM interfaces. This isolation instantly prevents potentially malicious files from harming the host. We can then analyze the file to ascertain its trust rating and either allow it to pass or kill it. Performance is never impacted and, most importantly, the endpoint and network remain protected and secure at all times."
The IBM Cost of Data Breach report revealed that the average cost of a data breach in 2019 is $3.92 million, an increase of 12 percent since 2014. In another study between the Ponemon Institute and IBM, 69% of organizations said they don't believe that the threats they are seeing can be blocked by their antivirus software alone.
Comodo's Dragon platform is built upon a next generation, layered default-deny technology which isolates unknown files, ransomware and other harmful files, rendering them useless against endpoints and networks. Battle-tested on over 85 million endpoints worldwide, the technology has a very small endpoint footprint and provides complete and affordable protection for enterprises both large and small. Users can experience a free trial at https://platform.comodo.com/signup/.

The Austin based company officially announces launch and will use the growth capital to hire additional engineers and designers to ramp up growth.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) OCTOBER 31, 2019
LoudCrowd, Inc., a SaaS marketing platform that enables brands to leverage word-of-mouth marketing at scale, announced that it has closed a $515,000 Pre-Seed round led by Active Capital, with participation from local angel investors.
The company was founded by Justin Papermaster and Gary Garofalo with the core belief that a brand's customers are their most powerful asset, and that they are being under-leveraged. Papermaster and Garofalo have extensive experience in the marketing and analytics software space. After meeting and becoming friends in college, they had always planned to start a company together. Previously they held roles leading sales and strategy for successful Austin marketing SaaS startups including TrendKite which sold to Cision for $225 million earlier this year, Spredfast, and Umbel.
In working with leading brands like Nike, and Hershey, Justin and Gary discovered that a clear opportunity emerged. "There is nothing more valuable for a brand than a customer telling their friends they love a product or service. Brands have always struggled to find sustainable and organic ways to encourage customers to do this," says Justin Papermaster, Co-Founder of LoudCrowd.
"Influencer marketing has clearly become a huge and growing business," adds Pat Matthews, founder & CEO of Active Capital. "We love the approach Justin and Gary are taking to help every day consumers become engaged "influencers" for their favorite brands."
The LoudCrowd platform helps brands create a personalized program to turn every customer into a vocal brand supporter. LoudCrowd makes this possible by allowing companies to provide their customers an incentive to share their love of the brand on social media, in essence turning existing customers into micro influencers. While LoudCrowd considers themselves platform agnostic, most of its clients are focused on Instagram as the most important social platform for marketing to new customers. LoudCrowd is betting that user generated content (UGC) is an extremely important but often neglected type of media, and they are providing a brand the tools to measure and improve that content.
"Loudcrowd helped amplify our connection with our customers and affiliates," says Ana Montilla, Social Media Manager for Verb Products. "It motivated them to go beyond the purchase, post about Verb on social media and actually enjoy doing it!"

Crisp's 2019 Crisis Impact Report explores the increasing weaponization of communications on social media, and the damage to brand value it causes in the wake of a crisis

CHICAGO (PRWEB) OCTOBER 31, 2019
With more than half of consumers (54%) reporting they use social media more than six times a day, information (whether real or fake) can spread in an instant. This environment has created a breeding ground for "bad actors" to spread misinformation and disinformation about brands, often causing irreversible damage. Unfortunately, brands are unprepared for the fallout these unprecedented threats pose to their brand value. Crisp's "2019 Crisis Impact Report: How Consumers React To A Brand Crisis," released today, reveals imperative consumer expectations during a brand crisis against the backdrop of an increasingly weaponized social media landscape.
To further understand the effect of a crisis on brand value and the importance of a strategic response to maintain customer loyalty, Crisp, the leading provider of Social Media Safety, surveyed 2,000 consumers from the U.S. and U.K., about how they expect brands to respond in the wake of a crisis. The report reinforces how important it is for brands to be the first to know and the first to act. And, when they do, it is critical for brands to have the right actionable intelligence given the increasing amount of misinformation and disinformation on the wider web.
"Our survey data clearly demonstrates what consumers expect from brands during a crisis. However, the weaponization of communications on social media through things like deepfakes and troll farms, makes it difficult for brands to act on those expectations," said Emma Monks, VP of Crisis Intelligence at Crisp. "With this current landscape of misinformation and disinformation, it's challenging for brands to even know what's real or what's fake, leaving them in a difficult position when it comes to executing an appropriate response that consumers want to hear."
Key findings from the report include:

Rapid response is invaluable in a crisis situation: More than half (53%) of consumers expect a brand's response within an hour of a crisis and one in three (34%) expect a response within 30 minutes.

Leadership must connect accurately and authentically to consumers during a crisis: 59% of consumers want brand responses to a crisis to come from the CEO.

An intelligent response is the difference between consumer loyalty and losing revenue: 90% of consumers say they are likely to shop with a brand that responds well to a crisis, while 66% are unlikely to continue shopping with a brand that responds poorly to a crisis. That means two-thirds of brand revenue is on the line.

"When responding to a crisis, brands need to be the first to know, so that they can be the first to act," said Adam Hildreth, CEO of Crisp. "However, they also need an effective combination of artificial and human intelligence to make sure they're getting the right context to inform the next best action to take. By doing this, brands not only can exceed the consumer expectations outlined in our report, they can also drive stronger brand loyalty."

Fixture images rendered from 3D objects is a game changer - all variations, multiple angles and limitless lifestyle applications equals total flexibility.

FLEMINGTON, N.J. (PRWEB) OCTOBER 31, 2019
The Challenge:
With a big release of NEW product scheduled for January's Dallas Market, Swarovski Lighting NA has an incredibly tight timeline: to approve the fixtures' final designs, have them ready to show in Dallas, AND have a new print catalog ready for the launch.
Photographing the numerous variations has always been a challenge for this highly configurable premium fixture brand and traditionally a fixture has been limited to one image in a common configuration. That model simply does not work anymore in today's online world where images are King. So there is no way, following the status quo, the deadlines could be met for the quantity of imagery needed.
The Solution:
3D rendering has totally changed that; making the impossible possible and affordable.
Since 2018, IndustrySync.com has set the standard for high quality, high resolution fixture imagery derived from 3D rendered objects. Based here in the US, IndustrySync manages a Team of vetted and highly trained 3D Designers who understand the product needs, from finishes and textures to lighting and shadows, creating an incredible visual experience. This latest project marks the first time Swarovski Lighting NA has committed to the entire run: 180+ unique images, knowing they will get the images delivered on time, on budget, and with the look and feel required for their premium brand experience.
And for increased value, 3D objects become a long term asset. As the collection is expanded, new finishes are introduced, or lifestyle images are required, the object and its elements can be used in perpetuity, decreasing the cost per image to prices unattainable with photo shoots, fixture costs & logistics costs. Try doing that with a 2D photograph!
To learn more, contact IndustrySync.com's 3D Team.
About IndustrySync:
We formed IndustrySync in early 2018 because the focus of Home Decor Manufacturers finally started to change. The online channel kept growing, traditional Sales Reps could not support digital efforts, and Distributors were demanding more and more to promote products online. We work with both Manufacturers and Distributors to address the digital shortcomings in data and imagery. 3D Rendering was a natural extension of our core services, to enhance the available imagery or to create custom and unique images that differentiates the experience.

Refactr Empowers IT Teams to Leverage Existing DevOps and Security Tools to Build Secure IT as Code Solutions

ORLANDO, FLA. (PRWEB) OCTOBER 31, 2019
Refactr announced today at ConnectWise IT Nation Connect 2019, the Refactr Platform. The Refactr Platform is a rebranding of Cloud + Security Architect Platform and adding in Refactr's playbook.cloud container sandboxing backend with a focus on providing an agile, radically simple DevSecOps automation platform to bring IT Teams into the world of IT as Code.
Despite accelerating advancements in cloud technology, most organizations are still behind on cloud adoption, primarily due to a shortage of expertise in software-defined solution development. DevOps tools are designed for developers, but most workloads are not being deployed as a part of an internal development pipeline. As a result, many deployment tasks are still being accomplished manually, causing many who attempt a shift to the cloud to forego its benefits by not taking advantage of modern automation techniques.
The Refactr Platform can be used by internal IT, security, and IT service providers teams to centralize, standardize, and modernize their delivery practices through IT as Code using the latest in infrastructure-as-code, configuration management, and security automation tools.
This announcement is a major milestone in the evolution of Refactr's collaborative, visually-focused DevSecOps platform that includes a solution catalog that enables vendors and IT teams to build their own IT as Code content and publish it out for use, leveraging existing DevSecOps tools like Terraform, Ansible, and others.
"There is a major shortage of DevOps Engineers and Cloud Architects. On top of that, most technology teams consist of those who work inside existing vendor's products live in the UI and aren't coding experts. We want technology teams to collaborate visually and while supporting existing DevSecOps tools to help technology teams to modernize their approach to building IT as Code solutions to stay competitive, and increase their profitability." - Michael Fraser, Co-Founder, Refactr.
Partner feedback has been vital to further enhance the user experience and power of the Refactr Platform. RFA, a mid-sized managed service provider out of New York City is one of those key feedback partners. "Refactr's DevSecOps platform helped fast tracked us getting started with Ansible and other DevOps tools to create security automation playbooks to help us operationalize our SOC, and their platform APIs made it easy to integrate with existing internal products." - Mark Alayev, Director of Service Delivery, RFA.
Refactr's new platform launch includes a set of new features as a result of in-depth user feedback from key partners, including:
Solution Catalog
Get started immediately by utilizing our catalog of turn-key solution pipelines which follow best practices and have been validated in production. If you're a solution provider, you can now publish your pipelines to the catalog to share them with others.
Drag and Drop and YAML Pipeline Builder
A powerful new designer interface combines our visual drag-and-drop pipeline builder with a native YAML text editor. The visual pipeline builder simplifies the process of creating industry-standard automation workflows, including modules for Azure Resource Manager Templates, AWS CloudFormation Stacks, Google Deployment Manager Templates, Hashicorp Terraform, RedHat Ansible Playbooks, HTTP Requests, PowerShell Scripts, Shell Scripts, and more. Seamlessly connect and launch these tools in the container sandboxing built right into the platform.
Jobs and Job Scheduler
Templatized job definitions enable users to pre-define pipeline runs, which can then be run manually, from the API, or on a schedule using our built-in job scheduler. This feature simplifies integration flows by allowing integrators to parameterize their solutions and to know whether an integration is using their published content.
Containers
Jobs now run in a full-featured, isolated container hosted securely in the cloud. This enables support for every automation tool imaginable, as well as native scripting and access to the operating system. Your job containers come preinstalled with all of our supported tools, and can be completely customized.
Git Integration
Already have automation scripts, playbooks or configurations? Reuse your existing IP by adding a git checkout step to your pipelines.
Access Control
A new user-based access control system allows users to invite others to view, edit, or manage their projects. This feature enables collaboration between teams and users internal and external.
API
A brand new RESTful API enables programmatic access to all aspects of the platform. 3rd-party integrators can now leverage the Refactr Platform to add powerful automation actions to their systems. Work is already underway with solution providers in the ChatOps and security automation spaces.
Projects
Organize solution pipelines into projects, keeping everything you need in one place. Share individual projects with collaborators, giving them exactly the level of access they need.
About Refactr
Refactr, a Seattle-based startup, was founded in 2017 by veteran and industry experts in cloud and cybersecurity. Refactr's mission is to accelerate the cultural shift toward modern DevOps workflows among security and IT teams by providing an all-in-one, highly usable, radically simple DevSecOps automation platform.

BUSINESSES LEARN THE BEST MANAGED IT FIRM IN SAN FRANCISCO PRACTICES 'HACKER MANAGEMENT'
Here is the background for this release. Bay Area companies can employ large teams of IT professionals to help maintain a business network. Standard projects, including system upgrades and adding new off-site networks, can keep an in-house IT department busy. Business leaders might forget the value of consistent cyber risk assessment.
Professional hackers are on the lookout for loopholes in company networks 24/7. A distracted IT team might miss critical network openings. Reaching out to a San Francisco Managed IT firm skilled in the latest hacker techniques could help.
An in-house team of IT employees could understand a few hacking techniques, but spend most of their time managing system projects. A professional managed IT firm contracted to focus on cybersecurity can help keep a business safe and running. Professional IT experts are knowledgeable about current techniques hackers use to steal sensitive business data. Frequent maintenance of company networks, or perceived 'hacker management,' could keep a network secure and running smoothly. For these reasons, Anchor Advisory announced a new informational post about the value of frequent cybersecurity check-ups.

Adopting AI, leveraging data, and applying Design Sprints are among the concerns. The GDL Delivery Center hosted these U.S. 10 companies on October 8th. What does AI mean for the enterprise? 60% of those attending could account for their own active pursuits to innovate. iTexico's Delivery Center in Guadalajara was the headquarters for a gathering of some of the tech industry's companies and contributors, where they shared their takes on the future of innovation and the Mexican IT landscape.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 01, 2019
iTexico's Delivery Center in Guadalajara was the headquarters for a gathering of some of the tech industry's companies and contributors, where they shared their takes on the future of innovation and the Mexican IT landscape.
Within this hot spot of technological prowess, talks ranged from all manner of discussions, but most important of all was what the future would hold and how the attendees planned on reaching it. It became clear, through unanimous agreement, that 100% of the company's tech leaders believe that innovation within the field was among the most important concepts to address. Around 60% of those attending could account for their own active pursuits to innovate.
Mexican IT Ecosystem Stakeholders
The current state of the IT ecosystem within America's borders presents multiple opportunities for Mexico to carve out its own niche in the market. While American IT network may be a massive force, its supply of capable software engineers has begun running low. Without a deep, reliable labor pool to pull from, the market will find that it won't be able to maintain rapid, high quality output for its products.
The Mexican IT ecosystem is laden with an enormous reservoir of what U.S. companies desperately need: skilled engineers. Not only can Mexico provide these resources in sufficient amounts to meet the call for demand from over the border, but they can do so at competitive prices that most companies can't afford to ignore.
This segment of the conference welcomed three special guests to participate in the discussions:
Amdocs Latin America Office Director - Benjamín Huerta
Co-Founder and CEO Startup GDL - Cindy Blanco
iTexico COO - Guillermo Ortega
Discussing Innovation Leveraging Design Sprints 
One of the foremost concerns in regards to new innovations encroaching the market is how to effectively implement them into a pre-existing framework quickly and effectively. Reacting quickly to new changes in the market, especially regarding developments that have the potential to bear enormous impact on how business will be conducted, is paramount for the ever-changing field of software development.
This concern gave birth to the concept of Design Sprints. More and more companies are implementing this methodology as a part of their process and innovation culture, driving a concerted effort to maintain integrity, relevance, and flexibility to adapt. iTexico has begun assisting these companies that are attempting to retain innovative performance through introducing the Design Sprint methodology, originally pioneered by Google.
A Design Sprint is a 4- or 5-day process to condense potentially months of work into a few days. It's purpose is to solve big challenges, create new products, or improve existing ones through a focused, rapid week of effort. If done correctly, innovative methods, concepts, products, or technologies can be successfully remastered in a much shorter time than it might usually take.
"Design Sprints are giving us the opportunities for our products and for our company that are going to drive the next round of development."
The Design Sprint methodology was pioneered by Google Ventures, and in time has proven to be a powerful and high impact tool for our clients and their users. It replaces endless debate and uncertainty with a proven step-by-step system for fast and focused decision-making.
By using Design Sprints, we will collaborate and work towards solving your pressing business challenges by understanding, ideating, deciding, prototyping, and testing ideas in a very short time frame following a proven process.
An excellent example of this process can be found through AI Adoption with Design Sprints
How iTexico Creates Value with Digital Innovation
Abhay Agarwal lead a pivoted discussion dedicated to the value of AI adoption for enterprise. Abhay is the co-founder and principal at Standard Notation, an AI design firm and iTexico AI partner. He is a lecturer at the Stanford University Hasso Platner Institute of Design, and co-creator of the course "Designing Machine Learning." Prior to that, he was a research fellow at Microsoft's AI+Research group. He holds an MS from the Stanford Design program as well as a BS from UC Berkeley's EE&CS program.
Abhay spoke in depth about the following question: "What does AI mean for enterprise?" The roundtable discussion rolled forward, covering the rethinking about how companies do their core business, down to fundamentals, and rewriting how information flows through the business.
"Most AI products are not well designed from the human center perspective; design is the first step to put out great products and innovation."
The changes in thought process and business practice are explicitly reliant on effectively adopting AI technologies into the company framework. This will bring forth entirely new features for their markets, making small technical changes that carry outsized impacts.
iTexico plans to shortly release their AI Adoption Program, enabling companies to harness the potential with AI by adopting this technology through baby steps.
iTexico's Recent Innovation: HAL/Cloud
Gerardo Hernandez led the discussion around the award winning HAL, applying Machine Learning to the business sector.
Gerardo Hernandez is an accomplished technologist and a Senior Microsoft Certified Developer who has evolved into a results-oriented manager with more than 15 years of experience providing creative solutions for any kind of problem. He is passionate about data and how it can be translated into great and amazing things, participating in many projects across a variety of industries: retail, services, oil & gas, healthcare, and AI.
At the same time that HAL was the topic of the segment, the discussion drifted over to a specific Cloud business problem: migration.
"AI is an uphill battle. So make sure you're climbing the right hill."
An application with poor architecture, performance, a lot of security issues, and an expensive monthly fee may find that it has to change platforms. The iTexico Cloud practice, led by Gerardo, solved the problem of executing the migration process to Microsoft Azure, creating a cluster to guarantee service, a load balancer to prevent overload, and a honeypot to attract constant attacks.
The GDL Innovation Center
During this day and a half at the iTexico GDL Innovation Center, all participating companies shared their experiences and landscape around innovation, using iTexico as the medium to fuel their transformation and digital innovations.
"Making everyone part of the process of innovation is our approach... everyone has the chance to add something to the mix."
iTexico offers a real opportunity to not only cut costs but to participate in the core process of innovation for our companies. AI adoption may be the leading torch for modern innovation in companies in every country, but it's not the only goal worth pursuing.
About iTexico
iTexico fuels digital innovation to enable companies to transform their business through a wide range of digital service offerings, including Design, Product Engineering, Quality Assurance, Mobile, Cloud, and AI. By leveraging a Nearshore+ delivery model, iTexico provides an amazing choice for the right talent at the right time.
iTexico's headquarters are located in Austin, TX, with two wholly-owned Innovation Centers in Guadalajara and Aguascalientes, Mexico, as well as offices in Cancun, Dallas, and California. Over the last 9 years, iTexico has experienced steady year over year growth by developing strong partnerships with well-funded early stage growth and large transformation-driven companies, including Carbon Black, Marriott, Western Digital, HomeAway, and many others.

The occurrences of crime on business premises and resulting litigation costs are increasing year over year, with payouts for victims regularly reaching sky-high figures. Taking proactive measures, such as on-site guards and monitored CCTV, is fast becoming the norm for wise business owners and saving them millions of dollars in the process.

MIAMI (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 01, 2019
Businesses have an obligation to ensure customer safety is adequately serviced whilst on their premises. Should a crime occur and the company is proven to have been negligent in their responsibility, legal payouts often stretch into millions of dollars. Many companies fall foul of such litigation because of the use of outdated security processes that haven't been updated to take into account increased levels of crime in their area.
Fast Guard Service is helping enterprises re-assess their obligations and put in place robust security measures, such as security guards and CCTV camera installation, to provide a safe client environment. This dramatically reduces the odds of judicial proceedings and also has other positive repercussions, including increased marketability and lower insurance rates.
Liability For Damages
Judges often rule in favor of victims seeking reparations against companies failing to provide elevated security measures when there has been a known increase in crime in the area and for not having 24/7 on-site security. Apartment complexes, shopping malls, clubs, sports stadiums, parking garages, and many other companies can all be held liable if an incident occurs on their premises and no proper security measures were in place to protect visitors from harm. This is why every company located in moderate-high crime areas should take the proper measures to secure their property and prevent incidents that could result in the payout of millions of dollars, should they occur.
Security Services Save Money And Lives
Many business owners are blissfully unaware of their accountability should a crime occur on their premises. Far too often there's no security present, or in the case of security cameras, they either don't work or aren't adequately monitored. Very importantly, if crime statistics are on the rise, or if the police have increased their presence as a crime deterrent yet a company has failed to raise their security to match, this can lead to increased fiduciary responsibility.
Therefore it's essential that business owners and managers engage a professional service to carry out an effective security assessment and put in place the security necessary. Savvy companies take advantage of a business security service that will assist with putting proactive measures in place, therefore effectively decreasing the likelihood of such incidents occurring. Deterrents such as on-site security guards, 24/7 monitored CCTV, security gates and the like provide a safe environment for clients and actively deter criminals.
Fast Guard Service is a global leader in such security. Entrusted by some of the biggest business names in the US and worldwide, their experienced team works with companies to assess their situation and put in place the most effective security solutions.
Security in the 21st century isn't solely about preventing crime, it's also about ensuring clients trust their safety is well looked after and the positive repercussions this brings, such as lower insurance premiums and increased marketability. In addition, should the worst happen, lawsuit verdicts are far more likely to be found in a company's favor if it can be shown that staunch security measures are in place. Fast Guard Service is a fully regulated, insured, and licensed company who deal with all aspects of commercial security. More information can be found at https://fastguardservice.com

home.pl Chooses the NuSEC Platform to Secure their SMB Customers Web Presence

CLIFTON, N.J. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 01, 2019
NuSEC's sole focus to becoming the world's most partner friendly platform for the hosting industry, including a cloud brokerage layer, allowing partners to empower their hosting business with a single integration. NuSEC (https://nusec.com) currently empowers hosters with 4 products from their platform, but as the next version of the cloud brokerage layer is rolled out, they will be adding over 40 new products, with zero additional integration required from partners on the platform.
The NuSEC Founder/Chairman, Melih Abdulhayoglu, commented on NuSEC, "We have a very specific aim here and that is to channel 100% of hosting customers web presence spend, back through the hosting company."
Starting with website scanners, looking for malware and vulnerabilities coupled with its scalable approach to cleaning all malware discovered, has seen a huge demand and interest in the NuSEC platform. On top of the remediation technology, NuSEC has world's very first fully white labelled Content Delivery Network (CDN) feeding real-time data to its own proprietary Web Application Firewall (WAF) and Security Incident & Event Management (SIEM). Now every hosting company can become a CDN under their own brand.
Hosting companies such as home.pl have a unique opportunity with the SMB market that they serve. They are typically one of the first people businesses go to when they are starting their journey towards establishing their "Web Presence" with domain names, email and hosting packages. NuSEC have a platform that will get hosting companies closer, to re-capturing the revenue when their customers go direct to other CDNs because the hosting company is not able to provide their own fully white labelled CDN to their customers.
David Meers, President of NuSEC commented on the partnership, "Meeting with Marcin and his excellent team over at home.pl, we have the foundations of an excellent partnership, combining the NuSEC security products with home.pl's unwavering focus to deliver best in class business applications to their vast customer base."
home.pl has been steadily broadening their product portfolio, offering a wide range of products and services. This latest release sees them launch cWatch website security packages to all their new and existing customers, as well as website backup, with CDN and DNS services coming next.
Marcin Kusmierz, President and CEO at home.pl had this to say about the collaboration, "It's been a great experience working with the NuSEC team to deliver this ambitious project. We've been evaluating a lot of different service providers out there for many years, but none of them can come close to what NuSEC have; a proprietary website security solution, complete with their own website backup product, their own CDN and DNS platform, all in the same API's, in a single pane of glass. It's impressive and we have plans to offer much more over the coming months and years as the partnership develops further."
About home.pl
home.pl is the largest internet service provider in Poland. As a member of the United Internet group, they are also an industry leader in Europe. home.pl specializes in registering domain names, providing hosting for websites, maintaining e-mail accounts, co-creating online stores and providing modern solutions in the form of internet applications.

We have worked hard to ensure that ongoing situational awareness becomes integrated into public safety operations now that public safety has come to expect high speed access to reliable and resilient public safety broadband, David Fritsche, PSTA SA Subcommittee Chair and Secured Communications CTO

FREMONT, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 04, 2019
Consistent with the purpose and mission of the PSTA, the PSTA Board of Directors is pleased to release the Situational Awareness Technical Subcommittee report https://www.pstalliance.org/wp-content/uploads/PSTA-SA-Report.pdf which includes the initial PSTA recommendations for public safety and industry.
The Situational Awareness Subcommittee was established to recommend a common set of standard APIs and interface structures that will make the situational awareness construct for public safety users much easier to implement and integrate into existing systems.

PSTA also recommends the use of open geospatial data standards, the use of the National Information Exchange Model (NIEM) in establishing a common naming convention schema across public safety, and the use of Project Open Data to address a common set of open standard metadata data sets and APIs for use by both federal and state agencies.
"We have worked hard to ensure that ongoing situational awareness becomes integrated into public safety operations now that public safety has come to expect high speed access to reliable and resilient public safety broadband," said David Fritsche, PSTA Situational Awareness Subcommittee Chair and Secured Communications CTO.
"Situational awareness incorporates multiple applications and platforms to share real time information for first responders and we need to ensure these systems are interoperable as they become embedded into every public safety organization," added Anatoli Levine, PSTA Situational Awareness Subcommittee Member and Softil Director of Products and Standards.
As PSTA considers additional, relevant, information provided within the Situational Awareness Subcommittee, it will update and release any changes to its recommendations as necessary. The current report version will be posted on the PSTA website (https://www.pstalliance.org/technical-committees/subcommittee-report-and-comment-form/) and will be open and accessible to the public.te
If you are a member of a public safety agency/association, industry or academia and want to contribute to these important technical subcommittee discussions going forward, please visit https://www.pstalliance.org/how-to-join/ to join the PSTA and share your experience and knowledge.

Bridge continues partner program expansion and adds Wealthbox CRM.

CHICAGO (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 04, 2019
Bridge Financial Technology and Wealthbox CRM are pleased to announce a new integration and partnership, launched this quarter to continue to expand both firms' respective networks of API partners.
Advisors using Wealthbox and Bridge's Atlas software can now sync data between platforms with a new two-way integration. This release eliminates duplicate data entry and manual data management, so advisors can spend more time on the strategic aspects of running their business.
Bridge specializes in automating data management, client billing and invoicing, and client reporting, including performance accounting and tracking. The Wealthbox integration ties in key client notes, tasks, events, and demographics with the updated account information and client deliverables in Atlas, Bridge's efficient and automated flagship software.
"We are constantly looking for partners that are specialized and are focused on areas that are crucial to the success of our advisors," said Steve Carroll, Head of Product for Wealthbox. "Like Wealthbox, Bridge has built its technology around its API and advisor experience and is committed to developing easy to use, integrated software. Our respective API's make the integration as easy as adding an extension to your favorite web browser, enabling quick, powerful data flows between our two systems."
The integration was developed alongside advisors to limit keystrokes and reduce toggling between applications while offering the benefits of using two specialized platforms.
Advisors using Atlas and Wealthbox can now utilize the two in an integrated workflow including:

Link Wealthbox clients to Atlas households when new clients join––no more data duplication.

View a live WealthBox feed in Atlas to plan for future reporting needs.

Create and view notes in real-time in either system, including smart tagging other users or clients.

Send an email directly from Atlas using the client's Wealthbox contact demographics.

"We couldn't be more excited about our integration partnership with Wealthbox," said Rasheed Hammouda, CEO of Bridge Financial Technology. "It's another example of best in class, API driven tools working together to deliver a better advisor experience than is possible with an "all-in-one" approach."
About Bridge
Bridge is a financial technology company with an operating history of over 15 years. We believe everyone should have access to a fiduciary advisor. Our portfolio management software enables advisors to serve more clients with greater efficiency. The Atlas platform automates necessary but time consuming functions for advisors, from data management to client reporting. The result: we allow advisors to scale faster, serve more clients, and be more productive. Visit http://www.bridgeft.com or send an email to sales@bridgeft.com to request a product demonstration.

The SBIR program is a highly competitive system that encourages domestic small businesses to engage in Federal R&D projects. Redwall has been chosen to continue on in Phase II of the program

BEAVERCREEK, OHIO (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 04, 2019
Redwall Technologies, the leading ISV for multi-modal endpoint device security, announced today that the United States Marine Corps has awarded it a second Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) contract. This 27-month SBIR Phase II contract is valued at $1,498,471 and continues the work of the Data Integrity and Confidentiality SBIR Phase I award. The SBIR program is highly competitive and encourages domestic small businesses to engage in Federal R&D projects that have the potential for commercialization. Redwall has been chosen exclusively by the Marine Corps Data Security and Resilient Operating System Environment award to extend the capability of its innovative data security product, Redwall Mobile.
"We believe this Phase II award validates the multi-level security benefits of Redwall Mobile, and provides the impetus for incorporating new features to enable smartphones to fight through cyber-attacks," said John Rosenstengel, Redwall president and CEO. "Our end-point security solution already allows users to have secure separation of multiple personas on a single device. This new work will enable us to add 'resilience' to thwart attempts to disable or deny services on the device."
"Again and again, other smartphones are shown to be vulnerable to zero-day exploits, sophisticated attacks, and privacy violations. With each vulnerability discovery it remains clear that current status quo methods are not working," said Redwall Chief Technology Officer, Eric Üner. "With Redwall Mobile, we have demonstrated resilience against attacks that crush other hardened and 'secure' mobile devices, and the work for the U.S. Marine Corps will push this state-of-the-art approach even further."
About Redwall Mobile
Redwall Mobile features multi-modal personas, each with its own unique apps, data, settings, and encryption keys; a radical and effective departure from container solutions or simple work and home user profiles. The multi-modal feature of Redwall Mobile delivers a cleaner operating environment because it secures the device at the kernel layer, below the application stack. This security architecture allows Redwall to provide customers with any mode of persona that their security policy requires. Each persona can be built with its own securely isolated apps, data, settings, and authentication requirements that define which processes can access which system features, drivers, files, and networks.
With this unique approach, Redwall Mobile puts client organizations in a more proactive posture limiting malicious user and virus activity by halting access to sensitive corporate (or personal) data below the application stack. Because Redwall operates below the application layer, it thwarts even highly-sophisticated kernel and driver exploits. Furthermore, Android devices hardened with Redwall are immune to threats like TowelRoot and KingRoot without the need for patches or updates of any kind, and will defend against future zero-day attacks without the need to push an update. No emergency patching is required in this set-and-forget mode of securing access to data and sensitive IP.
Because this technology is firmware-based, it can also be applied to IoT components such as medical instruments, smart appliances, SCADA devices, sensors, and other smart devices.
About Redwall Technologies, LLC
Redwall Technologies was founded in 2013 by a group of defense and intelligence practitioners who had a common desire to secure mobile points of intrusion into government datacenters. Rather than looking at signatures of viruses already in circulation, Redwall founders developed their product on the premise of what would keep us from hacking into a device? Redwall founders took to the offensive, searching for a means to prevent their own "white-hat" hacker team from compromising a mobile device. This led to their development team building device-hardening tools for smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices such as those in SCADA, CANBus, and similar networks.
Redwall's unique, patented technology is typically installed at organizations whose users rely heavily on the highest levels of device performance and availability, while ensuring military-grade security. The prototypical Redwall Technology user is a first responder in a disaster zone or member of a military operations team engaging in matters of national security whose field communications require adapting to fast-changing environments and threat landscapes. For more information on Redwall Technologies, please visit http://www.redwall.us

Our end-point security solution already allows users to have secure separation of multiple personas on a single device. This new work will enable us to add 'resilience' to thwart attempts to disable or deny services on the device.

On the heels of discovering recent Apple iTunes ransomware exploit, Gorelik will address evasive techniques employed by advanced threat groups

BE'ER SHEVA, ISRAEL AND BOSTON (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 04, 2019
Michael Gorelik, Chief Technology Officer at Morphisec, is set to present at the 3rd Annual CyberSecurity International Symposium in Chicago at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. With today's sophisticated attacks, such as those from threat actors FIN8, FIN7, and FIN6, engineered to bypass EDR solutions, Gorelik's presentation, "EDR: A False Sense of Security?," will look at case studies and cover the different relevant techniques employed by the advanced groups to bypass behavior-based solutions, static-based scanning solutions, and whitelisting-based solutions.
The presentation comes on the heels of Gorelik and his team at Morphisec Labs discovering the widely publicized Apple zero-day vulnerability that was exploited by Bitpaymer ransomware. The discovery was the latest in a series of high profile threats discovered by Morphisec Labs over the last few years, including hackers exploiting a backdoor with Avast's CCleaner and FIN8 targeting the hospitality industry. Morphisec provides a crucial, small-footprint memory-defense layer that easily deploys into a company's existing security infrastructure to form a simple, highly effective, cost-efficient prevention stack that is truly disruptive in thwarting advanced attacks like these.
Within his presentation, Gorelik will demonstrate bypass techniques using a framework developed for Red Teamers called Total Evasion, which is derived from the Inception, SharpShooter, DotNetToJScript and Metasploit frameworks, and is based on a set of widely-deployed fileless attack techniques. Gorelik will also examine in detail the full attack chain of a fileless, living-off-the-land attack, looking at the various mechanisms used by security tools to detect attacks, and analyzing each stage of the attack to understand the evasive techniques it uses to remain undetected.
Attendees will deconstruct the various mechanisms security tools employ to detect attacks and learn more about the evasive techniques attacks use at every stage to remain undetected. They'll also be able to connect their knowledge from the defense and attack aspects of cybersecurity to gain a deeper understanding of the way advanced attacks are engineered to bypass EDR.
Gorelik has more than nine years of hands-on experience leading diverse cybersecurity software development projects and experience in the software industry in general. Prior to Morphisec, he was the VP R&D at MotionLogic GmbH and before that served in senior leadership positions at Deutsche Telekom Labs. Gorelik holds Bsc and Msc degrees from the Computer Science department at Ben-Gurion University, focusing on low-level synchronization in different OS architectures. He also has several patents to his name within the IT space.
"Cyberattacks are growing more sophisticated every day and many are now engineered to bypass EDR solutions. Threat actors today now choose when, where and how to attack, knowing the various detection methods used by those systems," says Gorelik. "At Morphisec, my team and I have been uncovering how these threat actors are remaining undetected. I'm excited to present at the CyberSecurity International Symposium to help others gain a better understanding of how to prevent advanced and zero-day attacks."
The 3rd Annual CyberSecurity International Symposium takes place from November 4 to 5, 2019. Gorelik will be speaking in the 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Hackers and Evolving Threats: Perspectives and Insights slot on November 5, 2019, with IBM's Senior Cyber Threat Intelligence Analyst, Microsoft's Partner Security Architect David Branscome, Softchoice's Modern Workplace Practice Architect Ross Haven, and Offensive Security's CEO Ning Wang.
About Morphisec
Morphisec offers an entirely new level of innovation to customers in its Endpoint Threat Prevention product, delivering protection against the most advanced cyberattacks. The company's patented Moving Target Defense technology prevents threats others can't, including APTs, zero-days, ransomware, evasive fileless attacks and web-borne exploits. Morphisec provides a crucial, small-footprint memory-defense layer that easily deploys into a company's existing security infrastructure to form a simple, highly effective, cost-efficient prevention stack that is truly disruptive to today's existing cybersecurity model.

Growing innovator in financial technology (FinTech) and consulting expands board of directors to include 34-year Wells Fargo veteran.

EAGAN, MINN. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 04, 2019
Sapphire Software Services, Inc., a Minnesota-based software consulting firm and makers of Panoramix for Financial Advisors, announced an expansion of the board of directors today as part of a general organization meeting.
Joining the board is Joe Lucking. Lucking, a 34-year veteran of Wells Fargo, joined Sapphire in 2018 as the Director of Operations. Sapphire CEO, Chris Hastings, said "The expansion of our board, and the addition of Joe to the firm last year, reflect our continued growth as a company and the strength of Panoramix as a financial advisory platform."
Lucking will hold the position of Secretary on the board and serve as the Treasurer for the company. "Joe is a welcome addition to our management team." said Hastings, "He brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and executive leadership to the company, which will be critical as we continue to grow the company."
Sapphire Software Services, Inc., founded in 2003 as a consulting firm, developed Panoramix to meet a critical market opportunity. Over the last three years the platform base has grown considerably, with adding nearly 400 users from over 125 financial advisory firms nationwide and representing over $13 billion in assets. Over 60 percent of Panoramix users are independent registered investment advisor (RIA) offices, a key market segment that has shown tremendous growth potential. "Because we provide both a comprehensive performance reporting, billing and client portal solution combined with outstanding service at a low price point, we delivering tremendous value," said Hastings.
"Panoramix is laser-focused on billing and performance," Hastings said, "We also offer a client portal and other functionality and integrate with a wide variety of technology partners for specific functionality, enabling us to stay focused on what we do best, and not dilute the platform with extraneous features and functionality that are better delivered by our best in breed partners."
The industry-focused Technology Tools for Today (T3) 2018 survey, ranked Panoramix first in customer satisfaction among twenty-two firms in its category. 2018 and 2019 also saw Panoramix nominated as an industry Thought Leader by Wealth Management.
As a consulting company, Sapphire works with, and for, many of the top companies in Minnesota, across the upper Midwest, and nationally. Sapphire builds and maintains business-to-business applications for wholesale integration and product and inventory management, web applications for wholesale providers, custom applications servicing niche companies in the financial and medical sectors, and device integration software for document management. "We have talented developers solving difficult business problems in industries as divergent as construction and medical clinics," Hastings said. "It's important to us to have broad awareness of many topics across a variety of markets on our board, and Joe's experience brings that to us."
During his time with Wells Fargo, Lucking filled a wide variety of roles, both in the front and back offices. Most recently he held the technology manager position for Wells Fargo Insurance, Inc. and Wells Fargo Insurance Services USA, the two insurance arms—the former dedicated to personal and small business insurance and the latter to fulfilling corporate insurance needs. "With the successful transitions to the buyers completed, and the technology integrations fully removed from the bank, I elected to seek another exciting and challenging opportunity," said Lucking. "Sapphire, and the Panoramix platform specifically, are fantastic to work for and on. We have the best technology and the best price-point for the independent RIA, and it's my honor to be part of this truly amazing company."
Lucking also serves on the board of directors for a Minnesota based non-profit, The Lazarus Project, which teaches life skills to children on the autism spectrum. He is also the president of The Living History Society of Minnesota, Inc., a board position within that non-profit. The LHS creates immersive educational experiences for public events focused on the latter territorial and early statehood days of Minnesota—1855 to 1865. Lucking maintains a high level of volunteer dedication in a variety of capacities to the Saint Paul community.

Instana is Only APM Solution Able to Jump Directly Into Log Analysis Tool with Contextual Filtering, Creating the Quickest Path to Examining the Exact Logs Needed to Solve Problems

ORLANDO, FLA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 04, 2019
Instana, the leading provider of real-time application performance management (APM) solutions for cloud-native microservice applications, today announced new capabilities that make it the only application management solution that can jump right into a log analysis tool with all context of the application and component under investigation.
"IT teams responsible for deploying and maintaining today's mission critical applications must react quickly, especially when attacking service issues," said Pete Abrams, COO and Instana co-founder. "It's important to have tools that work together to optimize troubleshooting. Instana's ability to kick off a log analysis solution, with a visualization of the exact logs needed for examination significantly reduces the time it takes to actually solve problems."
The first log analysis tools for which Instana is rolling out its one-click integration are Splunk and Humio. The interaction is handled via built-in buttons in the Instana GUI on key component dashboards (such as Servers, Containers and Kubernetes). When the button is clicked, Instana starts up an instance of the log analysis tool, along with a pre-executed analysis filter into the exact logs of the application components and associated infrastructure needing examination. TIming is also synchronized, meaning users won't have to search for the specific log or timeframe needed to solve problems.
"Log analysis is an important part of the troubleshooting process, especially when integrated with application performance management solutions like Instana. Humio's unlimited plan enables users to log everything, giving them autonomy to correlate Instana metrics with relevant logs from their environment," said Cinthia Portugal, vice president of marketing at Humio. "Humio's one-click integration and simple query language makes it easy to get started. Our modern architecture runs real-time searches on millions of streaming events per second, and because Instana pulls the exact infrastructure logs associated with problem components, getting the root-cause analysis is fast and easy."
Unlike traditional APM tools, Instana's automated Application Performance Monitoring (APM) solution discovers all application service components and application infrastructure, including Cloud infrastructure such as Azure, orchestration infrastructure like Kubernetes and Docker, application services and DevOps processes. Instana automatically deploys monitoring sensors for each part of the application technology stack and traces all application requests – without requiring any human configuration or even application restarts. The solution detects application and infrastructure changes in real-time, adjusting its own models and visualizing the changes and impacts to performance in seconds.
The new log analysis integration is being highlighted, along with the recently announced support for .Net Core monitoring, in software demos at Instana's Microsoft Ignite booth (number 2404). Additional information can be found at https://instana.com/log-analysis.

New classroom tool uses MAP Growth scores to automatically generate a personalized learning plan for each student. Removes the manual work of differentiating instruction while keeping teachers and students at the center of learning.

PORTLAND, ORE. AND MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 04, 2019
Not-for-profit organizations NWEA and Khan Academy announced today the general availability launch of MAP Accelerator — a powerful new classroom tool that integrates MAP Growth assessments and Khan Academy to empower teachers to easily and effectively differentiate instruction for students with diverse academic needs. The new tool, announced in June, is now available for schools for the 2020-2021 school year.
This fall, five school districts launched pilots of MAP Accelerator with 180,000 students. Feedback to date exceeds expectations. The districts are:

Clark County School District in Las Vegas, Nevada

Glendale Unified School District in Glendale, California

Jefferson County School District in Louisville, Kentucky

Madera Unified School District in Madera, California

Pajaro Valley Unified School District in Watsonville, California

Developed jointly by NWEA and Khan Academy, MAP Accelerator removes the manual work of differentiating instruction and helps teachers quickly and easily personalize learning for each student. The tool imports MAP Growth scores to automatically generate personalized-learning pathways on Khan Academy. Teachers can then adjust suggested goals in the learning pathways or accept all goals with a single click.
"MAP Accelerator meets the individual needs of each student," said Sal Khan, founder and CEO of Khan Academy. "Our goal is to encourage every student to own their education while allowing their teachers to adjust learning goals based on what they know about each student."
Clark County School District, the fifth-largest district in the nation, is piloting MAP Accelerator with more than 145,000 students and 3,600 teachers.
"Our partnership with NWEA and Khan Academy is a game changer for our students and teachers. Partnering with two of the nation's best not-for-profits provides impactful tools for teachers to create customized instructional plans for our students," said Clark County School District Superintendent Jesus F. Jara. "It provides teachers with information to leverage data on individual students' learning pathways and gives them the ability to adapt to particular instructional needs so our students can experience academic growth."
Pajaro Valley Unified School District is also implementing MAP Accelerator this fall with 4,000 students. The district has used Khan Academy as a student and teacher resource to support individualized learning for several years. Combining Khan Academy with NWEA's MAP Growth assessment allows Pajaro teachers to identify students who need extra help and inspire students who are ready to move ahead.
"Our participation in this pilot is aligned with our district's vision to support each student to excel academically through personalized instruction," said Dr. Michelle Rodriguez, Superintendent of Schools for Pajaro Valley Unified School District. "MAP Accelerator is an exciting opportunity to provide access to authentic personalized learning for every student."
MAP Accelerator for math is available for grades 3-8 in English and Spanish, with English-Language Arts support planned for the 2021-2022 school year. Content includes practice problems, real-time feedback, scaffolded help, instructional videos and articles. An intuitive teacher dashboard provides real-time data and reports to track student progress and analyze the impact of MAP Accelerator in the classroom. The easy-to-use tool is compatible with most popular operating systems, browsers, and devices—including iPads and Chromebooks.
"We are very excited to officially launch MAP Accelerator to classrooms across the country, furthering our commitment to provide teachers with innovative resources that support their efforts to help their students learn and grow," said Chris Minnich, CEO of NWEA. "We have been truly inspired by the initial feedback from our early adopters, who have embraced the new tool. We look forward to working in partnership with Khan Academy to expand MAP Accelerator to new subjects and grade levels."
MAP Growth provides a precise measurement of a student's academic performance and growth. As a computer-adaptive assessment, it adjusts to each student's responses to provide individual personalized results about what each student knows, and is ready to learn next— whether on, above, or below grade level. MAP Growth assessment is taken three times a year by 11 million students in grades K-12 for Math, English-Language Arts and Science.
Khan Academy's mastery learning system is a trusted online learning resource for teachers, providing access to high-quality, standards-aligned content, teacher tools and reports that help unlock student potential.

California based HashCash Consultants, is working on quantum computing with the aim to enhance private key security with quantum encryption.

PALO ALTO, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 04, 2019
California based Software Company HashCash Consultants moves into the quantum space with the promise to provide enhanced and unbreakable private key security. The company is working to fortify its Blockchain Network HC Net, with quantum encryption.
Sharing the company's plans with media, Raj Chowdhury, CEO of HashCash Consultants said "Quantum encryption holds the key to the next generation of online security. We are looking at a future where cyber-attacks will be least of our worries. It is an exciting time for the tech community as we harness the powers of quantum mechanics."
HashCash's Quantum Plans:
All of HashCash's applications are backed by Blockchain which uses public-key cryptography. A combination of the public and the private key is used to process transactions, and ensure security and privacy-preserving protocols. The public key is the address of the wallet that network participants can see and send coins to and the private key is the one with which one can access their wallet.
HashCash's Blockchain network HC Net is where all transactions take place and it boasts of the best private key security. But as the world advances into the quantum space, present-day encryptions may become vulnerable. Keeping long term security in mind HashCash is working on quantum computing to strengthen the private key security using quantum encryption.
How HashCash is using Quantum Encryption:
Quantum encryption or quantum cryptography, harnesses laws of physics to transmit a secret key in the safest and secure manner. The current methods of transmitting secret keys are backed by complex mathematical equations. It might work in the present day scenario but from the future perspective, there is a high chance of the encryption getting compromised. So for long term security quantum cryptography is the best option.
Quantum Key Distribution:
HashCash uses QKD or Quantum Key Distribution as a subset of quantum cryptography to enhance private key security. It is being used to create private keys to send encrypted messages from one location to another. Because of complexities and multiple probabilities in quantum mechanics, the hackers cannot secretly copy the key. It requires extensive computation and breaking the laws of quantum physics to decode the key, making the process of encryption unbreakable. This ultimately provides the users with the safest passage to communicate and conduct transactions with one another through HC Net.
About HashCash Consultants:
HashCash is a global software company. HashCash Blockchain products enable enterprises to move assets and settle payments across borders in real-time for Remittances, Trade Finance, Payment Processing and more. HashCash runs US-based digital asset exchange, PayBito & digital asset payment processor, BillBitcoins. HashCash offers exchange and payment processor software solutions, ICO Services and customized use cases. HashCash propels advancement in technology through Blockchain1o1 programs and its investment arm, Satoshi Angels. HashCash offers solutions in AI, Big Data and IoT though its platforms, products & services. HashCash solves the toughest challenges by executing innovative digital transformation strategies for clients around the world.

Quantum encryption holds the key to the next generation of online security. We are looking at a future where cyber-attacks will be least of our worries. It is an exciting time for the tech community as we harness the powers of quantum mechanics.

The unique app enables face-to-face communication for people who are deafblind without the need for interpreters

WILMINGTON, DEL. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019
Orbit Research today announced the launch of the Orbit Chat Communication System. People who are deaf and blind typically communicate with others through various means including tactile sign language and often require a trained interpreter since most people are not familiar with such methods. The Orbit Chat system changes this forever by offering a free solution that enables a deafblind person to use their Orbit Reader 20 braille display and an app running on a smartphone or tablet to communicate with a sighted, blind or deaf person. The system can be used in any situation – in public settings such as markets, restaurants and classrooms or in private conversations.
Through specialized interfaces on Orbit Research's braille and tactile graphics products, and an app that runs on smartphones or tablets, the system connects via Bluetooth to provide the breakthrough ability to converse using a simple chat-style experience.
"While mobile phones and refreshable braille displays have enabled deafblind people to connect to the digital world, face-to-face communication has remained a challenge. We are thrilled with the introduction of the Orbit Chat. It will be a game-changer for the deafblind community world-wide." said Akhil Paul, Director of Sense International India, one of the world's leading organizations working for people with deafblindness
"With the Orbit Chat system, we are excited and humbled to be able to provide the basic facility of communication that most of us take for granted." said Dr. Gina Spagnoli, Orbit Research's founder. "With no additional hardware or software to purchase, a deafblind person can utilize her Orbit Reader 20 braille display to engage in conversation with anyone using a smartphone or tablet. Previous solutions cost thousands of dollars and required heavy and cumbersome hardware and even the most basic ones required the use of external keyboards connected to an expensive braille note-taker. Even as a complete communications-only solution, the Orbit Reader 20 coupled with the Orbit Chat app is less expensive than anything else available by an order of magnitude while offering unmatched portability, reliability and ease of use. The Orbit Chat is yet another step in our journey towards a level playing field."
The system allows a sighted person to use a familiar chat or messaging user-interface to type messages using the phone or tablet's on-screen keyboard, which are immediately translated and displayed on the deafblind user's Orbit Reader 20 device in braille. The deafblind user types her messages in braille using the braille keypad on the Orbit Reader 20 and these are translated to plain text and instantly displayed on the phone or tablet. The app is self-voicing, which allows a blind person to use it to communicate with a deafblind person without needing any special screen-reading software.
The system also includes other innovative features such as a broadcast mode which allows the deafblind user to send messages to multiple people who have the app installed, the ability to save conversations on the Orbit Reader 20 as well as on the app for later review and a file transfer feature to exchange files between the Orbit Reader 20 and the phone or tablet. The system allows the use of contracted and uncontracted braille in English and offers support for other languages through localization.
The app is available now for free download from the Google Play Store and the Orbit Research website: http://www.orbitresearch.com/product/orbit-chat
Orbit Research also offers a bundled solution including the Orbit Reader 20 and an Android tablet with the Orbit Chat system pre-installed, providing the most affordable full-featured communication and accessibility solution for people who are deafblind.
About Orbit Research:
Orbit Research develops and manufactures innovative and affordable products that enable an independent lifestyle for people who are blind or visually impaired. Founded with the mission to fulfill the urgent need for affordable assistive technology products, the company has introduced breakthrough products like the Orion family of accessible scientific and graphing calculators, the iBill Talking Banknote Identifier and the Orbit Reader 20 refreshable braille display that define the state-of-the-art in features, functionality, convenience and affordability.

DevOpsUniversity.org will democratize and transform DevOps individuals and teams through a Free Workforce Readiness Platform by personalizing the learning experience using AI, adaptive learning and multi-modal training delivery.

AUSTIN, TEXAS (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019
QuickStart Learning Inc., the IT skills training organization that introduced CLIPP, announced the launch of DevOps University, a new venture committed to being an education provider and a skills and career development center for people interested in getting into DevOps. The University will also help organizations achieve their DevOps goals and KPIs through its workforce readiness platform.
"DevOps University's mission will be to serve two purposes." Said Ed Sattar, CEO. "It would be the platform that enables people to get into a DevOps career, and secondly, serve as a workforce readiness platform for organizations to help their DevOps teams meet their goals through an integrated multi-modality personalized learning experience using AI."
"There are more than 50,000 jobs listed online for DevOps Engineers and Managers in the US alone. This is in-line with the prevalent IT skills gap in the industry. DevOps University will help people looking to start a career in IT and turn them into DevOps Engineers, Managers, and Leaders through our DevOps boot camps & subscriptions."
Sattar further said, "Most organizations struggle with DevOps deployment in a multi-cloud environment, automating testing through the DevOps Cycle, standardization of DevOps practices, getting legacy and waterfall teams to transition to DevOps, and getting ROI on their DevOps investment. All of these challenges are indicative of either the workforce not being ready, or not having the right skill set to meet their goals. QuickStart's DevOpsUniversity.org, with the fusion of an AI based workforce readiness platform, and industry's top DevOps experts and learning assets, will create future DevOps leaders. Further, we are proud to democratize it by making significant features of our offering free of cost to individuals and organizations."
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there will be roughly 1.3 million occupational openings for IT professionals by 2026. The Bureau's numbers indicate what many are calling an IT skills gap, i.e. there will be more IT jobs in the market than IT professionals to fill them. DevOps Engineers make over $100,000 a year with the more skilled and experienced making over $140,000 a year. QuickStart's DevOps Academy aims to create skilled DevOps engineers, managers, and leaders to fill the gap and to help organizations optimize their DevOps investment to maximize ROI.
About QuickStart
QuickStart is an Austin based Microsoft Gold Partner accredited by Cisco, NetApp, ITIL, CompTIA, and EC Council. The organization uses its proprietary learning methodology and workforce readiness platform (CLIPP) to transform IT teams.

Learning Explorer earns Edvocate Finalist Award for Best Lesson Planning App or Tool

SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019

AI-Backed technology recognizes when intranet content is stale and helps keep it up-to-date

REDWOOD SHORES, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019
Simpplr, maker of internal communications and employee engagement software (that is marketed as today's modern employee intranet), announced the launch of their new Auto-Governance Engine. Using backend AI, the engine helps surface and remove outdated content to ensure the intranet stays up-to-date with trusted information.
According to Simpplr Research, one of the primary reasons intranets fail is because they eventually become content dumping grounds. Very few businesses have had the processes and discipline to enforce content quality and keep their intranets up-to-date. This perpetuates a downward spiral because employees no longer trust the resource, eventually stop using the intranet, and struggle to find reliable resources.
"Today's employees struggle with information overload, and constant change makes it's difficult to maintain reliable sources of truth. This makes it hard for employees to do their work and stay engaged," says Kathy Krumpe, COO of Future State, a communications consultancy and Simpplr customer. "We're excited about how Simpplr's Auto-Governance Engine will help us keep content up to date with reduced effort."
How the Auto-Governance Engine works: The platform provides a variety of backend technologies to evaluate what content gets consumed and what becomes stale over time. The engine checks for content redundancies, monitors usage, incorporates search data, and allows content authors to set archiving parameters to help surface potentially outdated content to administrators. Simpplr spent over a year with customers in beta environments evaluating how content gets consumed and how machine learning can help reduce stale content.
"Like most software industries, machine learning and artificial intelligence show a lot of promise for innovation in our space, but it's important first to understand what problems need solving," says Dhiraj Sharma, founder, and CEO of Simpplr. "We've created an engine using AI on the backend to help keep intranet content up-to-date."

BestRx Pharmacy Software, a digital pharmacy management software company, announced the opening of its first branch office on the west coast., located in Irwindale, California. In addition to the west coast office, BestRx is also doubling their headquarters by occupying additional space in their current building.

OAK BROOK, ILL. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019
BestRx Pharmacy Software, a digital pharmacy management software company, announced today the opening of its first branch office on the west coast. The branch office is located at 5200 Irwindale Avenue in Irwindale, California and just recently opened on November 1st.
The west coast office is BestRx's latest step in expanding its geographical footprint to accommodate its rapidly growing customer base. BestRx has had staff working in the LA area for the past several years, but until now they had been working remotely from their homes. With the opening of the branch office, it will bring their staff together for improved collaboration and facilitate greater teamwork. Along with the current staff moving into the office, BestRx will be rapidly hiring over the next few months to add significantly to their west coast operations.
"The new office opens up opportunities for adding new support staff to meet demand." says Bart Rogacewicz, Senior Operations Manager of BestRx. "With this location, we'll be able to provide the support that our current customers have grown accustomed to throughout the entire business day, regardless of time zone. We can fulfill certain tasks with customers during the off hours and provide more technicians for our constantly growing customer base."
At their Oak Brook headquarters, BestRx's current office space has reached maximum capacity. So, in addition to the opening of their west coast office, on December 1st the company will be doubling its headquarters space by occupying additional space in their current building. This expansion will create room for new hires and will also include space dedicated to improving the overall well-being of their staff.
Hemal Desai, President of BestRx, said: "We have been fortunate to have been growing at an incredible pace over the past few years, both in terms of our staff and our client base. By expanding our offices in both Chicago and Los Angeles, it allows us to keep adding talented members to the BestRx team and continue our mission to help independent pharmacies serve their patients and communities."
In 1985, BestRx was founded by a software developer, Yogesh Desai. While helping his pharmacist friends, he learned that small pharmacy owners had a need for innovative pharmacy management software to operate their businesses more efficiently. In addition to meeting potential customers' needs, Desai visualized a business with the power to shape the future of healthcare and leave a lifelong impact on patient care and recovery.
Today, BestRx continues to thrive as a family-run business. The company has a team comprised of developers, support, and sales departments, along with administrative staff and a licensed pharmacist. Together the BestRx team serves a growing customer base of over 1,200 independent pharmacies across the U.S. As their team expands, BestRx continues to maintain its core values while providing easy-to-use software that addresses the unique demands of independent, community pharmacies.

"The value stream — and value stream management — have become essential contributors to DevOps success, and ConnectALL's groundbreaking integration platform is a key component of that effort," said Mark Lewis, Orasi Senior Vice President of Sales. When we formed an alliance with ConnectALL in 2018, we knew its innovative technology and dedicated leadership would blow away our expectations, and they have."

Cornerstone's employee pay program 'CP3'(Crypto Pay & Pension Plan) to be released in Southeast Asia during Quarter 1 of 2020, through partnership with Malaysian based financial based provider Neurogine.

SUN PRAIRIE, WIS. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019
Cornerstone Global Management, LLC is partnering with Malaysian based Neurogine to allow employees in Southeast Asian the ability to automatically convert any portion of their pay into cryptocurrencies through their revolutionary program, CP3 (Crypto Pay & Pension Plan).
Cornerstone announced last week in Las Vegas at World Crypto Conference that employees within the United States are the first to utilize the product by signing up for its Beta version of the program, with registration having started on Saturday, October 26th.
CP3 will empower US employees to designate any portion of their pay to be automatically converted to Bitcoin, Litecoin and/or Ethereum upon direct deposit to CP3's partner Uphold. The crypto(s) are then immediately sent upon conversion to any cryptocurrency wallet(s) identified ahead of time by the employee. The amount of pay and amount of each cryptocurrency can also change on any given pay period, with destinations varying from cold or warm storage wallets, to interest bearing and even IRA plans that support cryptocurrencies.
This will now be possible in Southeast Asia within the first half of 2020 with Neurogine as the initial direct deposit and conversion to crypto processor.
Neurogine, a Pan-Asian financial technology provider operating in Asia since 2014, has established itself within SE Asia through partnerships with entities such as AllInPay Financial Holdings Co Ltd, CasperLabs LLC, DSI Global Sdn Bhd, and PT Fortuna Media. It has boasts a flagship product called nPay, a white label, fully integrated mobile payment solution used by companies such as Ali Pay, We Chat Pay, and Union Pay.
Neurogine's Chief Executive Officer, Owen Chen, is excited for the potential this partnership brings to the entire Asia Pacific area:
"This is an amazing partnership. Neurogine is making remarkable inroads into key growth markets in Asia, and this partnership will capture latent demand for crypto payroll services in the next few months like Indonesia, Japan and China. Neurogine has already penetrated markets in Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia and Indonesia, by engaging banks, telecommunication operators, Governments and theme park operators about the potential of this program."
Chen goes on to say, "We see the benefits of this partnership possibly being applied to address current economic and social challenges in Asia Pacific as well. Our partnership with Cornerstone Global Management, LLC will further realize our ambitions of connecting Asia by providing a common salary based platform. We are also confident of expansion beyond any initial efforts, as many banks and organizations have proven receptive to the thought of crypto payroll services. The idea is right, the model is attractive and the market in Asia is warming up to this newer and better way."
Cornerstone's CEO and Co-Founder, David Schwartz, agrees on the potential within Asia as a whole and what this means for mass adoption on a global scale:
"Announcing the United States as the first region of implementation for CP3 was obviously a big step forward as we help to make crypto feel just as easy and comfortable within a person's life as the pay they would normally get from their employer." He continues by saying, "I would put this deal with Neurogine right up there with the US and Uphold, regarding significance. The Asian workforce is already predominantly 35 years or younger, which supports the idea that someone's option of payment should reflect their lifestyle choices. Southeast Asia is one of the leading regions in the world when it comes to adoption of cryptocurrencies, so this made perfect sense."
Given the current state of the global economy, allocating a portion of your salary into cryptocurrencies may just be one of the best hedging options one can choose to make. Visit https://cornerstoneglobalmgt.com today to learn more.
The world is full of options. How you're paid should be one of them.
About Neurogine:
Neurogine provides mobile banking, mobile payment and exchange solutions to banks, financial institutions, telecommunication operators, Governments, municipalities and large townships in Asia. Neurogine's flagship products include nPay, a white-label fully integrated mobile payment solution with geo-location conveniences and payment options for Ali Pay, WeChat Pay, Union Pay, Visa and Mastercard with money broking facilities, and nMPex, its mobile payment platform for financial institutions and banks enabling cross-border and multi-currency mobile payments for any of their account user in every ASEAN nation plus Hong Kong and China.
About Cornerstone Global Management, LLC:
Cornerstone Global Management, LLC is a service oriented company created to provide awareness, education and viable products based around respectable and trusted cryptocurrencies. Its revolutionary CP3 (Crypto Pay & Pension Plan) program provides employees the opportunity to automatically convert any portion of their pay into crypto and have it sent immediately to any wallet(s) that holds Bitcoin, Litecoin or Ethereum.

INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019
Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization and hyperconverged solutions, today announced that it has been recognized by global research house, GigaOm, for its noteworthy capabilities in edge-core cloud integration, data protection, ease of use, feature set and TCO.

The report highlights the success of Scale Computing's backup and DR capabilities, outlining how its easy-to-use solution for backup and DR of single and distributed edge-cloud infrastructures allows administrators to take snapshots of VMs in remote locations and centralize them on a central repository, in the cloud, or in a core data center cluster, that can also be used for DR purposes. GigaOm's research also found that the HC3 solution from Scale Computing is notable for its focus on system simplicity when it comes to the user experience.
Scale Computing is recognized in the report for its impact on flexibility, with the findings stating that the company has built one of the most complete end-to-end solutions for SMB, distributed enterprise, and edge computing use cases. One of the key drivers of this flexibility is the noted ease-of-use with HC3, which is described to be designed perfectly for small teams with limited time resources, as the management console is intuitive and integrated within the cluster, which ensures inexperienced operators can keep the system always efficient.
"It is a great honor to receive this recognition from GigaOm for our success in those areas that are so vital to businesses when choosing a HCI vendor," comments Jeff Ready, CEO at Scale Computing. "The report is further evidence of our continued commitment to providing our customers with ease of use, lower TCO and exceptional data protection among other benefits. With Scale Computing HC3, we are dedicated to continuing to enable businesses of all sizes to succeed with an easy to use, highly available, cost-effective solution for IT professionals, that grows and expands as their organization does.

Texas state and government employees can now be better equipped to prevent phishing and other social engineering incidents with security awareness training and simulated phishing from KnowBe4

TAMPA BAY, FLA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019
KnowBe4, the provider of the world's largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced that it is now certified by the Texas Department of Information Resources for state and local government employees in Texas.
House Bill 3834 (86R) was created to require that state and local government employees take mandatory cybersecurity training to help better protect the government. It requires that the Texas Department of Information Resources, in consultation with the Texas Cybersecurity Council, certify cybersecurity training programs for state and local government employees. KnowBe4 has been selected to be certified. The course requirements include a focus on information security habits and procedures that protect information resources and teach best practices for detecting, assessing, reporting and addressing information security threats.
"We're excited for the opportunity to bring our security awareness training and simulated phishing to more of the government employees who work for the state of Texas," said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. "State and local governments have been making headlines recently due to an onslaught of ransomware attacks. Government organizations really need this type of training to build up their human firewall, which will help to protect them against the ongoing problem of social engineering."
An organization can measure its Phish-proneTM Percentage, which indicates how many of their employees are likely to fall for a phishing or social engineering scam, to evaluate the security mindset of its employees. Every organization regardless of size and vertical is susceptible to phishing and social engineering without computer-based training. The average initial baseline Phish-prone Percentage is around 30% and after one year of testing and simulated phishing, drops down to just 2%.

Financial Technology Laboratories, Inc. adds trade reporting and compliance capabilities to BondPub, a state-of-the-art software system for sell-side fixed income traders centralizing quote distribution, order aggregation, and trade reporting.

SEARCY, ARK. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 05, 2019
Financial Technology Laboratories, Inc. (FTLabs) announces new system enhancements for the BondPub fixed-income execution management system for sell-side bond trading desks, providing clearing connectivity with the major clearing platforms to allow for straight-through processing of trades, trade and account level compliance checking, and trade compliance reporting.
Built for the Microsoft Windows platform and designed by industry experts in electronic trading, the BondPub execution management system (EMS) enables bond traders to efficiently control the real-time outbound distribution of their corporate, agency, CD, and municipal bond market quotes, aggregate inbound order flow from the most requested bond trading venues, and report trades to clearing.
The BondPub application software connected through the BondHub managed connectivity network gives sell-side bond traders a competitive edge by providing them with a clean and intuitive user-interface where they can manage quote pricing and distribution to multiple fixed income alternative trading system (ATS) venues in one place. Orders from all connected trading venues are aggregated in a single order blotter. A consolidated trade blotter supports trade reporting to the major clearing platforms.
"When American Capital Partners began expanding our fixed income division we needed a platform that would enable us to control all our ATS markets with one system. We chose FTLabs BondPub as our platform. They also built in straight-through processing so all our ATS executions instantly report and book with our clearing firm. FTLabs is turning out to be a great fit.", said John Picerno, Head of Trading for American Capital Partners, Inc. of Hauppauge, New York.
BondPub protects the sell-side desk from broken trades and overselling with built-in distribution controls that automatically reduce quantities or remove quotes on all other trading venues the instant an order is received. It incorporates a high-performance calculation engine that supports real-time quote pricing on a yield, percent of par, or spread-to-benchmark basis.
BondPub securely connects clients to the FTLabs cloud-hosted BondHub managed connectivity network where quotes, orders, and trade notifications are exchanged with data vendors, trading venues, and clearing firms. BondHub acts as a shared integration platform as a service (IPaaS) so that client firms do not have to manage and support their own individual connectivity to industry vendors and services.
To learn more about the benefits of the BondPub sell-side fixed income execution management system, download a brochure with more information, or to request an online demonstration, visit the product page for BondPub execution management system or call (321) 248-4248 ext 103.

NXTsoft's ThreatAdvice cybersecurity training and awareness meets the standards for local governments in the state of Texas the the contractors that serve those entities.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 06, 2019
NXTsoft's ThreatAdvice Cybersecurity Education solution was named by the state of Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) as a certified provider of cybersecurity education and resources for Texas and local government employees and state contractors. As defined in Chapter 2054 of Texas Government Code, local government includes a county, municipality, special district, school district, or other political subdivision of the state.
According to House Bill 3834 the Texas DIR in consultation with the previously established cybersecurity council was required to certify at least five cybersecurity training programs for state use. The ThreatAdvice Cybersecurity training program was certified by the state of Texas on November 1, 2019. To be certified, a cybersecurity program must focus on informing information security habits and procedures that protect information resources and teach best practices for detecting, assessing, reporting and addressing information security threats.
"NXTsoft's ThreatAdvice Cybersecurity Training is poised to educate state of Texas entities of all sizes as well as companies that contract with the state of Texas," said David Brasfield, CEO of NXTsoft. "ThreatAdvice has worked closely with the state of Alabama to implement cybersecurity education and training in that state and understands the needs cybersecurity needs of government organizations and their affiliates," he said.
Among others the state of Texas requires that the following receive yearly cybersecurity training through a certified program:

Employees who use a computer to complete at least 25 percent of their work

Elected and appointed officials, regardless of whether they use a computer to perform at least 25 percent of their duties

Any contractor who has access to a state computer system or database

State agencies are bound by state procurement regulations and therefore must select a program that is offered through DIR's cooperative contracts. If a state agency wants to procure an item available from DIR's contracts and services program through an avenue other than a DIR contract, the agency must request an exemption.

iland Secure Cloud helps town migrate data and solutions to the cloud in strategic move to ensure city-wide operations continue working when disasters strike

HOUSTON (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 06, 2019
iland, an industry-leading provider of secure application and data protection cloud services built on proven VMware technology, today announced it has been selected by the city of Geneseo, Ill. to provide cloud-based data backup and disaster recovery for the town's municipal services.
Geneseo is using iland's Secure Cloud Backup for Veeam and Disaster-Recovery-as-a-Service (DRaaS) solutions to help keep city-wide public works services including police, electric, water, waste, and roadway running and available at all times. iland is paving the way to Geneseo's first move to the cloud, spurred by a major gas main break that forced an evacuation of City Hall and shut down services for hours.
After the incident, Geneseo IT Director Garrett Griswold initiated a search for a cloud service provider that supports the city's current VMware environment and Veeam on-premises storage. After evaluating several companies, Griswold recommended the Geneseo City Council select iland for its DRaaS and Secure Cloud Backup for Veeam solutions.
"I have been wanting to work with iland for a long time, and it took something like a major gas leak to be able to finally engage with them," Griswold said. "Part of the reason I chose iland is based on their reputation for providing disaster recovery services and their ability to integrate easily with my VMware and Veeam environments. Since getting started, they continue to outperform my expectations."
"iland is proud to help Geneseo and hundreds of cities around the world meet their IT challenges through a thoughtful and intelligent migration to the cloud," said Brian Ussher, iland president and co-founder. "Whether it's a team of certified IT compliance experts or cloud architects, iland has the resources and proven technology to help state and local governments address issues like ransomware, power outages and other disasters with cloud-based solutions that are affordable, simple and pain free."
"IT departments within state and local governments are often under-resourced, working with much smaller budgets than those enjoyed by their business peers. This makes it difficult for many to advance their operations to the cloud and protect themselves from disasters and malicious ransomware attacks," said Dorothy Farris, vice president of SLED Sales, Americas at Veeam. "iland and Veeam help fill that void when it comes to backing up critical data to a secure cloud environment. Together, we're connecting some of the smallest and largest city governments to the cloud with an easy-to-use and reliable cloud data management solution."
iland Secure DRaaS enables IT workloads to be replicated from virtual or physical environments to a secure cloud infrastructure across nine global data centers. iland provides more than a decade of disaster recovery expertise, working closely with partners like Veeam to protect on-premise data and workloads, in addition to support for VMware vCloud environments. iland DRaaS leads the industry with a placement as a Leader in the Gartner DRaaS Magic Quadrant for four straight years.
iland Secure Cloud Backup with Veeam Cloud Connect is an easy and cost-effective cloud solution for offsite backup and archives with direct integration and 100 percent compatibility with Veeam's industry-leading backup and replication software.
Pricing for iland BaaS and DRaaS solutions is flexible and precise, giving customers the ability to make monthly payments based on their workloads and data storage needs. iland also provides state and local customers with iland Catalyst, a complementary cloud assessment tool that simplifies the journey to the cloud and makes it easier for organizations using VMware to model and right size cloud requirements for cloud backup, disaster recovery or migration without costly over-provisioning or detrimentally under-provisioning.
About iland
iland is a global cloud service provider of secure and compliant hosting for infrastructure (IaaS), disaster recovery (DRaaS), and backup as a service (BaaS). They are recognized by industry analysts as a leader in disaster recovery.

DocASAP's point of care capabilities enable acute care, ambulatory care and emergency department staff to save time matching patients and health plan members with the right provider and setting at the right time, while the access center capabilities help call centers drive the same efficiencies in navigating patients and members to the optimal provider. Both facilitate frictionless, real-time and accurate online appointment scheduling and integrate with practice management systems to automate complex scheduling intake rules, protocols and workflows. The point of care and access center capabilities, in addition to the company's consumer-facing patient access solutions, can now accommodate non-traditional visit types, such as telehealth/virtual appointments, walk-ins, home visits and phone appointments. According to an Accenture 2019 Digital Health Consumer Survey, more than half of consumers are going to non-traditional healthcare settings for conditions such as flu shots and treating physical injuries.
"DocASAP's consumer-facing digital solutions are helping us address the access needs of our diverse patient population in an effort to create better patient experiences," said Dr. Ashok Rai, president and CEO of Prevea Health. "By implementing DocASAP's access center capabilities, we'll improve care coordination efficiencies and expand our goal of delivering frictionless access."
Other new platform tools include pre-check-in capabilities. Patients can now get approximate wait times for various locations and join a "virtual queue" to hold a place in line ahead of a walk-in or urgent care visit. Also, DocASAP's new registration/intake capabilities enable health systems to move toward a paperless intake process by transitioning the capture of patient demographics, health insurance and questions asked on behalf of the provider, from patient check-in to the digital booking flow process.
"As patient access and care coordination increasingly become priorities among health systems and health plans, organizations are looking to innovate around making access to care easier while engaging patients and members throughout their healthcare journey," said Puneet Maheshwari, co-founder and CEO of DocASAP. "With DocASAP Point of Care and DocASAP Access Center, our platform offers an even more comprehensive approach to supporting their access and care coordination strategies, while solidifying DocASAP's position as the leading patient access and engagement platform in the market."

Recognized for her significant contributions to the User Group community, Kim is the third member of the New View Strategies team to receive this prestigious award.

MILWAUKEE (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 07, 2019
The All-Star Awards are the honest honor bestowed upon Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central / NAV User Group members in recognition of their significant contributions of time and expertise to educate and connect the greater BCUG/NAVUG community. All-Star Award recipients are nominated and voted on by the User Group community, and only three are awarded each year. Eighteen nominees were recognized this year, and the winners were announced during the annual User Group Community Summit in Orlando, FL.
"It's hard to put into words how amazing it is to be nominated for an All-Star award along with all the other nominees," states Kim Congleton, one of three NVS founders and owners. "There are a lot of extraordinary people who dedicate and volunteer their time to this community. I am humbled and honored to be an All-Star in the D365/NAV/BC User group. This is an amazing community to be a part of, and I thank everyone who has shared their knowledge and their friendship with me over the years."
As a recognized supply chain expert across all versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Kim focuses on helping companies optimize their setup and use of NAV and BC in the warehouse and greater supply chain to be more efficient and responsive. The All-Star Award recognizes the significant efforts Kim has provided to the community over the past year, including leading six webinars, answering numerous questions in the community forum, presenting a combined five sessions at this year's Focus and Summit events, leading four User Group Academy pre-Summit classes and workshops, writing exam questions for the Warehouse Management Professional Certificate, and serving as a Track Leader and Member of the Programming Committee.
"Kim has been such an advocate for volunteering within the community," shared Laurie Kuehl, BCUG/NAVUG Program Manager. "From Academy instructor, Summit & webinar presenter, past Board of Advisors member, magazine contributor, member of the Credentialing Council and five years' service on Programming Committee – I don't believe there is anything Kim hasn't done for us all! I'm looking forward to 2020 and continuing to work closely with Kim as she continues to share her knowledge with others in so many ways!"
Mark Rhodes, Chief Strategy Officer with NVS, couldn't agree more: "As one of the creators of the BCUG/NAVUG All-Star Program during my tenure with Dynamic Communities, I could not be more thrilled that Kim was recognized by her peers and the greater community for her deep passion and contributions of expertise. Kim has always epitomized the essence of community. I cannot count how many times she has offered to fill in for a speaker that had to bow out of a presentation. In fact, at one conference, Kim filled in for a speaker and led an incredible session, even though she saw the slides for the first time five minutes before the session."
Kim is the third NVS team member to receive this prestigious award; co-founds Kerry (Rosvold) Peters and Amanda Mayer both won in 2015, the program's first year. The full list of All-Star Award winners is available on the BCUG/NAVUG website.

New partnership enables customers to seamlessly deliver modern and legacy Windows applications to Azure Windows 10 desktops while reducing total cost of ownership.

IRVINE, CALIF. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 07, 2019
Numecent is proud to announce that it is now an approved partner of the Microsoft Windows Virtual Desktop (WVD) program. This program expands on Numecent's status as a Microsoft Gold Applications Development Partner and ensures that Numecent customers and resellers will be able to leverage Numecent Cloudpaging to deliver Windows applications onto WVD on Azure seamlessly. Cloudpaging enables rapid on-boarding and migration of many Windows applications, including complicated and incompatible Windows applications, while minimizing configuration and simplifying complexity. The result is a significant reduction in migration, OpEx, and software licensing costs for WVD deployments.
"Microsoft Windows Virtual Desktop delivers the best cloud-based virtualization experience for end users and IT on various operating systems, including Windows 10, Windows 7 and Windows Server," said Scott Manchester, Group Principal Program Manager for Windows Virtual Desktop Solutions at Microsoft.
Cloudpaging also improves WVD and the use of other management tools such as non-persistence desktops and Layering technologies. For applications that may be problematic with or without these tools in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) or Desktop as a Service (DaaS), WVD with Numecent Cloudpaging can provide maximum compatibility, enabling organizations to get the most out of existing enterprise assets.
"We built Cloudpaging to make all Windows applications run better, easier to manage, and deploy friction-free to any Windows environment, including ones running in Azure such as WVD," said Arthur Hitomi, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Numecent. "The combination of Windows Virtual Desktop and Cloudpaging mean organizations can bring all of their Windows applications to a hosted, managed desktop environment, allowing for more users and workload scenarios for WVD while modernizing and reducing costs of onboarding and backend operations."
Cloudpaging supports programs that execute in kernel mode and/or require kernel-mode resources and requires no re-complication of applications. It also provides robust security, software asset management, and licensing enforcement for the applications it delivers, providing better compliance, reporting, and software licenses usage. Cloudpaging has minimal resource footprint and near-zero application performance impact.

New research commissioned by MessageGears shows that work involved to move data back and forth to marketing clouds and ESPs is preventing marketers from doing more valuable work

ATLANTA (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 07, 2019
Enterprise marketing teams struggle to work efficiently because so many of their resources are expended trying to keep their customer data in sync with their email service provider's cloud, The Relevancy Group revealed in a new report "The Hidden Costs of Data Friction," sponsored by MessageGears.
The August survey of more than 400 executive marketers found that enterprise brands across multiple industries experience data feed malfunctions an average of almost twice per week, and that it takes an average of roughly nine months to integrate their messaging program over to a marketing cloud provider. These teams exchange an average of more than 10 million customer records with their ESP, and more than three-quarters of them sync at least weekly.
That means the demands on time and resources are significant, and marketers see considerable opportunity cost to the work required merely to keep their ESP and their data working well enough to get personalized messaging campaigns out the door. Nearly half of respondents said they'd prioritize improving personalization if they didn't have to spend so much time moving their data to their ESP, while 42% said they'd improve segmentation, and 39% said they'd become more strategic. Other priorities included investing in other marketing channels, doing more testing, and improving retargeting.
"This was an interesting study to read because we've known for years that marketers faced so many challenges with moving data around, but we've never seen it quantified at scale quite like this," MessageGears VP, Marketing, Will Devlin said. "Seeing just how often these data feeds break and the way they wish they could utilize the lost time just underscores the reason why MessageGears exists, to give Super Senders a customer engagement product that connects directly to their database."

Caravan Health and Polsinelli to Hold Webinar on November 12 about the recently proposed rules on the Physician Self-Referral (Stark) and Anti-Kickback Statutes (AKS).

KANSAS CITY, MO. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 07, 2019
Caravan Health founder Lynn Barr and Neal Shah, a shareholder in Polsinelli's health care law practice, will present an interactive webinar on Tuesday, November 12 at 9 AM PT/12 PM ET about the recently proposed rules on the Physician Self-Referral (Stark) and Anti-Kickback Statutes (AKS). Any health providers interested in the new exceptions and safe harbors in value-based health care can register here for the webinar.
Health care providers have long identified the Stark and AKS law, intended to prevent abuse in Medicare in the form of self-referrals, bribes, or other unlawful payment, as barriers to the care coordination required of high-functioning value-based health care arrangements. Last month, the Department of Health and Human Services issued a pair of rules that would provide certain exceptions to the Stark and AKS laws to encourage taking financial risk in value-based care.
"These proposals represent the most significant potential revision to these laws in decades," said Mr. Shah. "We will review some of the biggest practical impacts of the proposals and help providers identify opportunities to give the agencies feedback."
These critical updates will modernize these laws for today's health care reimbursement landscape. With the move away from a fee-for-service, volume-driven payment environment toward payments based on quality, these rules ease the way for participation in value-based payment.
"These new rules will open up new avenues for providers to participate in value-based payment.," said Ms. Barr. "Join us as we review the regulatory details, the timeline for public comment, and explain what it all means for providers in accountable care."
About Caravan Health: Caravan Health is the national leader of successful accountable care and population health programs for community health systems. Caravan Health works with more than 250 health systems, 25,000 providers, and hundreds of thousands of patient lives to drive quality, financial benefits, and strong physician relationships in accountable care organizations. For more information visit http://www.caravanhealth.com.
About Polsinelli: Polsinelli is an Am Law 100 firm with 900 attorneys in 21 offices nationwide. Recognized by legal research firm BTI Consulting as one of the top firms for excellent client service and client relationships, the firm's attorneys provide value through practical legal counsel infused with business insight, and focus on health care, financial services, real estate, intellectual property, middle-market corporate, labor and employment and business litigation.

"These new rules will open up new avenues for providers to participate in value-based payment.," said Caravan Health founder Lynn Barr.

Signaling a major technological breakthrough, FortifyIQ will be unveiling the world's first comprehensive solution suite enabling chip manufacturers to protect electronic products against side-channel attacks.

NEWTON, MASS. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 07, 2019
At Milipol Paris 2019, FortifyIQ, one of the top three finalists of the Milipol Innovation Awards in "Cybersecurity" and "Smart and Safe Cities" categories, will demonstrate the world's first comprehensive solution suite enabling chip and OEM manufacturers to protect existing and future electronic products against side-channel attacks—namely Differential Power Analysis (DPA), Simple Power Analysis (SPA), Electromagnetic Emissions (EME), and Fault Injection (FI).
Side-channel attacks consist of collection and analysis of power consumption or electromagnetic emission of the device's secure element with the objective to acquire cryptographic keys or other sensitive data processed by the device. The ultimate goal of the attack is to take control of this type of the device and all devices made with the same SoCs that share the same global security key.
"We are thrilled to introduce what we are confident is the most accurate pre-silicon trace simulator, side-channel attack vulnerability analyzer, and remediation-advising software for secure element fortification on the market," said Alexander Kesler, FortifyIQ co-founder and CEO. "We are very much honored to be nominated as a finalist in two Milipol Innovation Awards categories, among some of the finest innovators in this field."
"Our solutions solve the urgent need for chip manufacturers to fortify chips against attacks in the most comprehensive way possible," said Mr. Kesler. "As the leading event dedicated to critical infrastructure security and safety, Milipol Paris 2019 is the ideal venue for demonstrating FortifyIQ's unique and game-changing technological capabilities to the world that's been trying to solve this problem for quite some time," added Mr. Kesler.
FortifyIQ will be exhibiting at Milipol Paris 2019 on November 19-22. Trade show attendees, media, and any critical infrastructure owners interested in comprehensive side-channel attack protection can stop by booth # 4 S 015 located in Startup Zone, Hall 4.
FortifyIQ is inviting everyone to its live on-stage presentations at the Innovation Stage in Hall 4 on Wednesday, November 20 at 4 pm and on Thursday, November 21 at 10:10 am.
FortifyIQ is the inventor of the world's first comprehensive solution suite that designs side-channel vulnerability out of your hardware before you build it, analyzes side-channel vulnerability in your hardware before you build it, and integrates prebuilt side-channel attack protection into your existing system-on-chip.
To learn more about FortifyIQ's product suite visit our website and connect with us on LinkedIn.

Largest franchised moving company in North America selects ActivityStudio to achieve operational excellence across 350 locations nationwide

SAN DIEGO (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 07, 2019
CMX, a leading provider of Enterprise Quality Management Solutions (EQMS) for supply chain management and operations execution, announced today that moving company TWO MEN AND A TRUCK will utilize CMX ActivityStudio across its 350 franchise locations nationwide.
ActivityStudio enables organizations of all sizes to digitize their operational procedures and protocols for a systematic approach to achieving and maintaining Quality and Operational Excellence. Its drag-and-drop form builder and program design tools can be used to create and manage company policies, audits, self-assessments, inspections, checklists, and survey programs.
"CMX ActivityStudio is already proving to be a huge stride forward for us in terms of ease of use and efficiency," said Kevin McCullough, Safety & Risk Team Lead for TWO MEN AND A TRUCK, a 34-year-old company headquartered in Lansing, Mich. "We went through an exhaustive search and evaluation, reviewing nearly 20 different solutions before choosing to work with CMX. ActivityStudio's user experience, user interface and capabilities are far superior to everything else out there."
ActivityStudio's ease of use is allowing McCullough and his team – tasked with providing consulting and training services for franchisees in the areas of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) compliance and policies, Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance, general training and safety, and risk reduction – to focus effectively on safety, one of their corporation's key priorities and investments.
The team is in the process of transferring their Safety Submission program, an annual risk-improvement self-assessment, into ActivityStudio. Self-assessments are performed by franchisees throughout the year and reviewed by McCullough's team. Other components of the Safety Submission program include the creation and distribution of monthly safety- and personnel-related content and assignments to franchisees. Once the program has fully migrated to ActivityStudio, McCullough plans to create dashboard-driven key performance indicators for franchisees each month and engage in trend analysis using CMX's integrated Tableau reporting.
"Another reason we selected CMX ActivityStudio is because it supports franchisee data modeling," said McCullough. "This is going to help our organization overcome some of the operational and technical challenges that arise with a completely franchisee-based model. I'm already using ActivityStudio to create policy manuals and am able to link questions there to content in the Safety Submission self-assessment. Having all our programs, content, and results in a single platform allows for the visibility needed to help our franchisees focus on continuous improvement."
McCullough and colleague Doug Day are already creating next year's self-assessment to be launched in January 2020, and planning for potential future programs in ActivityStudio, such as general site and startup visits and DOT compliance audits.
"TWO MEN AND A TRUCK has an inspirational history and an exciting future," said Mitch Porche, CEO, CMX. "We are pleased to partner with an organization that started as a small, independent family business and has shown consistent, healthy growth over the last three decades. We look forward to seeing how CMX ActivityStudio can help them accelerate growth while advancing a culture of compliance and safety."
To learn more about ActivityStudio, and how you can leverage it to achieve Quality and Operational Excellence, please visit the CMX website.

OVERLAND PARK, KAN. (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 07, 2019
Jennings Social Media & MarTech (JSMM) exceeded industry growth benchmarks in Q2 - Q3, pacing at 16% versus national benchmarks at 7.2%. Additionally, the company rebranded and changed its name from Jennings Social Media Marketing to Jennings Social Media & MarTech, including an update to its web domain to focus on technology and support its growth in artificial intelligence (AI) advertising.
JSMM maintained key clients, some of which have been with the agency for 10+ years, helping to compound growth. The agency also added several clients in new verticals and is renewing large contracts with publicly traded companies across the U.S.
New client verticals range from telecommunications to manufacturing, and home remodeling to rail, with numerous other opportunities in the pipeline for the rest of the year and into 2020. JSMM's impressive client attrition track record maintains veteran clients, representing national and international automotive brands of 8 years and technology clients of 11 years — many other clients are included in the 3 - 5+ year category.
As a performance-driven agency, JSMM is positioning its new and current clients for business growth utilizing progressive AI tactics for lead generation and developing creative branding campaigns with a focus on custom content development, digital advertising, public relations, influencer marketing and more.

We are proud of our talented team and continue to set high standards for delivering innovative campaigns focused on the latest tech and platforms for our global client base of B2B and B2C brands."
Driven by growth and culture, the agency completed a custom buildout in Overland Park with an open office floor plan similar to the East and West coasts. The new design and trendy space is conducive to a collaborative work environment in which creative, content and technical teams all work hand-in-hand. Within the past two years, the agency created two satellite locations in Irvine, CA and South Beach, FL to support the coastal growth in technology, automotive, luxury real estate and more.
The leadership team also expanded to include new skills in targeted areas including two new technical teams, web, SEO, creative, PR/influencer programs, reporting, automation, MarTech and more.
Jennings has long been an early adopter and embraces MarTech as the future of the digital marketing industry. Jennings has transitioned JSMM into the new era of AI over the past year, implementing cutting edge MarTech products geared toward data, software, competitive analysis and influencer campaigns.
Last year, Jennings was honored by DMN as one of the Top 40 Under 40 digital marketing leaders in 2018, and was named a Top 50 Kansas City Influencer by Blogger Local. Additional recognitions include: Kansas City's Most Wanted Honoree 2015 and Most Influential Woman in Business Class of 2014. Jennings has been interviewed about her success by national media and featured on magazine covers. JSMM has also successfully met the requirements of the NWBOC National Certification Program for certification as a woman-owned and woman-controlled business as of 2018.

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF. AND NEW YORK (PRWEB) NOVEMBER 07, 2019
Today, Synack and the Bob Woodruff Foundation announced a Veterans Day "hack" designed to raise awareness of the diverse cybersecurity skills of veterans while highlighting the need for nonprofits to be security-conscious. Synack has recruited a group of altruistic veteran security researchers who will check for potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the Bob Woodruff Foundation's online database. These volunteer hackers are also members of the Synack Red Team (SRT), a crowdsourced community of security researchers. They are completing the security test and assessment pro-bono to help raise awareness and support for our nation's veterans through the Bob Woodruff Foundation.
Veterans Still Secure America
While their military service may be over, the outstanding cybersecurity skills of veterans are highly valued in the private sector. Nonprofits can especially benefit from this type of expertise when it comes to digital safety and security. When determining where funds should be allocated, protecting the security of their electronic presence is not always top of mind for organizations focused on fulfilling a charitable mission. But delaying or avoiding security testing can end up costing nonprofits in the long-term.
Not surprisingly, there is evidence that online adversaries have taken notice of nonprofits as a potentially easier target. According to Accenture, the cost of a security breach has gone up 72% in the last 5 years. Further data from the 2019 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report says that 43% of small businesses - including many nonprofits - have been targeted.
The Synack Red Team jumped at the opportunity to volunteer in support of the Bob Woodruff Foundation's mission. One SRT member said "Any organization has the capacity to have a safe and secure environment for storing or processing sensitive data, but even the most profitable companies will fail when the basics are not adhered to."
When asked why they chose to participate in the Veterans Day hack, SRT member Niden responded, "As Veterans, we are all in this together. I want nothing more than to support fellow Veterans, especially veteran-run nonprofits." The SRT has some of the best researchers the world has to offer, and the team is growing. Synack runs a Veterans Cyber Program to find top veteran talent to join the Synack Red Team.
BWF navigates a maze of more than 46,000 nonprofits to find, fund and shape innovative programs in communities where veterans, service members, and military families live and work. "Living in a digital world is great when it comes to raising awareness of our mission, but we realize there are dangers online that our business should be prepared for," said Anne Marie Dougherty, CEO of the Bob Woodruff Foundation. "We're glad to enhance our cybersecurity with the help of skilled veteran volunteers."
The Veterans Day 2019 Hack to Support the Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF) will commence on November 12 and run to November 15.
