Mighty Blue Cloud Partners with Comodo After Dropping Sophos and Cylance

Comodo

Comodo, the world’s leader of next-generation cybersecurity announced a partnership with Mighty Blue Cloud, a provider of Managed IT Services based in Vancouver, Canada. Comodo displaced two competitive incumbents—Sophos and Cylance. “We are Canada’s foremost cloud hosting company that helps relieve enterprises from the terrors of losing data. We act as a driving force in helping customers make their data secure and available at all times,” said Jainesh Nand, President of Mighty Blue Cloud. He continued, “We chose Comodo because of its innovation. The auto containment technology takes security to the next level.” “We previously used Sophos and Cylance. Both are based on completely different approaches to protection, however they both allowed viruses and malware to pass through their protection. After switching to Comodo we no longer have issues with ransomware, and no longer have issues with performance on the system. Comodo provides the best level of security with performance that others can’t beat,” Nand said. Mighty Blue Cloud chose Comodo’s Dragon platform with Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP), which is a complete cloud-native framework that delivers a zero-trust architecture to protect and defend endpoints. Its patent-pending auto containment technology has active breach protection that neutralizes ransomware, malware and cyber-attacks. The auto containment runs an unknown executable in a kernel API virtualized mode, thereby offering attack surface reduction (ASR) which neutralizes ransomware attacks. The Dragon Platform also utilizes a Default Deny security posture with Default Allow usability to provide a most comprehensive protection against zero-day threats, while having no impact on end-user experience or workflows. Comodo’s Valkyrie analyzes and gives a trusted verdict for every file – no other company will analyze and give trusted verdict for 100% of the files on a network. Nand continued, “Unlike other antivirus offerings, which have false positives, Comodo provides that extra level of protection and prevents an unknown file from damaging anything on the system. Comodo is always there for my business, and their team is always available when we have questions or require technical assistance. They truly care about their partners.” Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “Our partnership and next generation cybersecurity helps Mighty Blue Cloud with the critical task of ensuring that their customer’s data is secure at all times.” About Comodo Comodo delivers next generation cybersecurity solutions to protect businesses, schools, and government organizations in today’s risk filled business environment. Headquartered in Clifton NJ, Comodo’s global development team and threat intelligence laboratories deliver innovative, category leading, solutions for a company’s endpoints, network boundary, and internal network security. Thousands of companies and organizations rely on Comodo’s technology to authenticate, validate, and secure their most precious asset—information—and to combat constant cyberattacks and threats like ransomware from wreaking havoc on a global scale.

US companies spending billions each month to return staff back to work

Huma

Getting businesses back up and running and employees back to work is critical to the US economic recovery. However, there’s confusion between employers and anxiety for workers returning to work. Digital health and therapeutics company Huma asked 5,000 US employees and 2,000 US employers about their views on returning to work. Only one in five businesses feel suitably informed on the specific policies/procedures they need to ensure a safe working environment for their employees. Yet employers are spending loads of money to reopen workplaces safely. Employers estimate that they will spend $3.4 billion per month overall, and $61.23 per employee each month to ensure employee health and safety. Nearly 9 in 10 employers (86%) have instituted new hygiene protocols, updated workplace layouts, and have a smaller workforce. While employers are readying the workplace, they have not planned for managing COVID-19 cases. Few employers have made accommodations for managing COVID-19 exposure. Only one-fifth of employers have updated sick leave policies (22%) or communications policies for exposure (19%). Economic realities are scaring employees more than health and safety risks Shockingly, two-thirds of employees believe their health and safety could be compromised in the workplace. Despite these fears, most employees are eager to get back to work, with over half of workers (52%) ready to get back to work today. Of those employees who have already returned to their workplace, only one in four (27%) employees are confident in the measures in place to ensure their safety and wellbeing. What’s driving employees’ concerns are interactions with other people, with respondents citing their co-workers’ hygiene (17%) and commuters (25%) as two of the three factors they were worried about, along with the workplace environment (21%). What causes the greatest fear for nearly three-quarters (72%) of employees is their coworker’s hygiene, which they rank as the single most significant factor in COVID-19 transmission at the workplace. Managing employee health for a safe workplace Employers have invested in the physical workplace, but have not put systems in place to manage employee health and COVID-19 case communications to ensure safer workplaces. Overwhelmingly, two-thirds (67%) of employees would be willing to do a daily symptom check-in with their employers, and the majority (75%) would be comfortable with employers tracking their symptoms. Moreover, nine in ten businesses (87%) are comfortable monitoring their employees' symptoms. This research shows that there’s a willingness on both sides to manage employee health, yet few are doing so. Dan Vahdat, founder and CEO of Huma, commented : “What this research identifies are the concerns of employers and employees in managing health and safety at the workplace during the COVID-19 era. Employers are spending millions to create a safe work environment, but not on solutions to manage employee health.” “Employers need new solutions and guidance on how to manage their health and wellbeing of their employees and provide assurance that they are prepared for COVID-19. Without new solutions to help manage workplace safety, businesses and the economy are going to take longer to recover.” Digital health and therapeutics company Huma is helping businesses and employees return to work safely. Huma Health Shield gives employees an easy-to-use mobile app to confidentially self-report their symptoms, track vital signs, and see their exposure risk. Employers have access to a secure web-based portal to see their workforce’s overall health while still protecting employee privacy. Ends Notes the editor Research findings based on a survey of 5,000 US employees and 2,000 US companies conducted in September 2020. About Huma Huma partners with scientists, technologists, and healthcare professionals to understand, treat, and ultimately prevent ill health. Giving knowledge and power to those with medical conditions, while saving clinicians time, energy, and valuable resources. Because, by collectively benefiting from the data we individually generate, we can all live our longest, fullest lives. www.huma.com Contact Details Bilal Mahmood +44 7714 007257 bilal.mahmood@huma.com Company Website https://huma.com/

Get your next visa in 60 seconds with Atlas

Atlas Visa, Inc.

Over 97% of travelers feel that applying for visas is the most stressful part of travel planning. From figuring out what’s required to filling up lengthy forms, preparing a visa application takes 6 hours on average. The current process also involves several physical touch points such as getting photos and applications notarized in-person. In a covid-impacted world, travelers are actively seeking digital alternatives that do not involve such interactions. Atlas , a San Francisco-based startup, is on a mission to fix this problem. Its revolutionary mobile app cuts down the time taken to prepare a visa application to under 60 seconds. It does so by automating all aspects of visa preparation - from form filling, to generating supporting documents as well as providing expert guidance. Atlas works by asking travelers a few simple questions about themselves and their travel plans, and generates a complete visa application in real-time. In addition, travelers are able to book visa appointments, notarize their documents remotely, and get AI-powered expert assistance. Founder and CEO Mohak Nahta says “visas are a prerequisite to travel but wasting hours on visa preparation is inherently prohibitive for the modern-day traveler. Atlas is doing for visas what TurboTax did for taxes.” Mohak draws from years of experience in leading the development of successful internet products, and sits on the panels of prominent technology-focused events. Atlas is the only application of its kind on the Apple App Store and has fundamentally reshaped visa preparation infrastructure. The app is currently out in the United States, and will be rolled out internationally in the coming months. Atlas makes it simple for travelers to prepare their visa applications.

Comodo Announces Plans to Open Source Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) Product

Comodo

Comodo, the world’s leader of next-generation cybersecurity will make its Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR) product available as open source. It will be available on GitHub shortly. “We are offering our EDR as open source because we feel strongly that as cyber-threats increase, every company should have access to this capability regardless of budget or ability to purchase it,“ said Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Officer at Comodo. He continued, “Our competitors offer endpoint protection that falls short of protecting customers, and then charge additional for EDR capability. This kind of pricing strategy from cybersecurity vendors will weaken the cybersecurity resources available to enterprises. The model of charging for multiple layers because they fail in protecting customers is not a healthy business model for the long term. We are putting an end to that by open sourcing the world's most sophisticated EDR.” Comodo’s EDR provides continuous real-time visibility of endpoints with detection & response. With the Open Source EDR product an organization’s IT team can identify attacks with the accurate root-cause analysis for effective remediation intelligence. It is a sophisticated endpoint agent that uses adaptive event modeling and allows logs to be sent to an elastic database and connect to systems like Kibana for visualization and reporting. In addition, a set of Indicators of compromise (IoCs) will be available and open for the community to create and deploy their own IoCs. An extensive rule engine will also be provided for collection of endpoint events, enrichment and detection. About Comodo Comodo delivers next generation cybersecurity solutions to protect businesses, schools, and government organizations in today’s risk filled business environment. Headquartered in Clifton NJ, Comodo’s global development team and threat intelligence laboratories deliver innovative, category leading, solutions for a company’s endpoints, network boundary, and internal network security.

8 of the Top 10 Largest New York Office Landlords, Including SL Green & Rudin Management, Have Chosen VTS Market as Their System of Record for Digital Leasing & Marketing

VTS

VTS , the commercial real estate industry's leading leasing and asset management platform, today announced that since launching VTS Market —the commercial real estate industry’s first integrated, online marketing platform that enables landlords and their agency teams to market and lease their available spaces remotely for the first time—leading owners in New York and across North America have continued to choose VTS Market as their system of record for digital leasing and marketing. New clients include SL Green, Rudin Management, Columbia Property Trust, Nuveen, and Ivanhoe Cambridge. Currently, more than 15 million square feet of new office space is being signed up each week. This new group joins previous leading owners including Tishman Speyer, Brookfield Properties, Empire State Realty Trust, Hines, Oxford Properties Group, and RXR. The unprecedented uptake of the solution sees VTS Market continue to maintain its status as the most rapidly adopted product in proptech history. “Commercial real estate is and always will be a people business. VTS Market gives us a modern means to continue to engage with tenant rep brokers and their tenant clients in a way that is more efficient for them, and ultimately provides a superior experience,” said Steven M. Durels, Executive Vice President, Director of Leasing and Real Property, SL Green. “While this move towards digital leasing has been accelerated by COVID-19, it isn’t a short-term play and will continue to develop well beyond the pandemic.” To underscore this, VTS conducted a survey (VTS Market Tenant Survey 2020) to better understand and address the concerns that are top of mind for today’s tenants in relation to their office space search needs amid the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 250 U.S. tenants—including C-level executives and HR-decision makers for new space—participated. The results echoed that a majority of tenants prefer virtually touring space prior to viewing it in-person, and that will remain the preference post-COVID-19. The primary takeaways that bolster this anecdote include: Roughly 70% of respondents expressed discomfort in doing an in-person tour. 80% preferred to take a virtual tour of a space to narrow down their search before they had to tour in-person. 67% of respondents wanted to see a floor plan before touring in person “In today’s market, the traditional offline marketing methods long relied on by landlords are simply no longer possible. Without a digital option, they simply can’t compete,” said Nick Romito, CEO and Co-Founder of VTS. “With VTS Market, tenant reps and their tenant clients can virtually experience a building and interact with the owner of that building like never before. We are thrilled to be able to meet this critical industry need and get leasing teams back to work.” With VTS Market, landlords finally have a fully digital, data-driven way to market and lease their spaces online – all from within the VTS platform they use to manage their leasing and asset management activities today. In one click, agency leasing teams can review, approve, and publish spaces online to the VTS Marketplace — a listings site currently exclusively available for tenant reps to view, tour, and share virtual listing content for free. Additionally, landlords can easily publish spaces to their own websites and email listings to their network of tenant reps, directly from VTS’ platform. VTS Market provides landlords with the industry’s most comprehensive and effective marketing content, including virtual tours, photos, 3D space renderings, refurbished floor plans, and more than 250 verified data points for each space–all produced by the VTS team–ensuring tenant reps and tenants are viewing a single, highly-engaging source of truth. With VTS now managing more than 12 billion square feet of assets, including 60-percent of national Class A office space and 65-percent of the Manhattan office market — the company’s network of data reached a critical mass to support this. VTS Market and Marketplace are available in the U.S. and Canada. For more details and to request a demo, visit VTS.com .
