Hearing Aids: How to Pick the Right Type for You or a Loved One

D S Simon Media

It might sound unbelievable, but your hearing is as unique as your fingerprint. It’s true. Someone’s hearing experiences are individual to them, and the way they hear sounds is different to anyone else. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/m7KImn3BebQ Yet, the most commonly worn hearing aids use a standardized approach modeled on an ‘average ear’, which can often compromise sound quality with 93% reporting trouble hearing in noisy environments and 55% getting confused about where sounds come from. In fact, hearing loss can cause a person to miss out on hearing the moments that matter most. The problem is so big that according to the National Institutes of Health, nearly 30 million Americans have a hearing loss and could benefit from using hearing aids but fewer than 16% have ever used them. Just like a fingerprint, each person’s hearing is unique. Yet, the most commonly worn hearing aids use a standardized approach modeled on an‘ average ear’, which can often compromise sound quality. ReSound ONE is a long-awaited breakthrough that gives everyone a solution individualized precisely to their own hearing anatomy. ReSound ONE is an entirely new class of hearing aids that offers a truly individualized hearing experience and the best sound quality for every user. ReSound ONE is available in rechargeable and non-rechargeable models. For further information and to take a free hearing test, visit the ReSound.com.

Acacia Group Companies Scoop Up Two Innovation Awards for Tech Taking On COVID-19 Challenges

Acacia Group

The Acacia Group, operational investors in technology and services companies, announced today that two of its portfolio companies were recently named Industry Innovator award winners for their groundbreaking technologies in the 2020 Government Innovation Awards presented by Defense Systems, FCW, GCN and Washington Technology. Applied Insight was recognized for its cloud testing and emulation platform, SHIFT, and ID Technologies was celebrated for its endpoint security platform, Archon. Both technologies have been used to support the federal government in tackling the challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic by providing remote work solutions for national security customers. “Fostering innovation has long been at the heart of Acacia’s investment approach across our portfolio,” said Gavin Long, partner with The Acacia Group. “As a result, all of our platform companies have had significant success with developing proprietary technologies that overcome major technical and cultural hurdles for their public sector and commercial customers. Today, their technologies are enabling mission progress for thousands of users across the federal government and industry, including newly remote workforces. These awards are fantastic recognition for our teams at Applied Insight and ID Technologies and validate our continued backing of their substantial product development programs.” Both Archon and SHIFT are proprietary technologies that address some of the most critical needs facing the federal government today. ARCHON - ID Technologies has taken its first Industry Innovator award for its Archon endpoint security platform. The Archon solution suite, which incorporates a Commercial Solutions for Classified compliant laptop or phone coupled with secure cloud connectivity, provides a uniquely secure way for mobile users to access sensitive or classified data. It is enabling remote workforces to continue their work within systems that are vital to national defense, a mission-critical task since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. At such a crucial time, Archon is enabling greater productivity for tactical mission users and greater security for mission-sensitive systems. SHIFT - Applied Insight’s SHIFT technology is transforming the performance of mission-critical software developed for restricted cloud regions. By emulating those regions, SHIFT enables developers to make their applications fully “region ready” before they are deployed to the high side. As a result, using SHIFT helps avoid costly mission delays and accelerates customer access to the latest commercial innovations. Significantly, SHIFT solves a major customer staffing problem, as it allows uncleared developers to do their best work on the low side. Applied Insight is an award winner for the second consecutive year, having been honored in 2019 for its innovative Altitude Managed Cloud platform. The Government Innovation Awards celebrate the transformative government projects, individual change agents and industry partners that are reimagining public-sector IT. The Industry Innovator awards recognize the vital role that the private sector plays in the government IT community. More information on the awards, including all the award winners, can be found online at https://governmentinnovationawards.com/events/2020/information/industry-innovators.aspx.

RTCORE is Evaluating Applying for a Commercial Banking License

RTCore Inc

October 29, 2020, RTCORE Inc. (OTC Markets: “PPPS”), a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”) is evaluating the opportunity to apply for a U.S. Commercial Banking License, which the Company believes would be synergistic with its innovative CoreBanking system and negotiations for the acquisitions of Conquest Insurance Group and Spanish Moss Premium Finance Co. RTCore is a Cloud-native Banking System delivering real time digital transaction processing and settlements, with multi-bank, multi-lingual and multi-currency capabilities, while achieving high levels of operating efficiencies. The recent notice issued by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) allowing banks to securely embrace digital assets is a major step forward in the quest for banks to provide digital services broadly to the market. Additionally, the OCC further clarified its position on the provision of banking services to stablecoin issuers as long as the stablecoins are backed by fiat currencies on a one-to-one ratio. According to Company COO John Kelly, “The decision to begin evaluating the opportunity to create a post-modern 'de novo' bank is owed to the knowledge and experience of our management team, combined with a new banking platform whose design can successfully address the pent-up market demand for innovative digital banking products and services processed in a highly secure and regulated real time environment.” RTCore’s Chairman and CEO, Phil Walton stated “The software includes sophisticated KYC and AML monitoring, reporting and analytics. By putting our money where our mouth is, should our efforts prove successful, a new bank with a complete set of digital banking products and services running on real time settlement rails, could quickly become a market leader in the digital transformation of our legacy-based banking industry.” The Company may choose not to create a 'de novo' bank. If it does choose to move forward, there is no guarantee that it would receive the requisite licenses and approvals, or otherwise have the ability to do so. Regardless of the outcome, the Company will continue to market the RTCore System to interested Financial Services organizations worldwide. About RTCORE Inc. Headquartered in Charlotte, NC, RTCORE Inc. is an industry leader in the design, development and commercial deployment of Cloud-native, real time transaction processing software for the global financial services industry.

Comodo Releases Historical Statistics for Enterprise Customers

Comodo

Comodo, the world’s leader of next-generation cybersecurity announced that it has released historical statistics for its enterprise customers and will publish updates on a regular basis. Comodo’s Transparency Page lists weekly historical data sets that includes scores and statistics from millions of endpoints on thousands of different networks. Built with the goal of providing transparency and building trust, it represents a health check for enterprise customers and drills down to both device view and file view, providing percentage data for the following: Device View Percentage of active devices with malicious activity (in containment Percentage of active devices on known good state (no unknowns) Percentage of active devices that have seen malicious activity (API virtualized) Percentage of infection/breach File View Percentage of unknowns that turns out to be clean Percentage of unknowns that turn out to be a potentially unwanted application (PUA) Percentage of the unknowns that turned out to be malware “Our reporting for the month of October shows zero infections and zero breaches, which represents data collected from our enterprise users on millions of endpoints, from thousands of different networks,” said Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office with Comodo. He continued, “This clearly demonstrates the power of Comodo attack surface reduction (ASR) and the efficacy of protection without detection. Every unknown executable, which these files were, were running in kernel API virtualization mode.” Comodo’s Dragon platform with Advanced Endpoint Protection (AEP) 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 any 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. Comodo’s platform shares intelligence and is therefore more secure than disparate products that claim best of breed but don’t share information. Comodo has architected its cybersecurity product to maximize intelligent sharing between every component of the platform, therefore providing superior security. Alan continued, “Transparency and trust are key in the cybersecurity industry. And while a hundred percent security cannot be promised by anyone, showing these types of stats is a critical component for building the foundation for that transparency and trust. We are calling on all cybersecurity vendors to start publishing similar statistics, as well. We firmly believe this type of visibility is good for the industry and for end users. Only companies with subpar products that rely on marketing and don't want to be found out will be hesitant to publish these types of statistics.” About Comodo Comodo is the world’s leader of next-generation open source cybersecurity, with the industry’s most disruptive innovations. We help customers stop breaches with groundbreaking auto containment technology that neutralizes ransomware, malware and cyber-attacks. Our complete cloud-native framework delivers a zero-trust architecture with active breach protection for the most comprehensive defense against zero-day threats.

Graphic novel: Disinformation and cyber warfare illustrated in Real Fake

Stockwood Strategy

Deepfakes, bots, and troll farms are just some of the emerging techniques for creating and spreading disinformation. Erly Stage Studios has today published Real Fake , the digital graphic novel, which sheds a light on the disruptive forces at work. This book is the first of the graphic novels that are a part of the Resilience Series commissioned by the US Cyber Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA). Real Fake will inform and educate people on the dangers and risks associated with dis- and mis- information through fictional stories inspired by real-world events. In Real Fake, readers will meet the protagonist Rachel O'Sullivan, a gamer, patriot and member of Symous - a group fighting disinformation and foreign interference in elections as polling day approaches. Farid Haque, founder and CEO of Erly Stage Studios commented: “We’re delighted to have been commissioned by CISA to create a practical and engaging communication tool that highlights the existential threat of disinformation in the context of bad state actors. While the story is fictional many of the approaches shown are very much grounded in the reality of the technology we live with and are exposed to almost daily.” Real Fake provides a unique education for the reader about the world of Deepfakes and their history while helping the reader understand the need to exercise care when it comes to consuming news and information via social media platforms and online sources of information. In the story, racing against the clock a group of citizens set out to shine a spotlight on the source of disinformation. They find it’s coming from across their borders and from the unlikeliest of places set up as farms to perpetuate information that maliciously misleads and influences electoral outcomes. The protagonists of the story have access to unique resources and are able to prove who the sponsors of disinformation are via their puppet farms set up around the world to troll democracy in the land of the free. “Real Fake is the culmination of the wealth of experience that Clint Watts brings in cyber warfare and disinformation and our studio’s creative direction and storytelling style. We spent months researching the real life incidents and then wrapped them into a fictional story” added Farid Haque. The graphic novel is being made available by CISA to the general public online as a free resource ahead of the 2020 US Presidential election at the following URL: https://www.cisa.gov/cfi-resilience-series-graphic-novels . A subsequent title in the series will be released a few weeks afterwards titled Bug Bytes. Watch this space and log back into https://www. publishing.erlystagestudios.com to learn more.

Suzy Disrupts In-Person Qualitative Market Research Industry with Launch of Suzy Live One-on-One Video Platform

Suzy

In response to changing market research needs created by the pandemic and restrictions on in-person focus groups, real-time market research platform Suzy today unveiled Suzy Live , a first-of-its-kind qualitative research platform for video-based consumer interviews. Leveraging Suzy’s on-demand, screened and verified panel of U.S. consumers, Suzy Live brings together both qualitative and quantitative research in one platform, enabling Fortune 500 brands to conduct in-depth one-on-one video interviews to capture consumer sentiment and understand the “why” behind specific behaviors. Leading brands can leverage the full suite of Suzy tools to generate a more holistic consumer story. Suzy developed Suzy Live to address a critical need in the market exacerbated by COVID-19: current qualitative research and in-depth interview offerings are expensive, time-consuming, inefficient, and more difficult to conduct now due to the pandemic. Additionally, current qualitative and quantitative research tools remain fragmented and too complex for researchers to fully maximize a mixed methodological research approach. Utilizing a robust technology platform and a built-in verified consumer audience, Suzy Live makes qualitative research seamless and efficient, while combining the strength of Suzy’s existing quantitative-focused platform. “The current virtual in-depth interview process is arduous and inefficient. There is a lot of fragmentation when it comes to recruitment, scheduling, and the actual platforms that the interviews take place on,” said Avi Savar, President of Suzy. “With Suzy Live, we’ve simplified everything, allowing the entire process to happen directly in one platform. With this latest update, we’re bringing best-in-class quantitative and qualitative research into one platform, enabling our clients to get a deeper understanding of their consumers during these uncertain times.” Suzy clients like American Express, Garden of Life, and Chateau Ste. Michelle are using Suzy Live to test concepts, understand target audiences, ask questions before a product launch, gather feedback, and more, all in real-time. “Suzy Live not only represents a fast in-depth interview solution, but it also offers the ability to conduct interviews with screened and verified consumers, meaning very high-quality results and insights,” said Joe Garbarczyk, Director of Consumer and Digital Marketing at Garden of Life. “For the first time, we can efficiently gather more robust feedback and dig deeper into hyper-targeted audiences.” Managing the process seamlessly from end-to-end, Suzy finds and qualifies interview candidates, schedules interviews, moderates, and develops in-depth transcripts for clients. “As one of Washington’s oldest and most celebrated wineries, we take customer feedback and customer experience very seriously. Suzy has been instrumental in helping us understand our customers better, and we’re excited to try the new features in Suzy Live,” said Patrick Egan, Director - Insights & Analytics, Chateau Ste. Michelle. Led by CEO and former ad-agency veteran Matt Britton, Suzy recently completed a $34 million Series C round. Rho Ventures, Bertelsmann Digital Media Investments, Triangle Peak Partners, and Foundry Group participated in the Series C round.

Replicated Raises $25M Series B To Modernize On-Prem Software Delivery

Owen Media

Replicated, which enables software vendors to ship an on-prem, air gapped, or self-hosted version of their software with Day 2 enterprise operations management, today announced closing a Series B funding round totaling $25 million. The round was led by Two Sigma Ventures, with participation from existing investors. The total amount raised to date, including a $1.5 million seed round (led by BoldStart) and a $5 million Series A round (led by Amplify), is $31.5 million. The funds will be used to expand the capabilities of the current product and grow the team. “The on-prem software market is four times larger than the SaaS market,” said Grant Miller, Replicated co-founder and CEO. “Replicated lets software vendors unlock the opportunity of the on-prem software category with lower engineering overhead and faster time to market. This is a market change made possible by the convergence of cloud native computing and Kubernetes.” Replicated enables software vendors to use modern cloud native technologies and Kubernetes to deliver enterprise grade applications and install their software in on-prem or self-hosted environments. The technology reduces the engineering workload and accelerates time to market for software vendors. For enterprise customers, Replicated provides a simple interface to manage software deployments, licensing, and Day 2 operations. Replicated’s customers include HashiCorp, Puppet, and UiPath. Half of the Fortune 100 uses Replicated to manage applications. According to Synergy Research, the on-prem software market is four times greater than that of the SaaS market. The on-prem market was inaccessible to many software vendors because engineering costs and long lead times made it impractical. Replicated has helped dozens of software vendors and thousands of enterprise organizations benefit from faster and easier deployments and simplified application management. Replicated was the first company to deliver a container-based service for deployment of applications inside corporate firewalls. Kubernetes has become the substrate of how modern software is delivered and makes widespread delivery of software to on-prem environments possible. Replicated’s Kubernetes Off The Shelf (KOTS) product, is a kubectl plugin and admin console to help manage KOTS software. Traditional on-prem software deployments required software vendors to spend months packaging and delivering applications on disks or servers to the customer. It was hard to build reliable, scalable, and distributed systems. The software was received by operations technicians who had to pour over manuals for days to deploy, update, and maintain every service. Replicated reduces the engineering overhead from months to days and accelerates time to market, streamlining Day 1 and Day 2 operations so that a single person can manage 10,000 applications. "Replicated makes it easy to reliably deliver our AI platform to highly-secure customer environments, without needing our customers to become experts on our stack or architecture," said Kyle Owens, Labelbox Engineering Manager. Replicated’s Series B round was well subscribed due to company and category growth, attracting the participation of Two Sigma Ventures as well as existing investors. Replicated has more than doubled its customer base in the past 12 months. Replicated’s customers cite easier access to large enterprise accounts as the primary reason for adopting the technology. “Replicated has pioneered the way to operationalize and scale the distribution of modern on‑prem applications to enterprise customers,” said Villi Iltchev, Two Sigma Ventures partner. “Their technology makes on-prem or self-hosted software deployments fast, seamless, and easy to manage in an era where companies are increasingly deploying applications in their cloud and on-prem environments.” Replicated was founded in 2015 by Miller and Marc Campbell, CTO, who previously founded Look IO, a mobile live-chat program that was acquired by LivePerson. About Replicated Replicated is the modern way to ship on-prem software. Replicated gives software vendors a container-based platform for easily deploying cloud native applications inside customers' environments to provide greater security and control.
