“STOCK MARKET FOR SPORTS” SURPASSES $2 MILLION IN USER TRADES

Jock MKT

Jock MKT (Jock Market), the platform that is turning sports into a stock exchange, announced they have surpassed $2 million in user trades since launching in September of 2020. It took four months for Jock MKT to hit their first $1 million in trades and only 26 days to reach their next $1 million milestone between December 25, 2020 and January 19, 2021. Now approved in 34 states, Jock MKT is planning to host their first “cash market” for the NFL’s biggest game on Sunday, Feb. 7. Users will be able to bid on virtual shares of Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers players during an IPO stage that will conclude prior to kickoff. When the IPO ends, any Jock MKT user can buy and sell shares from other investors during the game in real time for real money. “The early users of Jock MKT have become like a community,” said Tyler Carlin, Co-Founder of Jock MKT. “We’ve gotten to know many of them by their screen names in the app; I think we probably get as excited as they do when someone that’s been around from the beginning nets a big win.” On January 24, Travis Kelce’s IPO price was $11.01 for the NFL’s Conference Championship Round. Investors in Kelce needed to bid at least $11.01 to obtain shares in the IPO or buy shares through a bid and ask model that is similar to a real stock exchange. Kelce ended the day with the most fantasy points and his shares paid out $25 per share for a return of 127%. In the same cash market, Marquez Valdes-Scantling saw the biggest return at +237%, Aaron Jones saw the biggest loss at minus 84%, and Tom Brady was down 23% verses his IPO price. Patrick Mahomes was up 45%. “One person shared a screenshot on Twitter of their $1,200 return after they invested in Kelce shares on Sunday,” added Carlin. “Then, another user saw a $1,500 return during this past weekend’s PGA Tour event. It’s been great to see, and we’re looking forward to giving more fans a fun way to be invested in the action, especially during sports’ biggest event on February 7.” Jock MKT was co-founded by Tyler Carlin, a 2013 graduate of MIT’s Sloan School of Management. Led by Will Ventures, the platform raised its first round of funding in September. Will Ventures’ Founding Partner and Managing Director is Isaiah Kacyvenski, a retired eight-year NFL veteran with a Harvard MBA. Accomplice founding partner Ryan Moore, an early investor and current board member of DraftKings, is also a stakeholder in Jock MKT. Headquartered in Boston and launched in 2020, Jock MKT ( JockMKT.com ) is a fantasy gaming platform where users can make real money – every minute, every second, of every game. Inspired by a traditional stock exchange, Jock MKT allows users to buy and sell shares of athletes in real time. Jock MKT was co-founded by Tyler Carlin and investors include Isaiah Kacyvenski, Ryan Moore, Brandon Adams and Alumni Ventures Group. Available in the U.S. in 34 states, Jock MKT offers gaming options for events tied to the NFL, NBA and PGA Tour.

Serai Launches End-to-End Supply Chain Traceability Solution for the Apparel Industry

Media Outreach

*Serai’s new solution helps businesses build supply chain visibility and track ESG commitments **Solution being piloted by industry leaders to prove cotton and raw material origins HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach - 26 January 2021 - Serai, a network-based digital B2B platform by HSBC, has launched a traceability solution that allows apparel businesses to track cotton and other raw materials going into their product. Businesses can use the new solution to trace order flow throughout the supply chain, manage supply chain risks and collect data for compliance needs. Serai helps businesses map upstream suppliers and track environmental, sustainability and governance (ESG) commitments. “It is critical for suppliers, manufacturers and brands to show and prove the origins of their products. However, it can be difficult for businesses to have full visibility over their complex supply chains as much of this data is currently fragmented and managed manually. Serai makes it easy for businesses to access and unify complex supply chain information from multiple sources,” says Vivek Ramachandran, Chief Executive Officer, Serai. Businesses only need to integrate information sources once. Serai then enables them to share this with multiple parties over a secure platform. The solution is customisable, able to accommodate the needs of each company. “Serai combines multiple data sources into a single view making it easy for businesses and their supply chain partners to have an overview of information that they may not have had access to before. Not only does this allow for a seamless flow of information, it could help them identify gaps and inefficiencies in their current processes,” says Vivek. “In today’s climate, it’s critical that apparel businesses take a proactive approach in tracing and being transparent about their product journey. Such practises will help them build a more resilient, sustainable and compliant supply chain.” Serai’s ambition is to simplify global trade, with an initial focus on the apparel industry. For more information on the traceability solution, visit www.seraitrade.com/traceability About Serai Serai is the digital B2B platform by HSBC helping apparel businesses build the advantage of trust through relationships and facilitating supply chain transparency. Members can develop new relationships, showcase strengths and offerings, grow their digital presence and exchange complex supply chain information to achieve their transparency goals. It’s all about simplifying global trade. Serai is an essential evolving resource that gives businesses control and ownership over their data and digital assets. It’s all about helping members overcome the challenges of global trade – and making it easier for everyone.

CipherCloud Introduces Zero-Trust Remote Access, Enabling Organizations to Access Applications in the Public Cloud and Data Center with Unified Policies

CipherCloud

CipherCloud ®, the market’s leading provider of integrated cloud security and data privacy, today announced that it has formally introduced its Zero-Trust Remote Access solution, supporting continued expansion of the remote workforce while reducing the risk of data exposure from unauthorized users and compromised devices. CipherCloud Zero-Trust Remote Access directly supports today’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) requirements, allowing practitioners to ensure context-aware, data-centric access across enterprise applications from any device and location. By empowering organizations to directly engage the principle of “least privilege” and allocate appropriate access to nearly any application on-premise or in the cloud, Zero-Trust Remote Access addresses today’s complex, hybrid environments to facilitate secure, flexible, and scalable remote workforce deployments. Zero-Trust Remote Access specifically creates software-defined perimeters and enforces adaptive, identity and context-aware policies when providing access to applications residing everywhere from public clouds to organizations’ private data centers. Unlike traditional VPN solutions, this approach dramatically increases the security and efficiency of applications access without exposing internal applications directly to the internet. “With continued adoption of the cloud and dramatic growth of the remote workforce, organizations are seeing sensitive data accessed and shared nearly everywhere, often using unmanaged devices. This is accelerating the requirement for solutions that increase availability while reducing risk,” said Pravin Kothari, CipherCloud Founder and CEO. “Our customers are telling us every day that they need to support complex policies that enable workers to collaborate effectively, while improving protection and maintaining compliance.” Zero-Trust Remote Access can be deployed both standalone and in conjunction with the CipherCloud CASB+ solution, and is directly supported via partnership with leading network security, identity and threat protection providers, enabling best-of-breed integration via powerful out-of-the-box Zero Trust Network Access controls. Through this integration with the market’s leading data-centric CASB solution, CipherCloud uniquely offers the ability to enable data access for unmanaged devices based both on policies and continuous authentication. By combining industry-leading CASB and Data Protection capabilities in this integrated manner, CipherCloud Zero-Trust Remote Access establishes a strong foundation for Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), enabling organizations to define unified applications and data security policies to secure all of their applications across SaaS, IaaS, and on-prem environments. CipherCloud Zero-Trust Remote Access Differentiated Capabilities CipherCloud Zero-Trust Remote Access facilitates agentless access from endpoint devices to enterprise applications, enabling frictionless deployment without requiring additional software installation by end-users. Additional benefits include: Microsegmentation: Abstracts access mechanisms to isolate applications access from network access, preventing over-entitlement of services and thwarting lateral movement. Full applications cloaking: Prevents the exposure of internal applications to the Internet, reducing data exposure and protecting against threats and DDoS attacks. Unified policy enforcement: Enables unified coverage and governance for applications and data access in multi-cloud and multiple data center environments. Advanced data security: Extends CASB+ data protection controls to private applications, including DLP content inspection, encryption and enterprise DRM. Deep visibility and monitoring: Integrates with popular SIEM tools to analyze network logs and deliver complete visibility into application and user activity. User Anomaly Detection with UEBA: Performs real-time monitoring of user interactions to identify anomalous activities and pinpoint emerging threats. Adaptive Access Control: Integrates with Microsoft Active Directory and SSO solutions - including Okta, Ping and Thales - to enable Zero Trust access and authentication. Endpoint Security Posture Management: Enables context-aware management of devices connecting to the cloud using digital certificates and MDM/EMM integration. CipherCloud delivers the market’s leading approach to integrated CASB, SASE, and Data Privacy, addressing the full scope of customer requirements across cloud access, discovery, monitoring, data protection, policy enforcement and compliance. CipherCloud CASB+ has been named SC Magazine Cloud Security Product of the Year, Overall Leader in the CASB market by KuppingerCole, and a Visionary by Gartner, while counting numerous global 1000 companies among its rapidly growing customer base.
