Unisoft Infotech Chooses Comodo’s Dragon Platform with Auto Containment Technology

Comodo

Comodo and Unisoft Infotech today announced their strategic partnership. Unisoft Infotech, a Singapore-based IT consulting firm added Comodo’s security solutions to its offering. “We chose Comodo, because of its auto-containment technology,” said Thenappan Vellachami, Founder and Director, Unisoft Infotech. He continued, “We needed 100% security from viruses and malware threats, so we decided to upgrade from a mere antivirus to endpoint protection. When evaluating products, we compared Symantec's Endpoint Protection to Comodo's, and the latter had better features. Comodo’s Dragon with AEP and auto-containment detects and responds in a way that users need not worry about any incoming virus threats; they can continue to concentrate on business enhancement.” Unisoft Infotech 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. In addition, 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. Thenappan continued, “With its built-in auto containment technology, irrespective of the classification of virus or malware – whether it is ‘good’, ‘bad’, or ‘unknown’, Comodo will contain and quarantine all of them in a dedicated area. Having a file system where 100% of files get a trusted verdict means that we don’t have to use our staff and resources doing it manually.” 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. Thenappan continued, “The best thing about Comodo’s Dragon platform is the excellent managed services – the threat detection and response is very organized and user friendly. Adding additional existing endpoint manager licenses is done by simply linking the licenses. Plus, the insights and analytics of threat management is of great use to us,” said Thenappan. Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “Our partnership and world-class solutions will help Unisoft’s customers stop worrying about cyber threats so they can focus on their business.” About Unisoft Infotech Unisoft Infotech is a Singapore-based IT consulting firm with strong knowledge, expertise and resource base across technology from Data Science to ERP.

Agile Industries Partners with Comodo after Dropping ESET

Comodo

Comodo and Agile Industries today announced their strategic partnership. Agile Industries, an Information Technology and services provider for non-profit organizations and based in based in Alberta, Canada added Comodo security solutions to its offering. “Our partnership with Comodo gives us peace of mind knowing our clients have top-notch security,” said Harlee Courtepatte, Founder and CEO, Agile Industries. He continued, “We originally had ESET, but during the planning process for a large client migration to 365, we looked for a new antivirus on our server-side. We researched several offerings, including those from ESET and Blackberry. After seeing a demo and experiencing a trial of Comodo’s Dragon Platform we decided to drop ESET and go with Comodo. We made the right decision – Comodo offers excellent customer service that exceeds our high expectations. Since day one I have resources for any question, concern, or advice. I am treated as a true partner, and this in turn has helped provide the best offerings to our clients. From now on, I will choose Comodo over any competitor.” Agile Industries 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. In addition, 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. Courtepatte continued, “Comodo’s Dragon Platform gives the ability to write scripts for extra control. For example, our CTO Jeffrey Johnson scripted Azure alerts to let us know if our VM processor consumption exceeds 95%. This is important because, in a multi-tenant user environment, this could mean 100+ users are freezing up, causing disruptions in work, and soon to follow will be IT tickets. Now we can get ahead of these things, before they become a problem. This reduces our workload and saves money through reduced desktop support hours, which we pass back onto the consumer. In addition, our end users have a better experience because they often do not notice there was an issue going on in the first place.” 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. “Our workflows are much more streamlined. The biggest benefit I noticed is how much less time I spend in the Dragon platform rather than In Azure. Since we connected Comodo to our clients’ Azure AD and enabled LDAP we are syncing our client’s employees, creating groups, organizing security levels and creating device ownership,” said Courtepatte. Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “This is another example of Comodo helping partners worldwide offer innovative, intelligent security solutions.” About Agile Industries Agile Industries specializes in helping and supporting not-for-profits, schools and SMBs that otherwise could not afford an enterprise-grade IT move to a cloud infrastructure. With a proper IT cloud strategy, we have helped agencies reduce their overall yearly costs by 20% while providing industry-standard data security, corporate training, and lean equipment solutions through one of our network partners.

WATCH: Airbus Perlan Mission II Celebrates Anniversary of Record Flight, Expands Science in the Stratosphere

Airbus Perlan Mission II

On Sept. 2, 2018, Airbus Perlan Mission II, the world’s first initiative to pilot an engineless aircraft to the edge of space, succeeded in setting a new world glider altitude record of 76,000 ft. in the stratospheric mountain waves above the Andes in southern Argentina. The aircraft was the Perlan 2, an experimental space glider, designed to achieve an altitude of up to 90,000 feet, which now is on record as the second highest flying winged aircraft in history - second only to the SR-71 Blackbird. The mission of Airbus Perlan Mission II is not only about setting altitude records, but also to drive innovation, exploration and inspiration for the next generation of aerospace leaders. To support these missions, Airbus Perlan Mission II is establishing a high altitude platform for science in the stratosphere, to gain invaluable data and insights never before possible on climate, extreme weather, aerodynamics and aerospace engineering. In this video, members of the Airbus Perlan Mission II team share their excitement about the discoveries that are possible by taking science to the stratosphere, what climate and aerospace knowledge was gained last season, and how the Perlan 2 provides a tremendous stratospheric science platform like no other in history. While the Perlan 2 will not fly this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the team is celebrating the second anniversary of its record breaking flight and focusing energy on its total missions, and on what can be achieved through partnerships in science with innovators, researchers and aerospace leaders around the world.

Global Business Ethics Survey: Top managers twice as likely to experience pressure to bend the rules in organizations.

Ethics & Compliance Initiative

Employees are twice as likely to experience pressure if they are top-management than compared to line-level employees, according to the Ethics & Compliance Initiative’s ™ (ECI) latest Global Business Ethics Survey Report ™ (GBES) . The data suggest that the higher up the “totem pole” an employee is, the more likely they are to experience pressure to bend the rules. Overall, about 1 in 5 employees experience pressure to bend the rules. Pressure to bend the rules, as defined by the GBES report , can be caused by meeting performance goals, attempting to save one's own and others' jobs, supervisory pressure, advancing one's career or financial interests, and demands from people who support or invest in the organization. According to the data, of those that experience pressure, 30% are top management employees, 25% are middle management, 22% are first-line supervisors and 17% are individual contributors. The first 2020 report of ECI’s premier, longitudinal study on global workplace behavior, published four times per year, also found that when top management show a strong commitment to ethical leadership and organizational values, their employees are 3X less likely to experience pressure. “The data continue to suggest that high-pressure environments are not only stressful for employees, but they can actually cause a negative ROI when it comes to ethical behavior,” said Patricia Harned, CEO of ECI. “Expanding KPIs and stretching financial goals may result in a short-term gain, but the long-term consequences to the organization is a net negative.” Other Findings and Key Indicators of Pressure The report found that employees experiencing pressure was linked with the prevalence of observing various types of misconduct found in organizations across the globe, all of which were about twice as likely to occur in pressure environments versus non-pressure environments. Employees are twice as likely to observe misconduct in organizations where they feel pressure to compromise ethics standards. “As companies around the globe respond to the unprecedented challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the important research in ECI’s Global Business Ethics Survey (GBES) report presents a timely and accurate overview of pressure in the workplace,” said Michele M. Brown, SVP, Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer and Deputy General Counsel, Leidos. “These findings provide best practices to balance organizational change while upholding the highest ethical standards. Leidos is proud to support ECI research, which is helping the member community build and maintain strong ethical cultures.” Download the latest GBES report at ethics.org/gbes Methodology The 2019 GBES is the 15th iteration of the GBES (formerly the National Business Ethics Survey). In 2019, the GBES surveyed over 18,000 employees in 18 countries (approximately 1,000 employees per country). ECI established the survey questions and sampling methodology. About the Ethics & Compliance Initiative The Ethics & Compliance Initiative (ECI) is a non-profit organization that empowers organizations to build and sustain high-quality ethics and compliance programs. The organization provides research and a best practice community, as well as certification opportunities for ethics & compliance professionals. Through its membership, ECI represents entities across nearly every industry, located in 37 countries on six continents each dedicated to promoting the highest levels of integrity. Visit www.ethics.org to find out more about our research, membership or funding the GBES. The GBES is made possible with the support of its funders: Google, Boeing, Eli Lilly & Company, Altria, BP, GE, KPMG, Pacific Gas & Electric, L'ORÉAL, Leidos, University of Arkansas and PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Investors pile into skip hire startup, Skrap

Skrap

Skrap , a London-based proptech startup, has raised £1.2m seed funding as it sets out to transform how everything is hired in the construction industry by making it available on-demand. Skrap is building on its reputation as a ‘skip hire disruptor’ and will bring its digital innovation to other parts of the industry including concrete, portaloos, machinery and so much more. The fundraise was led by Vanneck Investments, with participation from a host of entrepreneurs and angels investors including Charles Songhurst, Eamon Jubbawy (Onfido), Anil Stocker (MarketFinance), Paul Huntingdon (ARM), Adrian Beecroft, Dennis Stevenson, Peter Brodnicki (MAB), Jay Radia (Yieldify, Reachdesk), and James Hind (Carwow). Founded in 2017, Skrap is a construction hire marketplace connecting construction businesses with on-demand skip and construction hire related services. The entire process is managed in a mobile app . Hussain Hilli, co-founder at Skrap commented: “We’re thrilled to have some amazing investors on board and look forward to leaning on their expertise as we broaden the horizons for Skrap. Our team has huge ambitions to scale across the UK and globally. Having laid the foundations in Skip hire, we are fast expanding in all construction hire verticals. Skrap is making its mark in industry by introducing the first mobile app that makes it simple and convenient for construction companies to access resources they need.” Skrap was founded with a vision of allowing SME Builders to order any construction hire service at the click of a button. Skrap’s team of 25 are building the world’s first app dedicated to automating construction hire. It has been trialled with hundreds of suppliers across London, Manchester and Birmingham to complete over 10,000 deliveries to thousands of construction companies - small and large - to take the hassle of waste management away from the already stressful construction experience. Skrap’s strategic ambition is to automate the entire construction hire supply chain across major cities globally over the coming years. Founders Marwan Field, Hussain Hilli and Ahmed Rao came across the problem while running a construction business where logistics were unorganised and fragmented; prices were asymmetric, and the marketplace of suppliers and brokers were doing everything manually. Hussain Hilli added: “The UK construction hire industry is a £20bn market, yet it is poorly served with services not fit-for-purpose in a digital age. Skrap is well positioned to bring innovative solutions to help transform the industry and make it one beacon of industry once again”. Ends About Skrap Founded in 2017, Skrap offers on-demand services for skip and construction hire resources. Every year almost 100m tonnes of construction waste is collected in the UK and construction businesses spend Â£5b in collecting this waste, and a further Â£15b on other hire services. Skrap intends to remove the hassle from ordering a skip and other construction hire needs to make this experience simple and user friendly.

Uyghurs for Sale

21Wilberforce

Seventy-five years after the Holocaust concentration and labor camps are still in existence. Today the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is interning more than one million Uyghur Muslims in concentration camps – striping them of their fundamental rights to peacefully practice their faith. Now new information has surfaced showing that not only is the Communist Party oppressing Uyghur Muslims, they are profiting from them – and worse – Americans are at risk of being duped into paying for it . Groups working on international religious freedom issues have now added their voice to a coalition of civil society organizations and trade unions calling for fair labor practices. Spearheaded by 21Wilberforce and other organizations working through the International Religious Freedom Roundtable , religious freedom advocates are asking Congress to quickly pass the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (H.R.6210 / S.3471). This legislation would make it more difficult for products produced by people enslaved by the CCP because of their faith to enter Western markets . “We commend Congressman McGovern (D-MA) and Senator Rubio (R-FL) for their bipartisan efforts to confront this horrific exploitation of people because of their religion,” said Randel Everett, President of 21Wilberforce. “One hundred fifty (150) organizations and experts of different beliefs and ideologies have come together to ask Congress to pass this important legislation.” 21Wilberforce encourages Americans to reach out to their representatives in Congress and ask them to enlist more co-sponsors, give speeches, and make statements in support of stopping the Chinese Communist Party from exploiting and profiting from religious discrimination and slavery. Citizens can make a difference by using and sharing a free online tool that directly connects Americans with their elected representatives. Dr. Everett noted that “Our namesake, William Wilberforce, was a man of faith who stood up to free people who were enslaved based on their race. Today we stand up to free those enslaved for their faith.” 21Wilberforce is a Christian human rights organization dedicated to defending the universal rights of religion, belief, and conscience for all people. Our vision is to empower people to collaboratively support persecuted communities, challenge repression, and expand freedom of religion and belief globally.

Rosedale Union School District Chose Comodo for Security and IT Management

Comodo

Rosedale Union School District educates more than 5,800 students at nine schools, with several schools recognized by California Department of Education as Distinguished, Gold Ribbon and National Blue Ribbon. The IT department needed to consolidate its security and IT management and chose Comodo’s solutions. “The Rosedale Union School District Information Technology Systems Department is aimed at providing the ability to use 21st century learning methods. We needed a comprehensive and cost-effective solution that allowed us to manage all computers on our network and protect our end-users,” said Britton Smith, Director of Information Technology, Rosedale Union School District. He continued, “ We evaluated Palo Alto Traps and ESET but decided to work with Comodo because of all the tools that were wrapped into a single package.” Rosedale Union school District 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.

This allows us to be proactive in containing threats, which give us better protection. In addition, now that we work in a distance learning environment due to COVID-19, this solution has lent us a lot of flexibility. Our ability to support our staff and teachers quickly and effectively at a distance has improved significantly.” Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “Educational institutions have done a tremendous job with ensuring learning continuity during remote instruction. We’re happy to partner with this school district to help them maintain their standards for excellent curriculum and instruction. “ About Rosedale Union School District The mission of the Rosedale Union School District is to educate all students so they may become career and college ready.
