AQAIO Partners with Comodo to Build European Channel

Comodo

Comodo and AQAIO today announced their strategic partnership. AQAIO, a specialized next generation IT security distributor in Munich, Germany offers Comodo security solutions to reseller partners. “We chose to partner with Comodo because of the ease of use of the Dragon platform and the auto containment technology. The auto containment is a killer feature compared to everything else on the market. Why offer 99 percent when you can have 100 percent threat protection? Plus, the pricing is attractive and the cherry on top is the superb support team,” said Jens Schumacher, European Comodo Partnership Manager, AQAIO. Richard Hellmeier, CEO of AQAIO said “We are looking forward to building the channel for Comodo in Europe.” AQAIO 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. 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. Schumacher continued, “The increasing complexity of the cyber-threat landscape and industry-specific requirements demand solution specialists. Through our Comodo partnership, our partners, resellers and managed service providers can offer their customers everything enter from Managed Detection and Response (MDR) as a service to custom SOC-as-a-Service, and enterprise solutions with no initial investment.” AQAIO also chose Comodo’s next-gen SOC-as-a-platform (SOCaaP)™ which includes people, process and technology and offers full white label capability for any MSSP or enterprise. The platform saves partners time and money and is available with zero capital outlay. Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “We look forward to a strong future with AQAIO. Through this partnership, their resellers have support in their time zone and a local, central point of contact.” About AQAIO AQAIO is a partner to resellers, system integrators and OEMs. We deal with new technological developments, complemented and expanded by complementary solutions of market and technology leaders in the IT security environment.

ADSS Cyber Security Partners with Comodo to Transition from MSP to MSSP

Comodo

Comodo and ADSS Cyber Security today announced their strategic partnership. ADSS Cyber Security, a provider of managed security, cybersecurity consulting, cyber intelligence and security awareness training chose to partner with Comodo in order to transition from a Managed Service Provider (MSP) to a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP). “Our customers shouldn’t have to worry about cyber threats and so our mission is to provide the most advanced security tools operated by a highly trained staff. To accomplish this, we partner exclusively with global leaders in the security industry, like Comodo,” said Christopher Phillips, Co-Founder & Director of Cyber Operations, ADSS Cybersecurity. ADSS Cyber Security started out as an MSP offering AVAST’s CloudCare platform. The company searched for a different solution for their core managed solutions stack while planning the transition to MSSP. After a year of research, trial and error, they chose Comodo. Philips continued, “To successfully transition to an MSSP, we needed to provide the most solid security solutions available. We researched multiple security firms such as CrowdStrike and F-Secure and found that they didn’t offer protection that was equal to Comodo. After numerous tests, Comodo’s Dragon platform was the only solution that came out on top, and even when we tried to trick the software, it still offered great protection.” ADSS Cyber Security 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 the 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 “We initially chose to work with Comodo because of the incredible auto containment technology, but we’re benefiting from the entire platform of security solutions, which enabled us to offer streamlined and extensive protection for our clients. We feel safe knowing that our clients are protected by the best,” said Phillips. 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. ADSS Cyber Security also chose Comodo’s next-gen SOC-as-a-platform (SOCaaP)™, which includes people, process and technology and offers full white label capability for any MSSP or enterprise. The platform saves partners time and money, with zero capital outlay. “Comodo made it incredibly easy for us to add managed security services to our portfolio. Without Comodo, we would have had needed substantial capital investment for staff, software and infrastructure,” continued Phillips. Alan Knepfer, President and Chief Revenue Office at Comodo said, “We’re ready to help companies meet the explosive demand for managed security services. Our platform makes it possible to for an MSP to become an MSSP with one click and with zero capital outlay.” About ADSS Cyber Security Welcome to ADSS Cyber Security Limited, the security team you can trust when things go wrong.

Houck’s Grille Uses Video Webinar Technology to Enhance Restaurant Events

Convey Services

Houck’s Grille launched a unique new service to include distant friends and relatives in local parties and celebrations in its event facilities, when they can’t be there in person by adding Zoom Video Conferencing and streaming services to the event package. The new capability allows people from anywhere in the world to join in as guests when a physical celebration, corporate meeting or other sponsored event is taking place at Houck’s. While guests are socializing, having their lunch or dinner gathering or enjoying the presentation or music in the restaurant, friends can join online and see and talk directly with the hosts or attendees. "Prior to COVID-19, Houck’s hosted dozens of events in an average month, including rehearsal dinners, birthdays, bridal showers, anniversaries and corporate meetings,” said Molly Breiding, Event Manager at Houck’s Grille. “Just like other restaurants and event facilities when COVID hit, those gatherings disappeared. With our new Zoom Video Conferencing capability, events can resume and guests who are unable to travel or uncomfortable with large groups, can now talk to guests and not miss a moment of the celebration.” Each Houck’s Zoom event includes a dedicated “Zoom Jockey” to manage the technology, direct the video, help online viewers participate, as well as include restaurant attendees in the event. Houck’s is connected with video, microphones and an 8-foot projection screen to maximize the experience for its in-person and remote guests. Virtual local guests can even receive meals and drinks from Houck’s using Curbside Pickup, UberEats or DoorDash. “In-person events are beginning to return, as people are now booking their fall and holiday parties and celebrations,” added Breiding. “But there is going to be a segment of our community that will still feel uncomfortable in group settings despite the efforts Houck’s engages in to reduce the risk. The addition of video streaming allows people to join in, even if it is from the comfort of their home.” About Houck’s Grille Houck’s Grille is an American fare family restaurant located in the heart of Roswell, Georgia, an Atlanta suburb, off Highway 92 at Crabapple Road. Founded by legendary local restauranteur, Bill Houck, Houck’s Grille first opened at this location in 2015.

InterAct Unveils Addiction Support Platform to Address Opioid Crisis in Rural America

Convey Services

InterAct LifeLine , today launched the InterAct Opioid Resource Platform , an addiction education knowledgebase designed to support Rural Health Initiatives at the federal, state and local level. The Opioid Resource Platform delivers patient and family support tools and telehealth resources to provide relief from the opioid crisis in rural communities where access to treatment is often unavailable. The InterAct platform complies with HIPAA regulations and ADA accessibility and is custom branded for state, regional, municipal or school districts, along with private treatment programs. Each portal is connected to a centralized online library populated with current educational resources on a wide range of drug-related topics, family support and wellness strategies. Community organizations can use the InterAct Opioid Resource Platform to connect and refer individuals to local resources, community contacts and virtual support groups. “The Rural Opioid Crisis has brought increasing levels of addiction and overdose deaths to America’s heartland, while the resources needed to support families facing addiction rarely reaches beyond the urban centers,” said Carolyn Bradfield , CEO & founder of InterAct. “COVID-19 is only making this worse as overdoses increased 18% in March, 29 % in April and 42 % in May according to a July 2020 Washington Post article. The use of technology to provide more services to people suffering with the disease of addiction, in both urban and rural areas has been glaringly absent. The InterAct Opioid Resource Platform can be rolled out and managed by federal, state or county organizations who can direct and focus the content and resources available at every level.” In addition to parent and family educational content and access to localized services, the InterAct Opioid Resource Platform interfaces with Medicaid/Medicare supported telehealth services for online psychiatric and psychological counseling. Professionally moderated group sessions are available online to provide expanded support to rural communities when geography, mobility or personal presence is restricted. Monitored regional public forums let users ask questions and receive feedback from their peers or professionals. Portals can also provide fund raising tools and sponsorship opportunities to make them financially self-sufficient. “Rural America continues to take the brunt of the opioid crisis, with minimal access to resources and services, coupled with out of control addiction rates,” added Bradfield. “Families bear the burden of trying to support an adolescent or adult family member facing addiction, but they are the last to receive any education or counseling. Fighting COVID has diverted funding and public attention away from the Opioid Crisis, while rural America continues to address this decade-long addiction pandemic. The Opioid Crisis will still be here when COVID is contained, and the death toll will continue to mount.” According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) , “Rates of drug overdose deaths are rising in rural areas, surpassing rates in urban areas. Although the percentage of people reporting illicit drug use is lower in rural areas, the effects of use appear to be higher. In 2017, more than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses, making it a leading cause of injury-related death in the United States. Of those deaths, almost 68% involved a prescription or illicit opioid. About InterAct LifeLine Founded in 2019 by Carolyn Bradfield following the overdose death of her daughter, InterAct is a technology telehealth platform delivering education and content on addiction and wellness strategies to promote recovery, connections to community through discussion forums and virtual support groups, and continuous outreach to its members. InterAct’s portal technology is integrated with a HIPAA compliant mobile platform offering applications to families to engage individuals, organize their schedule with reminders and check ins, send secure messages and monitors vital signs through wearables to detect risk for overdose. InterAct’s technology produces detailed data used for treatment program outcomes studies. For information visit www.interactlifeline.com , info@interactlifeline.com or call 866-274-7539.
