Recognized as one of the most successful cybersecurity leaders in the industry, DeWalt brings more than 25 years of experience to iboss Board of Directors.

“David DeWalt’s vision in technology and cybersecurity is unparalleled in the industry and aligns perfectly with iboss’s vision to completely transform network security from traditional on-prem security appliances to cloud security designed to secure devices and users everywhere.”


BOSTON (PRWEB)

iboss, the leader in cloud security, announced today that David DeWalt, founder of NightDragon Security and former CEO and Chairman of McAfee and FireEye, is joining iboss’s Board of Directors. Recognized as one of the most successful cybersecurity leaders in the industry, DeWalt brings more than 25 years of experience to his newest endeavor.

DeWalt is known as a revolutionary icon for driving Fortune 1000 companies to their greatest potential. DeWalt joined FireEye in 2012 as CEO and Chairman of the Board where he led the company through rapid growth as it established the market for advanced threat protection. DeWalt served as McAfee President and CEO from April 2007 to May 2012 where he directed the acquisition of McAfee by Intel for $7.7 billion. DeWalt has also held top leadership positions at Quest Software, Segue Technologies, and Oracle Corporation. DeWalt currently serves as Independent Director of Delta Air Lines, Inc. and Managing Director at AllegisCyber, and serves on numerous boards across the technology field including ForeScout Technologies and Optiv. DeWalt was also appointed by President Barack Obama to the National Security Telecommunications Advisory Council (NSTAC).

With cybersecurity heading into a cloud-first world, this is a strategic time for DeWalt to join iboss. “David DeWalt’s vision in technology and cybersecurity is unparalleled in the industry and aligns perfectly with iboss’s vision to completely transform network security from traditional on-prem security appliances to cloud security designed to secure devices and users everywhere,” said Paul Martini, CEO of iboss.

“The cloud has changed everything, not just enabling business but also in protecting it. The security mantra of “defense in depth” is severely limited now and vendors and customers alike need to adapt quickly to these changes. iboss can help solve this problem with their next generation cloud first gateway solution,” said David DeWalt.

The iboss platform is natively built for the cloud using a proprietary containerized architecture allowing 100% of all firewall and proxy security functions traditionally found in on-prem appliances to transition easily to the cloud. The iboss cloud platform changes the way cloud security is delivered, allowing organizations to migrate from traditional network security appliances to security delivered in the cloud. With mobility, cloud application use and bandwidth use exponentially increasing by the day, using traditional means to secure cloud connectivity with appliances is ineffective as the traditional network perimeter has eroded. The iboss platform is critical to ensure fast and secure connections to cloud applications and enable cloud adoption in a secure and scalable way. The iboss cloud secures Internet access on any device, from any location, in the cloud making the cloud-first future a reality.

Dave DeWalt will be a fundamental contributor in changing the network security space which is currently transitioning from traditional means of securing devices and users via on-prem network security appliances, such as firewalls and proxies, to SaaS delivered cloud security. All applications are moving the cloud allowing users to work from anywhere, including outside the traditional network perimeter. Cloud security moves all security functions from firewalls and proxies to the cloud and delivers these capabilities as a SaaS offering allowing administrators to focus on security and compliance instead of unmanageable network infrastructure. Dave’s foundation in cybersecurity combined with network security provides the insight needed as iboss transforms the network security space which is needed to make the cloud driven future a reality.

iboss has received many recent accolades including:


  • Cloud Company of the Year, Stratus Awards

  • Winner in four Infosec Award Categories – Leader Cloud Security, Leader Security Company of the Year, Leader Network Security and Management, and Hot Cloud SaaS/Cloud Security

  • Secure Web Gateway Solution of the Year, Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards

Public Health and Community Leaders from Across the Nation Will Convene in Baltimore This Week to Advance Plans for Sharing Multi-Sector Data to Improve Community Health

Leave a comment


If we want to make individuals and communities healthier, we need to expand our lens beyond health care to involve other sectors such as housing, community development, education, transportation, and criminal justice,” said Peter Eckart, Co-Director, DASH.


BALTIMORE (PRWEB)

The importance of sharing data across sectors to improve community health will take center stage this week as more than 350 public health and community leaders convene in Baltimore for the third annual All In: Data for Community Health national meeting. Leaders from more than 150 communities across the nation will be on hand during the three-day event to explore ways to improve population health by unleashing the full potential of their data through partnerships that bring diverse sectors together.

Launched in 2016, All In: Data for Community Health is a learning network of communities testing exciting new ways to systematically improve community health outcomes through multi-sector partnerships working to share data. To accelerate learning among early innovators in the field, the All In learning network is currently led by six national and regional programs: BUILD Health Challenge, Data Across Sectors for Health, Network for Public Health Law, New Jersey Health Initiatives, Population Health Innovation Lab, and the Public Health National Center for Innovations (PHNCI). Additionally, All In brings together more than 150 community-based, multi-sector coalitions from across the nation that are actively engaged in planning, building or using shared data systems. All In partner networks are building the evidence base to advance practice, identify gaps, highlight investment needs, and inform policy.

Developing data systems that combine health care and public health datasets with data from other sectors can help community leaders acquire a more complete picture of factors that impact community health outcomes. Access to multi-sector data increases their capacity to implement more effective programs, policies, and system-wide changes and also leads to better care coordination across sectors for those with complex health and social needs.

“There is broad agreement that, if we want to make individuals and communities healthier, we need to expand our lens beyond health care to involve other sectors such as housing, community development, education, transportation, and criminal justice,” said Peter Eckart, Co-Director, DASH. “Data from these sources can provide new ways of understanding the forces working for and against health in a community, and increase the capacity of community members, elected officials and other local leaders to plan, develop and support programs and policies that optimize health and well-being.”

The third annual All In national meeting will kick off at 1 p.m. ET today with an interactive opening plenary designed to engage attendees in their common vision of building capacity to address the social determinants of health through multi-sector data-sharing collaborations. From interactive deep-dive sessions to round-table discussions, workshops, and break-out sessions, the meeting will provide many opportunities to discover new data-sharing solutions and gain practical guidance from experts. Crowdsourcing and live polling will be used throughout the meeting to garner feedback and input from attendees in real time.

The program continues on Wednesday, Oct. 16 with a morning plenary led by Rhea Boyd, MD, MPH, FAAP, Commonwealth Fund Mongan Minority Health Policy Fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health. With a specific focus on anti-racism, the plenary will explore the ethical implications of public data-sharing and its impacts on power, vulnerability, accountability, and racial inequality. Also on Oct. 16, the Georgia Health Policy Center will host an “Aligning Systems for Health” lunch to discuss the learning system they are developing. Another highlight of the day will feature the launch of the new All In Affinity Groups, which will provide opportunities to deepen the conversation on popular topics both during the meeting and through continued programming afterwards.

Sessions, presentations and networking opportunities will continue on Thursday, Oct. 17, beginning with a plenary panel titled “Strategies for the Win-Win in Accessing Data: Stories from the Field.” Recognizing that a fair amount of tension exists across state agencies in governance and data sharing, the plenary panel will address the state-local relationship and push-pull around data-sharing to improve community health.

Since 2016, All In partners and their funded community collaborations have been testing innovative multi-sector data-sharing projects. An overview of the now more than 150 community projects across the United States is available here.

“There is no roadmap for this complex work,” said Jessica Solomon Fisher, Chief Innovations Officer for PHNCI. “If we want to make progress in this field together, it’s critical that communities share their experiences so that collectively, we can learn from each other’s failures and successes. All In helps bring to scale the hard-won knowledge and practical lessons learned from communities to accelerate progress toward improved health for all.”

Paul Petrus’s newly released “Round Trip to Emmaus” is a masterful story that introduces the women of the past centuries who believed they were freed by Christ

MEADVILLE, Pa. (PRWEB)

“Round Trip to Emmaus”: a riveting exposition of the miracles of Jesus, enabling the readers to witness His power and might. “Round Trip to Emmaus” is the creation of published author Paul Petrus, a retired communications practitioner, columnist, and media correspondent.

Petrus writes, “The story introduces courageous women who believed that, because the first contacts of the Messiah were with women, Jesus liberated women from brutal submissiveness in the first century.

“Yet, this viewpoint could still apply to religious women in our twenty-first century. This theory could be also acceptable to women involved in Christian communities and churches who believe they deserve to be elevated to be men’s equals.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Petrus’s new book shares an unforgettable reading experience that enables readers to know the story is relevant today to Christians who believe Christ did not differentiate between men and women.

This book reminds the readers of the story in the Bible where Jesus approached the three men who were about to leave Jerusalem, but then returned after realizing that the man who was with them in their road to Emmaus was the risen Christ.

Consumers can purchase “Round Trip to Emmaus” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.

Former Brightwood Students Graduate from Unitek College

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Unitek College is one of California’s reputable healthcare and nursing colleges. Taught by experienced professionals, Unitek programs teach the clinical technique and theory used in the field today.

The leadership team at Unitek honored their commitment to the community by extending a warm welcome to the Brightwood students.


SACRAMENTO, Calif. (PRWEB)

In 2019, Unitek opened its doors to various nursing students from Brightwood College. All Brightwood locations began to shut down in late 2018. Students who started in July were only entering their second term when the school closed its doors. For a time, it seemed as if these students would have to start over. Then the leadership team at Unitek honored their commitment to the community by extending a warm welcome to the Brightwood students.

Furthermore, Unitek hired Brightwood’s former Program Director, Dr. Sonja Sheppard, and several of her faculty members to help the students complete the program at Unitek. Of the 50 students affected by the closure, 36 of them resumed their studies at Unitek’s Sacramento campus. All of these individuals were in varying stages of their former program.

In order to accommodate their needs, the California Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT) allowed additional cohorts at the Sacramento campus. Unitek was only one of two colleges given special dispensation from the BVNPT to assist former Brightwood students. Thanks to the tireless efforts of Dr. Sheppard and the Unitek team, exceptional courses were created to keep the students on track. They might have left Brightwood in December of 2018, but they graduated from Unitek on October 1, 2019.

“With all the time and effort we had put in to the program thus far, it felt as if everything was coming down on us and there was nowhere to turn and no solution to the problem. And then Unitek happened,” said Monique Martinez, a former Brightwood student who gave a speech at her pinning ceremony. “We overcame everything that was thrown our way, even in times we thought we could not, because we all knew why we were there and that we wanted to succeed. After all the hard work, dedication, and sleepless nights, we finally made it.”

Janis Paulson, the Chief Executive Officer at Unitek College, greatly assisted former Brightwood staff and students with the transition. She recently commented on the experience: “We are thrilled to have helped these students resume their education and realize their dreams. In helping others, we hope to create a better future for the next generation of nurses.”

Unitek College is one of California’s reputable healthcare and nursing colleges. Taught by experienced professionals, Unitek programs teach the clinical technique and theory used in the field today. Equipped with a multitude of sought-after skills, Unitek graduates are prepared to excel in many of the fastest-growing careers in healthcare and nursing.

McAlester Regional Health Center Improves Security with Accutech’s Cuddles Infant Protection System

Leave a comment


Newborn infant and mother

Providing high quality infant protection in a hospital environment is easier and more affordable than ever with Cuddles Infant Protection system from Accutech.

The system offers a deterrent and helps security officers quickly respond to an abduction attempt and identify any potential threats. If someone sets a door off, the alarm will light up and tell you where an attempt is happening.


MCALESTER, Okla. (PRWEB)

McAlester Regional Health Center (MRHC) has installed Accutech Security Solutions’ Cuddles Infant Protection System. The hospital chose Cuddles because of its extensive, integrated security, efficiency in admitting and discharging babies, improved reporting, and ability to obstruct infant abduction attempts.

“We now have a great system in place,” said Megan Monks, Obstetrics Nurse Manager at MRHC. “We have no issues, no concerns about it not working correctly. We’ve already had very positive feedback from parents.”

MRHC also selected Cuddles because of its ease of use, the soft and lightweight, self-adjusting band, and top-notch security features. The system installed at MRHC has several alarms in place that are activated in various ways, including if a Cuddles’ band loses contact with the child’s skin, if an infant tag gets close to any of the department’s exit, if someone loiters too long at a door, or if a door is slightly open.

“The system offers a deterrent and helps security officers quickly respond to an abduction attempt and identify any potential threats,” said Bryce Segotta, MRHC security officer. “If someone sets a door off, the alarm will light up and tell you where an attempt is happening.”

Installation also included integrating the technology to shut down the entire wing in the case of an abduction attempt.

“When an alarm is activated, the entire floor of the hospital is shut down,” Monks said. “Until we see what the problem is, and we actually shut the alarm off, you still can’t get out.”

Accutech Security has been manufacturing infant security solutions for almost 35 years. Cuddles Infant Protection systems can be seamlessly integrated with wired and wireless nurse call systems, ensuring notifications are at hospital staff’s fingertips. Cuddles is in more than 500 hospitals worldwide and offers free 24/7/365 support.
