Renters Brace for End of CARES Act Eviction Moratorium

Leave a comment


News Image

Under the present circumstances, your landlord doesn’t likely want to look for a new tenant. Talk to him/her. You won’t know what they are willing to entertain if you don’t even talk to them. Ways to reduce your cost include waiving rent, reducing rent or perhaps using a security deposit for rent.


COLUMBUS , Ohio (PRWEB)

The CARES Act was signed into law on March 27, 2020. It provided 120 days of eviction relief for tenants in federally backed housing. In other words, tenants could not be served with an eviction notice until July 25, 2020. In addition, the notice must give you 30 days to leave the property. After that date, we may very well see a huge spike in evictions. The COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project estimates that between 19 million and 23 million Americans living in rental housing are at risk of eviction by the end of September.

If you are potentially facing eviction, you should know the following:

  • The eviction process takes weeks at a minimum. And, at many points along the way, it is often possible to halt it.

  • Local rules may impact eviction and in some cases there are some stopgap federal efforts. It’s good to know what they all are.

After being in this business for decades, I also strongly suggest you take these steps:

  • Communicate with your landlord


Reach out to your landlord as soon as possible and honestly explain your situation. If you’ve lost your job, let them know. They can’t help if they don’t know the problem. Being upfront can pay off.


In most areas, you don’t have to move out until there is a legal finding against you. That gives you time to potentially figure out a solution that doesn’t result in having to move out.


Local legal aid offices are a good place to turn for assistance. If they can’t help, they can likely direct you to someone who can.


Under the present circumstances, your landlord doesn’t likely want to look for a new tenant. Talk to him/her. You won’t know what they are willing to entertain if you don’t even talk to them. Ways to reduce your cost include waiving rent, reducing rent or perhaps using a security deposit for rent.


Some states and local municipalities have put their own eviction restrictions into place. Find out. They might pertain to your situation.


There is still talk in Washington about another relief package and many are advocating to extend eviction protection.

NOM names Brian Atwood Chief Executive Officer

Leave a comment



LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

NOM, the leading solution for brand-suitable, contextually relevant video advertising, today announced the appointment of Brian Atwood as chief executive officer. Atwood joins NOM to accelerate client success and the company’s growth during a time in which brands are under intense pressure to be more efficient in their marketing efforts, even as the ad industry remains riddled with fraud and waste. Prior to NOM, Atwood served on the leadership teams of Zefr, dataxu, iHeart Radio and AOL. He was also a member of the board at the Mobile Marketing Association (MMA).

“NOM ensures our clients’ ads reach their YouTube, and other video and social audiences and are aligned with content that reflects the brand’s values while eliminating wasted spend and exposure to questionable content,” said CEO Brian Atwood. “During a tough time in the market, I am excited to lead a high-integrity organization and do what I can to empower our amazing team, clients and partners to win.”

NOM is the only contextual advertising solution laser-focused on the combination of human intervention and machine learning to ensure accuracy with full transparency, empowering agencies and brands to hit their KPIs with unsurpassed levels of contextual relevance and brand-suitability.

NOM already has a substantial advantage in today’s marketplace. Until now, however, the company primarily focused inward as it focused on helping the advertisers it serves to get a lead in their respective markets and advance the targeting, brand suitability, delivery and optimization technologies needed to future-proof its clients’ success. Moving forward, NOM plans to be much more vocal on topics it believes its clients and the market-at-large need to be educated on in order to help brands ward off the damage and costs of fraud, waste and egregious exposure.

“Ultimately, we feel that advertisers determined to succeed in an environment where content choices are both overwhelmingly large and incredibly nuanced deserve honesty, transparency and a curated experience in order to succeed,” said Atwood. “That’s what NOM delivers.”

Over the quarter and throughout 2021, Atwood and his team will be doubling down on efforts to provide clients and prospects with more guidance in areas such as:


  • How to safely and effectively advertise on YouTube and social media platforms with video-level targeting strategies

  • How to eliminate ad waste — a substantial problem in the current market

  • Transparent reporting

  • The best cross-device advertising methods and playbooks in a privacy-first world

The company also has a number of new product releases anticipated for this fall and the year ahead.

NOM’s premium portfolio of clients includes Bumble, Disney, Harley Davidson, Patagonia, PBS, Toyota and many others. In 2019, NOM ranked #10 in the Inc. 5000 and was named “Startup of the Year” by ThinkLA.

ReFirm Labs Launches IoT Cybersecurity Education Program to Advance Cyber Skills and Tackle Emerging National Security Threats

Leave a comment


News Image

We are excited to help provide the hands-on education that is needed to build the next generation of cyber professionals and fill the cyber skills gap, and ultimately defend our society in cyberspace.


FULTON, Md. (PRWEB)

ReFirm Labs, a provider of the industry’s first proactive IoT and firmware security solutions, today launched the IoT Cybersecurity Education Program with the mission to advance cyber education around IoT devices while helping tackle the national security problem of emerging IoT threats.

By providing free access to its Centrifuge automated firmware analysis platform, ReFirm Labs will put the latest technology into the hands of students and researchers at the nation’s top universities to help them explore IoT device security, learn how to build secure products, and conduct their own research.

As 5G communications take off, billions of devices will be connected to networks and critical infrastructure. This presents a major attack surface that has historically been vulnerable. In March the US Cyberspace Solarium Commission’s report highlighted the threat to the nation from cyber attacks and provided recommendations, including improvements to cybersecurity education in order to address the cyber workforce gap of over half a million private and public sector jobs.

“Recently we have seen more universities incorporating firmware analysis and reverse engineering into their curriculum, to teach product security assessment techniques or to just educate students about the risks of network connected devices. We have also seen more students conducting and publishing their own vulnerability research,” said Derick Naef, CEO of ReFirm Labs. “We are excited to help provide the hands-on education that is needed to build the next generation of cyber professionals and fill the cyber skills gap, and ultimately defend our society in cyberspace.”

In the first phase of the program, ReFirm Labs will partner with 10 higher education institutions to provide access to the Centrifuge Platform. ReFirm will also create and foster a community to promote collaboration and sharing of curriculum, labs, and research ideas. Because Centrifuge is a cloud-based platform and requires no agents on the network or SDK implementation on the device, students and researchers can access it remotely for classes that have moved online.

One early adopter of Centrifuge in the classroom, Dr. TJ O’Connor, Program Chair Cybersecurity for Computer Engineering and Sciences at Florida Tech, said, “We used Centrifuge in an undergraduate class this spring, and it really opened the students’ view of the abundance and severity of vulnerabilities in current firmware for a wide range of IoT devices. With the Centrifuge Code Analysis, students were able to uncover binaries with unsafe function calls and lacked memory protection. Further, with the Centrifuge Software BOM reports, our students uncovered current firmwares using legacy software components with known vulnerabilities. The ease of the platform provided students an opportunity to quickly dissect and discover the insecurity of several firmware samples.”

Texas A&M will also adopt Centrifuge for undergraduate education, as well as to support research evaluating the cybersecurity of next generation equipment at the Internet2 Technology Evaluation Center (ITEC). Dr. Walt Magnussen, Director of ITEC, said, “We work with more than 340 leading research universities in the nation to support the deployment of advanced communication and collaboration services such as Next Generation 9-1-1, Public Safety Voice Services and Public Safety Information Sharing. Information Assurance has to be a primary consideration in all of these areas. Providing access to IoT security tools such as Centrifuge supports our mission to collaborate with industry and make leading-edge technology accessible to graduate and undergraduate students.”

ReFirm Labs is focused on building solutions to evaluate the security of IoT and embedded systems and is the creator of the binwalk open source tool, which is used by security researchers worldwide as a starting point in studying vulnerabilities in IoT devices.

How to Participate in the IoT Cybersecurity Education Program

Participation is open to higher education institutions with a cybersecurity curriculum that involves firmware analysis, penetration testing, reverse engineering, or building secure devices. Interested parties can reach out to ReFirm Labs by visiting the IoT Cybersecurity Education Program website: https://www.refirmlabs.com/education

About ReFirm Labs

ReFirm Labs provides the industry’s first IoT and firmware security solutions that proactively vet, validate and continuously monitor IoT devices from hidden threats. Its flagship product, Centrifuge Platform®, detects and reports potential zero-day vulnerabilities, hidden crypto keys, backdoor passwords and known vulnerabilities in IoT devices without needing access to source code. ReFirm Labs’ technology has been proven to provide the insight and intelligence needed for users to proactively defend connected devices and maintain compliance and the integrity of supply chain security. Founded by a team of former NSA offensive cyber operators, ReFirm Labs is trusted by government agencies and Fortune 500 companies that operate in a wide variety of industries, including: telecommunications, cloud infrastructure and data centers, automotive, health care, utilities, and manufacturing.

Tessitura Network Leadership Transition Set for Year-End

Leave a comment



DALLAS (PRWEB)

As planned five years ago by Jack Rubin, CEO & Co-Founder of the Tessitura Network, and the Board, Jack will be transitioning to an Advisory / Ambassador status at year-end and will serve in that capacity during 2021. Andrew Recinos, who has served as Tessitura president since 2017, and has been associated in various roles and capacities with Tessitura since 2002, was appointed by the Board to be President & CEO starting January 1, 2021.

Jack commented, “I could not be prouder of what the exceptional Tessitura Network team has accomplished over the last nineteen years. We formed a unique non-profit cooperative business model governed by our users for the success of arts, cultural, and public media organizations. To that end, we implemented a unified Tessitura software platform and provided exceptional support and service for over 700 organizations of all sizes and maintained a retention rate of over 95%. We continually innovate Tessitura every year as our mission calls for. And, we facilitate the ongoing sharing of knowledge and insights between organizations and professionals locally, nationally, and globally. I never expected to be leaving during a pandemic when I drew up this timeline years ago and I am confident the Tessitura Network is well positioned to weather the storm and provide real value to our users no matter what stage of the recovery they are in. Andrew Recinos is an exceptional leader and communicator, and has deep and broad experience in arts, culture, and business. His service as a Tessitura consultant, on the Tessitura Next-Generation leadership steering committee, Tessitura Executive Vice President, and Tessitura President has been at the highest performing levels. We have been working closely together for years, and I have complete confidence the company is well positioned to enter our third decade leading the industry and advancing the business of arts and culture.”

“We’ve been preparing for this for quite a while,” said Rubin. “Above all, we wanted to create a smooth leadership transition that would be comfortable for both our team and our member organizations. Andrew and I have been making major decisions jointly for some time and the company is exceptionally well structured financially and organizationally. I look forward to continued involvement to assist in any roles in 2021 that can be valuable. Until then we have a great deal to accomplish.”

Ellen Gallagher, Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer of the American Museum of Natural History, and currently the board chair of the Tessitura Network noted, “under Jack’s leadership, with Co-Founder Chuck Reif, SVP of Technology, the Tessitura Network was born, grew globally to ten countries and many sectors, and thrived. He recruited and has led a talented team of passionate, empathetic, and service-minded experts that serve the Tessitura community well. He continually evolved this company for the benefit of all who use Tessitura. His contributions to this company and this industry are enormous and we thank him and look forward to his continuing assistance. The board knew this transition was coming for some time and we are thrilled with the Network team overall, the leadership of the Network across all functions, and believe Andrew will be a terrific successor as the second CEO of the Tessitura Network.”

Andrew commented: “I am honored to be chosen by the Tessitura Network Board to serve as President & CEO beginning in 2021. Jack Rubin has crafted this business from a tiny startup to a global force for good. I look forward to leading the next chapter of our story. I have worked alongside Jack for more than eight years and learned from him every day. As we look to the future, I am committed to continuing Tessitura’s mission-driven focus on innovation, service, community, and industry leadership. This transition comes at an undeniably difficult time for our members and our industry. I am humbled and proud to lead our talented team in helping our members navigate their current realities and evolve toward a stronger future.”
