Plurilock Announces Addition of Cybersecurity Leader Ed Hammersla to Board of Directors


Plurilock Security Solutions, Inc., leading provider of behavioral-biometric authentication technologies, this week announced the addition of seasoned software executive Ed Hammersla, formerly of Trusted Computer Solutions (TCS), to its board of directors. The appointment took effect as of April 1st, 2020.

Hammersla brings over 40 years of software and cybersecurity experience to Plurilock as an independent director, including successful tenures at TCS, Forcepoint, Raytheon Cyber Products, IBM, NEC, Informix Federal, and Sterling Software.

“With Ed’s completely unique background in cybersecurity platforms, ecosystems, and infrastructure, we saw him immediately as a key addition to our growing team,” says Barry Carlson, chairman of Plurilock’s board of directors. “Ed has insights, connections, and experiences across the industry that can’t be duplicated. We’re fortunate to add such a steady wellspring of knowledge and skill to our leadership team.”

A startup veteran with deep ties to the venture capital community as a CEO, investor, and advisor, Hammersla was also instrumental in the development of the trusted Linux platform that gave rise to industry-standard Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and now serves on the external advisory board of the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute.

“We’re in a moment of rapid change in the security industry,” says Plurilock CEO Ian Paterson. “Companies are shifting rapidly to a remote workforce posture even as the best practices of a few years ago—one-time passwords, biometric scans, anti-malware, and so on—are really showing cracks and unplanned costs. Ed has a deep understanding of the day-to-day security needs and realities in the verticals that we serve—and how these will evolve going forward.”

Plurilock expects Hammersla’s critical expertise in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environments, security policy and compliance, and enterprise cybersecurity to support its continued growth and expanding list of offerings and capabilities.

Coterie Advisors Expands their Fundamental Care Program with the Launch of Limited Benefit Indemnity Medical Plans for Employers


News Image

This addition of Limited Benefit Indemnity Plans combined with our Level-Funded Limited Day Health Plans offers a solution from Coterie Advisors that no one else in the marketplace is doing.

Coterie Advisory Group Inc., whose founding partners include some of the original founders of Star HRG (Starbridge) and Ternian Insurance Group, have announced the launch of employer-focused Limited Benefit Indemnity Medical Plans. Marketed under the Fundamental Care brand name, Coterie Advisors will now offer Limited Benefit Indemnity solutions for large employers with part-time, hourly and seasonal workers – an employee benefits marketplace they have decades of experience in.

Their Limited Benefit Indemnity plans will allow employers to offer affordable and unique health insurance options for their uninsured, part-time and hourly workers which provides coverage for basic medical expenses. This new addition will complement Coterie Advisor’s flagship product, their level-funded Limited Day Health Plan, which offers near-comprehensive coverage at 30-40% less than the cost of traditional high-deductible group health plans.

Through a combined offering strategy, Fundamental Care allows large employers to strategically offer customized benefit solutions to different classes of their employee population for little to no cost to the employer. Employers can reward a carve-out segment of their employee population who are tenured/key employees with a higher-level of medical coverage and employer contributions, while providing all other part-timers with day-one voluntary coverage.

Aaron Cook, President of Coterie Advisors, said “Our founding partners have spent our careers focused on providing affordable health insurance alternatives to meet the unique needs of employers and their part-time employees.” He added, “We have always found ways to be innovative with our programs while offering benefit brokers a strategic and consultative approach for their clients. This addition of Limited Benefit Indemnity Plans combined with our Level-Funded Limited Day Health Plans offers a solution from Coterie Advisors that no one else in the marketplace is doing.”

The affordability void in healthcare continues to be a major issue in the United States. With over 28 Million uninsured and 70% of workers living paycheck to paycheck, Coterie Advisors continues to manufacture solutions that meet the needs of the underserved. Fundamental Care provides access to unique and affordable insurance benefits on a guarantee issue basis. Limited Day and Limited Benefit Indemnity plans can be customized and structured with affordable premiums and no deductibles. The plans are high in potential coverage and include upfront, day-one benefits – healthcare employees can actually use. Both plans meet the employer’s ACA mandated requirement for offering Minimum Essential Coverage.

Coterie Advisors believes they are well-positioned to meet the “new normal” of marketplace needs based on the changes that will result from the current economic environment. For more information, please contact your employee benefits broker or visit http://www.fundamentalcare.com or http://www.coterieadvisors.com.

With this partnership, publishers using EX.CO Channels will benefit from having all of their video content contextualized through the IRIS.TV marketplace, making it easier for brand marketers to target relevant ad opportunities on publishers’ sites, and thereby increase growth in revenue.

IRIS.TV, a video intelligence platform for broadcasters and publishers, today announced the introduction of EX.CO to the company’s Contextual Video Marketplace.

Video advertising is brand building so it’s about protecting your investment, winning hearts and minds, and of course seeing superior performance and ROI. Having EX.CO Channels join the marketplace is a win for audiences, publishers and advertisers.”

Lisa appears along with other 48 other nominees in the May 2020 issue of Crain’s Chicago Business. (https://www.chicagobusiness.com/awards/crains-2020-notable-women-construction-and-design)

Yet Lisa still finds time to devote to her own professional development and the charitable organizations she loves.

“I’m thrilled that this nomination calls attention to the important work we’re doing on behalf of women and the whole industry,” offered Lisa Pickell. “I’m fortunate that I not only get to work in the business I love, but that I’m in a position to help make it even better.”

Rio Ferdinand In Special Webinar Moderated By Haute Time With Rick de la Croix


On a footballer with whom he would want to have a boxing match, Ferdinand said, “Wayne Rooney. He used to box when he was younger so it would be a good challenge.”

A goal was scored by Haute Time as we welcomed the English football legend Rio Ferdinand for a chat about the “Beautiful Game” and quarantine days. He was joined by the timekeeping icon, and CEO of MLG Group, Rick de la Croix.

The webinar was hosted by Haute Living Co-founder Seth Semilof. Watch it here: https://www.hautetime.com/webinar-rick-de-la-croix-rio-ferdinand/96918/

Ferdinand played as a center-back and is now a television reporter for BT Sport. He played 81 times for the English national team (several wearing the Captain’s band) between 1997 and 2011 and was a member of three FIFA World Cup squads. While playing for Manchester United, he won six Premier League titles, as well as the UEFA Champions League in 2008.

De la Croix has been one of the main reasons for the ascent of Swiss watchmaker Hublot into the top echelon of timekeeping, having been behind several of the brand’s key partnerships, including those World Boxing Council, Depeche Mode, Pelé, and reggaeton star Nicky Jam. He is also an entrepreneur.

The talk with the two entrepreneurs included topics such as the effects that the pandemic has had on different continents, countries and their economies; the watch industry’s current standing around the world; Ferdinand’s top football career moments; their individual entrepreneurial endeavors, and more.

Highlight quotes from Rio Ferdinand:

  • “My wife and I are juggling our own work with school life, which can be very testing with three kids with three different schedules.”
  • “If we have another three weeks of this (quarantine), it’s not going to kill you. It will get you closer as a family.”
  • “In 2008, we won the Premier League, the UEFA Champions League,” among others. “We felt unbeatable. There are not that many times in life where you feel that no one in the other team can get past you. The feeling doesn’t stay forever and doesn’t stay for too long, but you tell yourself to enjoy that moment.”
  • “Wayne Rooney. He used to box when he was younger so it would be a good challenge,” he said, on a footballer with whom he would want to have a boxing match.
  • “I’m part of a football agency managing company. We are doing video conferences with players and clients to make sure that people feel connected. We are shaping the team for when we eventually come out of this period.”
  • “Amplify is a platform where professionals in the health and well-being space can build their business out from it. The platform can quickly scale their business from having a 30-40 client base to hundreds.”
