High Wire Networks Taps IT Security Expert David Barton as CTO for Overwatch Managed Security Platform-as-a-Service


David Barton, Chief Technology Officer, High Wire Networks

“High Wire’s mission is to give midmarket enterprises and small and medium businesses access to the best security experts and systems in the world, which they can’t realistically obtain or afford on their own. Our role in the cybersecurity world is part missionary, part equalizer.”

High Wire Networks, providers of the Overwatch Managed Security Platform-as-a-Service, announced today that cybersecurity expert David Barton has joined the company as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). In his role, Barton will have oversight of technology solutions and channel sales engineering for the Overwatch Managed Security Platform as a Service.

Barton joins High Wire with more than 20 years of experience in cybersecurity with companies in various industries, including telecommunications, health care, software development, finance, mortgage and government.

Most recently, Barton was the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for Stellar Cyber, makers of the Starlight Open Detection & Response (Open-XDR) security platform. Prior to that he was COO for 5Iron LLC, a managed security services provider (MSSP), and CISO for ForcePoint Inc., a provider of cybersecurity user and data protection technology. He also spent 12 years working for telecommunications giants AT&T/Cingular and Sprint/Nextel. Barton began his career with the United States Air Force, where he spent five years developing and deploying classified and unclassified networks, an experience he calls the foundation for his long career in IT and cybersecurity.

Significantly, Barton has developed, implemented and supported security programs in highly regulated environments with emphasis on Sarbanes Oxley (SOX), Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI – DSS), NIST and ISO 27000 Information Security Management Systems (ISMS) standards.

“David has a broad range of experience working with organizations of all sizes and industries – from a highly regulated hospital to a midsize MSSP,” said High Wire CEO Mark Porter. “This gives him a unique perspective to support our MSP partners and their most exacting customers. He also has a first-hand understanding of the challenges that MSPs and their small and medium business customers face in securing their data and IT systems.”

“The reality is there’s not enough security talent to go around, which leaves many organizations vulnerable,” said Barton. “High Wire’s mission is to give midmarket enterprises and small and medium businesses access to the best security experts and systems in the world, which they can’t realistically obtain or afford on their own. Our role in the cybersecurity world is part missionary, part equalizer – to me, that’s exciting.”

As CTO, Barton will ensure that the Overwatch Managed Security Platform has the most current cybersecurity technologies delivered in a cost-effective manner. He will work in tandem with High Wire Network’s CISO Philip Burnett, who will oversee the security analysts that monitor the platform and guide their response to the data the platform generates.

As the technical sales leader, Barton will be able to translate customer requirements into technology solutions. He’ll leverage his extensive real-world experience as a trusted adviser to High Wire Network’s MSP sales partners and their customers.

Top Tips That Will Help Drivers Get Cheaper Car Insurance


News Image

“For many, car insurance seems to be expensive and they have a hard time paying for their premiums. Luckily, there are many methods that can help them pay less on insurance”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Everyone knows that car insurance can get pretty expensive and there are many who struggle to pay the monthly premiums. However, car insurance doesn’t’ have to be expensive and there are plenty of methods that can help drivers pay lower insurance rates.

To save money on car insurance, drivers should check the next tips:

  • Look for better insurance deals. Car insurance companies are known for changing their insurance rates quite often. Drivers that are no longer satisfied by their premiums, should search for another provider. Brokerage websites can help drivers obtain getter deals. It only takes a few moments to go to a brokerage website, complete the online questionnaire, and to compare the results.
  • Exclude high-risk drivers from the policy. Policyholders should be careful about who they add and who to declare as the main driver. Policyholders should avoid adding too many inexperienced drivers to their policies. Also, if a teen driver is using the car the most, then he should be declared as the main driver, in order to avoid harsh penalties.
  • Join a defensive driving course. Defensive driving programs are cheap and they do not take too long to be completed. Everyone can join these classes, and learn how to stay safe on the roads, new safe driving techniques, and if the traffic laws have changed and how they have changed. Drivers should talk to their insurers and see how much they can save after graduating an approved defensive driving course.
  • Install safety devices. There are many aftermarket safety devices to choose from. However, before installing any safety devices, drivers should contact their insurers and check which devices are approved and how much they can save on insurance.
  • Raise the deductible. Drivers that own full coverage, can save money by choosing to pay a higher deductible before asking for reimbursement in case of a crash. With the money they save on insurance they should open a savings account that can be used whenever they need to file a claim.

Team Cymru Joins Growing Number of Network Time Foundation Members


Logo

Network Time Foundation

There are few services that generously benefit the entire Internet and everything connected to it.

Network Time Foundation (NTF) today announced that Team Cymru, cyber threat intelligence pioneer and provider of threat hunting and incident response solutions, has joined the foundation as members of the NTP (Network Time Protocol) Consortium, Time Source Consortium, and the General TimeStamp API Consortium.

“There are few services that generously benefit the entire Internet and everything connected to it,” commented Rob Thomas, Founder and CEO of Team Cymru. “NTF builds such a service, making accurate time possible. We are honored to support their important mission and look forward to helping them grow while helping the wider Internet community recognize their importance to us all.”

Network Time Foundation is the home of the NTP Project, which still leads the development and evolution of the Network Time Protocol after nearly four decades, as well as the LinuxPTP Project.NTF provides direct services and support to improve the state of accurate computer network timekeeping in the general community.  The scope of NTF’s work includes helping to craft the precise description of how to exchange time (standardizing protocols and behaviors), writing enterprise-quality software and documentation, understanding and accommodating how things behave in a wide variety of real-world situations, and helping people and organizations know and trust that they have reliable and accurate timestamps.

Team Cymru’s involvement will help accelerate NTF’s Network Time Protocol and General Timestamp API projects. The General Timestamp API project is a newer endeavor garnering much attention, because it allows us to more clearly understand a sequence of events. From being able to reconstruct a series of mechanical failures in a catastrophic incident to determining the root cause of a cyber-attack, accurate timestamps are key. For example, more accurate timestamps on the electrical grid’s computer logs during the 2003 blackout in the Northeast region of the United States could have allowed incident responders to determine what happened faster, reducing the time that people were without power and perhaps even saving lives.

”NTF is excited to begin a much closer working relationship with Team Cymru,” commented Harlan Stenn, Founder and CEO of Network Time Foundation. “For more than 35 years’ time, people and organizations have been relying on our software and, because ‘it just works,’ have been able to ignore who we are and what we do.  As complexities and threats grow and encroach on our infrastructure, it’s great to have a partner like Team Cymru that works hand in hand with organizations that must actively deal with and be aware of today’s threats, helping to identify what are actual threats and what is FUD.”

About Network Time Foundation

Since 1981, the work of the Network Time Foundation has been vital to the infrastructure of our modern world. A 501(c)(3) public benefit organization, NTF develops, produces and maintains the most widely used open-source, precision time software. Secure and reliable timekeeping is essential to record keeping in all industries, from financial to medical and beyond. Without NTF and its projects, the flow of information to Internet devices would slow or even stop. Additional information at https://www.nwtime.org/

About Team Cymru

Since 2005, Team Cymru’s mission has been to save and improve lives by working with public and private sector entities to discover, track and take down threat actors and criminals around the globe. We do this by delivering comprehensive visibility into global Internet traffic and cyber threat activity. Team Cymru collects, processes and aggregates global netflow and 50+ other types of data to give our clients Pure Signal™. This provides the broadest visibility into malicious activity across the Internet. We are seeing more than 500,000 events per second and delivering that information to our users in an actionable way. The most advanced cybersecurity teams and investigators around the world rely on our solutions to uncover the who, what, when, where and why of malicious behavior. They also leverage this global visibility to identify, map, and block malicious infrastructure before the threat even reach an enterprise’s doorstep. Our data is incomparable — Pure Signal™ — and our partners and clients use it to make the world a safer place. For more information visit cymru.com

Baden Sports Announces New CEO, COO


Jake (Licht) and Casey (Schindler) are proven leaders and we have confidence that, along with the great team in place, Baden has a very bright future. — Baden Sports’ Board of Directors

Baden Sports’ Board of Directors today announced it has appointed Jake Licht as President and Chief Executive Officer, and Casey Schindler as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.

The promotions elevate the company’s third generation of family leadership following the unexpected passing of longtime CEO Michael J. Schindler, the son of Baden founder E.C. Schindler, on Feb. 19.

Licht and Schindler both served in executive leadership roles at Baden prior to assuming their new responsibilities earlier this month. They will be tasked with continuing Baden’s 40-year legacy of innovation, quality, and service that has made the Seattle-area company one of the most respected ball and bat brands in the industry.

“We are grateful for the foundation that Michael worked so hard to create, both in terms of successful products and businesses, and for the way he mentored and prepared a group of capable leaders across the company,” said Baden’s Board of Directors. “Jake and Casey are proven leaders and we have confidence that, along with the great team in place, Baden has a very bright future.”

Jake Licht

Licht, the son-in-law of Michael Schindler, has been Baden’s COO since 2016, overseeing all aspects of the company’s global operations, sales, and marketing. Under his leadership, Baden improved its manufacturing capabilities, streamlined its international supply chain, expanded its custom and backyard product offerings, grew key partner relationships, and successfully relaunched its brand.

As CEO, Licht will also oversee Axe® Bat, a sub brand and business division of Baden’s since 2016. Axe Bat designs and manufactures baseball and softball bats with a patented axe-shaped handle; the shape gives players more bat speed, barrel control, and comfort compared to a traditional round knob.

Licht holds bachelor’s degrees in management information systems and East Asian studies from Western Washington University, and a Master of Science in Software Development Management from Carnegie Mellon University. He joined Baden in 2014 from Boeing, where he held leadership positions in program and product management.

“I’m honored to be a part of the next generation of leaders at Baden,” Licht said. “We have a rich history here, and an exciting future together. I look forward to working with the Board and our executive team as we navigate this time of transition, chart our path forward, and empower our employees to continue making quality, innovative products that improve the game for the player.”

Casey Schindler

Schindler, the son of Michael Schindler, joined Baden in 2011 and has worked in all areas of the organization. For the past five years, he has managed or led various aspects of Baden’s forecasting, purchasing, global logistics, and inventory management systems, first as Supply Chain Manager and most recently as Director of Operations.

In his new role, he will have expanded responsibilities for global operations and be in charge of building teams, processes, and systems that improve Baden’s operational efficiency and sustain growth.

He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Washington.

“Baden has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember,” Schindler said. “And while the circumstances of this transition are personally heartbreaking, I can think of no greater honor than to be a part of the leadership team that carries Baden’s mission of authenticity, responsiveness, and innovation forward into the next generation.”

Insurance Options Available in the U.S.


News Image

“Besides the minimum required liability insurance that all drivers are required to purchase, there are other policies that can offer coverage in various situations”, said Russell Rabichev, Marketing Director of Internet Marketing Company.

Compare-autoinsurance.org has launched a new blog post that presents several types of car insurance policies.

For more info and free online quotes, please visit https://compare-autoinsurance.org/insurance-options-available-for-u-s-drivers/.

Drivers that are living in the US have multiple choices for choosing the insurance policy they need. Besides the minimum required liability insurance that is imposed by each state, there are other types of insurance coverages that drivers might find them useful.

The most common car insurance options are the following:

  • Liability insurance. In most states, the law imposes the drivers to carry at least liability insurance. In case of a car accident, liability insurance will reimburse the costs of repairing the damaged property and the medical bills of the injured victims of an at-fault driver. Drivers not carrying this type of insurance will have to pay the costs for repairs and medical bills from their own pockets. Also, they will have to face the legal consequences of driving without having insurance.
  • Collision insurance. This coverage will pay to repair the policyholder’s damaged vehicle. If the damaged vehicle is declared to be totaled, then the policyholder will be reimbursed with the actual value of his vehicle at the time of the accident. Drivers that own new or expensive vehicles should purchase collision insurance.
  • Comprehensive insurance. This policy will pay to repair or replace a damaged vehicle in an event that is not collision such as, fire, theft, flood, vandalism, etc. In most cases, this coverage will pay damages suffered due to things uncontrollable and unavoidable by the owner.
  • Personal injury protection. Also known as PIP, this insurance policy will provide coverage to the policyholder and his passengers. The costs of an accident can be quite high and in order to pay for the damage, drivers should acquire PIP insurance. This coverage will reimburse the medical bills of the policyholder and his passengers., no matter who is at-fault in a car accident.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured policy. It will pay for the policyholder and his passenger medical bills, lost wages, or other losses in the case the at-fault driver is not found, has no insurance, or has insufficient insurance to cover all the costs.
