AFWERX, the catalyst for fostering innovation within the U.S. Air Force, announced Nanoramic Laboratories as one of the 178 top participating teams selected from The AFWERX Space Challenge initiative to exhibit at EngageSpace, a virtual two-day event on September 29-30.

The AFWERX Space Challenge initiative is made up of four challenges targeted at creating integrated space operations leveraging the best in technology while maintaining security, being resilient and increasing agility. Four challenges were run concurrently focused on separate topics – Persistent ISR, DoD Commercial Space Partnerships, Global Space Transport and Delivery and Space Asset Resiliency.

Located in Boston, Nanoramic is competing in the Space Asset Resiliency Challenge alongside a diverse group of teams that represent entrepreneurial startups, small businesses, large enterprises, academic institutions, and research labs.

“The solutions submitted for these space challenges represent the bleeding edge of space innovation,” stated Brennan Townley, AFWERX Challenge Collaboration Lead. “We’re excited to highlight these innovators and connect them with opportunities across the Space ecosystem.”

The Space Asset Resiliency Challenge strives to increase the longevity of our space assets by increasing their durability against the unique space environment and enemy threats.

Nanoramic’s high power, high energy, Li-ion battery solution uses proprietary Neocarbonix electrodes to provide major advances in Li-ion energy storage devices, combining high energy and power density with better resilience and lower costs. The Neocarbonix electrodes are configured with an advanced 3-D nanoscopic carbon binding structure that eliminates the need for polymer binders, providing greater power, energy and performance in extreme environments compared to traditional battery electrode designs.

Nanoramic’s Li-ion battery solution appeals to the in-space maneuvering needs of the Air Force, specifically for improving battery safeguarding measures, protecting physical assets (satellites, equipment, astronauts, etc.), and enhancing maneuvering capabilities by providing a more compact and elastic mobile battery option.

“The Nanoramic team is excited to have the opportunity to present our Neocarbonix technology and show how it can help the U.S. Air Force improve in-space maneuvering”, said Mitch Koffel, VP of Business Development at Nanoramic Laboratories. “It is an honor to present our technology alongside all of the innovative companies selected for the AFWERX EngageSpace Showcase”.

The EngageSpace event will feature highly engaging opportunities to connect, educate and innovate with other like-minded attendees, industry leaders, individual innovators, academia, investors, as well as military and government leaders.

BullGuard’s industry-leading Advantage Partner Program and unrivaled revenue share scheme has made BullGuard the channel’s favorite endpoint security vendor.

BullGuard’s new MSP functionality allows channel partners to extend their client support and meet the demand of small business owners who want to outsource their security so they can concentrate on the day-to-day running of their businesses

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
September 15, 2020

Multi-award winning cybersecurity company, BullGuard, today announced new Managed Service Provider (MSP) functionality within its BullGuard Small Office Security product. The new MSP platform, which provides comprehensive management of customer endpoint devices, offers revenue growth and customer expansion opportunities for both MSPs and IT resellers who want to move into service provision.

The dedicated MSP functionality in BullGuard Small Office Security enables remote management of all customer endpoint devices, including Windows®, Android® and macOS® devices, regardless of whether employees are in an office, working remotely or traveling. The set-up and software deployment process of Small Office Security is both effortless and quick. MSPs can set up new customers within minutes, with simple enrollment via an email invitation, while an easy-to-use, centralized Cloud Admin Portal enables MSPs to manage multiple client accounts and all their endpoint devices within a single platform.

The portal interface gives MSPs a 360-degree view of each of their clients’ online security status. MSPs can deploy BullGuard Small Office Security on behalf of their clients and remotely carry out tasks such as activating and deactivating devices, scanning for threats, applying updates, or locking a device if it is lost or stolen. MSPs also receive real-time alerts about possible issues with devices, so they can react with lightning speed to resolve any problems and ensure their customers are kept safe.

At the core of Small Office Security is BullGuard’s multi-award-winning internet security, alongside ease-of-use and affordability, all of which make it a compelling platform for small businesses. BullGuard Small Office Security allows MSPs to provide small businesses with the protection they need and at a price they can afford. BullGuard partners can also present a range of flexible billing options to suit individual business needs. Subscriptions are available for one-, two- or three-year durations, or monthly subscriptions can be set and administered to allow flexibility if a customer’s security needs change.

“At BullGuard, we understand the importance of our channel partners and their success, which is why we are committed to delivering comprehensive products that are attractive to their clients. We are always looking to open up new business opportunities that can generate additional revenue for partners and help them to expand and differentiate,” said BullGuard Head of Global Sales, Steve Hicks.

“We launched BullGuard Small Office Security to provide our channel partners with a product that met the demands of the increasingly vulnerable SMB market. Now, more than ever, small businesses are under attack by cybercriminals who are taking advantage of the large-scale movement of employees working from home — many of them with their own devices. As a result, it is more important than ever for business owners to ensure their devices and networks are protected. With the new MSP functionality, our channel partners can extend their client support and meet the demand of small business owners who want to outsource their security so they can concentrate on the day-to-day running of their businesses. We are excited to deliver yet another opportunity for our partners to develop their business with the potential for notable revenue growth,” Hicks concluded.
