Now, Ledger Nano S owners can plug directly into the new ShapeShift Platform, earn 100 FOX tokens and take advantage of the industry’s only free crypto-to-crypto trading option. We hope this further encourages people away from custodial alternatives.” — Erik Voorhees, ShapeShift CEO

LONDON (PRWEB)
December 11, 2019

ShapeShift, one of the world’s leading self-custody crypto exchanges, announced today that its much anticipated integration with Ledger Nano S devices is now live on the ShapeShift Platform. Ledger Nano S users can plug their hardware wallet into ShapeShift.com and enjoy zero-commission crypto trading from their device. They also receive 100 FOX tokens after signup.

The integration gives Ledger Nano S users free access to ShapeShift’s simple web interface and powerful dashboard for portfolio management. Users can track, send, receive, and secure their crypto without an account at Beta.ShapeShift.com. Users can also buy and trade crypto with a verified account.

“The crypto revolution is meaningless if people don’t control their own keys,” said ShapeShift founder and CEO, Erik Voorhees. “Ledger’s hardware wallet is the most popular in the world. Now, Ledger Nano S owners can plug directly into the new ShapeShift Platform, earn 100 FOX tokens and take advantage of the industry’s only free crypto-to-crypto trading option. We hope this further encourages people away from custodial alternatives.”

Having pioneered a self-custody model with its original crypto trading service, the new ShapeShift.com expands that same ethos into an integrated web platform for digital asset management. Users retain complete control of their crypto assets and private keys through their hardware wallet, but now have the convenience and ease-of-use typically found in centralized solutions.

“Both Ledger and ShapeShift uniquely understand the importance of crypto users having complete control of their digital assets and private keys, which makes this partnership a perfect fit,” said Ledger’s CEO Pascal Gauthier. “This integration gives Ledger users free access to ShapeShift’s platform, providing yet another option for managing their assets with the security peace of mind that Ledger is known for.”

The Ledger integration for Nano S comes as the latest feature addition to the ShapeShift Platform. In November, ShapeShift brought zero commission trading to its platform through its highly anticipated FOX token. Each FOX token provides $10 of free trading volume on a rolling 30-day basis. The tokens aren’t spent or consumed; customers hold them in their wallets. New users can create an account in minutes and receive 100 FOX tokens, enabling $1,000 of commission free trading every 30 days.

In the spirit of the holidays, we are so pleased to be able to donate to an incredibly valuable resource in our community, and to hopefully put smiles on the faces of the many pediatric patients at Cardon this December.

TEMPE, Ariz. (PRWEB)
December 12, 2019

Isos Technology, a leading Atlassian Platinum and Enterprise Solution Partner, today announced that it has organized a holiday toy drive for Cardon Children’s Medical Center in Mesa, Arizona, a pediatric healthcare facility affiliated with Banner Health®, one of the largest nonprofit health care systems in the country. Isos hosts an annual toy drive every December as part of its commitment to Pledge 1%, a movement that empowers companies to donate 1% of product, 1% of equity, 1% of profit or 1% of employee time to improve communities around the world. Spearheaded by organizations such as Atlassian, Rally, Salesforce, and Tides, Pledge 1% has generated 5 billion dollars in philanthropy through its top companies. It consists of over 8,500 businesses in 100 countries. Pledge 1% has experienced a 150% growth rate since its inception.

To fulfill its promise to Pledge 1%, Isos called upon its employees, as well as the community, to celebrate the annual holiday season of giving by donating items from an Amazon.com wish list, which were specifically requested by Cardon Children’s Medical Center. So far, over 120 gifts have been purchased. Isos has also agreed to match employee and community donations. In total, close to 250 gifts will be delivered to the pediatric medical facility on December 12th at 11:00 AM.

“One of our core values here at Isos Technology is to be generous within the community, and our employees support and volunteer at a variety of philanthropic organizations,” says Thad West, CEO of Isos Technology. “I’m absolutely thrilled that our company was able to set this valuable initiative in motion. In the spirit of the holidays, we are so pleased to be able to donate to an incredibly valuable resource in our community, and to hopefully put smiles on the faces of the many pediatric patients at Cardon this December.”

Ryan Guard, of Isos Technology, recently recounted his experience as a 10-year-old patient at Cardon. Ryan remembers the impact that the facility’s selection of video games had on his stay, and says that “Cardon Children’s Medical Center depends on “the generosity of people like you and me to provide toys and games for the kids.” He and his fellow co-workers initiated this toy drive to ensure “that every kid at Cardon Children’s has the most enjoyable experience that they can while they’re getting the care that they need.”

2020 Tech Predictions and Trends

“All businesses need to take stock of how they’re securing their infrastructure,” said Chris Martin, security expert and solutions architect at Matrix Integration. There are more solutions than ever before to secure a network from inside out, and these technologies are now scalable and affordable.”

INDIANAPOLIS (PRWEB)
December 09, 2019

Cyberattacks are one of the fastest growing crimes in the world, so businesses need to up their cybersecurity plans in 2020, according to Matrix Integration, a strategic IT infrastructure partner for more than 1,000 businesses and schools in Indiana and beyond. A survey by Hiscox, a global specialist insurer, found illegal breeches had an average cost of $200,000 per incident. The same survey reported that nearly two-thirds of firms were attacked via their supply chain, and small- and medium-sized businesses made up a larger proportion of total cyberattacks than in previous years.*

“All businesses need to take stock of how they’re securing their infrastructure,” said Chris Martin, security expert and solutions architect at Matrix Integration. “Criminals are finding new entryways to exploit businesses. Fortunately, there are more solutions than ever before to secure a network from inside out, and these sophisticated technologies are now scalable and at a price point that most businesses can afford.”

As 2020 approaches, Matrix Integration experts expect the following solutions to become more deeply embedded within business cybersecurity frameworks:

1. IoT security will become more prevalent, as businesses from manufacturing to health care increasingly employ devices and equipment that “talk” to each other via the internet.

2. More companies will employ network access control (NAC) solutions. NAC solutions help IT administrators gain immediate access and visibility to quickly see who is on the system and what they’re doing.

3. End-to-end security mitigation/analysis/interoperation. With more attacks targeting different aspects of the business, such as the supply chain, businesses have an even greater necessity to monitor security breaches no matter where they originate. Coordinating all these technologies to work seamlessly is both a challenge and an opportunity.

4. Artificial intelligence (AI) isn’t just for big businesses anymore. In 2020, more organizations will have access to AI tools that continuously monitor activity within networks and rapidly detect anomalies.

5. Advances in security information and event management (SIEM) products and services will help businesses both detect and mitigate security issues on the network in real-time.

6. Businesses often use MFA (multifactor authentication) in high-security industries like finance, but now it’s even easier for companies to employ the same technology to verify employees and guests who are using the network while keeping out unauthorized visitors.

7. Single sign-on solutions continue to gain traction. These tools often work alongside MFA solutions to allow users to gain access to applications they’re authorized to use with just one login and password. This helps system administrators control access to the network while reducing the amount of information users need to remember.

8. More organizations will turn to identity as a service (IDaaS), which provides cloud-based subscriptions to help authenticate users and manage their activity. IDaaS, as with all cloud-based services, adapt quickly to new situations, can be scaled up or down depending on needs, and do not require hardware or infrastructure to implement.

9. Role-based security, which allows specific users to access only authorized parts of the network based on their job, will become easier to enforce as enhanced data loss prevention (DLP) and data classification tools help system administrators organize and protect which applications and information certain users can access.

10. Collaborative security efforts will continue to grow as employees learn about how their individual actions can protect the entire organization. Organizations will work together from the top-down and bottom-up to make cybersecurity a priority.
