SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
September 25, 2019

Multi-award winning consumer cybersecurity company, BullGuard, today announced its new 2020 suite of anti-malware solutions featuring BullGuard’s new Secure Browser and advanced Machine Learning capabilities. BullGuard’s new 2020 security suite empowers consumers to confidently perform sensitive online transactions in absolute safety and rest assured knowing cyber threats are stopped dead in their tracks. Additionally, the BullGuard 2020 product suite now enables direct integration with BullGuard VPN to ensure users’ total privacy when connecting to unsecured Wi-Fi. Also new in 2020, BullGuard Identity Protection now extends and covers 13 countries.

“Evolving protection is critical in this ever-changing cybersecurity landscape and BullGuard 2020 provides consumers with the advanced protection they need to constantly stay safe online against emerging security threats,” said Paul Lipman, CEO of BullGuard. “We continuously strive to deliver real-world innovations and to provide our customers with state-of-the-art cybersecurity products that are simple to use. With BullGuard 2020 we ensure customers enjoy exceptional ease-of-use, backed by BullGuard’s highly acclaimed 24/7 live customer support.”

BullGuard Secure Browser – The BullGuard custom-built Secure Browser provides consumers with a safer way to browse the internet, and more importantly, a safer platform from which to conduct online banking and make sensitive online transactions, such as online shopping and credit card payments with complete confidence. The Secure Browser protects against attacks aimed at browsers, such as hijacking, man-in-the-browser, rootkits, process injection and remote-control attacks, and blocks malicious extensions and plugins. It also safeguards against network attacks such as DNS and TLS/SLS spoofing, and adds a layer of protection against website threats by filtering malicious content as well as detecting website phishing. Notably, the BullGuard Secure Browser features a proprietary Audit Report that looks beyond a website’s security certificate and investigates the website’s behavior and the impact it has on devices. In short, the BullGuard Secure Browser ensures that computer protection is enabled, network security is strong and that users don’t accidentally stray onto malicious websites. Importantly, it also has all the user-friendly features you would expect from a browser, such as address bar hints, web page tabbing, keyboard shortcuts and favorites. The BullGuard Secure Browser is available in BullGuard Internet Security and BullGuard Premium Protection.

Machine Learning – BullGuard’s award-winning anti-malware just got smarter with robust machine learning capabilities integrated with the Sentry behavioral engine to evaluate and categorize new threats directly on the endpoint device, even when offline. This protection boosts zero-day threat-detection capabilities without any impact on the computer’s resources and without the need for an internet connection, ensuring the system is protected even if malware cuts the internet connection. Advanced Machine Learning is included in all three 2020 products: BullGuard Antivirus, BullGuard Internet Security and BullGuard Premium Protection.

Identity Protection – BullGuard’s Identity Protection now monitors more websites than ever before, including thousands more dark web platforms and sites where stolen user data is sold or traded. The robust, intuitive platform enables consumers to easily enter the identity elements they want to track and safeguard a wide array of valuable, personal information, including email addresses, telephone numbers, credit and debit cards, bank account details, driving license and passport details. Identity Protection also now extends to 13 countries, including the UK, US, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Poland and Turkey, so more customers benefit from this deep level of ID protection. Identity Protection is available in BullGuard Premium Protection.

“The fact that Snapchat, on average, has 203 million daily active users makes it hard to ignore the platform’s potential for businesses. We’re excited to be working with the Snap team to bring our merchants this new advertising opportunity.” — Gonzalo Gil, 3dcart CEO

Joseph Weinberg, CEO Paycase Global

It would have been one of the biggest moves forward and a landmark Canadian partnership for the global financial and cryptocurrency industries.

TORONTO (PRWEB)
September 24, 2019

Claim proceeding number is: CV-19-00627887-0000

These agreements were for the joint creation of a crypto brokerage desk and proprietary cryptocurrency data products, in order to provide institutional and retail clients with access to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

In connection with its litigation, Paycase Global has acquired financing from Bentham IMF, one of the most established and experienced commercial litigation funders in the world, to support the claim proceedings.

In connection with TMX’s purported termination of the contracts, Paycase is seeking damages in the amount of $500 million in addition to other remedies, based on revenue forecasts discussed with TMX prior to entering into the contracts and damages incurred.

With these two ventures being first to market, combined with Paycase’s deep knowledge and experience with current and forthcoming regulations, this partnership could have cemented the Paycase/TMX platform as a global leader in the space.

Since the announcement of the Paycase/TMX partnership, similar models have been successfully implemented by other major financial institutions.

Addigy

MIAMI (PRWEB)
September 24, 2019

Addigy, a leading provider of cloud-based Apple Device Management software, today announced that the company will preview enhancements to the company’s macOS/iOS management platform at the MacSysAdmin conference in Sweden as Apple prepares for the release of its 2019 update – macOS 10.15 Catalina. Topics and technologies to be presented are those most relevant to business users with macOS computing environments, including the move to 64-bit, allowing for modernization of the OS to take advantage of new capabilities and privacy controls.

MacSysAdmin 2019 takes place October 1-4, 2019 in Gothenburg, Sweden and is the event for macOS and iOS administrators to gain new knowledge, meet colleagues and exchange experiences. The main audience of the event includes system administrators from enterprises, schools and organizations, as well as technical consultants and resellers focusing on the Apple ecosystem. This includes IT professionals working in environments where macOS systems make up a large part of the computing environment. At this year’s event, Addigy will be supporting macOS admins in optimizing their experience with Catalina.

macOS Catalina, aka macOS 10.15, will be the newest version of Apple’s operating system to power macOS systems. With the new OS, there will be significant upgrades to end-user privacy and system security. There will be other new features as well, including the ability for users to create Mac apps from iPad apps and run those apps natively alongside existing Mac applications so that they can drag and drop content between them. Full advantage can be taken of the larger screen and powerful architecture of the macOS computer to provide a seamless experience across devices.

Addigy’s full-stack cloud-based Apple Device Management platform allows for centralized management of Catalina macOS and iOS13 computing environments. The solution provides 24x7x365 oversight of Apple devices to ensure systems are secure, up-to-date, and running at the highest levels of efficiency. IT administrators can thoroughly audit their Apple assets quickly, without server setup to identify which OS versions and applications are installed, and whether updates have been applied to all machines on the network. Catalina will be a big turning point in the hardening of Apple machines and Addigy’s immediate support will simplify how these devices need to be managed upon release.

One of the key areas that Catalina is introducing is a focus on 64-bit applications and the ending of support for 32-bit apps. The move to 64-bit allows for modernization of the OS to take advantage of new capabilities while reducing the attack footprint of the OS. Catalina also includes stronger end-user privacy controls that are more closely in-sync with Apple iOS. To assist customers in preparing for the release of Catalina, the company is developing a checklist to make the transition seamless.

“The 2019 Catalina update from Apple has energized a growing user ecosystem, including a large number of businesses that leverage Apple in their work environments,” said Jason Dettbarn, CEO, Addigy. “Addigy is there to support business users upgrading their systems to this new platform with a comprehensive management suite to get the most out of this powerful new OS and we welcome MacSysAdmin attendees to visit us and learn more at the show.”

FigLeaf: When Privacy Is A Choice, Humanity Is Free

“The findings of this survey offer marketers and advertisers an opportunity to adjust to the changing privacy landscape and engage consumers in new and more authentic ways,” said Pankaj Srivastava, COO and CMO of FigLeaf.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
September 24, 2019

As the debate rages over consumer online privacy, FigLeaf, a privacy-first company, surveyed US and UK consumers and discovered an underlying opportunity for those hit hardest by ever-increasing privacy demands: marketers and advertisers. Despite the fact that 68% of consumers do not believe online privacy is possible and 52% do not trust recent commitments made by Facebook or Google around stricter privacy protection, the survey revealed consumers are still open to sharing information with brands they trust. Banks ranked highest in trust factor for all respondents, with government entities second. Perhaps unsurprisingly, social media sites like Facebook ranked dead last in trust, with mobile operators faring only slightly better – a particularly telling insight for brands and advertisers when considering the best medium for reaching their consumers.

Survey results also highlighted key differences in individuals’ privacy preferences based on gender and age, creating an opportunity for marketers to more closely align messaging to key demographics.

“The findings of this survey offer marketers and advertisers an opportunity to adjust to the changing privacy landscape and engage consumers in new and more authentic ways,” said Pankaj Srivastava, COO and CMO of FigLeaf. “Consumers have voiced the fact they are not unwilling to share personal data. They simply want greater insight into how that data is used, and they want more choice and control over when they share personal information and with whom. Brands that comply with these wishes, and demonstrate a willingness to respect and protect the individual’s personal information, will be rewarded with deeper engagement and lasting loyalty.”

Gender

Men and women paralleled each other on their reactions to recent data scandals, with more than three-quarters of both men and women saying they have changed the way they behave online. Gender responses also matched in the knowledge of where their personal data exists online, with 28% of women and 29% of men saying they are confident they know every company and website who has access to – or is storing – their online data.

The sexes differ in online privacy however, in what they are willing to share and how they address privacy concerns. For example, 48% percent of women are worried about sharing their location or having it tracked compared to only 37% of men. To address privacy concerns, women are more apt to share less online (68%) as compared to men (54%), while one in 10 men use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) as compared to only 7% of women who do.

Age

When asked who should be responsible for an individual’s privacy, 45% of US respondents agreed it should be a joint effort between the individual, the companies collecting the data, and government regulators. However, when broken down by age, 28% of respondents over 30 years old placed the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of companies, while only 15% under 30 were inclined to agree. Those under 30 showed more inclination to take matters into their own hands, with 58% choosing to use privacy tools, deleting social media accounts or restricting what they share online, as compared to the 30% of respondents over 60 who believed the best solution to protect personal, digital information was for government to create stricter laws.

The younger generation was slightly more bullish on privacy legislation, with 12% saying the advent of the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) afforded them greater choice over which sites can access their personal information, compared with only 6% of those over 45. The under 45 demographic was also nearly twice as likely to believe total online privacy is possible, compared to their older counterparts.

Overall, respondents under 45 showed a marked optimism for the future of online privacy. One in five felt confident they knew everywhere their information was used or stored online, as compared to only 10% of those over the age of 45. And, while younger respondents recognized their activities were being tracked online, only 11% thought companies were taking advantage of all the information they could access. The under-45 demographic was also nearly twice as likely to believe total online privacy is possible, compared to their older counterparts.

Among all respondents to the survey, 62% believe a privacy tool or cybersecurity measure is the best way to stay safe online, demonstrating a desire to have greater control over their own data. This option proved more effective than restricting online activity (32%), deleting social media (16%), or demanding stricter penalties for companies that violate privacy (38%).

Conducted in May 2019, the survey queried over 4,000 male and female online consumers aged 18 or older across the US and the UK. A FigLeaf press kit including, charts and graphs, logos and other assets can be accessed here.
