Remote work expands the attack surface and cyber-criminals grow increasingly sophisticated,. Fortunately, managed services improve cyber security in several critical areas.

HOBOKEN, N.J. (PRWEB)
October 01, 2020

A NYC area IT consultant discusses four ways that using a managed services provider (MSP) improve business cyber security in a new article on the eMazzanti Technologies website. The informative article first reviews the “perfect storm” of 2020 cyber security threats.

The author then discusses the cyber security skills shortage and the advantage of working with an MSP to access them. He cites proactive, 24/7 monitoring and vulnerability identification and remediation as services that strengthen cyber security. He concludes by describing how user education overcomes the weakest link in data security.

“Remote work expands the attack surface and cyber-criminals grow increasingly sophisticated,” stated Almi Dumi, CISO, eMazzanti Technologies. “Fortunately, managed services improve cyber security in several critical areas.”

Below are a few excerpts from the article, “4 Ways Managed Services Improve Cyber Security.”

Expertise at Your Fingertips

“In late 2019, (ISC)2, a major nonprofit organization of cyber security professionals, conducted a study of the cyber security workforce. The study showed that the skills gap continues to widen. In fact, to adequately meet the data security needs of American organizations, the cyber security workforce would need to increase by 62 percent.”

Proactive, 24/7 Monitoring

“Another significant way that managed services improve cyber security involves system monitoring. A reputable MSP will provide monitoring not just during business hours, but 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Using machine learning, for instance, your MSP can identify unusual activity and proactively address issues even before a breach occurs.”

Vulnerability Identification and Remediation

“The MSP typically conducts risk assessments to determine the state of your organization’s cyber security and make recommendations. In the process, they will likely conduct vulnerability scans and penetration testing.”

Managed Services Improve Cyber Security

For nearly twenty years, eMazzanti has helped organizations of all sizes secure their critical data assets. Proactive network monitoring, email security and comprehensive threat detection are just a few of the ways eMazzanti’s award-winning managed services improve cyber security.

Customizable security offerings also include services such as dark web monitoring, patch management, web filtering and predictive security. eMazzanti’s security professionals conduct a risk assessment and work closely with business leaders to implement a comprehensive cyber security strategy that meets their specific needs and budget.

Our partnership will allow Petal to achieve the economies of scale necessary to deliver on its re-imagining of the in-home waste storage process, while positioning us for future expansion beyond the North American market. If you were looking for a 100-percent delivery guarantee – this is it.

FORT WORTH, Texas (PRWEB)
September 30, 2020

Petal, a high-tech consumer goods company set to launch the world’s first zero-odor, germ-freezing waste bin, announced today the formation of a strategic partnership with Danby Appliances, one of North America’s leading manufacturers and distributors of refrigeration, home comfort, and specialty appliances.

Petal is also thrilled to announce that Jim Estill, Danby’s Owner and CEO has joined its Advisory Board as the company’s Growth Coach.

Under this landmark deal, Danby will serve as the sole authorized manufacturer and servicer for Petal’s namesake product and all future additions to its product line-up. The Guelph, Ontario-based company annually manufactures over 2 million appliances and warrants and services over 200 million across its North American operations. Danby will oversee Petal’s tooling and manufacturing, while serving as a one-stop shop for its certification, warehousing, distribution, shipping and reverse logistic needs.

“Danby is a world-class manufacturer and one of the largest and most innovative appliance companies on the continent. With Jim Estill and Danby, Petal is entering its upcoming pre-sale event with absolute confidence that it can deliver on the orders it receives,” said David M. M.

Both Danby, with its track record for providing innovative, high-quality appliances at competitive prices, and Estill, a serial innovator and philanthropist who in 2018 was inducted into the Order of Canada, one of the country’s highest civilian honors for his response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria, represent the perfect partners for Petal’s purpose-driven enterprise.

“Petal has been on my radar for a while. As a company, it brings together a unique combination of disruptive innovation and deep social consciousness,” said Jim Estill, Owner and CEO at Danby, as well as the Founder and CEO of ShipperBee. “At Danby, we are thrilled to help bring this innovative new household appliance that freezes organic waste to market. On a personal level, I am impressed by Petal’s sincere commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and look forward to supporting this majority-female owned company’s efforts to reduce our reliance on environmentally-devastating single-use plastic bags.”

“Jim has done it all as an entrepreneur, but it is his heart and compassionate leadership demonstrated over four decades of humanitarian work that is most impressive about him,” added Christie Zwahlen, Petal co-founder and Executive VP of Social Impact. “He is a powerful example of how business leaders and businesses can be a force for good in our world. We will follow his lead. Our entire team is thrilled to welcome him to our Advisory Board.”

I realized there has been no innovation in lighting to accommodate the millions of people that aren’t professional videographers but want a solution better than duct taping a flashlight to their computer. We designed The Amp Light so you can webcam with confidence, and have fun doing it

OREM, Utah (PRWEB)
September 30, 2020

The Amp Light, the ultimate solution for optimal webcam and video conferencing lighting, today launched on Kickstarter.

The Amp Light is the first computer mountable edge-lit webcam light with a magnetic mounting system that sets up in seconds and eliminates suction cups, clips or clamps of any sort. The Amp Light’s edge-lit design produces an ultra-soft, perfectly diffused light.

The custom mounting system allows for a permanent desk setup or an on-the-go, low-profile light, perfect for proper webcam lighting as 89% of people today are using Zoom for work, while 63% are using it for conversations with friends and family.

Millions of people are also using YouTube to make money or supplement their income. The Amp Light takes the guesswork out of creating the best videos.

“Everyone deserves to look good and feel confident on camera, and in today’s remote world, being on camera on a daily basis is the new norm,” said Logan Bailey, Founder of FUSE REEL and creator of The Amp Light. “I realized there has been no innovation in lighting to accommodate the millions of people that aren’t professional videographers but want a solution better than duct taping a flashlight to their computer. We designed The Amp Light so you can webcam with confidence, and have fun doing it”.

The Amp Light features 80 LEDs that are bi-color from warm amber to daylight white and brightness adjustable for close range lighting to an outdoor photoshoot. It is USB-C powered with a built-in 12 hour battery for that on-the-go conference call or live stream.

Problems Amp Lights Solves:

• Harsh blinding light – The Amp Light’s Edge-lit design eliminates blinding hotspots common with back-lit photography or ring lights and casts a perfectly soft and diffused light.
• Versatility – The fully adjustable magnetic ball mount allows for a quick set up without tightening a screw or clip. The premium aluminum neck is strong and low profile to take on the go. The neck slides into either the adhesive monitor mount or the weighted desk stand without having to tighten bulky hardware. The rubber lining in the monitor mount and desk stand grip the neck at any height for one hand adjustability.
• Ease of use – although it seems like an insignificant design feature, the large tactile buttons make adjusting the brightness, and color easy during a recording session or video call. No more small hard-to-reach buttons like most studio lighting.
• Aesthetically Pleasing – The Amp Light is designed to fit seamlessly into a professional’s desk and even enhance the overall vibe and appeal. Unlike a giant ring light attached to an industrial looking photography mount or GoPro suction cup stuck to a photography light, The Amp Light is a product professionals would be proud to display on their desks.
