KnowBe4 Finds 96 Percent of Organizations Say Email Phishing Scams Pose Biggest Security Risk


The threats aren’t going away any time soon – the bad guys are just getting more and more clever. That’s why it’s so important to build up your human firewall – your end users – to better protect your organization. -Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4

KnowBe4, the provider of the world’s largest security awareness training and simulated phishing platform, today announced the results of its 2019 Security Threats and Trends Report.

The KnowBe4 2019 Security Threats and Trends Report polled 600 organizations worldwide in mid-2019 on the major security issues they will face in the next 12 to 18 months. It covers security initiatives, how well organizations are equipped to deal with security threats, the most persistent security threats, ongoing challenges in security and more.

“This study shows us why it’s a really good idea to step your users through new-school security awareness training,” said Stu Sjouwerman, CEO, KnowBe4. “The threats aren’t going away any time soon – the bad guys are just getting more and more clever. That’s why it’s so important to build up your human firewall – your end users – to better protect your organization.”

Survey highlights include:

  • A majority of corporations – 86% – have proactively amplified security initiatives over the last year to combat the increase in cybersecurity attacks.
  • Nearly nine out of 10 businesses – 89% – say they’re currently better equipped to deal with security threats than they were in 2018.
  • Three quarters or 76% of organizations say the biggest and most persistent security threat comes from “the enemy from within” – careless end users – who regularly clicks on bad links, placing organizations at higher risk of falling victim to email phishing, ransomware, CEO fraud scams and various forms of malware.
  • 58% of organizations cite budgetary constraints as an ongoing challenge in upgrading security.

Skuid Awarded Four Major Federal Contracts to Support IT Modernization for Defense and Civilian Agencies


In just six short months of partnering with Carahsoft, Skuid has quickly demonstrated that applications in the public sector can be far simpler to use, even when confronted with highly complex processes, consumer-grade design requirements and dynamic contextual constraints in the field.

Skuid, the leading no-code cloud application platform, today announced that three Department of Defense (DoD) agencies and the largest civilian agency have awarded contracts to Skuid to support their application development and modernization initiatives. In partnership with Carahsoft Technology Corp., the Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, Skuid and the Salesforce Platform will be used to solve unique challenges of designing and deploying user-friendly process-intensive applications for over 600,000 DoD employees and public users.

Skuid’s solution s are available through Carahsoft’s NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V contract and National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint and National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) cooperative purchasing agreements.

“In just six short months of partnering with Carahsoft, Skuid has quickly demonstrated that applications in the public sector can be far simpler to use, even when confronted with highly complex processes, consumer-grade design requirements and dynamic contextual constraints in the field,” said Ken McElrath, Skuid founder and CEO. “Our work with Carahsoft and Salesforce continues to ramp up modernization efforts with some of the largest Federal agencies, delivering best-in-class digital experiences without code.”

Applications developed for Federal agencies must adhere to strict design guidelines and brand specifications to ensure a consistent user experience across every app. With the design-first approach of the Skuid platform, the DoD can create dynamic interfaces and applications, rapidly delivering advanced applications without compromising the user experience or user interface design. This means the DoD and the public get simple, intuitive, pleasing apps that make it easy to interact with the government.

Skuid and the Salesforce Platform have already been implemented for external- and internal-facing applications for DoD and civilian agencies, including custom portals and dynamic forms for asset tracking, fitness management, officer evaluations and field inspections. These customized forms are role- and process-specific to dramatically reduce manual paperwork, clicks or data entry while enhancing data quality and streamlining processes based on relevance to each user. In some cases, paper forms and clipboards have been completely digitized.

“We’ve worked with Skuid on several DoD deals and have been impressed with the momentum our partnership has created,” said Kate McDonald, Federal Sales Manager at Carahsoft. “With Skuid and our reseller partners, our clients are building powerful, consumer-grade applications specific to their processes that result in dramatically improved user adoption rates and productivity. Plus, clients have seen a drastic reduction in the time it takes to prototype, deploy and iterate, so agencies can be more nimble in meeting the evolving needs of their constituents.”

Skuid’s solutions are available through Carahsoft’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B and NASPO ValuePoint and NCPA cooperative purchasing contracts. For more information, contact the Skuid team at Carahsoft at (877) SFD-C007 or salesforceISV@carahsoft.com.

About Skuid

Skuid was founded in 2013 on the simple belief that enterprise software should stop forcing people to behave like machines. Instead, apps should behave more like the humans who use them, so everyone can thrive in the digital world.

RS Components at Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC (ITAP 2019); exciting plans leading to 2020

RS Components at Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC (ITAP 2019)

RS Components at Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC (ITAP 2019); exciting plans leading to 2020.

Singapore, 23 October 2019 : RS Components (RS), the trading brand of Electrocomponents plc (LSE:ECM), the global ecommerce distributor for engineers, has successfully opened at ITAP 2019 known as Industrial Transformation Asia Pacific, with an exciting session featuring a stellar range of products, parts and components across the design, produce and maintain cycles, together with our partners and clients ABB and Phoenix Contact.

Product Plus solution helps consolidating users’ supplier database for long tail requirements, leverages spend, speeds up sourcing, tightens purchasing controls and sources all the products that our clients need via RS Components in build catalogue functions

All together resulting in reducing total costs of ownership and most importantly let our clients focus on what matters for them.

Mr. Syed Suroor Anwar, Vice President of Asia Pacific, Strategy and Business Development for RS Components says:

“With Industrial Transformation 2019, it is with utmost importance to consistently engage current clients and potential users with our latest products and solutions by harnessing RS Components’ digital expertise, data and insights while taking advantage of the challenging market dynamics and new opportunities for growth.”

Case studies are important in regards to applications of RS Components and solutions, for example the case of “Cutting the MRO costs of a confectionary giant”.

RS has helped a leading confectionery manufacturer achieve significant cost savings in the indirect procurement process through its Purchasing Manager™ system.

The challenge: An example of how RS has been able to help a customer take better control of its process costs is our work with a well-known confectionery manufacturer, a market leader within its category with a turnover in excess of £100 million.

RS found that the simplest way to remove many of the issues (and additional cost) in the process was to introduce PurchasingManager™ to the customer.

PurchasingManager™ is a web-based order management system used alongside the RS website. Buyers can create account structures across their organisation, assign spend controls, cost centres and approval limits to help manage all RS Online purchasing.

The system allows the end user, usually an engineer, to go onto the RS website, choose the product they need, order it and see when the delivery will be made. Behind the scenes a confirmation request is sent to a senior colleague who can quickly approve the cost and the order is processed.

PurchasingManager™ addressed the authorisation process and became the only authorisation required to approve an order from RS. Once an order is approved, it is sent directly to RS without procurement being involved. The confectionery customer was able to use a single monthly blanket order rather than individual POs, meaning that the only PO processing now takes place at the end of the month.

The customer now has a simplified workflow with empowered end users, which has significantly reduced processing costs, enabling all functions involved in the indirect purchasing process to focus on value added activities in their respective roles.

The entire purchasing process has been greatly speeded up, more employees are ordering from trusted suppliers (rather than using local or online purchases), which improves contract compliance, and parts are being successfully delivered when engineers want them, which means there is far less downtime.

The result is that the customer has gone from an inefficient, costly process with duplication of tasks and a lack of clarity to becoming highly efficient with real transparency throughout the purchase-to-pay process.

Banyan Security Announces General Availability of Passwordless Authentication with Zero Trust


Passwordless Now Powered by Banyan Security

Passwordless Now Powered by Banyan Security

Banyan’s Zero Trust Network Access Platform takes a unique approach to deliver secure Passwordless access without the traditional cost or complexity associated with authentication using cryptography tied to a device.

Banyan Security, a leading provider of next-generation Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solutions for hybrid and multi-cloud enterprises, announces the general availability of Passwordless Authentication with Zero Trust.

WHAT: With Banyan Security, an enterprise security team can enable least privilege access controls following Zero Trust principles, at the same time, corporate users benefit from not having to enter their username and password every time they access corporate resources.

Passwords Pose a Major Risk to Enterprise Security:

  • Passwords are inherently insecure
  • Protocols that demand periodic password changes lead to fatigue and encourage duplication or loss of passwords
  • Compromised passwords have led to some of the largest security breaches in history


“Passwords have been the bane of end-users as well as IT administrative staff, so when building our ZTNA solution, we envisioned a simpler, yet more secure passwordless authentication process,” said Jayanth Gummaraju, Founder and CEO, Banyan Security. “Today we are excited to share this offering with the enterprise community, enabling a more user-friendly and secure IT ecosystem.”

Banyan’s Passwordless Solution:

Banyan’s Zero Trust Network Access Platform takes a unique approach to deliver secure Passwordless access without the traditional cost or complexity associated with authentication using cryptography tied to a device.

Banyan provides lightweight native applications for desktop computers (Windows, Mac, Linux) and mobile (iOS, Android) platforms that can be seamlessly installed on corporate-managed and employee-owned (BYOD) devices. The Banyan App securely registers each device, and then installs and manages the cryptographic Device Certificates for each device. With Banyan, security teams don’t need to run any complicated PKI or MDM tools (although Banyan does integrate with all major PKI and MDM solutions).

Because Banyan enables organizations to roll out Zero Trust security alongside Passwordless authentication, overall enterprise security is significantly improved. Using dynamic trust scoring, continuous authorization, and granular enforcement, Banyan continuously evaluates the security posture of every user and device attempting access and enforces access control policies.

“Many firms would like to implement Zero Trust principles, but don’t have the time or financial resources to make extensive changes to their environment,” said Garrett Bekker, Principal Analyst at 451 Research. “Security offerings such as passwordless that can integrate with existing infrastructure and security tools such as MDM, IdaaS, SIEM and endpoint security can not only help achieve cost savings but also move closer to a true Zero Trust framework by constantly evaluating the security posture and authorization of both devices and users.”

Banyan’s Zero Trust Network Access Platform:

  • Reduces your attack surface and prevents lateral movement which is a leading cause of unauthorized access and breaches today
  • Enables continuous, ‘least privilege’ employee or 3rd party (contractor/partner) remote access to corporate on-premise or cloud applications and infrastructure
  • Provides robust TrustScoring powered by machine learning that enforces access policies in real-time
  • Delivers a great user experience by eliminating insecure passwords


To learn more about how the Banyan Zero Trust Network Access platform with Passwordless could fit into your security ecosystem, read the blog by Banyan Co-Founder and COO, Tarun Desikan, or schedule a demo today.

About Banyan Security:

Banyan Security’s next-generation Zero Trust Network Access platform provides seamless remote access to corporate resources hosted in hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Banyan enhances security by reducing your attack surface, eliminating lateral movement, and preventing unauthorized access. Utilizing innovative TrustScoring powered by machine learning, Banyan ensures both users and devices are authenticated and authorized before granting granular least privilege access to sensitive corporate applications and servers. Banyan’s highly scalable platform is currently used by enterprises across verticals including healthcare, manufacturing, and technology. To learn more, visit http://www.banyansecurity.io.

With hundreds of its wireless nodes, G1s, running across the country and overseas from the initial network deployment, Nesten has launched an effort to understand and cater to specific market and technical needs of key industries that it intends to serve. “The high precision indoor positioning system fully integrated with long-range wireless backhaul and cloud network lends itself to a range of compelling use cases. In particular, our technological leadership combined with ecosystem economics paves a way for a new business paradigm in retail industry.” said Andrew Baek, CTO of Nesten.

Nesten is building an advanced blockchain IoT infrastructure. Since the beginning of 2019, it has deployed hundreds of the advanced computing wireless nodes, including significant coverage footprints in Dallas and Houston, as well as New York, New Jersey, Washington DC suburbs, California, and Seoul, Korea. Nesten is planning on additional network expansion throughout the remainder of the year and next year.
