Enabling Technologies helps IT Departments Detect and Respond to Phishing Attacks

September 30, 2019 imreal Leave a comment

Before, “managing email security-related tasks took up about 25 percent of my time.” Now, he says: “we’re dealing with email security only 5 percent of the time.” – Chris Gielow, Director of Information Technology at Viewpoint

ESTERO, Fla. (PRWEB)
September 30, 2019

Enabling Technologies has announced the availability of its PhishHunter and BreachHunter solutions, developed for the detection and prevention of phishing attacks.

The Verizon 2017 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) found that 81% of hacking-related breaches leveraged either stolen or weak passwords. And the most common method of stealing passwords was phishing.

PhishHunter and BreachHunter utilize Enabling’s forensic knowledge to analyze threats, customize rules, and automate responses to targeted attacks. Administrators are provided with a shortlist of actionable next steps and users are left with a clean inbox and less risk. “In almost every PhishHunter engagement we have found compromised accounts during the first day and several issues that needed to be addressed. Most clients are amazed at how easy it is to use and how much time the solution saves them,” said Brandon Bowlin, Director of Security Services at Enabling Technologies.

With PhishHunter, clients set the rules for automated actions, giving them full control of what is protected and how they will be notified. BreachHunter uses Enabling’s team of security experts to set the rules, update clients, and aid with remediation.

To date, Enabling has successfully deployed these solutions in more than 50 organizations, with stellar results. Among these success stories are Viewpoint Software and Volusia County Schools.

The IT team at Viewpoint Software, a global construction software developer, was burdened by frequent phishing scams. “We used to respond to unplanned issues, which would interrupt our other work,” said Chris Gielow, Director of Information Technology at Viewpoint. “Just being reactive was untenable.” “ We needed to be proactive to protect our users and our systems.”

Assisted by Enabling Technologies, Viewpoint saw immediate results with their customized PhishHunter configurations. “We’re now able to be more proactive, and are much more scalable,” said Gielow. Before, he says that “managing email security-related tasks took up about 25 percent of my time.” Now, he says: “we’re dealing with email security only 5 percent of the time.”

In central Florida, Volusia County Schools (VCS) was struggling to deal with a growing number of phishing attacks. VCS needed a solution to get ahead of the problem.

Enter Enabling Technologies, to help activate and configure custom policies .On the first day, Enabling was able to help identify nine compromised accounts, allowing VCS to immediately address them before attackers had the chance to cause further damage in their environment. “We enabled PhishHunter at exactly the right time,” said Alex Kennedy, Volusia County Schools’ Director of Infrastructure and Technical Services.

Custom Advanced Threat Protection policies – combined with custom Exchange Transport Rules – enabled VCS to be much more proactive going forward. And by implementing the automated account reset capability of PhishHunter, VCS quickly gained the capability to be reactive as well – identifying and automatically remediating compromises faster than a person could. “We quickly made the decision to use PhishHunter to automatically disable compromised accounts,” said Kennedy. “Within seven minutes of a compromise, the account is automatically disabled. No human could detect or respond that fast.”

Safe Harbor CPAs, Leading Personal Tax Advisors in San Francisco, Announces Post on the Challenges of High Net Worth Individuals

Taxes are no fun for anyone, but as wealth increases and tax changes come from Washington and Sacramento, more and more of our clients are expressing anxiety about 2019 when it comes to taxation.

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
September 29, 2019

Safe Harbor LLP, a top-rated accounting firm in San Francisco, California, at http://www.safeharborcpa.com/, is proud to announce a new post on the new tax challenges facing high net worth income in 2019. Recent tax changes combined with the booming Bay Area economy are steadily increasing the tax burden of high income and high net worth individuals.

“Taxes are no fun for anyone, but as wealth increases and tax changes come from Washington and Sacramento, more and more of our clients are expressing anxiety about 2019 when it comes to taxation,” explained Chun Wong, Managing Partner at Safe Harbor LLP. “Our new post is a starting point for a conversation on how to best minimize taxes for high net worth and high income individuals in 2019 while there is still time for tax planning.”

To read the new post visit http://www.safeharborcpa.com/taxes-are-always-a-problem-even-if-you-are-relatively-wealthy/. Individuals seeking to understand the firm’s services for individual tax return preparation can also visit http://www.safeharborcpa.com/individual-income-tax/, and then reach out to the firm to speak with a San Francisco-based tax advisor. No two situations are alike, and so the best next step is to discuss the facts and tax laws with a trained professional. Then a plan can be made to minimize taxes in 2019 as we still more than three months in 2019.

A BOOMING ECONOMY AND NEW TAX LAWS MAY MEAN HIGHER TAXES

Here is background on this release. It’s no secret that many of the new tax changes out of Washington and Sacramento may have a negative impact on high income and/or high net worth individuals. Government bureaucrats and politicians, after all, have to go where the money is for revenue. Despite some reductions in taxes, there are many new complexities especially when it comes to so-called SALT (State and Local Taxes). San Francisco, in turn, is the epicenter of the explosion of wealth from the latest technology boom. Many startup owners and early employees are facing big tax bites from high salaries, stock options, and other new forms of compensation. In addition, California’s own state government is mulling over new changes in the tax laws to increase taxes as is the local government in San Francisco. These factors are increasing tax anxiety among high income and high net worth individuals in the Golden State. For this reason, Safe Harbor CPAs is announcing a new post on its blog on individual taxation. The post is meant as food for thought and a starting point for conversations on how best to minimize taxes in this new environment.

Cardinal Scale’s New SmartCan Digital Conversion System

September 28, 2019 imreal Leave a comment

Cardinal Scale’s New SmartCan Digital Conversion System

The NTEP-certified SmartCan features Fail-Safe mode which keeps your scale running in the event of a failed cell, SmartCal digital calibration adjustments, universal mounting brackets for easy field installation, and remote troubleshooting and scale monitoring through iSite software.

WEBB CITY, Mo. (PRWEB)
September 28, 2019

Digitize Your Scale with SmartCan

You can now digitize any existing analog scale using Cardinal Scale’s SmartCan analog-to-digital conversion system. SmartCan allows users to digitally monitor each individual load cell and identify cell failures quickly and effectively. The SmartCan system utilizes the advanced, internationally-standardized CAN (Controller Area Network) serial bus system to digitize the analog output signals from two or more independent load cells and send the data to the indicator.

The NTEP-certified SmartCan features Fail-Safe mode which keeps your scale running in the event of a failed cell, SmartCal digital calibration adjustments, universal mounting brackets for easy field installation, and remote troubleshooting and scale monitoring through iSite software. The compact enclosure size only requires minimal space. SmartCan is ideal for retrofitting existing analog scales or converting analog load cells to digital load cells. It may also be used with Guardian® hydraulic load cells.

SmartCan is housed in a compact, rugged weatherproof IP66 / NEMA 4 enclosure and doesn’t require cumbersome external power supplies, in most applications. The indicator software permits a maximum of 32 load cells that could be used in any combination with SmartCan (the homerun cable length, power supply, and sample rate may limit the number of load cells used, in some instances). There are seven different SmartCan boxes available for a wide range of configurations.

Versatile Applications

SmartCan may be used in a variety of different applications with new and existing truck scales, railroad scales, floor scales, bench scales, and batching systems.

Fail-Safe Mode

Cardinal Scale’s Fail-Safe feature with SmartCan allows the system to compensate for a failed load cell by mirroring the estimated value of the remaining cells to offset the failed cell. The Fail-Safe feature uses an algorithm to calculate an estimated value from the data of the remaining cells and creates a virtual load cell to replace the data from the down cell.

Troubleshoot through the Indicator

Cardinal Scale’s 225D Navigator and 825D Spectrum weight indicators easily interface with the SmartCan digital conversion system and provide onscreen diagnostics for load cell performance in real-time. The 825D makes corner and section trimming easier with its graphical, full-color display.

SmartCal®

The SmartCan system uses Cardinal Scale’s patented software algorithm called SmartCal® method of calibrating a scale. SmartCal® allows a quick calibration with no manual adjustments while the diagnostic software identifies real and potential system problems before they interrupt your weighing operations.

iSite Remote Monitoring

Cardinal Scale’s iSite is a cloud-based remote monitoring system for load cells connected to the SmartCan conversion box. Text and/or e-mail auto alerts can be sent for errors and warning events. Through secure online dealer access, scale diagnostics may be looked up remotely to quickly identify problems before they interrupt weighing operations.

NEST Toolkit Compatible

Authorized Cardinal Scale dealers may plug a NEST toolkit directly into the SmartCan box for additional onsite diagnostics. NEST allows you to view the diagnostics in your choice of millivolts or pounds. There are three display modes: signals display, minimum-maximum display, and signals minus zero reference display.

Onboard Diagnostics

The SmartCan system has onboard diagnostics that can be used by a technician to alert them of critical errors due to setup issues and hardware problems. The following diagnostics data is available and will be shown to the technician on the main weight screen of the 225D or 825D indicator:

Live (real time) Load Cell Weights

Minimum and Maximum Load Cell Weights

Deadload Shift (from original calibrated deadload)

Individual Load Cell Signal in Millivolts

DLC Controller Card Communication Error Count

iSite Status of Last Connection

Balluff’s New Light Array with IO-Link Identifies Size and Position with Precision

FLORENCE, Ky. (PRWEB)
September 27, 2019

Balluff’s newest laser light array provides a compact solution for precisely identifying the size and location of objects. The BLA0007 can measure the size of up to six objects in its 16 mm light field, enabling them to operate several work modes at once, including the following:

Object diameter

Object position

Gap width

Gap position

Edge position

Also, they offer additional modes such as counting and nominal/actual comparisons, which users can use simultaneously. If needed, it can be programmed to blank an area, so objects in that part of the array don’t trigger the sensor. Additionally, they can measure object height or gap dimensions, monitor hole placement or size, and detect the web edge of material like paper or cloth, including many transparent materials that are optically demanding. They can detect cable, wire, or threads as small as 0.3 mm.

Key features include:

Exact position detection

Simple size differentiation of diameters

Quality inspection gap dimensions

Precise edge detection

Leica Geosystems Launches LOC8, Asset Tracking Platform powered by Trackimo

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
September 27, 2019

Leica Geosystems, utilizing Trackimo‘s platform and tracking devices, recently launched LOC8, enabling companies to track assets and expensive devices across geographical boundaries. LOC8 not only functions as an effective tracking and fleet management tool; it is also a great theft-deterrence solution. The first implementation of LOC8 was launched recently with Leica’s TS13 Robotic Total Station.

The survey and mapping, civil engineering, and building construction industries can greatly benefit from Leica Geosystems’ LOC8 asset tracking platform. The following are the advantages of the asset tracking solutions that Leica Geosystems offers with LOC8:

Accurate monitoring. LOC8 can accurately track your equipment both indoors and outdoors wherever it is in the world. Its positioning accuracy is at 50 meters with AGPS, 15 meters with WLAN, and down to less than 5 meters with the use of GPS. Location updates are sent to you as frequently as once every minute, so you will always know where your assets are.

Geofences. With LOC8, you can set up several geofences around your office and job sites and be sure that your assets are exactly where they’re meant to be-safe and secure. Also functioning as a fleet management tool, LOC8 sends you alerts when equipment is removed from a predefined safe zone, allowing to optimize assets for higher efficiency. Alerts are sent out via the Trackimo-powered app’s push notifications and/or via email.

Remote locking. Aside from LOC8’s tracking and geofencing capabilities, expensive equipment can now be remotely locked with just a touch of a button on a smartphone or desktop app. The operation of the equipment relies mostly on establishing a connection to the installed LOC8 device, so even if the Leica Total Station is not powered on, LOC8 can still lock it, preventing a thief from ever being able to use the device. Once found, the device can be simply unlocked the same way, without the hassle of bringing it to a service center.

Data link. Trackimo provides a two-way data link to control measuring devices remotely and get real-time data from the field, allowing firmware updates for the device and real-time error reporting, reducing failure rates and helping to identify problems.

Peace of mind. Now that companies are able to track, locate, and lock their Total Stations, they can obtain insurance coverage and lower premiums. With LOC8 also acting as a theft deterrent, companies can save operational costs in the long run from minimizing downtime due to theft or preventing wasted time locating misplaced devices.

As the world wakes up to more IoT technologies, tracking solutions are proven more effective day by day by LOC8-launched by world-leading technology companies Leica Geosystems and Trackimo.

Trackimo is a world leader in GPS tracking technology. Utilizing Trackimo’s platform, Trackimo’s GPS trackers are currently sold in partnership with Vodafone, other world-leading cellular providers and high-end world-leading field equipment manufacturers.
