NetGenieHome Wi-Fi Router Adds Parental Controls for iPad tablets, Smartphones and PCs

Leave a comment

Enter NetGenie, a Wi-Fi router for the home that plugs directly into the cable modem and which also offers security protection from invasive malware and viruses.

Edison, NJ (USA), Monday – October 03, 201 — With kids and teens doing more and more of their Internet browsing on smartphones and tablets like the iPad, a software-based approach to monitoring and blocking Internet access to adult content or age-inappropriate websites will no longer work.

Enter NetGenie ( http://www.netgenie.net ), a Wi-Fi router for the home that plugs directly into the cable modem and which also offers security protection from invasive malware and viruses.

Developed by 12-year Internet security veteran Cyberoam, NetGenie is the first Wi-Fi router that comes pre-configured with parental controls and anti-virus.

NetGenie parental controls provide default settings according to age group, blocking websites and applications deemed inappropriate, yet allowing the administrator (mom or dad) to grant permissions by adding to a whitelist of allowed sites.

NetGenie offers parents a smart way for dealing with unruly Internet access and distractions, especially during homework time. Being a Wi-Fi router that plugs directly into the home’s cable modem, the device can control access to smartphones, gaming consoles and popular tablets such as the iPad and Android tablets.

Any device connected to the home’s Wi-Fi signal can be managed.

For example, parents can suspend Internet access per individual for an allocated date or block of time, say from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm Monday through Thursday, allowing free access Friday to Sunday if they so choose to.

NetGenie is also equipped with Internet security safeguards including a firewall, anti-virus protection, and intrusion prevention.

“We designed NetGenie to make it simple for families to protect their kids from unsafe and adult Internet content, and to control the time they spend online on social networks, shopping or gaming sites, or anything else you want to manage,” said Jacob Thankachen, Associate Vice President for Americas, Cyberoam. “We also made it a no-brainer to keep hackers, viruses and other intruders at bay when your family surfs the Internet.”

Additionally, the device can generate reports on Internet activities such as websites visited, applications used, attempts made to visit blocked websites or applications, along with virus and intrusion reports.

NetGenie can be configured using any Internet-access device in the home. Settings for individual members of the family can be made.

Pricing & Availability:
NetGenie is available now and will retail for $199 with support for an unlimited number of home users.A SOHO version is also available for $249. To buy NetGenie contact: Jacob Thankachen, Tel: (201) 301-2851. Jacob.thankachen@us.cyberoam.com. Or email: sales@netgenie.net.

Reports Show Targeted Computer Attacks Spike with Heavy SMB Focus

Leave a comment

According to a recent Symantec blog, attackers are targeting SMBs at a greater rate than larger companies of more than 500 people.

Hudson, NH (USA), Monday – October 03, 201 — According to a recent Symantec blog, attackers are targeting SMBs at a greater rate than larger companies of more than 500 people. Some other interesting facts from Symantec’s cloud research:

“The percentage of employees who received a targeted Trojan during 2010 was much higher for the SMB sector than for large companies. One small business, in particular, had targeted Trojans sent to all 488 of their employees. SMB industry sectors such as mineral/fuel, non-profit, engineering, marketing and recreation received the most attacks compared with other industry sectors, showing that they are at higher risk. They also found that attackers target intellectual property and market-leading research – focusing their efforts on education and market research organizations, in particular.”

Commtouch, a provider of antivirus technology to industry, is indicating in its blog that targeted emails with malicious attachments have increased dramatically since August to two billion or more per day. These are not emails with links to bogus or malicious websites, but attachments that may look like normal document files typical in business. These attacks are not spam but something far more sinister.

These targeted attacks are aimed at specific individuals in specific organizations, contain embedded malware, and are designed largely to capture credentials and gain access to valuable data. Much of this targeted email with malicious attachments bypasses antivirus and gateway protections. It lands squarely in a target’s inbox as legitimate email. The embedded malware is designed to be unique and unknown to anti-virus and anti-malware.

If you find yourself reading an email with an attachment that seems to be legitimate, think twice, it may not be. A targeted email attack often uses information about you to gain your trust. It will seem like a normal email.

So what do you do? Symantec’s blogger suggests that you “use common sense” and “be smart.” Your business associates send you data files that you open all of the time. The attacker will pose as one of them, but will bury a program inside. You can’t possibly know for sure, regardless of how much common sense you apply.

The new SavantEnforcer client will block malicious attachments automatically because it denies by default any unknown executable. It’s a simple and powerful antidote for the avalanche of targeted malware and it can be installed on a computer for about a dollar per month. Should you use common sense, good security practices and keep your software protection up to date? Of course you should. But you may also want to consider a solution that gives you the confidence to open an attachment without the risk of compromise.

About Savant Protection:
Savant Protection is a leading privately held vendor of innovative application whitelisting solutions that fill major gaps in the functionality of other endpoint security and management products and provide significant operational and financial benefits to customers. The company’s solutions are easy to integrate with existing systems, are not dependent on a central whitelist database, and can stop zero-day attacks and address the increasing inability of existing endpoint solutions, such as signature-based anti-virus products, to effectively protect against the growing proliferation of sophisticated, targeted malware.Savant Protection’s customers are able to lower costs and increase their organization’s productivity by minimizing endpoint incidents that require remediation and cause unproductive downtime for users.

U.S. Company Turns to BRAZIL to Advance New Technology

Leave a comment

We Don’t Make the Smartphone…We Make it Smarter, Safer, Courteous and Compliant.
With a registered bill on the table, U.S. based Try Safety First (TSF) is deploying time, talent and resources into Brazil to advance its new mobile phone protocol technology. With its white paper being published in more than twenty-four countries across the globe, it is Brazilwhere TSF is looking to launch.

When asked why Brazil , TSF CEO John Fischer said, “TSF is eager to work with all governments and strategic partners to advance our patent-pending protocol technology. But to date, it is the congressional leaders of Brazil who have demonstrated the greatest desire and responsiveness to tackle the serious cell phone problems in their country.”

According to the World Health Organization, environment specific (prisons, court rooms, classrooms, in flight and behind the wheel) cell phone problems are costing theworld’s top industrialized countries between one and three percent of GDP. Fischer agrees societal cell phone problems are dynamic, devastating and very costly. But he also expands the statement by saying they can easily be eradicated with the implementation of TSF protocol technology.

TSF is the world leader for mobile device protocol development. According to Fischer, the advancement of TSF’s protocol technology will provide an optional tool for parents, teachers, judges, wardens, pilots and employers to easily eliminate cell phone problems within their respective environments. TSF’s primary objective is to establish a uniform global standard throughout the wireless industry to increase the functionality of mobile devices to provide simple solutions to remedy grand societal problems.

Which Online Backup Plan from AsaDrive Should You Choose?

Leave a comment

AsaDrive offers a wide range of online storage plans and free trials to choose from. There you will find some useful information which will help you choose the best one to suit your needs.

There are basically five online storage plans AsaDrive provides: two dedicated Online Backup plans, two Online Backup and Online Drive plans and one Business plan.

All of these plans are designed to fit different sets of demands and standards, according to the motivation and purpose of using AsaDrive Desktop software and the data storage service. You do not need to worry if you have not decided yet, as the online backup plans are available as free trials. This means the system will not charge you for fourteen consecutive days, during which you will be able to test AsaDrive Desktop software and maybe even drop a line to tell us how it felt!

The Online Backup plans make it available an unlimited storage amount for you to safely back up very large amounts of data. Unlimited bandwidth and access to the web portal are included, however the Online Drive and file sharing features are not included.

Of all the five backup plans offered by AsaDrive, the Online Backup and Online Drive is the most popular choice among users. This pricing plan consists of 2 TB storage space, a 0.5 TB to use with the Online Drive feature and also unlimited bandwidth for you to benefit from while taking advantage of your access to the web portal and file sharing. Unlike Drive, the improved Drive+ plan provides unlimited storage, a total amount of 2 TB to use with Online Drive, apart from web portal and file sharing. You should go with this option if you wish to mount your back up, online drive just like any other regular virtual drive and access it straight from your computer.

Last, but not least, the Business plan offers ultimate backup and storage experience, as it includes all features offered by AsaDrive. However, the included storage amount for Online Backup and Online Drive are yet to be determined. The most powerful of all five backup plans is recommended for computer clusters or large amounts of data resulting from the activity of a business corporation.

So start thinking about which one best suits your needs, and if it happens for you to still remain undecided, you can download the free trial.

First Pure Google Apps Cloud Solution for Ambulance Unit Released

Leave a comment

Netkiller worked with the Forest Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps (FHVAC) to design and develop a cloud solution for storing and dispatching ambulance response in a timely and efficient manner.

San Jose, CA, Friday – September 30, 2011 — What has Netkiller been up to these past few weeks? Developing the first ever pure Google Apps cloud solution for an Ambulance Unit. Netkiller worked with the Forest Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps (FHVAC) to design and develop a cloud solution for storing and dispatching ambulance response in a timely and efficient manner. NICER was presented last week at Pulse Check, an annual volunteer ambulance conference.

NICER is built entirely on the Google Cloud platform, providing for secure connections and 99.9% up time guaranteed. Because NICER is built purely on this platform, it runs within your Google Apps for Education accounts without 3rd party applications. Google Apps for Education is a free suite of hosted email and collaboration applications for non-profit organizations.

So what exactly is NICER and how does it work? NICER is a case management system designed specifically for ambulance units. NICER uses 4 categories of information to effectively and efficiently store data: Hotline Call, Dispatch Information, Notification, and Crew. Throughout the emergency response all of these activities are logged and instantly entered into and accessible from the program database.

For example, If an emergency call is received, the dispatcher enters the data into the NICER Hotline Call section. Next, the dispatcher notifies an available ambulance/crew and enters the assignment into the Dispatch Information and Crew sections. Finally, as the ambulance notifies the dispatcher of response status, the dispatcher enters these updates into the Notification section.

Alan Wolfe, the President of Forest Hills Volunteer Ambulance Corps, remarked, “Netkiller was able to design exactly what we needed to track our ambulance response. NICER is an easy, convenient and efficient tool that we can afford.”

Key Features of NICER:
– Simple, fast, and effective cloud solution
– Store information regarding emergency calls, dispatch, and updates
– Accessible from any computer with Internet by multiple users
– Search database at any time
– Customizable and expandable based on the needs

How to Get Started:
Our staff will help you to set up Google Apps for Education and NICER for your organization. Contact us nicer@netkiller.com for more information.

eGestalt Named a 2011 CRN Emerging Technology Vendor

Leave a comment

Channel stands to reap big rewards by using SecureGRC to attract federal meaningful use dollars.

Santa Clara, CA, Wednesday – September 28, 2011 — eGestalt Technologies ( http://www.eGestalt.com ), a leading provider of cloud-based, SaaS-delivered, security and information technology governance, risk management and compliance solutions for SMBs to enterprises,today announced it has been selected by Everything Channel as a 2011 CRN Emerging Technology Vendor. The annual list features the most innovative vendors who not only deliver technology that is easy to use, but can generate the high margins solution providers require.

Channel partners need no more incentive than the $40,000 in ‘meaningful use’ government funds being granted to individual doctor’s offices that install electronic medical records (EMR) that are fully in compliance with HIPAA/HITECH privacy and security rules.

“Large hospitals are eligible for up to $2 million in federal grants,” said eGestalt President Anupam Sahai. “Not only must every physician practice abide by HIPAA rules, but all their business associatestoo must fall in compliance. There are a few million BAs who need to be serviced. So from one hub comes many spokes of potential business for partners jumping on board with SecureGRC.”

Built from the ground up for channel partners, SecureGRC is a cloud-based, SaaS-delivered, $750 per year security and risk assessment, auditing and remediation application. The tool offers peace of mind to channel partners servicing SMBs to large enterprises, including medical providers and their business associates, retailers and merchants that must meet PCI and HIPAA/HITECH requirements.

With version 11 recently released, SecureGRC consolidates all security and compliance-related evidence into a single and centralized repository.It comes stacked with pre-packaged content such as policies that are continuously updated, a trove of best practices, and plenty of assessment questions that make it an easy step-by-step process to run the assessment and prove compliance.

Thanks to the fine print in HIPAA/HITECH legislation, MSPs have a tremendous gold mine of an opportunity to reap big rewards, revenues, and bundling opportunities. The cost of doing a security assessment and PCI compliance can run $100,000 and above.

“Using SecureGRC’saward-winning,patent pending technology, delivered through channel partners, our customers are able to become compliant at 1/10 the cost with very little maintenance.This promises to be a huge boon for the channel,” addedSahai. “And you don’t need to be conversant with the fine print of these PCI and HIPAA/HITECH regulations.”

SecureGRC also offers an automated PCI-DSS compliance management solution that helps meet PCI-DSS requirements in terms ofbuilding and maintaining a secure network; protecting card holder data; maintaining a vulnerability management program; implementing strong access control measures; regularly monitoring and testing networks, and maintaining robust IT security policies. For more information visit: http://www.egestalt.com/automated-pci-compliance-management.html

Channel partners authorized by eGestalt can become Managed Compliance Providers (MCPs), a channel program based around a proprietary “cookbook” that explains in step-by-step fashion on how to get started with delivering managed compliance services through creation of collateral, training, implementation, delivery and on-going playbooks as the business is up and running.

The Federal government has set aside $20 billion for upgrading the healthcare IT infrastructure by the year 2014 – spelling a huge upside for the channel. Service providers can pursue federal ‘meaningful use’ dollars to the tune of $40,000 per qualified physician practice. SecureGRC generates the necessary reports for proving compliance.

“By law, all business associates and sub-contractors affiliated with the given medical practice must follow HIPAA/HITECH compliance rules or face stiff penalties. It could not be more convincing a sale. Like spokes from a wheel, from one customer hub derives multiple new clients to service,” said Jim Hare, eGestaltVice President of Sales.

eGestalt is looking for qualified channel partners who want to help their clients solve and automate the complexities and high costs associated with maintaining and enforcing security and compliance around PCI, SOX, HIPAA/HITECH, ISO, GLBA and other mandatory government and industry regulations that affect most business operations.

For further details please call (408) 689-2586 or email sales@egestalt.com. For further details about the product, please visit http://www.egestalt.com/msp-mssp-partners.html.

The vendors that make up the CRN Emerging Technology Vendor list were founded in 2005 or later, have revenue under $1 billion and have an active U.S. channel strategy. Final selection to the Emerging Technology Vendor list was made by the CRN editorial team after a review of submitted information.
