SmartTOP Convertible Top Modules with USB Port

Leave a comment

The SmartTOP convertible top controllers offered by aftermarket electronics specialist Mods4cars come equipped with a standard USB port. This allows for quick and easy configuration of the module via PC or laptop as well as flashing firmware updates available online free of charge.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), Thursday – October 06, 2011 — The SmartTOP convertible top control modules available from Mods4cars come equipped with a standard USB port. In conjunction with the “m4cconnect” software available on the company’s website, this port makes initial configuration of all user parameters as well as updating the product firmware a simple and easy affair. Firmware updates are always available free of charge and only require an active internet connection at the time of update. All product kits come bundled with a USB cable which can be left installed with the module in the car, so a laptop can be used at any time to change configuration parameters or install an update without the need to remove the module.

Each module can be conveniently programmed with a PC or laptop using a small and freely available software program. As an example some modules allow selecting if the windows should roll up after a top open command or if the horn or siren should emit a short beep upon locking or unlocking the car. Should additional functions and features become available at a later point in time, all customers get to benefit from them after running the simple firmware update. Early adopters of new modules can always rest assured that their product will not become obsolete.

“We generally offer all firmware updates free of charge and with no restrictions, for the life of the product.” says PR-Manager Sven Tornow. “Once you purchase one of the SmartTOP modules, you will always be able to benefit from feature upgrades and compatibility improvements, you are never left with an outdated product. This is an unparalleled service in this product segment.”

A list of all firmware updates and recent changes can be found online at: http://www.mods4cars.com/m4cupdate/

The main features of all SmartTOP convertible top modules are one-touch top operation while driving (on some models up to 60kmh / 35mph) as well as remote operation of the top from the original factory key fob (on most models). Top operation is fully automatic with no need to push and hold any switch or button.

Popular brands like Alfa, Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo and VW all get to benefit from the SmartTOP offering. Modules are available for almost all modern convertibles and roadsters on the road today.

The aftermarket kits retail for 209 Euros + tax and up.

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

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. Savant Protection is headquartered in Hudson, New Hampshire, USA. http://www.SavantProtection.com

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.

Leave a comment

Turner offers a look at what we need to do to truly change our lives and how to accomplish our goals. He now shares these lessons and strategies he learned creating a multi-million dollar professional development company that teaches other businesses how to achieve corporate growth.

Valley View, OH, Wednesday – September 28, 2011 — “If you’re not growing, you’re going.”

This is the mantra of Darryl Turner, author of Uncommon $ense, a story about the human struggle with change. Turner said his main character, “Charlie,” is on the brink of failure, but instead becomes successful when he accepts the mentoring of a younger co-worker. The author, an international motivational speaker, sales trainer, and CEO of The Darryl Turner Corporation, said the book was “inspired by the thousands of Charlies my team and I have had the privilege to help over the last two decades.”

“My book is on how we struggle to deal with and process change. It’s a confidential personal struggle,” Turner said. “The topic for the book comes from personal experience,” he said.

“I wrote about what I know and what I help people overcome everyday.”

“The goal is to inspire people emotionally to take steps they would not normally take,” Turner said. “Adapting to a model not of your own is tough.” Uncommon $ense is about what people go through, Turner explained. “It’s a 100 percent real life accurate story. People can relate to the characters.” And when they have finished Uncommon $ense, the author said, readers will have a “significant call to action.”

“Don’t settle for common sense and average results,” Turner said, “set your sights much higher. Set them toward acquiring Uncommon $ense.”

Turner said he gained inspiration to write the book from his Christian faith and pastor Glen Berteau, who penned the forward for Uncommon $ense. The author and his wife of 29 years, Darlene, have four children ages 26, 20, 18 and 5. He has published numerous business related articles.
