SafeGuard Cyber Wins 2020 Campus Safety Best Award Via Campus Safety Magazine

Leave a comment

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Virginia, Aug. 17, 2020 — SafeGuard Cyber, the leading SaaS platform offering digital risk protection for modern communications, today announced that it has been recognized by Campus Safety Magazine as a winner of the 2020 Campus Safety BEST Awards for Incident Response & Records Management Software, honoring superior products and services for hospital, school and university protection professionals.

The COVID-19 crisis has thrown many educational institutions into uncharted territory, with infosec leaders forced to rapidly adopt virtual learning technologies, from K-12 to the university level. This new paradigm brings unique cybersecurity challenges and risk. However, the virtual campus can be comprehensively secured when endpoint protection is combined with powerful digital risk protection.

"Administrators are confronting new and unfamiliar security issues, from ransomware to monitoring digital platforms for cyberbullying, and maintaining the meticulous records required for legal recourse and conflict mediation," remarked Jim Zuffoletti, co-founder and CEO of SafeGuard Cyber. "We’re grateful to receive the 2020 Campus Safety BEST Award in recognition of the technology we’ve built to help educational institutions foster a safe remote learning environment."

"The volume and velocity of digital communications is a unique security challenge," according to Otavio Freire, SafeGuard Cyber’s co-founder and CTO. "One school we’re protecting saw 1200 students generate over 125,000 messages in the first 10 days. At that scale, you need machine learning to flag risks in real time, and in any language to serve today’s diverse student communities."

The 2020 Campus Safety BEST Awards recognize superlative security, law enforcement, emergency management and safety solutions for K-12 campuses, institutions of higher education and healthcare organizations.

"Campus Safety magazine takes pride in focusing on content that helps protection professionals in the healthcare and education markets keep their students, teachers, patients, visitors, and campuses safe and secure," says Robin Hattersley Gray, executive editor of Campus Safety.

The SafeGuard Cyber platform empowers schools to detect and quarantine problematic messages inside of these apps, while flagging inappropriate conduct like obscene language and violent speech, effectively scaling cyberbullying and harassment compliance online. 

ABOUT SAFEGUARD CYBER
SafeGuard Cyber is a Charlottesville, Virginia-based company with a cloud-based platform that empowers organizations to use social and digital channels securely, compliantly, and at the scale of global business. With coverage across more than 50 channels, SafeGuard Cyber helps security, compliance, and communications teams work better together.

Leave a comment

Entrust Datacard has  led the market by adopting an integrated approach to the TLS and PKI business

LONDON, Aug. 11, 2020 — Based on its recent analysis of the global transport layer security certificate market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Entrust Datacard with the 2020 Global Innovation Excellence Frost Radar Award. Its extensive product portfolio; customized, scalable solutions; and flexible business model have helped Entrust Datacard gain a global customer base. The company offers a robust portfolio of TLS/SSL and public key infrastructure (PKI) solutions, including hosted/on-premises/hybrid solutions for PKI, certificate management, and hardware security modules (HSMs).

"Entrust Datacard’s PKI use cases extend beyond web security to IoT, email, and cloud. It has positioned itself as a pioneer in the TLS space with initiatives around post-quantum cryptography (PQC), verified mark certificate (VMC), and cloud-based use cases," said Swetha R K, industry analyst. "The Entrust Certificate Services (ECS) portal brings together public and private use cases of PKI into a single interface. The gateways and endpoints layer on the ECS portal supports a wide range of protocols and enables API-based integration with endpoints and applications. Customers can deploy software agents within endpoints to perform various backend tasks."

Entrust Datacard has exhibited the strongest and most consistent organic growth rate in the industry since 2016, achieving double digit year-over-year growth in both Organization Validation (OV) certificates and in Extended Validation (EV) certificates. And, in 2019, it held the second largest share in the high assurance certificate segment.

The company has achieved considerable success with its focus on long-term innovation in line with evolving market needs and the ever-more sophisticated threat landscape. This commitment to innovation has helped it become the first commercial certifying authority (CA) to have DevOps integrations, such as with ServiceNow and Ansible. It is also the first commercial CA to release verified mark certificates (VMCs) that allow a customer’s official logo to appear in a secure position in an email.

"Another area where Entrust Datacard has taken a pioneering role is in preparing for post-quantum cryptography to help companies sustain their IT ecosystems through anticipated change. It is also collaborating with other organizations like the National Institute of Standards and Technology on new quantum-resistant IETF X.509 certificate formats," noted Swetha. "Entrust Datacard’s strong market performance and investment in R&D will enable it to expand its business through new solutions as well as continue to deliver exceptional customer experiences."

The Innovation Excellence best practice award is bestowed upon companies that are industry leaders reinventing themselves through R&D investments and innovation.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development.

Westwin Shares Findings in Upcoming Chinese Consumers Cross-Border Consumption Report at the Shanghai International Advertising Festival

Leave a comment

SHANGHAI, Aug. 10, 2020 — Westwin, a leading tech-driven cross-border marketing company, was recently invited to join the opening ceremony forum of the Shanghai International Advertising Festival. Leslie Chu, Westwin’s CRO, shared insights and new findings in the company’s upcoming research report on cross-border consumption of Chinese consumers. Recognizing Westwin’s performance and efforts in the cross-border marketing sector, the company was also awarded as the best agency to help Chinese companies go global at the event.

The new cross-border consumption report examines consumption behaviors in cross-border e-commerce, tourism, education, and real estate scenarios over the past two years with analyses on the Chinese customers in cities of different tiers who often shop overseas. The upcoming report is a continuation to Westwin’s signature "Cross-border Consumption of Chinese Consumers" report released in 2018.

Westwin’s 2020 report, which is set to be released this month, reveals that the cross-border e-commerce sector saw an uptick trend over the last two years with peaks at the fourth quarters of 2018 and 2019, given large amount of year-end promotions and shopping festivals, as Chu cited the report. The report shows that due to the pandemic, Chinese consumers purchased more healthcare products to improve their immune system. The consumption pattern of cosmetics, skincare and luxury products painted a very different picture, with only a half of the consumers willing to buy more while the rest tend to save money because of the economic uncertainties. For cross-border tourism, the market penetrated lower cities, with the customers in third- and fourth-tier cities contributing to a 160% increase.

In order to better understand consumer behaviors, the 2020 report teases out four groups of consumers who are easily drawn to overseas shopping. The first group is young mothers in third- and fourth-tier cities, although they often don’t have a relatively high income. But thanks to lower living costs and financial support from parents, they have more disposable income and spare time. Most of them are heavy social media users who love to share what they buy from overseas on WeChat. They tend to shop on impulse and cannot resist the lures of discounts, especially when it comes to luxury products.

Meanwhile, single working women in their 30s living in first- and second-tier cities shop differently, the report suggests. Financially independent and seeing outfits as part of their identities, they typically go for international niche brands to avoid outfit clash. They shop rationally for luxury products but would only buy inexpensive accessories they like.

As for high-income households, women are usually the main shoppers in the family and spend over CNY$100,000 annually on cross-border shopping, including skincare, apparel and accessories, handbags and home appliances, according to the report. They are often well educated and have overseas study experience. They put lots of efforts on their children and like to send them to overseas summer camps or study tours. Meanwhile, men in households, who earn over CNY$1 million annually, often don’t have much desire for shopping but like to spend money on investment and buying properties.

In general, the report shows that women remain the driving forces of cross-border consumption in China and online influencers are still a strong factor for boosting cross-border consumption. Moreover, penetration to lower-tier cities and "cute culture" are the new trends in China’s consuming market.

About Westwin

Westwin, formerly known as Microsoft Online (MSN China), is a leading technology-driven digital marketing company that focuses on cross-border business. It provides branding strategies and digital marketing solutions to help customers achieve success in China and around the world. Westwin is a certified marketing & advertising partner of Baidu, Tencent WeChat, Sina Weibo, and many other major digital platforms in China. With years of experience in cross-border business and partnership growth, Westwin is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to take businesses to the next level in overseas markets.

Killing a Superstar is a suspense film that tells the interwoven stories of various characters confined in a luxury villa where a sudden homicide took place. iQIYI’s VR team used 360°+8K HD VR technology to create the best-in-class original VR interactive content based on an original script. The film is the first to adopt multiple parallel narratives in immersive drama, using panoramic observation and multi-viewpoint switching. By giving the audience the freedom to switch between scenes at any time, Killing a Superstar invites users to explore the film’s storyline and narrative logic. Users can also identify clues and complete tasks while watching to create a unique and engaging experience. The VR film supports 8K HD format and Dolby Atmos, delivering an unprecedented premium immersive VR interactive audio-visual experience.

Killing a Superstar‘s recognition by the Venice International Film Festival is the latest example of how iQIYI’s original VR content is garnering international attention and acclaim. The nomination means that Killing a Superstar has not only been highly recognized by the industry worldwide, but also demonstrates once again that iQIYI remains at the forefront of the VR revolution.

"As a major immersive 8K HD VR project for iQIYI this year and the first film for its VR Interactive Theater, Killing a Superstar defies traditional movie-watching conventions as the understanding of its narrative logic is dictated by the audience rather than the director, giving viewers greater freedom for engagement," Zhang Hang, Vice President of iQIYI said. "The inclusion of Killing a Superstar in the Venice International Film Festival shows that iQIYI’s tech-driven innovative VR content has achieved another industry breakthrough globally. As an innovative expression form for the VR industry, the interactive VR content will help boost the growth potential of the VR industry by tapping into the value and popularity of IP productions."

As one of the first domestic technology and entertainment companies to tap into the VR market, iQIYI has steadily established a VR lineup covering dramas, films, variety shows and gaming. To date, iQIYI has launched a number of VR titles, ranging from dramas (Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mu Ye Gui Shi, Infernal Affairs VR series, City Strange Talk) and films (the Last One Standing VR, Attention VR), to interactive content derived from dramas and variety shows such as Idol Producer, the Rap of China and iPartment Season 5, cartoons (TUKTAKMAN VR) and games (Chinese Paladin 4 VR, The Knight of Shadows Between Yin and Yang VR). Many of these have won critical acclaim and recognition. For example, in 2018, The Last One Standing VR was also shortlisted for an award at the 75th Venice International Film Festival, becoming the first Chinese science fiction VR film to receive the honor.

Going forward, iQIYI’s VR business will continue to launch premium original interactive VR content, creating innovative audio-visual experiences powered by cutting-edge technology. The Company will also strive to explore new genres and applications for interactive VR, opening up new avenues for the burgeoning industry.

Killing a Superstar is released on July 31 to iQIYI users in China’s mainland on the iQIYI VR APP or the Qiyu all-in-one VR headset platform. The Film will premiere online at the Venice International Film Festival from September 2 – 12.
