FORTINET: Protecting Remote Workforce and Distributed Network

SINGAPORE, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Organizations around the world are engaged in one of the most rapid network transformation exercises in history. In Singapore and across the region, thousands of workers are now working from home, small branch offices, or in modified shifts to ensure their health and safety while ensuring business continuity.

A teleworker program requires careful handling to safeguard  infrastructure and accommodate new network demands, whilst coping with the sudden surge of endpoints across multiple environments. Once an organization’s basic teleworker solution is in place, consider enhancing it with additional tools to provide extra security and simplification.

Security is critical now more than ever because cybercriminals are likely to target organizations that have made a sudden transition to a mobile worker framework. Fortinet’s threat intelligence unit has tracked an increase in malicious activity related to the novel coronavirus. Unfortunately, FortiGuard Labs researchers found that cybercriminals are using the COVID-19 pandemic as an opportunity to try and steal money and personal information by generating social engineering scams via email, text, and phone calls. 

Over the past few weeks, there has been an increase in attempts to lure unsuspecting victims into going to malicious sites, clicking on malicious links, or providing personal information over the phone under the auspices of COVID-19. Many of these scams attempt to impersonate legitimate organizations, such as the Ministry of Health (MOH) or the World Health Organization, by offering fake information updates and even promises of access to vaccines – all for a price, of course.

One way to strengthen security is educate employees to heighten security awareness as the workforce moves to a more autonomous and exposed remote environment. While businesses can compensate for many of the new risks that new technologies pose to the organization (such as updating or upgrading secure email gateway and web filtering solutions), it is also essential that leaders understand that these workers have become, in many ways, both the most vulnerable targets as well as the front line for defending the network.

Fortinet’s threat intelligence shows that anyone can be a target to obtain access to business networks and sensitive information. For employees now connecting to the office through home networks, even children are potential targets. Beware. Cybercriminals are experts in the art of masquerading, manipulating, influencing, and devising lures to trick targets into divulging sensitive data, and/or giving them access to home and business networks and/or facilities.

There is already a global shortage of 4 million cybersecurity professionals according to a study conducted by (ISC2). This problem is exacerbated with the recent mass migration to ‘work-from-home’ environments that put even more pressure on infrastructure teams to balance performance and security. Another way to strengthen security is to use artificial intelligence (AI) and automation as part of the threat protection strategy.

Over 440,000 organizations that deploy Fortinet solutions already enjoy advanced threat protection using AI. Fortinet devices are linked by the Fortinet Security Fabric platform that takes advantage of a common Fortinet operating system and an open application programming interface (API) environment to create a broad, integrated, and automated security architecture.

When managing a remote and distributed workforce, centralized security visibility and management are essential. It is important that support for telecommuting does not jeopardize an organization’s cybersecurity. This is where automated security comes in to alleviate the manpower crunch. With the Fortinet Security Fabric, all of an organization’s devices, including those deployed remotely to support telework, can be monitored and managed from a single pane of glass.

Fortinet solutions offer an integrated solution to support telework. For organizations using Fortinet, their existing technology deployment already contains this functionality. FortiGate next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) have integrated support for IPsec VPNs, enabling remote workers to connect securely to the company network.

Additional measures that companies should take as more work is done remotely:

  • Confirm the VPN capabilities/utilization and determine if they are adequate
  • Require the use of multi-factor authentication
  • Log and monitor everything and pay attention to anomalous behaviour
  • Monitor the final disposition of data accessed by privileged access users
  • Monitor the key applications and dependencies for anomalous behavior

Deploying large-scale VPN solutions for remote users is a thoughtful process. Beyond enabling simple access, things such as segmenting users based on role, security profile, and the content and resources they require are first-order tasks. Teams also need to identify users that require special access to resources.

Risk management and resiliency require careful planning, combined with an experienced team trained to deal with critical situations in flux. It is essential that teams keep their heads, understand their objectives, and execute strategies with a common goal in mind – maintaining operational consistency, including ensuring that the organization does not compromise on security for the sake of expediency.

People have all been practicing social distancing over the last few weeks to protect against viruses and illness. Likewise, companies should consider cyber distancing from the attackers. Maintain cyber distance by staying wary of suspicious requests, unknown attempts at contact, and unsolicited information and be the protector of information, networks, and health.

CouponBirds Seedling Project Made Great Progress

BEIJING, April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — CouponBirds Seedling Project achieved impressive progress in April, 2020. Over twenty non-profit organizations joined the platform and raised more than $1,000 funds. During this time of uncertainty, The Seedling Project made the fundraising work more manageable for non-profit organizations.

Shoppers earn cash by making purchases and donate part of their earnings to charity organizations.

CouponBirds provided scholarships to fund college students every year in the past. Growing to be a leading savings platform, CouponBirds always does the best to take social responsibilities. The Seedling Project initiation is an effective way to aggregate and amplify the power of a million-user community and give back the best.

How’s The Project Going

These industry awards coincide with their global unveiling of the TCL 10-Series smartphone lineup this month. The awards are from two world-renowned international competitions with over 6,000 entries this year. The criteria are based on a comprehensive evaluation of design, innovativeness, and functionality. As of today, TCL accounts for 13% of the global market and is growing the brand value beyond Asia into North America, European Union, United Kingdom and APAC. TCL is using its reputation as a world-leading TV brand and manufacturer to support their branded smartphone product line. TCL is also excited in creating a vibrant and wide-ranging C-IOT Portfolio of products to support connected home ecosystems. So beyond smartphones, TCL is also offering products such as the 5G CPE Home Station, Mesh Routers, Wi-Fi Routers, and Smart Watches. All of these new products will carry the dependability and reliability that TCL is known for. TCL intends to enter the mid-range market and deliver the best product for the money while ensuring a premium experience for the user.

“As one of the world’s leading consumer electronic brands, expanding the TCL base into the mobile business ensures that we are the only Chinese end-to-end manufacturer that offers a fully integrated smart ecosystem encompassing all aspects of life,” said Kevin Wang, CEO of TCL Industrial Holdings. “This capacity for a single company to produce all the products related to the connected devices from phones to routers will allow for the consumer to have an entire system that is intentionally designed to work seamlessly along with being affordable. This is an exciting and worthwhile venture for both the brand and consumer.”

The strategy of TCL to support the C-IOT fully and offer consumers a complete seamless product line is an efficient endeavor and long overdue for the current state of digital ecosystems. When all the components can be supplied from the same manufacturer and engineering teams, the system will work better. This strategy is meant for both commercial and private usage and supports the networking of both for work and study from home, and leisure activities.

An array of quad-cameras lens is embedded in a stylish stripe on the rear of the phone, consisting of a 64MP high-res camera, 2.9μm big pixel low-light video cam, 123-degree super wide-angle camera and macro camera.

By leveraging NXTVISION technology to produce nearly accurate colors and enhanced image and video quality, the TCL 10 Pro joins a select group of smartphones on which Netflix is available in HDR10 unlocking a wide range of HDR content with increased contrast and enhanced colors at an affordable price point.

SBS deployed LiveU’s 5G-integrated high-end LU600 HEVC units in the most congested areas, representing the first broadcaster to leverage KT’s 5G-Premium QoS solution. Live streaming provided by the MNG (mobile newsgathering) units reached the highest performance levels.

H3C to Reform the Global Digital Economy by Optimizing its Global Strategy

BEIJING, April 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — With the development of 5G, IoT, AI, cloud and other cutting-edge technologies, digital transformation is accelerating the evolution of society’s methods of operation. In fact, IDC predicted that by 2022, the digital economy will account for 60% of the world’s total economy. With the global impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the necessity for digital and intelligent transformation as a way of life has become even more of a significant priority for H3C.

H3C, the leader in digital solutions, is holding the online NAVIGATE 2020 themed “Smart-Volution” from April 20th through 25th. H3C will be officially launching its new AI in All intelligence strategy and unveiling H3C’s Digital Brain Project 2020. In addition, it will also launch a number of innovative products and technologies related to intelligent digital platforms as well as leverage integrated solutions to help industries better cope and achieve a higher level of intelligent transformation.

Gary Huang, President of the International Business Department and Senior Vice President of H3C at NAVIGATE 2020

This proposal of a new intelligence strategy demonstrates H3C’s new insight and thinking on global intelligent revolution. “With the vigorous development of the global digital economy, the demand for digital transformation in various countries is continuing to grow,” Gary Huang, President of the International Business Department and Senior Vice President of H3C, pointed out. “We believe that the global digital industry has vast development potential, and this requires the participation of more enterprises capable of innovating digital and intelligent technologies. We will give full play to our own advantages, grasp market opportunities, provide the best digital transformation value for our customers at home and abroad, and become an important driver for global intelligent transformation.”

In 2019, H3C made inroads into overseas markets with an independent brand after its own name, helping countries speed up their digital transformations.
