Lumen automates DDoS mitigation as attacks surge worldwide

Leave a comment

Emergency activations increase by as much as 1,200% since July

DENVER, Oct. 28, 2020 — Cybersecurity experts have seen a dramatic rise in sophisticated distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in recent months. Downtime from these events cost businesses an average of $221,000, so the speed to react is more critical than ever.

DDoS Attacks By the Numbers
DDoS Attacks By the Numbers

In response to this need, Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN) is announcing significant upgrades to its industry-leading DDoS Mitigation Service. These new features – which can now be activated on demand – help customers better protect their essential web-facing assets and applications, and reduce the risk of collateral damage during attacks.

Lumen’s new DDoS capabilities include:

  • Rapid Threat Defense. This software-based, automated detection and response service automatically detects and immediately blocks malicious entities such as DDoS botnets. For customers, this means improved application security and availability – even against newly discovered and evolving threats.

    Rapid Threat Defense leverages threat intelligence developed by Black Lotus Labs – Lumen’s threat research and response team. Lumen runs one of the largest IP backbones in the world, which gives Black Lotus Labs unsurpassed visibility to uncover and block attacks earlier than ever – before they ever reach customers’ applications.

  • Three-Tiered Scrubbing Architecture. Lumen believes that intelligent platforms are more effective at threat mitigation in a data center than capacity-only approaches. To that end, the company has developed a proprietary, three-tiered scrubbing approach that uses next-gen technology to mitigate attacks based on size and complexity. Intelligent routing sends larger, more complex attacks to the larger scrubbers, which ensures customers’ business-critical applications continue to perform – both at peacetime, and while under attack.
  • DDoS Hyper. Launched last week, DDoS Hyper is part of the new Lumen digital buying experience, which enables customers to order, configure, and deploy DDoS mitigation services via a self-service portal in minutes.

"Lumen is focused on developing platforms that help customers deploy and secure the applications that power 4th Industrial Revolution," said Chris Smith, vice president of global security services at Lumen. "We leverage our insights to automate detection and response at a global scale, and this allows our customers to maintain the critical web-facing assets that power their businesses."

"With the recent spike in DDoS attacks, the speed of response to new attacks is more crucial than ever before," said Martha Vazquez, senior security research analyst, IDC Research. "Service providers are at a point where they need to speed up response times to stop these advanced attacks from occurring immediately. Having an automated response that can prevent bad traffic from ever reaching the customer is critical, and the ability to instantly spin up a security service rapidly – such as with DDoS Hyper – is beneficial for those who are already under attack or believe one is imminent."

  • DDoS Calculator: Estimate the cost of a DDoS attack
  • White Paper: The new cyber arms race – a changing attack landscape requires a modernized strategy
  • Data Sheet: Lumen DDoS Mitigation Service features and specs

Lumen is guided by our belief that humanity is at its best when technology advances the way we live and work. With approximately 450,000 route fiber miles and serving customers in more than 60 countries, we deliver the fastest, most secure platform for applications and data to help businesses, government and communities deliver amazing experiences.

Amazfit GTR 2, Amazfit GTS 2, classic and fashionable smartwatches with a comprehensive range of health features for active lifestyles

Elegant Design with Impressive Technology

Available with either a stainless steel or black aluminum alloy case, the Amazfit GTR 2 has a classic look, featuring a round 1.39-inch AMOLED display with crafted 3D curved glass that’s clear and easy to read. The slim Amazfit GTS 2 has a rectangular 1.65-inch AMOLED screen and is available with either a midnight black, desert gold or urban grey aluminum alloy case plus matching strap.

Both watch displays are made from 3D Corning Gorilla glass with optical Diamond-like Carbon (oDLC) and anti-fingerprint coatings, which makes the screen exceptionally strong, more resistant to scratches and easy to keep clean. A fully rotatable screen makes the watches equally comfortable whether you are lefthanded or righthanded.

All-round Health & Fitness Management[2] Features

The Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 offer high-precision heart rate monitoring. Equipped with the BioTracker™ 2 PPG optical sensor, which tracks your heart rate 24/7, it monitors your resting heart rate, heart rate zones and provides you with abnormal heart rate warnings, to better understand your heart health.

The BioTracker™ 2 PPG also supports OxygenBeats™[3] to measure blood-oxygen saturation. When engaged in long-term mental work, or physical activity such as participating in marathons or high-intensity outdoor sports, if you feel uncomfortable then you can measure your current blood-oxygen level in order to quickly understand your physical state, and keep your health firmly in your hands.

Sleep quality monitoring[4] ensures optimal performance and these Amazfit smartwatches monitor your sleep and makes it easier to understand your sleep patterns and improve sleep quality. Once synchronized to the app you can learn more about how long you spend in light and deep sleep stages, including the Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep stage, and even daytime naps[5].

Both smartwatches feature the innovative PAI™ Health Assessment System[6] that turns your heart rate data, tracked activities and other health data into a PAI score that lets you understand your physical well-being at a glance.

Both the Amazfit GT 2 series watches support stress monitoring that help you balance your stress levels.

Staying healthy means staying active, so the Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 include 12 popular sports modes[7] that are easy to activate any time you start exercising. Record distance, speed, heart rate changes, calories burned, and other exercise data during your workouts.

The Amazfit GT 2 watches have about 3GB of local music storage so you can listen to music without your phone. With the addition of haptic vibration that delivers customizable haptic feedback when you receive calls or get notifications.

When you take your watch off a wear detection function will lock the watch to protect your privacy and you can add a password for extra security.

With a built-in microphone and speaker, these smartwatches let you take phone calls thanks to its Bluetooth call feature.

New Generation GT Watches Make Life Smarter, More Efficient and More Fun

Now you’ve got voice control, here’s where the GT 2 watches get super smart. With Amazon Alexa built-in you can ask questions, search for information, get translations, create shopping lists, set alarms, timers and reminders, check the weather, control smart home devices and more. You can talk to the Amazfit GTR 2 and Amazfit GTS 2 and Alexa will respond to your voice commands with text responses on screen. For example, just say,

  • "Alexa set a timer."
  • "Alexa add eggs to my shopping list."
  • "Alexa turn on the living room lights."
  • "Alexa how’s the weather today?"

Alexa lives in the cloud, so it’s always getting smarter, adding new capabilities that are delivered to your device.

An offline voice control feature also lets you perform voice operations on your watch even without Internet access, including turning on sports modes, heart rate tracking and more.

The long battery life of the GT 2 series watches means they will be with you on your journey every day of the week.

ViewSonic Launches New Product Lines Notas Pen Display and WoodPad Paper for Distance Learning

Leave a comment

Next-generation Solutions to Support the New Normal in Education

BREA, Calif., Oct. 28, 2020 — ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, today announced the launch of the Notas Pen Display and the WoodPad Paper to enhance the experience of distance learning and coping with "the new normal" of the post-pandemic world. These new solutions are to be used as supplementary equipment at home, in the classroom, and highly portable. The Notas Pen Display PD1330 is the thinnest 13.3" pen display featuring a battery-free pen to create, manage and share digital materials. The WoodPad Paper is a user-friendly solution that offers the advantage of digitalized learning notes in real-time.

"As a leader in education technology, ViewSonic has leveraged its forward vision to solve the education challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. With our latest innovative solutions, teachers and students will advance their skill in distance teaching and learning and be able to transit back to school seamlessly," said Kevin Chu, Director of the Pen Display and Authentication Business Unit, ViewSonic. "The new solutions are also a testament to ViewSonic’s long-term commitment to the education sector, for instance, ViewSonic’s myViewBoard platform provides a highly effective, intuitive, and engaging distance learning experience."

Notas Pen Display – The thinnest 13.3" pen display for Teachers

There are two main challenges teachers are facing in distance teaching – the difficulty of using a mouse to add annotations and the ability to maintain eye contact with students. By using a portable digital whiteboard, teachers are able to write and take notes on the Notas and still keep eye contact with the students as they would in a physical classroom. This new device allows intuitive teaching without changing the teachers’ natural behavior.

With a lightweight (0.8 kg) and ultra-thin (7 mm) design, this visual tool transmits course content in a digitalized whiteboard handwriting format directly to each student in the classroom or elsewhere. With these high-level specifications, the product could also be used for professional drawing education.

Teaching materials are displayed accurately onto the digital whiteboard due to its matte LCD with pen pressure levels of 8,192 and +/- 60-degree pen tilt angle for a natural handwriting experience. The 250 pps (point per second) response rate minimizes latency – less than 26 ms. Moreover, the battery-free pen is specifically designed to allow for precise yet diverse handwriting of text, math formulas, and other common teaching content.

To provide a better user experience, the Notas also features six user-defined hotkeys. Teachers could set up shortcuts for functions they use most often, like "Eraser" or "Recovery." Thanks to the one cable USB Type-C support, the Notas could be easily set up to keep your desktop clean and tidy.

WoodPad Paper – A user-friendly Tool for Digitalizing Classroom Notes

The WoodPad Paper is designed to help teachers and students digitize notes in real-time synchronization, comes with a drawing pad and battery-free pen. The device works with a variety types of paper, from sticky notes to yellow legal notepads, with up to 1 cm thickness. It also complies with international D1 pens while changing strokes and colors on different software platforms. 

Ideal as a complement to non-touch notebooks, the WoodPad Paper offers 4,096 pen pressure levels, a +/- 60-degree pen tilt angle, and a 5,080 LPI resolution on a 7.5” writing surface to create precise handwriting into a digital format for easier management and storage. 

For more excellent usability and versatility, the USB-powered WoodPad Paper eliminates battery replacement problems and offers broad compatibility with Windows, Mac OS, and Chrome OS.

Challau Lets People Around the World ‘Teleport’ to Virtually Visit Places by Beaming Into Remotely Controlled Robots

Travellers can now explore far away destinations in real-time through the eyes of a robot using their smartphone or computer

LONDON, Oct. 23, 2020 — People who have been unable to travel can now, for the first time, visit and explore a variety of destinations with a new platform by Propelmee that lets users ‘teleport’ to places thousands of miles away.

UK technology start-up Propelmee today announces the public beta-release of Challau, a first-of-its-kind robot-powered virtual travel platform. Using Challau, travellers can choose from a range of destinations called ‘Portals’ to decide where they want to ‘teleport’ to. Each Portal has a live countdown until it becomes Active, at which point anyone can enter the Portal and virtually arrive at that location. Travellers can then experience the live sights and sounds that a Challau Robot is seeing and hearing at the Portal’s physical location, and then choose to ‘beam into’ a robot.

A digital on-screen joystick lets travellers guide the robot’s movements through their smartphone or computer with a full-screen view from the robot’s main and secondary cameras. People around the robot can also see and hear the beamed in remote travellers, and using the robot’s microphone and speakers, remote travellers can speak to locals should they wish.

Challau also supports physical joysticks and other game controllers that are paired with a browser (e.g. Playstation or Xbox controllers) making the experience like a real-life first-person video game. Challau robots are equipped with built-in safety technology and artificial intelligence to support the virtual travel experience.

"Countries around the world have imposed many travel restrictions and introduced strict quarantining rules. This makes it very difficult for people to travel for leisure or recreation. Tourism is one of the last remaining sectors to go fully digital – there aren’t any good online alternatives for visiting places and that’s what we wanted to solve with Challau", says Zain Khawaja, Founder & CEO of Propelmee.

Challau currently offers virtual travel to 7 destinations in the UK, including iconic tourist attractions such as Trafalgar Square London and historic locations in the city of Oxford. Challau aims to scale up to 21 Portal destinations in the UK and internationally at the start of the New Year.

"Compared to existing online travel options, Challau gives users complete agency to explore as they wish, in real-time. We think that it’s really exciting for people to drive a robot on the other side of the world. It’s the closest thing to actually being there in person", says Khawaja.

The company is extending its technology to support other types of edge devices for unique remote travel experiences in crowded bazaars or busy city centers and is also integrating augmented reality to enrich user experiences. The service is currently free to try at www.challau.com and does not require pre-booking.
