Tanium Brings Intelligence to the Edge with Zero Infrastructure Endpoint Management and Security

Leave a comment

With Tanium as a Service, organisations can manage and secure distributed endpoints via a fully cloud-hosted-and-delivered solution

SINGAPORE, July 23, 2020 — Tanium, the provider of unified endpoint management and security built for the world’s most demanding IT environments, today announced Tanium as a Service, a zero infrastructure endpoint management and security platform. Tanium as a Service optimises Tanium’s patented architecture to quickly and efficiently manage and secure devices in a remote work world. The Tanium agent brings intelligence to each endpoint for instant visibility and unparalleled context, enabling IT operations and security teams to act quickly to efficiently manage and secure the environment anywhere endpoints exist.

According to forthcoming survey research from Tanium, businesses are struggling to manage and secure endpoints spread across a remote workforce. Even as cyber attacks increase, frontline defenses like patch management are slipping due to process and management gaps.

“Most endpoint management solutions are designed for office environments, expecting devices to leave the network for occasional travel or work from home. In other words, the world the way it was,” said Ralph Loura, CIO at Lumentum. “Tanium as a Service is designed for remote work environments, expecting some devices to return to the office only occasionally. In other words, the world the way it is. This innovation and commitment to adapting to business needs is why I’m a three-time Tanium customer.”

Tanium as a Service provides enterprise-grade visibility and control across complex distributed environments for both IT operations and security. With its cloud-hosted and cloud-delivered model, built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), customers can perform important IT operations, risk, and security tasks with zero infrastructure and zero overhead, regardless of the number or geographic location of endpoints, or the amount of data being collected. AWS’s highly secure and scalable global infrastructure helps enable Tanium to securely and instantly address dynamic peaks in customer demand.

Tanium is powered by the Intelligent Edge, a uniquely-Tanium approach that delivers intelligence to endpoints, increasing data quality and delivery speed. This ensures organisations and government agencies can secure and manage endpoints everywhere at speed and scale, without the need to deploy additional agents or infrastructure.

  • Endpoint Intelligence teaches devices to provide information or ask for updates only when a management issue or security incident arises. This approach optimises how data is retrieved from and delivered to endpoints, increasing speed and efficiency and reducing management and infrastructure overhead associated with unnecessary data movement.
  • Threat Detection and Response leverages endpoint intelligence to provide real-time visibility into and detection of compromise and post-compromise activity at the endpoint. Automated response helps organisations decrease the impact of malicious cyber activity and recover quickly.
  • Proactive endpoint management quickly identifies unpatched desktops and servers on both modern and legacy operating systems and provides remediation for vulnerabilities without overburdening networks or relying on expensive infrastructure.

“As enterprises adapt to the work-from-anywhere world, they deeply need platforms that allow them to manage massive, distributed, complex, and changing environments with ease,” said Orion Hindawi, co-founder and co-CEO of Tanium. “Tanium has always provided an unparalleled platform for large enterprise endpoint management, focused on the largest companies in the world. With our Tanium as a Service offering, we are opening our platform up to many more customers and lowering the barrier to entry, giving many more enterprises the power that Tanium can uniquely provide to control this new IT landscape.”

Security is the top priority for AWS and we are delighted Tanium has selected AWS services and infrastructure to help provide customers with endpoint management and security across their entire IT estate.” –– Angelo Comazzetto, Principal, Office of the CISO, Amazon Web Services, Inc.

“With ‘work from home’ (WFH) becoming the new normal, Tanium as a Service could not have come at a more critical time. Tanium has developed a distinctive unified platform for endpoint management and security that requires no on-premises infrastructure. Organisations can enable critical IT operations and security tasks on-demand without a need to physically deploy infrastructure of any kind.” –– Michael Suby, Research Vice President at IDC

South Korea’s KT Exports K-Pop Contents via 5G

Leave a comment

– 5G-Powered Live Relays of K-Pop Shows to Hong Kong –

– Export of High-Definition VOD Repackages and VR Formats –

– KT to Extend Korean Content Markets to Southeast Asia –

SEOUL, South Korea, July 22, 2020 — KT Corp. (KRX: 030200; NYSE: KT), South Korea’s largest telecommunications company, announced that it is now streaming live performances by K-pop idols aspiring for global stages to Hong Kong audiences.

KT is rehearsing 'KT Live Stage', which is high-definition global streaming of K-pop contents

The new 5G-powered service began under a contract on content sale that KT signed on July 15 with China Mobile’s music subsidiary, Migu, the leading Korean mobile carrier said.

The contract is an extension of a 2019 memorandum of understanding on collaboration in services of 5G-based new media contents. KT is the first Korean 5G network carrier to export Korean pop music and other digital entertainment contents via China Mobile’s subsidiary.

In December 2019, KT’s 5G network began global broadcasts of K-pop groups on its “KT Live Stage” program. Since then it has relayed seven live programs each month to audiences in Korea via Seezn – KT’s OTT streaming service – and in Hong Kong via Migu’s platform. Those KT Live Stage programs also have been repackaged into VOD format to export.

FarEasTone, a Taiwanese telecommunications company with much interest in high-definition streaming of K-pop contents, also provided its clients with free viewing of KT Live Stage.

KT has collaborated with music promoters and producers in producing the VR contents of all K-pop artists who participated in KT’s earlier live broadcast programs. AR effects also have been added. The VR contents have been drawing keen attention from K-pop fans around the world.

The KT stage lineups range from new K-pop artists who are aiming for global markets to idol groups that have already established fandoms worldwide. K-pop fans around the world continue to follow up their performances with tweets and other SNS messages.

KT plans to further expand its live streaming service, targeting a growing number of Asian countries sharing interest in K-pop contents.

The telecom giant also plans to provide its domestic clients with a variety of global sports contents via Seezn, including those of the Chinese Volleyball Super League, or CVL.

Kim Hoon-bae, KT’s Executive vice president for Customer New Business Unit, says the contract to sell Korean-produced entertainment contents to Migu is the result of the telecom provider’s efforts to help promote the global reach of K-pop contents through its live streaming and other services.

As Kim noted, KT’s subsidiary Genie Music signed contracts on the provision of K-pop contents with Tencent Music Entertainment Group and FUGA in May this year.

Tencent Music Entertainment Group, a company that develops music streaming services for the Chinese market, and FUGA, a Netherlands-based music technology and services company, were the latest additions to the list of Genie Music’s some 50 overseas partners.

Among other partners are Amazon Music and TIDAL in the United States; Anghami, the Middle East; Yandex Music, Russia; JioSaavn, India; and Qobuz, France.

In April this year, KT also agreed with three global content platforms – HBO, VIKI and ODK – to provide them with “The First Shot,” a low-budget web movie, which Seezn had planned and financed.

Kim says the KT-Migu deal will help the Korean mobile carrier provide global audiences with a variety of original contents as well as K-pop contents.

HBO and its subsidiaries are scheduled to broadcast “The First Shot” in 13 countries across Southeast Asia and South Asia in October. VIKI and ODK aired the movie in North and South America, Europe, Oceania and the Middle East in April.

TUKA3D Removes Touch and Feel Barrier For Digital Development of Apparel

Leave a comment

LOS ANGELES, July 22, 2020 — Tukatech introduces the first “feel factor value” to fabrics based on a mathematical calculation using bend and surface friction values in all warp, weft, and shear directions. This feature helps in 3D product design as customers can quickly relate fabric feel without having to wait for a physical sample which can delay the development process.

What is a “fabric feel factor?” It is a number which someone may be able to learn and associate in their mind when imagining what the fabric will feel like. The relational value comparison is based on many fabrics familiar to users. This is like understanding a weather report where, for example, the temperature is 56 degrees Fahrenheit but “feels like” 65. This “feels like” conveys that one might feel warmer than the current temperature would indicate. This may be due to various reasons in the environment for that day including wind velocity and humidity. Simply telling the relative humidity is a certain value or that the wind is at a certain velocity does not instantly convey the feel factor of the temperature. However, if it is told that the temperature feels like 65 degrees it instantly conveys what to expect.

A similar analogy has been applied to fabrics. For example, most apparel people know from experience how soft a fine silk scarf feels and know that raw denim or burlap is rough. A number can be assigned to fabrics that will convey to the mind the feel factor of the fabric. If the softest fabric was a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 and the roughest was a 1, then other fabrics fall in between. This determination from most used fabrics now can be classified with reference number for each and a feel factor for new fabric will help the design community to “digitally feel” the fabric while they can see the drape and movement of fabric in TUKA3D. These values can then be tabulated and the mean for each fabric taken and assigned to that fabric.

“What do you feel when someone say it feels soft like baby’s skin, or it tastes too salty, or the sound is too loud. As humans, we do have our sensory abilities to predict taste or listening on a decibel factor, same senses can relate these ‘feel factor’ to predict the feel of fabrics by comparison numbers of known fabrics. We wanted to give designers the ‘feel factor’ to help speed up the product development process in digital format, as well as give consumers the ability to digitally feel the fabric before making their purchase,” explains Ram Sareen, CEO-Founder of Tukatech.

YSoft OMNI Series Instantly And Securely Connects Printers To Universal Print From Microsoft

Leave a comment

— New Cloud/Edge solution cost-effectively enhances Universal Print from Microsoft ––

BRNO, Czech Republic and DALLAS, July 21, 2020 — Y Soft, the leading enterprise workflow solutions provider, today announced a new cloud/edge computing product family, YSoft OMNI Series™, which consists of YSoft OMNI Bridge™, and YSoft OMNI Apps™, of which YSoft OMNI UP365™ is the first app to be introduced. With OMNI Bridge and OMNI UP365, any in-market network printer or MFD is instantly and cost-effectively Universal Print compatible without needing a full print management system.

Announcing the YSoft OMNI Series - YSoft OMNI Bridge and YSoft OMNI UP365. With OMNI Bridge and UP365, any in-market printer is instantly Universal Print compatible without needing a full print management system.
Announcing the YSoft OMNI Series – YSoft OMNI Bridge and YSoft OMNI UP365. With OMNI Bridge and UP365, any in-market printer is instantly Universal Print compatible without needing a full print management system.

Universal Print, developed by Microsoft, moves key Windows Server print functionality to the Microsoft 365 cloud. Organizations no longer need on-premise print servers or need to manage printer drivers, a long-standing burden on IT resources.

Due to a lack of Universal Print-enabled printers on the market, Microsoft provides connector software. However, the connector software requires a Windows 10 or Windows Server machine (physical or virtual). This Windows machine needs to be maintained, which increases IT burden. Additionally, it also presents a single point of failure, a concern when printing is part of business-critical processes.

With YSoft OMNI Bridge and YSoft OMNI UP365, any in-market multifunction device or network printer is instantly Universal Print compatible without requiring a local or remote Windows 10 or Windows Server machine. OMNI Series eliminates the need to manage printer drivers and install printers and print queues on Windows servers or workstations. It also allows for zero infrastructure, zero-trust network security, and zero IT know-how; printing is simply available to users in seconds.

Today, the YSoft OMNI Series offers these enhanced features for instant Microsoft 365 cloud connectivity and Universal Print compatibility:

  • YSoft OMNI Bridge, a serverless Edge device, connects networked printers to the cloud. Combining two or more YSoft OMNI Bridge devices into a group enhances the business value by providing failover and load balancing when high availability for print services is required.
  • YSoft OMNI UP365 instantly connects current in-market printers to Microsoft 365 via Universal Print. An OMNI UP365 subscription can be purchased for 1, 5, or 25 printers. OMNI UP365 is built on Y Soft’s advanced Universal Print integration, which provides unique benefits – such as failover and load balancing for increased resiliency.

YSoft OMNI Bridge is extensible with future YSoft OMNI Apps for incremental connectivity and additional printing and print fleet functionality for businesses of any size.

“Many customers told us they want to move print functionality to the cloud as they are migrating to Microsoft 365. They can now do that with Universal Print, but don’t want to replace all their printers and MFDs with devices that support Universal Print natively. YSoft OMNI Series provides these organizations with an elegant solution to take advantage of cloud-based print infrastructure today”, said Rani Abdellatif, Sr. Program Manager in charge of Universal Print connector technology at Microsoft.

“As a YSoft SAFEQ print management customer, Microsoft is uniquely aware of our technology capabilities. When they challenged us to create a solution that enabled in-market devices to be instantly Universal Print compatible, we saw a unique opportunity,” said Václav Muchna, CEO and co-founder, Y Soft. “The result is YSoft OMNI Series which will help businesses of all sizes reduce the print services burden on IT staff,” he added.

“Y Soft continues to advance its portfolio and now has a range of offerings to provide customers with multiple entry points into cloud-based print and print management,” says Robert Palmer, Research VP with IDC’s Imaging, Printing, and Document Solutions Group. “YSoft OMNI Series offers a unique value proposition by providing a solution for those customers anxious to deploy Microsoft Universal Print for use with legacy printing devices.”

Y Soft has a history of designing and manufacturing companion hardware devices for printers, and this experience – along with being a Microsoft Gold-certified ISV partner —  makes the company uniquely qualified to offer YSoft OMNI Series as the perfect solution for Universal Print capabilities today and the future services that YSoft OMNI Apps will provide.

YSoft SAFEQ, which provides on-premise print management services, is also fully integrated.

Flexible Formulation for Wire Bonding Features Secondary Heat-Cure for Shadow Areas

TORRINGTON, Conn., July 20, 2020 — Dymax Corporation expands its range of encapsulant materials with the introduction of Multi-Cure® 9037-F. The product cures in seconds upon exposure to UV/Visible light and has secondary heat cure for shadow areas caused by high-profile components on printed circuit boards.

The material features improved flexibility and resiliency for a variety of glob-top, chip-on-board, chip-on-flex, chip-on-glass, and wire-tacking/bonding applications. It is well-suited for encapsulation of critical components on flexible and rigid circuit board materials such as FR-4, Kapton®, and glass, and contains no sharp, abrasive, mineral, or glass fillers to abrade fine wires.

Multi-Cure 9037-F has excellent moisture and thermal resistance, making it a good candidate for use as a corrosion guard for wire-bond connections in battery management systems. Additional uses include encapsulation of components on circuit boards found in automotive ADAS and infotainment systems, aerospace and defense applications, and consumer electronics. Formulated with blue fluorescing technology, the material is highly visible on encapsulated PCB modules when exposed to low-intensity black light for easy visual quality inspection.
