FinalCode 5 Extends Best-in-Class File Collaboration Security for Accelerated Time to Value
SAN JOSE, Calif., Jan. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- FinalCode, Inc., the innovator in persistent file security that protects sensitive files wherever they may go, today recast the file collaboration security landscape with the release of FinalCode 5. The new platform delivers greater usability, granular control and interoperability functions, which makes it easier and faster for enterprises to fortify their data governance posture for files that are shared inside and outside the company. With FinalCode 5, organizations can cost-effectively enhance existing security investments in enterprise content management and data leakage prevention.
A photo accompanying this announcement is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/f82e6b75-dbb0-477f-8bc4-d958b2882d7a
The growth of bring your own collaboration (BYOC) presents greater and more pervasive data leakage exposures to the workplace. EMA Research’s 2015 State of File Collaboration Security report found a significant discrepancy between file security policies and operations, and the capabilities of respective technical controls in place to monitor and enforce the policies. Of large and mid-tier enterprises surveyed in North America:
- 84 percent of respondents had little to no confidence in current file protection and auditing controls
- 50 percent experienced frequent file data leakage incidents over the past 12 months
- 91 percent of respondents stated the lack of protection of files leaving cloud-based platforms or device containers as the highest risk to adopting cloud file storage, content management and collaboration systems
“Data protection is essential for our company. Since our business relies on the efficient sharing of information, we recognized the potential risk of exposure of sensitive data and shared files. With FinalCode, we now have confidence in our ability to better manage that risk in a cost-effective way,” said Sayaka Doi, director of Professional Services at Pasona N A, Inc. “FinalCode delivered on our adoption and management expectations – we found it extremely easy to use, deploy and manage. The level of file security it provides allows us to alleviate the real data protection concerns of our shareholders, customers and prospects.”
FinalCode 5
FinalCode’s persistent file security platform provides strong encryption and extensive usage controls, including the ability to remotely delete files even after they have been shared. Users may simply define file security settings and respective recipients, or have such controls applied automatically through corporate policy. Because FinalCode manages file security, not storage, transport or content management, the scalable approach readily integrates with a company’s existing file management and cloud collaboration infrastructure. FinalCode can be cost-effectively deployed according to project, department and business application needs and includes file-based information rights management (IRM) for external users at no additional cost – resulting in accelerated time to value.
“Companies are facing a rampant data leakage dilemma, ‘bring your own collaboration.’ Once a sensitive file is obtained by a recipient and leaves a secured repository, it’s gone. Protection and traceability are lost,” said Gord Boyce, CEO of FinalCode, Inc. “The best way to close this gap is to make file security simple, flexible and persistent for the file owner and business – and FinalCode does just that. We welcome organizations and system integrators to take FinalCode for a test drive and see firsthand how easy it is to use, manage and scale.”
New FinalCode 5 has more than 50 new enterprise-grade features, including:
- Completely enhanced graphical user interface (GUI) to facilitate applying and managing multiple policies to a file – file security has never been this easy
- Comprehensive CAD file security support covering a broad array of 2-D, 3-D and business-specific modeling platforms from Autodesk AutoCAD and DWG TrueView, Dassault SolidWorks and Lattice Technology Studio Pro and Player
- Hierarchy mapping to align policy management to internal organizational structure
- Access and usage policy enforcement and remote usage log capture for offline users
- Automatic IRM-controls applied to files placed in monitored network folders
- Expedited installation by external users without requiring administrative system rights
- Customizable roles-based access control (RBAC) allowing broader user type options and ability to transfer file ownership
- Improved file security activity logging and online query with Common Event Format (CEF) and syslog support
- Enriched FinalCode SDK to allow for seamless integration with external content inspection systems
“The proliferation of data sharing applications and cloud services, on top of the existing use of email for collaboration, exponentially increases the risk of data leakage and exposure. When compared to conventional rights management systems, specialized encryption and entitlement solutions are less complex, can apply to a broader number of use cases and may more easily accommodate users outside an organization,” said David Monahan, research director of risk and security management at EMA. “Companies that rely on data sharing and collaboration as part of their workflow and business model will make identifying and investing in enhanced file security platforms a top priority.”
Availability
FinalCode can be implemented as a SaaS or on premise virtual appliance with packages designed to accommodate small businesses, government agencies and large global enterprises. The FinalCode platform is generally available with annual enterprise subscription pricing starting at $19 per user per month for up to 100 users. The FinalCode client, used by external file recipients, is available at no charge and supports Windows, Apple and Android devices. Prospective customers and channel partners are invited to take FinalCode for a test drive by registering at http://finalcode.com/en/test-drive/.

Here a Drone There a Drone Everywhere a Drone
CES 2016 ended yesterday and many of us editors are still trying to recover from a week of talking the walk and walking the talk, err talking a lot and walking even more. Some sites would lead you to believe that VR took over the show floor and while VR was a popular topic I saw more drones at the show than any single one thing.
Of course it helped that they were all in the same location.
CNBC caught on to this and even wrote a little something about it.
The developments mark the evolution of drones to a vibrant, consumer-focused segment from their early applications in the armed forces.
One Israel-based company said it has a drone that can be taken straight out of the box, charged, and used to deliver small items to distances of up to 25 kilometers.
Yariv Bash, the chief executive of Flytrex Aviation, told CNBC's "Asia Squawk Box" on Friday, "Let's say you forgot your cell phone back home. A friend of yours can just connect the cell phone to the drone and it can send it to you."Intel even had a demo of a $2,000 unit using Intel Real Sense to navigate around while recognizing and following its owner. No need to learn the controls just press a button and away you go. Of course it had a camera so filming action shots was never easier.

The Martian Becomes Fastest-Selling Digital HD Title
I will admit I was excited to see this movie and so far everyone I have talked to had many good things to say about it. According to the article the Digital HD version of the movie has already sold over a million copies however, this quote.
"This is the clearest indicator yet that consumers are embracing digital and it’s now a natural part of the purchase consideration for movie ownership," said Mary Daily, president and CMO of worldwide marketing at Fox Home Entertainment.
Saying that this is the clearest indicator that consumers are embracing digital downloads is a little subjective. For instance by all accounts, The Martian was/is an excellent movie with great reviews and pulled in $230 Million on opening weekend in the US. However, saying that One Million Digital HD downloads of the movie is a clear indicator of anything is just looking at numbers and trying to say something positive.
I look at this and see a large group of people who wanted a great movie for Christmas and couldn't wait for the Bluray to be released in January.
It comes out January 12th 2016 btw

Ohio joins 13 other states to deploy system that better prevents unemployment overpayments.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 6, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) will launch a new system to better identify and prevent improper payments to unemployment insurance claimants.
RiskCheckNow®, provided by Louisville-based Appriss, Inc., gives states the ability to cross-check claimants against the nation's largest database of incarceration records.
In order to be eligible for unemployment benefits, claimants must be able and available to work, and must be actively seeking employment. Currently, Ohio cross-checks claimants against an Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction database. RiskCheckNow® will use sophisticated matching algorithms to cross-check claimants against an additional database that contains nearly 80% of the nation's incarcerations. ODJFS fraud investigators will research potential matches.
ODJFS conducted an assessment of the capabilities of RiskCheckNow® to improve payment integrity. The assessment consisted of cross-matching several weeks of claimant data against Ohio and national incarceration data. The results indicated that RiskCheckNow will further strengthen Ohio's process for deterring and detecting improper payments.
"Ohio does an excellent job detecting and deterring improper payments," said Mike Davis, CEO of Appriss. "RiskCheckNow is the nation's largest and most up to date repository of incarceration data, and we're pleased to partner with the state in an effort to improve the state's already low improper payment rate."
ODJFS becomes the fourteenth state workforce agency to employ RiskCheckNow®. States currently using the system report preventing tens of millions of dollars from leaving the Unemployment Insurance trust fund, and reducing overpayments from 13 weeks to less than two. The service has also allowed state workforce agencies to recoup millions of dollars in overpayments.
"Across the country, RiskCheckNow® has made meaningful contributions to improve payment integrity for our Workforce and Medicaid customers," Mike Davis concluded.
