  • At Money20/20 2015, Gemalto Shares Insights on Securing the Next Generation of Trusted Digital Payments

    AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gemalto (Euronext NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, is bringing to light the security and fraud concerns banks and merchants should consider for secure digital payments from online to mobile and everything in between. Mitigating fraud and the losses it causes will continue to be an ongoing battle. It is about solving the different levels and types of fraud one at a time. For the U.S., the recent arrival of EMV chip technology is the first step and solves a major form of fraud - counterfeit cards at the point of sale. It is inevitable that fraudsters will refocus on the weakest link in the payment chain, and from previous EMV case studies, CNP transactions are the next target.

    During the three day event (October 26th – 28th), Gemalto is demonstrating the newly launched Dynamic Code Verification (DCV) solution designed to protect against CNP fraud. Visit the Gemalto lounge to see first-hand how DCV is securing eCommerce payments and also the company's "top of wallet" card portfolio for banks interested in bringing a unique look and feel to their payment cards.

    Hear from Gemalto's Jack Jania, SVP of Strategic Alliances, during his panel "Fraudsters in Cyberspace: Mitigating the Threat of Card-Not-Present Fraud" on October 28th at 12:40 in Marcello Ballroom, Venetian Level 4.

    The panelists along with Gemalto's Jack Jania will discuss topics including the evolving patterns in fraud, how and what needs to be secured to minimize risk, and the mobile challenge.

  • Varonis Brings Frogmore Peace of Mind, Keeping Its Data Safe From Internal and External Threats

    NEW YORK, Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today detailed how its broad portfolio of solutions is helping Frogmore's UK workforce secure their sensitive data while simultaneously making it easier for employees and business partners to collaborate.

    Frogmore, one of the U.K.'s premier real estate companies focused on commercial real estate investments, had several data security requirements to meet, such as ensuring that important documents are kept private and cannot be copied by employees leaving the company, keeping track of who has access to what documents, preventing them from being lost, and making the data files searchable. Additionally, Frogmore needed to ensure all data was moved safely during a major server overhaul and also give employees sending large email attachments to investors a secure alternative to Dropbox.

    • Full Control with DatAdvantage: With numerous high-profile contacts, keeping client files secure when employees decide to leave the company was an important capability identified by Frogmore. With confidentiality integral to company operations, Frogmore deployed DatAdvantage, enabling them to monitor and baseline employees' access profiles and detect if any files had been copied or moved leading up to their departure.

    According to Ben Lester, IT support engineer at Frogmore, "Varonis has definitely reduced the risk of data leaving the company. Now, when an employee announces he or she is leaving, we can monitor their file-downloading activity and also find out if they downloaded any files to a USB."

    • Accessing and Moving Sensitive Files: An organization like Frogmore has terabytes of data, much of which is comprised of files that are considered sensitive. Finding these files, figuring out who has access to them, and moving them around isn't easy. By utilizing the Varonis Data Classification Framework, Frogmore now understands how sensitive data is being used, including who has access to it. With the Varonis Data Transport Engine, Frogmore is able to move critical data with peace of mind from domain to domain and track movements while ensuring no classified data is moved without management's permission.
       
    • DatAnswers – A Secure and Easy Search Engine: DatAnswers delivers relevant search results to only Frogmore employees who should have access to them. DatAnswers uses metadata to understand relationships between Frogmore's people and data, profiles access activity and behavior, predicts where permissions are incorrect, and delivers a better experience through highly relevant search results, protection of sensitive content and efficient indexing.
       
    • DatAnywhere – Collaboration Made Easy: As collaborating with third parties using large files is an integral part of Frogmore's day-to-day activities, the company required a secure, reliable solution that made these transfers easy and traceable. After considering other companies, Frogmore chose Varonis DatAnywhere as it was simple to use and preserved control over shared files. Lester added, "The quickness and ease of DatAnywhere has helped improve productivity because we're able to send files to clients much faster."

  • UBIC Obtains New US Patent Office Notification for its AI-based Document Classification System

    TOKYO, Oct. 22, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- UBIC, Inc. (Nasdaq:UBIC) (TSE:2158) ("UBIC" or "the Company"), a leading provider of international litigation support and big-data analysis services, announced today that the US Patent and Trademark Office has recently issued a Notification of Allowance to the Company for a patent application related to UBIC's data classification system backed by artificial intelligence ("AI"). The technology utilized by the multistage processor helps users categorize vast amounts of data related to litigation. The Company considers the patent highly significant as it "protects UBIC's artificial intelligence technology". UBIC has previously obtained a Japanese patent for this system (patent registration number: 5530476; registration date: April 25, 2014), so the US patent approval marks the expansion of UBIC's IP protection for this technology into a second country.

    The new technological function covered by this patent is a manifestation of UBIC's innovative concept called "Behavior Informatics." The necessary procedures for patent registration have already been executed, and the patent is currently pending issuance.

    Description of the US Patent:
    The US Patent application number: 14/346,364
    Priority date: March 30, 2012
    The US application date: March 21, 2014

    This patent covers numerous techniques and methods. First, users choose a set of keywords with which to extract significant data from electronically stored information ("ESI"). Upon completion of the keyword search, UBIC's proprietary technology, Predictive Coding®, takes over to classify the remaining ESI as relevant or not relevant. Our Predictive Coding® software is capable of exposing relations and connections between data and actual events. It works by assigning scores to each document based on its analysis of the document's relevance compared to the keywords provided. Once the software analysis is complete, users can review the classification results and gain a short-cut to the most significant and relevant items of data. The system boosts the accuracy of the Lit i View platform (UBIC's data analysis platform).

    UBIC's Intellectual Property Activities:

    As a technology company developing proprietary software with a unique brand, UBIC puts special emphasis on protecting its data analytics business and its intangible assets in an industry which is constantly expanding on a global level. UBIC actively pursues the acquisition of intellectual property rights through patent applications in multiple countries across the world. For example, as of September 4, 2015, 79% of its patents have been filed in countries outside of Japan. Because UBIC provides cross-border eDiscovery litigation services to support primarily Asian companies based in the U.S., obtaining IP protection in the U.S. market is one of the Company's key strategic priorities. The Company considers this Notification of Allowance to be an important milestone in this continuous and on-going effort.

    UBIC intends to continuously strive to fortify its intellectual property position and aims to become one of the dominant players in international litigation support and big-data analysis in its target markets.

    About UBIC, Inc.

    UBIC, Inc. (Nasdaq:UBIC) (TSE:2158) supports the analysis of big data based on behavior informatics by utilizing its technology, "VIRTUAL DATA SCIENTIST" or VDS. UBIC's VDS technology is driven by UBIC AI based on knowledge acquired through its litigation support services. The VDS incorporates experts' tacit knowledge, including their experiences and intuitions, and utilizes that knowledge for big data analysis. UBIC continues to expand its business operations by applying VDS to new fields such as healthcare and marketing.

    UBIC was founded in 2003 as a provider of e-discovery and international litigation support services. These services include the preservation, investigation and analysis of evidence materials contained in electronic data, and computer forensic investigation. UBIC provides e-discovery and litigation support by making full use of its data analysis platform, "Lit i View®", and its Predictive Coding technology adapted to Asian languages.

Featuring the same chassis as the new BOXX APEXX 1 workstation, renderPRO 1 is designed to sit neatly on top of it or on the user's desk. It requires only power and a network connection and provides round-the-clock maximum workload operation thanks to a liquid-cooling system that ensures cool, quiet, reliable performance. renderPRO 1 was designed exclusively by BOXX Engineering and is manufactured in the United States.

    Albany, NY, Oct. 21, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- This report concerns a new market for wearable electronics that awaits those prepared to make formulations and intermediate materials for the new 2D and 3D electronic printing, in-mold electronics and other processes. These and similar processes discussed in the report are being adopted over the coming decade because wearable electronics is changing its form radically, the better to comply with physical and economic needs as the report explains.

    The change of materials, suppliers and processes is driven by the fact that the new e-skin patches, e-textiles, stretchable, tightly rollable devices and so on cannot be made with the old "components in a box" approach. Electronics must become transparent or disappear into everyday objects such as spectacle frames for example. Suppliers are needed for formulations and intermediate materials at the heart of this new electronics and electrics. Premium pricing awaits.

    The report evaluates how wearable electronics offers these suppliers over $100 billion in cumulative material sales over the coming decade. This report is written for these suppliers as the only comprehensive, up-to-date analysis of the whole scene that focuses on materials needed rather than the finished devices. It has many figures and tables of explanation, analysis and market value prediction for 2015-2025 for both the materials and the complete devices.

    Sector: ICT, Wearable

    The appraisal and prediction is based on interviews worldwide in many languages, searches of proprietary IDTechEx databases and other sources and recent conference presentations, not least those at the successful recent IDTechEx events on the subject. The report is global in reach and sourced by recent extensive travel to universities, research centres, events and companies worldwide. It assesses the activities of key players and it evaluates the gaps in the emerging materials market for wearable electronics and electrics. What is the need for inorganic and organic compounds and composites by molecule and atom and for which allotropes of carbon? In what form such as ink or pre-coated film? It is all here. The report forms part of a series of reports on markets and technology for the booming market for wearable electronics. Respectively they cover the whole business, that for animals and the enabling e-textiles, stretchable electronics, printed electronics, 3D printing, structural electronics and energy harvesting.
