Gopher Protocol Develops and Files Patent for Automatic Activation or Deactivation of Airplane Mode for Mobile Devices
PERRIS, Calif., Oct. 05, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTC:GOPH) (“Gopher”) today announced that it has filed a patent for method relating to the automatic altitude and motion activity detection as well as activation or deactivation of Airplane Mode for mobile devices.
Upon development, we expect that a device using our proprietary microchip system and mobile software application will automatically detect the altitude of a mobile device and would be able to activate or deactivate the mobile device’s Airplane Mode. In addition, the system enables or disables other mobile device functionalities according to its altitude and motion activities. This is accomplished by direct communication with satellites and radio frequency waves to determine the mobile device altitude and motion activities which in turn enables or disables the mobile device’s functionalities.
As part of the SOS real time emergency communications (reported last week), the proprietary microchip will directly communicate via satellite with all other proprietary microchips within mobile devices, worldwide, in order to provide the emergency communication, location identification and tracking feature, which we believe will be a useful tool for air travelers. The implementation of this system would be subject to approval of the Federal Aviation Administration as well as other standard business metrics including obtaining the needed financing and market acceptance of the system.
This new patent is a derivative of the GopherInsight™ platform, which is a new, integrated circuit technology developed by Gopher. GopherInsight™ is the heart of a new concept mobile system targeted to learn and adapt to each consumer's shopping habits.
About Gopher Protocol Inc.
Gopher Protocol Inc. ("Gopher") is a heuristic-based technology platform that connects consumers with the products and services they need through a novel way of master scheduling deliverables according to demand at the customer's location based on a smartphone application, the internet or by phone call.

FireLayers and Check Point Join Forces to Extend Security to Enterprise Cloud Applications
NEW YORK and HERZLIYA, Israel, Oct. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In today's ever-connected world, employees are using their devices for personal and business activities, and hackers are targeting these employees using enterprise cloud applications to distribute sophisticated malware. IT needs to combat this malicious activity with new and innovative solutions that are able to secure documents transferred via the cloud.
A photo accompanying this release is available at http://www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/prs/?pkgid=36657
To halt these attacks in their tracks, FireLayers, which provides real-time protection for enterprise cloud applications, and Check Point Software Technologies, the largest pure-play security vendor globally, today announced their joint Extend Perimeter Security solution, which spreads security to cloud applications and provides enterprises with unprecedented protection from zero-day threats and malware distribution via these apps. In pairing the FireLayers Secure Cloud Application Platform with Check Point's SandBlast™ Threat Emulation service for advanced sandboxing, documents downloaded through file-sharing apps are scanned for and cleaned of any potential malicious behavior, ensuring the recipient of a document is not met by foul play.
"Today's organizations are increasingly dependent upon SaaS and the cloud and need the tools that will allow them to continue to be efficient and facilitate collaboration," said Alon Kantor, vice president, Business Development at Check Point. "Our Extend Perimeter Security solution will help organizations extend their security infrastructure to protect against many of the threats associated with SaaS application use today so that they can protect critical business information from any device."
As part of Extend Perimeter Security, the FireLayers Secure Cloud Application Platform scans all file repositories in the cloud, using Check Point SandBlast Threat Emulation to identify and detect any malware infected files. Depending upon the results of the scan, FireLayers enforces security policies to mitigate risk. The joint platform continuously evaluates all files at rest and as they are used. This includes malicious file uploads, shared file downloads, opening infected files and more, protecting the enterprise from active threats.
"We are excited to provide enterprises with a totally new level of much-needed protection against malware being distributed by cloud apps," said Boris Gorin, vice president, Security at FireLayers. "Today, enterprises need security solutions that can manage BYOD and anywhere/anytime access across the extended corporate network. FireLayers extends security protections to cloud app data, access and usage and delivers highly granular policy-based rule enforcement and auditing down to the single command level. The combined technologies from Check Point and FireLayers detect malware and prevent it from infiltrating organizations via cloud apps."
FireLayers protects enterprise cloud applications by integrating context and risk factoring into security policies and triggering user-facing mitigations to prevent data breaches. FireLayers proactively identifies file sharing related actions, in real time, in any application. This includes homegrown applications running on Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, among other IaaS (infrastructure-as-a-service) customized applications and off-the-shelf SaaS tools like Box, Google Apps, Office 365 and ServiceNow.
After intercepting files in transit or resting in document repositories, FireLayers, as part of the joint solution, delivers them to Check Point SandBlast Threat Emulation for inspection on premise or in the cloud. Check Point SandBlast inspects the file in a sandbox environment at the CPU level, evaluating whether the content is malicious or not. It then informs FireLayers of its analysis, triggering the following mitigations as needed: blocking, quarantine, admin alerts, user notifications or a combination of these actions.
Enterprises that deploy the Extend Perimeter Security solution derive the following benefits:
- Extending the perimeter: Widen their circle of protection off premise to include SaaS, IaaS and PaaS apps
- Secure collaboration: Safely leverage and empower collaboration with cloud-based platforms such as Office 365, Box, Dropbox, Jive, etc.
- Identifying and monitoring files: In real time, detect malicious content in cloud applications and mitigate risk with quarantines and alerts
- Preventing malicious uploads: Intercept malicious content before it is uploaded to cloud apps and notify administrators and users of risky behavior
- Enabling business: Real-time user mitigations and a transparent user experience reduce false positives and ensure cloud application usage remains uninterrupted
- Easy deployment: With no configuration on the client side, deployment is fast and seamless

Global Aerial Imaging Market Is Expected To Reach USD 2.24 Billion By 2020 : Radiant Insights
San Francisco, Oct. 5, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global aerial imaging market is expected to reach USD 2.24 billion by 2020. Growing demand in emerging application areas including natural resources management, energy, and disaster prevention is expected to drive the market over the next six years. Increased need for geospatial information and imagery data is also expected to fuel demand over the forecast period.
Browse full research report with TOC on "Aerial Imaging Market Analysis By Application (Government, Military & Defense, Energy, Agriculture & Forestry, Civil Engineering, Commercial, Insurance) And Segment Forecasts To 2020" at: http://www.radiantinsights.com/research/aerial-imaging-market-analysis-by-application-government-military-amp-defense-energy-agriculture-amp-forestry-civil-engineering-commercial-insurance-and-segment-forecasts-to-2020
Adoption of location-based services (LBS) for navigation, remote monitoring, navigation and mobile advertizing is expected to give impetus to the aerial imaging market. Adverse weather conditions and related environmental factors may prevent accurate imaging data collection. Security and privacy concerns among users are also expected to hamper market growth over the next six years.
Further key findings from the study suggest:
- Commercial applications are expected to witness high growth over the forecast period; they accounted for over 15% of the market in 2013. This can primarily be attributed to high adoption by the tourism industry. Planning 3D or 2D seismic surveys for alleviating safety and environment risks is expected to favorably impact the energy segment.
- Aerial construction progress images are used by architects and engineers for infrastructure development activities. Deploying aerial drones in place of manned helicopters for reducing overall cost is expected to be a key growth opportunity. The agriculture sector benefits from this technology through application in drainage planning and farmland management.
- North America accounted for majority of the global market share in 2013. High demand from the agriculture and forestry segment is expected to be the chief growth driver for the regional market. Demand from government agencies employing this technology for research purposes is also expected to fuel the market over the next six years. High demand across application areas is estimated to propel the Asia Pacific aerial imaging market.
- Companies operating in the aerial imaging market may have in-house systems and platforms; alternatively, they may also procure these from suppliers. Continued investments in R&D and technological innovation have been the key strategic initiatives undertaken by major industry participants. Key market players include Blom ASA, Fugro EarthData, Google Inc, Pictometry International, GeoVantage, Inc., Kucera International, Digital Aerial Solutions, Ofek Aerial Photography, Eagle View Technologies, etc.

RegEd Announces Smart Appointment Processing Technology for its Xchange Enterprise Solution
Raleigh, NC, Oct. 2, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RegEd, the leading provider of Licensing and Registration technology solutions to the financial services industry, has announced the addition of Smart Appointments to Xchange, its Enterprise Licensing and Registration solution. The new capability will significantly streamline and automate the management of producer appointments for insurers.
Today many firms employ a manual process for identifying needed producer appointment transactions. When new or changed license information is entered into carrier databases, the typical process relies on a manual check against the firm's internal business rules, often captured in a spreadsheet, to identify the required appointment transactions. Transactions are manually initiated and submitted for state approval. To complete the appointment cycle, submitted transactions must then be manually updated in the firm's database to indicate the new appointment upon notification of state acceptance.
Using a manual process firms are challenged to keep appointment business rules up to date, often resulting in inaccurate information and processing inefficiencies, and increasing the rejection rate by state filing offices. Delays in appointment processing can negatively impact producer time to market, resulting in lost revenue and producer dissatisfaction.
Kristy Locklear, SVP and Xchange Product Manager, stated, "Failure to manage the appointment cycle effectively can lead to inefficient use of time and resources. With Xchange Smart Appointment automation, firms can focus on managing exceptions, lower their rejection rate, eliminate processing redundancies and avoid costly and unnecessary appointment fees."
Smart Appointments enables straight-through appointment processing based on the firm's unique business rules. When license information is added or updated in the Xchange database, Smart Appointments automatically compares the producer's data against the firm's business rules and generates and submits the required appointment transactions to the state filing office. Upon state acceptance of the transaction, the Xchange database is automatically updated to indicate the new appointments.
End-to-end automation of the appointment lifecycle supports high acceptance rates, reduces time to market and enables valuable licensing operations to focus on exception transactions and spend less time overseeing and managing the process.
