FYEO

FYEO Inc., a threat monitoring and identity access management platform, today announced its exit from stealth mode with its first B2B product offering, FYEO Domain Intelligence (“FYEO DI”), and the acquisition of threat intelligence firm Intelliagg.

Comcast Business Helps Sabey Bring High-Speed Connectivity to Washington Area Data Centers and Offer Better IT Continuity

Comcast Washington

Comcast Business today announced it is investing in local Washington data centers in partnership with the Sabey Data Centers to bring better IT continuity and connectivity to businesses. Specifically, Comcast Business will integrate its connectivity into data centers located in Tukwila and Quincy, giving businesses a private connection to regional Sabey data centers. The collaboration will also help advance digital transformation initiatives and enable Washington state businesses to better support their employees working remotely. Most recently, Washington state has made a name for itself in the data center sector for hosting the digital assets of California-based enterprises. Thanks to these benefits, Washington is currently experiencing rapid growth across its data center market. Recognizing the benefits of hosting data in Washington state, Sabey Data Centers has brought to market a combined 2.2 million square feet of data center space throughout the state, and is providing tenants with access to reliable, price-stabilized affordable power via sustainable generation, superior connectivity and turnkey infrastructure deployment. As one of the largest privately-owned data center operators in the world, Sabey needs reliable, credible partners to help capitalize on the booming data center market in Washington. They have teamed up with Comcast Business for comprehensive solutions that support the broad connectivity initiatives data centers demand. “CIOs and IT decision makers are often challenged with managing connections to multiple data centers and cloud solutions, managing application performance as well as troubleshooting latency and throughput issues from their data center connections,” said John Ford, VP and General Manager, Sabey Data Centers, Seattle. “Comcast Business’ data center connectivity helps our customers simplify their workloads by providing direct access on a network that can be tied to a business’s physical location – this means great performance, reliability, and scalability, and ultimately greater network agility for businesses.” By integrating Comcast Business’ Hybrid Fiber Coax (HFC) system, Sabey Data Center customers will be able to take advantage of high network availability. Comcast Business has also built diverse 100 Gbps connections through separate network locations in its HFC system, so if there is an outage along one path, alternative paths are available for backup connectivity and support so Sabey customers can stay online. As part of the partnership, Comcast Business will also offer Sabey customers an “on-ramp” to popular cloud services like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and IBM Cloud via the Comcast Business Direct-to-Cloud platform, which connects customers to the cloud without going through the Internet. “Comcast Business is focused on empowering businesses with a choice in hybrid IT solutions and massive Ethernet network reach,” said Scott Woodard, Director of Sales Engineering for Comcast Business’ WA Region. “Our goal is to connect data centers and cloud services to more than one million Ethernet-enabled buildings and businesses nationwide.” In addition, businesses already using Comcast Business Ethernet and IP services will have efficient and secure access to Sabey’s data centers. Plus, workers with Xfinity internet who need to remotely access information or upload files will be able to send their information through Comcast’s statewide network. “We’ve already seen that the demand for digital transformation has the power to completely revolutionize how a business operates,” said Rob Brenner, Vice President of Comcast Business for Comcast’s Washington Region. “As a provider of comprehensive technology solutions for businesses, we are thrilled to partner with the Sabey Data Centers to help local businesses in Washington transform their backend operations and modernize in anticipation of a data-driven future of work.” For more information, please visit http://business.comcast.com.

Timber Exchange urges exporters to Egypt to prepare for July transition to new customs platform

Centersource

While Egypt’s new advanced cargo information (ACI) system is expected to streamline regulatory requirements for importers, the new system represents a significant departure from the current customs system. B2B supply chain platform with marketplace and market data Timber Exchange by Centersource is reminding timber exporters and other companies shipping to Egypt to prepare for the transition. Effective July 1st, Egypt’s unified registration system, called NAFEZA, will become the only means of processing maritime imports into the country. The new regulation will require exporters to submit all cargo data and documents (commercial invoices, packing lists, and final or initial bills of lading) with 3 additional unique elements: ACID number representing the shipment, Importer taxation ID, Exporter registration number upon vessel’s sailing from Port of Loading. If documents indicate wrong or mismatched numbers, cargo will be banned from being loaded on board. Furthermore, all exporters must be registered on CargoX’s blockchain-document-submission platform. Other processes that exporters should be aware of include: Exporters are responsible for providing importers with accurate information: Exporter’s company cargo ID. Exporter’s type ( whether it is a factory, branch, etc..) Correct details of the contact person. Clear details of Proforma Invoice including GS1 code or part/item number & HS code. Create and verify a CargoX account. Ensure that verified ACID 3 elements are added on required documents. Create an ACI filing envelope & submit it to Customs authorities in Egypt through CargoX or through one of its integrated partners such as Timber Exchange by Centersource Technologies. In addition, exporters should be aware of the Importer's responsibilities, which include: Importers will have to register an account on the electronic portal, NAFEZA. Importers must register primary and detailed information about the shipment in order to apply for the issuance of ACID number. Failure to meet ACI requirements could cost exporters. In a scenario where the cargo is loaded onto the ship, but the documents were not submitted in time or one or more of the three elements are missing or miss-matched, the cargo will not be discharged in Egypt, and all re-export costs will be borne by the carrier. In the final weeks before the mandatory operation phase of NAFEZA, Centersource is working to bring the timber industry up to speed to avoid any disruption. Centersource’s founder and CEO Amir Rashad is available to talk about what exporters to Egypt can do to prepare for the next phase of NAFEZA. Amir and his team of 30 logistics professionals are also available to discuss the ways in which Timber Exchange is creating trading opportunities across challenging markets, and helping exporters overcome language and regulatory barriers. To speak with the Timber Exchange team, contact Mai Taha at mai@centersource.io or Jéssica Sanduta at jessica@centersource.io. About Timber Exchange Timber Exchange is a supply chain and risk management cloud-based system by Centersource Technologies offering supply chain tools, market data and marketplace. The platform is built specifically for the unique needs of the forestry industry to drastically improve overall performance and coordination. 80 smart tools in 5 languages cover all steps from inquiry of cargo until it arrives at destination. This allows stakeholders to manage sales, logistics and legal obligations from a central workspace that automatically creates tasks and warnings. 40% of the work can be automated, which reduces delays and helps avoid deviations in responsibilities. The Swedish company is on a mission to automate global trade. Today the company employs 30 full-time staff with extensive, solid, and international experience in technology, forestry, trade finance, and business intelligence.

Utah Community Credit Union Signs on to Participate in Mobile Driver’s License Pilot

GET Group North America

GET Group North America and The Utah Driver License Division (DLD) jointly announced today that Utah Community Credit Union (UCCU) will be the state’s first financial institution equipped to accept mobile driver’s licenses (mDLs) as a legal form of identification for all banking transactions. UCCU is a pioneer of Utah’s recently launched mDL pilot program, providing Contactless ID banking transactions that ensure safety, security, and accuracy with a quick tap or scan – never requiring the phone to change hands. Utah is the first state in the U.S. to pilot an mDL that is fully compliant with international standards that ensure citizens can use it globally as a legal form of identification. The Utah DLD is using GET Mobile Administrator to issue optional mobile driver’s licenses to the state’s mDL pilot participants. The citizen has complete control of the data they choose to share -- limiting it to what is needed to complete their banking transaction. UCCU is one of the largest Utah-based financial institutions, and provides financial services including mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, checking accounts, credit and debit cards, and other banking technologies and services. They are the premier financial instituion to accept mDLs in the state of Utah, continuing their tradition of technology leadership. During the pilot, UCCU will use GET Mobile Verify. Mobile driver’s licenses are verified contactlessly by any standardized equipment at point-of-service, providing verification of identity information while preserving the privacy of Utah residents. Cryptographic proof of ID allows UCCU to unequivocally confirm the identity has not been tampered with, eliminating the subjectivity of visually checking an ID. IDs verified only by visual inspection cannot be trusted. “We are excited to be a pioneer in Utah’s mDL pilot, as we believe standardized mobile IDs provide a more convenient, safe and secure means for our members to entrust their identity information to us,” said Justin Olson, CIO, UCCU. “It has long seemed logical for driver’s licenses and IDs to follow the path of credit cards, and so many other parts of life, by going mobile. The pandemic has really accelerated our pursuit of ways to enable contactless exchanges of information and improve our customer service.” “UCCU jumped to the front of the pack to accept Utah mDL, and we’re thrilled to announce UCCU as the first of a series of pioneers to accept mDL and help us realize the vision of trusted mobile identities accepted across our great state,” said Chris Caras, Director of the Driver License Division for the State of Utah Department of Public Safety. The pilot will initially include 100 select Utah residents and expand to 10,000 participants including the broader public this year. To mark the launch of UCCU’s participation, the press, and new and existing UCCU customers are invited to become among the first pilot participants by signing up for an mDL at events held on Tuesday, June 29 th at UCCU’s Draper branch (112 E 12300 S) and Wednesday, June 30th at the Lehi branch (3333 Digital Dr, Lehi) from 10am-2pm. These will be the first two locations to accept mDLs. A valid Utah driver’s license is required for mDL registration. About GET Group North America GET Group North America and its partners develop, manufacture, and implement end-to-end solutions for secure physical and mobile credentials that enable government agencies, motor vehicle departments, municipalities law enforcement organizations, and other entities to leverage the latest in secure identity management technologies. From photo ID cards, driver’s licenses and passports, to mDLs and mIDs, GET Group NA delivers advanced issuance, verification and personalization capabilities that prevent identification fraud, accommodate diversified customer needs, and support the future of ID use cases. About Utah Community Credit Union (UCCU) Founded in 1955, Utah Community Credit Union (UCCU) is an organization rooted in the credit union philosophy of "people helping people" and built on traditional values of commitment to outstanding service, respect for others, and fiscal responsibility. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of honesty, professionalism, and integrity and are committed to achieving excellence in operations, products, and member service.

Lightbits Labs Appoints Gil Sasson to Chief R&D Officer

Lightbits Labs

Lightbits Labs™, the pioneer and leader in NVMe™ over TCP (NVMe/TCP) cloud-native storage, announced it has hired Gil Sasson as its Chief Research & Development Officer. Sasson, a multiple patent holder, has vast experience in both R&D and cloud-native applications. At Lightbits, he will be responsible for leading all the product development engineering efforts and directing the design and deployment efforts for the company’s private and edge cloud solutions offerings. Prior to joining Lightbits, Sasson served as vice president of R&D at N2WS (a former Veeam company) and managed R&D and customer support teams in the US and Israel. In that role, he successfully decreased N2WS’ release cycles from 6 months to 2.5 months while growing its R&D productivity by more than 25 percent. Before his time at N2WS, Sasson, an expert in agile development, served as chief technology officer at HUAWEI where, among other activities, he established the company’s Storage and Data Protection Competence Center at Israel and filed multiple patent applications on storage and data deduplication. He also has held R&D and software development leadership positions at IBM, FilesX Data Protection (acquired by IBM in early 2008), IR Solutions and TopIO. “Gil’s mastery of R&D and expertise in cloud-native applications and container environments orchestrated with Kubernetes will further fuel our global growth,” said Eran Kirzner, CEO of Lightbits. “With Gil’s extensive insights into customer needs and his proven track record in managing R&D teams to meet those needs, we are confident he will be instrumental in helping us build upon our solutions showcasing the value, efficiency and scalability of software-defined, cloud-native storage.” Lightbits continues to fill key leadership roles this year fueled by a rapid increase in the customer base of their flagship product, LightOS™, and a 5X increase in revenue in 2020. LightOS provides disaggregated, NVMe-based software-defined storage that enables easily scalable capacity, enterprise-class data services, flash-optimized efficiency, and independent scaling of compute and storage resources. It runs on commodity storage servers over standard Ethernet networks and requires zero modification to the application servers to achieve hyperscale deployments at lower cost, greater scalability, and better performance than DAS or other software-defined storage solutions based on Ceph or iSCSI. The company is on a mission to democratize hyperscale storage, making it available to enterprise IT organizations supporting high-performance databases (both SQL and NoSQL-based), big data analytics, and web-scale environments using either virtual or container-based architectures.
