QASymphony offers free version of qTrace that cuts defect reporting by 70%.

Atlanta, GA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/11/2012 -- QASymphony (http://www.qasymphony.com), the developer of qTrace, an intelligent defect documentation Quality Assurance tool that helps testers create practical, detailed and informative defect records, today announced a free version of its popular qTrace tool for testers and software developers.

qTrace solves the sometimes agonizing and time-consuming practice of reproducing and reporting of found defects during the software testing process. While simple defects are easy to replicate, complex or intermittent defects require a lot more effort by testers to document and report.

qTrace is not a screen or video capture tool but is instead an intelligent capture technology similar to those found in sophisticated test automation tools. In less than 5 minutes, a tester can have qTrace running, integrated with their defect tracking system, and more quickly create better defect records.

qTrace (http://www.qasymphony.com) tracks user's interactions with an application and uses that information to automatically create detailed defect documentation. qTrace supports the recording of a wide range of applications and technologies on the browser as well as desktop apps.

"Software development testers are frustrated by the amount of effort it takes to communicate complex defects clearly to the development team," says Vu Lam, CEO of QASymphony. "qTrace is an elegant solution that makes it simple for testers to isolate, highlight, and report software issues. It intelligently produces defect reports that contain detailed scripts of each test step, complete with screen shots and system information."

qTrace expedites the QA process with more accuracy and brings products to market by as much as 20% faster and cuts everyday defect reporting by 70%.

Useful editing features include annotation tools such as call-out boxes, pointers/arrows, blurring and cropping, making it easy to further enhance the clarity of the defect report.

qTrace is available as a free edition or low-cost Pro edition and can be downloaded at http://www.qasymphony.com. In summary, qTrace:

- Reduces manual documentation efforts and increases accuracy of defect descriptions;
- Shortens defect resolution time by providing more information to the bug fix team;
- Complements and integrates with existing application lifecycle management (ALM) and defect tracking tools.

"Data Integrity in the Big Data Digital Age" gives data its proof in court.

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/02/2012 -- A new executive brief published by IDC examines one of the major obstacles organizations face when committing resources and applications to cloud computing. At stake is the issue of validating the integrity and authenticity of data within a cloud environment.

"When the data is hosted onsite, this process of data integrity can certainly be a challenge. However, when data is not hosted within the traditional internal IT data center environment, there needs to be a method of ensuring indisputable data integrity," cites the report.

Titled "Data Integrity in the Big Data Digital Age", the research paper ties the current Big Data phenomenon with cloud computing, making a case for how organizations must grapple with analyzing and basing decisions on petabytes of unstructured data, yet rarely questioning the authenticity of this data.

Questions the report seeks to answer include: Has my data been tampered with? Is the data source legitimate? How can indisputable proof be offered that data integrity remains intact? And in cases that involve the legal system, how to bring documents, log files, or audio files to the level where they can be admitted as irrefutable evidence?

These questions take the data integrity argument well beyond the premise and perimeter of IT security matters. Few options exist today that can achieve tamper-proof data security outside of the reliance on third-party certification authorities, or the unwieldy management of a public key infrastructure. What's required is a way to validate, verify, and self-authenticate the data independently of any third-party agency.

Sponsored by GuardTime, ( http://www.guardtime.com ) the executive brief details a compelling case for the adoption of Keyless Signatures, explaining how the mathematically-driven system works. The Keyless Signature technology is used to provide indisputable proof of time, origin, and integrity for electronic data.

"The goal of the keyless signature technology is to provide mass-scale, non-expiring data validation while eliminating the need for secrets or other forms of trust, thereby reducing or even eliminating the need for more complex certificate-based solutions, as these are ripe with certificate management issues, including expiration and revocation," the paper explains.

"A keyless signature provides an alternative method to key-based technologies by providing proof and non-repudiation of electronic data using only hash functions for verification. The implementation of keyless signature is done via a globally distributed machine, taking hash values of data as inputs and returning keyless signatures that prove the time, integrity, and origin (machine, organization, individual) of the input data."

"Any client using the keyless signature service can make a request to sign any data item it has access to; a log file, XML file, office document, database record, SWIFT transaction, FPML message, eDiscovery productions, etc. In return, the client will receive a keyless signature which can be stored along side the signed data, within the signed data, or in a repository separate from the signed data for backup and archival purposes."

By signing the data using GuardTime's Keyless Signatures ( http://www.guardtime.com ), an organization can automatically detect when and where the data was created or transferred, and if the data has been tampered with or not. An alert is sent to the customer when an abnormal status is detected.

In this manner, organizations can assure the integrity of data and confirm the location where data exists, providing a full audit trail of data usage and storage in the Cloud.

The report concludes with "The keyless nature of this technology helps reduce the footprint by removing the need for cipher keys and passwords, which arguably can also be lost or mislaid, and since the integrity can be validated by the document owners, the ability to leverage the cloud computing platform places it well for future adoption."

The full report can be found here: http://www.guardtime.com/whitepapers

About GuardTime
GuardTime was founded with the goal of solving one of the biggest problems in computing: how to be sure electronic data is authentic. GuardTime's Keyless Signatures provide proof of origin and that not a single bit of the data has changed since a specific point in time. The verification of the signatures can be done offline without reliance on keys, secrets, or the existence of a trusted third party. GuardTime's mission is to change the world to one in which Keyless Signatures are ubiquitous and a natural part of the everyday data lifecycle, whether on disk, in transit, or in the Cloud. The company was recently selected as co-winner of the Innotribe $100K Start-Up Challenge, honoring the company as one of the world's most promising financial technology start-ups.

Journal Broadcast uses Anvatovideo platform tocreateand syndicate video clips from live broadcast.

Mountain View, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2012 -- Anvato Inc. ( http://www.anvato.com ), the only video platform that combines live and on-demand video publishing, distribution and monetization in broadcast quality, today announced it has signed Journal Broadcast Group of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a successful operator of 14 television stations and 33 radio stations stretching from Florida to California.

Journal Broadcast is already realizing the benefits of using the Anvato's Live Capture Editor to create clips in near real-time, from all of Journal's local television broadcasts.

"Anvato makes publishing video to our multi-platform properties easier and faster than ever before," said Michael Gay, Vice President of Interactive Media for Journal. "Our stations are using Anvato's tool to publish within moments of video airing in broadcast. The HD capture enables the quality of the video to be exceptional on our sites, on mobile devices, and in our syndication outlets. Plus, because Anvato is web-based, we can have editors generate and publish those clips from anywhere."

Live Capture boxes installed at local stations allow Journal's content producers to capture high definition video directly from live broadcast signals. Journal video editors are able to access the video feed remotely, through a browser, to cut out and edit video clips such as TV shows, or news reports.

"It is about creating premium inventory faster and more effectively from live broadcasts," said Anvato CEO Alper Turgut. "Broadcast cue tones, combined with Anvato's computer vision based video fingerprint called Anvato Perceptual Signature™, infallibly detect scene and context changes to automatically segment the live broadcast stream. Editors can cut clips and fine-tune under a minute."

Anvato's Auto-Segmenter tool ( http://www.anvato.com ) utilizes computer vision to locate television commercials and remove them from the clip in one click. The resulting clip is free of commercials, ready to be monetized for the web. Other productivity features include closed-caption navigation, and automatic clip meta-data population based on electronic program guides.

Anvato has been an innovator in video. It is the recipient of the Frost & Sullivan Global Innovation Award in Online Video with customers such as Univision, Journal Broadcast Group and Endplay.

New QA tool decreases defect capture time by 30-50% and decreases fix time by 10-30%.

Dublin, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2012 -- QASymphony ( http://www.qasymphony.com ), a SaaS provider focusing on bringing intelligent software testing tools to market, announced its launch today.

"The cloud-powered software development lifecycle is beginning to be fully realized," said Vu Lam, CEO of QASymphony. "Todays' developers and testers require testing tools that provide more than basic record-keeping and collaboration. They require tools that support cloud-based software development and testing processes along with agility, scalability and, most importantly, intelligence into how the software is being designed, deployed and used. Our mission is to provide these tools from our cloud-based platform."

As a first step, QASymphony ( http://www.qasymphony.com ) is releasing its first product, qTrace, an easy-to-use, defect capture tool for bug discovery that provides insight into how software is used.

qTrace captures all steps, screens, and system information associated with a defect along with out-of-the-box integration enabling the user to submit the defect trace to any bug tracking system of choice.

qTrace provides testers an easier and faster way to report defects. In the past, software testers worked through an application to find bugs and the drudgery starts; retracing steps, doing screen captures, making notes, compiling a report, opening a defect tracking tool, and then finally submitting a ticket. Not fun, not productive, and often time resulting in defect reports that were missing key pieces of information.

With qTrace, testers simply turn on the tool as they start their testing session. qTrace runs in the background and captures every screen and every step performed during testing. qTrace then automatically generates a detailed defect report from the captured information that includes how the application was being used along with associated environmental information. While in stealth mode the company had qTrace in beta testing, and customers found that qTrace decreases defect capture time by 30-50% and decreases fix time by 10-30%.

"qTrace's seamless integration with our bug tracker is a huge plus; combined with the ease of use, qTrace definitely helps us reduce testing cycles," said Lakshmi Janardhan, QA manager for Compuware Corporation.

"We are really excited about getting qTrace in use across our entire testing organization," said Gwendolyn Sanders, senior QA analyst at Silverpop. "The beta showed us that we could cut in half the time it takes to capture screens and record defects."

"qTrace is so easy to use. It took me a few minutes to download and install, then I was able to start capturing and submitting defects right away without having to look at a user manual," said Kevin Konishi, development program manager, Next Step Learning.

qTrace Benefits Include:
- Ease of use. With qTrace, testers use simple point-and click commands to start recordings, modify records, and publish reports.
- Automation. qTrace automates the capture of complete bug reports-including the steps that precipitated the defect's occurrence. Testers can easily add details or modify the record, or just move forward with submitting a ticket.
- Seamless Integration. Through its integration with leading bug-tracking tools, qTrace enables testers to create new defect records and submit complete details into a bug-tracking tool-with a single mouse click. qTrace also provides an API that allows custom integration with any defect tracking tool.
- Defect reporting quality improvement. By eliminating a lot of manual, error-prone efforts, qTrace helps improve the accuracy and specificity of defect descriptions.
- Productivity boost. With qTrace, teams can spend less time on documentation, and more time on testing. Consequently, testers get better at what's most important: validating functionality. qTrace helps turn even novice testers into proficient testing experts.
- Product development acceleration. With qTrace, application development teams can speed QA cycles, enhance collaboration and provide better information to development, so the organization can more quickly get quality products to market.

"All of us at QASymphony are passionate about software quality. We are launching the company on Valentine's Day because we love software developers and testers, and we are confident that in time software developers and testers will come to love us as well," said Vu Lam, QASymphony CEO ( http://www.qasymphony.com ). "Our roots are in software development; we are passionate developers and testers ourselves. Having provided development and testing services to over 75 companies in the past, we understand their needs. The products we will introduce to the market will help testers and developers release high quality products faster. We believe our first product, qTrace, will become an indispensable application for them."

Pricing and Availability:
qTrace is available today. Customers can download a free trial at http://www.qasymphony.com/download.html. The purchase price is $49.99.

About QASymphony
QASymphony is a software company built to revolutionize how software is tested, adopted, and supported. We are an early stage, self-funded, software loving team, united by a common belief that software could be better. For more information, visit http://www.qasymphony.com.

About GuardTime
GuardTime was founded with the goal of solving one of the biggest problems in computing: how to be sure electronic data is authentic.

GuardTime's Keyless Signatures provide proof of origin and that not a single bit of the data has changed since a specific point in time. The verification of the signatures can be done offline without reliance on keys, secrets, or the existence of a trusted third party. GuardTime's mission is to change the world to one where Keyless Signatures are ubiquitous and a natural part of the everyday data lifecycle, whether on disk, in transit, or in the Cloud. The company was recently selected as co-winner of the Innotribe $100K Start-Up Challenge, honoring the company as one of the world's most promising financial technology start-ups.

GuardTime, today announced that the Estonia Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications signed a memorandum of co-operation, according to which Estonia will start looking for opportunities to implement digital signatures in e-state information systems.

Tallinn, Estonia -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2011 -- GuardTime ( http://www.guardtime.com ) creator of the Keyless Signature technology used to provide indisputable proof of time, origin, and integrity for electronic data, today announced that the Estonia Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications signed a memorandum of co-operation, according to which Estonia will start looking for opportunities to implement digital signatures in e-state information systems.

"GuardTime's technology allows documents to be signed easily and securely, making forgeries and changing an already signed document without the signer's consent impossible," said the Estonian Minister of Economic Affairs and Communications Juhan Parts. "Estonia's ambition is to be the most secure e-states in the world and GuardTime provides significant alternatives in the realization of Estonian public sector security measures," Parts added.

The digital timestamp technology was developed by Estonian scientists AhtoBuldas and MaertSaarepera. GuardTime ( http://www.guardtime.com ) provides a mathematically based digital signature service that proves authenticity of documents and data. GuardTime's technology is already used by companies both in and outside of Estonia, but Estonia is progressive with its information technology and is the first country in the world to adopt Keyless Signatures in the public sector.

According to GuardTime Estonia ( http://www.guardtime.com ) CEO Raul Vahisalu, cracking digital timestamps is mathematically impossible and signatures cannot be forged or changed without the author's consent. "These reasons make it a perfect data protection solution for countries, which have to keep their data secured on one hand, but also make it accessible to citizens. We are very keen to start co-operation," said Vahisalu.

The first Estonian public sector organization working on implementing GuardTime's signature is the National Archive of Estonia. "For long-term storage, ensuring authenticity is one of the key issues," said LauriLeht, head of the National Archive's digital preservation bureau. "Implementing timestamps for digitized documents coming into the archive and signing internal materials gives an objective proof that the files have not been changed by unauthorized users," added Leht.

GuardTime's digital signature ( http://www.guardtime.com ) can be verified by a code published in the Financial Times that contains a hash value, date and time record. In Estonia, GuardTime's technology has already been adopted by SEB Bank.

GuardTime's founders invented an algorithm that mathematically proves the time, location and integrity of electronic data at rest and in motion. GuardTime's Keyless Signatures ( http://www.guardtime.com ) enable enterprises to switch to a cloud compute model with confidence, maintaining an independent audit trail of all data and related activities while complying with regulatory and legal admissibility requirements.

First of its kind, WebView3D can visualize volumetric data.

Berlin, Germany -- (SBWIRE) --12/20/2011 -- Arivis ( http://www.arivis.com ), the leading provider of software for the visualization and analysis of high-dimensional image data of almost unlimited size, today announced beta version of WebView 3.0 with 3D rendering.

WebView3D ( http://webview3d.arivis.com ) is a new SaaS-based tool that allows users to view, manipulate, annotate and collaborate on multi-gigapixel images and render 3D image stacks using popular and common Internet browsers. WebView 3D is part of ArivisWebView, a modular framework for image visualization and annotation on the Internet.

In short, WebView3D visualizes volumetric data. For example, in a life sciences or medical application WebView3D could be used to show large computer tomography scans over the web.

"The idea behind WebView3D is to allow for the easy sharing and manipulation of volumetric data and large 3D images such as those generated by microscopical or X-ray computed tomography, or industrial CT scanning, for example," says Arivis founder Christian Goetze. "Size is never an issue. Our products incorporate, combine, manage, visualize, and analyze image data, independent from its origin, dimensionality and dimension."

WebView3D ( http://webview3d.arivis.com/ ) takes advantage of the platform-independent WebGL interface based on OpenGL standards and freely available on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, and the open source Opera browser. WebView3D support for Microsoft Explorer is forthcoming. (No plug-ins necessary.)

The ArivisWebView framework ( http://www.arivis.com ) also provides a layer of collaboration tools such as marking annotations directly on regions of interest, editorial tracking by author, time and date stamping, and archiving. For example, Boston doctors can share virtual pathological slides from a cancer patient and get a second opinion by specialists from Berlin without having to download or upload the massive file locally.

Although WebView3D can be used for sharing and viewing 3D images in life sciences, neuroscience, and biotechnology, its applications are not limited strictly to applied sciences.

Using the new WebGL technology, WebView3D can render interactive 3D data quickly and at high resolution quality in standard web browsers. Being a standard compliant solution, the 3D technology can be implemented in any web application and interact with existing systems or used in third-party applications.

WebView3D will be available as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model, or sold as server software. The beta version can be demoed by visiting: http://webview3d.arivis.com/.

About Arivis
With offices in Berlin, Germany and Seattle, Arivis products incorporate, combine, manage, visualize, and analyze image data, independent from its origin, dimensionality and dimension. Its software solutions are designed to give users fast and easy access on any pixel images from scientific sources as microscopes and computer tomographs (CT). The company provides modular software systems for scientific image processing and image analysis, finding solutions for a cost-effective and time-efficient processing of nearly indefinitely large, complex image data and in cases where conventional software fails because of excessively large image data.

eGestalt Technologies, announced HI-SCAN, a quick and inexpensive way for healthcare service providers to quickly identify and manage high-risk medical practices and business associates that are short on fulfilling HIPAA/HITECH compliance requirements.

Santa Clara, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/15/2011 -- eGestalt Technologies ( http://www.eGestalt.com ), a leading provider of cloud-based, SaaS-delivered, security and IT governance, risk management and compliance solutions for SMBs to enterprises, announced HI-SCAN, a quick and inexpensive way for healthcare service providers to quickly identify and manage high-risk medical practices and business associates that are short on fulfilling HIPAA/HITECH compliance requirements.The HI-SCAN tool can be used by both medical providers and theirmany business associates - contractors, hazardous waste collectors, blood work laboratories, et. al. -that serve covered entities on a daily basis.

Says eGestalt President Anupam Sahai, "There are some 3 million medical providers and business associates who can use HI-SCAN to snap a valuable audit/assessment picture; to understand high-risk problem areas that need immediate attention in order to comply with HIPAA/HITECH and avoid being sacked by fines."

HI-SCAN is a low-cost self-assessment tool that can be added on to the base SecureGRC solution which can be used to e-mail a short questionnaire of 20+ critical requirements to flag areas of non-compliance. It helps medical practices gain control and improve more than 200+ HIPAA/HITECH compliance points, before they are flagged as serious problems.

Based on its results, users can quickly identify and prioritize the problem areas that need to be escalated. Given that medium to large covered entities deal with about 100+ BAs in the course of running their business, HI-SCAN is a quick solution for generating a quick audit/assessment, alerting both the CE and BA of problem areas in fulfilling their mandatory HIPAA compliance ( http://www.egestalt.com ) requirements and focus on the high-risk associates and consultants who need immediate attention.

"A critical aspect of doing business within the Healthcare community, and as required by HIPAA/HITECH, is anyone who has access to PHI, is bound by the same regulations as the customers they serve," added Sahai. "And the penalties for non-compliance are getting stiffer. It is no longer a paltry $100 as the fines have been raised to a maximum of $50,000.And if it is proven that you are willfully neglectful, the fines can increase from $25,000 to $1.5 million with criminal penalties."

Healthcare data breaches have affected nearly 11.6 million individuals, out of which 6 million records were irresponsibly handled by BAs. The average number of individuals per breach through the BA was 102,678. [Source: HHS]. http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/administrative/breachnotificationrule/postedbreaches.html

The Federal government has set aside $20 billion for upgrading the healthcare IT infrastructure by the year 2014 - spelling a huge upside for the channel. Service providers can pursue federal 'meaningful use' dollars to the tune of $40,000 per qualified physician practice. SecureGRC generates the necessary reports for proving compliance.

eGestalt's channel strategy involves the certification of Managed Compliance Providers (MCPs), a channel program based around a proprietary "cookbook" that serves as an introduction and training guide for partners just getting started with delivering managed compliance services.

Enter NetGenie, a Wi-Fi router for the home that plugs directly into the cable modem and which also offers security protection from invasive malware and viruses.

Edison, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/04/2011 -- With kids and teens doing more and more of their Internet browsing on smartphones and tablets like the iPad, a software-based approach to monitoring and blocking Internet access to adult content or age-inappropriate websites will no longer work.

Enter NetGenie (http://www.netgenie.net), a Wi-Fi router for the home that plugs directly into the cable modem and which also offers security protection from invasive malware and viruses.

Developed by 12-year Internet security veteran Cyberoam, NetGenie is the first Wi-Fi router that comes pre-configured with parental controls and anti-virus.

NetGenie parental controls provide default settings according to age group, blocking websites and applications deemed inappropriate, yet allowing the administrator (mom or dad) to grant permissions by adding to a whitelist of allowed sites.

NetGenie offers parents a smart way for dealing with unruly Internet access and distractions, especially during homework time. Being a Wi-Fi router that plugs directly into the home's cable modem, the device can control access to smartphones, gaming consoles and popular tablets such as the iPad and Android tablets.

Any device connected to the home's Wi-Fi signal can be managed.

For example, parents can suspend Internet access per individual for an allocated date or block of time, say from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm Monday through Thursday, allowing free access Friday to Sunday if they so choose to.

NetGenie (http://www.netgenie.net) is also equipped with Internet security safeguards including a firewall, anti-virus protection, and intrusion prevention.

"We designed NetGenie to make it simple for families to protect their kids from unsafe and adult Internet content, and to control the time they spend online on social networks, shopping or gaming sites, or anything else you want to manage," said Jacob Thankachen, Associate Vice President for Americas, Cyberoam. "We also made it a no-brainer to keep hackers, viruses and other intruders at bay when your family surfs the Internet."

Additionally, the device can generate reports on Internet activities such as websites visited, applications used, attempts made to visit blocked websites or applications, along with virus and intrusion reports.

NetGenie can be configured using any Internet-access device in the home. Settings for individual members of the family can be made.

Hudson, NH -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/04/2011 -- According to a recent Symantec blog, attackers are targeting SMBs at a greater rate than larger companies of more than 500 people. Some other interesting facts from Symantec's cloud research:

"The percentage of employees who received a targeted Trojan during 2010 was much higher for the SMB sector than for large companies. One small business, in particular, had targeted Trojans sent to all 488 of their employees. SMB industry sectors such as mineral/fuel, non-profit, engineering, marketing and recreation received the most attacks compared with other industry sectors, showing that they are at higher risk. They also found that attackers target intellectual property and market-leading research - focusing their efforts on education and market research organizations, in particular."

Commtouch, a provider of antivirus technology to industry, is indicating in its blog that targeted emails with malicious attachments have increased dramatically since August to two billion or more per day. These are not emails with links to bogus or malicious websites, but attachments that may look like normal document files typical in business. These attacks are not spam but something far more sinister.

These targeted attacks are aimed at specific individuals in specific organizations, contain embedded malware, and are designed largely to capture credentials and gain access to valuable data. Much of this targeted email with malicious attachments bypasses antivirus and gateway protections. It lands squarely in a target's inbox as legitimate email. The embedded malware is designed to be unique and unknown to anti-virus and anti-malware.

If you find yourself reading an email with an attachment that seems to be legitimate, think twice, it may not be. A targeted email attack often uses information about you to gain your trust. It will seem like a normal email.

So what do you do? Symantec's blogger suggests that you "use common sense" and "be smart." Your business associates send you data files that you open all of the time. The attacker will pose as one of them, but will bury a program inside. You can't possibly know for sure, regardless of how much common sense you apply.

The new SavantEnforcer (http://www.savantprotection.com) client will block malicious attachments automatically because it denies by default any unknown executable. It's a simple and powerful antidote for the avalanche of targeted malware and it can be installed on a computer for about a dollar per month. Should you use common sense, good security practices and keep your software protection up to date? Of course you should. But you may also want to consider a solution that gives you the confidence to open an attachment without the risk of compromise.

About Savant Protection
Savant Protection is a leading privately held vendor of innovative application whitelisting solutions that fill major gaps in the functionality of other endpoint security and management products and provide significant operational and financial benefits to customers. The company's solutions are easy to integrate with existing systems, are not dependent on a central whitelist database, and can stop zero-day attacks and address the increasing inability of existing endpoint solutions, such as signature-based anti-virus products, to effectively protect against the growing proliferation of sophisticated, targeted malware.Savant Protection's customers are able to lower costs and increase their organization's productivity by minimizing endpoint incidents that require remediation and cause unproductive downtime for users. Savant Protection is headquartered in Hudson, New Hampshire, USA. http://www.SavantProtection.com

Truly paperless, fully auditable, all cloud.

Singapore -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/23/2011 -- GuardTime ( http://www.guardtime.com ), creator of the patented Keyless Signature technology used to provide indisputable proof of time, origin, and integrity for electronic information, today announced that its Keyless Signatures will be adopted by ARKIBIZ, a leader in cloud-based information management solutions aimed at providing proof of data and transaction integrity for e-documents and records management.

Up to 80% of today's business information is created and managed in unstructured form; it is expected to rise to 90% or more in the coming years. According to recent IDC estimates, every 5.5 years ofdata managed by enterprises will grow by a factor of 10.According to collaborative research conducted by NetApp and marketing research firm ACNielsen, ERP, CRM, and corporate emails are the leading causes of this massive growth in data, where roughly 62% of the total enterprise data is affected.

Document and records management solutions have become an essential part of the everyday IT infrastructure. However, not all organizations can invest in enterprise-level solutions such as those from vendors like IBM, Oracle, and EMC. The Ebikko solution from ARKIBIZ is a cloud-based, full multi-tenant EDRMS solution with a highly-customizable workflow module. The rich functionalities of the EDRMS are accessed seamlessly through a web browser on the desktop without the user ever having to install any software.

GuardTime's Keyless Signature (http://www.guardtime.com) technology is used by ARKIBIZ to sign the records and archived files managed by the ARKIBIZ EDRMS solution. This provides consumers with undeniable proof of authenticity and integrity of both the process and the data. Having audit-ready, independently-verifiable data that captures all transactions and documents solves a variety of compliance issues and a host of potentially business-damaging disputes otherwise left to trust. By converting trust to proof, companies can also reduce their dependency on paper-based transactions while improving overall productivity across their entire document workflow process.

"GuardTime's innovative technology (http://www.guardtime.com) changes the game for the EDRMS market," said Steve Kucia, Director of Global Sales and Marketing, ARKIBIZ. "With the integration of Keyless Signatures in our offering, our customers gain proof of authenticity for their data and surrounding workflow, regardless of the information being stored on their disks, crossing the wire, or hosted in the cloud."

"Technologies brought to market prior to GuardTime's patented Keyless Signatures have failed to deliver simple and lasting solutions for digital data integrity," said Mike Gault, GuardTime CEO. "There has been an unacceptable amount of reliance on the various layers of security designed to 'trust' the data. This issue of trust is totally exposed in the cloud, where the data itself needs to carry with it the proof of time, integrity and origin. With GuardTime's Keyless Signature Service ( http://www.guardtime.com ), an organization's most valuable digital assets are assured with provable integrity regardless of where they are stored, who needs to verify them, and when."

This announcement follows a string of similar partner integration deals that include such companies as Japan's Brother Industries, web-hosting provider Joyent, whose customers include Twitter and LinkedIn, and cloud-based eDiscovery service provider, Cernam.

GuardTime, today announced that SEB Estonia, a member of the international SEB Group,has selected the Keyless Signature Service for assuring the integrity for all of their electronic banking transactions, providing customers with indisputable proof that the bank’s assets are protected against insider attacks, external breaches and fraud.

Singapore, -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2011 -- GuardTime ( http://www.guardtime.com ),creator of the patented Keyless Signature technology used to convert the trust relationship between business operations and data to one based on proof, today announced that SEB Estonia, a member of the international SEB Group, has selected the Keyless Signature Service for assuring the integrity for all of their electronic banking transactions, providing customers with indisputable proof that the bank's assets are protected against insider attacks, external breaches and fraud.

Ninety-eight percent of all banking transactions at SEB Estonia are carried out electronically; at an ATM, online via the web, or through a mobile device. By signing their banking transaction logs using the GuardTime Keyless Signature Service, ( http://www.guardtime.com ) SEB Estonia can be assured that attacks against, and the misuse of, their systems and data becomes impossible to conceal.

"With GuardTime's unique Keyless Signatures service, we are now able to independently prove the time, origin and content for all of our electronic banking transactions," said Kaido Raiend, Head of IT Security Analysis for SEB Estonia. "As tampered data becomes mathematically-capable to detect, we have the legal proof necessary to confirm that the transactions were conducted and recorded at the times specified and that they remain intact and accurate" even if GuardTime ever ceased to exist."

GuardTime's Keyless Signatures ( http://www.guardtime.com ) are stored and archived with each and every SEB Estonia transaction log, providing SEB Estonia proof of time and integrity for the life of their data. As the signatures do not use any public/private encryption keys for long-term verification, the proof will never expire. The signatures are portable, thereby enabling SEBE stonia to electronically archive their signed logs without loss of legal strength; this substantially reduces the bank's risk as well as their overall paper-based and digital archiving costs.

Around the globe, financial institutions, hardware manufacturers, Telco operators, cloud service providers, legal entities, and insurance companies are using the GuardTime ( http://www.guardtime.com ) service to make the electronic world a safer place; a world based on proof rather than trust.

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/25/2011 -- When Carl Johnson got the call about his daughter's car accident, he rushed to the emergency room. After consulting with doctors, he made calls to his wife and family members. He was in the middle of giving an update on his daughter's condition when his smartphone's battery died.

This incident was the inspiration for founding VoltUp ( http://www.volt-up.com ) last year, a Boston-based start-up headed by Joseph "Yossi" Weihs, an embedded devices engineer and a 20-year tech veteran.

"Smartphones that carry the Google Android platform can rest assured their phones will not fail them when they need them most," said Weihs, "Of course we can't make the battery last forever, but in most cases we can double battery life, which can make all the difference, especially during emergencies."

A simple mobile phone (tongue in cheek "dumb" phone) can last two weeks on a single battery charge. But most smartphones are stacked with power-hungry applications that typically drain batteries in less than eight hours.

Volt-Up's patent-pending technology controls how a device's many radios - 2G/3G/4G, WiFi, FM, GPS, Bluetooth - are managed. PowerMax by VoltUp puts these radios to sleep when the user wants to trade functionality for battery life..

Limiting a cellphone's radio frequencies also bodes well for the controversy surrounding the use of cellphones causing brain tumors, although the National Cancer Institute found this link "inconclusive."

PowerMax by VoltUp analyzes personal usage patterns, essentially learning how the owner uses the phone. The app reads information on how fast the battery is discharging and lets users know how much battery power is being saved and used.

PowerMax by VoltUp offers a free version and can be downloaded from Android Market by clicking: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.voltup.powermax . A permanent license can be purchased once the free trial concludes. Over 300,000 copies of PowerMax have been installed (as reported by Flurry).

Research defines Virtual Data Rooms & Board of Directors Communications Systems.

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/25/2011 -- Brainloop (http://www.brainloop.com), a leading supplier of software solutions for high-security management of confidential documents, today announced that it was cited in two analyst reports published by the research firm Gartner, Inc.

Two reports published by the research firm Gartner point to cloud solutions for securing confidential documents.

One report, "Introduction to Virtual Data Rooms" (ID# G00211311), written by Gartner Analysts Jay Heiser and Jim Murphy, defines virtual data rooms (VDRs) as "a class of SaaS primarily used for financial investing communications, and also for life sciences, litigation and other sensitive external collaboration scenarios. Individuals looking for temporary or permanent mechanisms to support a highly controlled sharing of proprietary and regulated data outside of the enterprise should consider one of these services."

"We are honored to be included in these important Gartner research reports, as we believe they confirm our market approach to reducing information risk by means of a secure document compliance management solution," said Peter Weger, Brainloop CEO. (http://www.brainloop.com) "Companies need to become more aware of the indispensible boost to productivity, security and compliance that these solutions offer to organizations as they seek to better manage and secure their most confidential documents."

Brainloop has achieved much success, with its document security and compliance management solution being used by multinational companies for such applications as corporate development, contract management, financial reporting, boardroom meetings and other confidential communications.

Also published simultaneously with the VDR report and serving as a companion report, "Introduction to Board of Directors Communications Systems," (by Jay Heiser and Jim Murphy, Gartner ID# G00211442) cites key findings, recommendations and analysis on Board Communications Systems (BCSs).

Gartner defines board communications systems as applications that "simplify the task of creating and compiling hundreds of pages of documentary information into the quarterly board book, securely disseminating that material to board members. Any organization that is mailing out paper board books containing highly sensitive and topical information should consider portal-based solutions for efficiency and security reasons."

"Board communications systems (BCSs) are software as a service (SaaS)-based trusted portals that are used by public and private organizations to share board meeting material with internal and external board and committee members. Organizations with a board of directors should consider using one of these services."
