Office Password Unlocker 3.0 is released
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 28, 2009 – Office Password Unlocker 3.0 is released for users to access and modify Office documents quicker and more efficiently! It is fueled with three attacks brute-force attack, brute-force with mask attack and dictionary attack to enhance the function and is skinned with a brand-new look with clearer instructions to navigate users from the beginning to the end.
Engined with the three attacks, users will no longer feel helpless or no way out when facing a password-protected Word or Excel. Generally, the files password-protected are secret, confidential or at least unwilling to let others see. However, embarrassed situations always come into being for the memory doesn’t serve you well or the password-list is un-intentionally destroyed, etc. With the three attacks, brute-force attack, brute-force with mask attack, and dictionary attack, restore or regain your password for the Word and Excel is as easy as a pie and fast in speed as well. If your memory refuses to offer any hints to you, then brute-force attack will help. If you still remember parts of your password or its features, like any capitals, digits, space, or punctuations in the password, the password length, the last character of the password and so on, it’s better to use brute-force with mask attack. Dictionary attack is more flexible and smarter, if you can offer a dictionary in a text file listing the possible character sets which you use frequently in your password for the program to base on. It will hugely reduce the detect scale for the program, which is bound to save time and increase efficiency. The advantage is apparent especially when the password is long and complex.
Brand-new look with clearer instructions to navigate users makes it easier to use than ever. Instead of fancy and stainless-steel UI design, this program is simple and classic. Instead of obscure terminological jargons scattering all over the UI, the program uses small words to describe the options. All in all, the program is to let users do the job in a more used way.
The program supports MS Word and Excel through all the versions to 2003. With it, there does be a way to open the document!

Engined with the three attacks, users will no longer feel helpless or no way out when facing a password-protected Word or Excel. Generally, the files password-protected are secret, confidential or at least unwilling to let others see. However, embarrassed situations always come into being for the memory doesn’t serve you well or the password-list is un-intentionally destroyed, etc. With the three attacks, brute-force attack, brute-force with mask attack, and dictionary attack, restore or regain your password for the Word and Excel is as easy as a pie and fast in speed as well. If your memory refuses to offer any hints to you, then brute-force attack will help. If you still remember parts of your password or its features, like any capitals, digits, space, or punctuations in the password, the password length, the last character of the password and so on, it’s better to use brute-force with mask attack. Dictionary attack is more flexible and smarter, if you can offer a dictionary in a text file listing the possible character sets which you use frequently in your password for the program to base on. It will hugely reduce the detect scale for the program, which is bound to save time and increase efficiency. The advantage is apparent especially when the password is long and complex.

Brazilian Criminal Investigators Benefit from Internet Evidence Collection Software
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 28, 2009 – Reno, NV – High-tech crimes investigators in Brazil now have easier access to WebCase, an Internet evidence collection solution. WebCase maker Vere Software has partnered with TechBiz Forense Digital, the premier provider of digital forensic solutions in Brazil.
Ranked 5th most affected by cybercrime worldwide in Symantec's recent report “title,” Brazil is home base for four percent of global malicious computer activity. (First-ranked United States accounts for 23 percent of such activity.) Brazil has the most spam zombies of all 20 countries on Symantec's list, and ranks 16th for both malicious code and phishing Web site hosts.
“Cybercrime is not just a 1st world problem,” said Todd Shipley, Vere Software president and CEO. “As the amount of cybercrime continues to increase around the world, law enforcement needs the tools to fight it. Companies like TechBiz are providing the tools necessary to get Brazilian law enforcement into the fight.”
Giovani Thibau, TechBiz Forense Digital business director, said: “Vere Software was the first company to be concerned about one of the most important issues involving cyber crimes: investigators' Internet browsing. For TechBiz Forense Digital, this is a very important part of an investigation, and it seems that Vere Software is on the right path: technically and in its relationship with the clients, partners and re-sellers.”

Joomla Scanner: An Innovative Way To Protect Your Website Against Hackers!
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 27, 2009 – Joomla is one of the most popular Open Source CMS systems commonly used by businesses to establish their online presence on the Internet. Unfortunately, without proper security checks and controls, these websites will most likely become vulnerable to hacker attacks. Small and midsize businesses used to withhold taking proper security precautions because they thought they were too small of a company to be targeted by hackers. However, small businesses now realize that they are just as vulnerable to worms, spam and other random cyber plagues as large enterprises.
According to 2008 Data Breach Investigations report by Verizon Business, most site attacks take almost little to no effort to break in. In fact, Verizon concludes that 3% require no special skills or resources and can be done by the average user; 52% require a low amount of skill set. "This is the reality. I am glad Verizon published these numbers, so that people are aware how easy it is to hack into a computer system. If you don't take any steps to secure your websites, you will eventually get compromised. You have the choice between guaranteed small loss and cost of prevention, versus a potentially large loss, which is a result of the breach.”, said Kozlowski.
TCO Topcodersonline, plans to release additional online scanners that help small businesses protect themselves against hackers. One such successful scanner is Powerfuzzer, which was featured as an effective and proven solution in the "Securing PHP Web Applications" book by Tricia Ballad and William Ballad Addison. It is listed on the NIST SAMATE project page. Kozlowski hopes that the scanners he provides will be an easy way for businesses to secure their website, since it does not require installing additional software and simulates a real life attack scenario that "bad guys" would typically perform. "These tools are not perfect. They are just tools. However, I am confident they will enhance your website security with the best ROI. Don't forget that security isn't a onetime thing, it's a continuous process." said Kozlowski.
TCO Topcodersonline scanners offer free scanning for non-profit organizations and educational facilities. Kozlowski hopes this is one way that he can give back to the community.

Business Survival Workshops Launch to Help Companies Comply with New Personal ID Security Law
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 24, 2009 – On August 4, 2009, the Boston Business Alliance, (www.BostonBusinessAlliance.com), will present urgent and important information about the new Massachusetts regulation that requires compliance by January 1, 2010.
The regulation is an outgrowth of numerous personal data breaches including the infamous TJX security breach.
While the regulations are especially important for medical firms and retailers, they apply to ANY business or organization that touches or retains any Massachusetts resident’s personal identity information. “This includes any electronic or paper records such as credit cards, Social Security numbers, bank accounts, drivers license numbers, or similar,” noted Ray Arpin, a Boston-area business process consultant and member of the sponsoring Boston Business Alliance.
“The new regulations are very technical and without a proper roadmap a business can soon find itself in deep trouble when there is a breach,” he added. Fines for non-compliance range from $5,000 to $50,000 per incident. TJX paid over $880,000 to one credit card company. “Many companies may not realize that a single security breach could put a company into bankruptcy at the worst and at the very least result in bad publicity hurting their bottom lines,” commented Len Bloomberg, principal with Blue Coast Consulting and member of the Boston Business Alliance.
The new regulations also require a formal written information security program with policies, processes and procedures that support compliance. “When the regulation says it applies to ‘any business’ it means just that,” noted Dennis Egan, an associate with Finnneran & Nicholson, a business law firm with offices in Newburyport and Boston, who will be a co-presenter for this breakfast program.
It includes retailers, any service business, professional practices, accountants, banks, financial institutions, and any individual or organization paid by credit cards or keeps this information stored either electronically or in hard copy. Attorney Egan added that this regulation goes beyond HIPPA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, and is an added requirement for medical practices.
This informational breakfast is designed to help business owners and managers outline a strategy to become compliant with the regulations and reduce risks to their organizations.
Participants in the program will be better prepared to answer the following:
• What would your business do without credit card processing systems that were shut down by order of the MA Office of Consumer Affairs or Attorney General?
• What would your business do if your customer/client data were compromised?
• Do you or your employees have access to personal client data?
• Do you have laptops that leave your premises?
• Have you considered the impact of violations and non-compliance to your professional malpractice premiums?
• Can your business survive the bad publicity of a single data breach?
Participants will also receive a complimentary One-Hour Personal Identity Security Audit along with a copy of “How to Guarantee Compliance by January 1, 2010” from the state’s Department of Consumer Affairs.
The Hot Business Topics Exchange will present an Informational Breakfast Meeting on the topic, Personal Identity Security, Are You Read for 1/1/2010?, 7:15-9:00 AM, at Medical City Conference Center, 800 W. Cummings Park, Suite 4750, Wobrun, MA.
For more information, check the website, www.BostonBusinessAlliance.com, for the agenda, speaker bios, and registration. Seating is limited to the first 50 registrants. For other questions, please call 617-435-1159 or 978-388-0020.

Senior Information Security Specialists Feeling the Pressure
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 24, 2009 – In its Interim Market Report, information security recruitment experts Barclay Simpson reviews the outlook for information security in the UK. Economic trends are analysed and market forces assessed to determine the employment prospects of those employed within the information security sector.
Owing to some rather high profile losses of sensitive data in 2008, information security has become a hot topic within the media. In addition, regulation in the form of the ISO 27001 and the PCI DSS standards have required companies to implement more thorough information security compliance procedures. However, despite the increased importance on data security and compliance there has not been a subsequent rise in new opportunities in 2009, and both employed and unemployed professionals within the industry, especially at senior levels, are currently feeling the pressure.
Information security redundancies have continued to grow over the last 6 months, and the number of professionals looking for work has increased by 17% over the last 12 months. Unfortunately the increased demand for roles has not been matched by their availability, with the number of new positions having fallen by 57% over the same time period. Hardest hit are senior practitioners. As business conditions force many companies to downsize existing teams or even undertake mergers to survive, the effects of cost cutting and headcount reduction has disproportionally affected senior and managerial positions. Junior roles are less affected, and practitioners at this level appear to be holding on to their current roles, reluctant to enter an unstable recruitment market or to risk moving to a new company.
Mark Ampleford, head of Barclay Simpson’s information security division says, “Information security, despite it’s current high profile , has not been protected from corporate cost cutting. Q1 and Q2 redundancy levels were high and whilst many departments have vacancies few have permission to recruit.”
To add further burden, employers are realising their strong bargaining position and are suppressing wage growth whilst at the same time being more demanding in their expectations. Senior practitioners are finding it increasingly difficult to find new employment and are being forced to be far more flexible in their salary expectations and preferred locations.

New novel has Shiloh 'walking the wire'
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 23, 2009 – Dawn breaks across the Illinois sky during the summer of 2009. It's 5 a.m. out in this prairie town and soon novelist D.L. Shiloh hits the computer to work on his second novel. It's as if he's making up for lost time. That's because Shiloh took 17 years to complete "Pookoo", a satire about celebrity obsession. The novel is now available at Amazon.com.
The new novel was started in May. "It (the new book) is 50% done. I know where it's going," Shiloh said.
The new book may be darker than "Pookoo," which is a feat since "Pookoo" is about unemployment, divorce, sex, suicide, friendship and a mascot named Lenny the Lobster. "The things I'm bringing up in this one have me walking the wire. It's dangerous territory. I like blurring the line of fact and fiction."
Shiloh can be followed on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/dlshiloh.

Impunity at the Freeport Gold & Copper Mine: Will Indonesian Security Forces Get Away with It Again?
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 22, 2009 – West Papua Advocacy Team Statement
Amidst an ongoing shooting spree at the Freeport McMoRan mining concession in Timika, West Papua, four people have died, including an Australian Freeport employee. Six separate ambushes have taken place since shootings began on July 11.
A race to find scapegoats appears underway. Indonesian authorities have arrested as many as 20 individuals. Trusted sources informed the West Papua Advocacy Team that these detainees have been interrogated without the presence of their lawyers and at least one, an elderly man, was beaten by security personnel. Even after these recent detentions, a convoy of 12 Freeport busses again came under attack by gunmen on Wednesday, 22 July.
This is just the latest chapter in the Freeport story in West Papua - a saga of violence, human rights violations and internationally condemned environmental destruction. For decades, in numerous well-documented cases, the Indonesian security forces and Freeport's own security personnel, have intimidated and repressed local Papuans through extrajudicial killings, torture, rape and other forms of violence and terror.
Indonesian security forces have long exploited the weakness of the Indonesian judicial system to avoid prosecution for criminal activity, including violations of human rights. Nowhere is this more true than in West Papua where the culture of repression lives on beyond former Army General and dictator Suharto’s 32-year rule, which ended formally in 1998. The principal victims have been ordinary Papuans, notably those living in the area of the giant Freeport McMoRan mining concession. Indonesian officials and the international community must act to ensure that the people of West Papua are not victimized yet again.
Initial Indonesian police reports suggest that those responsible for the recent attacks were "expert" shooters using weapons commonly found in military and police arsenals. Similar statements were made in 2002, when one Indonesian and two U.S. schoolteachers were killed on the same road. Ballistic evidence and eye-witness testimony pointed to an Indonesian military role in that ambush, but the Bush Administration and Indonesian officials, including recently re-elected President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, orchestrated a cover-up. An FBI investigation into the 2002 attack is still technically open. Recent history raises grave concerns about finding the truth about this latest incident. The military has joined the investigation into the latest attacks, making it likely the investigation will again fail to explore evidentiary lines leading to the Indonesian military.
Indonesia and those who lobby for its interests boast of that nation's democratic progress. This latest incident offers a test of that progress:
* the investigation of this incident must be transparent;
* the media and independent human rights investigators should be given access to West Papua and specifically the Freeport Concession;
* security forces which have long operated with impunity must be held accountable if evidence emerges implicating them.
* in the wake of this tragedy, the Papuan people must not again be subjected to retaliatory military/police action in the form of "sweeps" targeting innocent villagers in the area;
* the U.S. government and the international community must reject a military takeover of the investigation as well as efforts to stonewall independent investigators as happened in 2002;
* the U.S. should monitor developments closely to ensure that Indonesian forces do not use U.S. equipment in retaliatory "sweep" operations targeting innocent Papuan civilians as in the past (such sweeps, unrelated to the Freeport incidents, reportedly are already underway);
* and the Obama administration should focus renewed attention on an open FBI investigation into the killing of the two U.S. schoolteachers in 2002, following up on published accounts of military involvement in those murders.

PervCom launches Active RFID and Infrared Sensor based Surveillance & Perimeter Security Solution

Traditional mechanism of securing enterprises with concrete or barbed wire fencing and security checks at specific point of entry can by no means ensure complete security; as these mechanisms are not proactive and pervasive to detect breach. Even CCTV based monitoring requires personal attention to detect the presence of threat. All these mechanism are severely human dependent and thus error prone. How do you detect suspicious behavior of visitors or external vehicles once they enter the enterprise premises? How do you know if your security guards are placed in proper locations all the time? These eternal security loop holes get exploited very often.
PervCom’s real time wireless locating system integrated with infrared sensor based perimeter security solution is designed to address these problems effectively and proactively.

PervCom’s Wireless Infrared Intrusion Detection (WIID) system automatically detects any attempt of physical intrusion in the organization premise breaking the perimeter security. The system sends real-time alert wirelessly to the central security office along with the location details of the event for immediate actions.
Patrolling security personnel can also be tracked with PervCom’s wireless RTLS solution; where wireless tags will be allocated to each security personnel and their real time location can be monitored from the remote security office and the security personnel can also be alerted to attend to any emergency situation.
Another important aspect of security is tracking the visitors and vehicles about their location once they enter the enterprise premise. Using PervCom’s security solution, each visitor and vehicle will be issued an active RFID tag which will communicate its real time location to a remote control station wirelessly. Any abnormal behavior, such as entering a restricted zone or unusually long stay at any location or unusual movement pattern, will be detected immediately and automated alarm will be generated to the concerned person.
PervCom Consulting is capable of providing customized wireless security solutions for defense sites, airports, naval bases, nuclear sites, big public buildings, large enterprises, amusement parks, shopping malls, manufacturing facilities etc.
Commenting on the usefulness of these comprehensive security solutions, Dr. Somprakash Bandyopadhyay, founder-director of the company, has said, “ The massive surge in the security awareness and need in recent times demands these kind of holistic security solutions, which are devoid of human error and generate automated proactive alarms”.

PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 19, 2009 – Over-watch maritime security has today anounced it's state of the art airborne security services and security operatives will be available to all shipping companies thoughout the gulf of aden and the surrounding areas.

Over-Watch aircraft will fly a search pattern over your vessel’s predetermined route and will continually repeat this pattern until you have safely passed through the danger area. Your vessel will then be met on its return journey and the whole process will be repeated until you have once again safely passed through.
Over-watch are also supplying on-board security operatives Over-watch only use marine trained personnel, including ex-British Royal Marines and ex-United States Marine Corps; using only this calibre of personnel ensures that their protection teams are specifically trained to work in the maritime security sector and on-board ship.

TrakLok innovation offers secure and visible tracking of shipments across US-Mexico border
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 17, 2009 – Multiple companies support first international test
Knoxville, TN—TrakLokTM Corporation (TrakLok) successfully completed its first international test of its GeoLokTM locking and tracking solution for shipping containers. Along with Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCS), Kansas City SmartPort, Inc., and EDS Systems, Inc., TrakLok Corporation successfully tracked a shipment containing Samsung electronics from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, to Charlotte, North Carolina. The shipment crossed the US-Mexican border at Laredo, Texas. The GeoLokTM system transmitted the position and condition of the container continuously throughout the entire transit, even in areas of no cellular coverage. Stakeholders were also successfully able to view the information through TrakLok Corporation’s web portal, TrakLogTM.
By employing the TrakLok solution, KCS will address the issue of increasing cargo theft in Mexico. “We are thrilled to be working with a visionary company like KCS” said TrakLok’s CEO, Eric Dobson.
According to a report from Latin Business Chronicle, cargo theft in Mexico “has taken on new and more sophisticated patterns” as the “nexus between organized crime and the drug trade continues to expand.” With this increased theft comes increased cost.
According to the Mexican Association of Insurance Companies, insurance premiums increased by almost $1 million last year for policies covering material damages and cargo theft. The introduction of TrakLok’s security and visibility solution stands to significantly reduce this risk.
TrakLok Corporation is commercializing a combined container locking and tracking solution. With the GeoLokTM, only an authorized person at the right time and place can access the contents of the container. This solution provides real-time information about the condition and location of high valuable cargo and provides a means of securing entry to the container in order to reduce losses and enables better utilization decisions. The GeoLokTM solution provides physical security and container/cargo tracking throughout the entire supply chain with road, rail, and marine segments all interacting fluidly throughout the full life-cycle of a container shipment.
“TrakLok offers a unique and proven system for tracking and securing international cargo” said Chris Gutierrez, President of Kansas City SmartPort. “We were pleased to work with the team on this test and on future integration with SmartPort’s Trade Data Exchange.”
Asset visibility information provided through the TrakLogTM can be used in Transportation Management Systems to increase efficiency in shipping and supply chains. The GeoLokTM system provides information on idle containers that can put into use, if a shipment is ahead or behind schedule, if a container has deviated from its predetermined course or if a shipment needs to be triaged and unloaded quickly. It also can give information on the condition of the shipment itself by communicating with sensors that detect temperature, humidity, light, even spoilage.
TrakLok has integrated physical security technologies with several wireless technologies to track containers globally, and has developed a web accessible information-technology based global tracking system. The information provided by the GeoLokTM is accessible through TrakLogTM where users can obtain the location and condition information of a given container from any computer or web enabled device. TrakLogTM solves problems for companies managing cargo and containers in the supply chain including asset security, asset visibility, condition and inventory monitoring, and asset utilization with an audit trail.
“I have worked with many technology applications and devices. TrakLok is by far the most impressive option I have seen offering an integrated solution of tamper indicative robust barrier seal with GPS monitoring. Kansas City Southern de Mexico will be deploying this device with many customers” said Jim Kniestedt, Head of Security, KCS.

The Lowdown On Food Storage
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 16, 2009 – Let’s talk about food storage. There’s probably not much else on this planet that would give you more peace of mind than having an adequate emergency supply of food. How much should you have? Good question. Three months would be nice. Six months would be great. One year would be spectacular.
We know the idea of putting together quantities of food like this can be overwhelming. Don’t try to do it all at once. First build up a one week supply, then expand it to one month. After that, push it out to three months and further if you find yourself motivated to do so. Remember – baby steps!
The tricky part is figuring just how much food you need, especially if you’re not used to thinking like this. Click HERE to input your number of family members. It will tell you how much food you need to survive on your own for an entire year. There are some pretty intimidating numbers when you have a family of five. Here’s what the calculator says for that number of people:
• 1500 lbs of grains
• 300 lbs of sugars (honey, jams, molasses, etc)
• 65 lbs of fat (peanut butter, mayo, butter, salad dressings, etc)
• 375 lbs dairy
• 300 lbs of legumes
• 40 lbs cooking essentials (baking powder, salt, baking soda, etc)
• 70 gallons water
• 5 gallons bleach
Don’t panic! You don’t have to do this all at once. Divide these numbers by four if you want to get begin with a three month supply. If even that’s a scary thought, divide by 52 and get a single week’s supply stored away.
That’s a start!

The discussion was moderated by Frank Cilluffo, Director, Homeland Security Policy Institute; and Stephen Carmel, HSPI Senior Fellow, and Senior Vice President, Maersk Line, Limited.
Mr. Cilluffo opened the event noting that the issue of East African piracy is not “fully recognized for its many moving parts” nor is it something likely to be effectively addressed through an “anti-piracy approach alone.” Three specific issues dominated the discussion – Somalia’s status as a failed state, the economic costs and magnitude of the threat posed by East African pirates, and the need to better conceptualize and articulate this issue’s connection to US national interests.
Each of these issues elicited spirited debate. Ambassador Shinn noted that “the failed state of Somalia is the basic reason you have a problem with piracy.” However, General Kimmitt argued, “we can’t wait the twenty years it would take to fix Somalia as a country.” Concerning the magnitude of the threat, Dr. Murphy posited that the effect on international trade was small stating that “financial charges for ships transiting risk areas are somewhat higher, but compared to the volume of international trade, the losses, and the direct losses to ransom payments, amount to little more than a rounding error.” For the panelists, this did not mean the US and the international community should forgo a response. In attempting to devise a policy response, Mr. Carmel stated that the “real question is one of what are our national interests?” He suggested that based on a pure cost-benefit analysis, the U.S. response had thus far been exaggerated – “attacks on the Alabama did not change the facts, simply US perceptions of the problem.”
Whether or not linkages exist between Somali-based pirates and Islamist groups, such as al Shabaab, divided the expert panel more than any other topic. Citing an October 2008 study, Ambassador Shinn expressed concern about the potential that linkages already present, such as pirates supplying weapons to Islamists, may increase. The other panelists remained skeptical. For his part, Mr. Cilluffo warned of the need to be mindful of the role played by strategic communications and to watch for the trigger points that might push a nexus between pirates and Islamists.

BMC Software positioned in Gartner's Magic Quadrant
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 15, 2009 – “We are thrilled with BMC’s performance to date,” says Gray Farrell, Blue Turtle Technologies Executive for Datacenter Solutions. “Our company is committed to sourcing best-in-class vendors, without compromise, to ensure that our clients receive only the finest solutions available. The recognition bestowed upon BMC reaffirms Blue Turtle’s continuing ability to provide these solutions.”
Playing a key role in BMC’s Business Service Management (BSM) strategy, BMC’s CONTROL-M workload automation solution allows customers to automate the execution of processes across the enterprise which is critical to achieving an IT cost reduction. The solution minimises errors and gives IT a higher level of control and flexibility over their batch jobs, which are increasingly integrated with business services and online processing. As stated within the report, “Gartner inquiries reflect that 70 percent of business processes are performed in batch, rather than real-time.” With batch processing becoming a key component to delivering critical business services, CONTROL-M helps meet the business goals of companies around the world.
According to Gartner, vendors positioned in the Leaders Quadrant have a large, satisfied installed base and a high degree of visibility in the market. They offer robust, highly scalable applications, and have the strategic vision to address evolving enterprise requirements.
“We believe this report positions BMC extremely well as a clear leader in the space, especially considering that CONTROL-M is the only solution of its kind positioned in the leader quadrant,” continues Farrell. “The scope and complexity of workload management is growing at pace – to the extent that the inability to accurately understand processes can have a real impact on business operations. From timely delivery of goods, to accurate processing of orders, and onto financial transactions, companies across industries are turning to BMC and CONTROL-M to help them manage their critical IT business processes.”
BMC’s newest release of CONTROL-M with Workload Lifecycle Management simplifies enterprise job scheduling and improves service to the end-user, while reducing costs. The solution helps customers manage numerous workloads across a variety of IT environments. CONTROL-M further sharpens BMC’s edge over competitors and strengthens its leadership in IT Workload Automation and BSM.
Blue Turtle Technologies provides and supports best-in-class software solutions that optimise, enhance and leverage existing IT investment and assist in the cost-effective delivery of new technology. The company offers an extensive product range, sourced through its strategic partnerships with leading local and international software providers, augmented by best-practice implementation services.

Zenoss Enterprise Enters into NIAP Evaluation for Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) Certification
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 14, 2009 – Annapolis, MD - Zenoss Inc., provider of the next generation alternative to legacy enterprise IT operations management solutions, today announced that Zenoss Enterprise has entered into the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) evaluation for Common Criteria (ISO/IEC 15408) certification. Common Criteria is an internationally recognized standard that provides a broad range of evaluation criteria for commercial and nationally sensitive government-use IT security products.
Zenoss Enterprise enables organizations to seamlessly manage physical and virtual environments with unprecedented power, agility and value. Leveraging a commercial open source model, the solution provides enterprises the ability to break free of legacy complex and fragmented solutions offered by “the Big 4” at a fraction of their cost. Built as a singular, model-based product, Zenoss Enterprise contains rich functionality for both network and server monitoring including native VMware monitoring across the full virtualization infrastructure lifecycle.
To be considered “in evaluation,” products must currently be undergoing evaluation in the United States with a NIAP-approved Common Criteria Testing Laboratory (CCTL). Zenoss is working with CygnaCom Solutions, Inc. to conduct evaluation and testing. Upon successful completion, Zenoss Enterprise will meet the Common Criteria for Information Technology Security at Evaluation Assurance Level 2 (EAL2). DoD and Intelligence Community consumers may be able to purchase this product according to NSTISSP #11 and DoD 8500 acquisition policies.
“Zenoss realizes that our customers, especially those in government, want and in some cases require third-party validation of the effectiveness of our products,” said Erik Dahl, CTO and co-founder of Zenoss. “We look forward to working with CygnaCom to complete the certification process.”
CygnaCom’s Common Criteria Testing Laboratory (CCTL) is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Assessment Program (NVLAP) and approved by the NIAP. The CygnaCom SEL performs Common Criteria evaluations in accordance with the NIAP Common Criteria Evaluation and Validation Scheme (CCEVS).

Altec Systems, Inc. Receives Another Warm Testimonial As Surprised Crooks Leave Stolen Truck Behind
PRLog (Press Release) –
Jul 14, 2009 – Altec Systems, Inc. received this testimonial following a recent thwarted burglary attempt at at Roofing & Insulation Supply of Smyrna, Ga.:
Regional Vice President & General Manager, Paul D. Smith, of Roofing & Insulation Supply was pleased when his security system returned his investment and saved him thousands within just a few weeks’ time.
Roofing & Insulation Supply is a well-known regional wholesale distributor of roofing, insulation, sheathing and related materials with 20 locations across the country. This particular Smyrna, Georgia location had been “stung” a few weeks earlier to the tune of $23,000 worth of stolen shingles filling 26 pallets.
Paul fully expected that this incident was not a “one-time” occurrence, and started planning for the probable return of the intruders.
After experiencing some “luke-warm” response from his current security vendor, Paul did a Google™ search and found Altec Systems, Inc., in Marietta, Georgia and gave them a call. Altec Systems introduced RIS to one of their newest solution offerings called Videofied™.
The Videofied™ wireless system works with cellular communication, and requires no lighting or A.C. power. “Altec overnighted the first three systems to me…pretty impressive,” noted Paul.
Soon, Paul began receiving a few e-mail alerts to his Blackberry™. With the Videofied™ system, the central station verifies each alarm. This ensures that police are notified only of actual intrusions, and not for minor, random activities like wandering cats or moving branches, which can otherwise be common causes of false alarms and unwarranted police dispatches.
Just a few short weeks later, Paul received the alert he was expecting. At 11:14 p.m., the central station was already verifying the video clip and dispatching the police. They had confirmed an intruder on site at his truck court area.
The Videofied™ system recorded the clip of an intruder attempting to open the gate to allow easy access to the materials on the truck. The system’s sirens scared the “would-be” thieves into the woods, leaving behind a previously stolen trailer which was sitting “ready and waiting” to take RIS’s material with them.
“This is organized crime – they know what they are doing and how to get in and out. The best news is that the word is out…don’t go to RIS; they have a system you can’t beat. Stay away!” Paul shared.
Although the intruders are still at large, RIS is more confident that their premises are not likely to be seen as an on-going “target” for these thieves. Even if the intruders return, they won’t be there long enough to be able to do any real harm. As the sirens ring, their surprised faces are being caught on video and police are promptly dispatched.
“It’s rare when all of your expectations are met,” commented Paul on the overall satisfaction with Altec Systems’ response and installation. “Your technician, Austin, even offered to cut back a few tree branches for us when they were swaying near our cameras.”
“Helping clients like Paul address situations just like this is what makes the security business so rewarding for us. We’re not satisfied until we know our clients are confident that their premises are safe and secure,” shared Tim Feury, Altec Systems, Inc., president.
