  • Varonis DatAdvantage Gives Rabobank Full Control Over Data Access and Permissions; Enables Regulatory Compliance

    Published: Thursday, November 12, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswire

    NEW YORK, Nov. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS), the leading provider of software solutions for unstructured, human-generated enterprise data, today detailed how its DatAdvantage for Windows and DatAdvantage for SharePoint solutions help Rabobank, a Dutch multinational banking and financial services company headquartered in Utrecht, the Netherlands, control its data access and permissions and enable regulatory compliance.

    Full Visibility into Data Ownership, Full Control over Permissions Management: With so much unstructured data, including application data and departmental information, Rabobank needs to know that this data is only accessible by the people who should have access, and that data owners are formally assigned.Varonis DatAdvantage for Windows and DatAdvantage for SharePoint ensure that only the right people have access to the right data at all times, all access is monitored, and abuse is flagged.

    "With all kinds of sensitive, unstructured data mixed up in one location, we needed to determine who initiated this data, who was responsible for this data, who was using it, and which user should and shouldn't have access," said Sebastiaan van Putten, technical engineer, Rabobank. "Varonis DatAdvantage provides us with actionable intelligence on which excess file permissions and group memberships can be safely removed without affecting business processes."

    Reduce Risk and Full Compliance with a Least-Privilege Access Model: Without a logical or optimal permission structure in place, it was nearly impossible to identify who was working with the data and to which department it belonged. With DatAdvantage, it's easy for Rabobank to see who's doing what because the solution tracks and monitors file activity, analyses user behaviour, reports on all activity happening on file servers, and makes permissions management straightforward.

    According to van Putten, "Varonis DatAdvantage has greatly helped us identify owners of unstructured data because of its bi-directional view on permissions − all necessary information like groups, users, and folders are available. DatAdvantage presents this data in a useful way so that we can easily share the results with the business and determine the best way to organise and control our unstructured data."

    Enable Regulatory Compliance: Rabobank needed to prove it could control access to corporate and customer data as part of the financial industry's many regulatory requirements. Also, with a presence in over 70 countries, Rabobank required a solution that would be capable of managing data access and control across a global organization. With DatAdvantage, Rabobank can intelligently identify and govern who owns and can access which data, and receive alerts and reports that satisfy all regional compliance regulations.

    "DatAdvantage also automatically generates regulatory driven reports, which are required on a monthly basis as part of the financial industry in which we operate," concluded van Putten.

  • Paladin Data Systems announces City of Hialeah Garden, Florida as newest SMARTGov customer

    Published: Thursday, November 12, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswire

    POULSBO, Wash., Nov. 12, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Paladin Data Systems announced today that the City of Hialeah Gardens, Florida is its newest SMARTGov customer. SMARTGov, Paladin's community development software solution, manages the full lifecycle of permits, inspections, licenses, and code enforcement activities for jurisdictions.

    Paladin will implement its cloud-based technology at Hialeah Gardens to track all aspects of zoning and codes, including permit issuance, inspections, code enforcement, and all recurring licenses.

    "The City of Hialeah Gardens is looking forward to working with Paladin Data System to streamline our permitting process through the implementation of SMARTGov software," said Mirtha Gonzales, the city's chief zoning official. "We were very impressed by the system's ease of use, and we look forward to an improved permitting process that comes with outstanding training and technical support. We think our citizens and business owners will embrace SMARTGov as well."

    Hialeah Gardens officials decided upon SMARTGov in part after a 30-day free trial of the SMARTGov product. The move to SMARTGov is an upgrade from the city's current community development software, CRW Systems, Inc.. In June, CRW was acquired by SunGuard, one of the world's leading financial software companies.

    "Naturally, we're pleased that Hialeah Gardens, Fla., has selected SMARTGov to meet its permitting needs," said Jeff Pavey, Paladin business development executive. "SMARTGov's cloud delivery model will minimize IT requirements, while supporting robust features designed to reduce processing time and support public engagement. It's a win for the city and its citizens."

    Hialeah Gardens is yet another SMARTGov customer to convert from the 30-Day Trial Program. With the trial, organizations have a fully-functioning system using pre-developed data that can be manipulated to experience the robust feature set of SMARTGov software at no charge to help jurisdictions more easily evaluate how this technology can create value for their city or county.

    Hialeah Gardens is a city in Miami-Dade County at the southern tip of Florida. With a population of more than 20,000, the municipality is located close to Okeechobee Road (U.S. Route 27/State Road 25) and the Palmetto Expressway (State Road 826), affording Hialeah Gardens the opportunity to become one of the fastest growing cities in the county.

    About SMARTGov

    SMARTGov is a Web-based software application developed by Paladin Data Systems to support community development functions including permitting, planning, inspections, code enforcement, licenses, fees, parcels, contractors and many others. SMARTGov is configurable, flexible, and interactive. It allows community development users the ability to prioritize projects, manage workflow, communicate with other departments, and work more efficiently. While typically deployed as a cloud-based service, SMARTGov can be deployed on-premise and gives both citizens and jurisdiction staff access to project data on the web 24/7. Paladin offers a 30-day trial of SMARTGov software at no cost or obligation.

    Published: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswire

    The e-Learning maritime training pacesetter reaches several new milestones as vessel operators continue to invest in crew training despite a tough economic climate

A further milestone reached by the award-winning training-program producer is that Videotel has recorded more than 10 million training events in recent years.

    In addition, Videotel has recently secured the business of a fleet of 24 vessels from a new offshore vessel client based in the Far East who, despite the current economic downturn, believes good training is absolutely essential for the safe operation of its fleet.

Videotel has received nearly 100 awards for its training programs and software in recent years.

    Videotel recently launched the new print edition of its training catalogue, STCW Maritime Training Catalogue 2015-2017, detailing the complete Videotel selection of 950 new and updated titles available in a range of formats. Videotel’s computer-based training (CBT) programmes are included, an area that boasts an impressive 500+ e-Learning courses, more than twice the number of CBTs offered by competitors.

  • Global Future City Holding Inc. Announces Strategic Partner Great Coin, Inc.'s Filing of Registration Statement for Digital Securities

    Published: Wednesday, November 11, 2015 | By: GlobalNewswire

    IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 11, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Future City Holding Inc. (OTCQB:FTCY) (the "Company") confirmed today that its strategic partner, Great Coin, Inc., has filed a registration statement for the registration of "G-Coins", a digital security to be utilized by the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, GX-Life Global, Inc., in its multi-level marketing and retail business operations.

    Great Coin filed a Form 1-A Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the new Regulation A of the Securities Act of 1933 known commonly as "Regulation A+" (the "Registration Statement") on November 10, 2015 for the initial registration of up to 20,000,000 G-Coins. GX-Life Global serves as a selling securityholder under the Registration Statement for the resale of 5,000,000 G-Coins it acquired from Great Coin pursuant to a private placement. The initial offering price of the G-Coins will be between a range of $0.50 and $2.50 per coin to be determined by Great Coin's Board of Directors following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement.

    The G-Coin is an open source digital security that functions as a store of value and a medium of exchange. G-Coins will be created with secure, 256-bit encryption and will be freely tradable on an online trading platform. The price of a G-Coin, once on the trading platform, will be determined by market forces through trading activity. As a digital security, G-Coin will be offered as an uncertificated security, the ownership and transfer of which are recorded on an encrypted, secured distributed ledger system using technology similar to the distributed ledger technology used for trading digital currencies.

    GX-Life Global intends to distribute the G-Coins it acquired to members of the GX-Life Global community as loyalty points for the members' participation in the GX-Life Global community. Members of GX-Life Global will be able to redeem their status points, reward points, and status reward points for G-Coin at 100 percent of their points' dollar value. Each member of GX-Life Global will be issued a GX-Life Global-branded debit card that holds both redeemed cash and G-Coin. Holders of G-Coin will be able to use their G-Coins to purchase products offered by GX-Life Global or sell them on the online trading platform for cash.

    Ning Liu, CEO and President of the Company commented, "We feel that the integration of the G-Coin digital security into GX-Life's membership compensation plan will set us apart from other multi-level marketing businesses. The added incentive of a digital security freely-tradable on an online exchange with state of the art verification and clearance technology coupled with the quality of products sold by GX-Life Global all reaching a worldwide audience presents a compelling snapshot of our future business plans."

    The Registration Statement relating to the registration of the G-Coins has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission but has not yet become effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy these securities, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification of these securities under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
