Dubai, UAE, October 22, 2020 -- ESET Middle East, has signed a new partnership with Credence Security, a leading regional distributor of specialized solutions for cybersecurity, digital forensics and GRC.

According to ESET Middle East, the partnership with Credence Security will open doors to new opportunities and allow larger reach of their solutions to customers across the region. Credence Security’s complimentary portfolio and their technical expertise combined with extensive channel network and strong regional customer base will help further strengthen ESET’s stronghold and market dominance in the endpoint security space.

Demes Strouthos, General Manager, ESET Middle East says, “ESET is the #1 endpoint security provider in the EU and we believe that constant, real-time, multi-layered protection is required to assure the highest level of security. We provide high levels of protection, backed by over 30 years of research, which allows us to stay ahead of malware and by constantly evolving our technologies, we go beyond the use of standard, static signatures. Our unique combination of endpoint-based and cloud-augmented technologies provide the most advanced security on the market. This partnership with Credence Security will act as a value-add for ESET Middle East which will not only involve distribution through their extensive channel network but also extend to other areas such as technical competency and marketing to be perfectly responsive and ready for market needs and channel requirements.”

Given some of the industry-specific vulnerabilities and risks across financial services, healthcare and utilities sectors that need to be bridged with the surge in COVID-19 related scams, Credence Security will work closely with the ESET local team and existing partners to address these security gaps with the ESET Busines Product Suite. In parallel, the company will also look to drive sales of other key ESET solutions such as Cloud Sandboxing, Threat Intelligence and Endpoint Detection and Response.

“Credence Security is constantly looking for partners in the cybersecurity space, that have best-in-breed technology. We recently signed a partnership with ESET for Southern Africa, so this is a natural expansion of our partnership as we look to bring best-of-breed technologies to our partners and customers across the Middle East,” commented Garreth Scott, managing director, Credence Security. “Furthermore, EDR is a growing market in the region — we are seeing an increase in demand from our customers for an EDR solution and as a leader in this space, ESET helps address this gap in our portfolio. Finally, given that their portfolio caters to organizations from the SME sector, all the way to the enterprise, it fits nicely with our go-to-market strategy for the region.”

To ensure Credence Security’s partners in the Middle East, quickly skill up on ESET technology and value proposition, Credence Security will be hosting a partner enablement session on Wednesday, October 21 at 14:00 GST. Titled “The Power of Multi-layered Protection”, the session, led by Shabil Basheer, Presales Engineer at ESET who will deep-dive into the technology behind the ESET Protection Suite, discuss how ESET addresses the spectrum of security concerns from internet security to mobile security, and include a demo of real-world attack scenarios.

Canada’s Competition Bureau is proposing changes to the Textile Labeling and Advertising Regulations (TLAR) that would simplify the labelling of upholstered and stuffed articles.

The Textile Labelling Act (TLA) and TLAR specify the mandatory labelling requirements for all consumer textile products offered onto the market in Canada. The aim is to allow consumers to make better decisions, while protecting them from misleading representations. The disclosure label should bear the fiber content information expressed in percentages by mass, along with information to identify the dealer.

The proposed changes to the TLAR, which states that products with a filling or stuffing must be labelled, are intended to provide businesses with greater clarity.

Proposed changes include: 

1. Exemption for textile articles labelled under provincial regulations – section 10 of the TLAR would be simplified to exempt only fiber-related label representations that are required by provincial law
2. Labelling of textiles “used for warmth” and “textiles not used for warmth” –requirements under section 37 (upholstered and stuffed articles used for warmth) and subsection 38(1) (upholstered and stuffed articles not used for warmth) would be harmonized and combined into one section
3. Labelling exemption for certain filled and stuffed textile articles – subsection 38(2) would be repealed. This currently exempts dealers from providing information on a label regarding the fiber composition of filling or stuffing used in upholstered furniture, mattresses, box springs, cushions, chair pads, potholders, oven mitts, place mats, and mattress protectors (subsection 38(2) articles). This proposal will require dealers to provide information on a label regarding the filling or stuffing for all subsection 38(2) articles
4. Filled and stuffed textile articles produced prior to January 1, 2021 – a new section will be added to the TLAR, allowing dealers to rely on the subsection 38(2) exemption for articles produced before January 1, 2021. Dealers of subsection 38(2) articles made after this date would be required to disclose the fiber composition of the filling or stuffing used in the article
5. Textile articles subject to the TLA and TLAR – proposal to amend Schedule I (3) of the TLAR to prescribe all textile components of subsection 38(2) articles
6. Consumer textile articles containing filling or stuffing – proposal would amend the current wording of Schedule II (5) of the TLAR to clarify that the section is limited to consumer textile articles where the only textile fiber(s) present are filling or stuffing (e.g. a bag of stuffing at a craft store)
7. Non-permanent labels – proposal would amend Schedule II (3) to allow dealers to use non-permanent labels to disclose all textile components of subsection 38(2) articles

The Competition Bureau is currently seeking comments relating to costs and benefits to better understand the possible impact of its proposals. It remains committed to ensuring businesses and consumers benefit from a thriving and competitive marketplace.

Comments are accepted until October 29, 2020.

The Builders Email List that was announced as their most sought database was developed, and redone to provide their customers with just more than an email list. The sole purpose of re-doing the email list, according to the company, was to include more information and provide users with better customization criteria.

The Builders Email List serves the motive of businesses striving to connect with their prospects, who are builders.

It also covers 75% of all the builders in the United States. It enables businesses to connect with a larger number of audiences based on their business requirements.

Statistics show that there are more than 552,000 builders in residential building construction, more than 12,000 in the land subdivision, and close to 1.7 million in specialty trade contracting in the United States alone. This number is one of the critical reasons for why a business dealing with the builders have to seek for a Builders Email List.

With more people wanting second and third houses, businesses expanding to a franchise in every part of the world, builders have taken part in it. Without the help of builders and the construction of new and innovative buildings, and more would not happen. The need and demand for builders are not estimated to cease anytime soon. It has led to more number of businesses trying to connect with builders who are eligible for providing them with the opportunities they seek in the industry.

Jordan Davis, from a leading construction material manufacturing company, said, "Builders are always busy, and it is one of the hardest things to do, tract them and connect with them.
