Digital Defense Joins Microsoft Intelligent Security Association

Digital Defense Frontline Active Threat Sweep Integration with Microsoft Defender for Endpoint Complements Threat Detection

SAN ANTONIO – December 15, 2020 – Digital Defense, Inc., a leader in vulnerability management and threat assessment solutions, today announced its membership in the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) and technology integration between its Frontline Active Threat Sweep (Frontline ATS) and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint. The combined solution increases Microsoft Defender for Endpoint’s proven security coverage and efficacy beyond other endpoint detection and response solutions, offering comprehensive endpoint protection for joint clients.

“Dwell time is one of the most common yet challenging tactics that attackers use to obfuscate threats and execute a successful breach,” said Sanjay Raja, vice president of strategy and technical marketing at Digital Defense. “Together with Microsoft, we can offer one of the most comprehensive and unobtrusive next generation endpoint protection solutions for addressing this challenge and significantly improving clients’ security operations effectiveness at early threat detection and breach prevention.”

MISA is an ecosystem of independent software vendors and managed security service providers that integrate their security products and solutions with Microsoft’s to better defend against a world of increasingly sophisticated, fast-moving threats.

Frontline ATS complements Defender for Endpoint capabilities by identifying passive or dormant attacks that leverage dwell time to evade traditional security monitoring solutions. As a result, users no longer have to wait for an indicator of compromise to determine that their systems are infected. With the combined capabilities, customers have one of the most proactive solutions for identifying compromised systems and enabling security teams to be even more proactive in preventing breaches.

Additional joint solution benefits include:

Better visibility and early detection of passive and active threats.
Enhanced threat detection by combining targeted active threat scanning with AI-based behavioral anomaly detection, malware signature and file analysis.
Rooting out of small passive attack artifacts that are extremely difficult to find and planted by attackers for infecting or even re-infecting assets.
Identification of out-of-date or disabled endpoint protections to quickly flag at-risk devices and prioritize investigation and remediation.
Immediate clean-up of infections before patching efforts can be implemented.
Proactive analysis of assets for indications of a malware infection before other agent-based security tools can be deployed.

“We wanted to provide a cloud-native solution to clients that could build on the detection and remediation capabilities in Defender for Endpoint. With MISA, we are part of a collaborative community providing integrated solutions that solve customers’ security program challenges and requirements,” added Raja.

“The Microsoft Intelligent Security Association has grown into a vibrant ecosystem comprised of the most reliable and trusted security software vendors across the globe. Our members, like Digital Defense, share Microsoft’s commitment to collaboration within the cybersecurity community to improve our customers’ ability to predict, detect and respond to security threats faster,” said Rani Lofstrom, senior product marketing manager, Microsoft Security.

New Book Baba Summer Part Two by Judy Hogan

ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by Judy Hogan Baba Summer Part Two hitting stores everywhere now.

“…With enthusiasm I have translated the second part of Baba Summer, and I am convinced that you have found a very original genre form–an organic combination of a diary that grows into deep fictional prose, which, acquiring aesthetic tension, is suddenly crowned with poetic explosions. Literally, in front of the reader’s eyes, high literature is born out of fluid everyday life. By the way, you are here, perhaps unconsciously, connecting to the Russian tradition. Turgenev, in his speech about Pushkin, recalled: “Your poetry,” Merimee, a famous French poet of his era, is looking first of all, at truth, and then beauty in itself; our poets on the other hand take a completely opposite path, They are primarily concerned with effect, wit, brilliance, and if they have the opportunity not to offend plausibility, they will probably take this into the bargain. In Pushkin, he added, poetry miraculously blossoms, as it were, by itself from the most sober prose.” It is “the miracle of the birth of poetry from the most sober prose” that you, Judy, present to the readers in your book.” - Professor Yuri Lebedev, Emeritus, formerly Chair of the Literature Program at Kostroma University in Kostroma, Russia.

Baba Summer: Part Two is the second of four memoirs about Judy Hogan’s experiences with Russian writers and painters 1990-1996. She has published twelve Penny Weaver mystery novels. Grace: A China Diary, 1910-16, which she edited and annotated, was published by Wipf and Stock (2017), and seven volumes of poetry were published, including, Those Eternally Linked Lives (2018). Her papers and 40 years of diaries are in the Sallie Bingham Center for Women’s History and Culture, Duke University. She founded and edited Carolina Wren Press, 1976-1991. She has taught creative writing since 1974 and lives and farms in Moncure, N.C., where she works on environmental issues.

Adding Innovation in the Ndis Services Zedcare Ability ASrvices

ZedCare Ability Services Pty Ltd is a disability support services provider based in Castle Hill, NSW.

ZedCare Ability Services is motivated to deliver the best and reliable support to others with compassion and care. We understand the desires and necessities of our participants and promise to be there for them when they need us the most. Our goal is to make a real difference and provide an empathetic heart and voice for those who are excluded and discriminated against because of their disabilities.

We have always felt that the disability care available was never flexible enough to cater towards our needs, especially in regards to the ways in which we were unable to facilitate care towards my elderly parents in their last years. I always felt that more could be done in order to create inclusion and a true difference. This encounter was the driving force behind my passion in creating ZedCare Ability services Pty Ltd.

ZedCare Ability Services Pty Ltd is an NDIS provider(applied for NDIS registration), allowing participants to exercise choice and control. ZedCare Ability Services Pty Ltd focuses on offering special services tailor-made to meet the needs of the individual, with locally delivered help and support. We love what we do and we are committed to delivering the highest possible care to every single participant. Our services are available from as little as two hours per month, to 24 hours a day seven days a week.

OUR PLANNING & PURPOSE:

ZedCare Ability Services Pty Ltd is motivated to deliver the best and most reliable support to our participants. We, the employees of ZedCare Ability Services believe in looking after our participants with passion, care, integrity and efficiency.

In delivering that best care to our participants our most initial and important task is to create a platform where participants should be given full opportunity to define their complete requirements in receiving support & help. This would be only achievable if we reach out to them with our full opportunities and help. For this purpose, a network should be created through digital media and also by face to face meetings with our participants or their guardians. A user-friendly website showcasing our services and support categories must be created in order to make it visually understandable for them and obviously hard copies of brochures/information packs as well. Moreover, our website should ideally be in different languages for the participants of diverse backgrounds. Similarly, hard copies of information booklet should in simple words to be fully comprehended by everyone.

We aim to provide care with compassion to our participants which would only be achieved when their needs would be addressed precisely. The Participants can only accomplish their potential capabilities if they would be fully understood by our health care workers. Therefore, we need to hire not only experienced carers but also who are devoted to help others and commit themselves to bring positive changes in our participants lives. They should also be from diverse backgrounds for a better understanding of our bilingual participants.

Obstacles; to operate a business with compassion and responsibility we need to follow our governance and management policies & procedures. ZedCare Ability Services Pty. Ltd could face the challenge of building a team of appropriately trained people with clearly defined roles and responsibility to assist the participants with compassion and care. Appropriate software programs and various applications would be required to run the organisation without any complexities. Funding is another obstacle in having adequate and enough budget to conduct its activities.

Opportunities; having access to the network of NDIS, meeting with people from different backgrounds with their special needs, gaining the knowledge of knowing people with disabilities and how could they be helped to overcome their obstacles. We will learn from our experiences, training and would learn to run business successfully by making enough revenues to cover our expenses.

To achieve our goal, we would need at least one to two years’ time.

Our Aim for The Strategic and Operation Plan

Our Aim for Strategic/Operational plan is set up a business that would run successfully. It would include set up of client & staff management system, book keeping, marketing & growth and sustainable revenue model all running expenses can be covered. Our Goal is to have at least 30-50 participants within next 6 months of time.

ZedCare Ability Services Pty Ltd also aim to build SDA and SIL as part of our Strategic plan. Also aiming to support special sporting events in our outreach community goal.

CBD Flower USA Coverages Controversy Over The Hemp Stop Gap Bill

North Las Vegas, Nevada - December 14, 2020 - CBD Flower USA provides feedback on the H.R.8337 Hemp Stop Gap Budget Bill that aims to extend funding and allows hemp farmers more time to comply with new USDA demands. The Bill was signed by President Donald Trump on October 1, 2020. The new legislation took effect on November 1, 2020, and will continue through September 2021. However, not all farmers are happy. This extension has created a divide between states that have already complied with the 2018 Hemp laws, and those who have not yet received approval for their hemp program through the USDA.

What Is The H.R.8337 Hemp Stop Gap Budget Bill?

In the 2018 Farm Bill, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) was appointed to work with each state and Indian Tribe on hemp growing licenses for commercial purposes. For this to occur each state would need to submit hemp cultivation plans to the USDA for approval. The USDA could then approve or request revisions.

Under the 2018 Farm Bill, states and Indian Tribes had until October 31, 2020, to submit their plans for approval or revision. With the World-Wide Pandemic, lawmakers realized that not all states were going to be able to meet the initial deadline for these requirements to be in place.

CBD Flower suggested that "This extension will allow states more time to get up to speed with the new regulations that the USDA has put into place for hemp. Without this extension, many states may be left in the dark as they are not fully up to speed with the new regulations that are being put into motion."

So, the Hemp Stop-Gap Bill was introduced as a solution. While some states have already gained approval for their commercial hemp programs, there are a lot of states who are still in the process of working with the USDA.

This bill extended the deadline to September 2021 and allowed hemp growers to continue under the regulations of the 2018 Farm Bill. It also extended funding for the Hemp Pilot Program. While this may seem like a good solution for everyone, it was not well received by some.

The Divide

While the extension was welcomed by many states and hemp growers, some farmers were upset. States who have gain approval from the USDA will now be subjected to farm under the new stricter laws. This affords those states that have not adopted these laws yet a better chance to sell their hemp in the coming year. They will have softer restrictions to comply with.

The USDA was very strict in the outlines for the new hemp program. This means farmers may fall short of new regulations. States that do not have approved plans are hoping that the kinks in the new Hemp program are worked out before they are required to comply with the new laws.

CBD Flower further states, "The extension of the pilot program provided an answer that many industry leaders and lawmakers were seeking, as hemp growers needed time to adjust to the USDA's interim final rule (IFR) on hemp."

There is still some uncertainty about the commercial hemp industry and regulations for cultivation. States that have not gained approval for their hemp programs will have one more year to seek a resolution before they are required to comply with the stricter guidelines. For now, those states that have approval will be operating at a disadvantage.
