UPDATE -- Check Point Software Announces CloudGuard: Complete Gen V Cyber Protection for the Cloud

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- *CPX 360 *-- Check Point^® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP), a leading provider of cyber-security solutions globally, has today announced the CloudGuard^tm product family to protect enterprises from Gen V cyber attacks on cloud applications and infrastructure.  Check Point is also introducing CloudGuard SaaS protecting enterprises against cyber attacks on SaaS applications. CloudGuard is a part of the Check Point Infinity architecture, built on industry proven and award winning technologies to provide comprehensive Gen V cyber protection for the cloud. Enterprise cloud adoption is accelerating, enabling greater business agility and efficiencies through both deployment of hybrid cloud infrastructures like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and  VMWare NSX; and migration to cloud-based applications such as Microsoft Office365, Google G-Suite, Salesforce, Servicenow, Slack, Box, Dropbox, Egnyte and more.  There is also an increase in multi vector attacks on cloud workloads and cloud applications including malware, as well as increasing incidences of account hijacking.  According to Check Point research, half of all breaches of enterprise SaaS applications are the result of account hijacks.

“Security is continually cited as a key barrier to wide-spread enterprise cloud adoption,” said Gil Shwed, CEO at Check Point.  “Our new CloudGuard product family provides consistent and comprehensive threat prevention for cloud based SaaS applications and infrastructure workloads.”

*CloudGuard SaaS *is an industry-first set of technologies designed to provide advanced security and threat prevention for software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications. CloudGuard SaaS also prevents account hijacking, using patent-pending ID-Guard technology.

Key security features include:

· *Zero-day Threat Protection: *Prevents APTs and unknown zero-day malware from infecting content in SaaS applications using real-time sandboxing, ransomware protection, anti-bot technologies and real-time cloud-based threat intelligence.
· *Identity Protection with ID-Guard (patent-pending) technology:  *identifies and blocks threat actors or impostors to access SaaS accounts, and blocks unauthorized users and compromised devices.
· *Data Protection:  *automatically forces encryption of sensitive data, and blocks and quarantines unauthorized sharing of sensitive files.

“After migrating our organization to Office365 and OneDrive, we searched for a comprehensive cybersecurity solution to protect them and decided on Check Point CloudGuard,” said Amir Shay, Security Officer, Neopharm Group.  “Since adopting CloudGuard SaaS, it has blocked numerous attacks on our applications, including account takeover, phishing and ransomware attacks.”

*CloudGuard IaaS* - Formerly vSEC and now a member of the CloudGuard family, CloudGuard IaaS  provides advanced Gen V security/threat prevention of attacks on infrastructure and workloads for all leading public and private cloud platforms including: Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Cisco ACI, OpenStack, VMware NSX, VMware Cloud on AWS, VMware ESX, Alibaba Cloud, KVM, Hyper-V and more.

“With cloud adoption at an all-time high, cloud security is clearly a major concern for most enterprises,” said Doug Cahill, group director and senior cybersecurity analyst at market research firm, Enterprise Strategy Group. “As enterprises evaluate cloud security solutions, they must look to offerings like Check Point’s CloudGuard family of security solutions that not only provide advanced threat protection but also keep applications, infrastructure and data in the cloud safe.”

Gen V cyber-attacks are defined as large-scale and fast moving attacks across mobile, cloud and on-premise networks.  These sophisticated attacks easily bypass the conventional, static detection-based defenses being used by most organizations today.  With the shared ownership of assets in the cloud between cloud provider and end user, knowing who is responsible for security is often unclear, and can lead to additional confusion.  CloudGuard is the industry’s only complete family of cloud security solutions focused on advanced threat prevention and keeping enterprise cloud applications, infrastructure and data protected from Gen V cyber-attacks.  

Check Point CloudGuard IaaS is available immediately; CloudGuard SaaS will be available in early Q2’18.  Learn more about Check Point CloudGuard,

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 07, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CIP Real Estate, a full-service commercial real estate investment and management firm, today announced it completed in excess of $273 million in commercial real estate transactions from January 2017 to date. The robust activity includes six dispositions totaling $246 million across California, Nevada and North Carolina, in addition to the $27.1 million acquisition of a Northern California business park. The company also announced aggressive plans to invest $150 million in strategic acquisitions for its commercial portfolio in 2018.“After being a highly active net seller in 2017, CIP Real Estate is gearing up to invest $150 million in commercial assets this year,” said Eric C. Smyth, principal of CIP Real Estate. “We are currently pursuing quality business and industrial parks, along with targeted office assets, and will employ our value-add acquisition strategy to maximize ROI and upside for our investors.”

Kicking off its acquisition activity, CIP Real Estate recently completed the $27.1 million purchase of Eden Landing Business Park in Hayward, California. Originally built by Don Koll, the multi-tenant flex industrial park comprises 195,000 square feet next to the San Mateo Bridge in the East Bay. The firm will complete a $2 million renovation to re-branding and repositioning the property. CIP Real Estate purchased the asset in a joint venture with Alex. Brown Realty, Inc. – the two companies’ 22^nd joint-venture since 1998 and its first real estate transaction completed together in Northern California. The joint-venture represented itself and CBRE’s Darla Longo, Barbara Emmons, Rebecca Perlmutter, Bob Ferraro and team represented the seller in the transaction.

CIP Real Estate’s recent dispositions include four projects within Southern California:

1. The $76.5 million sale of Empire Towers I-IV, four class A office buildings comprising about 400,000 square feet at the Ontario International Airport in Ontario, Calif. Kevin Shannon and Ken White and team of Newmark Knight Frank represented CIP Real Estate in the sale.
2. The $26.7 million sale of Centerpointe, in Irvine, Calif., four class B office buildings consisting of approximately 105,000 square feet within the Irvine Business Complex. Bob Griffith of Newmark Knight Frank and Brian Garbutt of Lee & Associates represented CIP Real Estate in the sale.
3. The $17.3 million off-market disposition of Mercury Tech Center to a private client of CIP Real Estate; the project consists of an 80,000-square-foot, six-building flex industrial park located in the Kearny Mesa sub-market of San Diego, Calif.
4. The $12 million recapitalization of Summit Business Center, a 138,000-square-foot, five-building office flex park located in Riverside, Calif.

CIP Real Estate also completed three disposition transactions outside of California in the past year:

1. The $92 million sale of 13 mid-bay industrial, flex, and office buildings comprising approximately 671,000 square feet within the premier Las Vegas business address of Hughes Airport Center. CBRE’s Darla Longo, Todd Tydlaska, Barbara Emmons Perrier, Kevin Higgins, and Garrett Toft and team represented the seller, a joint venture of Oaktree Capital and CIP Real Estate.
2. The $5.5 million sale of a 32,000-square-foot office building also within Hughes Airport Center. The building is 100% leased to Scientific Gaming (formerly Bally’s Gaming).  The Higgins/Toft team at CBRE represented CIP and Colliers’ Taber Thill and team represented the buyer, an affiliate of Scientific Gaming, in the transaction.
3. In the firm’s final disposition, a private off-market deal, CIP Real Estate sold the $15.9 million Charlotte Commerce Center, a 167,000-square-foot multi-tenant flex industrial park in Charlotte, North Carolina, owned in joint venture with Alex. Brown Realty.

“We will continue to complete dispositions this year as the investment cycle of some of our key assets are completed,” added Smyth. “In all, we hope to dispose of an additional $100 million in commercial assets, whose value we have maximized. This capital will help fuel the acquisitions we make this year and in the future.”

Three decades after first stepping into the spotlight, Kathy Troccoli continues to be a powerful force in popular music.

NASHVILLE (PRWEB) February 07, 2018

Three decades after first stepping into the spotlight, Kathy Troccoli continues to be a powerful force in popular music. The multifaceted vocalist is currently touring the country with her “Comfort by Candlelight” concert events. She has also released “KT’s Comfort Box”— filled with songs, sentiments and Scripture, creating a perfect gift for those who may be hurting in this often chaotic world of ours.

Troccoli has a fierce commitment to comforting the broken-hearted with her music, books, TV appearances and speaking engagements. Having lost both of her parents to cancer at an early age, she is familiar with loss and tragedy. The hope-filled song, “Goodbye for Now,” speaks to the grief that most of us will eventually experience yet proclaims the blissful reality of one day reuniting with them again.

But, there will be a time
When I’ll see your face
And I’ll hear your voice
And there we will laugh again

And there will come a day
When I’ll hold you close
No more tears to cry
Cause, we’ll have forever
But, I’ll say goodbye for now

“2017 delivered a multitude of tragedy and tears, from the Las Vegas massacre to the Texas church shooting, to floods, hurricanes and fires,” says Troccoli. “The losses run far and wide and the pain is deeply penetrating. People hurt. People grieve. People need comfort and my mission is to bring a message of hope."

Troccoli's numerous accolades include 18 #1 radio hits, 2 Dove Awards (plus 17 additional nominations) and 3 GRAMMY nominations. In addition to her success in Christian music she has made quite an impact in the mainstream arena as well, scoring a #1 smash hit with "Everything Changes" as well as a Top 10 hit with her collaboration with The Beach Boys on "I Can Hear Music." Over the years, Kathy has appeared on The Tonight Show, Live with Regis and Kathie Lee, The 700 Club, Entertainment Tonight and many others. Her genuineness, vulnerability and desire to connect with people have also made her an extremely compelling communicator.

In January, Troccoli will host the 20th Anniversary KT Cruise ​through the Panama Canal. The 10 day vacation aboard the Holland America MS Zuiderdam is not to be missed.

JinkoSolar Powers the Flex House at CES SHANGHAI, Feb. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (NYSE: JKS) ("JinkoSolar"), a global leader in the solar PV industry, today announced that it provided solar modules for the Flex House, presented by Green Builder® Media and built by Shelter Dynamics, exhibited at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Flex House, a net-zero, 760 square foot smart home provides a compelling vision of sustainable compact living with all of the creature comforts modern urbanites are accustomed to. It comes with a full suite of smart home functions and sustainable fixtures all integrated with Amazon Alexa. The Flex House also incorporated electrical vehicle charging, with a Bosch charging station and a Toyota Prius Prime.  

The Flex House is entirely powered by a solar plus storage system using a series of all-black JinkoSolar high-efficiency monocrystalline PERC modules and a backup battery system that maximizes the house's power generating ability despite its compact size. The off-grid home was one of the only exhibits at CES, the world's largest electronics show, that remained fully powered during the massive power outage that took place at the Las Vegas Convention Center, demonstrating its potential real life application. The Flex House is expected to be available on the market later this year, with base models ranging from $125,000 to $150,000. 

"Our vision has always been to increase the use of renewables in the world's energy mix and that goes beyond just changing the way power is generated. It is also about optimizing the way we consume electricity and the overall ecosystem around that consumption," said Mr. Xiande Li, JinkoSolar Chairman. "Green Builder Media clearly shares this vision, and we are pleased to be part of the Flex House. As a global leader in the solar PV industry, we are thrilled to be included in the smart home conversation with global brands like Amazon, Bosch, and Toyota." 

"As the global population continues to grow and space and resources become more scarce, we're going to need different types of housing solutions," said Ms. Sara Gutterman, CEO of Green Builder Media. "The Flex House exemplifies the type of small-footprint, intelligent, sustainable, and solar-powered homes that we need to start embracing. JinkoSolar understands the need for a new housing solution and is undoubtedly positioned to be an essential part of next generation, smart homes."

Best Practice: Work with Tenant Screening Agency to Ensure Compliance with Law; Opines TenantScreeningUSA.com

Adam Almeida, President and CEO of TenantScreeningUSA.com states that "working with a well-qualified third-party tenant screening agency remains a best practice for all landlords and property managers, for properties large and small." With rental properties remaining in high demand, the time is now for landlords and property managers to ensure tenant screening policies remain fully compliant in order to avoid the pratfalls of legal action.

WALTHAM, Mass. (PRWEB) February 08, 2018

As the rental market remains short on inventory and increasingly expensive, landlords and property managers seek the most qualified candidates for rental units, and in light of heightened demand a best practice remains to work with a well-qualified third-party tenant screening agency. Adam Almeida, President and CEO of TenantScreeningUSA.com opines: "As the rental market remains very tight now, more than ever, is the time for a landlord to work with a third-party tenant screening agency in order to remain fully compliant with law as they seek the very best candidate for their property."

The legalities of tenant background screening can often be complex, but these complexities can be avoided by working with a well-qualified third-party tenant screening agency.

Adam Almeida states: "Landlords continue to seek the very best candidates for their available units, individuals and families that can afford the property as well as fit into the community itself. Utilizing highly effective and legally compliant tenant screening allows the landlord to make a well informed decision on an applicant."

Part of the challenge in the rental market rests with the so-called Millennial Generation. With desire to live the American Dream without the shackles of a mortgage Millennials have a greater willingness to rent either in apartments or a single-family dwelling. (1)

From Forbes.com (Oct. 17, 17):

Looking to have their slice of the “American dream” while maintaining their freedom and flexibility, millennials are finding the best of both worlds in single-family rentals. Gone are the days when the two options were to live in an apartment or buy a house. By renting a single-family home, millennials get tree-lined streets, a yard and a two-stall garage, but can pack up and move fairly quickly if needed. (2)

With the increase in rental demand landlords need to ensure they take the proper legal and lawful steps as they seek to secure tenants.

Almeida opines: "This is where the tenant screening agency is so valuable. Not only do they provide the service of tenant screening they also can assist in keeping landlords compliant with law. Laws change frequently and it is incumbent on the landlord to stay current. A tenant screening agency can excel at that service."

Landlords should take note with what is legal and illegal when vetting rental applicants.

From The Las Vegas Sun (Jan 22, 18):

By law, landlords have the right to choose tenants they believe will be responsible, good stewards of a property. Landlords can, and should, consider every applicant’s income, prior rental references and credit history.

However, landlords cannot base their decision to rent, or not rent, to someone on factors associated with a legally protected class. Nevada law prohibits rental discrimination because of race, color, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability or familial status, such as pregnancy or number of children. (3)

Almeida concludes: "In the end the time is now to ensure proper compliance with all laws governing tenant screening, especially as the rental market remains hot and landlords seek the very best tenants."

TenantScreeningUSA.com provides full service tenant screening for landlords and property managers of any size and can greatly assist in remaining fully compliant with all existing law governing the use of tenant background checks. With a highly trained and experienced staff, TenantScreeningUSA.com can provide help to landlords and property managers with all tenant screening needs.
