Fino Payments Bank selects Seqrite mSuite to power its Workforce Mobility

Leverages Seqrite mSuite to empower its mobile workforce to access enterprise data and applications on the go while enabling IT teams to securely manage and control the devices

Mumbai, February 17, 2020: Seqrite, a specialist provider of endpoint security, network security, enterprise mobility management and data protection solutions, has today announced that Fino Payments Banks has selected Seqrite mSuite to securely manage its workforce mobility requirements. The deployment is aimed at empowering Fino’s workforce to access enterprise data and applications on the go while enabling the organization to securely manage and control the devices remotely.

Fino Payments Bank comes from an institution that has served the country’s banking needs for over a decade. It’s the first payments bank to go live with 410 branches and more than 25,000 banking points on day one and the only entity in its space that has experience in providing technology-enabled banking services in unbanked and underbanked areas. As part of its business model, a large number of Fino’s workforce functions remotely, accessing enterprise data and applications on the move. This made it challenging for Fino’s IT team to keep track of their devices.

Fino Payments Bank selected Seqrite mSuite after rigorously evaluating multiple products. The Seqrite product was chosen on the back of its ability to provide a centralized view of the devices and the ease of pushing applications on a real-time basis. mSuite is powered with a scalable cloud architecture that enables Fino to accommodate more users according to business requirements. The solution’s comprehensive visibility over mobile devices further empowers the bank to identify, track, and control user access to its enterprise network and data while also mapping the productivity of its workforce. In addition, it makes remote scheduling of a security scan possible for the IT team to identify risks and infections with the best-in-class anti-malware capabilities.

Speaking on the deployment, Mathew Chelliah, Deputy Vice President (Technology), Fino Payments Bank, commented, “As an innovator in our field, we constantly strive to expand the depth and quality of our service offerings and delivery. The move to create a connected, mobile workforce was aligned with this mission. Naturally, we also required an equally excellent centralized solution to securely manage, track, and control access for devices connected to Fino’s network. After a rigorous evaluation of multiple products, Seqrite’s mSuite appeared the best fit for our requirements. We are already seeing impressive results since the deployment and are confident that it will help us further optimise operations, bolster productivity, and enhance service delivery while also ensuring that our data, devices, and users remain protected from advanced threats.

Sneha Katkar, Product Manager, Enterprise Mobility Management, Seqrite said “Indian businesses are increasingly tapping dynamic workplace cultures to maximize their organizational efficiency, productivity, and profitability. Fino Payments Bank, with its mobile-led workforce, is one of the leading examples of this phenomenon. Through Seqrite’s Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) portfolio, our aim is to enable Indian enterprises to unlock their maximum potential by optimizing their IT management capabilities. Besides these advantages, Seqrite’s deep threat intelligence and extensive security capabilities also proved to be a decisive factor for Fino's IT team. Moving ahead, we aim to keep supporting Fino Payments Bank in their digital journey and look forward to bolstering our association with them.”

Quick Heal enters into a partnership with Big C Mobiles to increase mobile security adoption in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana

The association will enable Big C Mobiles customers to experience the advanced protection of Quick Heal Total Security for Android against a range of sophisticated cybersecurity threats

Hyderabad, December 17, 2019: Quick Heal Technologies, one of the leading providers of IT Security and Data Protection solutions to consumers, businesses and Government, has announced a strategic partnership with Big C Mobiles (South India’s most trusted mobile retail chain). The partnership will enable Quick Heal to tap into Big C’s vast retail presence of over 225+ mobile stores in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana and increase the adoption of next-generation mobile security solutions in the region.

Big C Mobiles is the No.1 retail chain for smartphones and mobiles in AP & Telangana. With this partnership, customers in the region will be able to experience and access Quick Heal Total Security for Android, the flagship offering from the most trusted and preferred brand in India. Experts at Big C Mobiles will also educate customers about the various benefits that they stand to avail by securing their mobile devices with this next-generation mobile security solution.

Why mobile security? A brief look at the mobile threat landscape in India

A recent ASSOCHAM-PwC study estimates the Indian smartphone user base to swell to 859 million by 2022 – becoming twice the size it was in 2017. This development will be accompanied by an explosion in the average monthly data consumption per device. The country is also projected to clock the fastest growth in digital payments transaction value, which will reach $135.2 billion by 2023.

Encouraging as they are, these developments are also making Indian mobile users a lucrative target by increasing the attack surface area for cybercriminals. Quick Heal detected and stopped over 3.5 million malware threats targeted at mobile devices in 2018 in the form of Banking Trojans, Spyware, Fake Apps and Mobile Ransomware among others. Having previously highlighted how cybercriminals propagate malware through unverified apps on third-party app stores, Quick Heal has recently flagged several malicious applications on popular app stores designed to steal sensitive user data.

Quick Heal researchers predict the mobile landscape to become more threat-prone in the coming years. The primary cause of this will be the absence of robust mobile security installed on end-user devices and the low awareness about its need. With Quick Heal Total Security for Android, Quick Heal aims to deliver a range of cutting-edge solutions to protect smartphone users against current and emerging cyber threats. The solution comes with a host of robust security features like SafePe, which secures financial transactions on mobiles, Anti-Theft technology, which prevents the device from being misused in case it gets lost or stolen, and Privacy Advisor, Browsing & Phishing Protection, Wi-Fi scan among others.

Kailash Katkar, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer – Quick Heal Technologies, said “As mobile emerges as the key driver of digitisation in the country, it has become all the more necessary for smartphone users to protect their devices with leading-edge mobile security solutions. Our partnership with Big C Mobiles falls in line with our mission of enabling robust digital security for all the netizens. This association will ensure that smartphone devices of the digital-first population in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana – where Big C Mobiles is the largest retail mobile chain – are protected against the rapidly-evolving threat vectors.”

Speaking on the association, Mr M. Balu Chowdary, Founder & CMD – Big C Mobiles commented, “It is no secret that Hyderabad is counted amongst the fastest emerging global cities. In fact, there are many other cities in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana where the adoption of mobile internet users is increasing at a rapid pace. And what connects everybody across age-groups as well as geographies is smartphone ownership. Our strategic partnership with Quick Heal Technologies, the leading digital security solutions provider in India, only goes to reinforce our joint vision of enabling smartphone users to have a safe and secure digital experience.”  

On the back of its strategic partnerships and robust channel network, Quick Heal has established a strong physical presence of over 25,000 partners across the country. The recent development is another step towards achieving its vision of protecting consumers and businesses from malicious threats in the cyberspace through its state-of-the-art offerings.

Quick Heal Technologies Limited receives Patent for its Signatureless Behaviour-based Detection Technology

  • Seqrite, the enterprise arm of Quick Heal technologies, is already leveraging the technology as a part of the cutting-edge GoDeep.AI framework.
  • The patent further underlines Seqrite’s robust enterprise security capabilities that detect known and unknown malware on a real-time basis.

Pune, October 18, 2019: Quick Heal Technologies Limited, one of the leading providers of Information Technology (IT) Security and Data Protection Solutions to Consumers, Businesses, and Government has secured a patent (US20170124327A1) from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for its Signatureless Behaviour-based Detection Technology. The patent empowers Quick Heal’s enterprise arm, ‘Seqrite’ with a unique malware detection technique to identify and block zero-day malware that use code-injection techniques like process hollowing, code-cave attack among others.

As part of the patented technique, Quick Heal Technologies has developed a stable solution to dynamically detect and remediate malware using code-injection at run-time and at the targeted device – with precision and without hampering the user experience. This allows it to address the challenge of sourcing the raw data required for detecting zero-day attacks, since as such data cannot typically be gathered by traditional threat detection methodologies. The technology is already a part of Seqrite’s GoDeep.AI framework, an indigenously-developed AI-based threat hunting engine that proactively identifies and eliminates known and unknown threats in the global threat landscape.

The latest development marks another milestone in the company’s 25-year legacy of constant innovation. Earlier, in the month of June 2019, Quick Heal had received a patent for its indigenously developed Anti-Ransomware Technology for a special technique to detect zero-day ransomware attacks. This technology is also a part of GoDeep.AI and is available to all ‘Seqrite’ products.

How Seqrite is using ‘Behaviour-based Detection Technology’ to strengthen enterprise security?

Growing interconnectivity within a highly dynamic IT infrastructure has increased the attack surface for cybercriminals, who are constantly looking to breach nodes such as endpoints, mobile devices, and networks to gain access to the sensitive and confidential business data. Zero-day malware attacks have emerged as a lucrative medium for them to do so.

Zero-day malware typically target newer vulnerabilities which are yet to be identified or patched. Since their attack signatures and methodologies are unknown, protecting the enterprise network against them becomes extremely challenging. It is here that Seqrite’s innovative Behaviour Based Detection Technology steps into the picture to empower enterprises.

Powered by Artificial Intelligence and Cloud, its ‘Behaviour-based Detection Technology’ leverages signature less detections to block zero-day malware attacks. Leveraging real-time threat intelligence to identify suspicious activity, Behaviour-based detection empowers Seqrite customers to detect and combat known and unknown threats through its signature-less anti-malware system. It is designed to detect and stop zero-day malware trying to compromise enterprise networks and individual users. Furthermore, since the technology is highly memory-efficient with minimum disc footprint, it ensures more robust threat defence without significantly impacting resource utilisation.

Sanjay Katkar, Joint Managing Director and Chief Technology Officer, Quick Heal Technologies Limited said, “The growing sophistication of the threat landscape means that the threat-risk in the cyberspace is more pronounced than ever before. Threats are evolving rapidly, even as cybercriminals leverage advanced techniques and methodologies to compromise the security profiles of individuals, enterprises, and governments. Behaviour-based Detection Technology is the creation of our commitment, powered by over 25 years of experience of combatting increasingly sophisticated threats in the cybersecurity landscape. Our latest patent underlines how Quick Heal Technologies is building on its technological expertise to support today’s increasingly digital-first business landscape and protect enterprises against new-age threats.”

The patent further consolidates Quick Heal’s leadership position as an innovation-driven cybersecurity provider in the global threat landscape. In addition to a patent for its Anti-Ransomware Technology, its enterprise security arm, Seqrite, was also recognized as a top enterprise security product by the prestigious AV-Test Institute in Germany, winning the Best Performance 2018 award for its Endpoint Security Solution after undergoing intensive testing at regular intervals throughout the year. threats within the cyberspace.

Tips Memilih Prosesor yang Cocok untuk Smartphone

Saat akan membeli smartphone ada banyak hal yang harus dipertimbangkan, salah satunya adalah prosesor yang digunakan. Sayangnya banyak yang tidak tahu prosesor mana yang baik untuk smartphone. Belum lagi terdapat banyak pilihan prosesor yang ada di pasaran berikut ini. Karena itulah pelajari tips memilih prosesor yang cocok untuk smartphone sebelum membeli perangkat baru.

Tips Memilih Prosesor yang Cocok untuk Smartphone

tips-memilih-prosesor-yang-cocok-untuk-smartphone

Pertama Anda harus mengetahui berbagai merk prosesor yang biasa digunakan untuk smartphone. Memang merk-merk ini sangatlah terkenal sehingga banyak yang binggung untuk memilihnya. Berikut ini tipe-tipe prosesor sekaligus kelebihan dan kekurangannya:

Intel Atom

Prosesor ini memiliki teknologi threading yang mampu mengolah proses dengan lebih cepat sehingga meskipun CPU smartphone baru menggunakan dual core tetapi kinerjanya dapat setara CPU 4 inti.

Qualcomm Snapdragon

Merk ini terkenal dengan chipset yang memiliki prosesor berkualitas, karena itulah banyak digunakan oleh berbagai jenis smartphone yang ada di pasaran saat ini. Selain kemampuannya yang baik, Qualcomm Snapdragon dengan cepat memberikan pembaharuan pada chipset mereka untuk memberikan prosesor yang lebih canggih lagi. Harga yang ditawarkan juga cukup terjangkau, sehingga tidak heran berbagai tablet dari kelas menengah sampai kelas atas menggunakan merk ini.

MediaTek

Banyak orang yang awalnya meragukan kemampuan chipset ini karena dianggap tidak mampu bersaing dengan Qualcomm Snapdragon. Namun dengan adanya teknologi System-on-Chip yang berkemampuan 64bit serta prosesor dengan quad core kemampuan MediaTek dianggap sudah mendekati saingannya tersebut. Selain itu loading yang mampu dilakukan oleh chipset ini jauh lebih banyak, apalagi harga yang ditawarkan juga sangat terjangkau membuat chipset ini mampu bersaing di pasaran.

Nvidia

Prosesor ini sangat cocok untuk smartphone gaming karena inti dari prosesor benar-benar efektif dalam bekerja. Pada saat menjalankan game berat semua inti akan aktif namun jika tidak dibutuhkan maka hanya satu inti saja yang aktif.

OMAP

Prosesor dengan merk OMAP memiliki kemampuan baik sehingga banyak digunakan oleh smartphone kelas atas. Daya yang dibutuhkan prosesor ini juga sedikit sehingga baterai lebih awet dan kecepatannya juga tinggi.

Exynos

Prosesor ini dibuat secara khusus oleh Samsung untuk smartphone mereka, dengan kualitas yang baik prosesor ini mampu menyaingi kemampuan Qualcomm Snapdragon.

Memang dengan banyaknya merk prosesor yang ada saat ini, maka Anda akan bingung mana yang harus digunakan. Sebaiknya pikirkan terlebih dahulu kebutuhan dari smartphone tersebut. Misalnya jika Anda menggunakan smartphone tersebut untuk gaming maka disarankan untuk menggunakan prosesor seperti Nvidia, Intel, atau Qualcomm Snapdragon. Namun jika Anda menggunakan smartphone tersebut untuk aplikasi biasa saja dan menginginkan harga yang lebih terjangkau maka coba untuk menggunakan prosesor MediaTek.

Hal lain yang membinggungkan saat harus memilih prosesor adalah intinya atau core. Memang banyak yang beranggapan bahwa lebih banyak core lebih baik. Namun jika Anda menggunakan smartphone tersebut hanya untuk hal yang ringan saja, maka core yang banyak tidak begitu berguna malah justru membuat baterai lebih boros. Core yang lebih banyak akan berguna jika Anda menggunakan smartphone untuk multitasking.

Tips memilih prosesor yang cocok untuk smartphone sebenarnya cukup mudah, Anda hanya perlu memperhatikan kegunaan dari perangkat itu sendiri kemudian pilihlah prosesor yang sesuai sehingga smartphone menjadi lebih efisien (baca juga: Hal yang Dapat Dilakukan Saat Menemukan Unsupported Game).

Ingin menggaet lebih banyak pengguna, dan menjaring pemasang iklan yang lebih besar menjadi alasan yang membuat Foursquare mendesain ulang aplikasinya tersebut tanpa check in. Untuk melakukan check in, pengguna bisa menggunakan aplikasi Swarm, aplikasi pecahan Foursquare yang ditujukan untuk aktifitas jejaring sosial.

Foursquare 8.0 kini hadir dengan tampilan yang serba baru, mulai logo, ikon, serta fiturnya. CEO Foursquare, Crowley mengatakan Foursquare hadir dengan tool baru yang memungkinkan pengguna Foursquare merinci lebih detil lagi tempat yang ingin mereka cari, serta memberikan pemberitahuan jika ada lokasi terdekat yang dianggap menarik.

Lebih dari 25 simbol dan warna berbeda dapat pengguna gunakan untuk menjelajahi tempat yang pengguna inginkan.

Foursquare Kini Tanpa Fitur "Check In"

Crowley berpendapat pengguna Foursquare terlalu asyik  menggunakan fungsi check-in. Padahal masih banyak fungsi menarik lainnya, yakni fitur pencarian.

Dengan fitur pencarian ini, Foursquare ditantang menjadi aplikasi yang lebih menarik ketimbang Google atau Yelp, dan menjaring pengguna untuk menggunakan aplikasinya tersebut.

Bila Anda ingin menjajal Foursquare dengan format baru ini, Anda bisa mengunduh di tautan Google Play berikut ini, dan bagi pengguna iOS Anda bisa mendownload melalui tautan App Store berikut ini.

Brave Frontier, Game yang Bikin Ketagihan

Game Brave Frontier
Brave Frontier (image: iTunes)

UPSGADGET.comGame RPG (Role Playing Game) menjadi salah satu game yang banyak diminati oleh para gamer. Game RPG disukai karena tantangan yang disuguhkan dalam game tersebut.

Salah satu game yang tengah naik daun diperangkat mobile adalah Brave Frontier. Ketika artikel ini ditulis Brave Frontier (BF) ini telah diunduh lebih dari 5 juta pengguna Android. Angka unduhan yang sangat tinggi mengingat game buatan gumi Inc ini baru diunggah 10 April 2014..


Lalu apa yang menjadikan game ini membuat ketagihan para gamer. Simak ulasannya berikut ini.

Gameplay

Walaupun RPG versi mobile, game ini tidak sesimpel game RPG sejenis layaknya Angry Birds ataupun Temple Run.

Sebelum memulai permainan gamer harus membuat akun Facebook terlebih dulu. Setelah itu, gamer akan memilih 6 karaker hero yang akan dimainkan dari keseluruhan 200 hero. Tiap hero dalam BF memiliki kekuatan unik dari yang lain, khas permainan RPG.

Total ada 100 area atau dungeon yang disediakan. Nah, di dungeon ini gamer dihadapkan dengan 6 musuh dengan kebebasan opsi menyerang, bisa 1 lawan satu, atau 6 lawan 6 sekaligus. Gamer juga bisa mengajak teman Facebooknya untuk bermain.

Fitur

Di BF ada fitur fuse. Dengan fuse, gamer bisa menggabungkan kekuatan dari suatu karakter. Misal gamer menggabungkan kekuatan Water dan Thunder, maka karakter target akan mendapatkan kekuatan yang lebih istimewa dari sebelumnya.

Grafis

Game yang disuguhkan dalam grafis 2 dimensi ini dibuat sangat apik dan lucu oleh gumi Inc. Warna cerah serta efek pertarungan yang menarik menjadikan gamer enggan beranjak memainkannya.

Yang menjadi kelemahan game ini adalah kebutuhan koneksi internet stabil untuk memainkannya. Lingkup permainan dan kontrol karakter juga terbatas.

Walaupun begitu, skenario permainan yang menarik serta grafis yang lucu memberikan efek ketagihan bagi pemainnya.

Game Brave Frontier saat ini tersedia dalam versi Android minimal 3.3 dan iOS minimal versi 5.1. Unduh segera game ini melalui tautan berikut untuk Android dan tautan berikut untuk iOS.

MIUI Sekarang Bisa Digunakan di Semua Smartphone Android

MIUI Sekarang Bisa Digunakan di Semua Smartphone Android – Anda mungkin sudah tahu mengenai smartphone dengan merk Xiaomi yang sangat terkenal dengan MIUI yang menjadi interfacenya. Selain simple dan mudah untuk digunakan, MIUI juga dibekali dengan fitur-fitur custom menarik yang tidak dimiliki oleh smartphone Android lainnya. Karena itulah banyak orang yang tertarik untuk membeli smartphone dengan merk Xiaomi untuk sekedar merasakan fitur tersebut. Belum lagi dengan adanya custom ROM yang membuat tampilan Xiaomi menjadi lebih menarik lagi dimata penggemarnya. Namun bagaimana jika Anda sudah terlanjur membeli smartphone dengan merk lain? Apakah Anda harus menyerah dan tidak bisa merasakan keunikan dan fitur menarik dari MIUI ini?

Tenang saja karena miui sekarang bisa digunakan di semua smartphone Android berkat pengembangnya yang mengeluarkan Patch ROM MIUI yang dapat diinstall pada hampir semua smartphone yang ada saat ini. Memang hal ini sedikit mengejutkan karena biasanya custom UI dari sebuah smartphone dijaga dengan baik untuk perangkat yang dikeluarkan secara khusus dari satu brand saja, namun tidak demikian dengan Xiaomi. Dengan adanya patch ROM khusus untuk MIUI ini maka semua smartphone jadi seperti Xiaomi. Kita tidak mengetahui apakah langkah ini adalah langkah yang baik atau malah jadi menjatuhkan brand itu sendiri.

Terlepas dari kontroversi yang diakibatkan oleh perluncuran patch ROM ini tampaknya banyak pengguna smartphone yang menyambut baik akan diedarkannya patch MIUI ini. Tidak diketahui apakah kebanyakan orang yang antusias tersebut memang pengguna smartphone dengan merk Xiaomi sebelumnya atau malah pengguna smartphone lain yang hanya ingin menjajal fitur yang diberikan oleh MIUI ini.

Tetap saja untuk saat ini patch ROM MIUI belum dapat digunakan oleh semua perangkat karena setiap perangkat memerlukan patch khusus tersendiri. Tentunya patch ROM ini akan terus dikembangkan sehingga semua perangkat Android yang ada di pasaran saat ini akan dapat menggunakan MIUI serta fitur-fiturnya yang unik seperti Advance Permission Manager, screenshot secara memanjang, tampilan yang fresh, dan masih banyak lagi.

Patch ROM ini dibuat dengan MIUI 8 yang memang sudah banyak penggunanya. Sampai saat ini sudah ada 496 jenis smartphone yang didukung untuk menggunakan patch ROM sehingga dapat menginstal MIUI 8 di perangkat tersebut. Namun 274 jenis smartphone tersebut adalah perangkat lokal buatan China sedangkan 222 jenis lainnya merupakan smartphone yang sudah beredar secara internasional. Kesemua jenis smartphone terdapat pada sekitar 100 brand terkemuka yang memang digunakan oleh banyak orang.

Jika Anda juga menginginkan smartphone yang digunakan untuk masuk dalam daftar selanjutnya untuk menerima patch ROM tersebut maka cobalah untuk berpartisipasi dalam voting yang diadakan di halaman resmi pengembang melalui link berikut ini. Anda dapat melihat berbagai jenis smartphone dari merk terkemuka seperti Samsung, OPPO, ViVo, Huawei, Glory, LeEco, Meizu, Nubia dan lain sebagainya. Selain itu jika Anda memang sudah memiliki perangkat yang mendapatkan dukungan dari patch ROM untuk menginstal MIUI 8 maka cobalah mencari patchnya dari halaman berikut ini.

Seru juga karena MIUI sekarang bisa digunakan di semua smartphone Android dengan berbagai merk sehingga Anda bisa mencoba merasakan keunikan fitur-fitur yang dihadirkan oleh UI dari smartphone dengan merk Xiaomi tersebut (baca juga: Aplikasi Android untuk Update Berita Olahraga Terbaru).
