Breach Clarity™ Launched at KNOW Conference

Today, the Identity Theft Resource Center® (ITRC), a national non-profit organization established to support victims of identity crime, and Futurion announced during the KNOW 2019 conference the launch of a new tool to empower victims of data breaches in decoding what breach notification means to them and how they can minimize the risk of identity theft and fraud. The ITRC, along with the tool's creator Jim Van Dyke, announced Breach Clarity™. Breach Clarity is the secret decoder that will allow consumers to decipher data breach risks, prioritize the right minimization actions and access ITRC advisors for additional help. Breach Clarity is a no-cost, online tool for consumers, meant to crack the often muddled and incomplete information that follows breach notification.

Consumers can utilize the tool at http://www.idtheftcenter.org/BreachClarity and begin decoding the effect of any data breach on their identity safety. Breach Clarity uses a proprietary algorithm to give a data breach a risk score based on unique variables, like amount and type of information exposed. The higher the risk score for a specific breach, the more negative consequences that breach can potentially have for an individual. Breach Clarity also unlocks the top potential harms and recommended action steps for a victim of each breach, eliminating confusion in a time-is-of-the-essence period for victims. Finally, the tool provides resources for consumers like risk minimization plans from ITRC for data breach and next steps toward remediation.

The most frequently asked question ITRC receives when assisting victims of data breach is, "But what does this actually mean to me?" The national non-profit strives to better assist and educate victims in determining if they should be worried and how the breach can affect them. Breach Clarity gives consumers the power to decode the harms of a data breach. After receiving a notification letter or getting information from a credible third-party like media sources, websites that provide security information and other sources, a victim can enter the name of the breach they were affected by to decode what that breach means to his or her safety.

"Victims deserve answers, not vague language that covers up the true meaning of data breaches," says President and CEO of ITRC Eva Velasquez. "We are thankful to have partners, like Jim Van Dyke, who are working to change the industry and bring clarity to victims. Breach Clarity is the first step toward empowering data breach victims and changing the scope of the industry."

The Breach Clarity algorithm runs on the backbone of ITRC's proprietary database of publicly available and notified breaches. Since data breaches – and fraud methods around them – often change quickly, Breach Clarity is a dynamic, evolving tool that updates as new information becomes available regarding breaches and fraud mechanisms.

"I'm delighted to work with the ITRC because we share a passion for protecting consumers," says Jim Van Dyke, inventor of Breach Clarity. "In contrast with some who blame victims as being 'apathetic' or even 'dumb' when it comes to security, Breach Clarity is designed to empower every identity holder with the facts and help they need to minimize the risk of a data compromise leading to identity theft." Read latest news here.

Shortly following the launch of Breach Clarity, ITRC and Van Dyke will jointly offer webinars on how to use the tool and address questions from the public. Sign up for the first webinar about Breach Clarity at idtheftcenter.org/BreachClarity. For financial institutions and employers, a premium version of Breach Clarity will be created to provide advanced capabilities such as an expanded list of risks and action steps for the consumer, integrated results from multiple breaches and methods for integrating to digital finance systems that further empower the consumer after a breach.

Attendees of the KNOW 2019 conference can join Eva Velasquez, president and CEO of ITRC (booth #121), Jim Van Dyke, founder of Futurion and creator of Breach Clarity, and James Ruotolo, director of product management and product marketing for the Fraud and Security Intelligence division at SAS, for a covert event Monday March 25th, 7-9pm. Register here or visit ITRC's booth (#121) for more information, space is limited as this is a first come, first serve event. Thanks to SAS for their support of ITRC and underwriting the KNOW 2019 networking event.

The lowest level of gifting comes from South Africa with just €15.41 spent on adoring mammies in Ireland.

Lulu O'Sullivan, founder and CEO of GiftsDirect.com said, "It's perhaps not surprising that those who are separated from their mums on Mother's Day would spend a little more but we couldn't believe it when we looked at the data for men vs women, and saw that year after year, Irish women collectively spend twice as much on online gifts than sons and partners do."

An analysis of demographic also throws up a few surprise statistics.

The Future of Trade Lies In Asian Markets, According to Industry Experts at DMCC Conference

DMCC, the world's leading Free Zone for commodities trade and enterprise, in partnership with Asia House, the centre of expertise on trade, investment and public policy, hosted the 'The Future of Trade: The Middle East's Pivot to Asia' conference at Almas Tower today. The conference welcomed over 250 leading figures from government, trade, investment and technology to discuss, debate and analyse the latest shifts in the world economy.

The event was held in association with the Government of Dubai, and officially supported by the UAE Ministry of Economy. Sponsored by HSBC and ABP London Royal Albert Dock, the conference focused on the anticipated trends in the future of trade, renewable energy and digital technologies.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/neosante-delictase-oral-drops-lactase.html

The conference keynote speech was delivered by His Excellency Abdulla Al Saleh, Undersecretary for Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economy, who said: "The UAE and Asia have long enjoyed strong bilateral trade relations. Asian countries account for 60% of the UAE's non-oil trade while 55% of the UAE's imports come from Asia. For example, the UAE's strategic location and ease of doing business play a critical role in China's Belt and Road Initiative, with 4,000 Chinese companies already operating in the country. As the UAE's largest partner for non-oil imports, India remains a core market for us, also offering significant growth opportunities."

H.E Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, DP World, added: "Despite ongoing concerns around the U.S. and China trade, and the uncertainties brought about by Brexit, we recognise that trade remains inevitable and vital for global economic growth. The UAE is uniquely positioned to capitalise on opportunities even where challenges exist. We have attracted an impressive pool of talent carrying creative ideas that have placed us at the forefront of innovation." Read all the related news.

In his welcome remarks, Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman at DMCC said: "Despite subdued global growth figures, this event highlighted that there is cause for optimism for those of us in the region. The world's economic gravity continues to shift eastwards and as a natural corridor, Dubai's ability to link Asia with the Middle East, Europe and Africa has never been more important. DMCC sits at the heart of Dubai's global hub status, and will continue to promote the growing UAE-Asia trade and investment ties that will usher in the next wave of growth."

"It is clear that Asia will play an increasingly important role for the Middle East as the region seeks to diversify away from energy exports. We are already seeing new trade relationships grow. Research by Asia House last year demonstrated a clear pivot towards Asia from markets in the Middle East, and this trend seems set to continue," said Lord Green of Hurstpierpoint, Chairman of Asia House.

"We are delighted to have brought key figures in global trade together for today's dialogue here in Dubai – a city which stands to benefit greatly from Asia's ascendance. The conference marks an important contribution to the Middle East's ongoing engagement with Asia," he added.

The conference kicked-off with a panel on "The Future of Trade", addressing the challenges and solutions amid dramatic changes in the global economic landscape, with emphasis on the Middle East's growing relationship with Asia. The key takeaways from the panel revolved around the pressure on the U.S. and China to reach an agreement, which would put an end to the trade tensions. The discussions also highlighted the importance of finding alternative partners in emerging Asian markets in the short term, which would contribute to diversifying the supply chain across the region.

Next on the agenda was a fireside chat on the latest Brexit discussions between Lord Green, Chairman of Asia House and Anne Ruth Herkes, Former State Secretary at German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The immersive dialogue focused on the difficulty of securing a deal before the extended deadline and the potential impact that exiting the EU will have on the UK's power in trade negotiations.

The next panel explored how FinTech, blockchain and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are revolutionising international trade and ease of doing business. Technology and finance experts from across the MENA region discussed means of collaboration between private companies and government entities to help foster innovation and identify growth opportunities across various trade routes.

The last panel, titled 'Shifting Energy Trends: The Rise of Renewables', debated the ongoing challenges for major oil economies with the continuous growth in the renewable energy sector. With China's growing importance as a pivotal player in renewable technology, the debate circled around the Middle East Markets' natural shift towards Asia to help expedite their diversification efforts.

Other conference speakers included: Kyle Boag, Regional Head of International Subsidiary Banking MENAT, HSBC; Neil Cuthbert, Senior Legal Advisor Middle East, Dentons & Co; Flynt Leverett, Professor of International Affairs and former US Government Senior Director for Middle East Affairs at the National Security Council; Sunil Veetil – Regional Head of Trade and Receivables Finance, HSBC MENA; Anthony Butler, Chief Technology Officer for IBM's blockchain practice, Middle East and Africa; Andrew Sims, Chief Executive Officer of NEC Payments and an Executive Director of Bahrain FinTech Bay; Luan Tian, Director of Global Incubation, Innoway; Michelle Davies, Head of Clean Energy and Sustainability, Eversheds Sutherland; and Daniel Calderon, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Alcazar Energy.
