SECUREDATA's Multi-Award-Winning Products Including Hardward-Encrypted and OS-Indenpendent Portable Data Storage Drives Are Now FIPS140-2 Level 3 Certified.

Two more products in SECUREDATA's multi-award-winning product range of hardware encrypted data storage devices, the SecureUSB® KP and SecureUSB® BT USB Flash drives, have earned the US Government FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certification. They are available for immediate delivery and use by government agencies, businesses, healthcare service providers, financial institutions, and others required to protect personal and corporate information on-the-go.

SecureUSB® KP- Certificate #3522
Secure USB® BT- Certificate #3528

The SecureUSB® KP and SecureUSB® BT models are hardware-encrypted OS/Host independent flash drives that both meet the strictest data security standards and offer different methods of user-authentication – via onboard alphanumeric keypad (KP) or by using secure wireless communication between a smartphone and the drive. Uniquely, the connection between the phone and the BT device is secured with an additional FIPS compliant encryption layer. More info here.

The SecureUSB® BT is the world's first and only hardware-encrypted flash drive with user-authentication via a mobile device/app (iOS/Android). Like the SecureDrive BT (HDD/SSD) drive, SecureUSB Flash drives come with multiple security layers and unparalleled ease of use. Along with two-factor authentication (2FA), it offers convenient biometric authentication through facial recognition/fingerprint detection (Android) or FaceID/TouchID (iOS) that add extra layers of security for accessing the device. A subscription based Remote Management (RM) service offers geo- and time-fencing restriction features, remote wipe, remote password recovery, and management over the devices and assigned users/groups.

Similar to the SecureDrive KP (HDD/SSD), the SecureUSB® KP is a portable hardware encrypted data storage solution with an ergonomically designed onboard keypad for user-authentication. The device has strict PIN requirements to ensure a complex password, and its wear-resistant keypad prevents unauthorized parties from guessing commonly used numbers.

ECOBOND® Paint, LLC Announces Breakthrough Independent Scientific Research Report Proving the Reduction of Harmful Smoke and Odor by Over 90%

In February of 2019, ECOBOND® Paint, LLC (ECOBOND®) entered into an agreement with Air Sciences, Inc. a National leading firm specializing in air pollution compliance, air quality consulting and environmental consulting for the past 30 years

The objective of the ECOBOND® Indoor Air Quality study was to validate that ECOBOND® OdorDefender® (EOD) substantially reduces hazards and odors from Thirdhand smoke and odors from ammonia (pet urine), significantly improving indoor air quality. The study proves that ECOBOND® OdorDefender® substantially reduced scientifically measured emissions originating from reemitted hazardous indoor air pollutants. ECOBOND® OdorDefender® provides a simple paint on solution to reducing common indoor air quality hazards, thus improving the indoor air quality.

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/us-lead-network-now-offering.html

Air Sciences Inc. was chosen to perform the air quality study to identify and quantify compounds emitted from exposed material before and after the application of EOD. Air Sciences is a nationally recognized, industry leading firm that specializes in air pollution and air quality. They have 30+ years of experience in service for both industry and government including mineral extraction and refining, power production, natural gas processing, chemical manufacturing, painting processes, and pesticide formulation. They have worked closely with both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and federal land managers.

Hazards of Residual Smoke

New scientific studies from well-respected sources such the National Institutes of Health, show that smoke residue will re-emit hundreds of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) long after a smoker has vacated the premises. It has been documented that both tobacco and marijuana share many VOCs, so the results of this experiment are pertinent to both marijuana and tobacco smoke. For this experiment, marijuana was chosen as the primary pollutant because of its similarity to tobacco emissions and unique smell.

Be alert to read related news.:

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/children-of-america-celebrates-teachers.html

Conclusion:

Indoor air quality was vastly improved by the application of ECOBOND® OdorDefender® (EOD). Various well-known air polluting chemicals measured in the study include:

Based on the results from the total VOC analysis and the individual compound analysis, this study provides scientific proof that when applied to a surface that has been exposed to the hazards of Thirdhand smoke caused by marijuana or tobacco smoke or ammonia caused from pet urine, ECOBOND® OdorDefender® paint significantly reduces the emissions of toxic VOC's associated with third hand smoke and ammonia, thus providing substantially improved indoor air quality.

James M. Barthel, Creator of ECOBOND® OdorDefender® commented, "We are tremendously honored to have our Odor Blocking Paint tested and validated by Air Sciences, Inc."

Barthel continued, "ECOBOND® OdorDefender® is not like other paints or primers on the market. We are a professional-grade, eco-friendly, advanced odor-blocking paint specially designed for sealing, blocking & absorbing dangerous existing odors and lingering fumes resulting from the secondary effects of cigarette, marijuana, fire, pet and other annoying odors and numerous other indoor air pollutants. This is important because of Thirdhand smoke which consists of the tobacco residue from cigarettes, pot, and other products left behind after smoking, and builds up on surfaces and furnishings which can then reemit back into the air and recombine to form harmful compounds that remain at high levels long after smoking has stopped occurring. Other products simply cannot seal and block, thus exposing you to the potentially harmful effects of Thirdhand smoke in the future." Read related news here.

ECOBOND® OdorDefender® is a patent pending formula utilizing a unique mineral and biopolymer odor blocking technology, contained in a high-quality latex based paint.

Why Just Paint? Paint With a PURPOSE!

https://jessicapressreleases.blogspot.com/2018/05/morris-animal-lnn-introduces-canine.html

The free app has fully integrated iOS 13 Dark Mode. Rather than just inverting colors, every aspect of the app has been redesigned and optimized to respond seamlessly as users toggle between light and dark mode. This feature will reduce power usage and improve visibility, especially when using the device at night.

The 2for1 app has also embraced the software's new and improved sharing capabilities. Tapping "share this offer" will activate a pop-up share sheet with personalized suggestions about specific people the user might want to share the offer with.

IOS 13 also introduced a new way to navigate the app and view content, presenting modal content in sheet presentation style. Offers are now viewed as "cards" that partially cover and slightly dim the underlying content, and can be dismissed by swiping down from the top of the screen. The option to operate the app with simple swipes makes finding deals through the 2for1 app effortless and smooth.

2for1 has partnered with over 2,000 businesses to provide thousands of discounts to local communities. The mobile app is free to download and free to use.

Increasing Consumer Privacy Demand Opens New Doors For Marketers

As the debate rages over consumer online privacy, FigLeaf, a privacy-first company, surveyed US and UK consumers and discovered an underlying opportunity for those hit hardest by ever-increasing privacy demands: marketers and advertisers. Despite the fact that 68% of consumers do not believe online privacy is possible and 52% do not trust recent commitments made by Facebook or Google around stricter privacy protection, the survey revealed consumers are still open to sharing information with brands they trust. Banks ranked highest in trust factor for all respondents, with government entities second. Perhaps unsurprisingly, social media sites like Facebook ranked dead last in trust, with mobile operators faring only slightly better – a particularly telling insight for brands and advertisers when considering the best medium for reaching their consumers.

Survey results also highlighted key differences in individuals' privacy preferences based on gender and age, creating an opportunity for marketers to more closely align messaging to key demographics.

"The findings of this survey offer marketers and advertisers an opportunity to adjust to the changing privacy landscape and engage consumers in new and more authentic ways," said Pankaj Srivastava, COO and CMO of FigLeaf. "Consumers have voiced the fact they are not unwilling to share personal data. They simply want greater insight into how that data is used, and they want more choice and control over when they share personal information and with whom. Brands that comply with these wishes, and demonstrate a willingness to respect and protect the individual's personal information, will be rewarded with deeper engagement and lasting loyalty."

Gender
Men and women paralleled each other on their reactions to recent data scandals, with more than three-quarters of both men and women saying they have changed the way they behave online. Gender responses also matched in the knowledge of where their personal data exists online, with 28% of women and 29% of men saying they are confident they know every company and website who has access to – or is storing – their online data.

The sexes differ in online privacy however, in what they are willing to share and how they address privacy concerns. For example, 48% percent of women are worried about sharing their location or having it tracked compared to only 37% of men. To address privacy concerns, women are more apt to share less online (68%) as compared to men (54%), while one in 10 men use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) as compared to only 7% of women who do.

Age
When asked who should be responsible for an individual's privacy, 45% of US respondents agreed it should be a joint effort between the individual, the companies collecting the data, and government regulators. However, when broken down by age, 28% of respondents over 30 years old placed the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of companies, while only 15% under 30 were inclined to agree. Those under 30 showed more inclination to take matters into their own hands, with 58% choosing to use privacy tools, deleting social media accounts or restricting what they share online, as compared to the 30% of respondents over 60 who believed the best solution to protect personal, digital information was for government to create stricter laws.

The younger generation was slightly more bullish on privacy legislation, with 12% saying the advent of the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) afforded them greater choice over which sites can access their personal information, compared with only 6% of those over 45. The under 45 demographic was also nearly twice as likely to believe total online privacy is possible, compared to their older counterparts.

Overall, respondents under 45 showed a marked optimism for the future of online privacy. One in five felt confident they knew everywhere their information was used or stored online, as compared to only 10% of those over the age of 45. And, while younger respondents recognized their activities were being tracked online, only 11% thought companies were taking advantage of all the information they could access. The under-45 demographic was also nearly twice as likely to believe total online privacy is possible, compared to their older counterparts.

Among all respondents to the survey, 62% believe a privacy tool or cybersecurity measure is the best way to stay safe online, demonstrating a desire to have greater control over their own data. This option proved more effective than restricting online activity (32%), deleting social media (16%), or demanding stricter penalties for companies that violate privacy (38%).

Conducted in May 2019, the survey queried over 4,000 male and female online consumers aged 18 or older across the US and the UK. A FigLeaf press kit including, charts and graphs, logos and other assets can be accessed here.
