 TrendMicro today released the beta version of Trend Micro SecureCloud. By applying new patent-pending key-management technology combined with industry-standard encryption, SecureCloud gives control over data stored in public, private or hybrid clouds back to enterprises.
Private and public clouds provide compelling business value in lowering costs and increasing business agility, but also present new security gaps and operational challenges that conventional defenses cannot resolve. For example, IDC conducted a survey of 263 IT executives, CIOs and their line of business colleagues to gauge their opinions and understand their companies' use of IT Cloud Services. Security ranked first as the greatest challenge or issue attributed to cloud computing. SecureCloud was designed to address these concerns: It alleviates data security, privacy and compliance risks associated with deploying information into any cloud-computing environment.
You're always in control because you hold the encryption keys
SecureCloud's patent-pending approach integrates unique policy-based key management, industry-standard encryption and virtual-server authentication to safely and easily deploy data into private or public cloud environments. This lightweight approach enables cloud users to secure sensitive information without having to install a vastly more complex secure file infrastructure. It can deliver services in a private cloud that resides in the enterprise datacenter, a public cloud outside the enterprise managed by third-party service providers, or a hybrid cloud that combines private and public clouds. Since users choose and manage their own security solution, they gain the freedom and power to move to whichever provider or deployment model fits their needs.
SecureCloud gives users exclusive custody over their encryption keys, where other encryption solutions might share or keep custody of keys. This approach provides "separation of duties," allowing cloud customers the ability to leverage the efficiencies and benefits of cloud services while maintaining authority over the information within their environments.
SecureCloud also helps users comply with security standards set in regulations like HITECH, PCI DSS and GLBA by safeguarding sensitive and personally identifiable information with strong encryption techniques. Ultimately, giving data owners the exclusive ability to dictate when and where encryption keys are deployed allows them to maintain complete control over their information and operate safely in any cloud computing environment.
Expanding Trend Micro's product family for public and private cloud environments
Trend Micro has invested heavily in a family of multi-layered protection for cloud and virtual environments.
Currently, Trend Micro Deep Security prevents data theft, business disruptions, and compliance violations with comprehensive server security for today's virtualized datacenter. The latest release of Deep Security (see press release here) now includes agent-less anti-malware, virtualization-aware intelligence, and leverages VMware vShield Endpoint technology for stronger server protection against data breaches and greater compliance. In addition, Trend Micro Core Protection for Virtual Machines delivers malware protection for active and dormant virtual servers in VMware vSphere environments.
Trend Micro SecureCloud enhances an already broad solution lineup for cloud security, but is specific to the security and governance of data stored and used in private or public clouds. The new solution can complement and work alongside Trend Micro Deep Security: While Deep Security provides a secure container into which customers can put their applications and manipulate their data, SecureCloud encrypts and controls data stored outside the container so that only its encryption key owners can access it.
Supporting quotes
"Security has been one of the greatest inhibitors to cloud-computing adoption. Now, as cloud computing takes shape and enterprises are starting to put data in the cloud, security must evolve to protect and control the data. Enterprises want assurance that their data and applications are secure before they move critical processes into the cloud. Trend Micro SecureCloud gives confidence to enterprises, who can rest assured that that their data is secure and fully within their control," said Steve Quane, chief product officer, Trend Micro.
"Trend Micro has been working alongside VMware to help ensure that SecureCloud provides support for the latest VMware vCloud API so customers can continue on their cloud computing journey. SecureCloud's identity and integrity checking provides a solution for those looking to deploy their own private clouds while helping to ensure compliance and separation of data," said Parag Patel, vice president, global strategic alliances, VMware.
"Trend Micro SecureCloud's key management solution gives control over when and where data is accessed. These technologies encrypt public and private clouds so enterprises can operate safely and securely in these multi-tenant environments. This type of solution is awaited by the enterprises and organizations that search for in-the-cloud IT cost effectiveness, but must not abandon security needs and obligations," said Eric Domage, security software & services research manager, IDC Western Europe.
SecureCloud Beta Availability & Cloud Platform Requirements
Delivered as Software-as-a-Service, SecureCloud represents a robust solution for safeguarding information in private clouds and public Infrastructure-as-a-Service environments. Trend Micro SecureCloud is available immediately and interested beta participants can apply to participate at www.securecloud.com. SecureCloud beta supports Amazon EC2, Eucalyptus, or the VMware platform and is expected to be generally available in Q4 2010.
Trend Micro SecureCloud is part of Trend Micro Enterprise Security a tightly integrated offering of content security products, services and solutions which is powered by the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network infrastructure. Trend Micro Enterprise Security delivers maximum protection from emerging threats while minimizing the cost and complexity of security management.

Not sure why anyone would want to move from a PC to a Mac ;-), but if you do, Laplink has the product for you. Laplink today announced the release of Switch & Sync, the easiest way to move from a PC to a Mac.
Switch & Sync makes moving to a Mac or synchronizing folders between a PC and a Mac simple. It quickly and easily copies all selected files and folders from a PC to a Mac, even automatically converting email, contacts and calendars from their PC format for use on a Mac with programs such as Apple Mail and Entourage.
The Outlook conversion feature (compatible with Outlook 2000 or later, Windows Mail and Outlook Express 6 or later) is unique to Switch & Sync, saving users a significant amount of time and hassle.
"Customers have been asking us for a PCmover-type solution for Macs," said Laplink Software CEO Thomas Koll. " Laplink made PC to PC migration fast and easy and now we’ve done the same thing for PC to Mac migration."
PCmover is the #1 best-selling migration solution in the world and is the only software that moves programs, files and settings from an old PC to a new one. Laplink has also been recognized for many years as an expert in file transfer and synchronization technology.
Switch & Sync builds on this reputation by automatically copying all of the files and folders the user selects - including documents, music and pictures - from a PC to a Mac. It can then be used to keep all of the files and folders up-to-date between the PC and Mac with automated synchronization and Laplink’s patented SpeedSync technology. This allows users to enjoy the benefits of each machine and use them in tandem, while SpeedSync helps them work quickly without missing a beat.
SpeedSync is patented Laplink technology that dramatically reduces the transfer times of modified data. It accomplishes this by only syncing the portions of files that have been changed. This allows for the fastest possible synchronizations, which keeps users from having to wait long periods of time for files to transfer between two computers. Switch & Sync also uses SmartXChange, which is designed to recognize when files have been deleted, renamed or replaced; streamlining the entire process.
"Moving from a PC to a Mac has not been a simple process until now," continued Koll. "And, Switch & Sync offers the fastest file transfer and synchronization possible, which is why it is the ideal solution for both switching from a PC to a Mac as well as keeping PCs and Macs in sync."
Other Switch & Sync features include:
* A user-friendly interface for copying and moving data quickly and easily.
* Automated file synchronization allowing users to automatically sync files and folders daily, weekly or monthly between PCs and Macs.

Equipped with proprietary Tractrix Horn technology, each speaker offers the precision, clarity and effortless power for which Klipsch is known.
"The new Synergy speakers’ lifelike and dynamic sound helps enthusiasts rediscover their favorite artists and movies," said Mark Casavant, vice president of product development for Klipsch. "With this new series, we are thrilled to offer users an even higher level of the renowned Klipsch sound performance at nearly the same price points as before."
The eight new models consist of three floorstanding towers (F-30, F-20 and F-10), one bookshelf model (B-20), two center channels (C-20 and C-10) and two surround speakers (S-20 and S-10), which include Klipsch’s exclusive Wide Dispersion Surround Technology (WDST). WDST is the no-compromise approach to surround speaker design because it provides maximum surround coverage and improved placement flexibility.
All of the new Synergy Series loudspeakers feature lightweight, rigid IMG woofer cones to ensure tight musical bass response. New Tractrix horn tweeters incorporate Linear Travel Suspension and aluminum diaphragm compression drivers, which work together to reduce distortion and produce crystal-clear high frequencies. Available in a modern black ash vinyl veneer with gray accents, each speaker exudes superior style and blends seamlessly with any dcor.
"Our experience powering the sound in nearly half of all new movie theaters built in North America today enables us to bring the movie theater feel into anyone’s home with our home audio lines like the new Synergy Series," said Casavant. "For over 60 years, all Klipsch products have utilized our unrivalled horn technology, and as we continue to enhance and create new product lines, we strive to complement our past with the latest audio advancements to ensure the ever-evolving yet signature Klipsch sound."
The new Klipsch Synergy Series now covers U.S. MSRP price points ranging from $598 to $998 for a pair of floorstanding speakers, $279 for a pair of bookshelf models, $199 to $299 for a center channel and $329 to $479 for a pair of surrounds.

 Nuance today introduced Dragon Naturally Speaking Legal 11, the enterprise-ready speech recognition software that enables legal professionals create documents and control their PCs by voice to boost productivity and drive down costs.
Priced 33 percent lower than previous versions, Dragon Legal 11 enables a more efficient document editing and correction workflow for legal support staff, and also allows lawyers to take charge of their own dictation, so that they can simply speak their briefs, contracts, case documentation, correspondence and more in the office or on the go. With Dragon Legal, law firms and corporate legal departments can reduce spending on legal transcription services, and can also shift staff resources from transcription to other billable activities.
Designed specifically for the legal community, Dragon Legal includes a special language model to help achieve up to 99 percent accuracy, automatically formats citations, and offers third-party correction features to speed document turnaround and make support staff more efficient. Legal professionals can save even more time with custom voice commands to build and format document templates, and can dictate into a digital voice recorder on the go for automatic transcription of audio files upon connection to a PC. Dragon Legal also provides security features, configuration options, and administrative tools for managing large user networks.
See what attorney Nicholas Harding has to say about Dragon Legal here.
Key benefits in Dragon Legal include:
* Experience Accuracy and Speed Dragon 11 is the most accurate speech recognition yet, with an improvement in accuracy of 15 percent compared to Dragon 10. This means Dragon 11 recognizes speech more accurately, so legal professionals will spend less time correcting recognition errors. Dragon 11 is also faster than previous editions when selecting application menu items by voice or executing voice commands.
* Eliminate Transcription Bottlenecks Streamline transcription and review workflow. Dragon Legal can monitor incoming audio files, automatically convert each file into a text document, and then route the audio and transcript text to support staff. Dragon’s Voice Notations feature allows the speaker to make "side comments," such as specific instructions, that are saved as part of the recorded dictation but do not appear as part of the transcribed text.
* Make Support Staff More Productive Rather than creating documents from scratch, support staff can rely on Dragon Legal to deliver a transcribed draft of audio dictation for simple editing and correction, dramatically decreasing document turnaround time and making support staff more productive. Dragon Legal is the only edition of Dragon to offer robust third-party correction features to streamline the editing and correction process, including an option to save synchronized audio from dictation done in DragonPad, Word, WordPerfect and OpenOffice Writer, as well as tools to automate the transcription of saved audio files so that support staff can easily review and edit text.
* Use Dragon to Transcribe Recorded Audio Customers can record case notes and memos, using a Nuance-approved digital voice recorder or smart phone application - from anywhere, at anytime - and automatically transcribe text when the audio file is sent to the PC. Creating a new user profile for a digital recorder or smartphone, or adding a digital recorder as a new audio source for an existing user profile, is much faster with Dragon 11: the minimum reading time required to train Dragon with a recorder has been reduced from 15 to 4 minutes. Dragon Legal also directly accepts more audio file formats than ever before, including .DSS and .DS2 files, with no need for conversion.
* Boost Productivity on the Go Legal professionals can use a wireless microphone with Dragon Legal at the PC in order to pace the office or access a file across the room without disrupting document creation.
* Save More Time with Macros, Voice Commands and Shortcuts Easily create special voice commands to build and format document templates, insert frequently used text and graphics, or automate common workflow tasks like saving a document under a certain name, printing it, and attaching it to an email. Dragon also collapses common multi-step tasks on the PC into direct voice commands. Legal professionals can send emails and schedule client meetings, search the Web for information, search the desktop, or even navigate between Windows, simply by speaking.
* Communicate More Naturally The latest release of Dragon makes it easier than ever to communicate more naturally with a new Dragon Sidebar to help users discover and remember commands and tips; a richer Help system with new tips, illustrations, tutorials and videos; an updated toolbar that allows users to discover and quickly access important Dragon features
* Correct and Edit with Ease Dragon makes editing and correcting text easy. With Dragon’s Quick Voice Formatting commands, issue a simple voice command, such as "Bold Client Report," or "Capitalize Court Proceedings" to make formatting text faster than ever. With Dragon 11, it’s easy to edit or correct a word or phrase if there are multiple matches by displaying a number next to each. In addition, corrections entered using the keyboard (in addition to those made by voice) are used to adapt the user’s profile and boost accuracy. Finally, the Correction Menu now suggests more alternate recognitions by default and enables users to quickly add phrases to the vocabulary, or to prevent an undesired word from being recognized.
* Get Started with Dragon Quickly and Easily Establishing a user profile in Dragon is now simple and conversational, and setting up a microphone or new audio source is more clear and straightforward.
* Experience Enhanced Hardware and Software Support Dragon 11 is compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 applications and Full Text Control, Menu Tracking, and Natural Language Commands are supported for Word 2010, Outlook 2010, and Excel 2010. With Dragon 11, users can now comfortably view the Dragon user interface and tutorials on netbook (mini notebook) computers. Finally, Dragon 11 supports OpenOffice Writer with dictation, correction, selection, and playback.
Nuance will be in Booth #227 and Ironwood Demo room 4 at ILTA 2010.

 JVC today introduced a pair of new pocket in the JVC PICSIO pGC-WP10 and GC-FM2, both offer Full 1080P HD video, enhanced low-light performance, a three-inch touch screen for easy operation and playback viewing, and compatibility with Eye-Fi cards for Wi-Fi connectivity. And for the ultimate in versatility, the PICSIO GC-WP10 is waterproof.
To produce stunning photos, PICSIO’s CMOS image sensor captures stills at up to five-megapixel native resolution without interpolation. It also records up to 1920 x 1080p/30 fps Full HD video with image stabilization for enjoyment on an HDTV via the camera’s HDMI output. Users can select from four different recording resolutions: Full HD 1080 (1920 x 1080/30p), HD 720 (1280 x 720/60p), iFrame (960 x 540/30p) and Quarter High Definition (960 x 540/30p). The new PICSIO cameras also offer time-lapse recording, which reduces hours-long segments to mere seconds.
Perhaps the most prominent feature on the PICSIO cameras is the three-inch touch screen with on-screen graphics for shooting and playback controls, including the 4x digital zoom. What’s more, the touch screen functions are easily operated even when wearing gloves for all-season fun. The large screen also enhances playback, with a large, clear image that makes it easy for all to enjoy what was recorded.
For easy editing and uploading, LoiLoScope EX for Windows software is factory installed. This new software offers quick, intuitive editing and direct uploading to YouTube and Facebook, exporting to iTunes and more. It can launch immediately when the camera is connected to virtually any PC. The uploading process, including editing, entails just a few easy steps. A full array of special effects is available for creative editing, supported by simplified icon-based access and intuitive drag-and-drop operation. Windows 7 Multi-Touch is supported, so operation via any compatible PC touch screen is possible. File output for DVD creation is also available.
Both PICSIO pocket cameras work with iMovie on the Mac. The two cameras also offer the option to record video in the iFrame format, a computer-friendly video format designed to dramatically simplify the process of editing and sharing video. iFrame works with compatible Mac and PC applications.
The new PICSIO cameras come with an SD/SDHC/SDXC card slot for versatile storage. The slot is optimized for Eye-Fi cards, so files can be quickly uploaded and shared using a wireless network.
The GC-FM2’s special conveniences include a slide-out USB connector, so no connecting cable is needed. As a convenience, a USB cable is provided and an AC adaptor is available optionally. Both models are charged through their USB connection so the cameras are ready to shoot more after transferring files.
The PICSIO GC-WP10 is waterproof to a depth of 10 feet/3 meters (IPX8 certified) for worry-free recording underwater, on the slopes or in the rain. The GC-WP10 also comes with a MP3 audio recorder to capture everything from lectures to jam sessions in stereo.
The JVC PICSIO GC-FM2 will be available in early September for $179.95. The JVC PICSIO GC-WP10 will be available in late September for $199.95.

 NEC today launched the NEC X462UN 46 inch thin LCD display designed for video wall configurations in professional digital signage environments, including lobbies, public venues, retail stores, transportation facilities and broadcasting.
The new X462UN offers several improvements from the globally successful X461UN, which NEC announced worldwide in early 2009. The diverse input panel, including a new DisplayPort connection, allows full connectivity and maximum flexibility during product implementation. The X462UN also premieres EdgeComp technology, which improves brightness uniformity for a steadier image across the entire video wall. This correction feature operates by decreasing the brightness from the center of the display while maintaining the level of brightness around the left and right edges. There are three brightness settings for the center of the screen, as well as three types of brightness curves for even more control over the total image. The X462UN meets the standards of Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) which controls the display through the LAN. Users who adhere to this protocol will experience easier use of LAN control on the X462UN.
The X462UN maintains its predecessor's ultra-narrow bezel, which allows for a screen-to-screen distance between two neighboring X462UN displays of only 7.3 millimeters. The X462UN can be deployed in matrices of up to 10x10. The barely discernable transition gap between displays ensures a homogenous picture across the matrix.
"Our enhanced X462UN exemplifies NEC's continued commitment to developing features that advance the digital signage industry, such as our new EdgeComp technology," said Keith Yanke, Director of Product Marketing for NEC Display Solutions. "In addition to the new features in this display, we've included the most popular and beneficial features that our customers request. The X461UN was a huge product for us throughout the past year and a half, and we're excited to introduce the next generation product."
The X462UN ultra-narrow display includes the following features:
* Professional-grade LCD panel, advanced thermal protection and sealed panel design for the most formidable digital signage industry requirements
* 1366 x 768 native resolution
* 3000:1 contrast ratio
* 500 cd/m typical brightness, 700 cd/m maximum brightness
* 200W power consumption (less than 2W in standby mode)
* Landscape and portrait orientations
* EdgeComp technology ensures a consistent image across the entire video wall
* SNMP support
* Full connectivity with DisplayPort, HDMI and DVI-D digital inputs and Ethernet with automated email notifications for diagnostic purposes
* Built-in expansion slot allows for seamless integration of NEC and third-party components
* Enhanced video wall capabilities, including TileMatrixTM (up to 10x10), TileCompTM, copy function, and individual or group ID functions
* Real-time clock allows for advanced scheduling of monitor powering up/down
* Carbon footprint meter tracks and calculates the conservation of green gas emissions
* RS-232 enables multi-display control and daisy chain capabilities
* Network Control and Communication allows the highest level of remote display management
* Built-in closed captioning enables the decoding and display of text information from a video source
* Windows Vista Premium certified
* ENERGY STAR 5.0
* Optional accessories and products for the X462UN include the Remote/Ambient Control Kit, Overframe Kit, Display Wall Calibrator Color Calibration Kit, stand, wall mount, single board computers, external PC, IPTV tuner, DVI daisy chain module and internal HD-SDI card
The X462UN will be available in September 2010 at an estimated street price of $4,699 and ships with a 3-year limited parts and labor warranty, including the backlight.
