August 5, 2008 Alex Woodie

HiT Software, a developer of data providers for i OS and other platforms, recently announced the hiring of Bruce Lee as its new territory manager for the rapidly growing Asian marketplace. In addition to hiring Lee, HiT is working to make more of its resources available in Chinese and Japanese languages.

Lee will work with HiT’s marketing, sales, and technical departments to build HiT Software’s presence in Asia. He will be responsible for working with strategic partners and system integrators to develop channel sales and marketing programs throughout Asia from his office in Hong Kong.

“The appointment of Mr. Lee assures customers and partners of the highest level of support,” says Giacomo Lorenzin, CEO of HiT Software, which is based in San Jose, California. “Mr. Lee brings many years of data integration and access sales, marketing, and technical knowledge and experience. He is responsible throughout Asia for working with strategic partners and system integrators to develop channel sales and marketing programs.”

Other moves that HiT hopes will boost its Asian fortunes include translating the instructional videos on its Web for its DBMoto and Allora products site into Mandarin Chinese and Japanese languages. Currently they are available in English and Spanish.

HiT is also altering its Web site to include Simplified Chinese and Kanji crawlable pages, which will enable customers and partners to quickly locate information on HiT’s solutions by searching through popular Asian search engines, including Baidu, Google China, and Google Japan.

CYBER-ATTACKS ON THE RISE. PROTECT WITH THE TRIPLE PLAY.

COVID-19 has not only caused a global pandemic, but has sparked a “cyber pandemic” as well.

“Cybersecurity experts predict that in 2021, there will be a cyber-attack incident every 11 seconds. This is nearly twice what it was in 2019 (every 19 seconds), and four times the rate five years ago (every 40 seconds in 2016). It is expected that cybercrime will cost the global economy $6.1 trillion annually, making it the third-largest economy in the world, right behind those of the United States and China.”1

Protecting an organization’s data is not a single-faceted approach, and companies need to do everything they can to both proactively prevent an attempted attack and reactively respond to a successful attack.

UCG Technologies’ VAULT400 subscription defends IBM i and Intel systems against cyber-attacks through comprehensive protection with the Triple Play Protection – Cloud Backup, DRaaS, & Enterprise Cybersecurity Training.

Cyber-attacks become more sophisticated every day. The dramatic rise of the remote workforce has accelerated this trend as cyber criminals aggressively target company employees with online social engineering attacks. It is crucial that employees have proper training on what NOT to click on. Cyber threats and social engineering are constantly evolving and UCG’s Enterprise Cybersecurity Training (powered by KnowBe4) is designed to educate employees on the current cutting-edge cyber-attacks and how to reduce and eliminate them.

A company is only as strong as its weakest link and prevention is just part of the story. Organizations need to have a quick response and actionable plan to implement should their data become compromised. This is the role of cloud backup and disaster-recovery-as-a-service (DRaaS).

Data is a company’s most valuable asset. UCG’s VAULT400 Cloud Backup provides 256-bit encrypted backups to two (2) remote locations for safe retrieval should a cyber-attack occur. This is a necessary component of any protection strategy. Whether a single click on a malicious link brings down the Windows environment or an infected SQL server feeds the IBM i, once the data is compromised, there is no going back unless you have your data readily available.

Recovery is not a trivial task, especially when you factor in the time sensitive nature of restoring from an active attack. This leads to the third play of the Triple Play Protection – DRaaS. Companies have myriad concerns once an attack is realized and a managed service disaster recovery allows employees to keep focus on running the business in a crisis state.

The combination of training employees with secure backup and disaster recovery offers companies the best chance at avoiding financial disruption in an age of stronger, more frequent cyber-attacks.
