AT&T response to critics of iPad-toting techs comes up short

/in

A post here Wednesday headlined “Networking pros slam AT&T for arming techs with iPads instead of laptops” was lacking a response from AT&T until one arrived yesterday afternoon. And while that reply was added to the post yesterday, I believe it’s worth repeating here for those who may have missed it.

“In 2010, we began transitioning our field technicians to handheld devices, such as smartphones and tablets. This made our techs more agile and moved their capabilities forward by enabling a suite of applications they could use on-site to increase efficiency and improve the customer experience. While a majority of our techs only use handheld devices, others who handle special services use a range of tools including laptops. In situations where a handheld device is not sufficient, we ensure our techs are able to get the tools and equipment needed.”

Startup takes the effort out of endpoint detection and response

/in

Startup Red Canary is offering an endpoint detection and response service based in the cloud that is backed up by a team of analysts who weed out false alarms.

The service, called Red Canary, takes data gathered from customer endpoints, analyzes it and delivers alerts to customers so they can take steps to block attacks.

While the service uses its own behavioral analysis, code analysis, and base-lining tools, it relies on Bit9+CarbonBlack for endpoint sensors. It gathers threat intelligence on its own and supplements it with the resources of Threat Recon, Farsight Security and Bit9+CarbonBlack’s Threat Intelligence Cloud.
