Key Highlights:
‌+ Security is a key feature of your products or services. So if you do not scale up in that area, you’ll not be a part of the business growth: Naseem Halder, CISO, ACKO General Insurance Ltd

‌+ Security should be looked at with the angle of response time. Because we need to detect, act, and protect with a faster response time, in an effective way: Debojit Maitra, CISO, Aditya Birla Fashion And Retail Ltd

‌+ The security perimeter is not only your endpoints, but it’s much wider today. Also, with more products, there has to be speed, growth and agility. Therefore, we need to see how we can optimise operations and security solutions: Sivasubramanian M, Global CIO, VA Tech Wabag Ltd

‌+ The businesses have to get their basics right, to have secured network and systems: Lokesh Vishwanath, Associate Director, Cyber Security Engineering, GSK

+ Considering security, the most important aspect is to keep your fundamentals on point. Sustenance is the key: Vijay R, CISO, Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services

+ Security and sustainability, that’s where the industry would be focussing in the future: Sanjiv Mehta, Country Manager, AMD India

‌+ Multiple-layer security is anyways an effective implementation, but with more layers, more time is required. Therefore, businesses need to look at their deployments and find a balance to ensure their security as well as response time and agility: Anurag Nalawade, Director, Blancco India

‌+ We need to consider whether we can use one solution to address multiple security issues more closer to the end consumer: Vipul Nayak, Head of GIC’s/GBs & Large Enterprise, Zscaler

Speed up your home’s Wi-Fi — this mesh router just hit an all-time low for Prime Day

/in


Is the router you got from your cable company not cutting it anymore? If it’s slow, laggy and doesn’t cover every room — especially if you live in a two-story house — we’ve got your salvation. There’s a way to get a fast internet connection everywhere in your home without being forced to huddle in one room. And it’s more affordable than ever. Enter the Amazon Eero 6 Mesh Wi-Fi Router, a compact wireless wonder that gets the job done as seamlessly as possible. Ahead of next week’s Prime Early Access Sale, it’s now $75, down from $89. That’s the all-time lowest price for this popular gizmo.

Fast and reliable internet speeds

Here’s how it works: Simply connect this Wi-Fi router to your modem and place it in an open space. Once synced with your internet provider (it’s compatible with most major services), the Eero 6 Mesh Wi-Fi Router can cover up to 1,500 square feet with speeds up to 900 Mbps. Unlike a Wi-Fi extender, which sacrifices speed for coverage, this mesh router can handle both. No lag, hiccups or dropouts! And shoppers are just in love with it.

“This device is super easy to set up and lightning fast,” raved a very happy Amazon shopper. “I was able to stream two 4K movies and three HD movies on five devices at once with no lag. Set everything up in less than 10 minutes…”

Multiple device support

If you can’t live (or work) without Wi-Fi, the Eero 6 Mesh Wi-Fi Router will breathe new life into your home. You can also control all devices on your network with the Eero mobile app to give more or less signal strength to devices that might need it.

For example: A Roku Streaming Stick or Fire TV Stick for 4K video streaming might need more speed, while your kids’ laptops could use a slower speed — especially if they’re supposed to be studying instead of watching YouTube videos. It even works with the Echo Dot and Alexa for hands-free navigation. It’s also easy to set up!

“This router is amazing! This router was well worth the price and is possibly one of the best purchases I have ever made,” shared a satisfied Amazon shopper. “We were having a hard time getting and keeping…

Best VPN 2022 For Speed, Netflix & No Logging (Our #1 Picks)

/in


If you’re looking for a no-log VPN for your phone, PC, or home, then look no further: these are the best no-log VPN providers right now on the market right now. In order to generate this list, we tested over 30 of the most popular VPNs on the market. After careful deliberation, we finally managed to come up with several options that are detailed in full below… 

Top-Rated No Log VPNs

When it comes to VPNs, you have plenty of good options to choose from. But if you’re going to pay for a VPN, you don’t want “good” – you want great. And the difference between a “good” VPN and a “great” VPN is how we choose the options listed below.

With respect to overall download speeds, security, and platform performance, all of the VPNs listed below were exceptional. They’re also all 100% no-logs too which means they do not store ANY data about what you do while using their network.

This is important too, and it is the #1 reason why you should NOT use free VPNs – they harvest your data for profit. And when you’re looking to be more private online, you do not want this.

All of the VPNs listed below are very impressive. My personal favorite right now would be ExpressVPN. I do really like NordVPN though too – there really isn’t much to separate these two platforms.

If you want a properly inexpensive but very impressive VPN, you’ll want to check out PureVPN – it has some of the best prices in the game.

Eastern Upper Peninsula Rural Communities To Receive High Speed Broadband Internet

/in


$3 Million CARES Grant Awarded to Merit Network

ANN ARBOR, Mich., May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Merit Network was awarded a $2.99 million Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act Recovery Assistance Grant to support construction of 70 miles of middle-mile fiber optic infrastructure in the Upper Peninsula.

The infrastructure corridor project, named Leveraging Infrastructure for Transforming the Upper Peninsula (LIFT-UP) will pass through Chippewa, Luce and Mackinac counties. This fiber will enable local internet service providers to interconnect with Merit’s middle-mile backhaul to bring reliable, high-speed broadband internet to rural and remote communities in Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula.

The EUPConnect Collaborative, led by the Easter Upper Peninsula Intermediate School District (EUPISD) and the Eastern Upper Peninsula Regional Planning and Development Commission (EUPRPDC) will collaborate with Merit on the project. They have collaborated with Merit’s Michigan Moonshot initiative and the Quello Center for Media and Information Policy at Michigan State University for several years on citizen-scientist crowdsourced research to identify and map broadband access and adoption statistics regionally. An understanding of the prevalence and impact of the digital divide for the region was a first step in developing a blueprint for equitable access.

“The Eastern UP Regional Planning and Development Commission is excited to see this significant EDA investment in broadband for the region. Broadband availability and accessibility has long been the highest priority in our region’s Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. The MERIT LIFT-UP project will provide much needed investment to move the needle on this issue and make the region more economically competitive on the national and global stage,” said Jeff Hagan, CEO of EUP Regional Planning.

“Every community deserves access to modern digital infrastructure to support education, telemedicine, public safety, workforce needs and economic development, regardless of geographic location. This new federal investment in the Eastern UP helps advance this goal, and…
