Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) allows companies to make use of a common language when dealing with vulnerability threats. Since it was created in 2003, CVSS has been widely implemented by many companies.
GREYCORTEX Team Takes Third Place in NVIDIA Hackathon
During the 30-hour NVIDIA DPU virtual hackathon, participating teams worked on technologies for furthering advancements in AI , cloud and accelerated computing. Our GREYCORTEX team was among them, and our solution was awarded third place.
The goal of the hackathon was to validate the potential of using DPU (Data Processing Unit) accelerator cards for AI , networking, security and storage. The teams worked on developing a solution demonstrating the possibilities of using DPU in a data centre infrastructure.
In a competition made up of teams from all over Europe, the jury awarded third place to the project of the GREYCORTEX team, consisting of Petr Chmelař, Marek Brychta, Ondřej Kvasnica, Marina Volkova and Jozef Mlích. Our team used NVIDIA BlueField DPU cards for a DDoS attack detection and mitigation system.
With the DPU , Mendel will be able to process traffic faster, smarter and at a lower cost than before.
“ At GREYCORTEX , we are involved in a number of research projects outside of Mendel product development, trying to anticipate where market and customer needs will go. We are looking for ways to solve these problems and challenges,” says Pavel Jurka, CTO of GREYCORTEX .
One of the topics we have been working on over the past year is the processing of big data streams and their analysis using advanced methods that leverage machine learning and artificial intelligence. At the same time, we are looking at how to actively defend against such advanced attacks, which can be aided by hardware-level acceleration.
Participation in the hackathon followed our testing of the latest generation of NVIDIA BlueField DPU cards, which allowed us to demonstrate our intentions for how to use DPU in practice.
“ We hope that this technology will move into production deployment in the near future and we will be able to use it to provide better security for our customers,” concludes Pavel Jurka.

將科技和直覺的溝通方案帶入法庭——馬克藍尼爾使用案例分享（Mark Lanier Case Study ）
馬克藍尼爾 (Mark Lanier) 使用愛比科技 VZ-X 無線教學攝影機向觀眾展示註釋
簡介：
馬克藍尼爾 （Mark Lanier）
The Lanier Law Firm 律師事務所創辦人、《國家訴訟律師》雜誌（National Trial Lawyers）的「年度訴訟律師」（Trial Lawyer of the Year）和「美國前 50 大最有影響力律師」。《國家法律》雜誌（National Law Journal）不只一次評選為全美前十大訴訟律師，美國司法協會（American Association of Justice）頒予「終身成就獎」等。
華爾街日報（The Wall Street Journal）、紐約時報（The New York Times）、洛杉磯時報（the Los Angeles Times）、波士頓環球報（The Boston Globe）、彭博新聞（Bloomberg News）和星士頓紀事報（Houston Chronicle）等許多知名報社都報導了馬克在法庭上的成功以及他的訴訟觀點。他亦是各種廣播和電視網路的新聞和商業節目常客。
***
馬克是位美國訴訟律師，經過35年以上的職業生涯，已是北美最著名的律師之一，他的審判成功案例成為許多文章和書籍題材的靈感來源。
由於工作性質，若有合適的工具能在法庭上呈現證物資料給陪審團觀看，對馬克來說相當重要，他特別重視攜帶方便和使用效率這兩項特點。在使用愛比科技產品之前，一直很難找到切合心意的工具。馬克說，在遇到愛比科技之前，使用過其他視訊攝影產品。有些體積笨重、攜帶不變，而方便攜帶的則解析度低於愛比科技的視訊教學/協作攝影機。其他品牌產品的確有其優點，但已經不符合時代需求。
馬克藍尼爾 (Mark Lanier) 使用愛比科技 VZ-X 無線教學攝影機向觀眾展示註釋
愛比科技視訊教學/協作攝影機讓馬克能流暢的與陪審團互動，呈現更專業而完整的簡報，分享資訊的方式更進化。
「改用愛比科技的產品後，在很多方面帶來很大改變。首先，產品的高解析度呈現驚人畫質，與高畫質螢幕搭配使用也沒有問題。 IPEVO 免費軟體提供出色及專業的影像編輯功能。軟體介面非常直覺好操作，幾分鐘之內就能熟練使用。此外，愛比科技產品有一款具備無線功能的機種，還在使用電源線就已經過時了。無線功能的機種電池壽命長，產品整體非常輕巧。最後，由於相機鏡頭可以旋轉，因此我將愛比科技產品當成方便攜帶的攝影機。曾經在演講的時候，將愛比科技視訊教學攝影機鏡頭上下反轉，便能夠展示天花板上的壁畫。」
愛比科技 VZ-X 的內建LED燈使馬克即使在黑暗環境中也能清楚地看到他的内容
在馬克將愛比科技產品列為工作必需品後，他表示將向其他專業人士推薦愛比科技：
「我已經向數千人推薦愛比科技。我至少每週都會使用到愛比科技的產品，例如在有著成千上萬聽眾的演講場合、網路上發表的演講、以及在法庭中。我使用愛比科技是因為它是我簡報、演講的最佳工具。因此很自然地，我讓所有認識的人都知道愛比科技的產品。我在每場教授人們簡報、演講技巧的研討會中，告訴他們去買一台愛比科技產品吧，它將會改變他們的工作！」

Monitor all clients’ backups in the Cloud
Monitor all clients’ backups in the Cloud
14.06.2021 Nyon – Actiphy is simplifying the monitoring of backup jobs with a new online portal designed mainly for IT Resellers and Managed Service Providers. Actiphy Portal Service (APS) has been specially designed with IT Channel Partners in mind, to monitor clients’ backup infrastructure and generate reports from a single location on the web. It is a free!
Actiphy Portal Service is a powerful cloud-based help for IT Partners’ daily management of backup tasks. This tool is free of charge and does not require users from switching to more expensive backup licences, as other backup and DR competitors often require.
Service Providers who already use ServerEYE, Solarwind (Acmeo), PRTG Pässler or others to monitor their systems, should continue to use their Remote Monitoring and Management tools as they inspect all areas outside of backup. Should technicians wish to know more details about backup tasks, they can get more information with the APS console. A perfect synergy!
The missing piece for IT Resellers and MSPs.
The existing local console is taken to the Cloud with APS and IT Partners no longer need to use VPN connections to monitor all their clients.
APS completes the Business Continuity offering of Actiphy. It is the perfect addition to the latest free adds-on from Actiphy: automated backup testing (creation, consistency, and backup file bootability) as backup isolation which protects backup files from being encrypted by ransomware once they have been created. With the additional APS Cloud-based portal, SMBs are offered a complete Business Continuity solution at a very affordable price. SMBs have all the tools to protect their data and assets in this post-pandemic time.
IT Channel partners who do not yet use a Remote Monitoring and Management tool to centrally monitor backups of all their clients now have a free option to do so with Actiphy Portal Service.
How to get Actiphy Portal Service?
Register to Actiphy Portal Service beta programme on the following link: https://landings.actiphy.eu/en/missing-piece
No specific system requirements are needed to use Actiphy Portal Service and all ActiveImage Protector agentless and agent-based clients with a direct https internet access to the cloud-based portal location can be monitored.
What can you already do with Actiphy Portal Service?
- – Dashboard: General information about the status of agents and storage, and any problems that may have been detected in the past 7 days.
- – Sites: Create a site to group agents for reporting purposes. The portal was designed with MSP resellers in mind, each site can represent a physical location of agents to be managed, or a company.
- – Users: Create, remove or temporarily disable users. The current beta version only supports creating users of the type “Admin”.
- – Licencing: general state of agent licenses and get an overview of license status.
What is the future of Actiphy Portal Service?
The full version will be released after having taken into considerations all feedback received during beta-testing.
Once the full version is release, the Japanese head-quarter of Actiphy plans to continue developing APS and to make it more of a management console in the future, with installing, upgrading, and configuring everything from the Cloud. Exciting time ahead!

Scale Computing Partners with Distributor KSG to Deliver Edge Computing in Japan
Indianapolis – June 9, 2021 – Scale Computing, a market leader in edge computing, virtualization and hyperconverged solutions, announced KSG, a leading technology distributor in Japan, is now offering the Scale Computing HE150 appliance, powered by Intel® technology. The partnership between Scale Computing and KSG enables organizations to deploy edge computing solutions where existing legacy technologies are frequently too complex and expensive to meet their needs.

The cutting-edge construction and connectivity comes with an extremely small form factor. It consumes a small amount of power, offers ease of installation and an ability to rapidly add devices that scale up rapidly, along with the reliability needed for edge computing and IoT applications.
“A growing number of distributed organizations require infrastructure at the edge of the network, specifically at sites where there are limited IT staff available.

Built specifically for sites that need highly available infrastructure, the HE150 can be deployed almost anywhere, without requiring a rack or server closet. Taking up only the space needed to stack three smartphones, it also includes high availability clustering, rolling upgrades and integrated data protection.
“We’re thrilled to partner with KSG to bring the HE150 edge computing platform to the Japanese market,” said Jeff Ready, CEO and co-founder of Scale Computing. “We have created an alliance strategy with KSG based on the market conditions and business customs specific to Japan and are honored to have them as our go-to-market partner in the region. As technology pushes its way into every part of business, the need for edge computing to support an application-driven world is expanding. The award-winning HC3 Edge technology brings simple, available, and affordable infrastructure for applications in places where IT resources are impossible,” Ready continued.
