訊連科技與日本CAC合作 協助三井物產全球物流導入搭人臉辨識及體溫量測解決方案

【2021年06月24日,台北訊】 世界級AI臉部辨識技術開發商訊連科技(5203.TW)宣佈與日本合作CAC公司(株式会社シーエーシー,簡稱CAC)開發之健康檢測解決方案,獲三井物產全球物流公司(三井物産グローバルロジスティクス株式会社,簡稱MGL)採用,於2020年11月起,導入採用FaceMe® AI人臉辨識引擎開發之健康監測安控解決方案,提供人臉辨識及體溫量測之應用。

為了避免COVID-19病毒的傳播及管理員工的健康狀況,MGL於位在橫濱市的本牧第一流通中心安裝了由CAC開發、採用FaceMe®技術的健康監測解決方案。該方案主要安裝於員工於工作及休息時間會經過的主要出入口,進行200-300名員工的體溫量測,並透過人臉辨識辨別身分、及記錄量測時間。除了提升健康監控的效率外,也可有效進行員工的健康管理。

CAC設計的解決方案係透過FLIR熱感攝影機取得溫度資訊來進行體溫量測,透過人臉辨識的整合,可準確定位受測者額頭之位置,量測其額溫,避免造成如手持熱飲時造成的誤報。而於偵測到體溫異常時,會透過電子郵件通知相關管理員。

MGL表示,此套解決方案以非接觸式的方式,有效透過人臉識別員工身分、量測體溫,並於偵測體溫異常時快速回應。早期發現有發燒或身體不適的員工,降低工作場所集體感染風險。

New channel program as a business development strategy

Ártica Pandora PFMS launches a new channel program for partners as a key element in its business development strategy.

Ártica Pandora PFMS, within the framework of its global growth strategy, is evolving its channel program with the firm intention of expanding its worldwide network of partners. We will do so together with companies that complement, with their knowledge of the clients’ business, the wide range of monitoring, incident management and remote management services provided byPandora FMS, Pandora FMS Remote Control and Pandora FMS ITSM products.

At Pandora FMS we understand the importance of the benefits provided by a quality service, and, therefore, we want to develop the potential of professional IT companies whose purpose is to improve their clients’ business through knowledge and proper IT infrastructure use.

Since our main objective is the service quality for the users of our solutions, we especially focus on the qualification of our partners. We know for a fact that deep knowledge of our tools increases their productivity, while reducing the time spent by technicians. Effectiveness and efficiency that are achieved through custom training, and that can reproduce the customer environment so that partner-customer integration is fast and efficient.

The new Pandora FMS channel program embraces any size of company, from service providers to MSPs, consultancies, system integrators, distributors, etc. Of course, as long as they understand the value that monitoring and knowledge of the status of the IT infrastructure provides in the positive evolution of their business.

It is a simple program, easy to understand and comply with, without any tricks or hidden conditions. Flexible, with the ability to adapt to the needs of partners and their customers. Consistent, based on many years of experience attending and understanding the particularities of the channel and always aimed at providing the maximum benefit, direct and indirect, to companies that place their trust in us.

Now Pandora FMS partners self-qualify based on their commitment on three levels: Silver, Gold and Platinum. We certify that any of the levels is perfectly qualified to represent, with guarantees, Ártica PFMS products before clients. Our channel program also contemplates complementing the small deficiencies that may arise with our own manufacturer services, of the highest level.

All of our partners will have commercial interlocutors who, listening to customer requirements, understand their needs and are able to propose the appropriate solution. Gold partners will also have a qualified and certified technical team to install and adapt our solution to the client. And, of course, Platinum partners will enjoy higher independence and a higher volume of commercial and technical resources, which will allow them much more agile response times.

For Pandora FMS, the word “partner” means commitment, so the entire company has acquired the responsibility of helping to develop the channel’s business. From our first resource to the last (technical, presale, commercial, marketing, administration…) we are all available to our partners to minimize their own needs and maximize their business generation.

Each of our collaborating partners has their idiosyncrasies and their catalog of solutions, and the success of our channel program lies in the way we adapt Pandora FMS products to said portfolio, seamlessly, so that the organization of our partners, as a whole perceives that your solutions are scaled up without the need for patches or technical or commercial efforts.

We share the path, we work on demand generation, either directly through events and campaigns for predefined clients, or indirectly through social networks, generalist and economic press, press specialized in information technology or presence in sector fairs. We actively collaborate also providing all kinds of commercial information on the product portal.

Once the need is created, we reinforce, with our presence, the work of the salespeople, both in the initial stages of validation of the opportunity, and in the realization of presentations and custom demonstrations to clients, including, depending on the demand, tests of concept or even pilots with real data. We always leave the relational initiative to our partners, to whom in no case do we discuss the ownership of the opportunity, we only stay by their side in the sales cycle, thus guaranteeing avoiding conflicts between partners that may cause image and productivity loss in end customers.

Once the agreement with the clients has been reached, we continue to be by the side of our collaborators, providing them with all those services they need to complement their training and guaranteeing the success in the project’s execution.

And we don’t stop there, because we know that the relationship with a client does not end with an installation, but that it is something alive, constantly evolving, like our products, which include improvements (releases) from three to five weeks. Our direct support, or through the partner, is able to cover, with continuous coverage, the demand of the end companies that trust us.

In short, at Pandora FMS, we take our business very seriously, as much as any company with which we have the pleasure of collaborating, and, therefore, we have chosen a simple, flexible and seasoned channel model, which allows for the money generated by the ecosystem of partners that we are creating to affect and feed it. So the services we offer, together, obtain a productive knowledge of everyone’s information technology infrastructure, and this helps businesses grow in a sustainable way with the minimum operating cost.

If you are already a Pandora FMS partner, ask us more about how to grow together and, if you are not yet, find out all the details of the new partner program and contact us. We are sure to find quick business synergies.

ESET揭露夜神模擬器供應鏈攻擊的幕後駭客組織身分

今年2月,夜神模擬器(NoxPlayer)的軟體更新機制遭到入侵,該款Android模擬器用戶全球約1.5億人,攻擊者鎖定特定少數用戶下手,對他們的電腦進行監控。

背後發動攻擊的APT駭客組織,被命名為Gelsemium,根據相關的分析結果,ESET指出,這個組織最早約於2014年開始發起攻擊行動,遭到Gelsemium攻擊的受害者,遍及東亞和中東,受害單位的類型,包含了政府機關、宗教團體、電子製造業,以及大專院校等。該組織鎖定的國家,涵蓋中國、蒙古、北韓、南韓、日本、土耳其、伊朗、伊拉克、沙烏地阿拉伯、敘利亞,以及埃及。ESET也提供入侵指標(IoC)供資安人員參考。

對於Gelsemium擅長的手法而言,ESET認為是藉由微軟Office的漏洞與釣魚郵件,來散布用來攻擊的惡意軟體,並且利用Exchange伺服器的RCE漏洞,來進行水坑式攻擊。該組織約於2020年9月發動NightScout行動(Operation NightScout),滲透了夜神模擬器的更新伺服器。ESET表示,在10萬名同時是ESET與夜神模擬器的用戶中,僅有5名收到惡意更新,他們位於臺灣、香港,以及斯里蘭卡。

除了上述攻擊事件之外,ESET也點名兩支之前被發現的惡意軟體:OwlProxy和Chrommme,可能與Gelsemium有所關連。為何這些惡意軟體與該組織有關?ESET指出,前者與Gelsemium惡意軟體的元件程式碼,雖然幾乎沒有直接關連,但他們在分析之後還是發現與該組織有關的證據。

後者則是ESET從Gelsemium生態圈調查所找到的後門程式,與前者相同的是,從程式碼的層面比對該駭客組織使用的元件,也幾乎沒有什麼關連,但Chrommme與該組織使用的Gelsevirine,都使用相同的2個C2伺服器。再者,另一個與該組織有關的證據,則是ESET也在遭受Gelsemium攻擊的組織電腦中,發現了Chrommme。

To fight ransomware hacks drain the cryptocurrency swamp

This kind of digital extortion – increasingly viewed as terrorism – would be impossible without the ability to move money around anonymously

Last month, a cybercriminal group penetrated the Colonial Pipeline. This wasn’t just “another” hack, with privacy consequences and threats on personal information. The severe results were shown instantly. Gas supply to millions of Americans was disrupted leading to a spike in gas prices and panic buying causing local fuel shortages in the southeast, and resurfacing old memories of the infamous gas crisis in the US in the late 1970s.

It becomes evident, and not for the first time, that ransomware has the potential to affect the personal lives of innocent citizens tremendously. The problem is worsening by the day as groups improve their ransomware code and collect easy money.

The US authorities responded – a national cyber investigative task force was formed and last night, DOJ told Reuters that US authorities will “give ransomware hacks similar priority as terrorism”. This begs the question, however: will it be possible to stop ransom hacks without treating its originator?

The fact is we’re not looking at this problem holistically. There is one factor making this problem possible, and systemic: cryptocurrency. Ransomware hacks thrive due to the possibility to transfer cryptocurrency easily, rapidly and without leaving traces. The criminals are not required to deal with complex transfers. Gone are the days where hostage-takers demand one million dollars in small-unranked-paper-bills, with a jet on the runway ready to take them to some foreign land where there’s no extradition agreement. All they need is a Bitcoin address, Monero, or ZCash, and a few command lines – and voila – the money lands safely at the hands of the criminals. It’s almost a sterile crime.

In fact, those money transfer machines enable the prosperity of a global crime industry, fueled by corporate extortion funds. For instance, in the case of the Colonial Pipeline, despite the involvement of the FBI and the law authorities, a five million dollar ransom was paid in order to free the systems. Some of the funds were recovered, in an unprecedented operation, and yet, the damage remained.

This is not pocket change. Each win – no matter how financially lucrative – builds on itself and gives these cybercriminals more confidence to fuel the next attack. For example, in dark web forums the phenomenon of “ransomware hack as a service” is gaining popularity, and criminals are offering ransomware for rent. The thieves have become so contented, that they are allowing others to use their tools, while they’re resting safely as ordinary software vendors.

In order to stop terror, we have to stop its funding. However, when it comes to ransomware hacks there is still no internalization of the fact that strict limitations should be put on its primary funding source – cryptocurrencies. The promise for liberty and freedom from censorship made by theoreticians in this field are shattered daily, and instead of a paradise for innocent civilians, we’re left with the opposite – a utopia for criminals. In fact, untraceable cryptocurrencies are the swamp in which the disease of ransomware flourish.

This swamp must be dried up. If governments around the world seriously intend to stop the phenomenon of ransomware hacks, they have to put strict limitations on money transfers via crypto currencies. They must supervise cryptocurrencies the same way they do with cash, bank transfers, diamonds or weapons. Countries should demand users to expose their money sources and prevent them from doing major deals not conducted through the supervised international banking system.

Governments should also implement methods of tracking cryptocurrencies and sound the alarm when illegal activity is detected. If they cannot decide on or implement a system to administer this, governments should consider the unpopular step of complete prohibition of holding and trading cryptocurrency. Drying up of the funding sources for these attacks may be the only viable approach to stop their continued proliferation. If we do not take immediate action to dry those swamps, we will find ourselves in the near future too weak and too ill to recover.

Software Patching: Art or Science?

Malware exists to exploit vulnerabilities that are discovered in software. Patches exist to fix those vulnerabilities. Therefore, why do many vulnerabilities remain unpatched? Why is patch management so complicated? Is software patching an art or science?
