iFormBuilder Partners with Socket Mobile and Klipfolio for Cyber Defense - Published on 04/30/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zerion Software, Inc. participated in the 2013 National CyberWatch Center Mid-Atlantic Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC). Collegiate cyber-defenders worked to protect a mock national democratic election against expert computer hackers. Zerion Software provided eight iPads, running the iFormBuilder mobile platform with the iForm Kiosk App. Using Socket Mobile scanners, participants were able to scan their Voter ID Card and vote. Klipfolio provided real-time election results.

Herndon, Virginia - Zerion Software, Inc., the creator of the iFormBuilder mobile platform, participated in the 2013 National CyberWatch Center Mid-Atlantic Regional Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition (CCDC). Held at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) in Laurel, Maryland on April 10-13, collegiate cyber-defenders worked to protect a mock national democratic election against expert computer hackers.

"The CCDC really shows these students what it's like to protect a network from a coordinated, malicious cyberattack," said Casey O'Brien, director of the National CyberWatch Center at Prince George's Community College (MD). "It's a phenomenal educational experience that's also teaching them what it's like out there in the cybersecurity world."

Zerion Software provided eight iPads, running iForm Kiosk, allowing participants to vote in the mock election. Using Socket Mobile CHS barcode scanners, participants scanned their Voter ID Card and voted on the factitious country's president, flag, animal, and local congressional representative. Using the iFormBuilder mobile platform with the iForm Kiosk App, participants scanned their voter card information with the Socket scanner to easily populate voter information and then proceeded to vote. The data was passed securely to the Cloud to allow for real-time results.

"Socket Mobile is proud to have our CHS barcode scanner featured with iFormBuilder's electronic voting iPad app at the Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition," said Mike Gifford, executive vice president of Socket Mobile. "iFormBuilder is Socket Mobile's leading software partner offering Apple MFi approved solutions on the Apple App Store customized for our barcode scanners, and the electronic voting system is another great example of the broad range of web applications made possible by iFormBuilder's easy-to-use platform."

By integrating with Klipfolio, real time election results were displayed on large monitors minutes after the votes were captured.

"People have an insatiable appetite for data - they want more data, they want data to be easy to access, and they want that data now," says Allan Wille, President of Klipfolio. "The integration between iFormBuilder and Klipfolio addresses this challenge. On one hand, iFormBuilder makes it easy to collect and share data using mobile devices; on the other hand, Klipfolio takes that data and presents it on beautiful real-time dashboards."

Eight teams of college students competed for the mid-Atlantic regional title during competition: Anne Arundel Community College (MD), Capitol College (MD), Craven Community College (NC), Millersville University (PA), North Carolina State University, Radford University (VA), University of Maryland at College Park, and University of Maryland University College. The winning team, Millersville University, moved on to the National CCDC in San Antonio.

Dolly Drive Webinar: Solving the backup challenge of big data - Published on 05/01/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Backing up virtual machines like Parallels, Fusion, or any big data items like Aperture, iPhoto & iTunes libraries can be painful. Dolly Drive makes even the largest online backups quick and easy. Join us on Wednesday, May 1 at 12:30PM Eastern for our latest "15 Minutes with..." and learn how Dolly Drive handles big data. The 15-minute web sessions show Dolly Drive users how to make best use of the app's backup & storage capabilities when using multiple Apple Macs and iOS devices.

New York, New York - Dolly Drive, makers of online backup and cloud storage for Mac computers, will showcase how Dolly Drive handles even the biggest backups in the latest installment of their webinar series "15 Minutes with..." this Wednesday, May 1, at 12:30pm ET. The fifteen minute web session will show Dolly Drive users how to securely backup even large files such as virtual machines and photo and music libraries.

Dolly Drive is an award-winning application and cloud storage service built specifically for backup and cloud productivity in the Apple ecosystem.

As music and media libraries become exponentially larger, and virtual machines become more common using applications like Parallels and Fusion, Mac users need a way to quickly and easily backup large data files. While other solutions re-write entire files for even the smallest changes, Dolly Drive's incremental backup saves time, processing power, and bandwidth by backing up incrementally. In this webinar, we'll walk users through the process, and Dolly team members will be on hand to answer questions relating to our backup technologies, and best-practices for dealing with large files.

Originally heralded for bringing Apple's Time Machine backup software to the cloud, Dolly Drive recently released it's own platform which integrates the first Desktop File System for Mac that runs entirely in the cloud with local syncing, automatic versioned online & local backups, and disaster recovery of an entire hard drive.
