“The industry is seeing a resurgence of tape storage deployments by organizations with growing data repositories, even if they already have disk and cloud, because tape provides the greatest storage capacity at the lowest cost per terabyte with exceptional reliability,” said Christophe Bertrand, senior industry analyst at Enterprise Strategy Group. “Tape technology, such as LTO-9, also offers unmatched air gap protection against ransomware, enabling organizations to protect their data offline and beyond the reach of malevolent threat actors.”

The new ninth generation of LTO (Linear Tape-Open) tape technology is designed for even greater data storage density and speed, providing up to 18TB of native capacity per cartridge (up to 45TB with compression*) surpassing the capacity of LTO-8 by 50 percent. Full-height LTO-9 drives deliver uncompressed transfer speeds of up to 400 MB/second, almost two times faster than current hard disk drives. In addition, LTO-9 drives are backward compatible with LTO-8 tape media, allowing users to read/write LTO-8 media.

“Today’s news of LTO-9 tape availability confirms the extensibility of this popular open format that was developed more than 20 years ago,” said Nathan Thompson, CEO and Founder of Spectra Logic. “With each generation, new features have been introduced, such as WORM, LTFS and hardware encryption. We recently made software updates for our installed base of thousands of LTO libraries to enable customers to add or upgrade to LTO-9. And since we are the first to offer a tape library – the TFinity – that can store an astounding exabyte of native data with LTO-9 drives and media, we couldn’t be more excited about the long-term prospects of LTO tape technology for our customers.”

Instnt to Launch Instnt AcceptTM, Showcasing A New Approach To Digital Customer Onboarding

Instnt announced today the launch of Instnt AcceptTM, the first fully managed customer onboarding solution with up to $100M in annual fraud loss warranty, at FinovateFall at the New York Marriott Marquis, on Monday, September 13 at 4:10 pm. During the event, Instnt will demo live Instnt AcceptTM’s capabilities and new enhanced features that help businesses with their onboarding processes.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Rodolph Barrere, Co-founder and CEO at Potloc

“We are excited to launch Instnt AcceptTM and be part of FinovateFall,” said Sunil Madhu, CEO and Founder of Instnt. “Today, a variety of self-managed customer onboarding orchestration waterfall approaches are being implemented by businesses in a game of vendor roulette. They are still not better off dealing with the ever-changing landscape of fraud risk than they were a decade ago while losing valuable top-line revenue from good customers that are rejected as a result of the inefficient approaches in place. We believe that there is a far better alternative in using a fully managed customer onboarding service to shift the problem of preventing fraud and loss liability in customer onboarding via a compliant manner: We make fraud losses our problem so businesses can focus on what they do best while creating a frictionless experience for customers.”

The people behind Instnt AcceptTM are a team of industry thought leaders, technology vendors, and public and private sector professionals headquartered in NYC, dedicated to solving all sides of the customer onboarding problem to help businesses have healthier alternatives to sign-up more—and better—customers.

4A’s & IAB Have Now Joined the ANA’s Global Day of Learning

Vibenomics Introduces New CFO

Thousands of marketers from over 70 countries, plus leading trade groups, top universities, digital platforms, brands, agencies, and media companies commit to 24-hour “tools down” period to reboot and relearn.

The ANA and the Global CMO Growth Council have called on the entire marketing industry to take a collective pause for 24-hours on September 14, 2021. Now, two vital pillars of the industry – the 4A’s and IAB – have pledged their support and commitment, which officially makes the industry “all-in” on a reset across every sector of marketing.

Lockdown began with everyone in the industry looking out for each other through 2020 – clients and agencies ensuring each other’s well-being from a health standpoint, and then through business strength. Now, they’re all coming back together again to pause and catch-up, united as an entire industry – clients, their agencies, digital and tech innovators and academia.

VIZIO and Verizon Media Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Connected TV, Omnichannel Advertising

The ANA’s membership has embraced this effort from its inception in June. “This day of learning was actually like a blinding flash of the obvious, for me,” said Heather Malenshek, CMO, Land O’Lakes. “We actually have to block people’s calendars to do this because they just never find the time…we’re going to block time, it’s that important, and put it in people’s development plans to make sure that they have accountability to get it done.”

Now it is officially a complete, industry-wide effort. The 4A’s, which provides proprietary access to the people, information, tools and training that advertising agencies need to become more successful, will be contributing learning resources that are normally exclusive to its member agencies.

“Based on our mission to advance our members’ success in helping brands create, distribute, and measure effective and insightful advertising and marketing, the 4A’s look forward to supporting ANA’s Marketing’s Global Day of Learning on September 14, 2021,” says Marla Kaplowitz, President & CEO of the 4A’s. “We welcome any opportunity like this, where we can showcase the infinite power of creativity and the value agencies bring in driving business growth and powerful cultural change as the industry moves forward together.”

The IAB, the industry benchmark for the digital advertising ecosystem, is also contributing learning resources. IAB will provide a special access pass to their IAB Fall Marketplace, a showcase of the latest opportunities for brands and media agencies in premium video content, technology, and digital platforms, and the latest trends and consumer-first strategies to find new audiences and deepen existing relationships.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Hunter Montgomery, Chief Marketing Officer at ChurnZero

“Technology has made the world such a small place, and global connectivity has never been more important,” said David Cohen, CEO, IAB. “We are pleased to be able to contribute to this global learning agenda through our Fall Marketplace event. Participants can expect education, innovation, inspiration and a celebration of digital marketing.”

The 4A’s and IAB join an unprecedented line-up of free workshops and presenters from the likes of Morning Consult, Facebook, Google, Twitter, the B2B Institute at LinkedIn, Forbes CxO Series, Microsoft, Deloitte, and Yale School of Management, and a curated catalog of sessions from top CMOs like industry leaders like Marcel Marcondes of Anheuser-Busch US, Marc Pritchard of P&G and Raja Rajamannar of Mastercard among other industry leaders.

Our mission is to align the industry and create a force for change among our most important assets – our people. It was time to “take a pause” and ensure that we were doing all we could to “train the world.” Stated Bob Liodice, CEO, ANA. “We are grateful for the participation of the 4A’s and IAB as well as from our many friends and partners from all corners of our industry. This is truly a global effort and one that we hope will become an annual event for the industry.

How Cobwebs Technologies WEBINT Platform Helps Intelligence Agencies in Their Efforts to Prevent Terror Attacks

Digital Marketing Leader, Kliken, Launches First-Of-Its-Kind Ad Network With Lifestyle Targeting

The AI-powered WEBINT platform monitors the surface, deep, and dark web to extract and analyze relevant open-source data to provide insights into potential terrorist attacks

Cobwebs Technologies announced that its AI-powered WEBINT platform helps intelligence officers and analysts with their (counter)intelligence activities to prevent terrorist attacks.

The 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington, DC by Al Qaeda shook the world, taking authorities by surprise. Looking back and analyzing how the terrorists were able to achieve this, it becomes clear that intelligence and counterintelligence played a major part. Al Qaeda at its end used gathered and analyzed information to make highly accurate and realistic assessments of its operating environment during its preparations, resulting in careful planning.

Marketing Technology News: Vericast Survey: How Deals Play a Role in Return to Pre-Pandemic Activities

In contrast, previous planned and executed attacks aimed at U.S. targets were not part of the threat analysis of Western security agencies. For example, the 1992 terror attack when a truck bomb exploded below the North Tower of the World Trade Center, killing six and injuring more than 1,000 people, was quickly forgotten. In 1997, terrorists revealed in court that they planned a bombing to topple the North Tower into the South Tower, bringing them both down with the aim of killing 250,000 Americans.

Another terrorist plot involved the assassination of Pope John Paul II during a visit to the Philipines; the blowing up of 11 airliners flying from Asia to the United States with an estimated death toll of 4,000, and crashing a rented plane full of explosives into the CIA Headquarters.

Ignoring identified threats based on (counter)intelligence comes at a high price, as the 9/11 calamity that claimed the lives of 3,000 people and cost the economy trillions of dollars in its aftermath, illustrates. Intelligence agencies do not have the manpower and budgets for keeping a contingent of security agents with the sole mandate to stop terrorist attacks. That’s why today they rely on collecting and analyzing information from various sources for their threat analyses. These sources include online sources, since terrorists use darknets and other online forums and channels for their planning, recruiting, and purchasing of resources. This requires collecting and analyzing huge amounts of web data for analysis. Also due to time restraints, intelligence agencies are turning to OSINT tools, such as the AI-Powered Web Intelligence platform of Cobwebs, to assist them in their efforts to identify imminent terrorist attacks for follow-up. Such a WEBINT platform allows intelligence officers and analysts to detect and analyze threat actors and map their hidden activity networks and behavior patterns across numerous OSINT sources.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview With George Donovan, Chief Revenue Officer at Allego

“Our leading web intelligence platform automatically extracts targeted critical insights from big data with advanced and powerful AI machine-learning algorithms. Designed to meticulously scan the surface, deep, and dark web to collect and analyze huge amounts of data in record time, the platform helps intelligence agencies with their threat analysis,” explained Udi Levy, CEO & Co-Founder at Cobwebs Technologies, “Our WEBINT platform analyzes content from OSINT websites on the surface, deep, and dark web using highly sophisticated algorithms in order to identify relevant information on e.g., message boards and social networks in various languages. The platform also presents the collected and analyzed data in user-friendly formats such as connection graphs and timelines. The platform can also generate alerts when relevant information crops up to enable faster response times in time-sensitive scenarios.”

The Cobwebs AI-powered web intelligence platform assists national security agencies in their threat intelligence efforts to prevent terrorist attacks. The platform’s predictive analytics and machine-learning algorithms collect and analyze big data, which allows intelligence officers and analysts to get comprehensive insights for making smart, data-driven decisions. The platform also employs Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms to get insight into the sentiments and intentions of (potential) terrorists and context in multiple languages.

With the WEBINT platform of Cobwebs as part of their arsenal, intelligence agencies will be better prepared in their efforts to prevent more terrorist attacks.

“This new financing provides the resources we need to grow our footprint in existing markets, expand into new markets and support the accelerating adoption of our solution. We are pleased to welcome Nitin Chopra to the board, whose experience helping to grow leading security startups will be a valuable asset.”

Traditional security products have focused on protecting underlying IT infrastructure from threats but the success of attackers in executing ransomware, supply chain and phishing attacks show that there are still significant gaps in security coverage. TrueFort fills this void, offering Zero Trust protection for enterprise applications and workloads that are the gateway to sensitive data and, increasingly, the target of attackers. The company’s Fortress platform leverages patented behavioral analysis and machine intelligence to help organizations better understand their applications’ trusted behaviors to fend off attacks in real-time.

“TrueFort addresses an unmet need for protecting modern applications and workloads with a purpose-built solution for enterprise security teams,” said Sameer Malhotra, co-founder and CEO of TrueFort. “This new financing provides the resources we need to grow our footprint in existing markets, expand into new markets and support the accelerating adoption of our solution. We are pleased to welcome Nitin Chopra to the board, whose experience helping to grow leading security startups will be a valuable asset.”

Marketing Technology News:  MarTech Interview with Gary Burtka, VP U.S. Operations at RTB House

“TrueFort is addressing a gaping blindspot in enterprise security by focusing on applications and using them to reduce a company’s attack surface and prevent data breaches,” said Nitin Chopra, Managing Director at Shasta Ventures. “Customers see immediate value in understanding how applications should and should not behave, so they can implement a Zero Trust approach that significantly reduces business risk and prevents threats from becoming major security incidents.”

TrueFort is coming off a strong year of market demand and industry accolades. The company experienced year-over-year bookings growth of 650% and a 260% growth in ARR. The company was recently named a 2021 finalist in the Black Unicorn Awards which recognize companies with the potential of being valued at $1 billion, as well as a Top 25 Cybersecurity Company, and a Red Herring North America Top 100 company. The TrueFort Fortress platform has also won multiple awards, including the 2021 Global InfoSec Award at the RSA Conference for Cutting Edge Vendor in Cloud Workload Protection and the Gold 2021 Cybersecurity Excellence Award for Cloud Workload Protection.

Cushman & Wakefield Japan has introduced Matterport’s 3D virtualization tool to provide first-class property assessment and enhanced property marketing services. The use of this virtualization tool transpired from a global agreement that Cushman & Wakefield signed with Matterport, Inc. (Nasdaq: MTTR) last year, which enabled the company to offer clients a turnkey solution to scan commercial properties in 3D across its footprint.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Bonnie Crater, CEO at Full Circle

Matterport’s AI driven visualization technology scans an existing space and reproduces it in digital form. This “digital twin” is a versatile asset within the commercial real estate industry, including in providing virtual tours of properties with detailed floor plans and a “dollhouse view”, which provides prospective buyers and tenants with a dimensionally accurate and immersive view into a space. According to Matterport, 3D virtual tours increase audience engagement by over 300% in comparison to 2D imagery. The technology helps in making better informed decisions by providing a multi-dimensional view of the venue, enabling more effective property inspection and marketing of assets.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Leasing Management Services in Japan is offering the Matterport 3D virtual experience across all its retained properties. Using Matterport, the Project Management team is also now able to help clients monitor the progress of their projects and access the digital twin online from anywhere, and at any time regardless of property or audience location. Matterport is a true virtual solution and enables Cushman & Wakefield to provide property inspections that keep clients and professionals safe during this unprecedented pandemic, eliminating the need to be present in the space physically. Because of this, Cushman & Wakefield is also able to deliver additional benefits to clients such as reduced travel and fewer visits to a property, producing overall time and cost savings which will remain relevant beyond the pandemic.

Howard Xiao, Japan Country Manager at Matterport, commented: “Japan’s commercial real estate sector is one of the most competitive, so firms must constantly differentiate to win clients. Matterport’s technology enables agents to achieve an edge through authentic, immersive and navigable 3D experiences. By leveraging Matterport’s powerful technology and insights, Cushman & Wakefield is positioning itself at the forefront of the sector’s ongoing transformation, which harnesses technology to drive deeper engagement, analysis and understanding of listings. Increasingly, clients are turning to Matterport to capture their real estate portfolios due to the significant add-on benefits realized. We are delighted to be selected by Cushman & Wakefield Japan for all of their Leasing Management mandates.”

Keiji Kato, Senior Director, Head of Leasing Advisory Group, Japan, Cushman & Wakefield, said, “We were first acquainted with the Matterport platform when we were exploring the best way of introducing properties for rent during the pandemic. Matterport allows us to conduct high quality virtual tours for our clients with its ability to produce a highly photorealistic digital replica of the actual physical space. We have now introduced this service across all the properties that we lease and manage and it has proven to be very effective in differentiating us from our competition. We believe that virtual tours will remain necessary even after the pandemic, and we will continue to use this platform as one of our key property marketing tools.”

Cushman & Wakefield continues to identify and collaborate with strategic partners to deliver innovative tools that generate deep insights and create value for our clients and has strategic partnerships across its global platform with a variety of innovative property technology organizations.

PMI-Launches-Make-Reality-Virtual-Hub-to-Inspire-People-to-Turn-Ideas-Into-Reality

Digital Experience Aims to Jumpstart Changemakers’ Postponed Goals and Dreams

Project Management Institute (PMI) launched Make Reality, a virtual hub designed to inspire and support changemakers as they drive transformation and create positive social impact across the world while navigating the COVID-19 pandemic. Telling the unique stories of changemakers – those at the forefront of driving change, personally and professionally – as they created impact in today’s project-centered world, the virtual hub empowers changemakers to get started on their next project or see a project through to the finish line that was left on hold.

Marketing Technology News: Sightly Teams with Ad Fontes Media to Increase Brands’ Comfort Factor, Protect Them from Media…

“We hope to build on this sense of excitement and optimism with our Make Reality virtual hub”

Nearly four in five consumers (79 percent) in PMI’s Make Reality Global Survey 20201 said they consider 2021 a “do-over” year due to the COVID crisis. But 83 percent said 2020 prepared them for 2021, and an even greater number (86 percent) plan to work harder this year to bring their good ideas to life.

“The pandemic disrupted countless 2020 plans, but many leaders and innovative thinkers used the time wisely to map out their next moves,” said PMI Chief Operating Office Mike DePrisco. “As more communities and organizations across the globe cautiously turn to recovery and revival, teams are increasingly focused on turning their stalled projects into reality. However, making that idea a reality isn’t easy and requires effective project skills and new ways of working; that’s why PMI is empowering changemakers to take action through the Make Reality virtual hub.”

From KICKOFF™ to Power Skills

The PMI virtual hub features videos and true stories of changemakers across the globe turning their ideas into reality – from creating biodegradable batteries for electric vehicles in India to restoring animal habitats following the Australian wildfires. The hub also connects changemakers to PMI tools, resources, and courses on project management best practices, including KICKOFF – a free, 45-minute digital course and toolkit that guides learners through the basics of project management with bite-sized content and downloadable templates they can quickly implement on the job.

The Make Reality virtual hub also helps project management professionals and non-professionals identify their unique changemaker persona and offers information about the “power skills” or social behaviors – like communications, empathy, collaborative leadership, and an innovative mindset – that are important in driving change and allow people to work well together to get things done. They complement the technical or vocational skills required and can often spell the difference between a project’s success or failure.

Research Offers Reasons for Optimism

The vast majority of changemakers are open to learning new skills. According to the PMI survey, 81 percent of consumers plan to learn new skills to bring their projects to life. Nearly three-quarters (73 percent) plan to take a more active role in driving change, and 66 percent are optimistic about their ability to be successful.

Consumers are bringing similar ambitions – and a certain adventurous spirit – to their professional lives. Over two in ten (22 percent) are interested in starting their own business, and a similar number (22 percent) want to start a new job. They are also interested in increasing their level of responsibility on the job (28 percent) and learning new, job-related skills (31 percent).

Among these are power skills like creativity (35 percent), communication (38 percent), and collaboration/teamwork (25 percent), as well as project management skills themselves (24 percent)2.

“We hope to build on this sense of excitement and optimism with our Make Reality virtual hub,” DePrisco said. “We believe there’s a pent-up desire to make change and to have impact in all spheres of peoples’ lives – personal, professional, and in the realm of social good. Our goal is to give people the tools – and a bit of inspiration – to get started.”

The new platform powers market research that enables every business to know its audience

GWI, the leading target audience insight company, today launches its brand-new platform that challenges the status quo in market research. The multi-million dollar investment into the new platform provides access to transformational insights, in a meaningful and visual way. Arming employees with one, consistent in-depth view of their global or local audience, the new capabilities power strategic decisions and enable deep understanding of diverse and evolving audiences.

Marketing Technology News: Martech Interview with Amy D. Love, CMO of SambaNova Systems

The new platform makes it easy to be an expert on your audience with smart tools that make it simple to explore available datasets. Users are now able to rapidly access deep insights, answering the questions that matter most to make key business decisions based on facts they can trust. It aids businesses to be truly data-driven by putting accessible insights and bespoke dashboards into the hands of everyone across the organization – from decision makers in the C-suite to data analysts, researchers and marketers.

Tom Smith, CEO and Founder at GWI comments, “The new platform enables a new dawn for the future of marketing research, ensuring it is suited for today’s environment which consists of rapid change of pace for business and consumers. Our data shows that 72%* of professionals globally agree that being able to adapt quickly is critical to their company’s long term success. Yet, the traditional market research industry has utterly failed the needs of its customers in today’s global marketplace – a world where almost 5 billion people are permanently connected online. Uncovering really transformative insight isn’t easy, nor is it always ‘on time’. Traditional research often takes several months, and can be delayed throughout the process. Despite heavy investment, the insights can therefore quickly become outdated, whilst putting market research out of reach for nearly every single organisation.

Marketing Technology News: HyperX Signs Professional Tennis Player Daniil Medvedev as Global Brand Ambassador

“With our new platform combined with our tried and tested methodology, you can secure insights and answers in an instant versus a drawn out process, at a fraction of the traditional market research cost. At the same time, you can ensure organizational alignment, meaning everyone is working from a single source of truth – to tell the same story, inform the decisions that matter and deliver impactful results.”

The intuitive new platform provides access to the world’s largest harmonized ongoing study on digital consumers, representing 2 billion people globally. Users of the flagship survey, GWI Core, alone can gather insights from over 40,000 data points, from over 800,000 interviews. The new platform will foster smarter business decisions and outcomes using hyper-targeted insights into any consumer group, in local and global markets.

Amplification of Brand Mentality™ Platform with Media Reliability and Bias Intelligence Strengthens Marketers’ Ability to Make Safe, Responsible Decisions Dynamically

Sightly, a leading marketing tech and services company recognized for its groundbreaking Brand Mentality™ platform, and Ad Fontes Media, the leader in media bias intelligence and creator of the Media Bias Chart, today announced a strategic partnership.

Marketing Technology News: MarTech Interview with Hannah Stewart, VP Marketing at Zeotap

Dealing with rampant misinformation and ensuring responsible media practices are some of the biggest challenges that brands face today. The Sightly/Ad Fontes Media partnership brings to market the power to assess, decide and activate the foundational requirements of “brand safety and suitability” around news, opinion and similar content with speed and at scale.

“Both our companies feel that brands deserve to know what they are buying so they can make decisions in real-time about where their messages and media dollars are running in today’s fast-changing environment,” said Adam Katz, Sightly Chief Revenue Officer and GM.

“There’s so much noise in the media landscape now that legacy tools can’t keep up,” added Vanessa Otero, CEO and Founder of Ad Fontes. “The mission we’re on together is to help brands know what they’re walking into so they can determine how to respond.”

Sightly’s proprietary technology gives brands a mega advantage over competitors—the intelligence to instantly respond in a consistent, authentic way to the constant, rapid changes in today’s world. Its Brand Mentality platform fuses each brand’s unique DNA with state-of-the-art AI and NLP algorithms to identify specific signals from the constant flood of data and recommend real-time actions that avoid threats or seize marketing opportunities.

Ad Fontes Media delivers unmatched responsible media intelligence by rating news content for reliability and bias using a rigorous, non-partisan methodology. The company provides social media giants, media buyers and others with access to comprehensive news source rating data through its powerful Ad Apex™ solution suite.

Marketing Technology News: CoinDesk Positions Itself for Long-Term Growth With Migration To Arc XP

Prior to the last US election, a study published by CHEQ and the University of Baltimore revealed that fake news was costing the global economy $78 billion each year. Other studies reveal that trust and values heavily influence consumer purchase behavior. According to Edelman, three out of five consumers now buy from brands based on trust and two-thirds of consumers worldwide now buy on beliefs.

Together, Sightly and Ad Fontes turn these challenges into opportunities: Ad Fontes identifies misinformation that is typically difficult to access, trust and hard to act on. Sightly gives brands the ability to define what they believe and amplifies its own signals with Ad Fontes data across multiple digital platforms, making them more safe and suitable.

Ad Fontes Media enhances Sightly’s Brand Mentality platform by:

  • Finding online misinformation affecting brands that other solutions miss and feeding the platform’s Anticipation Software™ that filters massive social, cultural and traditional data streams,
  • Contributing scenarios about fake news, political bias, etc. for the Brand Mentality profile instrument that defines each brand’s unique DNA,
  • Boosting reach of the platform’s rapid inclusion/exclusion List Builder solution across more media sources, including programmatic Web, publisher direct properties, podcasts, CTV, etc., and
  • Strengthening media activations by bringing considerably increased protection to WFA’s GARM framework for brand safety and suitability that is built into Brand Mentality.

Through this integration and amplification, brands, agencies and ad technology companies can be confident that when they use Brand Mentality to make real-time, rapid-fire marketing decisions in response to social moments, news, trends, etc., their messages won’t accidentally end up somewhere contrary to their brand’s values, such as on polarizing or misleading articles or YouTube videos. Better yet, they can use this intelligence to confidently lean into news coverage and content that actively aligns with their mentality.
