1MORE Announces Partnership With High-End Audio Distributor To Bring New Bluetooth® Over-Ear And Active In-Ear Sports Models To Canadian Market
1MORE USA, a consumer audio company and makers of the highly lauded Triple Driver In-Ear Headphones has partnered with high-end audio distributor Nexus International to meet demand in the Canadian market.
SAN DIEGO and TORONTO, Oct. 28, 2016 /CNW/ -- 1MORE, a premier consumer electronics audio company, has recently begun selling two new Bluetooth models to the North American market. The new models include the iBFree Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones and the MK802 Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones. These new headphones will round out an already successful lineup of six in-ear and over-ear headphones. To meet demand for the new products in Canada and expand on the success of their core products, 1MORE has now partnered with Canadian high-end audio distributor, Nexus International. 1MORE will join Nexus International as an exhibitor at the TAVES consumer electronics expo in Toronto, Ontario October 28(th) through October 30(th).
After a successful launch of the new products earlier in the year, 1MORE sees this move as necessary to broaden their reach to all parts of the North American market. "With this partnership we now have a seamless, integrated distribution model in North America that includes Canada," says CEO Dave Russell, adding, "This is a win-win for us and our customers, who can now purchase 1MORE products at more convenient locations." "Adding 1MORE to our distribution channels was a no-brainer for us," says Peter Fan of Nexus International, adding, "1MORE's core values of designing high quality, affordable audio products, aligns with our mission to connect consumers with high-end audio manufacturers."
The two new Bluetooth models come at a time when Bluetooth devices are being accepted into everyday life. 1MORE's new models use CRS Bluetooth 4.1 chips with aptX® coding technology, which provides meticulous sound quality and a stable wireless option for consumers who want freedom from wires. Millennials and "Cord-Cutters" are pushing the market towards wireless options, and 1MORE has not only recognized this shift but has responded with new products. The new Bluetooth models will feature all the quality and value 1MORE is known for - only now free of cables. "They're the first Bluetooth headphones I've used where I couldn't tell they were wireless," says VP of Sales Tim Burton, going on to say, "even the talk quality is far superior without the common echo of other Bluetooth headphones."
The new MK802 Bluetooth Over-Ear Headphones feature rare Beryllium drivers for an exceptionally comprehensive sound with a durable, lightweight, and stylish titanium alloy exterior. The MK802s have a "Bass Level," switch on the ear cup for those who want bass highlighted or limited, as well as optional hearing protection to reduce hearing loss and fatigue. In addition, the MK802s can be used with the 1MORE app, which allows you to control hearing protection, assign controllable apps, and more. The MK802s feature controls on the ear-cup including a MEMS microphone for crystal clear calls, all compatible with Apple iOS and Android. Combine this with up to 15 hours of playback time and you have the freedom to take your music anywhere, The MK802 will be available in red and blue and retails for $149.99 USD.
1MORE's iBFree Bluetooth In-Ear Headphones feature extremely lightweight aluminum alloy earpieces with Bluetooth 4.1 aptX coding, oblique angled ergonomic comfort, and titanium dynamic drivers. The iBFree's unique stylish design is also IPX4 rated water-resistant against rain, spills, and sweat. Designed for the active consumer, the iBFrees feature up to 240 hours of standby time and 8 hours of play time, perfect for your run, workout, or other outdoor adventures. The iBFrees also feature in-line controls and a MEMS microphone for crystal clear calls compatible with Apple iOS and Android. The lightweight design, various sized ear tips and sport grips, and adjustable clip ensure a secure fit for rigorous activities. The iBFree will come in vibrant red, space gray, aqua blue, and apple green and retails for only $59.99 USD.
As with their previous line, all three models were expertly tuned by internationally acclaimed Grammy winning Luca Bignardi. 1MORE's commitment to a naturally balanced sound, without the harsh bass and treble boosting prevalent with other brands, produces a fully satisfying listening experience without the need for unhealthy volume levels. "1MORE truly wants you to hear what your favorite artists intended you to hear," says Director of Brand David Kellogg adding, "The goal of any great technology is to disappear so there's nothing between you and your music."
Corporate Trend
1MORE's approach has broken the unspoken rule in the headphone market - that high-quality headphones must be expensive and affordable headphones are poorly designed. 1MORE is challenging the status quo by creating superior quality headphones at surprisingly affordable prices using proprietary patented designs and manufacturing.
Nexus International specializes in connecting high-end audio consumers to high-end audio manufacturers. From this partnership, 1MORE and Nexus International now make up the components for an ongoing successful international team.
The products are available for sale on Amazon, London Drugs, Headphone Bar, and very shortly in Canada Computers.
ABOUT 1MORE USA
1MORE USA, established in August of 2014, was the brainchild of President, Dave Russell, and VP, Tim Burton, who leveraged their knowledge of the consumer technology industry and overseas sourcing experience to partner with 1MORE China. Their combined purpose is to bring 1MORE China's proven successful approach to consumer audio product design and development to the North American market. "Our goal is to occupy a new space in the world's audio market by giving our users quality, affordability, style, and community," says 1MORE China's CEO and Founder, Gary Hsieh. 1MORE China was founded in 2013 by Hsieh, a former Foxconn executive who was instrumental in producing products like the Kindle and iPod. Disillusioned with low-value contract manufacturing, Hsieh wanted to develop a unique brand that would dispel the belief that products made-in-China couldn't be of both excellent quality and value. From this idea 1MORE was born.

The larger display phone is the perfect balance between productivity and a best in class device to capture videos, incredible audio and regular and wide-angle photos.
Capturing Post-Worthy Videos
When it comes to video recording, the V20's Steady Record 2.0 helps neutralize shaky images using both electronics image stabilization (EIS) built into Qualcomm® Snapdragon(TM) 820 processor. And because high quality video wouldn't be high quality without audio to match, the V20 captures audio using similar formats to those used in professional video equipment.
The V20 not only records Hi-Fi audio but also supports optimal playback with its Hi-Fi Quad DAC to minimize distortion and noise - powered by ESS, the technology is a first to appear in a smartphone. Its HD Audio Recorder also gives users the power to create studio-quality style recordings using three high Acoustic Overload Point (AOP) microphones.
Setting the Standard for Cameras
While some make claims of their camera quality, the LG V20 features a standard and wide angle lens on both the front and the back of the camera. The V20 can take wide-angle photographs with rear-facing 135-degree and front-facing 120-degree lens. What's more, Hybrid Auto Focus delivers optimal picture sharpness while Auto Shot simplifies selfies with a face detection feature that triggers the shutter.
Tasty Inside and Out
Inside, the V20 is the world's first smartphone to offer Android 7.0 Nougat preloaded, right out of the box. It is also the first to include Google's In Apps search feature.
On the outside, the V20 blends chic style with durability through the use of lightweight AL6013 aluminum alloy, while the top and bottom contact points are composed of Silicone Polycarbonate (Si-PC). The V20 also passed the United States military's MIL-STD 810G Transit Drop Test for durability.
Not All Smartphones Are the Same
"In a world where our smartphones are with us at the most important times, you need a device you can trust, both from a design and build perspective, as well as the ability to capture the magic of the spectacular moments that make up every day," said Chang Ma, President of LG Electronics MobileComm USA. "The LG V20 takes everything we love about Android and the best qualities of other mobile devices and then elevates them to a whole new level - giving consumers the best option on the market when looking for their next smartphone."

Reunion Blues Raises The Bar With New RB Continental Voyager Series Guitar Cases
PETALUMA, Calif., Oct. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- When we "launched" the RB Continental back in 2008 (literally, from the top of a three story building) we had no idea that we'd be the vanguard of a new era in protective cases that would transform the expectations of professional and hobbyist musicians all over the world. With the RB Continental Voyager series, we're excited to up the ante once again.
We've refined and revised our shock absorbing and impact-resistant Flexoskeleton(TM) with an efficient internal structure that maintains our high standard of protection while reducing weight and bulk dramatically. We've further articulated our custom-milled exterior fabric with a durable, modern, and water resistant Black Heather texture that wears well and looks great. We've also redesigned the interior bracing system with an adjustable neck block and the addition of user-configurable protector pads at the endpin.
All the great ergonomic features of the original RB Continental are evident and even improved in the new Voyager series. Our Zero-G(TM) handle still feels as weightless as ever, but we've added an edge seam to improve longevity and durability. Our adjustable, hideaway backpack is even more comfortable than ever.
Most importantly, we've consistently maintained our high standards for quality craftsmanship that we established back in the 1970s when we created the first professionally accepted gig bag. We use industrial-grade high-tensile thread, reversed water-resistant zippers, abrasion and scuff resistant corded edges and seam, EVA backed material, and internally reinforced structure in those high stress areas. Best of all, we back this up with the peace of mind that comes from an industry leading limited lifetime warranty.
Often imitated, but never equaled, the RB Continental Voyager guitar case will protect your axe in style for years to come.
Founded in 1976, Reunion Blues is the music industry's premier gig bag and instrument case company. Reunion Blues offers an extensive product selection including over 70 models of stands, cases and bags for fretted, brass, woodwind, strings and percussion instruments.
Reunion Blues is dedicated to maintaining exceptional quality, and is committed to product innovation, superior design and distinguished style.

Actywell's Headphones' Patented Technology Matches Heart Rate to MusicÂ
ONE is a brand new way to experience music, analyzing your heart rate to find the
right songs. The slick headphones come with an app that analyzes your bio state and picks
the next song for you, allowing you to focus more, whether at work or on a run.
The intelligent algorithms of ONE by Actywell tune into the subtle changes in the
heart rate and, depending on that, suggest an appropriate tune. Behind this approach is
ONE's psychological team that continuously test the patented algorithms to find harmony
between the listener and their music library. In particular, the team focuses on music's
calming effect and the way ONE can be used to help people in stressful situations.
Chris Chan, Co-Founder of Actywell, comments: "We wanted to bring people closer to
music, to help them match their favorite songs to the moment they're in. Because of this,
we came up with the ONE by Actywell. Not only does this technology bring a new way to
experience music but it also helps reduce stress thanks to its machine learning software.
From finding the right motivational tracks to fuel your workout to finding the most 'zen'
music to help you relax, we're hoping to change the way we listen to music."
Key features of the ONE by Actywell include:Â
- Plug and play - no charging, no pairing, no fuss!
- Built in heart rate and motion sensors
- Music pairing
- Relaxation and sports profiles
- Hi Res digital audio- 24 Bit 48Khz and noise isolation
- Bespoke, customizable skins with personalized logos
- Measure your stress levels and show you your stress level improvements
Featuring a beautiful and ergonomic design, ONE Ex is inspired by retro-tech
aesthetic. Built with copper, zinc and environmentally friendly genuine Italian grade high
quality leather, they look fitting both in the workplace and at the gym. Edd Gash,
Co-Founder at Actywell, explains further: "What makes our manufacturing method radically
different is that we use the "cast offs" from factories making products such as the highly
coveted Gucci and Prada leather goods and use those materials to make the headphones. So,
you could potentially have headphones made from the same leather as, say, a Prada
handbag."

PlayStation(TM) Vue Now Available on Sony's Android(TM) TVs
Enjoy live TV content from the most popular sports, movie and TV channels, without an annual contract.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Electronics announced today the Internet-based live TV service PlayStation(TM) Vue is now available on all Sony's premium Android(TM) TVs. PlayStation Vue gives consumers a better option to watch their favorite live TV, movies and sports content without a cable or satellite subscription. PlayStation Vue provides simultaneous streaming on a variety of devices from a single account, and allows viewers to save thousands of hours of their favorite shows without recording conflicts on PlayStation Vue's innovative cloud DVR.
"The launch of PlayStation Vue on our premium Sony Android TVs demonstrates our continuing commitment to customer choice. If owners of Sony Android TVs are ready to cut the cord - or just want to give streaming services a try - they can download the PlayStation Vue app from Google Play(TM) store today." said Mike Fasulo, President and COO of Sony Electronics.
PlayStation Vue is available today on all sizes of the Sony Android TV models X700D, X750D, X800D, X850D, X930D, X940D, Z9D. PlayStation Vue plans start at $29.99 per month; $39.99 in cities with most major live local broadcast stations.* With an Internet connection and a PlayStation Vue-supported device, there are no additional fees, such as monthly set-top box fees, or long term contracts.

Sony 4K HDR Ultra HD TVs
Sony's exclusive user interface for Android TV lets viewers explore a world of movies, music, photos, games, search, apps and more. TV lovers can watch hit shows and timeless movies from Google Play and share content from a smartphone or tablet, from their TV. And with Google Cast(TM), users can cast their favorite entertainment apps such as HBO GO from their Android or iOS device, Mac or Windows computer or Chromebook to the TV. In addition, Android TV's Voice Search feature has been enhanced to support natural language voice actions and longer, more complex sentences.
"Most wireless headphones try to pack a lot of features in a small space and unfortunately often end up sacrificing sound quality and Bluetooth reliability. We engineered an advanced antenna design for the most reliable Bluetooth wireless connection possible and delivered our SOL REPUBLIC signature sound with big deep bass and amazing clarity," said Kevin Lee, Senior Vice President of SOL REPUBLIC.
Amps Air are small and ultra light but still deliver up to three hours of music playtime. They come with a sleek, portable charging case, which recharges Amps Air more than 15 times. With a built in 2200maH battery and USB port it doubles as portable charger for your phone, something everyone seems to need these days.
Amps Air is contoured to fit the ear and wrapped in a silicone sleeve with futuristically designed tapered grooves that not only gives Amps Air a striking look, but also grips the ear like treads on a tire for a comfortable yet secure fit. The grooves also allows airflow to reduce sweat build up. The result is a headphone that is secure enough for workouts yet comfortable enough to wear all day without the wiring or pain associated with traditionally bulkier headphones.
For quick use, the headphones automatically turn on when you remove them from the case and turn off and recharge when you place them back in. Users can also choose to only connect one earbud for mono sound, a great option for people, like commuters, who want to hear their surroundings as well as their music.
Users can control their music and their calls, without rummaging around for their phone. From picking up, declining, or taking a second call, to activating Siri® voice recognition software or Google Voice Search(TM) service, all can be done with the touch of the multi-function button.
"Truly wireless headphones are essentially wearables, meaning they have to look good when you wear them, feel comfortable enough to wear all day, sweat resistant for workouts, and in the case of headphones, sound amazing and have a reliable Bluetooth connection. We think we have accomplished all of that in Amps Air," continued Lee.
Amps Air are $179.99 and come in Rose Gold, Black, Teal, Blue and are available at Best Buy, Amazon, and solrepublic.com.
About SOL REPUBLIC
SOL REPUBLIC is a global consumer electronics and music lifestyle brand dedicated to enhancing people's lives through style, sound, and technology. Comprised of music fanatics, SOL REPUBLIC designs it's products from the ground up to look, sound, and feel unlike anything else in the market. For more information, visit SOLREPUBLIC.com
IPTV/OTT Breakout Year: 4K/P60/HDR Rockchip RK3228 Series Becomes an Excellent Choice for IPTV/OTT Box
HONG KONG, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier in mid-October 2016, China chip maker Rockchip showcased its Quad-core RK3228 series of OTT boxes during the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition), by which 3228B was reported as the most cost-effective and 3228H as the best performing solution.
According to forecasts, more than 70 million units of IPTV/OTT boxes will be shipped from China market in 2016, of which China Telecom will sell more than 25 million units and China Unicom and China Mobile will sell about 20 million units each. Mobile operators have become the industry leaders, with the "China Solution" for IPTV/OTT gradually taking shape.
Operator Model in China allows for the advantages of smart channels to be brought to bear.
The OTT/IPTV boxes, based on the Android system, are the mainstream products in the Chinese market, with natural eco-chain advantages. China Mobile launched an improved version based on the traditional OTT box solution, which besides loading Internet content, provides relatively centralized product content and hardware management, allowing the trend of development in OTT boxes to be more flexible and standardized. At the same time, China Telecom and China Unicom are utilizing IPTV broadcast control over source content, middleware and other hardware and software to set the standards. By using relatively independent network management control, upgrading to 4K, improving the user experience by using high-bandwidth big video, including Internet shopping, payment and other new formats into the proprietary channels, operator-specific video eco-system will provide higher quality service with richer format, which will surpass the Internet OTT box business soon.
4K/P60/HDR IPTV/OTT Solution RK3228Helps Bring in the Era of Big Video
RK3228 OTT box solutions have three standout features:
1. Support brand new UHD standards, multiple dimensions enhance the 4K
picture quality and fluidity
2. First mass-produced highly integrated P60/4K solution with the greatest
cost-effectiveness
3. Customized audio and video solutions that can better support 1080P video
capabilities
Home Entertainment Center: the Future of IPTV/OTT
With the rapid development of IPTV/OTT in China, the concept of the "home entertainment console" has begun to break through the limitations of TV functionality. In addition to the richer program content available through the Internet, a variety of online business applications can also be installed that enable the television to access and utilize home entertainment and business functions, such as social media, shopping, VR, games and so on, bringing users a completely new entertainment experience. The OTT box will become the "TV Super Box."
It is widely known that Rockchip provides an excellent choice for high-end TV boxes -- RK3288 and RK3399 solutions. These solutions can support 4K high-definition video, as well as games, VR and other high-quality video needs.
360 Games Allows Game Publishers to Distribute Content to 531 Million PC Users with their Newly Updated 360 Softmanager
Largest PC gaming distribution platform in China, 360 Softmanager, releases major upgrade
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- 360 Games, China's leading game distributor and publisher, announced today that it has released a major upgrade on its digital distribution service 360 Softmanager. 360 Softmanager allows game publishers to easily distribute their products to its 531 million user base. It provides global game developers and publishers with a one-stop service to have their product submitted, reviewed, and finally uploaded to the store. It also announced five exclusive services that allow small and medium-sized game developers to compete with larger game publishers.
360 recently revealed that 531 million users are using its PC products and services, composing 96.6% of the game market in China. 360's latest statistics show that 360 Softmanager has accumulated over 30 billion downloads, and that more than 100,000 registered publishers have joined the platform.
Developers endorse 360 Softmanager because it's a convenient resource for end-users to buy and discover new games, and 360 has amassed an enormous amount of data on its user's preferences and habits. Using this vast pool of data, 360 Softmanager provides analysis to game developers for targeting user demographics, and predicting consumer purchasing patterns. Games usually take up to about 50% of overall content on digital distribution platforms, for instance games account for roughly 43% of products on Apple's App Store. At present, game distribution accounts for only 13.9% in 360 Softmanager's store, indicating that there is significant opportunity for gaming to grow as a market on 360 Softmanager.
One-stop gaming service to create the largest PC game distribution platform
In the western gaming market, Valve Software's Steam service is the preferred digital distributor. The number of Chinese users on Steam has increased from 4 million in 2015 to 10 million at present, making Chinese gamers the third-largest user demographic on Steam. Chinese users on average now own eleven Steam games, compared to the six they owned on average in 2015. Chinese users are becoming more willing to pay for original, non-copycat games, and are paying more attention to the quality of games.
As the focus of 360 Games in 2016, PC gaming is an important category of 360 Softmanager. In the future, 360 Games will cooperate with more PC game developers and expand its product lineup, and will develop its features to include livestreaming services, game peripheral sales, and other community services.
Five exclusive services to provide a greater opportunity for developers
Apart from the launch of 360 Softmanager, five developer policies are being announced:
-- Free Participation and Revenue Share for Developers
-- Expedited Single-Player Game Service
-- 360 Games Distribution Consulting Program
-- Global Platform Integrated Service
-- 360 Softmanager Resource Sharing
360 Games Distribution Consulting Program provides support for PC games, mobile games, and web browser titles. For example, in the early design stages for 360 partners, senior game design consultants can offer support on how to improve a product.
The Global Platform Integrated Service aims at helping Chinese game developers enter the global market, and overseas game developers enter the Chinese market. Also, it provides counseling for publishers developing games across platforms.
As a valuable resource in the Chinese game industry, 360 is focused on introducing global PC games to the Chinese market, and for overseas publishers who aim to enter the Chinese market, 360 Softmanager is a must.

An official partner of UEFA EURO 2016, Hisense is UEFA's first Chinese sponsor in 56 years, and through this sponsorship the world has been introduced to Hisense as China's No.1 TV brand. Hisense TV's market share has been No.1 in China for 13 years in a row. What's more, Hisense TV was tops in unit share both in South Africa and Australia this year. The B2C business of Hisense covers TV, refrigerator and air conditioner, and more.
However, Hisense's great achievements in its B2B business is not as well-known as its B2C business. Hisense's optical communication business is already No.1 in China and its optical receiver module has been holding the top position in the world for 5 consecutive years. Hisense's intelligent transportation system also has been China's No.1 in terms of market share for 7 consecutive years. From 2012 to 2015, Hisense won 42% of the domestic intelligent transportation projects that were worth over 100 million RMB each. While developing its own computerized surgery assistance system and smart operation display system, Hisense's technology in surgery guiding systems has reached a globally-advanced in just 3 years' time. After 14 years of development, Hisense's market share in the commercial air conditioner space is already No.2 in China, with the help of its world-leading VRF technology.
The rising of Hisense's B2B business indicates that the company is no longer a pure CE and home appliances company, but also a high technology company.
Going forward, Hisense will use its technology to link all communities through communication products and smart home products and eventually provide services to entire cities.
Hisense's B2B business will also seek to develop overseas markets together with Hisense's existing global TV, fridge and air conditioner businesses.

-- FICO(®) Enterprise Security Score provides an external rating of a
firm's network security.
-- The cloud-based service combines a complex assessment of network assets
involving billions of data points with predictive analytics to forecast
the risk of a material breach event.
-- The score is available for enterprises to self-assess, track, and manage
their own cybersecurity risks, and is also offered as an important tool
in vendor and supply-chain risk management, asset valuation, and breach
insurance underwriting. http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnvar/20111010/CG83314LOGO
Analytic software firm FICO today launched the FICO(®) Enterprise Security Score, a metric that reveals the likelihood an organization will be breached due to a cyber attack. This score can be used by an enterprise to understand and shore up its defense gaps, and by third parties such as cyber insurance providers, potential partners and customers who need an objective measure of a firm's cyber risk.
The FICO Enterprise Security Score is an upgrade of the solutions previously offered by QuadMetrics, which FICO acquired in May. FICO upgraded the QuadMetrics analytics with FICO's advanced analytics technologies that power various industry-leading solutions from FICO, including FICO(®) Falcon(®) Fraud Platform.
The FICO(®) Enterprise Security Score performs a complex assessment of network assets, applies advanced predictive algorithms, and then condenses the results down to a three-digit score that rank-orders based on the odds of breach for an organization, allowing an empirical comparison of organizations' cyber security risk. The score represents the likelihood of the enterprise suffering a material breach in the next 12 months. Organizations can use this score to understand and track their own performance, or share it with business partners as an easy-to-understand surrogate for a more in-depth exchange of security posture details. The score comes with current threat profile characteristics and granular insights into potential security issues.
"The need for a standard, empirically derived analytic measure of cybersecurity risk gets stronger every day," said Doug Clare, vice president of cybersecurity solutions at FICO. "There have been attempts to quantify a firm's security posture, but they lack the predictive element, which is FICO's specialty. We aim to bring to cybersecurity the consistency, transparency and predictive power we have brought to credit history in the US through the FICO Score."
The FICO(® )Enterprise Security Score is backed by a highly scalable, cloud-based platform that evaluates the entire Internet address space for information to assess the security of any network. This unique asset is updated with billions of data points from around the globe, and enhanced with public and proprietary source information. There is no software or hardware to install, and no integration work to perform.
"To date, cyber insurance underwriting has been challenging, as threats change constantly," said Clare. "Without a clear industry benchmark or standardized risk criteria, insurers have had to rely on a wide range of high-touch methods and judgmental criteria when establishing cyber policies and premiums. The FICO Enterprise Security Score delivers a trusted, empirically derived, long-term view of cyber risk that can improve not only the underwriting process but ongoing portfolio risk assessments."
"Information security professionals actually have a fairly good understanding of the challenges and threats of cybersecurity, but often aren't able to see the cohesive effects of their countermeasures and diligence, affecting both their overall effectiveness and their ability to quantify the risk for their business partners," said CEB Senior Executive Advisor Jason Malo. "Benchmarking at an enterprise level could help complement current metrics and also provide a risk measurement framework for ongoing management and project investment."
"By combining our wide network of data resources with FICO's industry leading advanced analytics, we've created the most powerful and accurate forecast of a company's cyber risk," said Manish Karir, former CTO of QuadMetrics, and product manager of the Enterprise Security Score. "This score gives chief information security officers details they need to protect their own network assets. It also provides an empirically derived standard benchmark for cyber insurance providers and everyone else in the cybersecurity ecosystem."
"QuadMetrics provided a very unique scoring index, indicating the likelihood of cyber security problems for an organization," said Joe Sawasky, CEO of Merit, a non-profit, Member-owned organization governed by Michigan's public universities that owns and operates America's longest-running regional research and education network. "This proved invaluable to our member organizations in Michigan, given that cyber risk is now among the top business risks overall. The FICO enhancements will make this an even stronger solution, which provides value not only to CIOs but also to CFOs, risk management professionals and boards."
The FICO(®) Enterprise Security Score is a complement to FICO(®) Falcon(®) Cybersecurity Analytics for threat detection.

Coates Group Is Industry's First To Deploy B2B Virtual Reality Tool, Changing The Way Brands Develop New Solutions
Not just for fun and games, VR offers an efficient and captivating business planning tool
CHICAGO, Oct. 27, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Coates Group, a global leader in digital merchandising software, kiosks, and digital drive-thrus, is the industry's first to utilize Virtual Reality (VR) from a B2B perspective, allowing brands to physically see and develop new digital hardware and content within their own virtual store. Creating a never before seen experience in the world of digital merchandising, Coates is teleporting clients into a realm of possibilities at their new Lab in Chicago.
With retail and restaurant technology advancing so rapidly, bringing ideas and products to life before they are superseded is a real issue brands continually struggle with. With the Coates Lab VR tool, creative teams and designers can immediately see their merchandising ideas come to life using a VR simulation of the customers' environment. Until now, the first time a client saw the finished product was at the end of the design and manufacturing process, stimulating a wave of inspiration about what would work better and how to improve the experience. Unfortunately, these light bulb moments are often realized too late. The costs, time, and finite resources prevent the client from achieving the best result possible. The Coates Lab now transforms that experience allowing brands to go on that creative journey, test "riskier" concepts through the eyes of their customers without prototyping, time delays or incurring huge costs.
"We are delighted to offer this game changing advantage to our customers. The VR tool has proven to be a powerful and effective method to help brand designers, marketers and development teams efficiently ideate their own virtual store, and quickly land on the ideal design without costly and time-consuming prototypes," says Leo Coates, CEO of Coates Group. "Brands can walk through their concept environment and change the content on digital signage using our proprietary Switchboard( TM) CMS, to test and visualize how different campaigns roll out in stores, allowing for real-time revisions to the proposed store environment."
Coates VR experience includes:
-- Visualize entire spaces and merchandising campaigns in the early design
phase
-- Complete design control from the point of conception
-- Tailor and revise digital solutions earlier in the process
-- Reduce piloting and modelling costs and time
-- Test and develop through the eyes of customers for maximum engagement
-- Conduct focus groups to collect real world insights
Coates has initially developed this tool with retail and quick service restaurants (QSR's) in mind, given the opportunities and historical challenges. Recently, Coates worked with a global QSR to enhance the drive thru experience and tackle some of the inherent challenges faced by the customer at the drive thru. Coates allowed its client to experience and manipulate the customer journey through different merchandising options and updated hardware modeling. Coates and their client are ultimately working together to increase revenue by driving up-sell, reducing drive thru times and improving the overall customer experience.
"While VR is commonly used in gaming and other consumer applications, this is a new and innovative B2B approach to using VR in the digital marketing industry," says Don Stroberg, Chief Operating Officer of Radius Networks a leading global supplier of beacon technology and Coates partner. "For creative teams and agencies who currently rely on concept and CAD drawings, 3D fly-throughs, or have to build replica test stores, this is a highly efficient and modern option."
The VR experience elevates Coates' digital hardware and software product development, personalization and pilot programs. Coates invites clients, creative teams and developers to stop by the Coates Lab in Chicago to experience this personalized VR experience. Please contact info@coatesgroup.com for a tour.
About Coates Group
Founded in 1963, Coates applies technology and solutions to deliver relevant, personalized digital merchandising content for quick service restaurant brands (QSR) and the retail industry. Coates' data-driven CMS software Switchboard, self-order kiosks, digital drive-thru and outdoor displays are used by leading brands across 35 global markets. The privately held company is headquartered in Australia with offices in Japan, India, China, and U.S. operations are based in Chicago. For more information, go to http://www.coatesgroup.com
