The Sixth Flag Introduces Cell Structure Security To Secure Cloud
Raleigh, N.C., February 4th, 2016 – The Sixth Flag, Inc. today revealed its model of Cell Structure Security to secure its Workspace-as-a-Service in the Cloud. Recognizing traditional approaches to securing the cloud and enterprise networks are still falling short, Pete Kofod, founder and CEO of The Sixth Flag, has found that this concept, which he developed from experience in the military, to be highly effective in securing his Workspace-as-a-Service.
“A cell structure is a system that is highly resilient to external compromise and severely limits the ability of an attacker to further exploit the organization beyond the cell. Should the cell be compromised, the parent organization immediately isolates and collapses it. This is a concept regularly employed in clandestine warfare, which we have adapted to the securing of our virtual workspace,” says Pete Kofod, Founder of The Sixth Flag, Inc.
The industry response to advanced persistent threats (APT) has been to continue to focus on hardening single points of failure, including central authentication systems. While this is certainly a worthwhile activity, little has been done to mitigate the consequences of inevitable compromise. “It’s not good enough to harden a system against an attack,” Kofod explains. “You must also have a process that contains the effects of an inevitable breach.”
Pete likes to point out the following paradox: “If the systems that employ multiple layers of security all rely on the same single “Central Authentication” mechanism, the question that never gets asked is whether those systems actually provide independent layers of defense, or ‘Defense in Depth.’ This is not an academic exercise. Recognizing the criticality of authentication systems, attackers have spent significant resources on compromising them, often successfully.”
The remote user is often an initial target and while systems such as Time-based One-Time Password (TOTP) protect against compromise of user login credentials, they do little to protect the underlying authentication system.
The Sixth Flag applies Cell Structure Security to its virtual workspaces, transforming the Cloud into a security asset. In a bold prediction, Pete Kofod states that “2016 is the year the cloud will be considered an asset rather than a liability.”

The most advanced x86 workstation on the market, the liquid-cooled APEXX 5 can be custom-configured with a multitude of expansion cards, hard drives, memory, and CPU cores. Featuring dual Intel® Xeon® 2600v3 processors for up to 36 cores (72 threads) and the most full-length expansion slots of any professional workstation, the previous APEXX 5 model featured simultaneous utilizations of four full x16 PCI-E 3.0 expansion slots, (1) PCI-E 2.0 x8 (x4 electrical), (1) PCI-E 3.0 x16 (x8 electrical), (1) PCI-E x8 (x8 electrical), along with eight full-size hard drives. The new 2016 model goes a step further by elevating three expansion slots and adding risers so APEXX 5 now accommodates a fifth full-length, dual-width GPU, and a sixth, single-slot, full-length GPU, or any other full-length single-width PCI express expansion card.
Another addition to the 2016 APEXX 5 is a hot swap drive cage which accommodates up to eight 2.5 inch drives, while internally, the system houses up to five 3.5 inch drives or twelve 2.5 inch drives. APEXX 5 is ideal for GPU rendering in V-Ray® RT, NVIDIA® Iray®, Octane Render, or CATIA Live Rendering or with simulation software like ANSYS, ANSYS Fluent, FluiDyna, and SIMULIA .
“The redesigned APEXX 5 addresses a specific market segment,” says Morley. “But as a solution provider, that’s a key element of the BOXX mission—providing the power and performance that creative professionals and organizations need and can’t get from other workstation providers.”

WaterField Designs Unveils Distinctive Staad Attaché for Apple iPad Pro & 13″ Macs
SAN FRANCISCO, CA (PRWEB) JANUARY 12, 2016
WaterField Designs debuts the Staad Attaché, a beautifully-designed, unique bag for the new Apple iPad Pro and 13-inch MacBooks. With its novel military buckle, a densely padded iPad Pro compartment and clean, modern lines, the fetching Staad iPad Pro bag blends high functionality with elegant style, bridging the gap between casual messenger bag and formal briefcase. WaterField Designs has been designing and manufacturing custom laptop sleeves, bags, and cases for digital gear in its San Francisco studio since 1998.
“The Staad Attaché’s padded tablet and laptop compartment fits the game-changing iPad Pro along with the Apple Smart Keyboard or Logitech keyboard or Apple’s 13-inch laptops,” explained owner Gary Waterfield. “For professionals who want a bag more formal than a messenger but don’t feel comfortable carrying a briefcase, this Staad Attaché is the perfect transitional bag.”
The Staad Attaché is a sleek tablet bag or laptop bag, ideal for creative types, entrepreneurs and other style-conscious professionals looking to carry basic necessities with ease. A full-grain, distressed leather flap closes with a unique clip developed by the military—once used to instantly access ammunition—that opens with a “quick flick.” Premium, full-grain leather adorns a lightweight and rugged black ballistic nylon or tan waxed-canvas base for a stunning look.
The Staad’s thoughtful design anticipates users’ every need. A customized internal pocket protects the iPad Pro or 13-inch MacBook with dense foam on all sides and is covered by a scratch-free liner. With a dedicated Apple Pencil pocket and two additional interior pockets, important accessories are always within easy reach. The Staad’s slim main compartment features a gold liner making it easy to quickly spot individual contents such as files, a sketchpad, or notebooks. A large front pocket opens on two sides with sleek waterproof zippers and includes a scratch-free interior pocket for the iPhone 6s or 6s Plus. To reduce shoulder and back fatigue, a comfortable and adjustable suspension shoulder strap can be worn messenger style or over one shoulder; alternatively, a leather-lined handle provides a more formal carrying option.
Elaborating on the bag’s name, Waterfield explained, “An attaché in diplomacy is a support person who is attached to a diplomat—always close by and ready to serve. Our Staad Attaché is the case that you’ll want serving you by your side—lightweight, compact, and easy to carry.”
Availability & Pricing
Staad Attaché for the iPad Pro: Price—$229
Colors: Lightweight brown waxed canvas or black ballistic nylon body. Full-grain leather flap and accents in black, chocolate or grizzly. Dimensions: 14 x 10.5 x 1~3 inches. Weight: 1.8 lbs.

IK Multimedia releases Miroslav Philharmonik 2 for Mac/PC: The new orchestra with legendary soul is now shipping
December 17, 2015 – IK Multimedia is proud to announce that Miroslav Philharmonik™ 2 for Mac and PC is now shipping. Made in conjunction with master musician, jazz legend and sampling luminary Miroslav Vitous, Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is an emotionally charged orchestral workstation that takes the groundbreaking virtual instrument used on countless classical productions, film scores and pop hits to new levels of expressiveness and realism. It provides over 2,700 instruments with over 55 GB of samples with beautiful new sounds recorded in stunning high-resolution at the prestigious Czech National Symphony Orchestra Studios in Prague.
Real symphonic emotion
Miroslav Philharmonik 2’s expressive collection of sounds includes soaring strings, animated woodwinds and majestic brass as well as precision tuned percussion including a majestic 9′ concert grand piano, an elegant harpsichord, stately orchestral chimes, a kinetic concert marimba, a warm and rich vibraphone and a lively glockenspiel.
The mallet instruments are all provided with perfectly placed mono and Blumlein stereo miking allowing users to place the instruments into the perfect spatial context. These instruments have been sampled to convey all the emotion and humanity of the musician behind each note. All of the samples from the original Miroslav Philharmonik are included, optimized with articulation switching and the latest effects.
Instruments in the collection blend perfectly as only the best modern symphony orchestras do. The instruments are expertly recorded free of excessive ambience so musicians can place them into the exact recording environment using Miroslav Philharmonik 2’s cutting edge ConvoRoom and classic algorithmic reverb effects.
Effortlessly expressive articulation
The string, brass and woodwind instruments all include multiple articulations performed by master musicians, and they can be played using articulation switching or as separate instruments. This lets musicians instantly switch between flowing legatos, animated pizzicatos, aggressive spiccatos, elegant staccatos, triumphant fortissimos and more. The mallet instruments have been recorded using different types of mallets giving players more tonal flexibility. The piano’s soundboard has been modeled to facilitate the perfect interaction between the player and the amazingly complex mechanism of the acoustic piano providing stunning acoustic realism.
Powerful processing
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 sounds like the best audiophile symphonic recordings because of its more than 30 professional-grade studio plug-in effects from IK Multimedia’s acclaimed SampleTank® 3. These fully editable effects encompass the full range of the sonic spectrum and include equalizers, dynamic processors, filters, modulation effects, reverbs, delays and more. It also includes 4 of the best analog-modeled mastering effects from IK’s acclaimed T-RackS mixing and mastering suite and an updated convolution reverb effect.
Play. Mix. Edit: Advanced control
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 uses the same Play, Mix and Edit pages as SampleTank 3. These pages give musicians an extreme amount of creative flexibility and control. It includes an easy-to-use instrument browser, a 16-part DAW-style mixer and a powerful synthesizer section with 3 sample playback engines and 10 high-quality filters.
Seamless integration
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 can be used on its own as a standalone or plug-in instrument or as an additional instrument collection inside of the SampleTank 3 sound and groove workstation.
Pricing and availability
Miroslav Philharmonik 2 is available now as a direct digital download from the IK store and from select music retailers worldwide, or as a boxed version with a USB flash drive.

About Red Giant
Red Giant is a software company made up of talented artists and technologists who collaborate to create unique tools for filmmakers, editors, VFX artists, and motion designers. Our company culture is focused on finding balance between work and life – we call it “the double bottom line” – this philosophy helps us ignore complexity in favor of building simple tools that yield giant results. Over the last decade, our products (like Magic Bullet and Trapcode) have become the standard in film and broadcast post-production. With over 200,000 users, it’s nearly impossible to watch 20 minutes of TV without seeing our software in use. From our experiences as artists and filmmakers, we aspire to not only provide tools for artists, but inspiration as well. Watch our films, learn from over 200 free tutorials, or try our software at www.redgiant.com.
