TechWeb's Light Reading Communications Network Acquires Pyramid Research, Creating the Most Comprehensive Provider of Global Research in the $3 Trillion Communications Market
NEW YORK and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- TechWeb's Light Reading Communications Network (http://www.lightreading.com/), the leading integrated publishing, events and research company serving the global communications marketplace, today announced that it has acquired Pyramid Research (http://www.pyr.com/), a market research and advisory service company. Pyramid analyzes and forecasts demand for communications and media services, applications, networks and devices in more than 100 countries, with a strong focus on developing markets, where much of the communication industry's growth is expected over the next ten years.
Pyramid will be integrated with Heavy Reading (http://www.heavyreading.com/), creating the communications industry's most comprehensive provider of research. Heavy Reading, the independent market research arm of the Light Reading Communications Network, offers quantitative analysis of telecom technology to service providers, vendors and investors.
"According to the US Telecommunications Industry Association, the worldwide telecom market is expected to grow $900 billion, to $3.9 trillion in 2009 and over 70 percent of that growth will be outside the US," said Tony Uphoff, Chief Executive Officer, TechWeb. "Although we reach the broad universe of professionals who build, deploy, manage and finance next-generation telecom and enterprise networks with online, events and research, this blockbuster combination of Pyramid and Heavy Reading more than doubles the size of our research portfolio and positions TechWeb for increased global growth."

It has established a reputation as an industry leader based on the breadth of its coverage, its time-tested database and forecasting methodology, and its multilingual analyst team. "We view this acquisition by TechWeb's Light Reading to be highly advantageous," said Daniel Schimmel, President & CEO of Pyramid. "Being part of a much larger media company will provide Pyramid with the resources and market access to grow."
From a pure research perspective, the Pyramid and Heavy Reading combination is very complementary, according to Dennis Mendyk, Managing Director of Heavy Reading. "Pyramid's 'bottom-up' methodology will complement and deepen Heavy Reading's existing 'top down' research analysis business, provide growth opportunities and expand the group's international presence. Additionally, Heavy Reading's US-based customers will now have a greater opportunity to access to Pyramid's research and to its team of strategic analysts."
Beyond the research business, the combination of Light Reading and Pyramid creates tremendous growth opportunities, according to Joseph Braue, Group Director and SVP of Light Reading. "Exposure on Light Reading, which is by far the largest online communications community in the world, will provide an excellent platform to highlight Pyramid's unique value to the industry and drive Pyramid's growth. Moreover, Light Reading's expertise as the leading integrated webinar and research-based event producer in the communications market will create more formats and avenues for Pyramid content to be experienced by service providers and communications equipment and software vendors around the world."

BT Enhances Security Monitoring Service to Protect Enterprises from Botnet Threats
EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BT today announced the enhancement of its global Event Monitoring and Correlation service to further defend enterprise networks against the growing threat of malicious botnet attacks. Using new proprietary detection tools, BT can identify which hosts within a customer's network are under the control of botnets and then assist the customer with quarantine and remediation efforts to restore the network's integrity.
Botnets are a significant security risk to businesses because they are primarily used to execute criminal activity. A business is not only at risk from compromised corporate and individual user information, but could also be liable for criminal activity resulting from their infected networks.
Even businesses taking responsible precautions and exercising best practices can still be compromised by bots and be unaware they have been infected. Since most bots communicate only infrequently with their command and control hosts, the chances of detecting infected machines prior to a critical event, without significant technology and infrastructure investment, are slim. However, since bots do communicate and these communications generate firewall traffic, BT's Managed Security Solutions Group has created the ability to detect bots by monitoring and analyzing firewall traffic.
This solution provides significant value-added service to BT's existing Event Monitoring and Correlation customers worldwide and eliminates additional infrastructure spending, since customers do not need to buy additional proprietary detection technology or add IDPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems) capability to their network. Firewall traffic is collected and analyzed at the BT Security Operations Centers for patterns of activity that bear the hallmarks of bot communications. Customers also benefit from BT's proprietary technology to correlate across multiple security technologies and its diverse customer base, significantly improving the accuracy of these alerts.
When botnet activity is detected, the customer is notified immediately. Activity is summarized for customers in daily reports, which form a historical record they can then use to identify broader trends on their networks. This assists customers in prioritizing remediation and policy activity.
"Our botnet detection tools provide customers with a significant layer of additional protection that wasn't previously available," explained Jeff Schmidt, Vice President and General Manager, Managed Security Solutions Group, BT Americas. "Industry projections show that on a typical business day, there are upwards of seven million separate bot attacks. It's essential that companies ensure they have maximum and continuous early-warning security measures in place to protect the integrity of their assets and mitigate risks."
For customers who monitor their firewalls as part of their subscription to BT's Event Monitoring and Correlation Service, powered by BT Counterpane, the Botnet Detection Module is automatically enabled as part of the standard service. Existing BT customers who do not subscribe to the firewall monitoring service should contact their BT account manager to take advantage of this new feature. New customers can contact BT at 1-888-710-8175 or via email at sales@counterpane.com to speak with a security specialist to learn how they can get a head-start on threat monitoring.

BT is one of the world's leading providers of communications solutions and services operating in 170 countries. Its principal activities include the provision of networked IT services globally; local, national and international telecommunications services to our customers for use at home, at work and on the move; broadband and internet products and services and converged fixed/mobile products and services.

Verizon Business Helps E-Retailers Gear Up for Holiday Crunch'Tis Already the Season for Online Retailers to Plan and Prepare
BASKING RIDGE, N.J., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- If you think the holiday season starts earlier and earlier for consumers, you're right. That's why smart online retailers are already planning and preparing for this year's seasonal e-commerce crunch.
This year, more shoppers than ever are expected to go online to do their holiday gift buying. According to industry sources, online holiday shopping sales exceeded $29 billion in 2007, a jump of 19 percent over the previous year.
September and October are critical months for online retailers to check their list of preparations. With that in mind, Verizon Business offers e-retailers six key information technology (IT) tips to help make the most of the busiest time of the year:
1. Figure out what makes your Web site tick. All retailers have underlying business processes, such as purchasing, that enable their online business. Retailers should carefully evaluate the e-commerce sections of their Web sites to identify essential business processes - for instance, "add product to cart" and "checkout." Then, the retailer's IT team should determine which IT components, such as servers and applications, support the processes and make sure the right capacity is in place.
2. Fix it or back it up. Retailers should review their IT architecture, looking specifically for any places where e-commerce business processes are not redundant. If the IT team discovers a lack of redundancy in the critical online-buying process, it should develop a backup plan that outlines what to do if that application fails. Round-the-clock monitoring and management is also key to quickly isolating and fixing problems. Retailers may want to consider relying on a third-party provider to host and manage their Web site. The goal is to avoid the worst-case scenario - an application crash that brings down the Web site.
3. Plan, plan, plan. Using historical information as well as online shopping projections, the business can estimate the number of users expected to visit its Web site. The IT team can then determine what's required to maintain consistent, reliable uptime. If capacity limitations are identified during planning, the e-retailer should bring in extra support (which may take the form of additional staff, servers or memory, among other things) to meet its anticipated increase in traffic volume.
4. Put it on the calendar. Retailers should create a business-impact calendar to show where Web site availability is crucial and high-volume Web traffic is anticipated. The day after Thanksgiving, the first weekend in December and the last shipping date before Christmas should be on the calendar. It is also important that the IT team knows when promotions, coupons or new product launches are scheduled. Above and beyond the typical holiday traffic spikes, promotional events can cause significant surges in online activity. As these spikes can bog down a Web site, additional measures such as load balancing may be needed.
5. Go into lockdown! Most retailers institute a holiday change freeze that restricts or denies changes to their IT systems and applications. Retailers should institute this freeze in early November. One change in a single application can cause a ripple effect across the larger infrastructure. The risk here can far outweigh the benefit.
6. Last but not least, make it safe. Hackers frequently target retailers, looking to capitalize on the wealth of consumer- and identity-related information that retailers store. Retailers should make sure to protect legacy applications, as well as sensitive data stored in log files. In addition to having the appropriate detection tools in place, retailers should ensure that security logs are closely monitored round-the clock, 365 days a year. Maintaining compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), a set of comprehensive requirements for enhancing payment account data security, should also be at the top of the list.
With industry sources estimating that holiday sales can account for up to 50 percent of a company's annual sales, a profitable holiday season is a business imperative for retailers. By embracing the tips above and getting a head start, retailers with online stores are well on their way to a happy - and successful - holiday season.

Earth Search Sciences Appoints New Chief Financial OfficerNew CFO to shape financial strategy and investor relations
BOSTON, Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Earth Search Sciences, Inc. (BULLETIN BOARD: ESSE) , a technology company focused on the development of domestic, inland oil resources and revolutionary ultraspectral imaging technologies today announced the appointment of a key new member to its senior management team. Charles G. Bridge Jr. has been appointed Earth Search's CFO.
As CFO, Bridge will be responsible for financial and strategic planning and investor relations. Bridge brings a wealth of experience connecting investors with viable corporate partners, raising capital for corporate entities, and managing financial and corporate accounting, SEC and NASD reporting, human resources, and corporate risk matters. Bridge has held CFO positions in the investment and venture capital fields since 1997.
Luis Lugo, CEO of ESSI, said Bridge's appointment represents a significant step forward for the company.
"Buoyed by Charles' pedigree in financial management and investor relations, we're confident ESSI will be ideally positioned to secure continued investment as we close in on our proof-of-concept patented gasification technology testing scheduled for the fall and other patented technologies," said Lugo.
"Earth Search is quickly establishing itself as a notable player in the oil shale exploration and development arena," said Bridge. "Having secured financing to build and test a new prototype, ESSI is attracting interest from small-cap investors, land owners and multi-national corporations. Joining ESSI right now represents a unique opportunity to assist the company in realizing ambitions that will place it among the top players in domestic oil shale recovery and development."
Bridge most recently served as Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer with Brooke Private Equity Advisors in Boston where he helped grow the firm to $800 million in assets under management. Prior to that, he served as CFO for Boston Capital Ventures. Bridge was also CFO for Capital Resource Advisors/Wellesley Group, Inc.
Bridge holds an M.B.A. from Northeastern University and a B.S. from the University of Maine.
About Earth Search Sciences -- http://www.earthsearch.com/
Earth Search Sciences, Inc.'s (BULLETIN BOARD: ESSE) revolutionary hyperspectral and ultraspectral technology provides the ability to accurately read the chemical properties of surface substances from great altitudes and produce easily interpreted maps allowing the user to identify specific minerals and substances on the surface of the earth by their diagnostic reflectance patterns. Ultimately, this remote sensing capability identifies a greater number of exploration targets quickly and economically, monitors the environmental situation, and improves the probability of finding anomalies. Older, more conventional methods would take decades to cover the same area, and at a much greater cost. Within the realm of exploration, remote sensing does not replace the need for geological knowledge, geochemistry, geophysics, seismic, drilling, etc, which are some of the more conventional tools used for exploration. The application of Earth Search's patented and IP-protected hyperspectral technology cuts across the commercial, medical and military spectra.

ANAHEIM, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Multi-Fineline Electronix, Inc. , a leading global provider of high-quality, technologically advanced flexible printed circuit and value-added component assembly solutions to the electronics industry, today announced it has signed agreements to lease a 117,000 square foot facility in Pontian, Johor Darul Takzim, Malaysia and to purchase manufacturing equipment located at the facility for approximately $1 million.

The Company's high-mix/low-volume business is comprised of programs featuring a significant number of models but produced in limited quantities and is currently in applications for the medical and industrial marketplace.

"While this comprises a very small portion of our overall business today, we see strong growth potential and opportunities to expand into new markets in the future.
